Eight or nine years ago, when tlie
Republicans bail full sway in both
Houses of Congress, and were distrib
uting tlie public ikuuaiu among *wi broad
companies, who understood Kemble*
rules of “addition, division and srlence,’’
it was charged by the New York Sub
and other journal#, which did not be
lieve that the Usuwa wm saved for the
express purpose of enriching thieves,
tiiat the members of CooPeas, who
were giving the public lands to co#i»o
rations, were paid for their liberality.
These charges passed unnoticed, except
w hen casually alluded to by a partisan
paper or stump speaker, as proof that
the journals from which they emanated
were rebel sympathizers. It was treas
on in those days to insinuate that Con
gress was not infallible as well as incor
ruptible, and w hen Horace Greeley and
Ciiarlea Sumner, two of the foirwlvrs of
the Republican i«rty, declined to sanc
tum the policy of its modern leaders,
who were influenced more by spoils
than patriotism, they were ostrac aed
and kicked out of the councils of tlie
party, to make room for the bribe tak
ers.
Now information is laid before the
Committee on Railroads, of the Mouse
of Representatives, alleging that the
promoters of' one of the Pacific Railroad
projects disbursed$lH).000iu money aad
$1,300,000 in first mortgage land-grant
bonds, among Senators and Represent
atives, for favorable action on the bill.
One of the Senators, who, it
is, alleged, received a goodly
•hare of the money and bonds
is said to he a prominent candidate for
the Republican nomination for the
Presidency. J, H. George, who prefers
this charge, says he has documents mol
letters in his jxrsaosaion to prove it.
He claims that they arc safely deposited
in Washington, arid when desired will
he produced before tire committee. It
is probable tliere will be another
of corruption in Congress, equaling, if
not exceeding, tire Credit Mobilier,
which scut Colfax So private life, and
smirched the reputations of many other
shining lights in the legislative and
other Departments of the Government.
It is charged by the Washington cor
respondent of the New York Times
that James G. Maine is implicated in
this wholesale bribery business, ami ff
such is the fact, the Plumed Knight can
scarcely expect to be nominated at
Chicago or elected I*resideut should lie
receive the nomination. The Times is
the leading Republican paper in the
l iiited States, and it would not be
likely to make such a grave charge
against one of the foremost men in its
party unless there is good reason to
believe that it is well founded.
■OW THE HETUOIMVTS ELECT
WMIBP*.
The General Conference of the Metho
dist Episcopal Church at Cincinnati
elected lour Bishops last week. The
conference decided upon the number to
be elected, but made uo nominations.
'1 welve tellers were appointed, and the
Secretary called the roll. Each delegate
answered to his name, received his bal
1 't, and called out his vote. Each
b.iliot had four names of bishops, and
at the close of the vote the tellers re
tired, w;tn instructions not to divulge
the result in any way until it should be
made known at a subsequent session.
There were 390 vote* cast on the tirst
l u.iot. of which Henry W, Warren, of
Philadelphia, received 260; C. I). Foss,
President of Wesleyan University,
Middletown, Connecticut, 2>4; and J.
F. Hr.rst, President of Drew Theologi
Seminary, Madison, New Jersey,
243. who were declared elected. The
remainder of the votes were cast for
t.veuty-seveu different persons, ths
highest number—100—having been cast
for Dr. K. 0. Haven,'Chancellor of the
Syracuse University, of New York,
who was elected Bishop on the third
ballot, the second resulting in no
choice. J. P. Newman, of Washing
ton, who was said to be General Grant's
choice for Bishop, received S4 votes on
the tirst ballot, 3b on the second, and 24
on the third and last.

The EKftarr Republican State Con
wenfc»« w.ur called to order at noon
yealMiay, by A. M. Jones, and fl. H. I
ftauss was chosen Chairman, General
Ran in, in his sjieech. asserted that with
unity of action the Republicans could,
without a shadow of doubt, «*rty the
election; hut with the diwisiett that is
now imminent on account of the two
contesting delegations-from Cook coun
ty, there was peril to the greatest in
terests of the State and nation. He
referred to the bitter and persoual
contest respecting the Presidential
delegates, hut said the Convention
would decide honorably, fairly and
justly, without partisanship on the
rights of these two contestants, and
that the decision ought to he final, and
ought to be readily concurred in. He
said if the mrty w as always to be men
aced bv defeat by a minority who failed
to dictate the nomination, the sooner it
went into bankruptcy the tatter. He
referred in most complimentary terms
#f»Sherman, l’.laine and Grant, but to
pressed the belief that it was the duty
of Illinois Republicans to nominate
Grant, who had done so much to pre
serve the country. The name of Slu r
man was loudly cheered, Blaine still
more- loudly, and the name of Gran*
called forth continued applause.
A courier has arrived from old Camp
Graut, sixty miles north of Tucson,

of hostile Indians in the neighborhood.

Heorge Stone. wh® left for the Ameri
can Flag mine, located near San Pedro,
has returned. He reports that he met
seventeen wagons of settlers lleeing
from San Pedro to Tucson, who con
firmed the rcjtort of Imlians being in
that vicinity and of prospectors l>eii»g
killed. There are about f.ftOl) avaiU
hie troops in the Territory, and most »i
them are near the line of New Mexico,
fighting hostiles there.
Hen. Charles Adams, who has just
returned to Wi&liingtou from Pdorado,
says there are now waiting on the Ut«
reservation at least 1,000 wagon load®
of im in grants who have cowe thither
from Missouri, Kansas, Iowa and Illi
nois. exacting to make homes and put
in oro|i» this summer in the Une'unpa
ghre Valley. Many of them are already
destitute of provisions, and a threaten
ing state of affairs exists not only on
this account, bnt also by reason of a
growing feeling among the Indians that
they have been cheated by lieing
brought to Washington to -dgn an agree
ment which has not been ratified.
The Minnesota Republican State
C'oiiveutiOn meets to-day- The candi
dacy of Senator Windom gave flnprece
dented interest to the contest in the
primaries. Of the whole number of
delegates chosen so far 114 are in

and fO scattering. It is thought that
when the convention meets-, however,
Windom will he the choice of much the
larger number, and will be presented to
the National Convention almost unani
mously as a candidate.

Perugia, hut is not prepared to face the’
storm of opposition, reproach and nnefi

cret to his medical advisers that for
him to remain in Rome is, perhaps to’
