The House Kdinrtkmal Bill- The
Investigating Committee.
[ M'n*h. Cor. lUlu Gas* tta,]
One of the re-xilts of establishing
the "Bureau of Education." is -ecu In
the "enforcement" project now
I before the House, known a*
\ "Hoar's bill." The provision of this
infamy may, without exaggeration. be
' characterised as abeolutely startling.
They propose to enteifore directly in
matters which concern a man's own
, household, and in the most tender re
lations. 'Admitting that the Gonatitu
tion of the United States is dead and
buried, is the centralism that is to fol*
| low to lie of the Peruvian type m ex
hibite*ljust prior to the coaquent by
Pittaro? Is (kngrt** to prescribe

•ball rend ? In short, go on front
Step to Step, until every social rela
tion shall be regulated by the central
political power.
Take care ? There ie more in such
1 movements than i- "dreamed of in
' the "philoaophv" of some. Thig peo
ple have been" "educated" to believe
i that * (JbtwmMumf," State or Federal,
had nothing to do \ Constitution or Bo
with the et/serifnor of
turn. The present movement. beyond
peradvenlure, aims to establish quasi
intidel "notions" by forea of law aa*l
the baronet, as the baaie of the new
model liepuhlic!
The moral* of the country have been
alreadv debauched, eo for as the ex
ample of the executive, and the powei
of Congress and it* o>*airtees can et
feet them. Ashley and Holt eel the
example of making light of the ohliga
tion of "an oath,"—that adamantine
chain that binds the integrity of man
to the throne of hie maker." Who
believe now a word that a majority c f
the witnesses swear to before commit
tees of Congree# ? Ie it not notorious,
that men have been summoned before
the "Investigatiug Committee" of the
Senate who were charged with fiuding
Ku-K|ux outrage* at the South, en
fovroijed by their very selection, to
commit barefaced nerjnry? The ly
ing report of the "committee" Pre
dicted npon lying testimony, will be
•raftered all over the country, aad I
hope every Democratic newspaper
will treat it with silent oomtempt.
Tbe "God and morality" rads
at Washingtou, are still keeping
things lively with their diagraeefal
quarrel# They have nearly all fallen
out with each other in their greed for
plunder. A dispatch, a lew days ago,
sap:
During the consideration of the de
ficiency appropriation bill iu the
house today there was a lively debate
between Butler and Fara* worth
The latter reiterated the charge that
Butler had used rnirrori and other
furniture of the treasury department
to furnish his house. Butler replied
with much personal bitterness, and for
some time there was au exciting scene
which was much enjoyed by members-
It is stated that Faro*worth has some
other charges which he intends to
bring out against Butler.
The present legislature must be a
iaxv one, the Morning Patriwt says it
may net adjourn until May. The
small amount of work performed tbu*
for indicates the extension of the sea.
siou until at least that lime.
The members of the house of repre
sentative* of this state have given a
most touching proof of their regard
for the memory of the iaimortal
Washington, by adjourning for too
(lays. The senate was not so patriotic
by half.
Philadelphia and Eric Railroad
(outpaay
The annual meeting of the stockhol
ders of the Philadelphia A Erie Rail
road took place at Philadelphia on the
13th inst. The annual report was
read which shows the total earnings
of the road to have been 93,144.044,71,
and the expenses 92,577.728,42, leav
ing as net proceeds 9666,819,20. The
report says that "notwithstanding a
fair increase ol passengers and freight,
the total earnings hare been Ja*< than
the previous year, which is accounted
for by the very low freight charges
rendered necessary to complete with
the Erie railroad of New York, whose
rates were so law as to render the busi
ness unprofitable to themselves aod
injurious to the interests of other com
panies. It is believed that this policy
will toon be abandoned, and relet es
tablished remunerative to all parties,
which can readily be done by mutual
agreement and a rigid adherence to
the rates udopted."
The folllowing statement shows in
detail the account of the road with the

After deducting 8340,731 67 due ua
construction account, lite receipts of
the road have ialleii short of the work
ing expenses and interest on the funded
debt 9268,833,13. A portion of this
deficiency is accounted for in the
necessity of paying gold instead of cur
rency for interest on a large portion of

to the low rates of freight charges.

Naato Domingo
The Santo Domingo' Com miwoonera,
or two of them rather, have written
aome private letters here, the contents
of which it would not, of courae, be
proper to publiah, hut the tenor ol
which indicates very clearly what we
may expect on the annexation Ques
tion. The Commissioners have alrea
dy discovered that Havti strongly op.
posee the transfer of Santo Domingo
to tha United State#, and is virtually
sustaining the revolutionary leader
Oabral. It is therefore very evident
that if the Dominican portion of the
island is annexed to the Uoitad states
this government will accept • war o*
no inconsiderable dimensions, especial
ly eo far as expense is concerned. It
remains te be seen whether Congress
will accept that sanation when the di
rect question of annexation nomas to
be decided. %
An act is before the legislature to

There is a Slight difference of opin

the leading characteristic* of the Rad

OootwertiaJ, says "the Republican
party is the pasty of organised rascali

of the first water, but Donn's testi
mony is corroborated by the facts, and
Smith's is not.

i Slue* the loth day of January, when the

I ta he stopped at all the niiua*. no coal has
1 been received in that city. The amount of

born and united up to this time, having
maintained tha longest and tnnat general
