The Ohio Bribery Charges.

On Wednesday last the Ohio legisla-
ture adopted resolutions inaugurating
an investigation into the charges re-
Gently preferred by Col. S. X. Donavin,
Democratic editor, who charges that
Henry b. Payne, president of the Stand
ard Oil company, procured his election
as United States senator by the grossest
bribery, and giving the names of the
state senators and assemblymen who
sold their votes to Payne, with the
amounts received by each. Col. Dona-
wins charges are so explicit in all par
ticulars that, even were they made by a
less responsible person, they could not
be ignored, and now that an investiga-
ton has been ordered it is reasonable
TO presume that both sides will put forth
their best efforts to maintain and to
controvert the charges. All of the at
tainted members who have been inter-
viewed strenuously deny the charges.
and actions for libel are being laid
against the Commercial Gazette, which
first gave publicity to the matter.
Prominent as the men are, with their
following of friends, and many of them
men of wealth and influence, it was the
height of folly for the newspaper to
publish such allegations unless it was
SO certain of its position as to defy all
rebutting assaults. The Democratic
members of both branches of the legis-
lature are thrown into utter confusion
by the steps taken, and in order to
break the force of the terrible charges
have made an allegation that $1,000
was paid to Republican assemblyman
only few days ago in order to secure
an unbroken Republican vote for John
Sherman for senator, the member hav-
ing been opposed to Mr. Sherman and
declaring he would vote for any other
candidate in preference. But the pub
lie refuses to have its attention dis
tracted by any such Insignificant effort,
and the prospect ahead in Columbus
durin g the winter is lively IN the ex-

upon justice that has ever disgraced the

which led her to commit suicide. The

Germany, uudeterred by the presence
of Perkins, of Connecticut, a peddler
OF pocket cutlery, has annexed the Sa-

years ago, during a rebellion of half of
the natives against the lawful authority,
Perkins came to the rescue of the king,
armed the troops with his Connecticut
pocket knives, and victory perched up
on their banners in every engagement.
And when the cruel war was over, and
the boys came marching home again
with glad and gallant tread, Perkins
held government bonds enough to have
sold the king out of the very paint on
his back. Interest to the amount of all
that the islands have produced has been
paid Perkins. but his three dozen Jack
knives remain unpaid for, and the ac-
QUESTION of the islands by Germany is
