MUST PRODUCE THE CHARGES.

The various Senate committees having
power to investigate and report upon
the various appointments made 10y Presl-
dent Cleveland during the interim since
the adjournment of the 18th Congress,
have taken off their coats and propose
10 wade through the massive pile with
thoroughness, and the various cabinet
officers will be called upon to show cause
for the suspension of the various officers.
One instance of this manner of proce-
dure comes from the finance committee,
who have before them about 80 appoint
ments, which we're made 10 supersede
RepubL cans, and the committee have
before them objections To the contirma-
ton Of about one-half of these. They
propose IN such cases 20 call for the
charges preferred against the suspend
ed officials, and Secretary Manning has
been requested to produce these, which
he will be compelled to do, If he prefers
not 10 let the cases 20 by default.
Postmaster General Villas has been
similarly called upon in the cases of the
$50 suspended postmasters, and that
gentleman will very probably be en-
ployed for some time TO come resurrect-
ing preferred" charged which had been
pigeon-holed, ostenslbly, forever.
There is promise of warm work be-
fore the committees for several weeks
to come, and other heads ofdepartments
besides those named will likely have to
show up the charges also.

SENATOR INGALLS,, the bright man from

in the following terse language, and the
same leads OH, to the opinion that the

mystery to Mr.. Ingalls, as to anyone
else.
There is one thing about Mr.. Cleve-
land; he suits the Republicans better
than the Democrats, and we are going
TO try and reinforce and assist him
against the incorrigible spollsmen Of his
own party. Cleveland is a mysterious
man; a man without associates, compan-
ions or friends. No one has anything TO
do with him except Dan Manning. As
soon as the shades of night come on they
take a vehicle and parade around the
city. After dinner they 90 into the lib

he is an extraordinary one"
