a correspondent who Failed forth on
a late terrible night to test their
utility , found all the gin palaces

but the "People's Cafes" closed , at

managers was that it did not "pay"
to keep them open after working
hours.
Tbe census of Paris is looked for
ward to with much interest. In
1700 the population numbered 7iO-
000 inhabitants. Toward the end
of tboeigbteeutb century it had di
minished to 620.000 , and continued
to decrease until 1801 , when it num
bered 546,000. From that time it
baa bteadily risen. In 1831 it was
774,338 , in 1836 909,126 Twenty
years later it reached 1638,613. In
1860 the annexation of all the dis
tricts comprised between the old
Octroi boundary and the fortifica
tions had the cfiect of swelling the
number to 1,700,000 , and to 1,825,000
m 1866. These additions nearly
doubled the area of the capital. In
1872 the population showed a slight
falling oil compared with 1870 ,
being 1,851,792 , against 1,900,000 in
the latter year.
German new. pipers are denounc
ing the emigration agents who da-
coy emigrants to Antwerp aud Rot
terdam , and there fleece them of
their money and cause untold hard
ship and misery. Ono way in which
they despoil their victims , who fre
quently have just money enough to
pay their passage , is to get them to
port by fal-e : representations weeks
before a vcesel satis , aud force them
into boarding houses with which the
agents are in league , and where the
helpless wanderers are robbed in
every form. Tickets are advertised
at very low prices which , it after
ward appears , do not Include nu
merous sundries that more than
double the cost. These emigration
agents were driven out of Hamburg
by the prosecuting attorney of that
city , but they have found a new ha
ven in Holland.
There are six universities in Rus
sia two in 8t. Petersburg , and one
each in Moscow , Kassau , Odessa ,
and KharkoO. In 1866 there were
in all of them 3,581 students. In
1871 ( he number had increased to
5301 , but 1876 it had diminished
again to 4,392. As a rule Russian
students have no resources of their
own , and are obliged to give lessons
to support themselves At Moscow
many of them , especially tne med *
leal students , are said to be in a
miserable condition. From 1870 to
1873 , while 3,224 students finished
their course of studies , 2,011 were
compelled to desist without takkg

Special Dupatcb to The See.
LINCOLN , Jan.17.
The following is e copy of the
testimony published in the Even-
irg Globe.
Hitchcock claimed to have in his
possession a letter written by Wm.
Irving , authorizing Bmrgs and
Saunders to draw on the Treasury
of the B. & M. for any amount nec-
cessary to secure the election of
cither oneoftbtm. It was claimed
that T. M. Marquettehad further
authorized the scheme by endorsing
ing his initials on the letter.
Hitchcock was attempting to make
u ° e of thh document to tbull-doKe
repiescnatives. Marquette was [ sent
for and on making his appearacoe
the whole thing to Hitchcock's
face as a forgery and de
manded to aee the pretended letters
which Hitchcock refused to show.
Steps were then immediately taken
to procure evidence as to the truth
of the charge and to show who the
forger was , which is shown by the
following affidavits to be J. D ,
Flannigan , formerly a B. & M. em
ployee.
Hitchcock should be a candidate
for the State penitentiary instead of
the United Stales senate. Neither
the Pomeroy scandal in Kansas , nor
anything in American politics is a
parallel to this outrage on decency ,
Read the evidance and judge for
yourselves. They give the evidence
of Briggs &c. Here is what W. Ir
ving said :
THE TESTIMONX.
W. Irving , superintendent ot the
B. & M. , being duly sworn says the
letters , which are in the words and
figures , to-wit :
*
7o W. Irving ;
DEAR SIB Mr. Sloan will band
you this and' also ask for my sal
ary. He has advanced it to me by
paying my board bill'etc , and that
with a few hundred dollars I have
got from Hitchcock for two forged
letters will about see me to Eng
land again. I was down tu hardpan -
pan , and this accounts for my va
garies. Hitch ia going to show my
affld < iit and the letters I made to
T. M. M. , and he is going to bull
doze the B. & M. into supporting
him. I wish him the devil's own
luck with the Democrats. Excuse
my faults if you can. A thousand
dolls for a couple of hour's writing ,
and that purely of an inventive
character , is really a temptation.
Respectfully ,
J. D. FLANNIOAN.
P. S. I guess I had better not 'ell '
you where I sail from. j
XoJ , M. O'Qrady , Car Accountant : \
DEAR 8m : Will you oblige me by j
giving Mr. Sloan any letters that.
may arrive for me in the next few 1
weeks ; he will send them to me ;
the Black Hill > fever is gone up , \
and 1 &rb off for merry England , '
old boy. J. D. F.
On Monday morning , January 15 ,
Mr. Flannigan did not appear at his
desk , and a messenger was sent to
the St. Charles hotel after Flanni-
gau , who on returning said he could
not find him.
Geo. W. Holdrige , being sworn ,
says that he is assistant superinten
dent of the B. & M. road ; that be
is well acquainted with the ( pen
manship of J. D. Flauniganhaving
received frequent communications
from the supermdeut in the hand
writing of said Flannigau , and that
the letters are written in the hand
writing of J. D Flaunigan.
T. M. Marquette , sworn , says
that he has never given his assent
to the using of any money , or the
honoring of drafts on the B & M. ,
for the purpose of aiding the elec
tion or defeat of any person for
United States Senator as the suc
cessor of P. W. Hitchcock , and
never received any authority from
Perkins or any one else to draw
drafts or use money. He further
says that the letters "T. M. M. , "
claimed to be endorsed on the let
ters in the possession of Hitchcock ,
purporting to have been written by
Mr. Irving , were * put there without
his consent.
An investigating committee , to
prove the "true in ward ness" of the
Hitchcock letter ot infamy , was ap
pointed in the House yesterday , and
consists of Moore , Anyan , Gibson ,
Pitonpatnck and Clark. Bupe
Adams , Hitch's private secre
tary , was before the com
mittee this atrernoon and testified
ON OATH that he paid J. VV.
Flanlgan MIX HDNDRED DOL
LARS FOR THE AFFIDAVIT
and pretended letter , and that he
paid this amount out of Hitchcock's
money in the judges room in the
government building at Omaha.
The affidavit ; of J. M. O'Grady ,
ooptractor 9 Jh B. A M , WM pro
duced , to the eflect that one daj
lu t week J. D. Flannigan cr.mn tc
to bis desk and v.'roie the name o
President C. E. Perkins threa 01
four times on a slip of paper am ;
showed them to O'Grady , asking
him if they could be distinguished
from the genuine. O'Grady an-
swejrd "no. " Flannigau replied
he thought not either after a little
practice.
LINCOLN , Jan. 17 8 p. M.
The special committees appointed
by the House and Senate respec
tively , have been taking testimony
in the charge that the B. & M. R.
R. is using money to secure the
election of Briggs or Saunders. The
evidence , as given by Adams ,
Hitchcock's private secretary , is
that Adams gave J. D. Fiannigan ,
formerly an employee of the B. &
M. , six hundred dollars to obtain
possession of the papers , which are
said to show the company to be
using money to aid IJrigga or baim-
dpra , and to make a.'liiUvU Jo ( heir
correctness. FJjumijau left the
country as soon as the transaction
was completed.
The evidence of the B. &M. lends
to prove the papers a forgery by
Flannigan , and experts at recogniz
ing handwriting , before the Senate
committee , proclaimed the signa
tures frauds.
Briggs makes .affidavit that he
has never received any communi
cation from Irving , or any other
person , authorizing him to draw
upon the B. t M. for money for any
purpose , and never ha\iugdrawn a
draft , or never having received
oven a pass during the Senatorial
contest , and denounces all the
charges false and malicious in every
particular.
Saunders makes a similar utlida-
vir , and swears he has never had
communication , written or verbal ,
with the officers or any persons con
nected with the road concerning the
pro rat bill or anything connected
therewith. Irving sweara to hav
ing a letter from Planuigau in
which the latter says he forged the
tetter and received one thousand
dollars for it , and gave as his excuse
that he was down to hard pan , and
that he was on * for England. Fur
ther , both Irving and Holdbrldge
swear that Flaunigau was an expert
in counterfeiliug sigualures. Marquette -
quetto owears that the initials "T.
M. M. , " endorsing the letter in the
liauds of Hitchcock , are forged.
The committee consider the sub.
iect further to-morrow irorniug.
Everything is red-hot here over

THEY HAVE AGREED.
Washington , January 17. A ru-
uior is very generally circulated today -
day that the joint committee on
counting the electoral vote bad
come to on agreement. It is ascer
tained , however , from a member of
the committee , that this is not true ,
and that no satisfactory conclusion
has yet been reached. There will
be some decisive action to-day , and
the situation is regarded by mem
bers of the committee as very crit
ical. The preponderance of opinion
outside the committee is that the
committee will at the last moment
fall to agree.
The House passed a resolution
permitting Barnes , the contuma
cious witness , to return to New Or
leans in charge of a deputy ser
geant at arms to see whether , he
can procure the despatches called
for by the Morrison committee. It
is altogether probable that all of the
investigations ordered by the the
senate are now in progress in .Louis
iana , Florida and South Carolina ,
and the one here by the committee
on privileges and elections will be
temporarily suspended in consequence
quence of an action of the house in
not passing an appropriation made
by the senate some time since to re
plenish the contingent funds of that
body so as to defray the necessary
expenses of these investigations.
Morton gave notice to-day that
money was exhausted and that in
vestigations would have to stop.
The responsibility rests with the
house and not with the senate.

ILLINOIS.
LEGISLATIVE.
Springfield , January 17. The gal
leries and Robbies of the house were
crowded at an early hour to witness
the joint ballot for U. 8 Senator.
A large number of ladles adorned
the galleries. The opening of the
fight was begun by Air. Herrington ,
who stated that an attempt had
been made to a corrupt
democratic member of the house on
the senatorial question , and offered
a resolution providing for a special
committee of five to Investigate the
* matter.
The rules were unanimously sus
pended and the resolution adopted.
Mr. Merrington states tha | the
member referred to is Sheridan , n
Cook county , whose virtue , It ta al
leged , was assailed by ex-Jiscordei
btewart , of Chicago. The resolu
tion was really a shrpwd dodge tr
scare the Democrats who wauted tr
sell out If they got n change , and
could do ho with impunity.
At two o'clock the Senate on ( eietl

to adjourn until to-morrow morn

and another ballot will be taken at

The Democrats are determined to
give the weak-kneed Logan men
an opportunity to desert him It
is not probable that the Democrats
will drop Palmer this afternoon , but
to-night they may make a change
and consolidate on Anderson or

LINO.
FROM THE STATE uAPITAL.
Account of Tuesday's proceedings.
Telegraphic Editorial Correepondence
LINCOLN , January 17 The House
was called to order at 2 o'clock thl
afternoon. The lobby and gallery
were packed full of people , all anx
ious to know the result of the first
ballot for United States Senator *
The Chaplain , in his prayer , demon
strated that he was an anti-Hitch
cock man by asking the Lord that ,
if in accordance with His will , the
man best fitted to do the greatest
good to tne greatest number of people
ple be chosen Uniteil Mantes Senator ,
and at the same time he suggested
to the Lord that said oftice is the
highest position within the gift of
the people of this State ; the tone of
{ he entire prayer was against Hitch *
r , cock. A few bills were introduced ,
j when tin' House adjourned until
half-past four o'clock This action
j on the part of the Hou o was owing
to the fact that the Senate did the
same thing , aud doubtless with a
view of compelling the House to
I vote first on the Senatorial issue.
When the House was called to or
der , the excitemeutwas intense }
the gallery was still rrore densely
crowded than ever. Nance Stilled
the immense crowd gathered in the
hall by three energetic raps of his
gavel , atpreoiseiy half.past4 o'clock ,
. and started off on the regular rou
tine of business. Ho announced the
order as bills and concurrent resolu
tions.
Moore , of York , obtained the floor
aud oflered a resolution tnat dropped
into the Hitchcock camp like ti
bombshell into the ranks of a file of
soldiers , and caused just about aa
much scattering. An infamous at
tempt to blacken the charactera < f
Marquette , Brlggs and Sauuder- ,
waj ? madeby ! the fodrral brigade
last night' "Marquelte was sum
moned to tbe presence of the Great
Moguls of tbo clan , and with
the assurance which the cheek
of the senior Senator above
could command ; he announced to
Mr. Marquette that he was in pos
session of facts that would forever
bury the gentleman above men
tioned in the estimation of the people
ple of this State , but that if they
would wheel into line aud support
Mr. Hitchcock , the matter would
bs kept quiet. They had treed the
wroug coon. Marquette told him
to trot out his damaging testimony ,
whereupon actiug senator Adams ,
the tail end of all humanity ,
pulled forth certain documents
purporting to come from Mr. Per
kins , vice president of the C. , B. &
Q. railroad company , instructing
I the gentleman referred to draw on
I him for any amount needed to dt-
feat Hitchcock.
Marquelle pronounced the state
ment a Ho then and there. The
matter was investigated , aud proed
that u man in the employ of Mr.
Perkins hud been hired to bend
the telegram to that eflect.
The man , or rather tha
image of man who sent the dispatch
and wrote to Mr Perkins that he
had received a sufficient comldera-
tion to warrant him In the premi
ses aud that lie , tbe employee , wa
intending to return to England ai
once.
It was to uproot the whole trans
action that Moore introduced his
resolution to this effect , that as re
ports had been circulated to the ef
fect that a great and powerful rail
road company had offered to furn
ish money to certain candidates for
the U. S Senate to assist in secur
ing an election ; therefore be it "re
solved , That : i eommittes of flvo
be appointed to investigate the
.vhole matter. " Such is the substance -
stance of the resolution as it pre
vailed , aud Messrs. Moore , Any an ,
Fitchpatrick , Clark and Gibson
weie appointed the committee.
There is no longer any doubt
about the infamous coalition be
tween Hitchcock , Miller and Til-
den.
den.E.
E. A. Allen , chairman of the
Democratic State Committee , and
other leading Democrats , are here ,
bringing great pressure upon the
Democratic members for Hitchcock.
A Democratic Senator from
Douglas county , who refuses to rat
ify the corrupt compact , confirms
.the charge of the BEE. Senator
Crawford , who has always bitterly
opposed Hitchcock and never yet
! Toted for a .Republican , says : "I
may vote for a Republican , " refer
ring to Hitchcock , "because I want
to save my country another , Demo
cratic member. " He said to-aay.
"J will vote for the devil If he will
help my party. The Democratic
members are almost equally divid
ed on this question. Twelve or
thirteen are firmlv oppos-d to
the coalition under circum
stances. They say they have
no fsith in a corrupt par
ty tri.itoc like Hitchcock. During
the adjournment to day Hitchcock
borrowed the Governor's private
room , and the weak-kneed were led
In there to be bolstered up "With
regard to the forgery , men here are
of but one opinion , I.e. : That the
superintendent of the B. & M. , had
he made such a proposition as the
one credited to him , would not
be likely to employ a
secretary to wtite up the proposi
tion , as well as leave it in tbe pos
session of the clerk. The general
absurdity of the thing , if tbe char
acters of Brlggs and Saundera < ! id
not in themselves repudiate sucia a
damnable scheme , is enough to
prove its falsity.
