tip One D. S. Koon, a-one-horse Jaw- 1
yer at Scranton, Pa., has - been trying to
nin some cheap honors before the .Covotte
Committee. A few weeks ago he inform
ed Mr. Winslow, a democratic member of
that Committee, that the, overwhelming
majority of Col. Scranton for
. COngress
from that.Distriet was brought about by
bribes.; whereupon Mr. Winslewsoteited
the Committee to make an order.'
alarp number .of- witnesses at'i
largeexpense. The Committee declinedi i
and Mr. - Winslow made his detnand'ie . ,
the House 'which . was granted - , - and the
witnesses summoned and examined, and
nothing being proved by their testimony
but the most flattering end.orseinent of
Col: Scranton, the case was disoharged
and the Committee unanimously ordered
that Mr. Koon should not receive 'either
mileage or fees, regarding his conduet as
au attempt at extortion. Mr. Scranton,
however, very generously directed his re
turning expenses paid, notwithstanding
his base aspersions. All the other wit
nesses were discharged and paid.
This experiment has cost about $1,000. 1
When Mr. Covode protested against call-I
ing witneses without specific inforiee-1
ion, Mr. Winslow.appealed to the House, I
and obtained the. order, and Democratic
papers alleged there was a design to ex.. l
elude evidence involving • their own
friends. Tbcse disclosure's vindicate llr.
Covode completely, and put the.Detime.
racy in an embarrassing Predicament. — .
,Among the papers filed before the Co

the false charges against Scranton; re-I

At a subsequent hour, 'three others
called, halting in the passage-way, and
sent up word that they wished to see him
alone. They, refused the' invitation to
enter his room—where Mr. Suniner was
surrounded by friends—and left, sending
a thieatening, message by the servant
that they would come with a force to
-assault hitwat 10 o'clock' • this moraine,
when Mr. Sumner's frienchsi were again
present. In view of these occurrences.
Some of thein acbompanied him from his
residence to the Senate to-day, apprehen
sive of personal violence. They are de--
terthined to exercise watchfulness and
piecaution. The attention of the Chief
of Police has been• called to the subject.
