New York, March 10, ISTG. THE HE ST OF ALL CHARITIES. As there are poor people every wbcre wuo must be relieved. 1 am going to give your readers the nieth od of work adopted by the most use ful and effective chnrity in the world. St. John's Guild is a body of men rw! n-nmin in tlita oirv firr?ani7fH ri.comracnd deserving" people, and on their recommendation visitors call and ascertain tbe exact circumstanc es. Tbey pet tbe number of tbe fam ily, its earnings, and what they most need. Then tbe bead gets a ticket and on presentation, a ticket is issued on which they can draw rations once a week The Guild has an immense warehonse'on Varick St., which is filled with mets, floor, groceries, and medicines, all of which they buy at prime cost, and 5,000 families are wholly, or in part, supplied there- : (rom. x this time 25,000 persons j arc living on tbis charity, and there j not an unworthy person among them. Everyone has to give a ref erence before an ounce is drawn, and tbe moment tbat pensioner gets work the supply is stopped. I a summer j their work is mostly caring for tte ! 8lck children. The Guild own the own barge, and have it fitted up for Lscnreionyup the river with children, which tbey give every day. It is a sight to go down to the ware- honse and see the crowds of hungry ! Pple "'rying away their - rations, Last Thursday over 10.000 were j are announced as lectures, and Mon- j a medical discourse, as every odc I took it to 1 on reading it at first glance.

M'BIXrt FASHION'S. The warm weather allows toe greatest latitude in tbe matter of fashions. It is not uncommon to see thick jackets discarded, aud the black Bilk suit worn witn a lace uctiu, or the bead fringe cap of last fall: again, suits in two shades of gray or brown debege, will be tbe first change fjr good, and with these aro over-dresses of soft striped, basket , woven or wool natto cloths, iu large stripes of indefinite shading, or sub dued colors. Checks arc found in all fabricks, wool, silk, cotton, black bnd white, brown and white, blue aud white, but small and modest though clear. The hats for the half season, just before we take to absolutely spring array, are wbitc felts, with colored velvet face trimming, worn with a crape or lace veil of the same shade, folded about tbe Lead, closely, as a slight protection agaiust neural gia while March winds threaten. Tbey will soon be laid aside for tbe soft chip bats, of every shade of tinted-white, pearl- bite, pink-wbite cream-white, to be trimmed with lace scarfs of the exact tint of the straw bat Girls will be glad to hear tbat long polonaises and turbans, tbe old farorites ia dress and head wear, are settled styles for the year to come.

Tbis is somewhat ambiguous, but there can be no doubt as to the meaning. It is a dig at Grant and at Koscoe Conklin, aud a protest against the interference of custom house and Post-office employ ees ia politics. It is a demand for "a throwing overboard of the profession al politicians, and a call for new men to come to tbe front, men not involv' , . .

Mr. Wolfe moved a further amend ment that the name of the Speaker of tbe House be inserted in the bill, instead of tbe Secretary of Internal Affairs, and insisted upon iis amend ment in a lengthy speech. Mr. Plummer replied in a forcible speech, when a motion was made by Speaker Patterson (Mr. Faunce ia tbe chair) that tbe House go into Committee ot the Whole to insert tbe amendment regarding the Secre tary of Internal Affairs. The Re publicans icfused to vote, but were forced to do so by a call of the House. Tbe amendment was inserted and the bill passed third reading.

Bills Passed Finally To prevent fraud and fraudulent practices upon or by hotel keepers and boarding house keepers. Mr. Talley submitted'a resolution proving for a joint legislative rule giving the Speaker of tbe House pre cedent iu signing engrossed bills. Tbe immediate cause of the resolu tion was tbe question which has hero raised between the two Houses as to which of tbe Speakers should first append bis signature to bills which have passed both Houses. Although custom bas uniformly conceded this precedence to the Speaker of the House, tbere is, it seems, no fixed rule on the subject, and tbis Mr. Tal ley proposed to establish by his reso lution.

Ma gee, Treasurer of Ottowa county, bad been guilty of extensive specu lating with county funds, J. B. Wright, of Port Clinton, was appoin ted examiner by tbe State Auditor, and ordered to examine into the con dition of the Treasury. Ou the lGtb ult., Wright attempted to take pos session of tbe Treasury under a war rant, but was resisted and forcibly ejected. The examiner theu made a preliminary examination and was subsequently' allowed to 6ee the books, wben it was ascertained that a defalcation of over $2,000 existed. He applied to the Probate Court for a warrant for the arrest of Magee, which was refused, and then be was arraigned betore a justice of the peace at Genoa on a warrant for re sisting the examiner and for embez zlement.

Tbe fact tbat George II. Pendle ton, Samuel Randall, and otber Dem ocratic dignitaries may become in volved in the disclosures now being made at Washington has bad the ef fect to dampen tbe ardor of the in vestigators considerably. This should not be the case, and we bid them go forward with their work, whoever may be implicated. Wheu they Gad a Republican scamp, cleaa him out, and the Republican party will ap plaud the act. When tbey discovtr his Democratic associate tbey must not shrink nor hesitate, but serve him in like manner. "Let no guilty man escape" is an excellent motto still. And while upon this business of! investigation, and stumbling upon these sad exposures, it will not answer for us to fold our hands in despair and say there never was any thing like it. Tbere has been some thing like it, aud the Lieiory of the country is studded thick with as base crimes a tnose now being brought to light. A correspondent of the Washington Star recalls some of these. Auioug them wus'lhe pay ment of tbe celebrated Galpbiu cUiiu, by which tbe Secretary of War, Crawford, wbo made the allowance, received for his owu fees tLe sum of $115,000. And in spite oi the clam or raised he hung on to the money and resigned his ollicc. But he was not impeached.

In 1834 ono XV. P. Harris, who was a Receiver of Public Moneys at Columbus, Miss., was ascertained to be a defaulter ia a large amount. He was nut prosecuted or removed, but in 1836 wrote to President Jack son, resigning, and recommencing a successor, one Gordon D. Byd, who was duly appointed. Tbe sequel, as related by tbe correspondent of the yar, is exceedingly ricb. It was only five months after tbe latter ap pointment wben boyd also was found to be a defaulter. Wben liar ris resigned the Secretary of the Treasury kindly entered on the books the following: "Balance due irom Jir. Harris, ?io'J.i is."

The Failure leaaeeralle MaaV It is difficult to understand why the exposure campaign bas failed to prod J e the expected result. It las been fought too recklessly. The Washiugion offices of tbe Democrat ic newpapvrs bave been converted iuto scaudal bureaus, where every wild aud improbable story of corrup tion ba- been picked up, and expand ed, aud embellirbed, and ib.-n set Iv.rtb for tbe good of . tbe pariy. Tbere bas been lillte or no 'discrimi nation in the use of material. False charges and true, facta and suspicion, rumors and affidavits, have been treated with equal consideration. Because tbe Secretary of War bas been detected in taking a bribe, it is confidently alleged tbat tbe whole Department is a Dest of corruption, and some of the party organs have even called upon the entire Cabinet to resign. Every morcing we bave been warned to look for a fresh explosion before night; the Secretary ot tbe Navy was to be caugbt levying black mail; the President was tu be found in the real-estate pool ; all tbe best known ladies in the White House circle were to be detected selling of fices acd pushing fraudulent claims. Few of these evil predictions have been fulfilled, and tbe failure bas in jured tbe party wbicb made them in two ways; first, it Las brought on the usual reaction which follows a hasty and unreasonable excitement of popular feeling; and secondly, it bas given birth to a suspicion in ma ny cases that tbe Democrats are not pressing the invest gation properly because tbey have come upon tbe tr-ces of Democratic Congressmen in the promised scandal.
