The Bette: investigation absorbs the gop-
cral interest now, although at this stage 9f
. -thc Session all the most important, *Inatteis
before Congress lire. recciving final action.
The total and i gnominious defeat lof- Fernadeo
WOoIl‘s Tariff Bill, upon which there has
been more worry, labor and down right lying
done than on any measure before this Con-
gress, was the most important legislative
event of the week. Fernando had been 'ad-
moaished by his friends on the committee '
that to save it he should ask to have it “put
over” till next December, but he bartcred,
b.1rgained l'lld intrigued all over the House,
with about every state delegation, that up to
the last moment he was sure of the success Of
his pet measure. His overwhelming defeat
was a stunning and mortifying blow to New
York’s over-confident apostle of Free Trade.
Judge Kelly yesterday made a very severe
and damaging arraignment of Wood for
foisting ii his prinicl speech, what he had
not uttered on the floor of the House and
.‘Wh'lch [matter Kelly showed to be both
false and malicious. The judge should have
remembered that something was due to the
natural state of mind a proud leader like
Fernando must have been in, when he found
at last, that instead of himself cheating every
business interest that had sought to enlighten
him and secure his fair action on this bill—
he was the one who at the end had been most
fatally befooled and chea‘cd.
SENATOR EDMUNDS, .
with that naive sagacity for which he is
famous, when the House Bill appropriated
$20,000 to cover expenses of Potter’s House
investigation, moved an additional appropria-
tion of $20,000 to enable the Senate to inves-
ti gate also, should Potter’s one-sided affair
assume a too boldly partizan aspect. The
money may not be used, but the fact it can
be will serve as a standing menance to Potter
to keep somewhere within gun-shot of fair
play. ,. =
ANDERSON.
Poor Potter is mortified beyond patience at
the bad showing made by his main witness,
» Anderson. The scamp’s admissions are so
rascally, that no reliance can be placed on his
testimony'except in' so far as it is otherwise
corroborated. . Potter is an extra high-toned
and proud-spirited man. What the “rag-tag"
of the democracy denominate “a silk stock-
ing and milled shirt democrat.” He is a son
of Bishop Potter and worthiiy and hotly
ambitious of heinngovernor of New York.
He is sick with nausea of his witness Ander-
son aud impatiently anxious to drop the little
sorrel pest, but the Republicans will not help
him to “let go” and he still has him anchored
to him, while Republicans are in a roar over
his undisguised discomfiture. By far the
most damaging testimony yet elicited Is that
of Judge Levisee, who was a Hayes Elector
in Louisiana. He is a man of high character
and his word accepted by honorable men of
all parties, who have ever known him. He
testifies to the damaging fact against the Re.
publican managers in his state, that his name,
certifying to the returns Of Louisiana, was
forged, to the last certificate of the proceed-
ings of the Electoral College. This fact was
published a month or'morc ago and the ex;
pianation then given was that the first certi-
ficate was signed by all the Electors in due
form, due time, and with due observance of
all the requirements of law, was brought to
Washington by Colonel Tom Anderson, the
legally appointed messenger 30f the College,
who was instructed to deliver it to Mr. Ferry
as the law provides. Before Colonel~ Ander
son delivered it, however, and before the
other copy of it had been sent by mail, or
had reached Mr. Ferry, it was discovered
that it contained some technical irregularities,
clerical errors, or something of the kind, not
of such a serious character as to vitiate them;
but sufficient to give the Democrats a pretext
for an attempt to throw the State out in the
final count. The Republican managers in
Washington, including the late Senator Mor-
ton, decided to send this original and inaccu-
rate certificate back to New Orleans for cor-
rection. This correction was made as quick-
ly, as possible and amounted in fact to the
making out of a new set of certificates. This
new set was then signed by all of the Elec-
tors who could be reached in New Orleans ;
but Messrs. Levisee and J oflerion could not
he reached, and their names were signed by
other parties. This corrected certificate was
then sent to Mr. Ferry. It represented that
all of the Electors had voted for Hayes and
Wheeler, including Levisee and Joerrion,
which representation was a fact. It should
he understood, however, that this second or
forged batch of certificates were not the ones
upon which the Electoral Commission based
its action. The original certificate, all of the
signatures to which were bona file, was the
one sent to the Commission and used in the
Presidential count.
The Democrats were of course in high
glee over this rediscovered irregularity, be-
cause they were sadly in need of the smallest
grains of comfort. .But judge of their dc-
moralization and disgust when Judge Levisec
went on to testify that the Tilden managers
had offered him a bribe of $100,000 to refuse
to cast his vote for Hayes in the Electoral
College, thus giving the presidency to Tilden ! -
Thus were poor Potter and his committee
again “hoist by their own petard." It is an
interesting fact that the last letter written
by D. 'A. Weber before his death asserted
most positively his belief that the Feliciana
parishes were rightfully thrown out in the
canvass of Louisiana, because of Democratic
intimidation. Three days after it was
written he was killed by the :bull-dozing
“Regulators." Now comes Anderson. the
pcrj urcr and forger, to villify his memory
and use his name and signature tobolster up
the unholy cause of his murderers.
SENATOR MATTIIIWS
arose in his seat in. the Senate and asked for
a special committee to investigate the charges
made against him by the witness Anderson.
He denied ever having promised aid to
Anderson because of any wrong doing in aid
of Mr. Hayes, and said further : “I assert
upon my honor as a Senator, which Ilam pre-
pared tozmaintain upon my oath, that I do not
know and never have believed that any such .
frauds were in fact ever committed."
Alexander H. Stephens was interviewed
yesterday as to his views concerning Mont-
gomery Blair’szconfidcntlbelief that this inves-
tigation is certain to result in the overthrow
of Hayes arfi the inauguration of Tilden for
the unexpired term, but the Georgia Patriot
emphatically said: “It discloses just what I
thought from the beginning was the danger
with the projectors of this investigation: It
shows very clearly what it will most probably
lend to. I was perfectly satisfied from the
beginning that there were great frauds in the
returns of the electoral votes of Florida and
Louisiana; but as there was no act Of Con-
gress regulating the mode of settling a dis-
puted Presidential election and as we seemed
to be on the eve Of a civil war, I thought the
proposition for a high commission was not
only constitutional but highly patriotic. I
therefore, though confined on a sick bed at
the time, gave that measure my cordial ap-
proval. I was greatly disappointed at the
result; but a large majority of the people of
the United States and the Democracy- were
fully committed to that mode of settling the
question. I urged them not to obstruct the
execution of the decision of the commission
by fillibustering to prevent the count.”
As to turning Hayes out of office, “I feel
quite sure that an overwhelming majority of
the Democraticparty of the United States
had no s’uchintentz‘ons at the beginning of this
movement. I think Mr. Blair's suggestions
are exceedingly unwise, and hence my great
anxiety to have it expressly declared in the
“‘InVOstigation Resolution” that the inquiry
should not be made with any view to unseat
tinglia spark nifyijc kindled, which may
start a conflagratlon that no man can arrest.
«My opinion now is that Every large nwjorfty
of the Dormer-ate of the House are at this time
totally opposed to turning Hayes out and put-
ting Tilden in ; still how many of them may
remain as they are on this question time alone
can WW.” I
Mr. Acklen, of Louisiana, yesterday ex-
pressed reasonable, fairs that ‘thc investiga-
tion will ggaaually grouse the feeling of party
strife in thé'iiOuntI-y, as the ’tw‘o 'partIies res-
peCtively gain or lose advantage in Its pro-
gress, to the extreme Of actual revolution.
The end can only be, Mr. .Acklen fears, a re-
newal of civil instead of merepartizan strife.
- ' ~MORE DENQORATIC ECONoIIIIv.
The deficiency apprOpriation proposal for
the Post Office department is entirely inade-
quate. It appears that the department has
been authorized by the variousjappropriation
bills to expend $34,103,143, to meet ‘which
the sum of $3,453,725 has been appropriated
out of the general treasury, leaving a balance'
of $30,649,418 to be supplied from the postal
revenues. The difference between the prob-
able revenues and this amount will give the
probable deficit. The revenues for the six
months ending on the 3lst of last December
$4,253,315.45.
for the entire fiscal year would be $28,506,-
630.90, leaving $2,142,787.10 to be supplied
in some-way, and for which a further appro-
priation from the Treasury is asked. The
deficiency hill just reported appropriates for
this purpose $550,000, or something over a
quarter of the necessary amount. It is im-
possible that the receipts ot the last six 0ch
the first six months of the year should be $1,-
_ 5 2,787.10, which, in addition to the propos-
deficiency appropriation, will be the sum
required to enable the department to cover
the amounts which it has been authorized to
expend.
TEE ARMY APPROPRIATION BILL. .
The Senate committee on appropriation8
has struck out of the army bill the House
provisions reducing the force to twenty
thousand men and reorganizing the army, as
well as the clause prohibiting the use of any
portion as a posse comitatus. The transfer
of Indian affairs to the War department was
agreed to by a vote of seven against two.
Ex-SOLDIERS IN THE POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT.
The Post Ofiice department has prepared
its answer to the inquiry of the House as to
the number of its employee who were honor
ably discharged from service in the army
and navy of the United States, and it appears
that of the 308 male officials, messengers,
laborers etc, connected with the department,
111 are of this class.
PATENT OErIcE. -
The Star says the continued failure of the
House to appropriate for a roof over the
Patent Ofllce Building—burned nearly a year
ago—amounts to a National disgrace. Sec-
retary Schurz has written Speaker Randall
three times imploring attention to this neces-
sity for preserving the fine marble walls of
this building from injury by the action of the
weather, but all to no purpose. No patents
can be issued either, because there is no money
appropriated to print specifications and the
public printer is by law forbidden to do any,
printing for any department of the govern-
ment without the pay on ,delivery of the
work. ,
TuE BANKRUP'I‘ LAw REPEALED.
The President yesterday approved the not
entitled “An act to repeal the bankrupt law."
MISS KATE SPRAGUE IN COURT.
Yesterday in the circuit court, Judge Hum-
phreys, the case of Spraguc agt. Welch was
called, and the trial proceeded. Mrs. Kate
'Sprague, daughter of the late Chief Justice
Chase, sues Welch for the possession of the
farm at Edgewood. This is the case inwhich
Senator Conkling appeared as counsel for
Mrs. Sprague, and which has given rise to a
great deal of impertinent gossip. The fair
client won her case and her uncomfortable
and obduratc tenant is forced to abdicate.
CINCINNATI'S POSTMASTER IN TROUBLE.
'John 1’. Logo, postmaster at Cincinnati,
has been sued by a Mr. Joseph J. Crane, who
claims $20,000 damages on account of the
defendant’s intimacy with his (Cranc's) wife,
Postmaster Loge assures the department of
his ability to disprove the scandal.
SENATE RESOLUTION FOR INVESTIGATION or
ELECTORAL rRAuns.
Senator Spencer introduced a resolution in
the senate today for the appointment of a
special committee, to consist of eight sena-
tors, tO investigate alleged frauds in the last
Presidential election in the states of Alabama;
Mississippi, 'Louisiana, Florida, South Caro.
line and Oregon, and any other states ‘where
it is alleged frauds were committed. The
resolution went over for one day, under Ob
jection, tobc printed. It is said that the
idea in proposing a committee of eight Sena-
tors, is to have four of each political party.
INrOETA-NT NOMINATIONS.
The President sent the following nomina-
tions to the Senate today; John C. Fremont,
of New York, to be governor of Arizona;

Jones Of Florida.
r. M. FOR NOEWALE.
The President has sent in the name of
Charles Olmstead, re-appointed Post Master

at the department, and perhaps the fact that
our worthy P. M. has never had a competitor
for the office is the very best endorsement
he could have or desire. ‘ '

the new time-table went into Operation, and
these cars are now running in charge of the

in to-day’s paper. The frequency of trips
will be sure to please the public. We regret
that the change necessitates the discharge of
two conductors who have been long in the

Gen. Grant in discussing the relative
Strength of the Union and rebel forces du-
ring tho .war, is reported to have given utter-
ance to the following truthful. but too easily
forgotten embarrassments endured by the
loyal side!
“ We had to send troops to suppress riots
in New York; we had enemies in ourmidst.
'In every northern state there was a strong
party against the war; always rejoicing over
disaster, always voting to paralyze our forces
—ready for any concession or surrender.
This party was strong in every state—strong
enough to carry states like Indiana, Pennsyl-
vania and New York during the war. Noth.
ing but Morton’s courage saved it from mak-
ing Indiana a rebel state, like Kentucky. This
was the party that voted the war was a fail-
ure at the time Sherman was setting out on
his, march to the sea, at the very time when
that great general and his great army were
about to cover our arms with imperishablc
renown. You can imagine the effect such a
resolution must have had upon the enthusiasm
of an army, for it is a mistake to imagine that
such things did not affect an army."

The German government is taking strin-
gent measures against the socialists. It
would be strange if it were Otherwise, and at
present the efforts at suppression will have a
strong popular backing. If the German
parliament is dissolved the general indigna-
tion at the attempts to assassinate the
Emperor will probably result in the return Of
a new parliament which will be much more
subserviem to the imperial desires than the
present. The socialism have only themselves

PARIS Expnurfinr RESTAURANTS.—Mr.
Smalley writes to the New York Tribune:
A young man from the country, attracted
like Others by the exhibition, applied the
other day at a scrvants’ agency for a berth as
garcon in a restaurant. He was told there
were vacancies in one of the exhibition cafes.
Inquiring about wages, he learned that the
proprietor receives wages from his servants,
instead of paying them. He could have the
place on condition Of paying to the owner
twelve francs—$2.40—cvery morning before
the doors opened to the public. That cere-
mony performed, the waiter was at liberty to
put into his own pocket all gratuities received
from the customers be served. I believe he
had two meals ' y beside, and he must cal-
culate on gettin,3 ghtecn or twenty francs
a day at least, in pourpoirea to give him
decent wages after his employer’s tax has
been paid. . ‘ '
This shows on what expectations the res-
taurant keepers have set up their establish-
ments. As there are but four, an absurdly
small number, within the whole building,
the owners may very likely profit by the dis-
corIIIIIrorts as well as by the needs of the
pu to.
I heard to-day of three friends who, after
hunting in vain for an empty table, finally
‘took their station near one where three other
men. who seemed -to have finished their
breakfast, were seated. They waited and
waited. Presently one, bolder than the rest,
ventured to hint to the three who remained
immovable, that if they :had really had their
own breakfast, the new comers would like a
chance. The answer was that they had been
sittin there half an hour in the hope of being
serve , and had not yet had a mouthful.
An American naval Ofilcer told me there
were two restaurants at one end of the build-
ing, to one of which he went when he was
not hungry and to the other when he was,
which must pass as a doubtful compliment
to either. At present, the inside cafes rare
closcd~when the outer doors are closed, and
the visrtor who hassmade his arrangements
.to dine 'at the exhibition will be likely to go
away hungcring.

St.‘Mary’s Church is agaiIncallcd to mourn
' Rev. Patrick J.
aged 40 years. His health had been some-
what lmpaired for years, and during his
ministry here he labored under the: pressure
of disease. About. three . weeks ago
he was confined to the house, but
on Sunday, May 26th, the last
day of the Mission, he ventured into the
church but did not take part in the services.
During last week he failed rapidly, and died
between six and seven o’clock, on Friday
night, his disease being a complication of ma-
larial fcvcr, rheumatism, the. His sister and
a niece lived with him, and he had, it is
said, another sister and a brother living in
this State.
Rev. 1’. J. O’Dwycr was born in the county
of Tipperary, Ireland, in the year 1829. He
was educated for the priesthood in All Hal-
lows College, near the city of Dublin, and
was ordained in November, 1853. In the
following January, in company with the late
Rev. P. A. Smith, former pastor of St.
Mary’s church, he embarked for America
and went to Providence as assistant, where
he remained for a period Of three years; he
Was then transferred from Providence to‘
Collinsville 'as parish priest, where he re-
maincd about five years. In 1860 he was
again sent to Providence as chancellor to the
Bishop, which position he held for five years.
In 1805 he was assigned to the parish of Bir-
mingham and Ansonia, shortly after which
time the‘parish was divided, be taking An-
sonia, remaining there until January. On
the 12th day of January, 1876, he 'rcad his
first mass as parish priest in Norwalk, as
successor to the much’ lamented Father
Smith. . . ‘
It was announced Sunday morning at mass
that- the body would be brought into the
church at three o’clock P. M., where it would
remain lying in state until'after the public
services on Monday morning, after which the
remains would be taken to,Ansonia,where they
would remain in the church until 10:30 Tues-
day, when a high mass of requiem would be
said for the repose of his soul, immediately
after which the body would be borne to its
last resting place.
Long before the appointed time for the ser-
vice, Sunday P. M, the church was filled
with members of the congregation and
during the remainder of the afternoon until
late at night crowds were continually pass-
ing in and out, to see the remains.

A short and impressive sermon was deliv-
ered by the Rev. Lawrence Walsh, of Wa-
terbury, from the text 2d Timothy, 4-7-8:
“I have fought a good fight,“ have finished
the course, I have kept the faith.
“Henccforth there is laid up for me a
crown of righteousness which the Lord, the
righteous judge. shall give me at that day;
and not to me only, but unto all them also
that love his appearing.”
The singing of the choir was not up to its
usual standard, though Miss: Orlich presided
at the organ and displayed much skill and
taste through Lejcal's mass; “Angels ever
bright and. fair,”iby Handel, was rendered
quite acceptably bylMiss Wallace.
After the conclusion of the ceremonies,
the congregation passed down the side aisle
and looked upon the face of their beloved-
pastor for the last time, while St. Peter's
choir of Danbury, with good taste rendered
“Rest, Spirit, Rest,”, from the Opera of
Amilie. The singing was the best that has
been heard in Norwalk for some time. The
choir was composed as follows: Prof. Wil-
son, Tenor; J. P. Walsh, Bass; Mrs. Meath’
1st Soprano; Miss Nelvin, 2d Soprano; Miss
Lynch, Alto; Miss Hendic, Organist.
A handsome standing crown of flowers was
presented by the choir; a large cross by the
Children of Mary; a handsome wreath with
the words "Good-Bye Father," set in the
center, by Miss Mamie A. Kcena, and several
bouquets by different members of the con-
gregation.

Catafalque upon which it had been resting
and placed in a handsome silk velvct casket,
upholstered with white satin ,On the entire
inside and lid and mounted by silverside
bar handles running the entire J length, ’_ silver
knobs, and a'cros‘s plate with age and name.
’ At 3- o’clock the body was taken from the

passed OH in a very creditable manner to
teachers and their scholars. After the ex-
ercises strawberries and ice cream were
passed to the children and entire audience,
and a half hour was spent very pleasantly

The law and order, the enforcement of the
no license law and temperance movement
which was inaugurated in this city, last
Wednesday night, 27th ult, and held in Mu-
sic Hall, has gained in strength day by day
until it is now the all-absorbing topic with
our citizens, more so than the Potter investi-
gation or the “great sewer question” which is
agitating the minds of our people. The Rev.
Mr. Boole and the committee who started
this movement in our city deserve the sup-
port and ought to have the hearty co-operao
tion of all lovers of law and order and tem-
perance,for undoubtedly a vast amount of
good has been and will be accomplished. On
Sunday afternoon, Monday and Tuesday eve-
nings, Mr. Geo.'B. Graves, areformed drunk-
ard from Waterbury, Spoke to the meeting.
Sunday afternoon he spoke to Christians urg-
ing them to come forward and take part in
this work, and used some very strOng and
forcible arguments why they should do so.
On Monday evening he spoke to the working-
mcn. He commenced by saying he was a
workilgman. and gave a sketch of his life
He told how he had taken his first glass, and
from that became a confirmed drunkard, and
the suffering be caused his family, and bow
at last he had been saved through the mercy
of God, and wound up by asking them to
come forward and sign the pledge, and a
large number did so. Tuesday evening Mr.
Graves' speech was the same in substance as
the previous evening—a large number also
signing the pledge on that evening. On
Wednesday evening three reformed men from
Mcriden spoke—one a formerly notorious
rum seller, and gave accounts of their slavery
to ram and their happy deliverance. On
this evening Mr. Boole read an ordinance
that he had drawn up and if it was the con-
sent of the people it would go before the
board of councilmen to be passed as a law if
that board saw fit. He said he would read it
again Thursday evening, and Friday evening
it would be put to a vote. The ordinance re-
quests the mayor to appoint policemen to ar-
rest any persons violating the Ito-license law,
and arrest owners or keepers of liquors- in-
tended to be sold in violation of the law, and
report the number of arrest made during each
month for drunkenness, names, residences,
etc. The ordinance was received with loud
applause by the audience. Thursday even-
ing the announcement that Mr. Boole would
speak, filled the house to its utmost capacity
and for nearly two hours he held his audience
to the closest attention and used such forci-
ble arguments that he convinced many of the
curse Of rum. Friday evening Rev. Mr.Platt,
Of Ridgefield, was announced as the speaker
of the evening, and his speech was one of
bitter opposition to the selling and using of
liquor. After Mr. Platt, Mr. Boole, after a
few remarks, said he would put the resolution
which had been read the two previous even-
ings, to a vote before the people for rejection
or acceptance, and he asked those who were
in favor of it to rise to their feet. Nearly
the entire audience arose. Then he asked
"the Opposition to rise and therewas not one
against it. Mr D. Disbrow, Mr. C. Knudsen
and Mr. Boole were appointed a committee to
carry it before the board of councilmen. Mr.
Boole said that these temperance meetings
would be continued every Sunday afternoon
until further notice, and requested all those
in favor of the organization of a branch to
the society called the Connecticut Temper-
ance Corps, to meet in Military Hall,Monday
evening.

—Albany Evening Journal
at least of what took place after the election ;
but it manifests no little trepidation at the
suggestion that the doings of the democracy
in Connecticut and other northern states be
looked into. It protests day after day that
there was nothing wrong about the voting in
Connecticut, but everybody now knows that
the democrats of this state have for years
been in the habit of cheating at the polls.
They have bands of men in all the larger
cities skilled in the business of stufiing ballot
boxes and pcrsonating voters, and to such an
extent has the business been carried that it is
doubtful if they have in the last five years
carried Connecticut by an honest majority.
The time has now gone by for unearthing the
frauds of 1870, but. the republicans of the
First district have no doubt that General
Hawley was beaten by fraud. Since that
election, circumstances have placed the re-
publicans in possession of the knowledge of
how Democratic frauds are perpetrated, and
it will be their own fault if they suffer from
a repetition of the process. The game is not
confined to Hartford. It is carried on all
over the state and has been for years, and
calls for the utmost vigilance at the polls.
Our own belief is that more than ten per
cent. Of the Democratic vote in the state is
habitually fraudulent, and that in some of
the larger towns the per ccntagc is even
greater. The vigor with which the Demo-
cratic leaders fight every proposal to make
false voting more difficult shows that they
are aware that anything that compels an hon-
est poll must damage their party. They
have profited by the frauds they have incited
their reckless follovfers to commit, and it re-
quires sublime effrontery for them to raise a
cry against the honesty of their opponents.
