GAZETTE PRUTTHfO NUMBER 60 3HEMAH ON THE INVESTIGATION. Secretary Sherman has been iatcryiow-ed rclatue to the pending Potter resolution. He gave it as Ilia opinion, according to tho that tlio real purpose of thD resolution was to manufacturo for ihu. fall Utttiip.tigri irrespective ot the material 'usl'lL lie does not think the proceediDga; and if he was a droca ana a do-nothing, aa the Times intimates, the people of the First Congressional District, would some how get wind or it, and would refuse to support him. But as they have no Inclination to do so, we Judge that they accord him the appreciation ho merits.

The Joseph S. Curtis, of Green Bay.died at his home on Wednesday morning. He was born in Ohio in 1831, and aettled at Green Bay in 1853, and entered the profession of the law. Ho served in tho 12th Wisconsin during the war, and made a soldier. In 18G0, 1371 and 1873, he was a member of the Assembly.

On the authority of Democrat it i3 stated that "at one time he was con sidered a wealthy man, but during the past few yeare mist jrtuoes had overtaken him and hia health finally breaking down, he applied for and obtained the position of clerk; for the committee on revision. When that committee met after the adjournment, Mr. Curtis was not able to perform his du- 93 and resigned the clerkship. The Musical (world, or the American portion or lt-is on tip-toe regarding the mruical festival now being held in Cinehi- The concert is held at the new Music Hall one of tho finest buildings of its kind in iho West. Tho new hall will comfortably seat 4,423 persons, and Tuesday night when tho first concert was there were as many as seven thu- saod persons present, The attendance lrum abroad in Cincinnati Is numbered by the thousands, and despite the pouring raina for the last two days, Music Hall was completely overflowing.

It is reported, eas the Evening W1b- conflie, that Congressmen. Lynda and Bouek, oi this State, are opposed to the scheme for an investigation into tho al leged frauds. They may be opposed, but we notice their noses are held pretty firmly to the stone, aud are compelled lo knuckle down and vote for the Potter resolution. Wfien it comes to such machinations as that ol Potter's, you will find tho Democrats a unit. it .4 been found at-Ion for at uu very imcs.

The statement was simply published by the Gazette. It was made by Randolph Tucker, one of lha ablest Democratic lawyers in this country, when ho gave It as his opinion that unhealing Hayes would not seat Tilden. General Kherman don't believe iu bo much tomfoolery In equipping the army. Ho recommends doing away with tho bayonet, the sergeant's eword, the cartridge-box, bett-plate9, aud kuupsacka and offers as a substitute, a leather pouch, for cartridges, a long-bladcd knife, a rubber blanket, aod a provision sack. In carrying on a war with tho Indians, the General's recom- monendation would prove quite practica'.

The Democrats are still determined to block the wheels of Legislation in Congress-by refusing to transact any public business i til their partisan resolution shall bo adopted without amendment A caucus I was held yesterday in which they decided to finely adhere to their determination not admit any amendment which would Ml. thorns a full and an impartial investigation ot the alleged frauds. The Inter-Ocean contains this editorial )te which is significant: "We learn from the Religlo-Phiiosophical Journal that the spirits are considering Ihe policy of putllDB st0 to materializations, for a time at least. The 'persecution' of materializing mediums i3 given as the reason for this resolution." The New York Herald is the authority for the statement that when General Xee the close of the war visited Washington, General Grant hastened to pay his respects but Lee never returned tbe compliment. But for Lee's action Grant would have teen the immediate friend of the South.

The production of all kinds of coal in the United States, for Uac mar ending, April, is reported at 4,649,001 nearly 3,000,000 less than in 19T0. The total amount of bituminous mineral In the country for the year, is placed at tons against last year. Prof. J. h.

Both houses had very stort sessions to-day, and ad- journed in order to allow members lo at tend the very impressive funeral of Profess- Henry. In the House the Democrats were ablo to ihow 141 members, or sis less than a quorum, but eight of these were paired, so that their was only 133.

Three now Democratic votes in more are expected to-iw or Haturday. It is understood that all pairs espire ou Saturday, but it is doubtful if the Democrats have a quorum I rea then. To'-day was the flret time Stephens has been in the House since the filibuster int. commenced, and iu au Interval between two of the useless roll calls he asked per mission to speak three minutes, but the Democrats yelled him down, and drowned Ileuular order." "Regular orrtnr' nmnt a useless roll call. The little dried-up old man was awmisiag arcmnu nervously tn nia wheeled chair, aud at eTery lapse in the proceedings ha would call on "Mr.

If he cnuld have spoken, Mr. Stephens would haye repudiated ihe whole movement, and it would have been tbe signal for a revolt on tho Democratic aide. There are about thirty Democrats who have no sympathy with their pirty in this scheme.

THE DELAVAN SCANDAL. Madison, May 10, The Board of bailies and Reform are progressing with closed doors on the Delnvan Dear and Dumb Asylum scandal case. Throe deaf and dumb witnesses have been examined thus far, but nothing definite can be ascer- tainad as to what ihe testimony is.

Madison, Muy lu. Tho woll scalp bus iness is assuming in. aomo instances mammoth proportions, In comparison to what was intended under the law giving bounties the State. In a recent case a man in an obscure town in Gruut county applies for bounties, which bo fur aa footed up, amount $800, and ia eipecttd tho sum wi.l reach $1000, the boualy for each scalp being fo. Tha Secretary of State is authorized by law to audit these mts, but he haj no roods from which a detective or any other expenses far from satisfied lhal this claim is free from fraud, and he holds it under advisement.

The Coil at Clerk of Grant county, F. S. Kid, who Conines lo the correctness ol tho account, stands well but ty request of tbe claimant, checks for mourn di imc nouniy are to do mailed n. the clerk. 1 whinh i cause for suspicion, as the hunter may be ignorant, and he must live at a distance from any postnillce in order to bo able to secure ao many wo)T scalps, aad all his business for procuring both the county and Slate bounty li transacted Willi tbat officer.

Tho total amount paid tor wolf bounties last year was $T0-7, of whioh the largest amount to any individual wai 1345, to Lucein Dowey, representing Oil woivon. The pref-ent claim represent something like 300 wolves. The wolf scalp bjnnLy business will donbtlosB bear in vesical ion, It is not possible, is It, that enterprising parties are cultivating wolves in remote parts of the State for the sake of the scalps.

Probably no lore remarkable nroiiiinilnii m-f Re publican institutions hnB como forth for years than the priza-figbter-sanibler-stales-man, John Morrissey, who has just been burisd at Troy, N. Y. When this man came to Congress, a great howl was made in regard to his antecedents, and justly, too.

The belter class of members draw their cloakaubout them, and would not associate with him, but many ol Ihem cauiii to respect him very much more before his term was over, he was found to have some of the characteristics ol true manhood inclosed underneath his rough exterior, and really voted uu umo me greai quesiioas waich came belore Cone-rasa with more than the av-erage Congressman, Ha knew their effect upon the coujfry, But I did not start out tcv write an apology for tha dead prize-fighter, nor to eulogize his character, bat simply to slate some iacts in lu wuiun are uoi gener ally known. When John came to Wash natnn thn member-elect from one of the New York City districts his reception was very cold. His fame had preceded him, and every one. kept aloof. It ia the custom ot Ihe llouee lhat tho retiring memOer shall inlr.xluce the member-elect, but the man whom the ex-gambler succeeded would qbi introduce him He felt that It wa3 disgrace enough to be defeated by euch a competitor.

At vuib lime some one, as a Introduced Morrlssev to General Unmet,) hi nn nrn. leaders of the Democratic pauy. As a 1 the Gambler if Ih'prn li ng could do for him. said Morrsev, "since you men-ion It. 1 Should like to Pot stnrn.rl rlrM here.

I'm not much used to it, and I don't want to make no mistake. If you will introduce mo jou will do me a great favor, for I do't want to bo laughed al." The General says that lie at first thought he would not introduce tha es-gambier, but after thinking tho matter over for a moment, he made up his mind that there could bo no harm iu it. Mornssey had been decided elected, nothing in regard to his past life, he now cer-lalnly bad the ngliisoi' a member ot the House, and so compiled with ihe request. The General, in referring to the subject afterwards, said that he must confess mat be felt somewhat ashamed to march down to the clerk's desk in ihe gambler's company, but he did bo without any apparent compunctions of conscience. After this, lime passed on and nothing more was thought of the introduction af tbe new member, uuiil one day when Mdt- rissey met the General by chance and be-Ean the conversation as follows: tb General, ycu done me a great falor bj introducing me at the beginning, and 1 chance sometime to pay it bank.

You see seo people would of laughed ao because It was me. The man who went out of this place used me mighty shabby, and" 1 shall that. He will never get another office so long as John Monissey The General told htm thut ho flt ho hofl simply done a thing of courtesy between "You see I bought my nomination. There is no secret about that but some wonder how I elented will tell They wanted my money, and I wanted the office. You see.

I concluded that I nuclit to have somelhlng pretty good by way of for me. but I qmetiy paidthem ISJ5.0OO for tbe nomination; and 1 was pretty, certain of getting elected. After that I dldn'tpay out anything in buying votes. There were some cipenees tor drinks, etc, and that trict, and tried to see every voter in it. I would speak to a man very cordially, tell him who I was, and ask him to vote for me.

It he promised to do so, all right. If cot, I made a note of it. and tried to see him again, In this way I got a great many who had never voted befoio, and a good When the General was In New York, about a year later, on his way to COEoecti-cut, to engage in the canvass of the State, he was met upon lha streets by Morrtssay, with his usual blandncsa, and Inquired as to bis destination.

"No, I'd rather you would not, Say his friends sent it tu him so assist him.

It might not do well to haye it known that a Democrat, helped him, a Republican But the money will do just as much good as though he knew where it came from." And so the money was taken.

Ibis a point whici ha3noLyet beiiu discussed, bul lljere can be no doubt that the Secretary is rtct his opinion.

The'-real point, he claims, with the Democrats, la to make capital for the Congressional campaign, by making It appear that the party is anxious to investigate the i'rautts, while the Repub licans are opposed to it. Urn the position taken by the Republicans la Congress; places the Democrats la au unpleasant situ-ation. The couairy now sees that the Democrats wai a partial or a one sided but iuvestl- gation, and are unwilling to permit an in-vestigailon into the frauds, murders and hnbtrius during the campaign of 1ST0, by their own party. Ou Lhu Louisiana vote, Secretary Sherman mia he. was convinced that 11 therebid beed a full-ajid fair one so-that State' the ttepubllciti majority would have been much larer thanreporiud by the- Re-turning Board, Whca asked what the Democrats could do with him under the resolution should it pass, he answered they could do nothing, and be defied them to do their worst.

He could not bs moved by anything they might do-Bad he challenged their wrath. He said his visit to Xuw Orleans, was in the Interest of the rights or the Ropubii-can in Louisiana, aod to see that Iho votes were honestly counted and after a most thorough' anamination of the returns, and hearing the testimnny of prominent iiepubllcans, he was tally convinced that the most shameless frauds and bulldoziug were done in that State. He firmly believed that nothing would come oS the resolution, as a tborougU honest investigation of the election matters in Florida and Louisiana would reveal the degrvdin character of the Democracy in those States. CHAIRMAN ECTBLEE, A Madison dispatch to tho Milwaukee Sentinel on Wednesday, says it has definitely transpired that Horace Rublee, chairman of the -Republican Slate Committee, lias determined to remove from the State, and will tako up hi3 residence in Boston where he will aaauriao business relations. Ilia resignation has not as yet been sent to the State Central Committee but will be in a few days.

We are not surprised at the movement ot Mr. Rublee. Since his return from Switzerland in 1877. lie has been He was made chairman ot the Republican State Committee last year, a position he held ia 1SG9, when he was appoiuted by President Grant, minister to pwiterlind. Frmtht.

time to last year a period of ciittt 'years tho work of guiding the Republican forces in Wisconsin fell upon Hon. E. W. Keycs, who is as skillful in politics as Bis- miriklsin diplomacy. He has carried the party through some stormy campaigns, and has shown himself a master of the situation.

Mr. Rublee's eight year's residence abroad caused him in Jmany respects to an interest in Wisconsin matters. Stilt he was strong his Republican principles, and the party not forgetting seryices as chairman ofthe State Committee, rc-eleoted him last year when tho Civil Service Ho. 1, issued by the President, compelled Mr. Keyes lo resign chairmanship of that Committee.

Since then he has spent but a small portion of his time iu Wisconsin, aod has paid but httie attention to politics. He weal to Boston last winter where be remained lor soma time, and at last concluded to permanently locate thore. Mr. RubleE is a gentleman of honor and ability, and whereycr he he will carry with him the bes: wishes of a host of friends. The Senuaei'i dispatch says that Mr.

Turner will probably be appointed chairman for the present. The City Times says it hi3 ao ill-will Tar Congressman Williams, but after Its readers have carefully perused the editorial on that genUomau which appeared in its Issue Ot this would bo very difficult for the Ttmes to make them believe It is sincere in making1 that statement. If the Times has not the "slightest" ill-will, we fail to disc ver any ruaijo why it should attempt to belittle him in the estimation of ilsreaddrs. It' it ha3 a b.me Co pick with Mr. Williams, then there may be some ground for its attack but professing friendship, and then abuse him, is not that kinj or consistency which the publi mire.
