The New York T rthnrc declares
that all the investigation? affeeMng
1'resident irant "have left his hones
ty a!ovc suspicion," and it addt-: "Wc
beg our Democratic friends therefore
to moderate their unruly rage, and to
tpring no more scandal upon a dis
gusted cation till they are Pure about
tie facts."
1 a labored editorial in behalf of
IleudriekV nomination, the llarrLi
burg Patriot says: "No I'resident
has ever been elected by the people
w ithout Pennsylvania and none is
likelv to '." Correct and as no
Democratic candidate has the ghost
of a ebaire to carry Pennsylvania
this vear, it is a settled thing that
rant's furcessor will be a Kepubli-
ran.
"
remembered that when
lr w ill be
Helkanp resigned the Democratic
press charged that it was a trick put
up by the President whcrely the Sec
retary was to escape impeachment.
Now it turns out that the resignation
was forced by a threat from Clymer,
that if he did tot resign he would
have bim imjteacbed. The discov-
crv of this additional blunder cf the;
statesman from Perks, has raided'
;uite a brci.e iu the Democratic
camp, it Wing evident if a conviction
cannot be bad because of this ground
o defense, the fault rests altogether
with the dense Ftnpidity of Clymer.
The Harrisburg Vntri-jl exj.cnds
a column article in arguing that to
certainly elect the President the De
mocracy must carry both Ohio and
Indiana, nnd concludes by saying:
"The Presidential problem is solved
bv securing a candidate who can car
ry Ohio and Indiana. Who is lie?
Where is he?" Why Hendricks, of
Indinna, to be sure. Why don't you
speak up What was tbe use of
writing a w hole column to insinuate
nhai you wauted, aud could have
said in three words.
Democratic economy and sagacity
combtued in a striking manner in the
resolution of tbe House of Represen
tatives calling for the list of stockhol
ders of all the national bunks of the
country. The object of this resolu
tion w as to discover Low many mem
bers of Congress were owners of na
tional bank Ftock. In obedience to
this resolution tbe proper department
procured the information and sent it
to the Committee on Hanking and
Currency; when lo ! it was discovered
that no use rould be made of tbe pon
derous mass. It contains 210,000
nmc, fills eight thousand pages of
manuscript, and it cost for clerk hire
alone) $."i,000 to prepare it for the
committee to ' thrown aside nn
ucd! The Doiii .tcrata Iwgan this session
of Congress with tbe determinaiion
to devote it primarily to tbe manufac
ture of political capital for the com
ing Presidential campaign. To this
end the public business h.s boon ut-
JTly neglected, and the entire ses
sion so far has been devoted to sean-3al-iuougt
ring, and the iuicstiga'Jon
of frivolous calumnies against mem
bers cf tbe admiuistration.
Tbe accidental stumbling upon cv-iden-e
of corroplioa against ISclknap
w hetted their eagerness. anJ the com
mittee roomif ibe House hava been
converted into iiujro scandal mills,
from whence" tLe country b as been
Cooded w ith the most disjrutiog and
improbable lies against prouiicent
republicans, which one after one
have been exploded and laid bare, 60
5000, as the implicated and maligned
parties could get possession of tbe
s-pecific charges against tbem, or ob
tain abearinr. One of tbe Intcst of
these monstrous falsifications pub
lished by every Democratic sheet in
tbe land was a downright charge
of theft against the Presideut, accom
panied with tbe allegation that be
w as to be 'impeached and tried for
"robbing tLe Treasury to buy Lis sec
end election."
An ordinary sense of common de
cency, to say nothing of morality and
justice, tliould Lave prevented tbe
publication of 0 scandulous a charge,'
at least on id it was established. But
what is decency, or tonesty, or jus-Ue
tite to tbe Democratic politician cr
editor, w ben capital justly or uujust
ly, is to 1 made Against a political
adversary f So the scandal w as pub
itsbed by these ghouls througboot tbe
land, though M'ncteen-lwcntietbs of
ibem knew in their bean of Learts
tkat it wa a Ualil and barren lie,

orrats in the city of Xcw 1 orV, and
that notwithstanding all efforts made
; by Lini and others, that State was
Carried by fraud for the Democratic
j candidate at the laet Presidential elec
I tioD.
It is a Felf-evident fact therefore,
that the Democratic Congressional
j committee having this matter in
charge, while smelling around the
j Department, discovered that a por
tion of the "pecret Ferric Innd'' bad
been expanded by order of the Pres
ident in and about New York, and
suspecting the object to wbich it bad
been applied, the unscrupulous parti
sans controlling that committee, at
once concluded to counteract the
weight of the evidence which they
felteertain Davenport had accumula
ted against their political friend?, by
boldly and f-Laruelessly charging that
the funds used by bim for that pur
pose bad been stolen by the President.
A more munstrous and malignant
slander was never coined and eirco
laied by reckless pol tical demagogues,
and a poluted press, the sole object
being to break the force of inoet
damaging disclosures of their own
iniquity, by attempting lo damn in
. public estimation tbe Chief Magis
Urate, who legitimately ordered tbe
use of a portion of tbe fund set apart
for that purpose, to detect and punish
their gross frauds upon the sanctity
of tbe ballot box. Such is the way
,nnd the means used by the present
Democratic majority in Congress, to
i ... ... .". .
iimAiT iiiuiiM ni rnnitai lur nv f unnily
Presidential campaign.
Once in a while the Democratic
meiuViers of the House are obliged to
tnrn their attention from investigat
ing their oppoueuts to a serious in
quiry into the conduct of their own
friends,
Adams
For example, one of Clerk
inmoiiitees who succeeded
, ,
the veteran Barclay, was convicted
of using bis place to advance bis own
pri rate aud peculiar business schemes.
He was put out, and his place knew
bii.i no more. Now Mr. White, of
Kentucky, wants Clerk Adams, who
is also a Kentuckian, investigated, in
order that it may be discovered bow
mucb lobbying the Clerk and bis as
sistants have done to save their pay
from reduction. Worse than this, an
assistant engineer comes up from the
depths of tbesubcellar of the House,
and accuses tbe engineer of a variety
of crimes, of which poisoning is tbe
chief. But the field for investigation
still grows wider as well as more in
teresting. Gen. Bougbton, late of
the Confederate army, at present
clerk of the House committee on mil
itary affairs, stands charged and con
victed of fraud, and of being under
indictment in Texas as a member of
the w hiskey ring in tl a. State. Tbe
committee refuse to send to Texas to
procure witnesses, and we suppose
this model Democratic clerk w ill be
allowed to escape without protecu
tion. It does begin to look as if this
House bad selected a choice lot rf
Democratic scamps for its subordi
nate officers, or are we to consider
these fellows as but a sample of tbe
average Southern Democrat?
Ir was perfectly understood by the
Democratic leaders w hen the present
Confederate House assembled at
Washington, that the National Ad
ministration was to be broken down
and utterly destroyed, by a series of
investigations laying bare all its as
sumed iniquities, and no sooner was
au organization secured than com
mittees of investigation were raised
to nose out and examine, every little
scan Jul and piece of tittle-tattle that
Mrs. fltundy and the gossiping news-
paper reporters bad set afloat. Soon
the Democratic Press U-eaed with
startling accusations against all the
members of the Cabinet, tbe confed
crate sleuth bounds opened in full
bay on ibo trail, and a 1 cry devil's
ttttoo was beat by partisan organs
and scandal mongers throughout the
laud. Now mark the result. Not
ooe Republican officer of the govern
ment sfl re Belknap baa been prov
en guiity of crime, after five months
of vigiltnt smelling and investigat
ing by more than a score of hostile
unscrupulous Democratic commit'ees.
For five long ruon-Qg we have bad a
constant drearr drizzle of nastiness
and ecandal poured into tbe public
ear. Eacb succeeding day we have
supjei upon a fh libel, until at
length tbe common gorgn its risen,
and the revolting load of libel sod
libellaats is spewed back into iu orig
iuai Democratic sewer, to tbe great
relief of it public stomach.
But this disguadng spectacle of
partisan foulness has been relieved by
occasional gleams of tbe ridiculous,
in wbich tLn smelling committees
have Cgured in a uwii absurd light,
to ibe great relief ol tbo wto were
not tM ieart sick to be amused at

U of the report with a pw'uund r in-

upon the report were by no means
realized, instead of radical anion

tyofa chain thereon entirely upon
le sboulders of tbe , House. In a
rather feckless and iu seme cases an
unwariautable mauuer tbe report of
the committee casts imubstioos up
on tbe following parties:
Tbe uttentiou of tbe House is call
ed to tbe conduct of Mr. Miller of
Philadelphia, but the Committee ex
presses no opinion on tbe t-ame.
The Ccmniitiee are of opiuion that
the couducl ot Mr. Jvuibl of Bucks
was very improper. -
T.i.i M'. Tni ruion of Alle.benv
aonroaehed both Messrs Wise and '
Beck, members ol tbe House iu fcuch
a mauuer as to lead them to suppose
lb-1 tbey could attain a valuable coa-
siueralluu Ior their votes against me
bill.
Oi Mr (ieniuer of Philadelphia
ihey are noi prepared to say that he
was guilty ol auy eltort to corruptly
iuflucuce auy of his fellow members.
1'bai . S. Douglass a member from
Philadelphia was guilty of couducl
uubecomiug a memoel of the House.
l'bai evidence was producod to
show lbat Eiuile J. lVtroff a member
of ibe House from Philadelphia, w as
guilty of a violation of the 27th sec
tion art. 3d, of ibe cousiiiuiiou iu ref
eieuce to bribery. That Martin F.
Stuoita member of the House from
Luzerne couuly bad also violated
ibe same soeiiuu and ariiclo of the
constitution.
The Comuiittee ibeu go on lo state
that although of opiuion that their
power does uolexteiid beyond mem
bers ol ihe House, tbey feel that ihey
would uol be doiug justice to them
selves, did they not call attention to
lb miseouduct of Geo. W. Skinner
Journal Clerk of ibe House.
Seuaior Boyer, Jesse C. Aunner
liiou eX-uieiuber of the House, Juo
Beck. F.li. .Eiubick aud Pou-r Her-
dick if Williaiusp.rt are then sepa
rately arraigned aud charged by the
evideuee wiib corrupt uud improper
attempts to iuflueuce legi.-liuiou on
the bill.
Tbe atleution of the House is es
pecially called lo ihe conduct of Lu-
iber Auurews ol AHia brauioru coun-i
ly iu seudiug false telegrams lo tbe
members and calling them away from
their seats on the final passage of ibe
bill.
The report closes with ft rconimen
datiou that after the House is done
with this testimony it be referred to
tho Attorney General for such aciious
as be may deem advisable.
All tbe members of the Committee
w ith the e.xcepiiou of Key bum t-igoed
lue report, that geutb'tnan bow
ever refused to do so because he con
sidered tbe action of the Commitee
unconstitutional in as much as the
parties accused were not allowed to
confront their accusers, or given
au opportunity of defending them
selves. Ever since the introduction of this
report very little business bas been
doue in the H use. Io legislative
parlance, the boom still booms, and
tbe whole of the past week was con
sumed in futile attempts on the part
of tbe House, to find a way out olthe
intricate labyrinth into 'vhich it bas
beeu led. One day, tbe House could
bave been seen in one of the positions
of trviug to resolve itself iulo a high
court of impeacbiuent. The next in
iryiugto send the matter back to the
Committee with instructions to do
iheir work over agaiu, uud yesterday
we fjudtbcui sending tbe boom bill
back to me Seuaie by a vote of 115
yea lo .07 nays, before it bas been
put ged of its corruptions wbich sur
rounds it uud before even any de
fiuite action iu that direction has been
taken. What the Seuate w ill do I
w iib the bill remains to be seen. Tbe
general opinion here is thaitbis joke
begotten investigation bas proven a
failure, and will close with the ses
sion iu some disgraceful manner.
Tbe minority of tbe committee ap
poiuted by ibe House last year to iu-ve.-tigate
tbe affairs of ihe State
Treasury, submitted a report to tbe
II .use on Wednesday. This report
substantially ileuies many of the as
sert i.. us of ibe umj-irity report, made
early in the preseul ses-iou, such as
lbat (be couiunttee w as not allow ed
admission to bis hoi.ks by ibt-Siaie
Treasurer, aud bus for its object tbe
Complete vindication of State Tr-as-urer
Mackev. It contains nt least
oue wholesome recommendation, and
that is that a law be pas-ed bv ihe '
Iieifliitute rt-gulatin
to aiiiHiiut-
uieui ot ul; committees 'if in vesti.a
ii'ins. " The report was cijjned by
representative Cbrisinau and Raily.
S'div Treasurer Raw li- will assuui
ibe duties of his p'isili.0) on Monday
noon, tbe I.-t 'f .May. No change
ill be made in the regular clerical
