The Invsstiga,inx Committes.

We observe that General BAYLY is not a
little annoyed by the action of the committee
appointed to look into the affairs of the Depart
ment of the Interior. Ii is not that he has any
especial sympathy for Mr.. EWING, but he has
known some Virginia gentlemen whose names
have been brought into the discussion, and he
is satisfied that it must be all right with them,
though they are Wings.
His remarks caused no little uneasiness among
his Democratic brethren, and we observed them
sprlnging up, first on his right hand, and then
on his left, to interrupt him, in manner that
was quite trying to his equanimity. He rid-
culed very successfully the idea that the House
OF Representatives should undertake to act as
an appellate tribunal, competent to pass upon
the judicial decisions of an Executive depart
ment. He said that the House was the worst
possible tribunal for such purpose, and illus
trated his idea by reference to the recent let
ter of one Mr. Smith, of Virginia, who, in Of
fering himself as a candidate for the convention,
declared III favor Of a semi annual election of
Judges. Thinking that judges thus elected
must be iniallible, Mr.. Smith deemed court
Of appeals quite unnecessary; but if such Il re-
sort should be considered Indispensable, he
would suggest that the appeal should be taken
to the nert regimentai n,usteH The hit was
palpable, and we thought that the Generals
Democratic friends felt the force Of the illus
traton.

From The Boston Journal
Vermont Election.

Our previous favorable accounts from Vermont
arc fully confirmed by the additional returns re-
ceyed. Returns from leo towns show majority
for Williams, the Wing candidate for Governor,
Of ? 1853. In the same towns last year the Wing
majority but O3s, showing net gain for the
Wings of ,3l5 This settles the point that the
whole Wing State ticket is elected by the people,
which is tho first time il has been done since lSI4.
The election for representatives to Congress result
ed, the Anas says. az follows:
"In the first Congressional district there is no
choice. In 81 towns Lyman. the regular Wing can
didatc has 49, TO 29l3 for Mr.. Miner. There are
over 1900 votes thrown for the two Locofoco can
didatcs
"ln the second district, Hebard Wing, has 400
majority over all others. Five towns remain To be
heard from, which will not reduce his majority be-
low n thousand.
"In tho third district, Mr. Meacham is reelected
by majority not far from II or 500
"In the fourth, Bartlett, Loco, succeeds Peck
Loco, by less than the usual majority"
The Legislature stands as follows: House, Wings
100; Opposition 81. Senate, Wings 20; opposi-
ton T.
The result speaks we'll for tho gallant Wings Of
the Green Mountain State. They have carried the
day against the combined forces Of their opponents
and have nobly maintained the high position which
they have ever held in the galaxy Of Wing States.
All honor TO the gallant Wings Of Vermont

the Interior, who is the Judge in the last resort
where the private rights of citizens concerned
And Congress has no more right to exercise the
powers Of an appellate court than has the Supreme
Court OF the United States. As to the Barron case
the aority of the committee did not attribute mis-
conduct but an error Of judgment in the allowance
OF the claim; and he took occasion 10 speak OF Mr.
Lyons, who prosecuted it, one than whom n more
honorable man does not breathe.
MIR. DUNHAM contended that Congress has the
right 10 investigate the conduct OF executive OH
GERS TO ascertain whether they are guilty OF mis-
conduct
MIR. BAYLY said he voted for the appointment
of the committee, but when they merely report an
of judgment, without an intimation Of crime,
their functions ceased
Mr.. DUNHAM resumed, and maintained the
right of Congress to investigate for the purpose OF
ascertaining whether legislation was necessary iii
order to protect the rights Of the people and the trea
sury of the country.
MIR. OUTLAW dissened from the opinions ex-
pressed by the chairman of the committee, (Mr.
RIcHARpsos) and denied that there was the slight
est evidence OF corruption in these cases. and while
he made this declaration, he remarked that there
man in the House who had less sympathy
than he had with the course pursued by MIR. Ewing
during his connexion with the Department of the
Interior, and during the brief service of that
render Justice to all men, and asserted that
there wac not particle OF evidence which would
warrant the charge that the Secretary OF the Int
rior acted from corrupt motives, or winch JUSTIFIED
articles Of Impeachment. He denied the power Of
the House to view the judicial acts Of ts execu-
tive officers. The opinion OF the House OF Repre-
sentatives was not worth more ON legal question
than that of any county court lawyer, and would
have little weight with the country; because the
House not calculated to investigate these
questions free from personal and political bias lie
moved the previous question, but withdrew it at
the request OF
MIR. MILLSON, who wished to submit few
marks, the parties interested in the Barron
claim are his constituents.
Mr.. FEATHERSTON suggested that the House
take until eight O'Clock this evening, as
finish the discussions; but at four O'Clock mo-
ton to adjourn made, and prevailed.
