Tits Corodc Investigating Committee, Tho moat disgraceful exhibition of the depths to’which partizan malignity can descend is the investigation now going on by the Coyodo Committee of tho House of Representatives. What a spectacle it presents to 1 the country of thb recklessness of faction, and tho meanness 6f unscrupulous partizan warfare 1 The pop ular branch of tho government appoints a committee, to do what ? To investigate upbn charges of official misconduct against the Chief Magistrate of tho country which would subject hun to impeachment ? Does it pro-, pdso to lay bare any supposed acts of execu tive corruption, in violation of the oath of his office ? Does it pretend to proceed on proper information, and by legal and constitutional means, to protect tho rights of tho people against executive usurpation or abuse of pow er? Nothing of tho kind. Not one of these allegations is made by any responsible or re spectable member of Congress. Not one of these tilings is the, President believed to bo guilty of by those who have appointed the committees. The whole investigation is but a political trick*, resorted to for the purpose of operating upon tho Presidential election. For a,■purpose like this, is tho country disgraced by tho hitherto unheard-of act of appointing a committee, to search for something upon which some public accusation can be made, against the man the people thought worthy to place at the head of the nation. tiq of this act, the committee are authorized to proceed, like eavesdropping pimps, to search every man’s pocket who, by official or friendly relation with the President, is suspected of having “discontented, papers,” likely to in volve tho executive, by strained inference, in some political dereliction qf duty. All the political profligates who have been properly turned out of office for misconduct or incapa city, or who have been baffled in their ambi tious aspirations, arc invited to conic forward and betray the secrets reposed in them in the necessary confidence of official connection, or pf friendly political intercourse. Tho mani fest purpose of tho whole investigation is to heap disgrace upon the President as the head ofa groat political party. And ns they black en and defame his public life, which has stood prominent for its integrity and purity for so many years, to damage and destroy the party which has elevated him to the chief position in tho country. , > - , The Covode committee has now been sitting ibr weeks,, trying, to pump evidence from wil ling and unwilling witnesses, tending to crim inate the President and blast his personal and , Eolitical reputation.. So far tho work has eon a" fruitless one. Nothing of a damnato ry character has yet been reached—nothing raked' out front old. letters or voluntary reveal ing# of private and' confidential communica tions which, tends in the-least to iinplioate tho' President in the- abuses which prevail, and always have- and always will prevail, at Wash ington, while there is money to distribute in public service or jobs to secure by personal impunity and liberal promises to divide the spoils; Money has and always, will ho used for electioneering purposes. N° party is free from doing so, and no party could carry on a political campaign without it. If it is the voluntary contributions of individuals it id nobody’s business, unless it is used in an ille gal way- There is enough unsornpulousness among politicians of nil parties to. use both public office and public money to promote the end which all arc seeking—-public place. But no sane- individual believes that tho man who holds the first office in the country, and whose personal and official reputation has hitherto stood unblemished, would betray his own an tecedents and tho confidence reposed in him by the nation, to misuse his office for the ben efit of bis fnonds r political or personal. So for, the worst complaints against Mr. Buchan an come from those who ware 1 his* pretended personal and political' friends, leading to an inference the very reverse of the impression that they would like to fix upon tho public mind. If Mr. Buchanan could have been used by them, .would they have ever quarreled with him.— Public Ledger. Remarkable Escape from , the Apache Indians.— A Mrs. John Pago was some time , since, carried away from her home in Arizona by the Apache Indians, who, being closely pursued by the whites, rather than surrender their prisoner, lanced her in several places and left her for dead. At the same time the poor woman was suffering severely from fever and ague. Notwithstanding her disease and injuries, however, she managed to creep away from the place whore she had been left, bound np her wounds, and managed to sustain life by roots untir she arrived at a white settle ment, A move wonderful escape has rarely happened. 0“ Speaking of the Potter and Pryor af fair, the Washington Star says: “ Col. Lan der is a native and citizen of Massachusetts, but has spent some years on the extreme ' Western frontier, where he has been profes sionally engaged as civil engineer. Political ly he is a vety emphatic pro-slavery Demo crat, and the fact that he .is the cousin of Mr. Potter’s wife we take for granted, is the rea son why he, was found acting in the matter in Sir.'P’s. behalf.” ■Blooming in the Grave.— A mctalic cof fin, containing the body of a young lady who had boon buried more than four years, was lately opened in Memphis, Tennessee. The body was in an excellent state of preservation —the hair, particularly, was very life-like, and 1 what was more astonishing, a full blown camellia, japonica; which some affectionate hand had twined in the tresses of the girl, was remarkably fresh looking, the leaves retain ing, their, soft greenish hue to perfection. Forgery.— A person, in the employ ol Mrs. Elizabeth Sprenger, of Law rence Spellman, lately presented a check for SlOO at the counter of the Inland Insurance &' Deposit Company, and obtained the money.— The' cheek purported to be drawn by Mrs. Sprenger, but was subsequently ascertained to bo a forgery. Spellman, soon after getting the money, left for parts unknown, and has not been heard of since. Deceased. —Lawrence Johnson, E'sq., the well known typo founder and storeotyper, died at his residence, in Philadelphia, on Thursday last. Mr. J. was about sixty years of age;, a man of strict integrity, ana universally re spected. He had accumulated wealth by in dustry and strict integrity, and was the bene fhetor of. hundreds of young men who have oommonced 1 life without means. The craft has lost oho of its brightest ornaments. a jubilee at Bayton’s.,factory, in North Adame, Massachusetts, week before last, Mr. Barton remarked that when ho open ed his mill, in 1832, wages for girls were 42 cents a week, and calico cost one dollar a yard; now some of his girls earn six. dollars a week, and- calico is sold for eight cents a yard..
