WASHINGTON, April 2S.-Mr. Shuford
Republioan), Of North Carolina, intro
duced a resolution to-day, ito investigate
the extent to which Federal patronage is
being used 10 control legislation and cor
rupt the public service"
The preamble recites that charges have
been publicly made that the use OF Fede-
raj patronage has become national dis
grace. and menace TO our institutions;
that il Is charged that 1t Is being used
to control conventions. coerce Congress,
and manipulate the Supreme Court; that
the power OF 10000 Federal officials, cen
tered in the Chief Executive. will absorb
the independence of the other coordinate
branches Of the government; that circum-
stances seem to justify the belief that
Executive influence. through the use OF
Federal patronage, was exerted to secure
the repeal of the purchasing clause of the
Sherman act at the extra session OF the
Fifty-third Congress. and that IL Is be-
lieved this abuse OF Executive prerogative
has been practiced for many years, yet
never eliminating to that shameful and
alarming extent as during the term OF
the present administration
1t is resolved, therefore. that commit
tee of five be appointed 10 investigate the
subject and report some plan by which
this growing evil may be eliminated.

Its Answer 10 Application for In
junction.
JERSEY CITY. April 23.-The American
Tobacco Company this afternoon filed
with Chancellor McGnl, at his law-office.
its answer to the application for an in
junction, to prevent the company from
paying a 20 per cent. dividend in scrip.
The answer says that Hall, the petit
toner, is not a member of the Trust, but
bought in Philadelphia ten shares Of the
stock. in order to secure a standing in
court for the purpose Of asking for an
injunction.
The answer further says that on De-
cember 81, 1885. the company had surplus
fund OF 100000. and that the 20 per
cent. dividend is to be paid from this sur
plus, and not from the profits of the cur
rent year, as Hall alleges.
The case Will come up for a hearing
next Monday.
