Tho nioomjburg Columbian, in critlcilng the remark of the Williumsport Mull tin should stick to the truth.

Queer notions of history obtain even in this young country. Gov.

For tunately, however, for Columbia county her history has been written by a gentleman of excellent literary ability, and whose name is well known throughout the State. We refer to Hon. John G.

His history will soon appear, and will be found to bo well written and entirely correct.

A number of patriotic, stay-at-home Re publicans having called the loyalty(?) of Mr. Randall in question, we beg leave to submit to them a letter from him, while a soldier in the service of his country, to Col. ThomasA Scott, then Assistant Secretary of War, in favor of the promotion of Col. Geo. II. Thomas, who subsequently became a De partment commandsr and leading general in the Federal Army : Sandy Hook, Md., Aug. 3, 18G1. Friend Scott : I hear vou are tho Assis taut Secretary of War. Rest assured that no man delights more in your high promo tion tnan i uo. I notice the Government is now consider ing the appointment of proper persons to be brigadiers general. In the name of God let them be men fully competent to discharge the duties of tho positions to which thev may be assigned. Inefficiency is the evil of the hour. My opinion is based upon an ob servation of nearly three months. Most of the time in fact, nearly all the time we have been under the command of Colonel George H. Thomas, now command ing one of the brigades here. Ho is thor oughly competent to be brigadier general, has the confidence of every man in his com mand, for the reason that they recognize and appreciate capacity, which, to them, in every hour of the day, is so essential to their safety. Now. let me, as a friend of this Adminis tration in so far as this war is concerned, and the preservation of this Union is involv ed, urge upon General Cameron to select Colonel Thomas ns oue of the number of proposed brigadiers. His appointment would give renewed vigor and courage to this section of the army. I am, as you perhaps know, a private in the First City Cavalry of Philadelphia, and I never saw Colonel Thomas until 1 saw him on parade, and our intercourse has been only such as exists between a colonel and one of his Boldiers, hence you can see my commen dation comes from pure motives and is en tirely free Irom social or political considera tions. I speak for and write in behalf of tho brave men who, in this hour of our country'? peril, aro coming forward and endangering their own lives, and, perhaps, leaving thoso most dear to them without a support. I write warmly because I think I know the necessity of the cane. You will do tho country a service by giving my letter a seri ous consideration. I hope to be in Wash ington some time about the let of Septem ber, when I shall try and see you. Will you pleaso present my regards to General Cameron, and, if he has tlmo to read this letter, hand it to him. Yours truly, Samuel J; Randall. Hon. T. A. Scott. The band is well arranged. Wherever three or fon scoundrels wcro gathered to getlier in Grant's name, there he was in the midst of them, in the persons of a brother, brother-in-law, cousin, or friend. No Cus torn house or Whisky Ring could divide its plunder without the Devil being present to cry "Halves I" The ubiquitous Asmodeus, as Murphy in New York or as Casey In New Orleans, filled his fathomless pockets, and wherever the White House casts its shad ow a brother Orvil or a brother-in-law Dent came forth out of It with extended palms, If Shepherd and ISabcock could make their hundreds of thousands out of the District Ring, and Helknap scarcely less out of a slnglo Department, how shall we estimate the probable total sum ground out of tho toiling citizens nnd tax-payers of tho coun try during eight long years, by the well-or ganized band created by that nepotism of the White House which has thrown the chief patronage of tho Administration into their dirty handsf Cat! Schurs, in the Wat tiche Jt. Some of the papers thinks it very funny that the President, in his veto message, speaks of his salary and that of Congress men as fixed by the Constitution. They ought to know Grant too well by this time to be surprised at this. Why should he know anything about the Constitution? That's not the kind of President he is. There is an old German proverb to the effect that a great war leaves tho country with three armies au army of cripples, an urmy of mourner! and an army of thieve, "lis true, 'ti litj ; pity 'Us, 'tis true." TDK ROOM DILL. Tho Itouso of Representatives lias finally concluded to again Bend tho bill reducing tho boomago charges of tho Susquehanna Itoom Co. to tho Senate. 1 hey lmvi em- eluded that not to do so would bo n triumph for llerdio and tho monopoly, nnd that the bill Is Jmt and proper in itself. As to tho evidence beforo tho commlttco our readers aro mainly concerned In that of Its own Representatives. Tho death of Mr. Ryan prevented tho commlttco from taking his testimony, but in no way is his name disgracefully connected with tho subject. In justico to Mr. Mcllenry, wo give his testimony In full below! Q. Aro you a member of tho present llouso of Representatives of Pennsylvania? A. I am, yes, sir. Q. From what county? A. Columbia. i. Do you know of money or other cor rupt or improper means being used, or pro posed to be ued, to secure or prevent tho passage of Senate bill No. 21, entitled "An act to regulate tho amount of toll and other charges to be laid nnd collected by boom companies within this Commonwealth 1" A. Well, I was npproached during the pnsago of this bill i I cannot say I wa otl'ered mon ey particularly j he as much as inferred that if I would change my views I would bo re compensed for it. (J,. Tell us what was said and what was done? A. It was In tho llouso and I was in my seat, and the gentleman approached mo and asked mo to change my views on that question ; I told him I did not feel like do ing so and gave my reasons, and ho insisted very strongly and he then said if I remem ber his language that if I would agree to change my views I could be recompensed for doing so. Q. At what time was it that he camo to you? A. It was previous to the passage on second reading I think the morning that it passed second reading. Q. lie came to you at your own desk? A. Yes. Q Wanted you to voto against tho bill? A. Ye. Q. Did ho say how you would bo rccom pened? A. No, sir; I think that was his language. I told him there was no uso in talking any longer ; ho laughed. Q. Who was R? A. J. C. Ammerman, the former member the gentleman who was a former member. Q. In 1874? "A. Yes, sir. Q. How long had you known him? A. Well, I do not know as I could answer that question ; probably six or eight years at least. Q Did he tell in what mnnner you would bo recompensed? A. No, sir; I think not. Q. Did ho tell you how much you would get? No, sir; not to my recollection. Q. Did ho say who would recompense you? A. No, sir; I do not think he did. Q. Did he say when you would get it? A. No, sir ; not that I remember. Q. Did ho propose anything about dodg ing? A. No; I think his question was to vote. Q. Did he say anything to vou about an amendment to "tho bill ? A. Yes, ho did ; uu ttisuuu ..it; w !!., ..tuciiiicteiit rais ing the boomago to one dollar and twelve cents and a half; he said lit would like to get such an amendment, and wanted me to support that. Q. Did ho say anything about fighting fire with fire? A. No, sir; 1 think not. Q. Did ho say anything nbout lumbermen using any money to secure the passage of the bill? A. I think not; uot that I recollect of; no, sir. Q. Did you have any more than this con versation with him ill legard .to this bill? A. Yes; he was to mo previous to that; I cannot remember what the conversation was then, though. Q. What was it about? A. There was a conversation took place between us with re gard to tlieljill ; it strikes mo it was before it passed on first reading; it was early in the session ; there was nothing of this kind ; no money mentioned then, but ho was mix ious for me to opposo the bill at that time. Q. Do you know of any money or other valuable thing, having been oflered,given or promised to any member of the Legislature or rennsyivania, to induce mm to vote Jor, against, or to withhold his vote on said bill. It so, what? By whom? A. Nothing fur ther than what I have related, sir. Q. Can you give this cominittco any fur ther information upou tho matter they are now investigating? A. No, sir, I think not. Q. Have any of the lumbermen ever spoken to you about the bill ? A. Oh, yes, sir. Q. Who? A. AVhy Colonel Kmbick and these other gentlemen ISeck and Urown. Q. Whero did vou see Mr. Beck? A. Mr. Beck, I saw him in the House. Q. This year? A. I think so, yes,sir, Q. Did he speak to you about it In the House? A. Now, I cannot say positively that he did ; we talked about it frequently. Q. Did you ever talk with him nbout it down to the State Capital Hotel ? A. No, sir; I think not. Q. Did any of the boom men have any talk to you about the bill ? A. Not to tho best of my recollection. 0.. Did Hcrdic ever have anv talk with you about it? A. Iam not very well ac quainted with Mr. Herdic; I know him and that is about all. Still another charge is tniule against poor, fallen Uabcock, and it is about the worst yet. The New Orleans Democrat squarely asserts that the appointment and confirma tion of tho infamous Billings as District Judge to succeed Durell was brought about on a strictly cash basis by rt ring, of which the chief members were Senator West, Bab cock and Porter. Billings is said to have ottered $45,000 for tho placo to Brother-in- law Casey, who communicated the proposi tion to Bibcock and Porter. The latter are represented as eagerly undertaking the job, while Casey, frightened by tho numerous in vestigations then just beginning, backed out. Tho others went ahead, and the appoint ment was made. The story is very circum stantially told, but needs confirmation. Col. Forney's lress styles tho congression al investigating committees "the machinery of detraction." Tho venerable and consis tent editor had a different opinion of the "smelling committee ' of the lamented John Covode, which did such u tremendous busi ness in the way of detraction on much small er capital than that on which the present investigations are operating. Covodo's chickens are only coming home to roost, but the flock has greatly increased and they aro all great, tall, full-fledged roosters. Patriot. The vituperative attacks made upon ex Oovcrnor Curtin by numerous small organs aro thus noticed by the Mauch Chunk Dem ocrat : "A number of petty two-penney papers in Pennsylvania think they aro smart when they abuse ex-Governor Curtin. Only a few years ago the publishers of these same papers were the most abject toadies to tho ex- Governor, and were glad to rank nmong his admirers. Because Mr. Curtin disowns Gr&ntism and Cameronlsm he is maligned and traduced. Catarrh Is a common disease so common that snuffing, spitting and blowing of tho nose, meet us at every turn on tho street. Your foot slips in these nasty discharges on the sidewalk and iu the public conveyances ; and its disagreeable odor, contaminating tho breath of tho afllicted, renders them offen sive to their associates. There is tho high est medical authority for stating that with fully one half, if not two-thirds of those afllicted with Consumption of the Lungs, tho disease commences as Catarrh in the nose or head, the next step being to the throat and bronchial tubes lastly to the lungs.

Of tlieo tho most important in my view was the decision of JiulRO uariter in tho Kllbourn cuso. t have already exp aiu ed hilly llirt ciime of Kilbourn's Imprison ment and the tn.inncr of ills being taken from the etntmly of tho llouso of Kepresen tatives by a w ri't of Habeas Corpus mid car ried boforo Juii Cutter. It was generally opposed that when tho cao was tried, the Judgo would base enough retard lor tho law to examine only into tho validity of tho or der under which ICllbourn was held, nod not lo question tho ri.ht of the llouso to hold him for contempt'. It Inn been n preroga tive of courts Irom tlmo Immemorial to pro tect themselves by jiinilshln.? those who re fused to obey their mandates nnd other courts wcro not permitted to interfere with this right, even bv the writ of Habeas Cor pus; all Hie otuer decisions iiuviug ueen uiai Wlioro IIIO prisoner was ueiti lur uuiiiuiii'i, upon a legal order tho court idono wlileli is sued that order could revoke It. A commlt tco of Congress, sitting as a court of Inqui ry, asked n question which Kllbourn refused to answer, and for that refusal was sent to jail by tho House, aud now Judgo Cartter has released him. This decision, If the llouso submits to it, deprives tho House of nil power to conduct nn investigation, anil that is the reason it teas made. The Admin istration lias adopted nnother measure to cripplo tho investigations. Tho heads of the departments refuso to furnish tho original papers asked for iu any case. They say they nro mado custodians of theso papers anil they will not trust them in tho hands of committee but will furnish copies. Tills will cause delays, as tho paper called for in soino eaes are voluminous, requiring n long time to preparo copies, and will entirely de feat tho object of tlio investigation in others, as tho inquiry and examination of tho origi nals mlglit,aud In some instances it is known would, reveal that signatures had been forg ed. But the investigations must be stopped, i tho order, If thero i any possible way of doing so, aud honco tho decision of Judge Cartter and tho order to deliver no papers. Secretary Bristow has been investigated nnd "ho is on a high horse," a the western men say. lie proposes to dictate to tho committee what it shall do,aud to investigate it, and talks of redress outsido of the room when ho cannot have hi way iu it. I do not believe thero is anything in the charge, but Secretary Bristow's manncrof defending himself does not add to his reputation. Charges are mado that Senator Morton was guilty of misappropriating money while Governor of Indiana, and you are already familiar with the charge against Blaine iu regard to the railroad bonds. As Cunkling is tho recognized candidate of the Adniinis tion, and Blaine, Bristow and Morton are his principal competitors, it doe look a lit tle a if Uonkling's friend wero trying to kill off his oppooents, and whispers are made that these efforts come from his friends. The legislative, judicial and executive bill passed the House on Friday substantially as the cotnmitteo reported it, and if adopted by tho Senato make a savins of six millions of dollars from tho expenditures for the fis cal year ending the lirst day ot next July. But it is well understood that the Senate will take the saino course wijli ibis K"' 7 have Willi the other appropriation bills, and the prospects are that on the first of July thero will bo no money in the Treasury ap propriated to any purpose but pensions. A the Secretary cannot payout a dollar until Congress makes an appropriation the result will bo that all the departments must -top work. The courts will be closed, anil all the employees of the government will be dis charged, and all because Republican Sena tors are determined to usurp power conferred by tho Constitution on the llouso of Repre sentatives. It i rumored at this writing that the committee has summoned Kilbourn before it aud will ask him the same ques tions he formerly refused to answer, proceed ing against him again for contempt if he re fuses to answer. I doubt this, for the action of the court was referred to the Judiciary Committee, with directions to report on Tuesday. A new bill proposing to lend tbu Texas A Pacific road JJSo.OOO per mile in greenbacks instead of guaranteeing tho in terest on its bonds will bo introduced soon. This bill ought to satisfy all who are in fa vor of inflation. I havo not seen the bill yet, but am told it offers every guarantee for the repayment ot the money. iir.xo. Communicated rronTtLe state Capitol. IlAnniSBuna, May 2nd, 1S70. In your last news from the State Capitol, your readers wero given a synopsis of the re port of tho itoom Investigating Committee in which charges were preferred airainst Pe- troff and Lynott, members of the House then, but members uo longer. From the report of tho committee on Mon day the whole of the last week with tho ex ception of Tuesday was consumed by the House in attempting to find a way out ot the intricate labyrinth into which it had been led. Ono day the Houso could have been seen in the position of trying to resolve itself into a high court of impeachment. The next in trying to send the matter back to tho committeo with instructions to do their work over again, and tho coup de grace of the week's work, on Friday, was tending the boom bill back to the Senate and asking the speaker of that body to sign and trans mit it to tho governor before it had been purged of the corruption which surrounded it and before oven any definite, action iu that direction had been taken. On Monday morning alter a quiet Sunday for cogitation, the House resumed the con sideration of the matter with a seeming clearer insight into tho "truo inwardness" of tho conduct of its misguided members, than had nt any time theretofore been man ifested. A resolution embodying the expul sion of Representatives Petroff and Lynott "for conduct unbecoming a member" was proposed by Mr. Hays Chairman of the inves tigating committeo and an attempt mado by him to iutroduco it. The friends of Petroff however insisted on their right to a trial be foro the bar of the House, and the resolution was consequently withdrawn for this pur pose. A hearing was accorded to Mr. Petroff through his counsel J. Alex. Simpson Esq. Messrs Wolfe, Hays aud Christy wcro ap pointed managers of the case on the part of the House. This trial to speak of it truthfully was nothing but a farco. It consisted cbiefiv of a rehashing of tho testimony of Capt. Skin ner, Journal Clerk, and that of Petroff him self. An opportunity was then given to the counsel of Petroff to get off nn argument founded on the lame premises that Petroff was a legislative reformer who started into this business for tho purpose of exposing the lobby for tho bill. A fine chnnee was also given to Wolfe et al to get off high bounding speeches on tho spread-eanle Btvle. when after a tiresome session lasting late into the evening a voto upon tho resolution of expul sion was reached and by a two-thirds voto of all present Mr. Petroff was declared ex pelled from his seat as a member of the House of Representatives. This morning tho trial of Lynott was next in order. A rumor afloat, that ho Intended if possible, to ovado expulsion by resigning, promptly drew from tho indefatigablo Hays Chairman of the Investigating tribunal, at the opening of tho morning session, a res olution of expulsion. It then transpired that the resignation of Mr. Lynott was ac tually In tho hands of the speaker, and per sistent efforts were made by his counsel Mr. Stanton to havo it read beforo action was taken on tho resolution. This falling tho defense abandoned their case, and with drawing, allowed tho resolution of expulsion to pass uncontested, when Mr. Lynott was also declared expelled from his seat as a member of the House. Then followed the resignation of Journal Clerk Skinner nnd its acceptance by chief uiert wooicvcr wnose appointco Skinner was. Tho House having no jurisdiction in the matter this action could not bo present ed. Having thus summarily disposed of the Loom question the House settled down to business and passed a number of bills up on third reading, the first work of the kind for a week. It now remains with the Senato to finally disposed of this disgraceful boom business. At the request of Senator Boyer it lias ap pointed a subcommittee to report upon the case of that gentleman. Further action with regard to Mr, Hover Is suspended until that committeo is heard from. The boom bill bring sent to the Senate this morning lor tho signaturo nl the speak er it question was raised that It could not bo received, aud this is the question which now agitates the minds of learned Senators. Its discussion was entered into to day and will be resumed to morrow.
