The ro• ;,Irt to which we have referred, goeis on state that the:attention of the Commit- z - „ , ,llrst called to an official l'eport of the "Jannittee on Expenditures: on --Public in 1864, (37th Congres, 2d Ses ..in•, Report No. 137,) in which it appears :,f this Mr. Clark was then 'acting engi :per In.;charge of the Bureau of Construe under- the Treasury Department—a ikee given him, it appears, by the testi ,n'my 'submitted to that Depaltment; sal: 4l A any training or previous qualifies- Huts engineer \ The report cistinctly tt 1 effectively charges and proves that the r Ew tiperinterident of thed3ures, pf Print ' ng the Public!!

Re presentativas,mnd can there be seen and teed at Ifitith. • Ti t o Committee' that I - • __ VOLUME 35,, (and thesCommittee, ton, created by a Be.- publican Efnu - Se ) unhesitatingly advised tbe_removal of-this S. M. Clarke. It seems from this statement that in looking about the count=y to find an hon est, faithful and competent person to con- duct the issue 'of an amount of paper money, shch,as no - tuition-ever before - put in circulation, I.tr. Lincoln could find no; body better than Mr. S.IM. Clarke, whosis official misconduct had just been etpOsed in a Congressional report. Here, then, w have a man whose dereliction_ tohis dut in a public position had been clearly es•\ tablisb i ed,.placed by air. Lipcoln in anoth- 1 er, poll more responsible. Under "his system," he says, that he "would. be detec ted in an over-issue in forty-eight hours." In other words, the only check upon Mr. Clarke, is Mr. Clarke's "system." A thief allowed to forge his own fetters and to ad just the lock of the jail; might say that he was held in durance by. "his system:" but we:suspect the fetters wold have a con venient flaw in in them, and that the lock . would not refuse to turn uude4'''thu pres sure of a secreted nail. Wheni:Mr. Clarke locked himself within the bounds of hon. aty with that "system," we wonder if he didn't take the precaution to provide him self with means offelling - out. -.Did he throw away the.key But the most wonderful ,lhing,about this man's career has been the halcyhood and contempt, even for itppearance - s, to say nothing of common decency, which he bas displayed in his immoralities. We prefer to adopt the language of the. Com e mittee on, this subject.. Referring to a mass of affidavits in their Iposaession, madoby young ;Vernon who had been em ployed in the Printing Bureatti-t r hey say : These affidavits disclose a maps of ire-, morality and profligacy, the more atro cious as these women were employees of Clarke, hired and paid by him 'with the public money. These women seem to have been seleited in the Printing Bureau for their youth and personal attractions.— Neither the laws of God, or of man, the 'nst 4 itutiob of the 'Sabbath, nor eentmon decencies of We, seem, to have been re spected _by Clarke in , his conduct. with these _ - A Treasury Bureau, where is priced the money r - tepresentativa or expression of the property. aud of all the indu - stry of the Country, where the wages of labor are more or,leas regulated. and upon the faith and good 'conduct of which depends, more or less; every man's nrosperity, urtonverted into a place for aebaucher l and drinking. the very recital of wllich - la impossible without violating decency. Letters go .thence arranging to clothe feinalea in male attire to visit low haunti of dissipation., The statements of the 'committee are more than borne but by the affidavits re.. ferred to, Aid which are now - iserortrus, but they are of such a scandelona 'nature that - witigannot print them in our eel emus. A person named Henderson Teems to have been partner of Clarke!ii mid night orgies; while their - victims were in varibly yoUng women selected from the Printing Bureau, mill shown by the ; sworn statements - 45 f Miss Ella Jackson, Miss Jennie Germon and As Laura Duvall. This Henderson• was one of Clarke!, official deputies. It was proved before the Committee that this.pair of worthies had under their care at a single tizito sixty four titillions of &ars, ready forlisik, and without anything' in the world bu their own hon esty and virtue to direct thoni in the dis charge ,of their official duties.. These trtorn statements of these young woman, and others, were laid before Secretary Chase by Mr. Jordon;-Solicitor of the Tiea sum who had been desired to investigate the matter. In presenting the evidence he said : I have* further, in obedience to your or der, called before me most of the persons whose affidavits are herewith transmitted, and made-Auch other inquiries as it ;has been in my power to make touching the matter stated in the affidavits, and the result is an entire conviction that the most material of these statements are true, par ticularly those :oclntained in the affidavits of Ella Jackso n,Jennie Germon and Laura Duvall. After reading these things, the, *5-xcla mation of every honest man would be : "Of course this man ;was removed imme diately—but have his 'official accounts been investigated ? Has he been arrest ed?" These and a thousand like queitions would rise to the lips of an honest man on readillt the shameful' story of this man's debaucheries. What will be his surprise then, when he is told Clarke has not been removed at 'all 2 Ho still holds hie place, still prints his .tens and hundreds of millions monthly, still enjoys the unbounded confidence of Mr. Lincoln, and has the 'same share ikthe affections of Mr. Fessenden that he had in those of Mr. Chase. Let the thinking, honest peg• plc) of this country reflect on these things. Let them remember thai the control of our vast paper currency is held by a man whose official miseoucluct was long ago. made public ,in a congress ional report,- and, the wickedness and indecency 'of whose private life are so dre adf4y shame ful that the ishote'itory of it dare not be told in s.reiqaxitatile newspaper,-Let thein remember that Mr. Lincoln, fully aware of these things, has retained 'this man in office, and has thus made himself respon: sible for misdeeds which he might have repudiated by turning him out.,, Striking article bin a Nelms:id Paper. Lincoln Declared olthe South's best Ally." [Frew the Ridicule ZZeitheee, Oct. IT.] Some doubt remains as to the political complexion of Pennsylvania. The press of the United States has become so radi crally mendaCious that it- is impossible to put trust in the tryst accounts of an event so publio and_ plain as the result, of an : election.. Sonia days may yet. 'elapse -be , : fore certitude is attainad. But we enter tain strong hopes that the.

The- enemy talk of the despotism which drags conscripts into the Southern armies, and forces old men and children into the diltches, but the' des potisna which coerces the South is:seated at Washington, and not at Richmond. 'The Confederacy has proved that it had nerve and resolution to achieve an idde pendent . destiny ; ,but it. is 'indebted: to Lincoln or forcing these qualities-into*- tion. - f - The disruption of old political as:sooia dons is always a hazardous experiment.

The popular Ma ,,jority might have been disposed, at the first soft words from the enemy; to re. nouns* the Southern cause and return to the enjoyment of repose, prosperity and dishonor. Mr. Lincoln has prevented such; a continaqncy, and relieved the South of all these dangers—by a course of policy I which rendered reconciliation- impossible. !
