Some sensation was created in religious
circles here to-day by the announce

Protestant-Episcopal Church and be-

thrown Into companionship with Rev.

pit orator. After the election the
preacher accompanied the Judge to

be sealed in few days by the INNER
sion Of Judge Lochrane at the bands Of

little paragraph sounds note of warn

gress
"Will the Constitution Of the United

vows? Of course not; and yet some
of our bypercritical statesmen act as if
they thought so. Where is the common
sense that should form the basis of in
tellect? The Democrats may have made
mistakes in the past. None greater
than failure to pass the Blair bill can
be conceived, even by the brains of

ton"
Yes, if the Democrats in Congress
listen to the voices of the sirens that are
Turing them on to destruction, they will
have only themselves to blame. The
BLAIR bill cannot be killed by their
non-action. Its passage will only be
postponed until congressman living in
the present century can be sent to
Washington to fill their places.

CROOKED NEW YORK OFFICIALS
Alderman Jachne's Arrest and Its
"Eartbquake" Effect.

Earthquake" Effect.
lBy telegraph to the Dispatch.l
NEW YORK, March l9.-The arrest
Of Alderman Jachne OH the indictment
charging him with bribery in the mat
ter of the charter Of the Broadway
surface-road, has had an effect upon
politicians fairly comparable to an
earthquake. Inspector Byrnes claims
to have worked himself so far into
Jachne's confidence that he ac-
knowledged having received $4,000
for his vote On that measure and told
who besides himself was bribed and
who paid this money to them.
Jachne is perfectly composed,
and says Byrnes's story of the
confessions is pure fabrication.
Byrnes says that among other things
Jachne described how one Of the bribed
aldermen had employed a lawyer and
skilled accountant to so fix his books
as to account for the large accessions
TO his bank account. About the time
when this bribe-money was being dis
tributed it was currently reported that
Alderman Frelgraf would be arrested
&c. day, but if he has been it has not
become known. More indictments were
looked for to-day, but although about
twenty indictments were handed in by
the grand jury, they did not embrace
any against aldermen.
Alderman Pearson, one Of those I'M
der the cloud, was called to-day as q
witness before the Senate committee OF
investigation, but failed to respond, and
this added fresh impetus to the report
that some of Jachne's partners in the
bride taking have absconded. Rumor
is busy with the names of all who were
in the Board when the Broadway fran
chise was passed.
Inspector Byrnes was interviewed to-
day upon this subject. He refused to
say who had, according to his informa.
ton, been guilty Of bribe-taking, but said
he could absolutely exonerate two men,
bers, Aldermen Grant and 0'Connor-
one Democrat and the other Repub-
lican.
