Washington, January 1. The fol
lowing letter is self-explanatory :
Washington, January 1. Hon. II.
M. Teller, Chairman of the Sehet Com
mittee of Invest iyalwn : Dear Sir I
have the honor to acknowledge the re
ceipt of yours of the 21st ult., enclos
ing a "copy of the resolution adopted
by yonr Committee, requesting me to
furnish, in writing, such facts and such
evidence as may be in my possession
touching the matter involved in the
amendment made, on my motion, to the
resolution under which the Committee
is acting. Of course, the Committee
does not suppose that the matters em
braced in that amendment are within
my personal knowledge, or that of any
one man. They relate to elections in
every part of the Republic: and the
allegations are, for the most part, to be
found in the opening of Mr. Blaine's
speech in support of his resolution of
December 11th. The ivmator from
Maine distinctly stated that the resolu
tion was based on accounts given in
the e. The Frees has teemod
with statements which, if true, require
the investigation proposed by my
amendment, and I have no doubt mem
bers of the Committee read the news-
naivrt mil Mil ivnlv aa T iln. Tfc
i l a a J
is probable they know where to look
for sources of information as fully as I
do, and they are charged with the re
sponsibility of makin the investigation,
and I am not I beg, respectfully, to
say that I take no part ef it upon my
shoulders. Nevertheless, as my amend
ment was offered in perfect good faith,
and with a firm belief that the matters
it embraces require investigation quite
as much as the matters contained in the
original resolution, it will be projer for
me, especially Bince 'the Committee has
requested it, to furnish suck informa
tion touching the subject as may, from
time to time, come under my observa
tion. I therefore send herewith in
stalment No. 1, consisting of
First An editorial article cut from
this morning's Washington Fost.
Second A copy of a petition of
sixty odd citizens ef New York to the
House of Representatives, complaining
of the illegal and oppressive conduct
of John L. Davenport and other Fed
eral officials at the late election in New
York City; and I am authorized by
Hon. Fernando Wood, who presented
the petition, to say that its statements
are proved by sundry affiants in his
hands, and that he will, if requested,
furnish the names ot the affidavits and
other witnesses to the same facta.
Third A copy of an opinion of
Judge Feedmaa, touching the rights of
certain naturalized citizens of New
York, which rights were grossly vio
lated by said Davenport, as set forth In
said petition.
Fourth I respectiully refer you to
that portion of the speech of Senator
Wallace one of your number deliv
ered in the Senate, December 17, 17 S,
hick relate to the last election in
Pennsylvania. (See Congressional Rec
ord, December 18th, page 28.) I also
beg leave to refer you to the published
letters of Hon. Win. D. Kelly, of
Pennsylvania, showing the means em
ployed by Federal otlicers and ethers
to defeat his nomination and election.
You have no doubt seen the letter in
the newspapers; if not, I have a copy
prepared for you.
I if tii An editorial article from the
Argus and 1'atriot newspaper, of Mont

paid to it, also what means were re

the circular, of that Committee, signed
br George C. Gorbam, its Secretary.
The circular, it is said, was sent to
nearly every person in the civil service
of the Government, and to public con

Almost ever newspaper you pick up
iw contains an article refuting some
statement made in the report of
the , late investigating committee.
Here is the last it explains itself : ,
' Hillsbobo, Ogn. Jan. 13, 1879.
Without wishing in any manner to
screen any illegal act of tbe late ad
ministration, justice requires that a
matter in Washington county should
be set right before the public.
fhe investigating Committee report
that a deed was made March 27, 1878,
to "S." B. Hoover conveying certain
binds in' consideration " of money paid
to tho treasurer of Washington county,
and they , farther say that no Such
amount was paid to the treasurer "at
tuit date. This is correct,, excepting
that the name is "T." B. Hoover, and
I have personal knowledge that there
was nothing wrong' about the transac
tion. . ,
The facts are that a deed was made
by O. G., Harpending, superintendent
of. eommnm schools for Washington
county, March 9, 1867, cenveying the
lands in question to Wm. Chambers in
consideration of $1,100 00 paid to S.
II. Marsh, , school . superintendent, in
October, 1858. The note given for
Bart payment was paid in full with
interest, and seme time aiterwara Mr
Chambers deeded the land to his daugh
ter, Mrs. Jtieover. About a year ago
the title was submitted to me for an
opinion, and on account of informalities
in the execution ot tbo deed from
Harpending, I advised that a new deed
be obtained from the State to cure any
defects in the former deed. - I applied
to the State board for a new deed, and
on furnishing them record evidence of
Mrs. Hoover's title the deed referred
to by the investigating committee was
executed on the 27th clay of March
1878. " The deed recited the tame con
sideration as the ' former : one, which is
on file in the office at Salem. By mis
take it was made to T. B. Hoover in
stead of his wife, but as it was less
trouble for Hoover to make a transfer
than it would be to get another correc
tion, we let it stand that way. So you
see that whatever sins of ommisson or
commission Mr. Cann has to answer
for, this is not oue of them.

"TUB Vf AT TO BBAVMK IS TO B&IMe.
The editor of tho New York Sun
recently wrote a learned article on re
sumption, and one of his subscribers
"headed him off" as follows : "We
now have the exact figures from which
to make our calculations as to the val
ue of the property in the United States
and the beautiful fiction called "re
sumption" is, by the ready pen of our
finance chif, set forth in all of its
romantic charms. John ' Sherman, the
agent of tho bankers and bondholders,
and by accident now occupying the of
fice of Secretary of the Treasury, says
in his report that the amount of coin
held in the Treasury en the 23d day of
November last, in excess of coin suf
ficient to pay all accrued coin liabilities,
was ?14 1,883,1 10, and constitutes the
coin reserve prepared for resumption.
Now, how did he get this coin reserve
into the Treasury 1 lie tolls us that
"at the close of the year of 1877, this
com rwiorvp, in excess .ot coin liabili
ties, amounted to 03,01 G.050 of which
$15,000,000 were obtained by the sale
of fonr and half per cent, and 6 23,
000,000 by the sale of four per cent
bonds, tbe residue being surplus reve
nue." Here we have $ 10,000,000 of
the coin that was in the Treasury at
the close of the year 1877, put there by
selling $40,000,000 four and four and
a half per cent bonds. Next ha givoe
us this bit of information : "The Sec
retary entered into a contract with
certain bankers in New York and Lon
don for the sale of 50,000,000 four
and a half tr cent, bonds for resump
tion purposes." On this sale he got a
premium of $500,000, which added to
the $50,000,000 gives $30,500,000
paid into the Treasury from this sale.
But he had to pay $5,500,000 to Eng
land in coiu on the fishery award, and
again to replace this he sold four per
cent bonds to that amount, "making
the aggregate amount ef bonds sold for
these, (resumption) puqoses, $65,500,-
000, of which $05,000,000 were four
and a half per cent bond, and $30,
500,000 four per cent bonds." Thus
he has by the aid of Congress under
the control cf the bondholders and
bankers, placed a debt of $95,500,000
upon the already tax-ridden people
that he might be able on the first day
of January to resume specie payments.
Now subtract the amount of bonds
sold for the resumption purposes from
the amount of coin on band and we
have$4C,3SH,10O that got intothe.Treas
ury through surplu revenue. This is
his ewn allowing. Now he tolls us
the outstanding United Slate Botes
amount to ?316,C1,010. These are
all to be paid in coin ou the first day
ef January, 1879, if presented in the
sum of $50 at the sub-Treasury in New
York. If any one can figure this
problem he should have a gold modal
even if John Sherman has to sell more
bonds with which to purchase it If
$141,888,100 bo subtracted from $346,-
681,010 a remainder of $204,792,916
will be seen. This is resumption.
This isf what the people have been
bankrupted to secure. If resumption is
to be a fact John Sherman must sell
$204,729,916 of four per cent bonds in
order to place coin enough in the Treas
ury to take up all the greenbacks, and
thus for the glorious privilege of re
suming specie payments the people
must shoulder a debt ef $299,292,916
upon which they must pay four and
four and a half per cent, in coin in
interest, to get which, John Sherman
will have to sell more bonds, thus ad
ding annually to the debt of the nation,
for the revenues will in the future not
more than pay the interest on the old
debt. Was so great a fraud ever prac
ticed upon a fiee peeplet
SOMETIME rOOLISBSCS VV WOBKJIE.
Notwithstanding tbe clearheaded
ness of workmen iu regard to wbat
concerns their own interests,lhey some
times, in their anxiety to get their
rights," quite overstep the mark, much
to their detriment As a case in point
we notice in a recent English letter to
the American Manufacturer, that a
Sheffield firm recently had the offer of
a yery large order for engines some
$100,000 worth and the .workmen,
who were employed only three days a
week, were told that it could only be
accepted if they would submit to reduced
wages, and that by so doing they would
secure six days work ier week for sev
eral months. "The Union", refused to
give the men permission, and the order
was taken to Germany. ;
Another large order was lost to an
other firm in the same city under the
the following circumstance: "An or
der for 13,000 dozen ' razors' went to
Germany, the other day, because there
were not sufficient forgers in Sheffield
to do the work in the time needed
The 'trade' in Sheffield will have noth
ing to do with machinery, by which
means alone a large number of razors
can be eot out rapidly." v
If the above facts are as represented,
it would seem to have been the part of
wisdom on the. part of the workmen
to have accepted a condition of things
which neitheV they nor their employers
could change. It is well known that the
great oppression manifested by the Eng
lish workmen ' to the introduction of
labor-saving machinery1 is one 'of the
chief causes of the declines in Engli

The execution of White Owl and
Quit-a-Tumps, , for the murder of
George Ooggan noar Cayuso Station,
last J"lj, took plaoe this afternoon.
Both were reservation Indians, who
took part in the war against the whites
iaat summer. Thursday and Thursday
night were passed by the Indians in
chanting death songs and bidding their
friends good bye. The cote monies at
the gallows were eonduoted according
to rites of the Indian religion. Both
White Owl and Quit-a-Tumps refused
to have anything to do with the Catho
lic priests or to recieve other spiritual
consolation. They were attired in
clothei, given them by the whites, and
tlioir faces were gaudily painted. Both
made short speeches from the scaffold
confessing that they did the shooting,
but refused to acknowledge the justice
of their fate. They continued singing
death chants until the drop full at 2:45
p. m. The fall dislocated their necks(
and both died without hardly a strug
gle. After hanging for several minutes
they were pronounced dead. Tbo
bodies wero cut down and delivered te
the Indians for diiqtoaition. The bodies
will be buried to-morrow, (Jonsidsra
ble demonstration will be made over the
body of Quit a-Tumps.
A detatchment of the First Cavalry
under Maj. Jackson, aud a number of
citizen volunteers were stationed out
side tho jail inclosure during the execu
tion. The military will remain at the
agency until after the hanging of Apa,
which will take placa next Friday.
Considerable uneanins is foil at to the
result of the execution, and il is not
known but that the Indians may at
tempt to reveng the deaths next sum
mer. Indians profess great friendship,
but many believe it only assumed.
The execution to-day was - witnessed
by about 100 persons, including 10 In
diana. A great crowd collected on the
outside of the jail inclosure and on
surrounding housetops.
Everything paaned off quietly. It
is hoped that tho hanging will prove a
salutary lesson to the Indiana.

The conduct of General Grant him
self, and also Secretary McCrary, to
ward Lieutenant-Colonel Fred. D.
Grant, eldest son of Ulysseaa, is sim
ply outrageous to the Araiy itself and
shameful in the two who are responsi
ble for it. Promotions are supood
to bejrarncd by gallant andmeritorius
service, not favoritism or because of
family influence ; but in young Grant's
case merit stands in inverse ratio to his
promotion. His attempt on Don Piatt,
accompanied by Colonel O-sey, and
both armed with six shooters and
heavy sticks, when the two went to
Piatt's residence to "sail in" on
him, but found him out, is the only ex
ploit in tbe way of war that stands to
bis credit or on the other side ef the
ledger ; and his charge upon the Gov
ernment purse while he went touring
in Europe and journeyed to the Yel
lowstone country is perhaps the heavi
est he ever made. He entered the ser
vice as second Lieutenant in 18 1,
from graduation at West Point He
has already been breveted Lieutenant-
Colonel, over tho heads of brave, ex
perienced and accomplished officers!
on no other pretence in the world than
that h is the son of his' father. And
now, because his father wants the joy
of his company in his proposed tour of
Asia and so on to Washington, by way
of the Pacific and overland from San
Francisco, llayeand his War Secre
tary grant him leave of absence for one
year and award full pay as Lieutenant-
Colonel during his pleasuring. A
Philadelphia paper says this has awak
enod envious indignation among army
officers in Washington, who say that
McCrary has done it so as to favor the
coming Administration. As the "com
ing Administration" will have no
Grant to head it but will be Demo
cratic, the chances are that Lieutenant-
Colonel Grant will in that good time
bo reduced to his proper rank of First
Lieutenant As it is he is paid extra
for extra "aojering" in his father's ser
vice. S. F.vUxaminer. f .

The fact that so many fish are dying
off the coast of Florida calls to mind
the awful prediction of Pi of. Knapp,
From tho juxtaposition of certain plan
ets to our earth, he predicts that one
half of the population of tho world,
including man and all kinds of animals,
and even vegetable life will perish be
fore or during tho year 1880. In
lecture delivered several yean ago, ha
said that this desolation would com
mence by the fishes of the sea dying,
and pestilence and famine occurring in
more southern -latitudes. . The famine
in China and the yellow-fever scourge
in the South, and now the fearful pes
tilence among the fishes in Southern
waters, are so many steps in fullfill-
ment of Prof. Knapp's prophecies. ,
- There is no doubt but that Prof.
Knapp is right but who knows who the
half that .are to perish will bet -It
seems to us., that everybody ought to
prepare for the final change or else re
pudiate Prof. Knapp's prophecy.

old Grooley elements of the Republi
can party of the Empire State art pro
paring for concert of action la ref
erence to the next National Republi
can Convention, Such is the state
ment made In a special Albany dispatch
to the Graphic The main object of the
movement is to prevent the re-Domina-nation
of Grant The New York Star
regrets to think and to say that if that
is the object the movement will prove
a failure. Kosooe Coukling has dom
otnstrated his invinoibility as the leader
of the party of New York. It is well
known that if he cannot secure the
nomination himself, ho will throw all
bit influence ou his former patron and
friend. Men like Fen ton and Curtis,
even with such powerful backing as
Blaine for his own ambitious purposes
might bo able to give them, would not
stand a ghost of a chance against such
a vigilant and securely intrenched an
tagonist as the Oneida Chieftain. The
Star believes that four-fifths of the
New York Kepubl leans belong to the
"stalwart" branch, and would prefer
the nomination of Grant to the nomina
tion of Blaine. The Senator would start
off in such a struggle, therefore, with
nearly the entire strength of the party
at his back, and tho "men milliners"
would oouie out of it as inglorionsly as
they have always done whenever Conk
ling entered heartily into tbe fight It
ought to be distinctly understood that
he is tho "Boas." Facts indisputably
establish his claim to that decision,
and if Fenton, Blaine and Curtis are
in any doubt upon the subject, they
have only to go forward with their
movement to create a diversion in New
Yerk State in favor of the Maine Sen
ator and they will have all thwir doubt
reduced to a demonstration. Grant
was as corrupt a Chief Magistrate a"
ever disgraced tho annals of a free
eountry, but his name evokes all the
eclat that goes with pre eminent ictoeas
and lustrous military renown.andfho is

At the last election in New York
City, Johnny Davenport, the infamous
Radical United States Supervisor of
Elections, seized the naturalization pa
pers of thousands of adopted citizens,
whose naturalut&tien occurred in 1868,
refused registration to all of them who
were Democrats, and put hundreds of
them in prison. In one of these eases,
brought before the United Circuit
Court, Judge Blatchford has decided
that the naturalization papers were
legal and sufficient, that the citizen was
unjustly deprived of his vote, and that
the proceedings of Davenport were
without color or law. The decision
can give the disfranchised and outraged
voters no redress, however. . Tho right
to vote was wrested from thorn, and the
scoundrel who committed the villainy
cannot be adequately punished. This
is one meana of Radical bull-dozing

Should our mines not fall off in their
yield, we will have, in the next twelve
years, at least one thousand millions of
dollars in gold and silver in the ooun
try. At present, imports and exports
of treasure are about equal, and if this
state of things continues, we will have,
in fifteen yean, after making a liberal
allowance for the art, ete., enongb to
coin gold andsilvermoney to that
amount We can issue legal tender
notes to the same amount against it, or
rather sufficient with those at present
afloat to make up th amount. This
would give us a currency of two hun
dred thousand millions of dollars the
greatest in the werld. Under such cir
cumstances, the Government would of
necessity become a banker, and a na
tional banking system would be inaug
urated, under which taxes would be
lightened, as the banking pronto would
in a great measure take their place.
