SMITH ueoN smrTR.

Citizen SMITH, who is contesting Mr..
O'KANE's seat in the Legislature, wired
his paper yesterday evening the follow
ing very graphic dispatch, which, Ow-
ing to the characteristic difidence dis
played therein, deserves reproductions;
Some Democratic members of
the House weakened a little last night and
said they believed Smith should have che
seat and O'KGne be compelled to contest.
Vigorous pressure is being brought to bear,
and caucus may be held on O'kane's
case. Tne O'Kane case is not helped by
his presence, either. Smith is a good
mixer, and would take the leadership of
the party in the House if seated.

Otto Weisgerber was splendid and was
in great demand, as was the ice cream
furnished by burst. Brother McFad-
den presided and made a fine address OF
welcome.

CHARLESTON, w. VA, January 1.-THE
Committee on Privileges and Elections mas
completed it's consideration of the smith
O'Kane case and viii report TO the House
on Monday morning a resolution providing
for the seating OF O'Kane. The commit
tee held a four hours session this after
noon. and il was o'clock when conclu-
sion was reached. John A. Howard, OF
Wheeling appeared as counsel Ior
O'Kane. and Malcolm Jackson, OF
Charleston, appeared for Smith IN
the place of Hon. William +. Huo-
bard, Of Wheeling, Smiths regular
attorney, who was not able 10 Dc present
Ali the papers submitted as evidence were
carefully gone over and searching e1alI-
nation of the facts in the case was made
Trhe conclusion of the committee was based
on the fact that the certificate presented
by Smith was fraudulent and upon the evl-
dence presented to them that O'kane nSo
a majority of votes over Smith. Inc he
pubiican members of the committee dlo not
DENY that the certificate OF Smith was frau-
dulent. or rather as Judge Maxwell put IL,
.sthat there was considerable cloud upon
it.p but held that the Legislature snoulo
reeonnt the ballots and 90 into
thorough investigation OF the
casa The Republican members OF
stbe committee viii submit minority re-
i3ort in which they will hold that neither
Smith nor O'Kane is entitled to seat, ana
ask the House 10 instruct the committee 70
send for persons and papers ana make
thorough examination OF the case
This practically settles the contest, as
the House will, no doubt, very properly
adopt the majority report on Monday and
send MIR. Mandamus Smith home, sadder
but wiser man. IL is expected that there
win be quite spirited contest in the
House over the adoption OF the report, out
Mandy will not lead the Republican SIDE
on the floor Of the House. Not this time.

JOHN l.. SULLIVAN.

Nobody who saw the famous JOHN L.
SULLIVAN last night could doubt that
ae is out of the pugllistic arena for
lver. Bloated, ugly aud misshapen by
lehauch he is far, very far from being
}he splendid specimen Of physical man
lood he was a few years ago. 1t has
aiken long time for riOtOus living 70
break his giant strength and vitality,
but 10 was only a question of time and
SULLryAN's time has come. he is a
wreck, when he should Do st the zenith
OF his animal strength and glory, and it
is quite as much as be can do to 90
through the mock three round bout
with a man smaller than himself In mis-
silly play.
The play is written around SULLIVAN,
Of whose personal character it is sup
posed TO be a sort OF vindication, or
revelation. But his personal appear
anee and manner give the lie at every
point to the character he assumes
character absurd enough in itself, bnt
made more so by the actor. he bears
the stamp Of low and vicious tastes, in
dulged to the full, and debauchery and
brutality in every liDeament. Il were
rs easy TO make a silk purse out Of
sow's ear as even a mock hero out Of
SULLIVAN.
The life Of the great pugilist con-
tains a moral that all may plainly read.

The investigation By the French par
liamentary commission OF inquiry into
the misuse Of Panama canal funds has
already brought forth evidence enough
against the accused to make the ques-
ton OF their sentences already a topic
Of discussion.
1t is a tale Of widespread and whole
ale debauchery and corruption that
brings ruin to thousands OF poor people,
and unuttera5le disgrace TO scores Of
the most prominent leaders and men Of
the Republic. It is terrible revelation
and il is not q matter for wonder that it
has so stunned and overwhelmed the
mercurial people of France that revolu-
ton seems imminent. The latter prob
ably can be averted only by the prompt
conviction and due sentence and pun
ishmeut OF the guilty parties.
The testimony shows that money
was sQuandered recklessly upon men
whose sole aim was 10 get as much as
possible without doing the work they
had agreed to DO. Ex-Chief Secretary
Of the Company MARTIN testified TO the
unYarnished eorruptness OF the contract
system and the scandalous abuses With
which the whole canal work was honey
combed. Contracts were signed for
machinery and supplies with French
firms whose bids, taken together, were
2S, 900, 900 francs higher than the bids
OF English and Dutch firms. Everybody
in the management Of the comPanY
knew that this sort of work was being
done; also that Baron DE REINAcH
and other financial agents were getting
enormous commissions.
An army Of agents handled the con-
tracts, and were paid and per cent
commission. Hundreds of thousands Of
francs were distributed gratuitously
among persons to secure their good
will. Banker OBERANDoERFFER was
paid 100000 francs for merely sug-
costing the lottery scheme, and was
given other enormous sums by CHARLES
DELEssEPs to prevent him from specu-
lating against the company. The out
rageous demands OF manufacturers and
contractors were usually granted with
out question, and in this way alone
IS. GOO, 900 francs Of the savings Of a poor
peasantry were squandered, while
millions went in bribery, corruption
and debauchery 10 the press, to
public officials, ambassadors, generals,
ministers and deputies. No branch Of
the government appears to have es-
capped contamination from the folds Of
this gigantic Panama serpent. Even
President CARNoT is accused.
In view Of these terrible revelations
OF utter rottenness in the high places
Of the French Republic, together with
similar wholesale financial scandals and
frauds in Germany and England, it
would seem that Europe is rapidly
reaching the Sodom and Gomorrsh
stage, when it will perish of its own
corruption.
