The congressional committee in
vestigating the treasury contingent
fund, have examined two more wit
nesses. One of them, L. W. Vail
conducted the Washington World, a
Sherman campaign organ, prior to
the Chicago convention. It is charg
ed that the type for that establish
ment was obtained witbont payment
therefor, from the government print
ing office, and sinecure and govern
ment appointments given to em
ployes on the paper. Mr. Vail holds
a position as special agent of the
treasury department, one sou a
clerkship, and another, a mere lad,
a raessengership. Paul Jones, the
other witness, was foreman of the
treasury cabinet, who submitted a
memoranda of the work done at
different times during the year 1881,
upon Secretary Sherman's house,
stable, etc., and charged to the diff
erent bureaus and divisions of the
department. The data is very ex
explicit, giving the date of all the
work done, the time occupied, mate
rial used, and the branch of the
treasury department to which it was
charged, with the amount charged.
The Lkdies' Land League meeting

There were about a hundred pas
sengers on hoard. One man was

Further testimony before the
senate committee to investigate the
expenditure ot the treasury contin
gent fund was takeu on the 4th. It
is a subject of remark .that with the
exceptiou of W. Paul Brown, every
witness who has thus far appeared
before the commission, although
placed under no restrictions by
them, absolutely refuses to say a
word about the nature of the exami
nation. Philhip Aglet, a farmer residing
a few miles from Topeka, was re
cently murdered in bis house,which
was burned to conceal the crime.
Suspicion, however, rested upon W.
E. Graham, a uephew of Agfey, and
he was arrested,, charged with the
crime, and made a full confession
stating that he killed his uncle for
his money. A mob of two or three
hundred men subsequently gathered,
burst open the jail, overpowered tho
guard aud took Graham and hanged
him to a telegraph pole in front of
tho jail.
A very large portion of party po
litical strife aud bad feeling engen
dered among politicians and promi
nent meu engaged iu ruuuing
political parties, is brought about by
the newspapers of the country tol
erating the publication of articles
based upon mere suppositions such
as the following: "A decided im
pression exists in some quarters."
'Gossip credits." "There eeems to
be little doubt." ('It is thought by
some of the wise men," etc:, etc.
Every political writer of such arti
cles has a motive for throwing oui
to tho public his "decided impres
sions," which motive is usually con
cealed from the public. Who kuow?
in the article which we publish from
the Tribune's New York special what
was the motive of the writer. Wo
can only reasonably suppose that it
was not intended to continue the
kind and harmonious feeling hereto
fore existing between the distin
guished men named in it, but must
have been written for another pur
pose entirely. Publishers of news
papers, by exercising an ordinal'
amount of care, can readily detect
all such mischievous publications,
and should promptly exposo them.
Read the article and judge for your
selves :
"The Tribune's New York special
says: A very decided impression
exists in some quarters that Gen.
Logan is preparing the way for his
own nomination in 1884, and that he
has been awakeued to the possibility
of a very dangerous rivalry in bis
own state. Gen. Logau is credited
with the nomination of Mr. Lincoln
by Gen. Garfield, aud has always
entertained the warmest friendship
for the secretary ot war. Lincoln
is a hard fighter, but a square fight
er; therefore it is impossible to
credit him with the jealousy of Mr.
Logan which Is now ascribed to
him. At the same time, it is tbo't
not unlikely that Mr. Logan fully
realizes the advantage, great or
small, which Mr. Lincoln might
have in certain contingencies and he
would not be slow to counteract
them. He would hardly, however,
suggest a method which would be
likely to bring Mr. Lincoln's name
into special prominence. .Gossip
credits President Arthur and his
stalwart friends with an intention of
making Mr. Lincoln in certain con
tingencies the candidate of the con
vention. The third terra idea is
dead, and there eeems to be little
doubt that, with the exception of
Logan, the intention is to secure for
Gen. Arthur a renomination. The
condition of the party and the de
velopment at the republican conven
tion itself might make that renomi
nation impossible, or if possible,
presage certain defeat. In that event,
it is thought by some of the wise
men, that already these stalwart
leaders have in view the bringing
forward of Mr. Lincoln."
