Such an , ungenerous course towards' the popular wish of his State, and his own colleague, ought to re ceive, as it richly merits, the most sting ing ribnke that can be ad4Maistered. This officious counsel does not appear to be relished; however, in Massacbesette. The Boston Journal. says : "Wo learn by telegraph that the 11On.

' The Springfield Republican says that any investigntion of, the Credit Mobilcr business will presuppose a committee, and that:such a committee must needs be ap pointed by Mr. James G, Blaine; that -taking this particular committee out of the bands ot the Speaker would i-iply painful suspicion; but an investigation by Ur. Blaine's friends would be a farce. The Republican suggests no solution of the difficulty, but says it does not "take much stock in an early or searching in lairy. If it comes it will be, as already hinted, an agreeable disappointment." The Republican adds--- - Putting all questions -of investigations howevei, Congress has a duty to perform in the premises; a duty to its own reputation and to the ponntry ; a plan daft', not to' be shirked with impunity. That is, to expel Mr. Oakes Ames of Massachnsetta, In the case of this per son investigation would be a palpable waste of Eime. There is no question about hie guilt. He is convicted out of his own mouth }the proofs are extant in his own handwriting. Whether ho succeeded in corrupting the official integrity of his associates with bribes, charity may re quire ns to doubt; there is no 'doubt that he attempted to do it, and the attempt is enough.

This life insurance policy has been kept good. and will accure to the Tribune. At,the time of effecting the insurance Tribune stock changing hands at mini 8.3:500 to 84,000 a share, showing the tn t4 valuation of the it.stitntion to have been from 8350,t0 8400.000. One hun dred thousand dollars was then viewed as a very moderate estimate of the pecu niary loss which the Tribune would sus tain in the death of Horace Greeley ; but the chances of that dire cal:miry to the Tribune seemed so remote that no motion was made to inere•tse the life, insurance.. not even after the hundred shares which represent the entire Tribune association had risen to 810,000 each. Some of the Tribune's stock was recently sold at a smaller figure t but the stockholders still, .estimate.the entire property at a round million. In the death of Mr. Greeley the Tribune stockholders wdl sustain an irreparable toes. compared with which 8100,000 is a mere bagatelle. Everything looks desola•e at Chappa• qua.
