1KVESTIGATIOX.
The Democratic brethren in Congress have
fallen back solidly on investigation. A few
weeks of experience have taught them that
as legislators they were likely to prove a
lamentable failure, and that if they would
save themselves from the fate of deserved
obscurity they must strike out in some other
vhsnncl from that which they were especially
elected to Coat in. The next thing in im
portar.ee, as they conceived, was the setting
out on voyages of discovery the nosimr into
arid turning over the past, in hopes of find
ins something which would furnish them
with eclat, and, possibly, make as auiunition
in tha approaching Presidential campaign.
With this object in view a movement was
inaugurated to set the various committees to
work, and to appoint others so as to expedite
tho investigating business and secure ail the
possible grand results attainable ere it would
bo too late to m ike these results available for
the success of the Democratic party. And
here, in the ofistart, the leaders of the party
met with a surprise which well nigh threw
them off their feet they found others as will
ing and anxious for investigation as they
"vera themselves. The Republican members,
en ni'isse, seconded and voted cheerfully for
every movement of the kind, anxious that if
peculators and peculation existed in olilee the
gaiify might be discovered and punished.
For years, charges cf corruption had been
made by Democratic presses and leaders
against Republicans in high places, and
though Republican congressional committees
investigated, because their investigations were
without damaging results, owing to the fact
that testimony, if in existence was in posses
ion of Democrats and purposely withheld,
r.ll reports of facts which did come before
them were denounced as mere whitewashings
ot the gul'ty. It was this which made Repub
licans display cot only a willingness, but an
anxiety to join Nomocracy in its thorough
filling cf the eondm.-t- of the government, and
ith adttermina'ion to "let

craey thereat was so complete as to almost
prove stunning.
Thus far the e5brt3 in this direction have
proved effective in unearthing official-vi'lamy,
and the country is brought to the blush over
the rascality of at least one man in high
pkee, win has heretofore held not only
partizan but general conQderiCC. 2iTor is it at
all probable that this is all the villainy that
will be discovered, if Democracy in Congress
does not so egregious'y blunder in what is yet
o be done as it did in what has already beer.
(Lne. Over the result of the
there was no less rejoicing at unmasked
lainy in the Republican than in the Demo
cratic ranks, an 1 the demand for prompt
punishment of the culpirit met with not a
dissenting voice. And yet owing to Demo
cratic stupidity or the childish exuberance of
Chairman Ciymcr, it is more than proble
matical whether ex Secretary Belknap will
ever meet his just deserts. Like a child
tickled with a new f-.uud toy, or like a silly
psrtizan fool, in hopes cf working on the re
fcultofan approaching State Election, ere
t-ven the important facts before the commit
tee were confirmed, he bruited out the doings
of the committee, and, under the lash of the
pievious question, prevented consideration as
in order to
eminent, no matter if it be the President
himself, the cry wells up from the throats of
Republicans every where in shape of a de
mand that to each one shall be measured a
full measure of punishment in just accord
ance with bis descrt3. Without thi3 the let
ter of law becomes a humbug, and investiga
tion for the discovery of and punishment of
crime a by word and a reproach.
From present appearances, Congressman
Blaine's assertion, that if frauds upon the
Government are to be punished Democrats
will have to hand them over to the Republi
cans, is likely to prove more than a simple
repartee, for while Democrats hunt only for
amunition to be used in their behalf in the
approaching Presidential campaign. Repub
licans are really earnest for the discovery,
punishment and suppression of crime.
f;2rThe "funny man" of the Stroudshurg

and Marcer are to be the "financial agents"
of the government. Enstoa Argus.
Correct Mr. Argus as to our advocacy of
that tried and true patriot and statesman,
Gen. John F. Hartranft for the Presidency,
but mistaken as to all the rest. We have
never tried our hand at cabinet making and
do not mean to begin now, and besides we
retired to private life permanently some ten
3-earsago, when President Johnson organized
his bread and butter brigade of hungry oGice
seekers, of which the Democracy furnished
t TV
so many anxious memocrs. v it Ii llartranlt
for President we should have no fears as to
the quality of his cabinet. Pennsylvania's
experience would be the Union's experience
an excellent President and a council of
advisers beyond reproach and possessed of a
qualit3r of statesmanship which would reflect
credit upon the country.
JC2? A bad shape our Democratic brethren
are m just now, witti two ot tticir most
prominent candidates for the Presidency,

Every other thing being equal, the cheapness
of an article is a great recommendation. It is
IiouikI to decide the purchaser, lie would be
foolish indeed who should pay more than he

item in one's personal and family expendi

At Wanamaker & Brown's Oak Hall, Phila

cheaply. Cheapness, with every other excellence

ted to be operated upon by the discovery of
Belknap's crime to the extent of an over

her continued ccnQdenec in Republicanism

Vublicans. Of what avail is investigation if
all its results are to be thus nullified by the
criminal fully of the investigators. True the;

honest Republicans everywhere, but it is a
shair.e, aye a crime, that men's stupidity
ehould thus boldly and brazenly stand in the
wcy of a prompt wiping out of the disgrace
ic3;ctcd upon the country by a dishonest offi
cial, by prompt and severe punishment.
Nor does the future of the investigations
under Democratic control promise to be an
improvement on the past. As they progress
leading Democrats loom up as confederates
in crime, and in proportion as these rank in
importance in the party, the cfTorts of the
investigators vane. Thus Pendleton, with
his Kentucky Central railroad swindfe, and
Hendricks with his Catling gun fi isco, have
operated as a wet blanket to chill the ardor
of Clymer & Co., to such an extent that thry
have hardly had time to think of any thing
else than how to let their friends down gently,
without interfering with their attempt to
overwhelm their partisan enemies in confu
bion and crime. "Let no guilty man escape,"

which the Democrats are governed in the
pro&ecutioo of their task but how bcstfchall
we at once punish our enemies and at the
same time screen our equally guilty friends,

governed. "Let no guilty man escape," is
the cry of every Republican in and out of
Congress, and hence whether friend or foe is
