ThKAT TiuNK. That trunk of Beckrogo, tillo< with wedding paraplanalia inl th< shape of cigars, pochos, .-hoeo and champagne, is still the sil joct of controversy, commont anld invest.igntion. Tho fate of that trunk is a warning to young mon of extravaganit, ideas about matri Ioniiil affairs and wedding proco duro. The owner little droamed that it would ho the cause of Oxo cutive anxiety and. conflict of Stato and Foderal jurisdiction. It will probably never stop m its misch ievolis courso until it in volvos all parties concerned im political turmoil and coniftsioni. The newspapers are divide(d in opimion and the Attornoy General is pushiiing the investigation to the neglect of all matters of less iliportance. Governor E llerbc has ordered tho invest igation arn wants thn light. to shmo in dart places, even in tho alleged "darl closot." Govelnoir E lre'Ie is righ an(d if tho aftairs at the Stat dis. Penlsarii . 11y Il not coiducted faith fully and honestly, the peoph should himw it and the remneldy up plied without, fear, faivor ()tr alYoc tionl, and if thero is iothiilg in this hue and cry, it should be mado known. It has b eel h in tod tit every thing will bo silont, inl a few daiys. This may mean lhat the niiveisti will not he conducted with a view to al honest disCovf ry ()f truth, or that enough has been found out to show that. there is nothing inl the matter, besides politicMl clap. trill). Govern'ior Ellerho owes it to himself nild the )e(ilei who elee ted him to pu1sh the invest igationii and how to the line, let hips fall ,where they may. The disp'nsary business las Over divided the peo ple and it should stand or f..1ll oil its merits, so if there is anyt hing wrong at hiod qu(lcar'ters it sld hi receive inmediaice anld vigor'ous treatment, leni!ng no( r'ooml for cr iticism f'rom. the0w ~ oppoenits of' Fr'om, Liberty.
