William Miller of this city and Col.
J. H. McLaughlin of Detroit, for $500
a side, the entrance money, and the
championship of the world, came off
to-night at tho Academy of Music.
Both men were in splendid condition.
The house was filled, but thero was
little outside betting. Promptly at
8J o'clock the athletes appeared and
began the contest. The first bout con
tinued nn hour without result. In the
second bout they had not clasped hands
more than two minutes before Mc
Laughlin caught up Miller and threw
him upon the stage, but Miller fell on
his face and instantly turned his an
tagonist and pressed both shoulders to
the floor, and a fall was awarded him.
In the third bout, after ten minutes
work, Miller was thrown, but the
referee declared it a foul, McLaughliu
having tripped Miller, which was not
allowed by the rules governing the
mutch. The fourth bout was short and
decisive. Both men showed great
skill, but after twelve minutes the men
were prone on the floor, and Miller,
with his lockneck hold, turned Mc
Laughlin aud gained the fall and the
match. The match lasted one hour
and fifty-five minutes.
- Washington Letter. .
From our regular Correspondent.
Washington, D. C, March 81st.
'Nothing in the way of business has
been done by Congress yet A great
deal of time has been consumed In
trying to deeldejhst what shall be done
and how to do it; meanwhile the Sen
ate has proceeded to get rid of its
Republican officers and elect Demo
crats in their places. There is
some doubt as to whether any general
legislation will be attempted at the
extra session. Tho Democratic jollity
caucus committees have been unable
to agree upon any definit plan, and so
report to each house. Speaker Ran
dall is holding back his committee ap
pointments to prevent any attack
upon general business. But if the
proposed compromise repealing meas
ures are not successful, it is likely that
tho gates will bo opened nnd a long
session entered upon. The Republicans
don t seem to think that the com
promise proposed by the Democrats is
any compromise at all. It repeals the
test oath, prohibits the presence of
troops at polling places on election
days, and does away with deputy
supervisors and marshals, merely
leaving it in the power of United
States courts to nppoint supervisors
for each polling place one of each
political party who arc shorn of all
power, and simply authorized to watcli
the election inspectors. This, the
Democrats .think, is enough to insure
a fair vote and a fair count, but it don't
give one party o lot of paid tools, to
control elections. If tills is not ac
cepted by the Republicans, I am in
clined to believe the session will be
long, as a dead lock is almost certain
to ensure. But if is is agreed to, the
appropriation bills will be speedily
passed, and the session brought to a
close by the first of May, in spite of
the efforts of the Greeiibackers to have
some financial measures brought
forward.
Upon n pedestal in the lower hall of
the Smithsonian Institute stands a
model of the new National Museum,
for the erection of which Congress
recently appropriated $250,000. The
item was stricken out of the bill, once
and supposed to be lost, but it was re
stored at the last moment by the action
of a conference committee. The
money is not available until the 1st of
July, but the certainty of its forth
coming has inspired some preparations
for commencing the work. The idea
of a National Museum was proposed
many years ago by the late Professor
Henry, who, in his annual reports,
continually laid before Congress the
necessary for such a building. When
the Centennial Exposition closed, and
the various foreign governments
donated to the Smithsonian Institute
their exhibits, the want of room in
which to place them revived the
museum question, so that now the
erection of a building, which shall be
worthy of the object, is only a matter
of a very little time. The model
mentioned is" the one which will
doubtless be adopted by the committee
which had the aflair in charge, Gen.
Sherman, Mr Teter Parker, and Prof.
Baird, This committee is now en
gaged in making the final arrange
ments regarding the building. As
cow proposed, the museum will be
situated on the southeast corner of the
Smithsonian grounds, und be three
hundred feet long by three hundred
feet wide, covering an area of two
and one-quarter acres. The style
followed is the Romanesque, to make
it harmonize, as much as possible,
with the Smithsonian. The structure
is to be built of plate iron nnd gks,
and, being only one story higlf; will
resemble greatly the buildings at the
Centennial. It is to contain four halls
of 01 by 62 feet, four halls l:li) by G"j
feet, four halls C3 by .52 feet and one
hull 03 by 65 feet. From the centre
of the building rises the dome, WJ feet
high. Ninety- thousand square feet of
floor space are to bo lit up by 12,000
square - feet of glass, being a better
light than was atl'orded at the Vienna
and Paris expositions. There is to be
a pavilion at each corner of the build
ing, the side walls of which will be 35
feet high, while the walls of the
building proper are 27 feet high. The
fiat roofs are to be covered with metal,
instead of wooden sheathing, laid upon
porous terra cotta, or its equivalent in
fire-proof( quality. The steeper roofs
are to be slated upon iron rafters,
plastered on the inside. It is intended
to expend on the building the whole
of theappropriation,and its completion
will make a beautiful addition to the
architectural structures of the city.

Tho Curtin Contest...
From WllllBtiisport Gu.otte and Bulletin.
McCluro's Times, from a personal
standpoint, is entitled to the highest
commendation for its cncrgclio and
consistent defense of its largest stock
holder, ex-Govertior Curtin, in his con
test for the seat in Congress now occu
pied by Hon. Seth H. Yocuni. The
facts developed, as tho contest pro
gresses, are so damaging to the ex
Governor's case that they afford the
widest field for the display of the
Times' editor's chief talent that of
turning the damning and damaging
proofs against the stranded Curtin,
into argument in his favor.
Jn Saturday's Timet appeared an
article on the now notorious Benner
township election fraud, in Centre
county, which we have before referred
to in theso columns, which censures
Colonel Hastings and Messrs. Furst
and Love, of Mr. Yocum's counsel, for
ofl'ering in evidence, the ballots cast at
that election by the voters of Benner
township. The specific charges made
by the Times is that the ballots were
obtained in a surreptitious manner,
that they were privately examined by
Mr. Yocum's counsel and afterwards
offered in evidence in tho contest case.
This the Times alleges was a great
fraud on the voters of Benner town
ship, and a crime against the sanctity
of the ballot. As this is the one soli
tary election poll in the entire Con
gressional district where r.ny actual
fraud lias been proved, we have been
careful to iuform ourselves fully of the
facts in the case as they have been
proven. These facts not only vindi
cate the gentlemen above named as
Mr. Yocum's counsel, but they show
that ex-Governor Curtin, himself and
his immediate followers, are the per
sons who should purge themselves of
the taint of crime and corruption
which tills Benner township case has
fastened upon them. Before the
spring electiou Mr. Yocum's counsel
presented a petition to the court of
Centre county, asking that a decree be
made to preserve all the ballots cast at
the November election. Tills a parti
sail court refusd to do. That the court
had power to preserve the ballots is
well settled by precedents established
by the courts of Philadelphia, Alle
gheny, Luzerne and other counties.
The courts of all the other counties in
the Twentieth congressional district,
where petitions were presented,
promptly made the order preserving
the ballots. It could hardly bo ex
pected that Governor Curtin's self
acknowledged counsel, sitting on the
bench of the Centre district, would be
foolish enough to damage his own
case, by making an order that would
expose the frauds practiced by his
clients. Mr. Curtin, in his notice of
contest, alleged gross frauds in Benner;
that the ballot box had been stufl'ed,
the count irregular, the ofllcers not
sworn, etc. The court having refused
to preserve the ballots so as to permit
Mr. Yocum's friends to investigate the
charge's, the latter's attorneys caused
u subpueuti dunes tecum to tie served on
the oHicers of the election board, re
quiring them to produce; the ballots
before the commissioner. In obedience
to this subpoena the election oOlcers on
the day of the spring election (Febru
ary lsth) preserved the ballots and
afterwards produced them before the
commissioner, and were offered In evi
dence by Colonel Hastings ami hid as
sociates. Tin's is the great crime and
Indecency on the part of Yocum's
counsel complained of by the Times.
But the true cause of tho Tiun ' indig
nation may be gaihercd from the
proofs furnished by these snme ballots,
and the two Democratic members of
the board, who swore that they took
them from the staled box in exactly
the same condition they were when
deposited tin re on the night of No
vember 5, 1878; that when offered in
evidence they were exactly the same
ns when taken from tho ballot box;
that one hundred and twenty persons
had voted at that election for Mr. Yo
cuni ; that seven ballots counted and
returned for Andrew G. Curtin had
never been polled by legally qualified
voters, but had been placed in the
ballot box after the polls closed by a"
paid Curtin Democrat; that they
were found in the box on the evening
of the election, after the polls closed.
Thirteen other tickets with Andrew
G. Curtin's name printed thereon for
congress, that had never been voted,
numbered, counted or returned by the
board, but had been stuffed into the
box by a Curtin hireling at the time
several members of the board were
temporarily out of the room when the
countiug was being done. These facts
have all been proved more fully than
we have stated them, by two Demo,
cratic members of tho election board.
More than this, the one hundred and
twenty persons who voted for Mr.
Yocum have been severally called be
fore the commissioner, and have sworn
to their legal qualifications as voters,
and that they voted for Yocum. These
facts established by the highest proof
known to the Iaw,vmake Mr. Yocum's
majority in the district twenty instead
of thirteen, as returned by tho board
They also show that the number of
ballots returned by the board for Cur
tin is just seven more than there were
voters in Benner township, after de
ducting those who voted for Yocum
and those who did not vote at all for
Congress. The proof also clearly es
tablishes that twenty fraudulent Cur
tin votes, that had not been numbered
or registered, were found in the ballot
box sixteen of which were thrown
out by the board and that they had
been placed there by a partisan of
Curtin, who for weeks before the elec
tion had been electioneering for him.
We have set forth the facU in regard
to this township with some minuteness
for the reason that this is the only
place in the district where fraud has
becu.uneartb.ed. Instead of censuring
Mr. Yocuiu'h counsel, tho Times
editor, in keeping with the reform
doctrines he so religiously inculcates,
snouiu thank them lor unearthing
this outrage, even if it docs besmirch
his bosom friend and financial backer.
now many other irauos ot a similar
nature might have been brought to
light, had it not been for tho decree of
Curtin'scounsel, sitting in the capacity
of a judge, may never be known.
