M GARRAHTAN, TIAT OLD CLAI. Special Dispatch to The Tribune- ‘WaisnNGToN, D. C., March 9.—The Senate Committee on Public Lands spent the whole dsy on the McGarrahan case. The session -was xoted chiefly for the counsel present. Matt Carpenter and Jere Wilson were for McGarra- ban, and Jere Black for the New Idris Com- pany. The representatives of New ldria pro- posed to show that McGarrahan has, by means of stock, tried to bribe the case through Con- gress and the courts. Mctiarrahan, or his side, claims to be able to show that the New ldria Company has bribed §n .o most lavish manner ;ewspapers, courts, and Congressmen. There was nothing new developed in the evidence. To the Western Associated Press. Wasnvgrox, D. C., March 9.—The Scnate Public Lands Committee to-day heard evidence in regard to the McGarrahan claim for the property in California known as the New Idria Quicksilver Mine. Judee Jeremiab Witson, E. C. Ingersoll, and ex-Senator Carventer appeared for McGarrahan, and Judee Jeremish Black, “David 8. Wilson (Tows), and ex-Chief Clerk of the Land-Officé Curtis, for the New Idria Com- pany. - Wilson said the defendant intended to show that every decision in favor of McGar- rahap had been obtained by the use of money. After a discusslon relative to the admis- sion of evidence of tnis character, Mc- Garrsban - was asked if he hud ever given stock based on his claim to John Hickman, ex-member of Congress fiom Peun- sylvania. He replied he never had. Witness further said: Daniel E. Sickles performed some services for me. 1did not agree to give him any compensation, but subsequently I gave him an interest in my claim. He would have acted for meif Ibad never given him a dime. Never ve James Wilson, ex-member of Congress, of owa, either stocks or money. There was some talk between Sickles and myself about- taking Edwin M. Stanton into our business. Sickles £aid be did not think it was necessary to have Stanton’s aid. Stanton was not Attorney-Gen- eral at that time. Imade no attempt to buy up the Attorney-General’s office. - Mr. Wilson offered in evidence several letters from McGarrahan to Mr. Frank, Sccretary of the Panoche Grande Company, which he claim- ed would show McGarrahan and Sickles at- ‘tempted to operate upon Stanton while Attor- ney-General for the purpose of securing his in- fluence. One of them stated that Lic and his 1friends were willing to take Stanton into the same boat with them. The lettersto Frank number over 700, and cover a correspondenca of tenvears, Their reading was discontinued, and it was ordercd tbat they ali be printed and go into the Record. Judgze Wilson said they wereall of a general character, showing that money was paid, Federal appointments sccured, and Jaws changed in the interest of the McGar- fahan claim. A Adjourned.

Garfield to-day, 1in which the Judge did not appear to special ad- ~vantare. It scems that last fall Kelley became alarmed as to his renomination, and many Re- publicans assisted bim. It was thought that because he stumped Ohio for Bill Allen on the Greenback platform as against Gov. Hayes that the latter would be opposed to his re-clection. Charles Foster said that Hayes did not care iwo cents about it, but that. at the instance of Kelley he(Foster)wrote a letter to oneof Kelley’s constituents saying that Hayes would be pleased 1o see him re-efected. - Haves had no objection to iis re-election.

WasmNToN, D.C., March 9.—Mr. Black- ‘burn presided, in the absence of Speaker Ran- dall. Mr. Foster, from the Committee on Apbro- priatione, reported a bill providing for the ap- propriation of $1,333,445 for deficiencles for the service of the Goverument for the fiscal year cnding June 30, 1873, Keferred to the Comumit- tee of the Whole. A nigt session, for debate only, was ordered for Monday next. Mr. Eelley then replicd to Mr. Garfield’s speechof o few days azo. He explained the causes which prevented him from replying to Mr. Garfield’s first speech for over 100 days,— Lis own serious illness and the attempted as- sassination of his son,—and said he thought it was hardly just in that gentleman to send to the country the idea that he (Kelley) had been100 days preparing a reply to his specch.”| The imputation that his (Kelley's) speech was a manuscript speech was utterly withont foundation. In regard to his_support of the rezolution indors- ine Secretary McCulloch's. contraction policy in December, 1865, he admitted he had mude a grave misake, and on'the 8d of January following hnd s voice neainst contraction, and made the rediction with which he had opencd his &peech of the 15tn of November, that if contraction were pursued the conditon of aira that s now upon the country would come. As to the bill demone- tizing silver he was (aithough Chairman of the Committce on Coinage) as ignorant af the demoue- tization of the siiver doliar as Senators Blaine and Voorhees (then members of the Liouse). As to Mr. Garfield's allnsion to (Kellex's) Communistic speech at Younestowu. 0., and his threat that ‘‘labor would take cupital by tne throat,” that etatement was like G: statement, the creation of a diste: governed fmagination. As 1o the interference of ‘members of the Honse in favor of his renomination he asserted that no man eat in the Housc wh had ever 10 his knowledze written such letter, 1f there were he asked him to say so. Foster made & movement a8 if to rise]. Y r. Kelley, one lotter was written. My friend Foster and I wero most intimate then by reason of the proximity of our seata. 1 Imd before him and begore my friend Danford a good many letters reccived in connee- tion with efforts to nominate another man than myself. My friends who wrote me seemed troud- led that thase who were £ceking to oust me were representing that Gov. Hayes desired my de- feat for having some into Ohio (as thev £aid) to eclectioneer for Willam Allen. It was arranged that my friend Foster, who repre- cented i Congress the Republican caududate for President. *bould write a letter that would answer a double purnose. (A ripple of lauzhter started at these words, and suon spread throuzh the Usm- ocratic side extending to the Republican side.] 1 pray you, Mr. Speaker, to bear in mind that if dirty linen s to be washed here to-day, I did not introduce the bundle. [Lunchter,] Mr. Crittenden—Lgt thie warhing go on. [Laugh- ter. 3ir. Relley-3fy friend Foster, wrote a letter to the gentiewan whom 1 named, Southworth, a con- fidential friend of my own, saying he had no au- thority 10 ¥peuk for Gov. Jlayes, but that he was his Congressional representative (laughter]; that he know the kindly relations between the Governor and Kelley, -and that he reason to believe, and was frec to say, Gov. Haves desired tiie return of Kelley. [Laughter.] That letter was given me. 1 can recolleet but one gentleman to whom it was shown, and-that was the gentleman to whom it fo. was addressed, who read it and at my request handed it tome. Mr. Kelley described Ins relations with his_constituents who had_clected him ever eince 1860, who knew his faults and foibles, knew he would sometimes roll out the “¢r's, " an infherifance probably from his Irish in- cestry, knew he had a will of s own, and that when sufferine from dyepepsia he was sometimes rude: who, in fact, kiiew Rhim in rem, and who would be astonished to learn the inflnence that had Dbeen brought to bear on them to secure his election. As to the word *‘trick," It was a very offensive one to him. but if he were to usc that word to desionate anything he would upply it 10 the cazc of the member who In the House nses without that colleague’s consent or knowl not have them in full to reply to, or, perhaps, to move to expunge. Alr. Foster kaid Mr, Kelley had stated correctly the substance of the letter he bad referred to. lie only rosc to state the reacons he bad for writing that letter. Mr. Kelley scemed anuoyed at the effort making to prevent his renomination, because it wasalleged he had zone to Ohio in 1: siumped the State avainst Gov. Ha 2 e, tnd they charged it would be discourteous 10 Fenominate him 88 a Republican candidate in Pennsy Kelley and himself bad a good many talks ubouat and the conversation, he thouehi, had extended to Mr. Garfield, certafnly to Mr. Danford. The first enggestion was_ that ~he (Foster) should o to Philadelphiaon fifs way to New York, and while there he was to be serenaded. {[Great laughter. ] - His duties In Wnshinzton had prevent- cd his going, and being nerenaded (laughier) Dy a band of music, and being called out by a tire company 1o which Kelley had ori; belonzed. [Luuzhter.] However, he hail a and still had a nizh respect for the t alwaye been Ins friend here. . ot Lelieve Gor. llayes cared two cents whether Kcliey were nominated or not, or that ue would have felt un- kindly if that gentleman were nominated. * e (Foster) had desired to see Keliey elected. and he hud therefore written the letter, and had since been glzd to learn fram that wentléman it had veen of ood eervice to him. [Langiter, ) 3r. Kelley desired to throw” a litile light npon the question as 1o who wanted to be nominaicy, It was known to some people that when the c: naign had opened it had been thou 1hat 8 Republican member of Congress, a Gre backer, u convertible bond man, who had be re-clected at the last election. #hould be fent to Indiana, Ohlo. and certsin scctions of Pennsy vapia. where the Greenback heresy, ro-called, Dredominaring. At the request of ‘the mittecs of those States he con<ented, Jican member of Congress, favoring' urcent 10 £o to Indiana, Ohio. and the infecteq distric of Pennsylvania' [laughter], ont ne denied that he had excited riot und talked Commuuisu. Mr. Garfield disclaimed any reflection on Mr. Kelley growing out of the state of his hexith, and 8aid 1twas oniy a little curious to him that long iliness (which usually brings gentleness) not infused a littie more of the spirit of geutlene: into the two hours’ personal attack vu him. 11 he had_misrepresented one word or thought of the gentleman, he owed himan apolozy, and wenld make itanywhere and atany time. ' lie quoted from the remnrks of Alr. Kelloy on the bill to de- monetize sflver, snowing that the senileman did, at that time, know the purpose and effect of the ill, his words_ being, ** it has become impossible 2o retain the American «ilver doliar m this coun- 1ry, except in collections of curi " o €how he had pot **érawn from his inner con- Eciousness " (a8 what_he had eald about that gentlemau’s Commnunistic gpeeches in Ohto, hc procared from the library sud €ent to the Clerk's désk a volume of the Cincinngti Commercial from which the Clerk read a special dispatch deseribing the meeting at Youngstown. Ue (Garfield) submitted whether on the statements read and on similar statements in Cleveland Papers he was not justified ln speaiiny of the gentleman’s Communistic épeeches in Ohio. As to the gentieman's last campalgn he knew it wos gen- crally underatood then thatan expression in favor of the gentleman was solicitea. He (Garfleld) had been solicited on the eubject, and if he had the eame {aith in the restoration of sound princi- ples that others nd, he would have been ziad to oin in the efforts made by those rentlemen. The formal discussion was soon closed, and the Houee went Into Committee of the Whole on the Consularand Diplomatic Appropriation bill (Cox, o Y the chair). ' The bill appropriates $1.036.935, a reduction of §102,439 from 1he ap- ropriation of last year, and u reduction of $177,462 from the estimates of the State Depart- ment.

THE CHICAGO & IOWA ROAD. Judge Blodgett yesterday morning re- fused to egrant the motion made the day before fn-the foreclosure case of Denison etal vs. The Chieago & Iowa Railroad Com- pany to set aside the decree and postpone the sale. The Judge said the deeree was filed Aug. 1last to foreclose a mortzaxe for $2,200,000, given July 81, 1871, ac default taken the second rule day, and, subscquently the President of the road filed a petition to be allowed to come in and make a defense. That petition was oyerruled, beeause he did not show whether he bad any defense or not. A few days ago a petition was flled to have the Qeerce sct aside on two principal grounds. The first was that it was immaturely filea, because the default bad not contivued long enouch for a bill to befiled. But the right to file a bill arose on making a default in payment of the interest, and the ‘Trusices in the execution of their trust had a right to file a bill whenever there was a default. ~ They were not oblized to wait thirty days, but could vroceed in equityto foreelose the mortgage at once. - “Thie second point of objection was, that the decree was made at- the same term of court as. the default, and was crroncous under the ruling of the Supreme Court., But the Judgze held that case did uot apply to courts in constaut session, and was only’intended to apuly toa case like the one in which it was rendere He then went on to give an account of the building of the road, which runs from Aurora to Fores- ton, a distahce of ¢ighty miles. He said further that the quiestion as to the performance of the so-called 30 per cent contract only bore on the good faith of the oflicers of the Chicazo & fowa TRoad whether they performed their duties to- fward tie Company. It they hadallowed thelaree sum of S6U0,000 to become due and_ the Chicazo, Burlineton & Quiney had refused to pavit, it was a _question whicther that would not be such a misconduct as would entitle the gl.’\!m“!s to protection at the hands of the ourt. It was not at any rate a question to be disenssed in the foreclosure suit, being utterly foreign to it. Lsut there was 1o evidence that there bad been sueh misconduct on the part of the oflicers as proved them gmllf' of fraud, been shown that the Chicazo, Bur- ¢ Quiney Road owed any such sum as The lederer of the Chicazo & Iowa Road itself showed a balanee of only 35,000, instead of $600,000. Iz did, bowever, aopear that the interest on the bonded debt had been paid at the expense of the road-bed, ete, and the lutter had seriously run down, so that the Recaver was oblized to expend latwe sums in repairs. It there was such fraud and misconduct, why was it. not shown_belore, when the bill was “tiled, instead of waiting until the day before the sale was to_be made? "The allegations of the petition had not been proved, and the applica- tion to have the sale postponed would there- fore be refused. » “This was yrood news for the Chicago, Burling- ton & Quincy party, and thev, towether with Mr. H. W, Eishop, the Master in Chancery, who was to make the sale, then went down stairs to the entrance of the Republic Life Building, where the sale had been advertised to take place. Mr. Bishop then read the order of the Court dirceting to sell “all the railroad of the said Chicazo & Towa Railroad Company made or to be made, extending from doliet, in the County of Will, to Foreston, in the County of Utle, in saia State of 1Minoie, in- ciuding right _of way therefor, road-bed, super- Etructiire, iron, tics, chairs, splices, bolts, nuts, spikes, all the lands and depot grounds, station- ho depots, viaducts, bridges, timber, and materials, and property purchased for the con- straction of said railroad, all the engines,aten- ders, cars, and machinery; all kinds of rolling- stock owned by said Chicazo & [fowa Raitroad Company azquirtd tor or to be used upon said reiltoad, and all the franchises and rights of the eaid Chicago & Towa Kailrosd Company relating thereto, aud all property acquired by virtue thereot.”” As soonas he bad concluded the reading of the above order, Mr. Bishop said -that, if any- bady other than nondholders of the Chicago & Towa Railroad bought it, he or they would. have to pay cash down. But, it the bondholders bonght it, they would have to pav for it within thirty davs from the date of the sale, depositing §15,000 in cash. . Alr. Georze W. Kretzinger, on behalf of the stuckholders who bad presented the petition for a postponement of the sale, announced that they proposea to apoeal against Judge Blod- fett’s decision aud the order of conlirmation, when niade. Mr. Bishop said: * flow much am I bid for the Chicugo & Iowa Railroad 2 Mr. J. M. ker, Solicitor for the Chicago, Barlington & Quiney Railroad, bid $500,000. Joel D. Harvey, Collector of Internal Revenue, raised the bid $50,000. Mr. Walker bid $700,000, and Harvey went £100,000 better. Then Walker bid $500,000, and Iarvey shook bis head and d thut sizeu his pile. The property was accordingly knocked down at $000.000, the pur- chasers belng griven as William G. Weld, Georze B. Chandler, and J, M. Walker, in trust for the bondhalders, Mr. ITarvey said he wus acting on hehalf of a certain railtoad interest, but de- clined to give names. * 1. Waller, General - Solicitor of tne Burlington & Quiney Railroad, who the Chifeagro & Towa Railroad yester- day, states that be bougnt it on bebalf of he sccond-moiteaee bondbolders, The Trustees for thie second-mortwage bondholders are Messrs, Brovks and Denvison, both of Boston, and prominently connected with the Chicago, Burfington” & Quincy. The purchasers as- sume the debt duc. the first nortguse houdholders, Mr. Moses Taylor, of New York, amountmg to S660,000, which makes the total amount paid for the road, cighty-one miles, 31,500,000, which is said to be s much as the road is worth at this time, Mr. Walker states that no appeal ean be made from Judge Blod- wett’s decision to Judwe Drumimound, both Courts having coequal jurisdiction in such cascs. All My, flinckloy can do ig to apply to either of the Judees to bave tae sule st aside, but there is but little likeliiood that such will be donc. s Judze Drummond bas previvusly refused 1o at- tend to this matter, referred it to Judge Blodgett. The probabilities are that the road will hereaflter be run in connection with the icazo, Burlington & Quincy. “Thie managers of the Cnicago, Burlington & Quiney and the Illinois Central Railroads deny that they authorized Mr. J. D. Harvey to pur- chase the road for them.

By an ‘arrangement be- tween the Cinirmen of the State Central Com- mittees,—Mr. Rankin, on the part of the Dem- ocrats, and Mr. Rublee, on the partof the Re- publicans,—it was agreed that each Committee, with their ‘political friends in the Legislature, should name one candidate; and’ thus avoid & vartisan contest over the c}cution. This plan has been carricd out by both parties, and every- thing is lovely thus far. *“Boss’’ Rankin issued his formal edict vesterday, explaining the situa- tion, and ordering all mood Democrats to lag nsiae all prejudice and ‘malice aud vore for the ilon: David Taylor at the next election i’;lsh the same” as if he were a good emocrat, under the pains and penalties of excommunication. By the termsof the agree- ment it appears that Judge Taylor drew the short term, 1886, and Judge Orton the long term, 1888. It will be next in order for * Boss”? Rublee to issuc his order to the same eflcet. When these two new Judges are added to the Supreme Bench, there will be two_Democrats (Ryan, Chicf Justice, and Orton) and three Re- pubdlicans (Cole, Lyon, nnd Taylor). It may be stated in passing, that Orton is also an ardent Greenbacker, to which fact he no doubt owed his pomunation. Scoator T. O. Howe sends a letter to the Journai here, in which he says that he knows nothing of "William Nelson’s defaleation United States Marshal of Utab. Nelson ha recently been removed. e wasappointed upon the recommendation of Howe and Cameron.

Spectal Dispatch o The Tribune. i MiuwiskeE, March 9.—The Chicazo, Mil- waukee & St. Paul Railway' Company has de- termined to extend its Towa line from Alrona to Yankton, a dgistance of 180 miles. The sur- veyors are already on the ground, locating.the new route, and the Company will be ready in a few weeks to receive proposals for building the first fifty miles. A valuable grant of land was voted to the Company by the Towa Legislature at its Tresent session, cousisting of over 300,000 ,.1yinz adjacent to the proposed extension, vhich will be greatly enbanced in value by the building of the road. The new line, with the old one, penetrates a breadth of - country across the entire State over cighty miles wide without a competing road, so that its paying capacity will be appreciated at a glance, especlally when, the fertility of the soil is taken intothe: unt. By the terms:of the grant, the Company has two sears fn Wwhich to complete its new exten- sion, but the oflicers expect to have it all tiu- ished in cightcen months at fartnest. ‘As this great Compauy has its eastern termi- nus now iu Chicago, the brospect of imm Iy adding 180 miles of new road to its west radius is n matter of interest to your merchauts | and business men.

Comptroller-General Dunn Reviews the Ae- tion of the State on: the Bond Question— + Also State Polities Generally, Covuxnia, March 9.—The public indebted- ness of South Carolina has been- under dls- cussion in the Leeislature the past ten days. The Democrats were divided upon the report of the Bond Comuwissfon,. which rejected a large amount of bouds funded under the Consolida- tion act of 1873. Finally a committee ot con- ference was appointed, and a basis was sub- mitted to the caucus this afternoon, which was accepted, and will become matter for the action of the Legislature next week. The agreement Is as follows*- . First—To levy o tox snflicient to moet tae inter- cst on the entire debt udjusted under the Consoli- dation nct, Second—To constitute n special conrt of three Cirenit Judzes; before whom the bouus declared invalid by the Commission shall be taken up on test cases, with the right of appeal to the Supreme Courts of the State and United States. Zhird—That matured interest on all honde de- clared valid by the Commission shall be paid out of the money in the Treasury, and the interest for the current year on’such ponds shall be paid out of woneys collected hereafter. Fourth—That as the final ndjndication is reached upon the bonds declared invalid by the Commis- won, the Tunds levied for tnterest shall be paid out upon tie cniire amount of bonds declared valid obligntions of the State. Firth—That the floating debt of the State, in- cluding bills of banks of the State, be settled at 50 cents or the dollar. payable in coupon-bonds " bearing G per ceat interest. i York Tribune, 3larch 8. A correspondent siguing himself J. Williams, aud giviog bis resideuce as No. 79 Monroc strect, Brooklyn, writes - to the Tribune in relation to the troubles in South. Caro- lina. He asserts that the impression that that State has been swindled by the “carpet- bug Government, made up of a~ set of raseals from the North, and mostly from New England, by the aid of the 1znoraut colored men, id heavs burdens on the poor people of that State, and stolen and squandered the money in riotous living,” is a wrong cne. He states that the , very worst men have been ‘proved to be men to the manner born,” such men as ex-Gov. Moses. e says it is the greatest of all mistakes tosu pose that the people of South Carolina furnish- cd the money, and asserts that ¢ The pcople of the North supplied it, and are never likely to get it back. The pecople of the North boucht the bonds issucd by the State, and the North, not the South, was robbed.” * He thinks the rioting did not cost $6.000,000, the amouns of the bonds repudiated, all of which were held at the North, Among the guests at the Astor House yester- day was Thomas C. Dunn, Comptroller-General of South Carolina under Gov. Chamberlain. Mr. Duon is @ man of medium size, with a pleasant, face. loni, pointed gray beard, and gray mustache. Ile went south and cnzaged in business, taking some capital with him, seven years before entering politics. Being informed of the letter mentioned above, Mr. Duun said: ** The writer is mainly correct 28 to who pid the fiddler. From 1865 to 1872, the Republican State Government” levied very high taxes, but issued a large quantity of bunds, —some of whicia have been repudiated—and sold them in the North, or hypothecated them for lonns. " Allthe money_spent in riotous living came from the North.- Part of the Republiean party- of the -State rebelled against this action in 1870, and ran an ooposition_ticket, but was Jbeaten; the ticket was again beaten in 1872 by Moses, who is a native of Sonth Carolina. This opposition was simply against this issuc of bonds, and the enormous expenditure made by the Legislature. Aithoush the reform element Iailed to elect its Governor,—Mr. Tomlinson, who came from Peansylvanin,—it sccurcd a majority in the Assembdly. When this element ~ secured the General — Assembly it pessed o constitutional ° amendment forbidding any inerease of the public debt; then took up and thoroushly cxamined the_question of the existing debt, and repudiated 36,000,000 that had been unlawfully issucd by the Republican Legislature. - 1t then passed an act to issue the ‘consolidated bonds,’ providing for the funding of the remaiuder of “the debt, which amounted to 311,000,000, privcipal and interest, at 50 cents on a dollar, the coupous of these bonds being receivable | for taxes. When Gov. ° Chamberlain ‘was elected in 1574, all parties bad in their platform a recog- nition -of this scttlement of the public debt question. In 1570é when the Hampton party rau against Gov. Chamberlain, both purties re. iterated this rccognition, and pledgod - them- selves to maintain the settlement. Since Hampton was elected, the Exccutive Com- mittee of the Democratic party, and the * Wal- lace Ilouse ’ have arain declared, by resolution, that they would maintain the set. But now the Democrats ia the Legislature are trying to re- pudiate a larwe part of the consolidated bonds on purely technical pretexts. - Gov. Hamptou is doing all he can to Liold them to theic pledges, but hie will probably ot succced.” Mr. Dunn emphasized his former statement, that * the money that was squandered is the Yery moncy that came from the bouds, and not from taxation. The average taxation dur- ing Gov. "Scott’s Administration _did . not exceeds S0 cents on 100, which would not have been more than enough to run the Government dn a0 ccomomical way. All the squandering came from the pockets of the pcople of the North.” **As to ex-Gov. Moses,” Mr. Dunn said, “hé is beneath notice. * As to his charge that I stole the State for Hayes, he has not been in office {or two years, and was not_Jikely to have the means of knowine. John B. Dennis, whom he quoted as abie 1o testify to the same fact, had o better means of knowing than Moses Moses, who was private secrctary to = Gov. Pickens, in sccession days, used to- boast thiat’ he was one of the first men to help hoist the Confeucrate flazon Fort Sumter. He came into the Kepublican party in 1863, under recon- struction, for what he could make out of it, for he was shrewd. He was head and front o the ning that brought discredit on the party.’” P Of Mr. Woudruil's diary,” Mr. Dunn said, “the zeneral belef by those who know him Is, tha it was noc kept while he was Clerk of the Senate from 1863 10 1576, but has been written since. It is in a peculfar short-hand of his own, that no other short-hand sriter can interpret, and he writes out what he - claims to have kept during those vears. There are things in it koown tobe false, and I judge the rest of it mainly by that, though I have wo doubt he did Day money to sume of the persons mentioned.”| 1vis the object of the Democratic Investigating Committee to blacken the characters of leading Republicavs. Woodruffl and Senator Jones were ‘managing partners’ of the * Printing Company,” and the other members received equally iniquitous witl: raceiving bribes.

[ “**All this thievéry, Tand kbavery,” qud mis=" | goverument,” Mr. Dunn concludes, *“ dates back prior to Jan. 1, 1878. The Investizating Commutter, which has been sittinr-for cight montbs, has charzed no crime of any sort againet the Republicans after tnat time until Gov, Hampton's time, . which proves that . the, Republican: party of South Cuigling.per- | formed that wonderful feat of reforming 1tseif : by casting out men like Moses, Parker, Scott, | and Kimpton, and did it becauscof these things. ‘There were many in the Senate that they could not remove, as they were strong among _thoir. owms constituents. /The. Dem- ocrats did not charge anything against Chamberlain’s last = Administrn@on, but charged that.’as a member of the Finance Board under Scott’s Administration, Chamber- lafa must have known of.these vast frauds. The Kepublican and reform opposition to him in 1574 was solely on account of his connection with Scott, but"as Governor of the - State his whole course_was such as to secure for him the full support of the reform element of the Republican party.. The qnly reason for any opposition in 187 was purely personal, as some of the party wished to nomi- nate me. The bulk of the colored vote could always be securced-for- a native white man in prefercace_to a Northern man, as the_ colored voters bad.an idea that the more white men. born in the State they had in their party the less Dbitter would be .the opposition to the colored men. Gov. Moses clected entirely by colored votes, and in 187 000 white natives voted for Judze Green, a native of the State, in opposition to Gov. Chamberlain. Nearly all the uu,l;ivc whites in the Republican party “held office. FINANCIAL. . NEW YORK. New Yorr, March 9.—William J.

There cannot by any possibility be a single inno- cent purchaser, and to give the public lands away to such schemers as these stockholders areis trifling with the public interest. The Government ought to rehieve those whom it has wronged, and to be able to do so it ought to be very sure that the claimaut has at' least somc equity in his case before it votes away its sub: stance.
