"LET THERE BE LIGHT.

We congratulate the people that the cause OF
truth and justice has triumphed in the House Of
Representatives, over those who love darkness
rather than light because their deeds are evil
Afler every shin TO avoid an investigation of the
frauds and peculalions upon the peoples treasure,
by any committee, SAFE one to be selected by the
Speaker and hoping al last TO stave II off to so late
period in the Session that little progress could be
made, the Loco Focos were obliged on Thursday
evening TO yield to the paramount determination
Of majority of The House, who voted that the
committee should be raised By ballot by vote Of
lib yeas TO l0s nays This was the first step in the
triumph Of the opposition which evidently broke the
strength OF the Loco Foco forces, that they were
unable TO rally again for any effective purpose
The relative representation Of the different parties
upon the committee, was previously insisted upon
by the opposition, and the result has proven thai the
foes of investigation compelled reluctantly to
submit to the known pre-delerminaon Of the
Wings and Conservatives. We are especially graft
fed at this result since it is measure of great i'm
por,ance 10 the people of The Union which we have
steadily urged for long time past.
The following nine gentlemen were selected to
constitute the committee, after two ballotings

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
FRIDAY, January Is.


As soon as the journal had been read,
MIR. ELMORE renewed his motion OF last even
ing to be excused from serving on the select COM
mittee of investigation.
Mr.. E. said that by acting on the committee he
would be placed in false position. He took it for
granted that the committee had been organized WIN
a view of having each party represented. He had
no doubt but that his friends, in elecing him. had
acted from false impression that he was true Ad-
ministration man, and as such, would represent
them in the committee iie wished to state that ne
had been friend of the Administration, and would
still give it his support but in the proper sense OF
the word he was not an Administration man. His
position was that of free, independent member, act
ing for himself, and influenced by no party or party
principles. Under such circumstances, he thought ii
Just that his views should be made known, that the
Administration party might not be deceived in their
expectation that he was party man. so lar as his
personal services were required in any way when he
could act in his position, he had no desire to
shrink, as the fact of his being already on three
committees would prove.
Mr.. WISE opposed the motion. He thought that
every other gentleman would have the same right to be
excused
mr., DAWSON disclaimed that he would represent
the interest Of any party in the committee. He would
represent the interests Of the country only.
After some debate of desuory character between
Messrs Petriken, Bouldin, Pickens and others
Mr.. BOON said, that from the first il had been his
conviction that the House would have packed"
committee. He had expected nothing else; but he
trusted that no democrat would acl on it. He hoped
