A special dispatch to tho New York 1
yVi'.ioic of tlie llOtli, from Columbia, S. C., ,
on the -Wh? rea<ij jis follows:
"A largenumber of Republicans of tho
Second Congressional District met at Aiken i
vestI'plav, to listen to an address from E.
*\|. Urayton, tho Republican candidate for I
Congress. The red-Hblrted Democratic club, i
in obedience to instructions from their
party leaders, were on band as usual, pre- I
pared and determined to break up the I
ineetiiijr. Ah soon as Mr. Brayton began to i
HjK'ak he wait interrupted by yells, curses I
ami derisive cliters, so that lie could not bo I
Jicaril. A despe/ato-looking red-shirt dis- i
m/iiiiili'il from liifl horse and made a fnrinns i
thi.ili at the stand, with the purpose of ]
pulling tli? speaker down, but was pre- 1
vented hy liis mora Hober-iuinded coinpau- '
ions from necoinplishiug his design. t
.Mr. Dmyton saw that it would not be i
Kafeto continue tiie meeting and, therelore,
dhuniased his hearers and returned to
hi* Imtel. Here he waa followed by the
reil-hliirtera, who rode their horses up into t
tlie piamof the hotel and continued their
abuse of Mr. Drayton until the arrival of (
the train.
To show that this outrage was wholly
premeditated and arranged for we have (
only to refer to an editorial artlclo that t
preceded the meeting in the columns of
the Aiken, S. C., Jievoriler?a Democratic ,t
paper?which is us follows: j
We publish the call for a mass meeting ?
of the filthy, ficru'IFy crew, headed by J. ?
llendrix .Mcljineand K. M. Brayton. The ,
jKUty is such ? mongrel concern that we do 1
not know whether to call litem the ring
btrenkeil and Btriped (Jreeuback-Kadieal .
pjirly or the ring streaked and striped
l!:ulieal-CJrcenback party. But we do {
know thi>?, that if the Democracy of 'Aiken 1
county don't turn out in fulL force on Saturday
next and confront these unclean
birds of prey, they will be recreant to their i
duly and unworthy of their grand old Carolina
mother. Let every club turn out in
full force, mounted and in red shirts and .
with banners Hying, llepreseutntivo Democrats
will be on hand to demand a divis- .
ion of time, and your patriotic county
chairman, (ftoigo \V. Croft, will be there
to manage the details. We say down with
them! Down with them! Let them de|utt
from Aiken feeling that they are re

uithfiillv, stubbornly and triumphantly, j

with thorn, or hide your diminished heads j
ami never claim to be sons of our beloved
olil Carolina mother again. ;
This is the Bourbon idea of free govern- ]
went ami free speech. This is the way tlia 1
.South is able to to Washington solid '
Suith delegations. The case is not differ- ,
cat from liiat of Poland when Russia i
:in<) Aiwlria "made it a wilderness and i
nilletl it peace. This is the way that the j
South id made solid for so-called Democra- ,
ry. The people are very unanimous in the
presence ami under the heol of such ades- 1
J?olism. lj it any wonder that there is an j
sympathy at the North with
Xf.ilione and his followers in Virginia in I
their etlbrt to break down this despotism 1
anil liberate the people.

through the form of prctsentinv them,
placed the following communication in the
hands of Judge Wyiio:
Wmiukcito.v, October 28. i
& S. Hutchinson, Jfy., Foreman tif ihe Grand
Jury:
Sin:?I was drawn uh a juror upon the
regular panel of the March term ot the
Criminal Court, and at a iuuritlcu of mv
business interests and personal health, reluctantly
accepted the servico and faithfully
performed the uuuleasant duty
usai^neu me until the etui of the term. In
Juno the .Star Houte case came on for trial
mil, notwithstanding my earnest protest,
I was accepted and sworn as a juror to try
ihe case upon law and evidence.
During the progress of the triai
I wan approached by an agent
if the Department o( Justice named
Henry A. llowen, who represeuted to me
[hat tie was authorized to see me in reference
to the case. lie made the dishonest
proposition of ollering $2,500 to influence
iho verdict. The following day, August 24,
lie forwarded a card to my address, milking
vupointinent. I immediately reported the
rausaction to Judge Wylie, and informed
urn of what had transpired. The crime is
)f that character which aljects the rights
mil liberties of citizens, and'is of such importance
that I respect fully, but earnestly,
eqnest your Honorable Body should investigate
the charge, and that I may be
lummoned before you to present the facts,
(imported by corroborating proofs.

"Did von say that tiie grand jury revived
this paper?''

"Do you know by whom' it was rajeived?"
' "Nothing more than that it was revived."
. i
"It is a highly improper commnnicaion,"
said the Judge,''and you should
:ake no notice of it. It is a paper coming i
rom a party who insiats on being brought I

Washington, October 'M.?The first of
lie jury bribery wises, that against Arthur
L'uyue, colored* came up in Police Court
o-ihiv. Governor Wells and Mr. Kerr for
lie Government, were iu attendance,
i'ayne was attended by his counsel, Messrs.
Padgett, Newman and Davies and Pagette.
Mr. Jlrewster Cameron, Co I. Kobert G.
loRersoll, Seward McLaineand others, who
liad been connected with the Star route
trial sat within the bar.
After the presentation of several aflidatits
Juror Brown was called to the stand and
Lold the story of Payne's attempt at bribery
in substance, as already related in the press,
Upon cross-examination the witness said
lie was informed through an auonyinous
note that Fall was working up this scheme.
Witness "did not believe they had any Intention
of paying $2,500 for his vote." He
lid believe that it was a job to send him
to the penitentiary.
The defence eudeavored without success
to obtain a statement from the witness of
the conversation between himself and
Uov. AVells, The prosecution objected and
ttiu Court sustained the objection.
The witness said that ou October 12th last
lie made an atlidavit (what is known as
tholngersoll aflidavit), but upon objection
[rom Governor Wells the defence prevented
the questioning of the witness on the subject,
the object being to contradict him.
1'lie original atlidavit was then produced
und witness was examined upon its sub-*
ject matter. Witness denied Fall's name ,
liad been mentioned in the atlidavit, and
when the document was exhibited to him ,
uontaiuing Fall's name in interlineation,
lie said he thought it had been inserted
ifter he swore to the ailiilavif, which he
jaid was in Col. Ingersoll's handwriting. ,
Lt was not true he used Fall's
name on that occasion. So much
>f tho aflidavit as stated that
Martin (another juror) was to be influenced,
kVHH untrue. Ho did not remember who
;old him Col. Itigereoll wanted to see him, 1
jut he went up,to his ofllce and made an !
Ulidavit, whieh followed the one made
before to Assistant District Attorney
VIoore. In his conversation with Payne, !
Jio witness made au appointment for" the
ol lowing Monday. His object was to Hud '
)Ut the man behind Payne. He regarded
Payne as a dupe. This man, lie believed, ,
jnd written the agreement destroyed.
Witness denied, laughingly, that ho had
sver offered l'uyno $150 for the written '
i}?reemeut.
The Court remarked that the matter beoro
it was not whet her a juror had been
sribed, but whether ho had been approach
ed. I
Mr. Davis replied he understood thai; .
-ie was now trying to make out by the wit- ,
less'own words that ho was unworthy
)( belief; that he had made ailidavits con- j
mdictory of ono another. (
The examination of the witness was resumed.
lie denied he'had first learned of
:ho existence of the written argument on
Seventh street when lie drank withTaynf-j
witness never told Win. K. Lowe ho
Liiougiii uiuru was luuney m iuc ouh iuuiu
business lor him, the witness. Ho voted i
[or the appropriation made by his lodge to ,
send Payne out west. Did not remember
whether or not ho moved tho appropriation.
The cross examination brought out no
point of importance. . 1
At tho request o! the defensa the further ;
jxamination of Brown was adjourned until
to-uioriow in order to allow them to obtain 1
by subpojna upon tho Attorney General '
itlidavits collected by special counsel Wells. '
A. 13. Williams, called to answer for the 1
affidavits of Nelson and others, )?aiii hp h?d 1

reason for bo doing ft as he did not believe
this was an honest prosecution, that tho .
paper was wanted for no honest purpose,
[iii4 for the protection of witness, Nelson,
who would lie called before the court, he
had done this. .
Williams was bskcu u no was present '
\i\d participated in the preparation ot i
what won subsequently published as Col. i
ingenjoll's interview ? 1
This question Wlim) to answer,
ami appealed to tlio Court.
Tho question was temporarily waived,
Witness knew a subptena was out for !
Nelson's affidavit when he gave it to Nelton
th|s morning. ' ;
Gov. Wells renewed his question relative
I? the SogenoU interview,. M-ngaiu the
\
witness declined to answer, His objection f
wuh BuntftineU by tho Court.
Witness acknowledged that. bo had Je
uucrnteJy, for tho purpose of avoiding a *i
Muli|]?uii4it given tho affidavit to Nelson.
Ho did this because ho wifllied to compel
the Government to briny Nelson into *
court. Witness made thin declaration in a
cool, defiant luuuncr, charging Governor
Wells with having a dishonest purpose in
calling for tho paper. J ie wild that ho acted
entirely upon hi* own responsibility in
this matter. Incersoll knew nothing of his
purposed. lie did not know where Footo's c
affidavit was. Ho believed it had been *'
returned to Footo several dnv's ago. He *
decllned to tell where Foote 'was, ami in t
answer to an implied threat from Governor
Wells to have him punished lor concealing <
tho whereabouts of a fugitive from justice,
ho said the charge against Koote was ouly c
a miwk'JHi'unor and he, Williams, could t
not be forced to give such information. ,
Subpoinas were issued for Colonel Ingeraoll, i
Nelson, and Uaker, a clerk in Colonel Ingeraoll

Washington*, October 1?U?Col. llobert ^
G. Ingeraoll was interviewed upon Special j
Counsel Wells' report in tbo star route j
bribery ease. Col. Ingeraoll says; "lhave
read the report, and I urn very much obliged ;
to Wells for making it. lie has corrobo- 1
rated itiy Htatement in many particulars, 1
and has furnished so much evidence in j
favor oi its absolute truth that 1 feel under
certain obligations to him. I charged that
Fall was employed .by the government, at 1
$10 a day. Wells admits it. That Nelson v.
was employed at SoO a month. Wells ad- r
mits it. That both these men were hired t
because Full said he and Nelson had bribed j
Brown in a former case. Wells admits ,
this. I ulso charged that Fall employed 'j
Foote, and that Foote brought Payne to ?
Fall,nn.il that Fall got Payne to offer Urown \
$<"2,500 for his vote. Wells admits this. {
The only difference between Wells' t
statement and mv own up to tins point is ^
:is to tlie form of the written agreement ,
Fall wrote for Brown to sign. Alt the evi- c
deuce taken together shows without one
shadow of doubt that Fall was employed ,
by the Department of Justice, and that in g
the interests of his employes Fall endeuv- s
ored to corrupt llrown. It is admitted by
the Department of Justice that Fall not
only jjjude an improper proposal to jurymen,
but that he carried his impudence to
the extent of making improper proposals
to the Department of .Justice. Wells substantially
admits Fall did go to IIoIinead
and did tell him that all the other
lurors were under tne uati 01 suspicion, null j
tUutbe-,Holincml,wu8 the only juror in whom j
[lie Attorney-General had any coutidence. c
Llolmeud did not regard this conversation f.
us tin attempt to bribe him, and 'so stated, f
Hut, aa a matter of fact, to approach a f|
juror in that way i9 just as reprehensible tl
us to oiler him money; it is iufamous. g
Ihe re-nl question, and onlv question really B
in thecase is whom was lull acting for? j
Was he acting foi the Government or for c
the defense? Suppose it turned out that
the deiendants were paying l'all ten dollars
i day and the Department of Justice
nothing, would it be possible to make
any human believe be was actjug
ior the Department of Justice ?
It is admitted the Department paid him
$10 a day, and the supposition is he was at
work for his employers, anil without some
positive testimony to the contrary' we are
compelled to believe what he did for the
Department of'J ustice. lie savs he was
engaged by the Departinefff"ahd worked
forth? Department; that it was his business
to find out whether any jurors had
been approached, and whether anv jurors {
could i>e approached, and no objection
made by the Department to that kind of
business.
it lias been charged a hundred times
that after Fall was discharged on thV 17th
of July, he was reemployed under the
nnm,?-nM?MlSll ?n<1 l.n u-oi WftA f?.
information furnished in a uriminal prosecution,
and lie received it under the name
of V. Hill. On the 24tli of Octobcr, Fall
beiug- somewhat 'uneasy, ia mind wrote a
letter to Nelson, as follows:
Jiu:?1 am told thai the Government will
abandon me and sav that 1 tried to bribe
the juiy for the'defense, nud also that you
and I. bribed iJrown in the Long case. I
do not believe you gave llrown a cent. I
will stand by you if it comes to the .worst.
Should the Government abandon me I
expect your support, and you may be asHurcd
that I shall nut let you sutler for
anything you have done for the Government,
through me.(.if the Government
arrests me, it will be an net of persecution
as you know, and I must light to the bitter
end. 1 did what was done for the Government.

ho House Committee of Ways anil Means
neets, two weeks from now. the complete
eport, pronerly indexed, will be on their
able, ready for consideration anil such
iction as may bo deemed mlvisaible.
As to the recommendations, of
he commission they will not be made
cnown until officially known to Congress
it the opening of next session. The comnission
has held sessions for just twelve
seeks?the lirst live weeks being spent at
..ong Branch, and the remainder of the
ime in visiting cities in several parts of
lie country in order to ascertain the conlition
and wants of the various local inlustiies.
Thus, three days were spent in
Boston, two in Cincinnati, three in Chica;o,
two in St. Louie, two in Baltimore, six
n New York, three in Pittsburgh, ami
hreein L'hiladelphia, while still shorter
isits were made in Milwaukee, St. Paul,
Minneapolis, Des Moines, Indimwpolis,
Vthmta, Savannah,Charleston, Richmond;
iv neenng una omer cities. Altogether the
lommiesion traveled about; j,000 miles,
ield public sessions for nbout TO days,
,nd heard the statements of between 500
md 000 persons. The printed record will
111 about 2,000 pages, und as there was
m!y one official reporter, and as a large
mrt of this time was spent in traveling,
he rapidity with which the record has
?een prepared for publication is retnarkaile.
.It is the opinion of persons who have
md unusually good opportunities for judgug
of the sentiment of the torn mission
luit no radical or importaut changes in the
xisting tarilF will be recommended. Their
eport will rccommend, perhaps, a slight
ticrease of duties here, a slight decrease
liere, together with some insigniHeant adions
to the free list, and wherever it is
ossille an abandonment of compound
uties (that is, of ad valorem rates comined
with specific rates) will be recomicnded.
It is also probable that import

These are more particularly within

ntertalned by importers and merchants.

rged an increase of existing duties on

either he abolished in the interest of wool
lanufacturers, nor increased in the interst
of American wool growers, but will relain
practically as at preBent, and even
int the action of the Crcsson convention

uainess in favor of increased rates on iron
re and on iron and steel in their various

days in the present fiscal year were not ...
completed. The total is$251,428,117. To ai
this should bo added the Geneva award, f0
amounting to about $10,000,000, postollice i?
expenditures $12,000,000, and indefinite cj

nolall boused tliis year. Nevertheless it C(
is a charge aj?tiiust the Treasury, is set 8j

There is not much probability that the w
expenditure under the bead of indetllnite p(

by any considerable sum. it.
No one in the Treasury thinks that the
receipts can exceed $-100,000,000, and of

ter Hounds has returned from u visit to his nt

versation with a correspondent to day in fr<
regard to the political situation in Illinois, sp
Mr. Hounds said: "Our friends feel a
great deal more conlident than they did jj
two weeks ago. -I talked with all the cl
prominent leaders who are managing the hi
eauvass, before I left Chicago, and they expressed
great confidence that the Kepubli- 8lj
cans would hold their own. So fur as the pi
Congressional delegation is concerned, we ra
expect to carry all the Chicago districts, M
and while we may lose one or two outside di
districts, we expect that any such losses sh
will be oll'set by gains in other parts of the he
Stat i'. he
"What is your judgment as to the polit- ca
ical complexion of the next Legislature V" cu
your correspondent asked. u ;
"It is impossible for any man to form a li\

"We hate a miuority system of represeii- ht
tation in IlliuoiH, you remember, and that ce
practically prevents anything like an accu- a !
rate forecast of the general result on the is
Legislative ticket." an
"There have been some rather harsh m
criticisms upon the recent removals in the
Government Printing-office," the correspondent
remarked. .
"Yes, unjust as well as harsh," Mr.
Rounds responded. "The facts nre these:

The Conservative members of huiialent

eeided to combat the operations of (ho

The debate on the procedure rules was

Gladstone explained' lo the House -(lint
e offered dining Ibo session-last May to
dopt the two-thirds majority rule, hoping
lereby to forward the business of the
ession. As that object was not attained

ive a defective system, and one which he
ould not wholly approve, lie denied there
its any desire to gag 4he minority, and
lid his only wish was to restrain unneeesiry
debate*against the evident sense of tho
louse. Gibson's amendment would hat'o
10 effect of transferring the rights of the
lojority to the minority^ lie would not
mke this question a subject of appeal to
le country, but he begged that the House
ould not assent to Unit amendment.
