Lcry Court Commissioners.

There is no doubt that the main de-
pendence of both parties in Sussex is
the use of money at the polls for the
purchase of votes. Both sides will in
dulge in the nefarious traffic as mat
ter OF course, and it is asserted that
there are in the county at least 1000
"hoaters," J." or men who expect to be
paid money for their votes. Among
them, strage as it may appear, are men
who will vote the Democratic ticket if
they vote at all, and who could not be
induced to vote the Republican ticket
by any amount of money; but before
they deposit Democratic ballot they
expect to receive small pecuniary
consideration. There are many others
who will sit on the fence and allow
themselves to be bought in by the par
ty willing to pay the higher price.

Secretary Noble has been paying con-

pressed himself with some warmth.

HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
The Pension Appropriation Bill Dis
cussed at Length.

Among the unfinished business was q
bill for the punishment of every guar.
dian. conservator, tutor, or other fudic-
iary agent for the embezzlement of pen
sions of wards.
The previous question was then or
dered-ayes, 49, noes, 02-and the bill
passed.
The secretary of the treasury sent to
the house a request for an immediate
appropriation of $lOO, 900 for the pur-
chase of beef and other provisions for
the Sioux Indians.
On motion of Mr.. Morrow, OF Califor-
mia, the house went into a committee OF
the whole on the pension appropriation
bill.
Mr.. Morrow explained that the bill
appropriated for the payment of PEN
sions s133, l73, 600, to be distributed
among 654, 715 pensioners. This was
the largest number Of beneficiaries ever
provided for in any single item in the
statutes of the United States. 1t was
estimated the gross cost to the United
States of those pensions for the year
1892 would average s203. 40 each. He
believed there would be no deficiency
next year.
Mr.. Cooper of Indiana, got the floor
and reviewed all of tho charges made
against Commissioner Raum, which
formed the basis of the investigation al
the last session, and asserted they all
proved the pension bureau should be
presided over by a man above criticism
and above reproach. During the last
campaign the commissioner had gone to
Indiana and had invaded his Cooper 81
district. The commissioners only excuse
was that he might defeat Cooper y
election. The commissioner had gone
to Indiana to prostitute his high office
for his party, and ends that he Cooper,
had great veneration for the pension,
and protested that that institution
should not become u spawning place for
corporations, or stall for the sale of
patent rights, nor should 1t be presided
over by malodorous politician, likened
by q republican paper to "a bad egg"
Mr.. Sawyer, of New York, was sur
prised that Cooper should have made his
speech at this time, before the case
closed.
Mr.. Cooper said the committee had
abandoned any further investigation,
but 1t had been clear understanding
testimony during the session.
Mr.. Sawyer further denied that the
charges against Raum had been proved.
Representative Mckinley introduced
in the house, similar to be presented in
the senate, measure providing the
present Tariff law shall not affect the
operations OF the Hawaiian reciprocity
treaty.
Mr.. Bland introduced bill authoriz-
ing the issue of a series OF legal tender
notes 10 meet any deficiencies in the
revenues of the government. The pre-
amble to the bill recites IA deficiency in
the revenues is now threatened, and the
country ID not in condition TO bear any
further taxation. Mr. Bland also intro
duced bill requiring the secretary of
the treasury to prepare new series of
treasury notes, commonly called GREEN
backs, and issue them in sums equal 10
the amount Of the national bank notes

Senator Allen, speaking Of the resolu-,
tion OF Senator Mitchell to establish a
Pacific cable, says that while he enthusi-
astically favors lhe measure, he thinks
that the natural place to have the east
ern end located is on Puget sound. The
assured commercial importance OF Puget
sound is evidenced by the fact that all
the transcon tinental lines of railroads
are seeking terminals on Puget sound.
The first thing important, however, is
to secure the cable, as any point on the
Pacific coast would he beneficial TO the
