'Wednesday, lYlay 20, 1808, THE sitinEtcv INVESTIGIATEON. Bribery investigations are never very pro fitable. Men who take bribes will,of course, lie to conceal it, and men who give bribes are apt to be cunning enough to avoid detec tion. In past times there have been repeated charges of legislative corruption in this and other States, and so long as the charges are matters of mere popular notoriety, they have often been very direct, tangible and demon strable. But when they have been brought to the test of official investigation they have generally been enveloped in such cleverly-contrived mystification that all research has been baffled, and the corruption so overlaid with the glittering whitewash of perjury that, while the public still knows that the foul sput is there, the bribery goes unpunished and the criminals are permitted to hold up their heads as bravely in the community as if they were innocent men, instead of being rascals who have been too clever to be discovered. The investigation at Washington into the corruption of certain of the seven renegade -.Senators will probably result in the tisual way. Skillful swearing will cover the details of the iniquity, but it will not convince any one of the innocence of men who pretend to have changed their opinions over night, upon an issue to which they were committed by ott-repeated votes and speeches. In the cases of these men the old maxim of law must be reversed, and they must be counted guilty, until they are proved to be innocent. When they can prove that their hands are clean; when Chase and Fessenden and Grimes and Trumbull can prove that no political ambition and no • per sonal spite has controlled their action ; when Henderson and Fowler - and Van- Winkle and Ross, can prove that they fore-swore themselves, and deceived' their colleagues, and insulted their constituents, out of a pure conscience and with clean hands, they will again be counted pure, and not before. The Mana gers may, and probably will, fail to expose the details of the bargains which these men have made, but they have already such a brand across the escutcheon of their fair fame that all time will riot efface. BEAD TLIELYI our. The grand assembly of the Republican party at Chicago comes, opportunely, close upon the heels of the conspiracy at Washing ton. The men who have betrayed their great trust in the Senate Chamber are at once brought face to lace with their constituency. They have changed places with Andrew Johnson, and have opened the door of the prisoner's dock to turn him loose and to take his place themselves. The temper of the vast crowd of earnest men now gathered at Chicago, is the temper of the whole loyal mass of the country, both North and South, and the fiery indignation that bursts from full hearts and eloquent lips, before the crowded audiences of Turner Hall, is but the first flash of the storm that is surging up from the whole circle of the national horizon against the men who have dared to forsake their duty for any price. Doubtless, some of these men when ( they joined the fatal league against the laws and for an unprincipled transgressor of those laws, fancied that they. were too important to the Republican party to be dispensed with. Men clothed with much power are too apt to believe themselve a indispensable. There is no man living in the world, much Jess in Republican America, who is neces sary, either to society at large or to any par ticular cause, and Chicago is teaching this lesson to-day to the men who have done a great wrong in the false security of high station. Not only is it not true that these men are essential to the, Republican party, but it is a fact that the party cannot afford to harbor them. When a leader once loses the confi dence of the rank and file, when the faintest taint of treachery once adheres to him, his influence is forever gone, his presence is hurt fhl,his enmity is far better than his friendship. The Republican party can no longer march under the leadership of these men. If the Democrats have any more work for them to do,let them take them and welcome. Some of them will gladly work in that harness. Some of them will sink away into their proper in significance, dropping out of all public no tice or account. IVL atever becomes of them is of no consequence now to the great party of " American freedom and progress. That they betrayed it once was their own fault ; if they should ever betray it again, it will be our fault. A PRACTICAL -HINT. The gentleman who was kicked down stairs by his friend, "took the hint" and did not go to see him any more. Senator Ross it in the same position at Washington. Sturdy old Ben. Wade, accustomed to call things by their true names, yesterday ordered the disgraced Kansas Senator out of his room and forbade his ever speaking to him again. Ills easy to see Mr. Wade's motive in this decided measure. • He is one of the plain, stern, rugged tiorl that does not make com promises with traitors in the Senate or ut of it. With him, • treason is What Johnson pretended ;t was with him,--odious; and it 12 utterly impossible that men of real, sterling honesty should not feel and express their deep personal contempt and disgust toward these men who have proved so unworthy of reSpect. As we have said More than once, men who make them selves politically corrupt should be as com pletely cut off from all equality and associa-, tion with respectable men as any leper was in old Jewry. Mr. Wade has set a good ex ample with Mr. Ross, and every one of the seven renegades of the Senate, with their ju dicial leader, will feel• its influence as they should. OLD MAN VAUX. The ion. Richard Vaux has come out in a new character ; after playing such leading parts as "Bombastes Purioso," "Tim Blath erskite" and "Peter Partington" upon the Democratic stage, he has changed "his busi ness," and assumed a new role. Like Byron, who was a used-up man at thirty, he .10 "-- is not now That which he has been—and his visions flit Less palpably before him—and the glow Which in his spirit dwelt, is fluttering, faint and low." Richard,it is to be inferred, is also going to give up his indulgence in political acrobatic feats, and his graceful summersaults will no more entertain delighted /Democratic audien ces. Nor yet may we hope to see him more as a manipulator of rhetorical fire-works—a sphere in which he was so well calculated to dazzle and bewilder—particularly the latter. In a word, Mr. Taux is going into the "old man line" in political theatricals; for the future ho is to be the "heavy father" of the Democracy, and he will be expected on all occasions of party feuds to put on a blue coat with shining brass buttons,wear a curly white wig, carry a big ivory-headed cane, and, after hreatening to cut off both belligerents with a shilling, 'bring about a reconciliation, and have the eyes of the audience suffused with briny tears as the curtain goes down to slow and pathetic music. We have Mr. Vaux's own word for-all this, for at a Democratic Convention held yesterday he made a speech on taking Wisest as temporary chairnsan,and in so doing he referred touchingly and feel_ ingly to himself as an "old man in the party who,for twenty-seven years, had attempted to do all in his power for his country and its constitution." We' can imagine the effect of this tender reference of Richard to himself as a sort of a Democratic Wolsey, "an old man broken by the storms of State." How the pathos of the thing must have moved the stern Mc- Mullen to tears and prompted him to a grim resolve that, the Fourth Ward should "do better," and that it should overcome any amount of Republican majority next fall, if there is any virtue in stuffed ballot-boxes and rascally election officers. Isaac Leech, Jr., must have heaved a heavy sob and pledged himself to future official service for the Demo cratic party provided he got any election offi cer stupid enough or rascally enough to give him a certificate of election to an office to which he had never been elected. As for Mr. Albert D Boileau, he must have felt almost as badly as he did when he found him self locked up in Fort Delaware for his trea sonable utterances, and he inwardly grieved as he did, when he penned that famous retrac tion of his past offences and his promise to be a better boy for the future. It is in the natural order of things that "Old man Vaux" will now become gouty; his eyes will distill "thick amber and plum-tree gum;" the "rheumatiz" will assail his limbs; his stiffened fingers no longer will be able to pen a Girard College or an Eastern Peniten tiary report, and those hyperion curls of his will become gray and grizzled. But the voice of this "Old man eloquent" will survive the wreck of the grosser parts of his organization, and when he attains to the ultimate degree of that senility upon which he announces him self as having entered, he will prekent the strange phenomenon of a man who was pre cisely alike in his youthful vigor, his mature manhood and in his declining years,iaasmuch as he will be as he has been, " rox et pre 'UM 71iii Hi" GIRARD COLLEGE. The decision of Judge Read, in the Girard College case, which,we published yesterday, contains many suggestions which should command the serious attention of our citi zens and of the municipal authorities. After deciding adversely to the prayer of the plain tiffs that they should be supplied with funds_' from the trust estate to test the validity of the present management of the College, the Judge refers to two or three very important collat eral subjects. The conduct of the "Decom vire," as he calls the famous ten Directors, is commented on with a severity most justly deserved. As is explained else where in to-day's paper, the original phrase of the Judge was "hasty and impru dent" and not "impudent," as his copyist made it read', but the whole reference to the removal of President Smith is such as to show to Councils and to the Board of Direc tors the estimate in which this matter is held among the highest authorities in the community. It is to be hoped that with the endorsement of the Supreme Court of the State, our friends in Councils will see the way clear to take up and properly dispose of the report of their Investigating Committee which has been allowed to "bang fire" so long in the one branch, after its adoption by the other. Judge Read's comments upon the duplica ion of office in the same hands are entitled to serious consideration. As a general rule, the letter of the law on this subject is complied with, but the spirit of it is constantly broken. In some cases the letter of the law also is openly disregarded, and there are well-known instance 3 of the same individual holding two or three Oise, at once, each one of which can be made very profitable by the manipulation of those skilled in that sort of business. Judge Read urges that such an important trust as that of Girard College should be committed to none but "independent citizens, freed as far as possible from political influences." lie says very truly,,that there should always be "an infusion of practical business 'men, but that there should be a large prop prtion of promi nent ciazens,•who take a deep interest in education and in the management of this no ble charity." It used to be so,in the not very remote "good old days." But in these mod em times, there is too much of this great re- Sponsibility committed to men who only be- come "prominent citizens" by such perform THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN - - - PHILADELPHIA,` WEDNESDAY, MAY 20 1 1868. ances as the "hasty and imprudent removal" of President Smith. • • „ Judge Read also calls attention , to the over crowded condition of Girard College. Ile holds that the funds do not warrant the recep tion of six hundred orphans, and says that it is evident that the funds thus over-taxed are not adequate to keep the College in propel) repair and order. All these suggestions should receive the impartial and careful attention, of Councils, and wherever reforms are possible they should be made, speedily and without fear or favor, having only regard for the honor of Philadelphia and the truest welfare of the or phan boys entrusted , to their care. JUDGE !LEAD'S DECISION.. Judge Read telegraphs us from Harrisburg to the effect that our report of his decision in the Girard College case was' incorrect in re spect to the characterizing the action of the Board as "impudent." Imprudent was the word used,or rather intended to be used by the judge, for his own amanuensis, from whose copy the decision was put in type, wrote the word out clearly enough without the r, which maketrafe important a difference in the mean ing of the sentence. We say this much in simple justice to Judge Read and ourselves. Bunting, Intl%OtOlN & Co., Auction , . ears.

But these, their mean allies from Maine and Illinois, steep the South in murder, from motives which make even treason addition ally contemptible. We beg pardon even of Lee and Davis for associating such despicable crime with theirs, We never supposed Fessenden would vote for impeachment. His associates long ago charged him with such shameless and greedy nepotism as shocked even the corruption of Washington; prostituting his high place to crowd hungry kins men into office. Whether this be true or not; we have no means of knowing. But the Senator whose character wits such that his comrades could even so suspect hint would, 01 course, be wholly unable to stand the pressure of an hour like this. Such a man's speeches are the last source we should resort to for a measure of his motives. We will read his argument the moment any man will show us the slightest reason for supposing that it had the least Influence on his opinion. —Says the London Athenteum: "Why honest people should change their names; We have never been able (as the Americans say) 'to realize.'

SECOND DESPATCH' CHICAGO, May 20.—As early as .o'clock, Crosby's Opera House commenced to fill with delegates, and the scene became very animated. The delegates came In by Mates and took the scats assigned them in the orchestra. The stage was nearly all occupied by represen tatives of the'press, nearly 200 of whom were present. At this hour the canvassing between the dif ferent States for the Vie* Presidential nomina tion is very active. Most of the State delegations held meetings this morning and marked out their course. A ballot of the Indiana delegation for the Vice President resulted in Wade receiving 13 votes, Hamlin 18, Colfax 8, Fenton 8. Mr. Wade's friends are very sanguine that he will be nomi nated on the third ballot. The New 'fork delegation were the last to ar rive. As they entered the Opera House, headed by General Daniel E. Sickles, and preceded by a large AmeriCali flag,enthtuslastic applause greeted them from the assembly. From Washington.

McClintock and John R. Scott, upon condition that they keep the channel cleared out to a depth of 18 feet, in which case they are allowed to charge a tonnage duty on vessels passing through that channel of thirty cents per ton of registered measurement on vessels drawing 14 feet and upwards. They arc allowed eighteen months to comply with the conditions of the bill, and whether the required depth of channel is attained is to be determined by an engineer of the corps of the United States. The Engineer Department aro opposed to the bill, but as the governmvnt has foryears been ap propriating money to improve this channel with. out success, the committee aro disposed to favor the project of the parties who undertake to deepen it for the privilege of charging a specified toll. It isnot intended to ask the House to act on the bill, however, before next session. LAYING OF A CORNAR•STONE The corner-stone of the new Masonic Temple was laid here this afternoon.

No quorum voting the motion did not prevtsil. • Mr. Covode it quired whether gentlemen ab sent on convention business, by leave of the House, could not be counted. The Speaker replied that they had a right to vote before the last name on the roll was called. Otherwise they could not be counted as present. Mr. Washburno (Ili.) said, as there was no quorum to transact business, he moved that the House adjourn. The Speaker laid before the .House a communi cation from the Secretary of the Navy, enclosing copies of all correspondence between the Depart ment and other parties relative to the sale of the Iron-clads Oneoto and Catawba. The papers were appropriately referred. The motion to adjourn was decided in the ne gative—Yeas 83, nays 59. No quorum voted, six members being required to make one. • Mr. Pile moved, but the House refused the call of the House. Mr. Washburne (III.) said that as there was no quorum, he would move that the Housea.djourn until Saturday next in order that the Hall might be placed in summer trim, and with the under standing that no business shall be transacted on Saturday, and the only motion made be to ad journ. This was agreed to by unanimous con sent. Mr. Ingersoll (Ill.), by unanimous consent, made an explanation to the effect that the Chi cago Republican, of Monday, the 18th inst., made an assault upon him of a scandalous and per haps malicious character. The editor, in review ing an article which- appeared in the 'Sunday (Chicago) Tribune, of the day before, said it was not surprising that the Tribune should have re ceived information in advance of other journals of what the vote would be on impeach ment, it having the means of information denied to other journals. That paper charged that he took a sight trip from Washington to Chicago to carry the news. The Republican said It was a very successful visit for the " Trumbull- Grimes plot." By this infamous go-between ho supposed that remark referred to him. That pa per charged that there was a plot between certain parties to secure the acquittal of the President, and that he was in that plot, as was also the Chicago Tribune. He stated that be went to Illinois thirteen days before the verdict on impeachment was given. So far as he was concerned the charge from beginning to end was absolutely and un qualifiedly false. It had not a shadow to rest upon. During the time he was in Chicago he neither met nor conversed with any man con nected with the Tribune, so far as he knew. During the trial of impeachment he never spoke to any Senator with regard to what his view should be, ought to be, or might be. Mr. Ward (N. Y.) offered a resolution, which was adopted, calling on the Secretary of the In terior for information as to whether any of those connected with the Indian Commission have rc.- - caved commissioners' mileage and salaries apart from what they were entitled to as the officers regularly in the employment of the Government. The House at one o'clock adjourned until Saturday. Obituary.

NATIONAL UNION CLUTS.—This , organization, which has heretofore contributed so much to the success of the Republican party, not only in this city, but in the State, has made arrangements for a vigorous prosecution of the coming campaign. In order to better facilitate the workings of the Club, material alterations have been made in the "Club house, No. 1105 Chestnut street. The division between the two parlors has been taken down,which affords additional room and makes a very fine saloon. This parlor apartment is elegantly and comfort ably furnished. Among the many pictures which hang upon its walls are large portraits of Grant, Lincoln and Hamlin, enclosed in magnificent frames. The rooms on the second floor have beta altered in the same manner, and have been converted into a hall for meetings. This hall is large and airy, and is furnished with comfortable benches. Three handsome now chandeliers have been put up. Three, hundred peo ple can be accommodated in this room, but when the doors are thrown open at least five hundred can see and hear the speaker. The other parts of the house have also under gone changes so as to conduce to the comforts and conveniences of the members of the Cletb.li During the coming campaign it is intended to hold meetings at the Club House every Friday evening, at which speeches will be made by distinguished gentlemen in the Republican ranks. These meetings will be inaugurated this week, the first of the series being called for Friday evening next. Governor Geary and Mayor McMichael have accepted the invita tion to deliver the addresses on the occasion. These meetings are not merely intended for the members of the Club, but all who desire to at tend are invited to do so. For these meetings, which 'will no doubt con tribute greatly to the success of the Republican ticket, we are indebted to the activity and energy of John E. Addicks Esq., the President, and the other officers of the'Club. _ FROM NEW YORK. NEW YORK", May 20.—A few days since an im portant meeting was held'ln the city of capital ists and manufacturers—creditors of the Mexican government—with a view to secure an amicable adjustment of their claims, which, it is said, seem as if about to be ignored by the Juarez ad ministration. A committee was appointed to confer with Gen. Sturm, and urge the prosecu tion of the claims before the Mexican Govern ment, or that of the United States, and to take such other steps as they might deem advisable to secure the object in view.

[From the New York Herald. of To-daY. l MAY 19.—The gold market has been moderately firm but quiet to day, and the fluctuations were fro n to 139%. with the closing transactions at 1393-4. The supply of coin was in excess of the borrowing demand, and loans were made at 3 a 5 per cent. for carrying. The gross clearings amounted to 1925,427.000, the gold balances to $1,839,502. and the currency balances to $9.0=616. Tho steamer eirnbria took out $1402930 in specie. the Sub Treasury gold more than a quarter of a million of gold and bought a nearly equal amount of seven-thirty notes. The conversion of seven-thirty notes into five-twenties at the Sub. Treasure aggregated *103.- 600. making a total of *10,444.850 since the let inst The Assistant Treasurer also paid rut during the day $1.970,000 3 per cent certificates, and aboutlloo-003 in currency in redemption of May compound interest notes. The die bureemente in payment of coin interest on the public debt continue to range below half a million per day. those made yesterday having been $483,010. In reference to the government sales ofold, the Secretary cf the Treasuny racer UT sent to the [[ s ouse of Representa tives a letter from Mr..% an Dy- k, the Assistant'! renewer here, in which it is stated that the gold sold between March 2 11361 , and March 18.1E58, amounted to $200.3113866. the currency realized from such sake aggregating Wa7n,369, and the amount of commissions paid * thereon being 0231.350. or at the rate of oneAglith of ono per cent. This rate of commission is excessive when we remember that the usual charge made by stock houses to their customers is one sixteenth percent, .11d that they are quite willing to buy or sell large amounts for a thirty. second, or one-fourth what the Treasury has been pay ing. Mr. Van Dyck makes allusion to this high rate of compensation and says: "Close observation has confirmed my opinion that what. ever apparent economy there might be in accepting prof. fered cervices in this particular branch of business, there would be in reality no sewing to the Treasury or benefit to the commercial community in a nominal reduction of the commissions allowed. In the early stage of my con nection with the Treasn, it was my custom to confide the sales of gold to various firms and individuals en joying good reputations for responsibility and experi ence. Ibe desire to share in this business. as well for the compensation granted as a knowledge of the operations of the Treasury which it Involved. soon filled my office with applicants and their friends, until the annoyance from this source became intolerable. Satisfied also that the information imparted was used for individual profit, and that the employment f a number of agents facili tated disclosures affecting the premium on sales. I deemed it expedient to entrust the business to two or three firma of established character and credit," . . . . It does not follow, however, that the work of selling the Treasury gold was any better done by the houses referred to than it would have been if they had received only one-half of the rate of commission which has been paid to them, and to select "two or three firma" for this b mi ners has an appearance of favoritism, the more particularly as members of two of these houses are family connections of Mr. McCulloch. Nearly a quarter of a million of dollars has thus been Paid for doing what the Treasury could just as well have done for itself. These gold sales are in violation of the act of .Congress authorizing the creation of a sinking fund: but as they are made, there is no good reason why they should not be made publicly by a Treasury clerk at the Sub Treasury building,due publicity being given to such sales by advertisement. As the Secretary of the Treasury is not likely to take the initiative in this reform, however, it ie to be hoped that the attention of Congress will soon be directed to the subject. The money market continues extremely easy,and loans on Government secyrities are made mainly in large amounts at five per cent., while the general rate on mixed calaterale is six. Balances are, however, left with first-class private banking houses in some instances :Maur; and owing to the dullness of business on the Stock Exchange the demand falls considera bly short of the supply. The applications for discounts are very light, and first-class commer cial paper is quoted at 6,0®7 per cent, be operations of the Sub-Treasury are conaucive to still greater monetary ease, as its porchaees of seven-thirty notes e3:eeed its gold sales, and it is at present engaged in paying off the com pound interest notes which matured on the ink , to the amount of nearly twenty four millions. I tip !to the close of business yesterday, 515,255 950 of these notes had been 'presented since their maturity, and 05,725,000 of tt ree per cent. certificate issued in payment, (Fromthe Now York World.l MAT 19. The Government bond-market was active and excited throughout the day, owing to an extraordi nary demand for investment.

The five-twenty bonds of 1.802 and 1804 were specially autho rized to be sold in Europe by the Secretary of the Trea sury. In seven-thirties a very large business was transacted. and the Assistant Treasurer cleared the market at 107-i,i 01 all that he could get at that price, *250,000, and heavy amounts were purchased at leri. Some of the German aline are exchanging the 1802's for %Ws, and old 1805's.

NO BACKWARD STEPS THE SEVEN RENEGADE SENATORS They Are IDenoun.ced. TEMPORARY ORGANIZATION Carl Scburz Appointed Chairman. The Republican National Convention ISpecial Despatch to tho Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.] CHICAGO, May 20,1868.--The Convention was called to order at 12.30 by Gov. Ward, Chairman of the National Committee,who opened by saying that the Convention would take no backward Steps in reconstruction. He sketched the history of the Republican party, and said they should not now hesitate to take a bold stand, and tha political treachery should not resist the progress of this great party. The allusion to the action of the seven defective Republicans called for re peated 'cheers, lasting some minutes. General Carl Schurz was nominated temporary Chairman of the Convention by acclamation amid much enthusiasm. [SECOND DE.SPATCIL] CHICAGO, May 20th.—Mr. Schurz was escorted to the chair, and after the applause had subsided, he addressed the Convention in a strong earnest speech ; saying that these were dark hours, and it required a strong, earnest move ment; and declaring thet there must be no faltering now. He said the corruption In the party must be punished, the national credit sus tained, justice be done to the soldiers and sailors, and the Southern loyalists protected. His speech created great enthusiasm. [CORRESPONDENCE OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.] CHICAGO, May 20.—The 'Anther is fine and the day is sunny and bright. The Convention opened at noon in the Crosby Opera House, which was completely filled. Many ladies were in the galleries, and thousands of strangers were turned away for want of room. The excitement is intense, chiefly on the Vice Presidency and impeachment. Some of the Western delegations manifest a strong determi nation to press a vote on resolutions denouncing the Republican Senators who voted against the conviction of the President. Last night those opposed to reading the said Senators out of the party seemed to be in the ascendant. To-day the probabilities are that the subject cannot be ex cluded from the discussions. The impeachment movement continues to give Mr. Wade considerable additional strength for the Vice-Presidency. The present indications are that he will poll 100 tol2o votes on the first bal lot, but his opponents say that he cannot increase that. Except for the fact that Mr. Wade's nomination is urged as a rebuke to Trumbull, Fessenden, and so forth, Mr. Colfax is evidently the strongest at • the start. As it is his vote is nearly equal to Mr. Wade's 'at the beginning. His friends are conk dent, fearing only that his strength will be weak_ ened:by an agreement against the nomination of any Western man for Vice President, which is urged by Mr. Wade's opponents. Mr. Fenton's friends outside of the Convention are numerous and active, but don't seem as con fident to-day as yesterday. Their best estimate gives Mr. Fenton about 90 votes, which they have hoped to increase materially,in the South ern delegations. Mr. Wilson's frlends:are nume rous, but have nobody to back them, though there is a general feeling that if New England would unite on him he would be nominated easily. Mr. Hamlin is also gaining in favor. Mr. Wade and Mr. Fenton's friends have become discour aged. ➢Zany of their supporters say that Mr. Hamlin is the next choice, but it is universally conceded that no National Convention ever as sembled in the midst of so much uncertainty with regard to tho Vice Presidency. From Avookington. WASHINGTON, May 20.—A. private letter re ceived in this city from an officer on board the United States steamer Hartford states that that vessel left Hong Kong, March 21st, and arrived at Singapore on the 31st of that mouth,whero she was awaiting the arrival of her rellef,the Pinata qua, after which she would leave directly for the United States. The Piscataqua had not arrived at Singapore on April 7th. I Upon leaving Hong Kong the Hartford was saluted with cheers by the citizens on shore and the differen.t vessels in the harbor. Commodore John R. Goldsborongh, in command, was pre sented with a Homeward Bound Penant, of very great size, by friends in that locality. The Hart ford will be ready to proceed on her voyage home after the arrival of the Piscataqua.
