Columbia, Tu^wday, January 8.—Tbe
Oorbio committee la engaged several
boors daltyjo prosecutiog the Invest!
gallon entrusted to It by tbe Senate.
Its sessions are conducted in private
and tbe bond of secrecy in Imposed up
on members,clerks and wkn' SHt-MHltke
to remain lu force until the report h«-
beeo submitted to tbe Senate. I* is.
therefore, difficult to ascertain what
bss been done In tbe committee rcon,
but from various outside sources tbe
ollowing facta bare been obtained,
which will be found in time to corres
pond pretty much with the results ar
rived at by tbe committee:
Ifr. Corbin was w member of the
General Assembly at tbe time tbe
phosphate monopoly act waa passed,
and largely assisted, both within and
without tbs General Assembly, la sc
ouring Its passage. He was tbe lar
gest stockholder In the company or
ganised under the act, and managed
its Interests In the triple capacity of
president, counsel and legislator ; and
it waa lo Its loterect, and bla own, that
he applied to tbfi attorney-general to
bring suit against a rival company,
and to 1st him (Corbin) conduct the
suit In tbs courts.
In his "Cerd" recently published he
states that “novel and Important ques
tions” were involved In this auir.
These, however, may be summed up in
the one question: Whether North
Wlmbee Creek was or was not a navi
gable stream,'* queetion which, under
Oorbio’a manipulation may Indeed have
“run through about three years,” but
which might have been readily de
termined by one less interested in pro
tracting the suit within aa many weeks.
Having, In course of rime, obtained
a decree for $6,900, (not for $28,000 as
he alleges,) Corbin next applied to the
court to appoint a referee to ascertain
what fas should be paid to him for tbe
distinguished and disinterested ser
vices which bo had rendered the State
In conducting the suit Tbe referee
was accordingly appointed, sod soon
reported that Mr. Corbin waa entitled
to 611-2 per cent, on the $5,900 for
which a decree bad been obtained, and
tha court confirmed the referee’s re
port It should be remarked Just here
that at the time the referee made his
e was ao other amount be
fore the court besides the $5,900 above
referred to, and the eaormous per
cent by him recommended to be paid
waa awarded solely upon tbfi ground
that although the $6,900 waa the whole
amount for which tbe decree had been
obtained, and on which he could be
allowed a fee, yet the State would
eventually receive many timee that
sum ta royalty obtained by virtue ot
tbe finding of tbe oourt Ifr
, that the phoephate
Corbin’s cheek without Inflicting a vis
iblc scratch, and Corbin kept the $27,
900. By hie own showing, which le
merely accepted here for purposes of
argument, Corbin should have turned
over to tbe State at. least 87 1-2 per
cent of the $27,900; but he turned
over nothing. He complacently claim
ed to have rendered tbe comptroller-
general certain other services, not
eperilled, In another caee, and kept tbe
37 1-2 percent, on the whole amount as
hlasHf-awarded fee, well knowing that
if he had rendered any such service,
tbe comptroller-general bad no power
to fix bla fee. which could only be paid
through an appropriation by the Gen
era! Aesembly.
What be did with his plunder la too
well known to need re-telllhg. One or
twv points only may he indicated here,
C- rbu^in ;h!b card, says that Judge
Carpenter had granted an Injunction
against the l>ai>k« from paying out
State money ; the wheVL# of govern
ment weie thereby stopped, aud that
he (Corbin) lent Cardoxo, State Treas
urer, $20,000 to carry on the State Gov
ernment. Tbe reply to these state
ments is a very simple and brief one:
Judge Carpenter’s injunction did not
stop the wheels of government, for the
reason that tbe moneys then in the
banks were not moneys that could be
used “to keep tbe wheels of govern
ment In motion,” nor yet tbe wheels of
tbe mlagoveroment with which Oorbln
was more nearly concerned. Every
dollar In the banks belonged to ape-
dfle funds already appropriated, ex
cept tbe amount of about $9 78, the
unexpended balance appropriated for
“legislative expenses” for tbe previous
fiscal year. Not knowing tbe exact
amount In bank, It is possible that
Corbin may have been misled by the
tempting “item” under which this
amount waa returned.
Oorbln did not lend $20,000 to Car
doso, State Treasurer. He lent noth
ing to the State Treasurer for any pur
pose, as the State Treasurer's books
conclusively show. He did deposit
$20,000, or thereabouts, with Cardoso,
not aa State Treasurer, but os his mes
senger and lobylst In the matter of the
election of United States Senator. This
amount waa not paid out for any State
purposes. The whole of It was paid
out by Cardoso, not ae State Treas
urer, but In bis unofficial capacity as
Corbin’s agent, to members of the Gen
eral Assembly.
The only point worthy of notice In
this immediate connection ie that It
waa only paid out to republ ean mem*
hers of the General Assembly, a point
which Corbin carefully omits to men
tion in bla card. Whether these fav
ored members were paid by Oorbln for
their votes can only be determined by
a Judicial investigation, which will cer
tainly be bad. Until the result of such
investigation Is made known, however,
those who know Oorbln end who know
hlf men—tbe republican members of
tbe General Assembly of 1876—and
who know how these men voted, will
hardly be at aloe* to form •* oploloa
for themselves. O. McX.

WAWawtoir. January 7.—Persons
who claim to speak with knowledge of
what la going to be done when tbe Sen
ate again meets, assert that Senator
Oonkltng will either offer himself, or
will have offered, a carefully drawn
resolution, reciting that then are
grave a ecus at ions made, upon appa
rently good authority, Involving tbe
right of the President to the office held
by Dim; and that such accusations
ought to be set at rest by official in
quiry into the alleged facts. The scope
of the reeoludon, it is stated, will not
attempt to tmplieace President Hayes,
bat it is asserted that It doe* Involve
Senator Stanley Matthews, Secretary
Sherman and Congressman John
Garfield, all of Ohio. The Impression
la that Senator Oonkllng will not per
sonal! offer tbe resolution, but that It
may be done by Senator Howe, Of Wis
consin, or Senator Jones, of Nevada,
and that Its language will be eo care
fully drawn as to make It very diffioclV
for the Soathera democratic senators
to vote against it It la farther claimed
that Senators Thurman and Me Don
aid, of tbe Judiciary committee, with
Judge Davis, of IlUnots, who Is count
ed neutral on ad political issues, will
support tbe resolution. Tbe opposi
tion antic! petad Is from Boudjiera dem

Packard and the returning board which

This country is the greatest of grain
erfibaats, nod It is well, with the
opening of the new year, to take an
account of stock. Let us sum up tbe
results of the harvests of 1877 both In
our own land and In European States.
Aa regards France, the grain crop
of the year shows ao average return lo
point of quantity, but n decline la re
marked in weight and quality aa com
pared with the yield of 187A In tbe
eaa of wheat, for Instance, the deflden
cy Is reckoned at from five to seven
per eent, and there is no doubt that
France will be obliged to supplement
her native resources, to some extent,
by Importations of this staple.
Great Britain Is less fortunate than
Fmooe. In England, tha yield of
wheat, barley and oats Is considerably
below the average. Tha results are
similar In Scotland and Ireland, and a
further source of loss to the Utter
country la tbe fact that potatoes aof-
fared greatly, owing to the prevailing
humidity of the atmosphera As re
gards Italy, very different returns are
offered by different localities. Through
out the Southern provinces, formerly

A report appeared to-day that Con
gressman Springer, of Illinois, had
some informal Ion on the subject of

but be had been asked by leading re

Judgment be the course of tbe demo
crats in case a movement for Investi
gation was made by tbe republican
aids He replied to thia, that be ooold
not aee how the democrats could re
fuse a fair Investigation of what they
have denounced ae the greatest fraud
of tbe age. If they did the republi
can* would say, “You refuse to second
ua in an effort to Investigate the charg
es you have yourselves made. This
closes your mouths hereafter, you oan
no longer accuse oa.”
WHAT THB UrvroneATIOH SHOULD ME.
Mr. Springer add* tbat a committee
of Inquiry in such a matter ought to
be composed of the ablest men, so tbat
tbe result should have the confidence
of tbe country, and that the investiga
tion must be thorough-going and cov
er the whole struggle down to it* final
decision, both lo Louisiana, Florida
sad Washington. When asked what
democratic support tbe resolution
would have in the House, Mr.
Springer said that he ooold not Imag
ine tbat any democrat would vote
against it, not even those who voted
against filibustering, and he did not
believe tbat any of the Southern demo
crat* would be Inclined to take that
ground. He thinks there is no doubt
whatever of the passage of the resolu
tion if offered. Ordinarily there would
have to be a two-third vote on the
suspension of the rules to introduce &,
hot If the resolution should recite that
it had been altogcd that bargains had

wheat exhibits a gain of ton per cent
over the normal quantity, but ele
where In Prussia every species of grain
shows a decline of from six to seven
teen per oent. We find nearly equiva
lent results In Baden and Wurtomberg,
but lo Saxony the crop of wheat 1*
equal to the average, aad to parts of
Bavaria it rose soma seventeen per
oent above the normal level In the
latter country, moreover, the volume
of barley harvested ie at leest a quar
ter larger than tbe usual return. In
the German provinces of Austria the
amount of wheat Is between two ai
three million quintals In excess of th#
products of ordinary yean.
In Hungary the amount ot wheat
garnered la extremely satisfactory. Aa
a rule this country Is able to export
feom three to four million quintals,
but the product# of 1877 will more than
doable that surplus. We may add
that, In other reepeeta, the past yeer
baa been a profitable one to the Hun
garian agrioulturiit, nearly all aorta of
min giving returns far above the av*
efeftge. We oome now to Buaela, the
great rival of the United States, ae a
purveyor of grain, and herajreflnd
marked variance of results according
to looallties. In tbe plains ot the Vis
tula, and generally within the limits of
Russian Poland, the yield of wheat
shows a decline of feom ten to fifteen
yer cent, below ordinary years.
Throughogt central and southern Rus
sia, on the other hand, the wheat crop
Is excellent, and presents over tbe re
turns of 1876 no excess ot twenty-five
per oent. A marked falling off; how
ever, la observed in the yield of barley
and onto.
Bach is the reoord of 1877 for most
of the grain-producing countries of
Europe. In the United States th* har
vests of the year are on the whole emi
nently satisfactory. Thus our jWd of
wheat, which In 1876 was 256,000,000
bushels, rose last season to 825,000,000.

increase during the next five or six
months, and that the mtoting situa
