We are just as ready to denounce a fraud committed on the Government as any jour nalist in the country—tinkWe have gone as fares the most zeal Ons, bondemning those in authority, when public - Voice hais point ed totheir derelietiim. - But : We wish to'risk` seriously, what are the benefits Willa haVe been conferred on the country by the differ ent Congressional and Legislative committees whoiteltrvestigstions are daily being laid be fore the world ? These committees, partic ularly when their attention .is directed to officers in command in the Reit, constitute a source of , annoyance,to our fighting men, in nine „ea.sesorkt of ten t 'more dariger9o.s than are the armed foeS of the nation. The teiti mouy before such bodies is always a - jarring, discordant mass of crimination and recrimin ation—witnesses broadly contradicting, each other—until theveracity of good men is phieed in contlict—and the summing up of the evi deuce results in the failure to convict any body-----in fact to do anything but waste immense'sruns of money' in paying:ths'feeS of witnesses, printing - the reports, and 'scan dalizing the nation at. large. The evidence in the case of Major-General Meade is in point. Serious charges were preferied against this gallant, soldier. pose were sustained by men who fought bravely by his side while they were at, the same Hine flatly contra dieted by other officers who fought as bravely with their accused leader. Now, what are sensible men to think of such proceedings? What are the men'in the ranks of the army, to think of such investigations? They impress the nation, the world and our brave boys who endure fire and sword, the weary march and the cheerless bi - Couaelt,`with disgust. If wrongs are committed, let the proper tribunals take in hand and punish the offenders. It is not necessary that Congress should. organize itself into a Court of 4uarter Sessions, for the trial of dishenest contract:3'ra; or that it should form 11 ourt Martial for"the 3:11- vestißition of charges against militaryofficers, ItOotigress attends to its legitimate business, it icti: have more labor to discharger than most of its members are capacitated'for. If it legislates for the good of the nation, and frames - wholesome laws for the punishment criminals and delinquents, there • are those outside of its halls who'will see that they are enforced. A Legislator on the Benjamin Franklinlleyers, the editor of the Bedford Gazette, (one of the vilest and most in 'letrant copperhead sheets in the, Common wealth,) is also a member of the Legislature.. Irthis leisure moments, (and they are numer ous,) he amuses 'himself by- writing letters froin - tlie "liouseof Representatives," to the Getzelie, ft:enrol:lc of which productions we ex traot th,e, following: ;.. There is• quite a flutter, just 'now, among the '!ltepublican" Abolition politicians. They are• divided into three factions, the Chriazi, Lincoln and Fremont parties. The war be twe'dn the Chasites and. the Lhleolnits is grow- ing very .bitter, and the whole Abolition Presidential imbroglio is 4 % very pretty quar rel as it stands." The Democracy areunited, harmonious and determined. . "There is a better day coming,. wait a: little longer." When Benjamin' pienned the foregoing, - he knew that he was.writing-t an untruth, but thehnnger of his readers for'whatis false and vile ipAnced. him, doubtless, to concoct the lie. That the 'Union men of Pennsylvania, and hereabouts particularly, are united and harmo nious,is what troubles the bowels of such bipeds as ifeyers. That the loyal men of the Legisla titre are undivided in favor of Mr. Lineoln, is as palpable as the fact that they are devoted to the 'Union.' And yet - there is oue who occu pies .'seat on the floor Of :that Rouse, -who in the presence of this unanimity, deliberately occupies himself with. writing falsehoods to the reitders.ot a journal,!of which he is 4 the controller, • to" serve the dirty purposes of his colleagues of his side of the House deceit , - ;ng _the people. Is it to be W.:lnd:eaA. at thap the People are losing faith in' the nioi-alitk of of many of our legislators? THE LEOISLiTORE OP NEN XORK,has decided to enlarge their Capitol building to meet the increasing wants of the State Government. This reminds' us that the ''''''' Gov ernment of Pennaylvania, both 'aiectitivedz , an IttLislatiVe, cleinand a . similar enlargement of ouriCapitol building: The increased'labors of the different departments have made it ne oesiary to employ .additional ; clerical force— whileilii3:Voming -Ant° Operation of military departments whose duties, before the war, - were merely norainid, comPietelY crowd the Capitol building' with.::l%usiiiess, taking up rooms which were heretolbre-imed exclusively by Committees, and ` -forcing •'committees to meet in the Library rooms, or the transaction of their business. It is ardently hoped by those who have the' publiC intereit sincerely at heart, that the Legislature ' will adjourn without providing for this great want of room to accommodate the different departments. Indeed the highest interests. depend for aucL eess upon such enlarged Lie - Bides for the transaction of the daily growing public busi . _ PiMADELPHIA paper of yesterday say's' 4takt a letter has been received from a , friend of ffielitte brave Col• ba.hlgren,'served with,that unfortunste . oflicer during the re cent raid nbout.Bichniorid, which states-em phatically that the so-called `order' alleged to have been found npsin:the body of Dabk,.. ren , was a fabricatiiin and forgery in too..

The Cottititutfintal. Amendinenti...heno_ tor Johnsori. The right of the soldier to vote—the right of the soldier to be represented in the Govern ment, involvcs a question of the most vial importance. The original colonists, who pioneered the newly-formed. States through the rough battle fields. of the Revolutionary war, folight for identically. the same principle for which the friends of the soldiers now eon tend. The colOnists, while contributing to the success and the glory of the mother coun try, deemed that they had a right to represen tation—a right to participate in the control of a government of which they were so impOrt ant a portion. We all knot what followed the refusal to acknowledge . €4l right. From its rejection sprang ,the mighty_Republic which is now filled with a clissenkon on identically the same - question. ' A Class at the South, Which has assumed• 0 itself aristocratic attri butes, have long declared that there =was too much representation in the Government— that the irresponsible masses had, too much control in affairs of State—and hence to crush the idea of free government, the Southern aristocracy resolved, and for three years have waged 'a war for the introdUction of slaiery, and the degradation of free labor in all the States. Acting with the .aristocracy in the South, ,(which jethe only element of the influence which monarchial Europe left in the Ameii can Stites, after its rule was.broken therein,) we have a party here in the Ninth, seeking to parry out the 'original idea of disfranchis ing the masses. they, started the experiment by attempting to disfranchise the soldier. If they could outlaw the soldier, as it were, by disfranchising him, the path to the disfranehisement of the citizen would be con siderably shortened. If they could degrade the defenders of the Government by refusing them citizenship, they would Soon render our institutions tea worthless to be defended, and thereby make certain the conspiracy to over throw and destrOy the Government. ThiS is just the light mwhich to view this question of enfranchising the:soldier. ..llnt..we did not commence to u - rite, this article- for the pur pose of' discussing the subject, of the soldidrs' right to vote. We rather took up our pen to point to the very able speech of Senator John son, published on our outside of this after noon. Senator Johnson: may be justly re garded as ' the champien of the miuciple involved in the question of the soldiers' right to vote, as it was he who introduced the amendment to the Constitution. His ad vocacy, of that amendment has been per sistent and -eloquent; and the speech which we 'publish this .afternoen, though brief, is very powerful nevertheless a very powerful defence, of his , Prineiples. We trust that the soldiers who are now present in the capital, Will not fail to read this speech. Our brave defenders are here to note the proceedings on ,this great measure of justice and of right. By/he vote on the passage •of this amendment they can see that every Democrat but one. either voted against or dodged the question.. Persomil and Political. The Lancaster Evening _.Express announces , the, death of Col. Samuel C. Stambaugh. He died at his residence ; neer-L-grica.ster city, on the morning of - the 11th" inst. Col. S., at One' time, filled a large place in the political his tory of the country, and few men of equal po litical position-were more :widely known. He Wag a genial, Warta-hearted man, and a true friCud... In social life he was respected alike by political.friends and opponents. The last offleial position he was under President Buchanan, as Surveyor;of Utah. - In his early manhood, he was 00tmected with the press of Pennsylvania and-Washington city, and was, we believe, a practical printer. The Springfield (Ill.) Register, upon the au thority of 'Geu. *SinAleton, pronounces the statement nOW going the rounds of the con servative press; to the effect that Gen. Fre niont had declared to Singleton his willing nesS tip accept the Democratic nomination. for .the - yresicleney, "a deliberate falsehood." According to the .hegister, Gen' Singleton as serts that-no such.lhinguage as that imputed to Gen. Fremont was - employed by him. The Boston Transcript has this, paragraph : "Hon. 'Wm. Whiting, Solicitor of the War Department left here thiS morning for Wash ington. ` ''This . - distinguished lawyer, we un't derstand, gives his services free to the Gov ernonent, and he has recently refused the re taining fee in a' head patent case, which would have brought him the stated sum of $16,600, preferring to give las services to his country. He is probably-the ablest authority on State and international law in the cotmtry, and his disinterested:action is worthy of uni versal imitation." When Morgan "raided" through Indiana and Ohio, Richmond editors called him the gallant cavalier of the South, and styled his .horserstealing and, old men and a'omen mur cluing operations "glorious" and chivalric.

EDITOR :—Sume days ago I .handed4O the local editor of the Patriot and Union . the following communication,which promptly ap'; peered in its columns: "Oun Commas Scsoats.----The common school system of our State is one of her proudest monuments. She has reason to con gratulate herself upon its excellence, and can look with honest 'pride upon what it has al ready accomplished. One of its admirable features is that, whilst it is adapted to all sec-- tions of the State, and capable of practical and profitable application to sparsely settled and poorer districts, it is at the same time sPe cially suited to meet the educational wants of larger towns and cities; and, when properly developed and applied, -secures, at the very lowest rate of expense, the very best education al facilities for the entire population_ That these excellencies of the system have not been illustrated in our own cityla no fault- of the system itself, but is owing mainly to two causes: . first, an unwarrantable, and unreasonable prejudice against-the system on the part of some of our leading citizens; and secondly, to a-defect:lto developement and up .plication Of the system ink the Parkof entrusted with its management in our com munity. Were it not for. the influence of these causes "we should now have our common selibolti thoroughly graded, the primary schools reduced in size and - supplied with truly capable teachers, and we should have one male and one female high school, to which our wealthier citizens, wilo are now paying their school taxes for;nothing, cotdd send their children without Any further' expense. 11:ie opinion is indeed entertained by game among us that such carefully graded schopls, culminating in a male and feneale high aehool for the entire city, have elsewhere proved - a failure. Wihave Veen at some pains to as .oertain the facts in the ease, and have. ob tained permission from the present Superin tendent of Common Schools of our State, C. IL Coburn, Esq., to lay before your readers several communications on this subject, which he has received from some of the leading ed ucators of the land, in answer to interrogato ries addressed to them by him, in consequence c. otir representation to him -of the present condition of the schools in our • A CHRISTIANPARENT.' In your evening issue of the same day, you noticed this item of your "morning cotempo rary," and expressed your deep interest in the subject proposed fo_.r , discussion promising to watch the course - o articles alluded to, and, as.you might, find them interesting, print such °Whom for the benefit of Your readers, as you might have room to insert in your columns. My second article for the Patriot , and Union was, however, declined, in the next morning's issue,in - the following paragraph: "o .cnutESlhtnllhaixs, —lt would afford us much pleasure to acomruodate "A Christian Parent, but he asks more room than wo can possibly spare in our limited department. The object he has in view is a good one, but it seems to us that the proper place to agitate the subject would be in the meetings of the board of school directors, -who have. the matter entirely in their own hands."_ To this I ieplied, iu tho neat issno, as fol lows: Borrow.—l um glad talcum that you approve of the object I have in view in calling public attention to' .the defective adminia' tra tion of common school affairs in our city, and am sorry to learn:that thelengtii of my second communication has deterred you from its publication. Please assign me a space, how ever limited, in your columns, and 1 - will eu deavor to, keep 'strictly within the. prescribed limita Be assured that very many of your readers feel interested in this question..-4d... desire its Ventilation. I must beg. leave -re spectfully to dissent from the. opinion that the school directors "have the matter entirely in their own hands." Are "they.not ppublic ser vants; and responsible to those who atipoint the% to office? Have we nci - right to chsciss publicly and freely their mode of aiimin' istering the trust confided to theni.? You surely spoke inadvertently, Mr. Editor, and 'I cannot be lieve, that, upon reflection, you will exclude from your columns a calm and friendly discus sion of this topic, so vital to the interests of the whole community, and ia which every property holder,has a personal stake. If you should nevertheless decide adversely to my wishes; r will be' doubly disappointed; for I perceive that the other daily paper proposes to transfer at least the substance of my re . marks to itS columns, and in that case the facts and reasonings would reach the readeis of both-papers ; • who are all equally interested, or should be. in this, which is no party quaq tiou. A CHRISTIAN PARENT." And to this note the Editor. .appended the following reply; 'We repeat, that we:regard the objectaimed at 'by "A Ohnstian Parent"as one of the high.: • est importance, and heartily approve of his views. Our only objection was to the great length of his second communication. If, in the discussion of the subject, he will confine himself 'Within reasonable bounds, our columns are at his disposal " My second` communication, however,- after beingset.up, was ordered. by the proprietor to be set aside ; and now, in •his absence from town, the editor declines assuming any fur ther responsibilityin the matter. I turn to you, Mr. Editor, hoping that, if you will be itind enough to lay these well meant and unpretending statements• and re ' flections-before your readers, the proprietor 'of the other journal will soon discover that !there is nothing in them but truth ; and ',just such truth as the great Mass. of his readers desire to 'mow. • - That grand old hero who was not afraid to "take the ..TrePeasibilit:n n Ased d • kt, the motto FiThithlana Front Fortress Monroe.
