Charges Against Senator Payne.

Sherman and Edmunds and Hale, and other
Senators failed signally in their efforts to fur
Their investigate charges against the manner
of Senator Payne's election by the Ohio Leg
islature. The Republican members OF the
present Ohio Legislature some months ago.
by resolution, made insinuations, rather than
direct charges, against the legality OF Mr..
Paynes election, andf orwarded them TO the
United States Senate, with request that
the Senate investigate them. The Senate did
so. at the request of Senator Payne in addl-
ton, and found nothing irregular, illegal or
improper in connection with Mr. Payne
election. and the committee making the IN
vestigation so reported. Sherman, Edmunds,
Hale and others wanted the investigation con-
timed. and two days debate on the motion
was had last week. Logan, Evarts and sew
eral other Republicans, as well as number
of Democrats, opposed the further consider
alton of the charges, and the motion to con-
time the investigation was defeated by vote
of A to II. By similar vote the Senate de-
clared there should be no further investiga-
ton.
When the Ohio Legislature passed reso-
luton TO inquire into the charges OF bribery,
&C., intimated in connection with Senator
Payne's election, that gentleman at once
wrote to the chairman of the committee ask
ing the fullest investigation, and offered to
deliver to the committee all his books, papers
and letters. These were never asked for, but
in the most superficial way the committee
went through form, and drew up resolutions,
which the Legislature passed and sent to the
United States Senate, depending upon the
partisanship of that body to find cause to de-
clare Mr.. Payne's seat vacant. The charges
proved to be idle rumors of the fiimsiest sort,
and as much as the Republican majority OF
the Senate desired to see Republican, Mr..
Payne's seat, they could not with any show
of decency do otherwise than abandon the
investigation, although the leaders applied the

Confirmation of Morris A. Thomas.

The Senate in executive session on Tuesday
spent an hour or two on the nomination oil
Norris A. Thomas, of Baltimore, for Indian
inspector Senator Harrison, of Indiana,
made a long speech against Mr.. Thomas,
going over the various charges brought against
him by the Ciyil-service Reform Association
of Baltimore and by individuals. He con-
tended that the charges had been established;
that the nomination was an unfit one and
should not be confirmed. Senator Jones, OF
Arkansas, a member of the committee on H.
dian affairs, said he had given careful con-
sideration and investigation to the case, and
was satisfied that there were no just grounds
why Mr.. Thomas should not be confirmed.
Senator German also addressed the Senate at
much length, touching somewhat on Maryland
politics, and indicating his opinion that per-
sonal and political motives had much to do
with the opposition to the nominee, and as
sorting that the record of Mr.. Thomas would
compare most favorably with that of his as
sailants. When the vote was taken Mr..
Thomas was confirmed by very large major
ity, the vote being "a to Is. The opposition
really seemed TO take very little interest in the
case Senator Dawes, chairman of the Indian
committee, also made speech against Mr..
Thomas, but of so perfunctory character as
to leave the impression he would sooner see
Mr.. Thomas confirmed than otherwise.

Sensational rumors have come from the
borders of Mexico for a week past, and war
like demonstrations have been reported.
There is no cause for alarm, however, as the
affair has been settled. 1t all grew out OF
the arrest and imprisonment of one A. X. Gut
ting, an American editor, by the Mexican
authorities. Cutting, who is Texan, pub
lished a paper at Paso del Norte, Mexico,
Just across the border. A Mexican proposed
to start another paper in the same town, and
Cutting denounced him as fraud, &C., in his
own paper, and then published in Texas
paper certain other charges. The Mexican
took the matter to the courts, and Cutting
was imprisoned and refused bail. This gov
eminent demanded his release, and the de-
mand will be complied with. Secretary Bay
ard may have acted wisely, but little I'M
prisonment would do Cutting good.

Almost every railroad entering Pittsburg suf'

greatest along the Pittsburg and Western
