The Blaine investigation brings out
some facta npon republican frauds and
violence in South Carolina, which that
can smoke iu his pipe.
At Charleston on 27, State Senator
Maurice testified to the lakewarmnees
and divisions of the republicans in
Williamsburg, and to the genera, .a i
character of Swails, the Republican
leader; it was in consequence of Swarl's
threats that he was notified that he
would be held responsible for any
bloodshed or honseburaing. and that he
had better leave the country.
Circuit Solicitor Hirscb, a republican
until 1577, said that he had investigated
by G veraor Hampton's direction, ths
different charges made by Swaiia, and
found that the White Oak meeting was
not held to advocate Mr. Rainey's elec
tion ; that Swails was not arrested by
the Red Shirts and that no threats |haJ
been made against Swails except that he
would be held to account for any blood
shed or incendiarism.
Jack FVps, a colored preacher, testifi
ed that he abstained from voting at the
election, and is. in consequence, debar
red by the colored republicans frem
ministering to the Baptist churches he
had regularly served.
J. B. Chandler (white) testified that
armed negroes surrounded the Cedar
<amp precinct, saying the ballots
should not be completed.
Similar testimony was given by both
white t.nd colored witnesses in relation
to the canvass in Richland county. Ed
ward Terry, printer, of Charieeton, was
put on the stand. He swore that the
issue printed 10,000 republican tickets
for F. W. M. Mackey, the republican
candidate for Congress at the last elec-
The epidemic is spreading in eastern
Russia. The St. Petersburg Golas of 27
ult, states that the plague has made ita
appearance at a hamlet thirty-four miles
from Wetlioniki. Considerable alarm
has been cansed in Moscow by the news
ieaking out that a number of recruits of
the imperial army arrived in that city
on the 13th of January from the infect
ed district. The racruita were met by
doctors, were disinfected and isolated.
Their clothing was burned, and it is bet
lieved the '.anger of Infection from them
is over.
We observe tbat Gen. Beaver is mak
ing himself pretty numerous in differ
ent parts of the state —not setting pins
for the governorship, four years hence,
no. If a rad must succeed Hoyt, (which
the good Ixird forbid) wby be the
General, by all means.
Col. tjuay, who ia now lloyt's Sec'y of
the Commonwealth, has also got his eye
on the next governorship. As <duay is
one of the chief managers of the radical
riDg, we fear Gen. Beaver will not be up
to tricks enough to circumvent Quay.
Tbeu, too, tfuay ia a favorite of the
Camerons, and that may count big for
the Beaver county man. So you see if
Beaver want # to be governor he must
look a little out."
The New York Sun of 30 ult., mentions
the death of a priest at a wedding. It
says: In St. Francis Xavier's Romai
Catholic Church last evening, a large
company had gathered to see united a
marriage Charles Brennan, a son of
Owen W. Brennan, and nephew of the
late ex-Sheriff Matthew T. Brennan,
-with Misa. Meta Peetecb,' daughter of
Henry Peetsch, a wealthy tobacconist,
living in Fast Eighteenth street. The
marriage ceremony waa to have been
celebrated on Wednesday evening laat
but the sickness and death of the bride
groom's uncle prevented. Ihe Lev.
Father Alphonsns Pelletier and the
Rev. Father David Merrick, the pa*tor
of St. Francis Xavier's, were standing in
front of the altar when Mr. Brennan
and Miss I'letsch and their two brides
maids and two groomsmen walked up
the airle. They were greeted by Father
Pelletier, who began a brief discourse
on the solemnity of the marriage sa'-ra
ment. Without warning and as he was
Baying. "You must give up father and
m ither," he tottered forwardjand fell
be'ween the bride and the groom, utter
ed one groan and was still.
The ceremony was taken up by an
other priest where it had been broken
off, and finished.

The Totter committee began the in
vestigation of the cipher telegrams to
day and promptly developed some un
portent ami damaging testimony against
the Hapnblioan management ol the earn
paign of lS7t, being no more not le*
than the charge that the money of th>
public Treasury was used to insure the
auccma of the Republican ticket in lit
disns at the election of that tear lb

by the aharp cross-examination bv M•
McMahon of Mr. brren, u( the Western

brief history st fir-t of the wu\ lbs ci
pher telegrams became public through
the collusion of one Bullock, then the
messenger oftlie Morton c mmtttee o'
the Senate, now t'ousul to t'ologne. H
gave copies of them first to t'ongrer-nan
Evans, of Indiana, who gave them to
Second Assistant Postmaster uener*
Brady, who turue.l them over to ilener
al Hollar, who gave them, it is supposed,
to William K. Chandler, who secured
their translation, in* believed,and their
publication. In the course of the tysti
uionv it came out that the late Presi
deut Orion, of the Western I nion, gave
an order to Mr. lireen to destroy cer
tain telegrams which jut.-sed between
ths then Postmaster-tieneral, Ivncr,
and the then Secretary of the Interior,
Zaoh Chandler, aceompanied by instruc
tions to also burn the order. Mr.Ciieen
savs that three telegrams, which he read
before burning, then passed between
Indianapolis and Washington, M r .
Tyner being in Indianapolis and Mr.
Chandler in Washington. Ihe former
requested the latter to appoint two per
sons to positions under the Govern
ment, wlnwe names Mr. Green could
uol recollect, at salaries of $2,5G' each,
and to appropriate the wkole amount of
the same for immediate use in the pres
sing necessities of the Republican cam
paign in ladiaua, Mr, Chandler repli
ed, a* Chairman of the Republican t otn
nuttee and a Secretary of the Intetior,
that it had been done and that the
monev had besn deposited in liank
Mr. Green is clear iu his recollection of
the correspondence, which was impress
ed upon his memory by the order of
Mr. Ortom to born it and then to des
troy the order, which he did. Ihe ob
ject of this was. of course, to prevent any
revelation of the me of Government
money by the Republican managers be
fore any invesngati n at Washington.
The testimony has created a pr found
sensation, and gives a new and im;or
tant interest to the Potter committee.
The additional evidence indicates that
all of the important Republican tele
grams have been destroyed. It was also
shown that the telegrams received by
the Morris >n committee were duly re
turned, and that he h>! is a receipt ■ r
the schedule of the ame.
The Herald's -pe. ial savs: It is alto
gether a very disgraceful story, and it
shows clearlv that the republicans kC
every opportunity to pick out and take
awav any despatches which any of them
remembered a* compromising them or
the party. When it is remembered that
Bullock, a mere messenger to a commit
tee, an obscure person, received the gift
of an important consulate for no reason
that can be imagine 1 or has been stated
except that he passed the damaging ci
pher despatches from the committee
room into the hands of persons ab.e
when they got them to make public use
'of them, but who could not afford to be
charged with taking them themselves,
the natural suspicion arises that there
were important persons before Bullock
is well as behind him. aad tbst he. who
served merely as an ob# ure go between
was put out of the way in Germany, to
secure liis silence. With ail the dis
patches compromising republicans out
of the way, and all the persons concern
ed in disreputable election transaction*
in the three Southern States rewarded
with public offices, it is easy to see that
the republican managers might well
think their proceedings safe against dis
closure.
Brady who, aa Assistant Postmaster
Geaeral, ought to have bad a strong
sense of the eacredness of private corres
pondence, seems to have thought noth
ing of opening, looking over and taking
away telegraphic despatches. Ilia con
fession will certainly check the scLeme.'-
to run the telegraphs by government
employes.
Mr. Chandler related that he, Mr.
Hale, Brady and others heid u consulta
tion as to the disposal of the stolen des
patches, and finally concluded to put
them in General Butler's possession,
and that is for the present the end of the
mystery.

THE SE AT ( oy(;RE\S.
Everybody appears to understand
that the next or Forty-sixth < engross is
a democratic bo.lv, but few understand
exactly how it stands. The New York
Tribune has been figuring on it, and
classifies the members-elect of the For
ty-sixth Congress, politically, a* follows
democrats, 147; Republicans, 12*: dem
ocratic national, 7; Republican nation
. als, V Nationals. 2; to be elected from
California, !. From thi* classification,
it is seen that if all the Nationals should
act witli the Republicans and the four
California members should l>e Republi
cans also, the democrats would still hold
a majority in the House, which is com
posed of J l '".' members, and 117 is a clear
majority of that number. Instead of
, this, however, the Tribune concedes to
the democrats seven of the fourteen Na
. tionals, and most questions it is believ
ed that nearly all of them will act with
the democrats, while we are morally
sure of securing two of tho four mem
bers from California . with a fair pros
pect of electing three, and may possibly
elect four. The demacratic majority in
the House is well assured in any event,
the democrats also holding a majority
in the delegations of nineteen States to
■ the Republicans eighteen, anil one dele
gation to be elected.
The Supreme Court of this State re
cently rendered a decision of much im
portance to the people. The decision is
1 to the effect ttiat tho wife of a man fail-
I iLg in business is entitled to her share
of the estate, the balance gning to the
benefit of the erf ditors, and not all, a

The proceedings of the two ehambers in
congress was opened by M Martell, who

passage of tlie biil suggested an interview
with His Excellency on the subject of the

Kennedy was asked what view would le

' four or five miles from the city prcper.J
and therefore even if water had
available, which it was not, the fire en
gines would have been of little serv.cafij
Fortur.ati-ly for the miserable creatures;

fire occurred in the daytime. Had it oc-|
enrrtd at night Ibis short despatch would

killed by falls while attempting to escape, j

! was also Mr*. Johntoa, who will probably,
die. As old weinan, who was ninety,

her feather hod, hor only property, and]
was burned to death in lha building.
Of course there wa great excitement in
town all day, at the wildest rumor# of t
