ONE OF .TIM RESULTS.
When the present Legislature organized, and
the Democracy .(?) 'found themselves in the
minority, they began to reach in all directions
for Capital and apologies to secure their party
purposes. Unable to control any patronage,
of course the first and only incentive to legisla
tive, action yfas'gpne, and they therefore re
solved to 'rake among the ashes of past legisla
tion,hoping to find 60010 spark of lingering fire;
Whfch they could fanintofleme, and , thus create
a fire lurid and, fierce, with which to destroy
the everi dreadettand &Islay's envied - " Black Re
publicans." Among the 'nfOst zealous of those
who thus seek the disgrace of. Republican offi
cials and of, course the destruction of the Repu
blican party. in one Rex—not of royal blood
or kinglitherogative, but a common pr)iog,
meddlesome.plebkia from Montgomery county
—who plumed himself. on the herculean labor
of proving the corruption of , the Repnbliatin
party by the manner in which the, usiness of
legislation has been conducted in 'the. Legida
ture, and more particularly the economy which
has been displayed in the' clerk's office of: the
House of Representative& To effect this object,' '
Mr..R.ex. moved the appointment of a comoiittee
to investigate the disbursement of the contingent'
fund of the House,inflated withhis conceit ea '`a
good smeller," and wonderfully deligbted with
the notibn that he had it in his power to deal
Republicanism a death blow. He beseiged thy
Auditor General's office--7-startled the men of
figures in that quiet and laborious. Department
from their accustomed equanamity, and for
ought we'know, u; set the entire mathematical
arrangements, or changed the stern scrutiny
and rigid impartiality, of Auditor General
Ooohran.and his patient assistants. We write,
for aught we kuow, because Mr. Rex has never
reOort4d . the progress of his investigating com
mittee, , nor has he hinted at the result of his
labors and researches in the Auditor General's',
office. A plain account Is kept in that Depart
ment, of not only the contingent expense& of
the House.of Representatives, but of the state
government, and therefore Mr. Rex has no ex
cess In delaying his report.

Why is it that Mr. Rex does not publish this
report or the result of his investigations ?
There can be but one answer. It exposes Dem
ocratic extravagance, and vindicates the Repub
lican clerks It would not answer his party
purposes to give it to the world, and so he with
holds it . Is it a wonder that the other mem
bers of the committee all became disgusted and
retired, leaving him alone as the committee
man? Let us make a brief comparison:
In 1857, under Zeigler..
In 1880, " Ranch—
llklarice in favor Republican Clerk.. $7,361 87
Colonel Ziegler made some permanent im
provements, painting, &c. . Captain Ranch also
made some permanent improvements, such as
net' blinds for all the windows, new settees for
the ,kbbies, &c. The difference cannot be ac
counted for on this ground.
In 1881, Bauch's expenses for the extra ses
sion must have been; at least $2,400, which
would have reduced his expenses for - ha regular
aeodon to 49,448 87 While Zeigler, for one
session in 1867, was 818,698 98, making a dif
ference in favor of Bench of $9,160 06, show
ing Democrats incurred more than double the
expense of Republicans in the management of
the House.
This statement is crushing and convincing 4 .
It exhihits the result of the Paul Pry propensitii:
of. Mr. Rex—and while the figures thus pub
Haled show a large excess of Democratic ex=:
penses over that of Republican, when one or
the other party :controlled the House, WE; are
not bound to infer that the Democratic Clerk,
Col. Ziegler, was consequently dishonest. We
have more confidence in and charity for Uncle
Jacob.tosuppose or intimate such as the castii , i
but even he and his partizan friend Rex, must
admit that the difference is extravagant. -At
all events, it leaves Mr. Rex in the pitiful
plight of having raked among the ashes until
he got his fiagerS scorched, and now, like ;$
chagrined and
.crossed urchin, sticks them in .
his mouth to ease the punishment which his
spite, and meddling so richly deserved. It
proves, too, that, the lame charges of the
I Democratic oorruptionists,as to the faithlessness
of Republicans when in power, recoil upont
themselves with overwhelming force, and
leave them in disgrace and confusion.
It is seldom that, we arepermitted to present
to the readers of -the Tula:RA' a more just
and, comprehensive view of public, men than:
the following from : , the Washington ,Sunday.

thereselies.. And-still,.mankind are very apj
to manifest a fault-finding and censorious spirit
toward acts of public legislation, of which they
have no personal control, and'which they .
have
no hand in shaping. . And thus, not ourselves,
realizing the difficulties surrounding men in
position, we give vent to the full of our indig
nation against them ; against their acts, and
against the government— They either. "move
too fast," or, they "move too slow." • They
either do, or they do not do 'just as - our fancy
dictate% and our passion drives us. And this
is not all.. As every,man, of course, is a cen
tre of influence, so the manner in'which he•
demeans himself, as well as the thoughts 'he
gives utterance to, bOth effects the equilibrium
of those surrounding 'him, and strikes at the
very'root of good and whefesome-. government.
:Under • such .circuenstatem as • these, Hon-
Simon Cameron, ex-Secretary of War, retires
frdm the post of- honor,. to which •duty to his
country as well as theconfidence of the Admin
istration had called hini. Borne down with the
weight and, burdens of a period in our Govern
ment without a parallel in the history of the
nation, he quietly retires from the position•,
giving place to another, Who we doubt not will
he found equal to the emergency, and may also
profit by the "short-comings" of his honorable
predecessor.
llr. Cameron soon will take reluctant leaye
of his country in her hour of peril, and bear
her interests to a foreign court, while we doubt
not he will ably sustain the h nor and dignity
of our. National Government. From what we
know of him in the past, we have but little fear
of the future. We know him to be a high
minded and honorable statesman, and with a
large heart, glowing with patriotic. love and
zeal for his native country ; and we, are fully
confident while we shall for the present lose the
counsels of a great man, 'and a wise legislator
in this our present national calamity, we shall
be but the better represented in one of the
most important governments in Europe. We
most chzerfully commit to him, our national in
terests abroad,, confiding in his judgment as to
the disposition of all events with which he may
be entrusted by the Government. And not
only this, but the sympathies of those of his
fellow-citizens which have been manifested to
him during his long official career will follow
him abroad, and in due time look for his return
to friends and home and country.

Ohio, from the Committee on Naval Affairs,
reported a bill to reduce the.pay of Officers and,

marked-in reporting the bill, that "it would
not be called up until after Congress had acted

ted. In other words, that the Union may be
dissolved by act of Congress—an assumption as
absurd and - fatal as that a State am annul its

an ordinance of secession.. It strikes down the
Constitution and dissolves the government. It
is icconsiistent with sound policy, utterly at
war with religion and humanity, .and hence
the minority enter their most earnest and
solemn against it. •
Mr. Pinanarron, (Ohio,) said the bill being . '
olearlY unconstitutional, he moved to lay it on
