State Senator 23. It. Wilson and Holly Austin, of Madison, who have been experimenting on tho best way to rid potatoes of their worst enemies, the Colorado beetle, have hit upon a simple and successful plan, which at once clears the plants of the bug;?. It is to sprinkle the plants with bone dust, an 3 put a pinch at the roots when the sun is at its height, as it will not do to put the bone dust on the plants when damp with dew or rain, as they will shrink. The bone dust improves the yield also. Last Friday Prof. Campbell, of Wa

In the Assembly Mr. Patterson called up his resolution for the adjournment of the Legislature sine die on the

10th mst. ... The Speaker decided that the resolu

tion was a privileged one, and in order. Mr, Patterson read the law of Con

not in conllicti with that Jaw.

Mr. Alvord hoped that not a single

Republican would vote for the resolution. Mr. Condon also opposed the resolu

Mr. Bradley rose to a question of

privilege and seated that ho had re

ceived $2,500 to pay him if he would vole for Chaunoey M. Depew instead of Piatt, which sum he had handed over to the Speaker. Ho, therefore, asked for .a commi ttee of investigation. The Speaker corroborated the" statement, and said he had the money in hie. pocket, Mr. Alvord suggested that tho money had come from the other side. The Chair stated that the question was on the appointmant of a committee on in vestigati on. Mr. Brooks hoped the committee would be appointed, attended by a stenographer and the Sergeant-at-Arms, and have power to send for persons and. papers. The resolution for a committee of investigation was adopted unanimously. Mr. Russell moved that this committee have power to ex tend their jurisdiction to any other similar case. Mi. Brooks thought that 1 'sufficient to the day is the evil thereof." When a similar case is presented, it could be acted upon. Mr. Baker It was true that but one case had been brought to the surface here, but accusations of a like character had been made, and it seemed to him proper to provide for all. Mr. Hickman said it had been broadly charged, in the newspapers that inoney has been and is being used; He therefore wanted the whole matter investigated. Mr. Low read the Loekport .Daily Union that he could have received from 510,000 to $20,000 for his vote at anytime. He branded that statement "false as hell," and. demanded a full investigation. He also said he had heard that one member who had voted for Roscoe Conkling had been influenced improperly. He wanted thet charge investigated. .Mr. Grasper said he heard that a member was offered $o, 000 to vote for the defeat of the Oleomargarine MIL He denounced the statement false. He said he was told he would get something if he would sign the caucus call, but there was not money enough in the,state to induce him to sign such a call; but he. felt there was something wrong here and he wanted an investigation. . Mi. Beman .said he had heard that money was being used iu this canvas and wanted the charge investigated. Mr. BuBseU's motion, to extend the inquiry to all .other case8, if an y there be, was adopted.

The Chairman announced .the ques

coining out of the DeJavau House last

evening and met Mr. Sessions. We got

into conversation about the Senatorial

question , and he called me out in the

hall. He said: "Can I talk to you?"

I said yes. He said: :I can get you

$1,000 to put in your vest pocket if you

will vote for Chauncey M. Depew tomorrow." I told him. no, and started oil. Having told nim he could find me at my room, I went to the Kenmore. We went into my room and locked the door. Sessions went on to say it would be all nice now if we all from that district voted for the same man . He said ho had S3 , 000 to gie me if 1 would vote for Depew, and 1,000 if Depew is elected. I took the money. He counted it, He left then, and said this is away down deep in the well. I said, (yes, down deep in tho well." I thought it was not bestf. for me to keep the money over night, so I went to And Speaker Sharpe. I found him; told him what had taken place; I gave him the mon ey . Senator Sessions was sworn, and said : I had a conversation with Bradley, as he says, and urged him to vote for Depe w. We have h ad se vera! co nversations on the same topic. Tnere was not a syllable said by either of us about money. I advised Bradley to take care of himself. He said: "I am satisfied my district is against Conkling and Piatt, and that I nave voted for the last time for Piatt. To-morrow I Will vote for Depew.' 1 I congratulated Bradley, and there was no suggestion on my part of money and none on his part.. Senator Sessions desired to ask Bradley whether he had not toJd four different persons before the transaction he referred to took place, that he intended to vote lor Depew, but the committee adjourned till morning without permitting the questions to be pat orj, the answers given. THIS MORNING TESTIMONY. The Special Committee to investigate the alleged Legislative bribery case.

! met again this morning, all the mem

bers being present. Speaker Sharpe, the first witness, was sworn and 'said: I know Samuel H. Bradley. I had an interview with him night before last at the Delavan House, about 9 o'clock, in my room. There was no one present except .Bradley and Mr. Jones, a member of the Republican State Committee. Bradley and Jones came into the room together and Bradley said he had an important thing to say to me. Ho said he had been approached a little while ago and was oflered money to vote for Depew. I asked him if he had the money. He said yes ; he was given the money. He then said he wanted me to take it. I asked him why, and he said that, as chief oflicer of the House, he preferred to give it to me. He said he was in doubt whether to make a statement in the House or in joint convention. He wanted my advice, anu I did not want to give it. My impression is that he asked Jones whether he should tell who gave ... it to him. He told me it was a Senator from his district, Sessions. He then gave me the money. I counted it;, there. were 2,000; three $500 and " ten S50 bills. (The Speaker here handed over the money to the Chairman of the committee.) I put the money in that envelope, and put it in my pocket. I counted the money again before I went to bed and counted it again in the morning. I carefully examined the bills. These are the same bills. There

three $500 Treasury notes. The

There was no- reason for Bradley to think that I was in the room from .7 to 9. I was in the room receiving persons. It was known ax the hotel I was there. 1 was not there especially to receive Bradley. Mr. Peckham inquired what decision the committee had reached 83 to counsel for Senator Sessions. The Chairman The committee has no counsel. ,, : . -, Mr. Skinner said the committee had decided to allow counsel. Mr. Peckham cross-examined Speaker Sharpe. I did not give Bradley any

advise; telling him. that whiio I did not want to take the money, still I thought he had the right to leave it with me. When I took the money I asked him if he had mingled the money with any other. He said he hfto-nojv Ho asked Jones if he had ought to tell whom he had received the money, and I think Jones told him he ought to. Bradley then said it was the Senator from his district, Sessions. He then asked me if I would recognize him on the floor in the Assembly next day. He asked when it. would be io order, and I told him any time. I did not advise him to see Sessions in the the morning. I did not see him again until I saw him in the House. The room where the interview took place was General Arthur's room. I was thore receiving callers. Brail ley and Jones were the only ones in the room at the lime, and they, staid only five or ten minutes. I was at Vice President Arthur's rooms simolv to receive calls.

?6ne of the most heart-rending cases

that ever came under my notice," said

a ireii-KllOWn pliysiCstn, "wascqaiioi a man whose death could jiotafTiCt.his

relations, because, he had none; but.

the manner of his dying was so awnu

that it was a call upon humanity for sorrow. He was a young fellow, who,

at the breaking out oi tlie war, when he was twenty years old, enlisted and fought with courage under Confederate ban nets. His srallan try was so marked

that he was promoted from the ranks and became a captain, with the pros-, pect of further advancement a3 the war progressed. . In the terrible warfare about Nashville in the winter of 186 he was exposed to the raias and eolds, and contracted inflammatory rheumatism, from which ho never recovered, and which caused his resignation, He returned to his home a miserable creature, and never was able afterward to walk. For fifteen long years he was dying as slowly and surely, and with as much torture, as the mosc. refined cruelties of human invention might have produced. Do you know what ! inflammatory rheumatism is? No? Will; imagine that you were lying perfectly still, with not a muscle in play, and the most excruciating pains shooting like barbed hooks through every limb and joint. You try, in the delirium, of agony, to assume another position. . The mere movement of a joint is such an awlul cruelty that the' rack: is an infant horror by the side of it. rJ?he inflammation seems to have tuned every nerve and . muscle i;o the most delicate pitch of sensibility , and if each

nerve in tne oouy were- oarea ana xorn oimultaneously, tho pain could not be greater. Moments become hours, and hours become ages of suffering. Imagine these tortures prolonged through fifteen years of time, every year dragging out like a century, and you can picture to yourself what his fife was. Opiates? Of course , opiates were administered but what of the moments when the influence had waned, and when, rushrag upon him like wolves of torture made ravenous by hunger, the pains broke through the veil of insensibility and tugged : ajr his frame with teetn of cruelty? The very immunity Which opium gave, added another horror when it was withdrawn. He was kept uuder its influence as much as possible; In nine years he

had lost every po wer of m oscular effort, and sat in his cbair a living

cropse, only to bo' moved to his bed,

where he became a mummy with the

spark of life still glowing. Tho time shortly came when he no longer lay in his bed, but, sitting in

his invalid chair, became the enthroned

embodiment of a soul too miserable- for life teo sacred to he freed by other bauds. If there were in the sphinx of Efypt an immorcal soul and a human

intelligence, can you fancy its torture?

Xav after day looking upon the same

Die to a living persecutor, do ne saiy year after year, with his muscles Jixed in-iron, his eyes looking upon a world as dreary as misery could paint it; his voice sinking in his throat, only to be expelled by hunted nature in wild and piteous cries when the pain racked into hopeless cowardice the strong .heart that Pad led his mev up to the -dreadful caverns of cannons1 mouths without a flinch. But there came a time when the restless days and nights-. of active torture became fr him as a delightful reminiscence. The time came slowly and like eternity. If you were to confine a man and let a drop of water fall on his head every fiveminutes,itwould kill him. Buts before death, would come years of suspense that would" move like the change of the fixed statu There would come that awlul suspense of time when the pitiless drop (wou:ld fall like the crash of a universe upon the doomed head.

What tortures took place u nder the . drawn curtain of that humarf mystery can no more be told than the secrets o f those horrors in the lowest dungeons of the Inquisition. Death came, but it was like the tiding of the mist-line into the clouds, and as we stood about that chair no one dared to utter his thought no one could hill whether the soul still lurked in its prison, or whether death was life, or life was death.
