In nv letter of the 9th October, informed
YOU that the Senate Committee would ADJOURN,

turn here the beginning of November. they
are now, as | anticipated, on that tour. Ii IS
true. they might have taken the testimony IN
those places by commission, and it was so pro-
posed in the Committee, but Mr. Grundy, the
chairman (having probably never visited Dos
toni, thought the Committee, with its clerk and
all at the public expense, had better repair Thu
Their, and his wish was acceded to.
Sore, indeed, were the probings of the Com
mittee into the corrupt establishment whose
misdeeds they have been trying to detect En-
ough, in spite of all mpedments, all delays, and
all the reluctance to yield information. has been

fligacy, as the incompetency OF the managers
of this department, had the report made at the
last session, not already satisfied every candid
mind on that head. cannot descend to partl-
culars but | can state generally, that II any
thing can rouse the public mind to sense of
the corrupt management of this department,
and the deplorable state of the government, 1t
will be the additional light, which will be thrown
| on the Post Office affairs, in the report OF the
committee at the next session. The corrup'
tionists resisted as well as they could and to get
at a fact was like pulling TOOTH but it was

distressing those perqusitions into their dark do
ings were Not being able to elude the enqul
ries in any other manner, and driven to des-

the inquiry was obliged to suffer temporary
relaxation. because the chief officers Of the de-
partment, from the Postmaster General down,
were all suddenly unable to leave their beds
A portion of the House Committee wish to
bolster up the department against the disclosures
which will be made by the Senate's Committee.
But they are completely foiled by the astuteness
of the opposition members, Messrs. Whittlesy
and H. Everett. The majority are checkmated
by the honest and searching course of these two
able members, and the whole scheme of white

MAJOR DowNINGs LETTER.
WASHINGTON, 18th Oct. 1884.

WASHINGTON, 18th Oct loo4.
To ny old friend, Mr.. Dwight, Of the New- YORK
Daily Advertiser.
find by the returns from Nep Jdrsy, IKE
them from Maine, that there was leet!e 100
mnch " Post Office Tape, Blanks, and Jtcine, "
for the Whigs-but that won't last forever, and
the only way is to hang on and do the best you
can, and as my old friend Capt Zebulon Good
enow nsed to saw in the old war, when he was
battlin agin the enemy, and was obliged to re-
treat for spell, Well" says he 81 didn't lick
EN- this time, but did give em most mortar
whelrin."
q word or two about the Pension business.
There is a plagy many rats al that 100 anu
there is no tellin yet how many will be rooted
out ;, 49,.
Last winter the Senate got lookin into this
business, and, as they thought that whenever
there was any money to be had there the Iats
were at work nibblin it was best 10 look INTO
this Pension matter They had jist rooted up
most everastin raft OF rats IN the fost orhce
and they thought best to set the terriers to WORK
smellin into the Pension Office, and see il there
warn't some rats there too, but the trouble was
how TO get at il; they looked over the Pension
List and one on 'em said swell, if General
Washington had such an army OF rale warriors
as we have here, batn the number that was
killed in battle (for they did fight like all natur
in the old war; and the number that must nave
died since of old age, its wonder he dd'n lick
the British in less than six weeks arter they land
ed here" So they concluded there must be
some rats at work and ordered all the names OF
the Pensioners printed, SO that folks all about
the country should see in one glance how many
pensioners were Twin, and how many rats was
eettin the pensions Of dead pensioners. Il haint
cot time now to look and see how the vote stood
on this resolution, but my friends Gales d Sc
ion who keep a strict account of these matters,
can tell)
Well, as soon as this resolution was past, the
rats began to smell "asateetaty," and there will
be considerable of a scamperin by the time the
Senate meets agin, or miss my guess; unless
some of the pension agents take the same stand
Major Barry does among the Post Office rats,
and say that the Senate haint got no right to
hunt rats in that quarter; that Congress amt the
people, &c. But the people, whose pockets
have to pay for all this nibblin, won't give it up
&" Pincher," and Snap" and Sanco," and
" Iorser," and .' Ferrii," are all sitting round
the pile of old barrels and lumber; they know
there are rats among it, and that they must come
out pretty soon, and then we shall have rale
chivy. 1.-THE people ony stand by and see fair
play, and don't throw stones at these faithful
watch dogs, there won't be a rat left to nibble
at the public crib.

CINCINNATI, ONO, Oct.

SiNIiNNhiiJ Univ, WI TO-
The reioicings for the great and glorious vic.
tory achieved in this city, have been kept up
until last night (three days.) The official re-
turns were announced yesterday, and imme-
datey AFTER preparations were made to dis
charge ninety-sic guns, that being the number
of the majority obtained by Mr.. Storer over
Mr.. Lyle. This accordingly took place in the
afternoon, on the public landing; and with other
manifestations of pleasure in the evening, the
frolic ended. This morning all is quiet, and
every man has returned to his usual avocations
with a much lighter heart than when he left
them on Tuesday morning to 60 to the polls
every man now feels that there is prospect Of
labor being worth somethng--of property be-
ing of substantial value, and Of retaining a
sound and wholesome currency. confess that
can scarcely realize that Hamilton County is
freed from bondage; that the collar that has
hung about our necks for or 10 years is Sc
vered, broken asunder, and that we at last can
breathe freely. The election has been a fair
test--none could be more so. Mr.. Lytle advo-
Gated all the measures Of the Administration;
went the whole "Slpineh against the present
and any National Bank; swallowed the whole
OF the Post Office corrurtions, and in every
way went for Glory and the Experiment. Mr.
Storer, on the contrary, advocated National
Bank condemned the acts of the AdminiSra-
ton, and adhered in all his stump speeches to
the true Wing principles. The battle has been
fought fairly, openly and manfully, by both can
didates, and the people decided against usurpa
ton and tyranny Mr., Lytle has;resgned his
seat for the balance Of the term for which he
was elected; and in his address to the people Of
the District, insinuates that this election has not
been a fair test, because Mr.. Storer's majority
is less than hundred, and because Gen. Lucas
received in this district few more votes than
Gen. Findlay. Does not Mr.. Lyle know, that
many of the Methodists went to the polls and
voted the whole Wing ticket, except the name
of Gen. Findlay, substituting that of Robert Lu-
cas-, and for the reason, and the only reason,
that Lucas is Methodist 1.-The does not know
this, do Two Methodist preachers, | am in

in the city, and very probably in the county.

The PoLIrIcAL ScREw.-A paper published
Augusta, Georgia, has adopted for It's motto he
following sentence, uttered in the Senate Of D.,
United States many years ago, by Abraham Bs
dwin, Senator for Georgia:
"My own opinion is, that It is the nature Ofsl
delegated power to increase: it has been yer
a2tly said TO be like the screw in mechanics i
holds all It gains. and every turn, it gains it,.
tie more"
Besides some other turns Of the screw vhE.
the Examiner says were made by Congress AMI
the Supreme Court, it notices, in the follow.
ing, manner the atrocious conduc: OF The Pres.
dent, in the assumption Of the power which h..
. longs to Congress alone:
7 No sooner had the Legislative branch Of Il.
| Government been driven away from the screE
| than the Executive thought il was an Outrage.
Gus thing that Congress and the Supreme Court
should make the government just what they
pleased, and so he took the screw into his owl
/ hands. The first turn he took, was on the N.
December, 1882, which completely annihilate!
the sovereignty ofthe States, established sing,
military despotism over what were before twer
ty-lour distinct free republics. Finding thattb
people were delighted at this his first effort o
the screw, he gave a second turn, and complete
ly crushed the power of Congress by taklnl
away from it the control Of the treasury. ThE
he followed up by sundry gentler turns, such a
appointing cabinet ministers without the advic,
and consent Of the Senate, denying to tha
body the right to express an opinion upon wha
it deemed an Elective usurpation of power, &c
until finally he has converted the governmer
into a complete autocracy in which his will th
law Of the land. In this position does the ma!
ter now stand, and it would be dffcutto SHOW
wherein this government, as now administered
is less of an absolute monarchy, than that

rected by the Secretary ofthe Treasury to place
his Custom House Bonds in the Bank of the Me-

having bond falling due the past week for near
$4,000, applied to the Board of that Bank for
discount to aid him in taking up his bond. He
did not obtain dollar, and was obliged at
whatever sacrifice, to pay up the whole amount
