Wing CANDIDATE FOR GoyEREoR.--The
Lancaster Gasette proposes Col. Van Trump
of that place as q candidate for nomination
for the office of Governor, before the 22d OF
February Convention. A good suggestion,
and nomination fit to be made. The Col.
is good man, a good Wing; would DO honor
to the Office and execute the laws faithfully.
He is well and favorably acknowledgement
the State, by his unceasing labors in behalf
Of the cause Of the people. We shall De
glad TO see our friends throughout the State
suggest the names of those that would be
their choice respectively, in order that when
the Convention meets it may have plenty OF
good material to make a selection from. IL
is the intention of the Muskingum wings
we believe, to present the name OF Charles
e. Conyers, Esq, whose claims and quailf'
cations, will. suffer no disparagement by
comparison with others who have been men
toned. With either of the persons nnmet
for our file leader, we opine the Wings woui'
be able to make breach in the ranks ofLo
cofocoism, and have reasonable prosPec
of taking the fortress itself. MusKINeuM.

any man Mill that will produce one that will grind
as much good meal in twelve months with as little re-
pairs-or he will give any Mill that will find

RepOrt of the Committee on Frauds.

We mentioned Yesterday that the Senate's COM |
mittee appointed to investigate cases of alleged
fraud, abuse, &C., made its report on Wednesday.
The report, with an appendix containing in detail
the testimony on which it IS founded, is IN the
hands of the compoSitors, the Printing Commit
tee having directed that it be printed at once
We have not, therefore, had an opportunity of e.
ven glancing over the manuscript which has been
sent to us from the committee. The proof sheets
of the first thirty pages Of the report are be-
fore us, and from them Te learn that the commit
tee has investigated and reported on four cases
The first case is that of contract for the build
inc of certain lighthouses in California and Ore
gon, given privately by Mr. Corwin, late Secreta-
nv of the Treasury, to clerk in the department,
with the expectation and consent that the clerk
would sell the contract at large profit. Before
the contract was concluded, the clerk received as
his partner in the speculation, at the instance OF
Mr.. Corwin, one of his personal friends, then un-
known to the clerk; and subsequently, on the So
citation of this partner, he received as the third
member of the partnership very near relative OF
Mr.. Corwin. The contract thus obtained was u
nally sold to the contractors-the late Secre-
tarv of the Treasury being aware that 1t was Of
fered in the market-at a profit of fifteen thous-
and dollars. The sub-contractors were accepted
in place of the original contractors and the orlgI-
nal contract cancelled The profit of fifteen thous-
and dollars was ulfl0eO UtGHcCA IuO WIN A1lS
mariners, and was paid by draft on the treasury
of the United States. Subsequently nodifica-
ton of the contract in favor of the sub-contrac-
tors. to the amount Of seven thousand FIVE hun
dred dollars, was procured through the agency OF
the first partner in the original contract introduced
( by Mr.. Corwin-the fee paid for such agency be-
inc nine hundred dollars. These particulars are
taken from the synopsis of evidence given IN the
committees report, and are accompanied by 9th
ers of the gravest character, all of which Will De
presented By us in detail when We have done JUS
lice TO the second case-that relating to the Capl-
tol extension, to which we give precedence, al
wcll because of its magnitude as for the reason
that we have already made some progress in it
consideration. We say now, however, that every
tb;ng We have stated in that behalf based on rep
soss9ta,;ons of the testimony, is fully borne ou
hv the proofs. The report Of the committee July
systa;ns all the allegations Of fraud, abuse, an s
Ien,hezzement which have been put torth 70 3, GU

There's nothing but love

And nothing but woe
Below;
There's nothing but tears
And fears,
For years,
Wherever on earth we GO.
How often will grief
The thief!
Come in to destroy
Our joy:
How often our breath
Brings DEATH
Which saith
That beauty is toy!
How full is our life
Of strife;
IT'S seldom the eye
Is dry!
How often the heart
Must smart,
And part
With the loved ones called to die.
How sweet is the thoaght,
That naught
Shall trouble the breast,
When blest
With its wings of ights
All white
And bright,
Like those in the land Of wrest.
From sorrow set free
Wy'll be
With our God and King,
And sing
A tribute of praise,
And raise
Our lays
Till the realms of glory ring.
There's nothing but love
Above
And nothing but woe
Below
Then why should we sigh
To die,
And fly
Where tear-drops never can nov
