DT HORATIO ALRER, The Old Year:was fast drawing to a close. But a few hours and the advent of its succes sor would be hailed by merry shouts and joyful gratulations, mingling with the merry chime of bells ringing out a noisy welcome from church tower and steeples. Adam Hathaway, a wealthy merchant, sat in his counting room, striking a balance 'be tween his gains and losses for the year which had nearly passed. From the smile that lighted up his, countenance, as he. drew near the ,end of his task,_ it might be safely inferred that the result proved satisfactory Ile threw down, his pen, after footing pp the lait column, and exclaimed joyfully : . `Fivethousand net gain in one year. That will do very well, very well indeed. If lam as well ptospered in the year to come, it will be a 'Happy New'Year. f His'mcditations were 'interrupted by a knock at the door: He .opened -it and saw • 'standing before him a man of ordinary_ ap pearance. bearing under his arm something the nature of which he could not conjecture, wrapt up in a brown paper. • • • . Mr. Hathaway, I believe?' was the stran ger's salution. • _ '.Yoit are Corr e ct' `PerhaPs, if not particularly engaged, you will allow me a few minutes conversation with you.' You are a wealthy man, Mr. Hathaway, and every year•increases you "posse - ssions.— May I ask what is your object in accumulating so much property l'• This is a very singular Irestion, said the merchant, who btigua to entertain doubts as to-his visitor's 'sanity, very singular. , I r.suppine I am influenced by the same motives dint actuate other men, the necessity of pro viding for my - p ysieal wants and so contrib uting to my happiness.' - 'MA this' contents you? But your' gains are not all devoted to this purpose. The last yCar, for example, the overplus has amounted to five thousand dollars.' - 1 know not where you gained your infor ms' bon,' said Mr. Hathaway, in surprise. However. you are correct.' 'And what do you intend to do with this?' `You are Fomewhat free with 'your ques tions,sir. However, 1 have no objection to attswering vou. .1 shall lay it vp.', 4 -For what . purpose I T need not tell you that Enoney.in itself is of no: value. Why, then, do you allow it to remain idle?'

My wardrobe is well supplied, should I live more expensively I' T 9 these questions I atiswei, No. But it does not follow, h-cause you have a good house, comfortable clothing, a welt iupplied table, that others are equally well provided. Have you thought to give of your abundance' to those who and needy, to promote your own happiness by, promoting the happinesi of oth. ers?' •- I must confcss this is a duty which I have neglected. But there are thus-houses and be nevolent societies. There cannot be much misery that escapes their :notice,' said Mr. Hathaviay. . • You shall judge for yourself.' • - The stranger commg.need unwrapping . the Package under his arm.

' - A resolution from the Senate was introduc ed into the licise,.requiring the raising 41`f a committee with power to send for pertOni and papers, to'inv6tigate the question wheth er any undue or improper influences have been used oradopted to procure the. eledtion 'of a eindidate for United States Senator; - -The question being on the adoption of this I resolution. , i Mr; Fraily Said he was not opposed t 4 the object of this; resolution; but he believed it had been offered to be made the . pretext . on which' to, urge the postponement of the tion of aU.

Who, could not under Stand that this'was the object, when the gentleman from Lawrence (Me; Combs), and the gentleman from Philadelphia county (Mr. Wright), were found. acting in coacertl He did not believe that anything could be found to sustain the charge or htsin nation contained . ; in this resolution ; •and did belieVe that, notwithstanding this fire bl'and, there 1 1 a sufficiency of Strength in thiS Cody to crush the object aimed at I - Me.

But every one4nows that such rumors are. afloat; -and hence the necessity for such an investigation for the protection of, the innocent and the pun-, ishment of the guilty= .It is said thit a,letter is in oxistemie, ‘Vhick set's forth that ninehund red dollars had been paid to certain Ipartios to seure the, nomination of a partici* L l ui: did*. :These and other circumstance% were objects of fardinary conversation- Put us{' then; have. an investigation. - -He hoped, the resolution would be adopted.'

NO. 11`' ble statements which conld be adduced. Last NVinter,be had been requested to .support a bill in which money was _said to have been Used ; but he had promptly declined to sup. . port it, and had given his reasons to the bor er who asked him. That party, he believes , to have been from Lawrence county, although no means were then taken to p u nish him. Mr. Cummings, of Philadelphia, Would not object to the passage of the resolution at the proper -time. Its introduction to -day was too transparent not to be seen through--tod bald to mislead. He would vote for an early day for its - carAideration—but rose now to the point of order, that this was Tuesday, private bill day , with which nathing could . interfere. The Speaker decided the House had already settled that question by agreeing to, consider the resolution. , Mr. Cummings then moved that the further consideration of the resol tion be postponed foi the present.. Mr. M'Combs hopeclit e resolution would not be postponed, and t : t its object would be accomplished. If bri ry existed, it should not be pernaitted• suec- ed in its diunnable Purpose. • .Mr. Smith, of Philadellphia„ suggested that if bribery had been attempted, we. now have the opportunity of getting testimony upon the subject. When the question of Senator was settled and the people left Harrisburg, it would be difficult to obtain the evidence) ex cept - at great additional expense and delay. He hoped the, resolution would bye at once. adopted. 1 Mt. Chamberlain was tin favor of the im mediate adoption of the resolution. It could not interfere with the sworn duty of the mem bers of the Legislature to meet to-day in Joint Convention. He-believed' no objection had been made to the adoption of the resolution In the Senate • , and hoped 'none would be made here. for one he'istoed ready to aid in exposing iany guilty' man, and would con-, l i sent to screen nO one. The names, referred'' to had gone out L upon the winds—had enter-. ed the public pruits--had been adverted to in' a discussion en another - question—arid true or false, cold not fail injuriously to af fect the honor the Commonwealth, if this were uncontradicted or • unexplained. He triad.: no specific, charge of the use of undue influences in the matter of a nomination fora U. S. Senator or on any ; other: matter—but he did not wish it believed abroad that a Sen ator, if any was elected, had gained his posi tion by means of briberY. ti Mr. Cummings had announced distinctly before, when on the floor,' that he would' vote for the resolution;.and as the member from Beaver (Mr. Chamberlin) had assured the house that it was not the intention that the resolution should operate upou the eleetion to-day, he withdrew his Motion to postno . ny! liners netorotne - nour mew-10r . of b. United States Senator. -The rumor now referred to, had prevailed before, the caucuses were held ;- and he belie*ed if the curtain had not dropped on Friday ;night last, and -cer tain big- guns had not then been spiked, this inquiry would notfhave - been hear of. It was supposed, in certain quarters, that the mem bers were men of straw, to be blown 'about by the wind. This was an essential ~error. It was said that a deposit had been 'made in .a bank,. but it b ti had net been by their '-eriends. Gen. Cameron' friends were strong nough to' accomplish their purpose, and he ,hoped they would do it! They stand here as pure as any', and pifrer than the friendS of the man who had made th'e deposit. They 'ifear not, the investigatioU. Let it come. Mr. Kirkpatrick said - it was well known !he had opposed the supplement to the bribe ry bill, and he now wished to raise his voice againSt allefforts so insulting, and degrading 'to the character' of this Legislature as' the' 'present. He protested against fighting wind mills, Don Quixote like; and asked the gen tleman from Lawrence (Mr. M'Cmnbs) for the data upon which to base the investigation ; and for all the particulars of the $9OO trans action, the name of the Man or men implicat- . ed, with the proper dats! Rumors 'of -this sort were rife before the nominations were_ made. We have asked for the names, but have received no responSe; and now, at the eleventh hour, it was proposed to interfere with the duties presented by law n and we have brought before thislilouse this bugbear —this phantom of some ;deluded brain. lie hoped- the resolution would be voted' down as insulting to-the House, and to the constit uents who made the *use. If 'the honor of the members could] not sustain itself at i home where well known, i it could receive little aid from this movement. Ile hoped,- in cOnclusion, the resolution would be kicked: out—sent back to the . Senate; ,hissing With the scorn of the House. Mr. M'Combs said the gentleman from. Allegheny (Mr. • - Kiexekraiee,), had grown vehemetitly eloquent concerning the diame ter of the House. He firstdenied the means of investigating-the charges, • and then com plained that no facts hadr, been elicited! The friends of this -resolution place it before the , and ask -its adoption, that the .data may be obtained: They want ,to know - '! whether' these rutriors are idle or hot, and. demand an 'investigation) ' as the best means, of proving the_ integrity of members if they have been misrepresented. Mr. Simpson (of Philadelphia) regretted the opposition which wag shown, to this reso lution. Some days sin he heard at home, from, a cornparativelfresponsible source, re ports affecting certain of the Philadelphia rind Allegheny members, and he pledged himself, if the resolution was adopted, to give the names of persons who. eat 'expose the whole' story. Mr. Kirkpatrick said, after the remarks:of the gentleman from Philadelphia, (Mr. Simp soa„) he withdrew all opposition. And the resolution .was then adopted, by the;following vote: , YEAS—Messrs.
