borrowing at six per cent. No argument
therefore could be drawn from the rate of
interest authorized by loan acts. When
the Government was compelled 10 obtain
temporary accommodation it was required
to pay what money was worth in the local
market, taking care that they did not pay
more than the legal rate of interest. Mr..
Dickey had said that if the credit OF the
Government had been good it could have
borrowed at six per cent. The credit OF
country perhaps was not so good as he
might wish it, but ut all events it was rs
good under his adniniStI alton as in times
past, perhaps a trife better. A seven per
cent Loan Act for 81 900 600 was passed in
1876, and distinguished gentleman, whose
picture hangs upon the walls, had been
sent TO Europe to negotiate that loan, but
with all his influence. he was not able 10
raise single cent. That was in the golden
age of Hawaiian credit. But this had

The tug was needed; petitions had been

amount in cash, and accepted reasonable

tho news did not know whether the

had said that ho (White) could "baiid a

went 10 Glrdner's, where he found
White, and whom no asked if he had

no man had ever called him that name
and 'got away with il, ard threw HIM

Special Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
COLUMBUS, OHIO, Feb. 5.-The republicans
ind themselves in an embarrassing position
this morning because of the conduct of Senator
Gregg, who insists that he should be one OF the
committee TO go to Cincinnati for the purpose
OF investigating the alleged frauds. The opin-
ion prevailed that this committee would be
composed of Messrs. Pringle, Ford and Coulter,
the best and strongest that could be appointed
for this particular duty. Gregg is not wanted
by Ford or Pringle, who have been serving
with him, and regard him as an obstruction.
The fact that both Pringle and Ford are OPP
posed TO Gregg will, it is believed, cause the
presiding officer to appoint Coulter instead.
NO DEMOCRATIC TESTIMONY oFFERED.
The committee on privileges and elections re-
turned from Cincinnati this morning after hav-
ing been in that city three days. Two police.
men were before the committee to give testi.
mony for the democrats, but were in an intoxi-
Gated condition, and on motion of Mr.. McBrede
6democrap they were given time 10 sober up.
The two men were locked up in a room, but
soon after released by two policemen, who
secured pass keys from the chambermaid,
Last night after the committee had adjourned
the democrats went to the Burnet house and
inquired of the democratic members why il was
that some democratic witnesses had not been
called. The ans wer was that the committee had
been in session days, and every opportunity
offered to any one having evidence OF fraud
being committed to come forward and testify,
but that no democratic evidence had been sub.
mitted. Mr. Higgins, democrat, stated that the
committee did not come TO Cincinnati to hunt
up testimony defending fraud, and ii there was
fraud perpetrated by the republicans the demo-
Gratis had been offered ample opportunity 10
bring their PROOF before the committed Mr..
Higgins added, If such work was done in my
county as has been shown here somebody
would have been hurt. Dan Dalton aud others
will be brought before the house on Wednesday
next. The committee will have the forged
