Oct. 2I.-The Democratic committee has just successfully closed one of the most interesting controversies of the campaign. Gen. Joseph Wheeler, n representative from Alabama, having quoted in sporehes delivered in congress in 1800 aud 1802 a shocking editorial of the National ll'-publieau published Thnrsdny, Jnlr 8, 1S80. the Republican* resorted to the desperate expedient of denying the exlstem-e of such n paper nt the date in question, and declaring Wheeler’s speeches to include forgery. The congressional committee prodnros a fso simile of the Nstiouni Republican containing the article quoted by Ucn- Whcelcr and also a certificate of seven leading eidsrns of Washington verifying the reproduction.
