Hon. Thomas II. BaIly.

The charge OF corruption against this gentle
man, recently made in connexon with the Mex-
can indemnity bi,acied ON some years since ana
while he was Chairman of the Committee of
Ways and Means Of the House Of Representa-
hyes, seems to be received every where with the
disgust and contempt which il no doubt Justly
merits. Willie there is reason 10 believe that
corruption of a startling character is yearly
prsctised with impunity by mmy of the para
sites of popular and Governmental favor who
congregate in Washington city, it is gratifying
to know that no such stain has ever yet fallen
upon representative in Congress, of the mo
raj an well as the political sentimental the
people of the Old Dominion. We think Mr.
BaIly was right in demanding and insisting,
as he did, upon committee to invest.
gate the charges against him No one who knows
aught of tho character of the man, or who
does not regard him through the disoooured
light OF his own innate corruption, can for
moment entertain doubt as to what the
finding of that committee will lie. Yet it
is due General Baily. and il is due Virgin
ia that the charges should be investigated;
and, if false. that they should be thrown back
with all their hdeous criminality upon the guilty
head that originated them. The accusasious we're
presented by a Mr.. B.E.Green,a son of Gen. Duff
Greenland derive some Importance from the pa
terniy, if not from the character of the miserabe
vagabond" las styled by Mr. Walsh of New York;
who made them.-fIence the greater necessity
for their investigation.
The Washington Sentinel gives the following
as the substance of the Indictment viz That the
Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means
ofthe Thirty second Congress used improper
means,if not wful misrepresentation and false
hoodinvolying a breach of trust of the House, Ia
secure the passage of bills paying indemnity To
Mexicowith fullknowledge and purpose that the
money appropriated would go to Mr.. Corcorar
and others,and with further knowledge that near
half million of dollars would be lost to the United
States.

IMPORTANT TREATY BETWEEN THE u. STATES
AND misunderstanding Marcy, it is reported,
has just concluded treaty of neutrality between
the IT, Siates and Russia, with the Russian Charge
at Washington. The Star says:
This treaty, as we understand it, covers and
guarantees-as between the great powers OF tho
European continent and that Of the Western Hem
isphere-- all the important principles which this
government sought to incorporate-or rather, in
into the law of nations, in their recent
efforts to effect similar treates with Britain and
France. 1t will be remembered that these two
latter powers, though declining, so far, to treat
with the L. States on such subject and basis,
hive formally declared their intention Of being
governed throughout the present European war,
by the printiples and international policy invov
ed in these efforts of ours. We therefore pre-
sumo that Russia, having thus honorably come
forward and Invested herself of the power of ta-
king advantage of any such stipulations with the
United States made by her antagonists in tho
current war, they TOO, will hasten to carry out for
mally the views which they have, as above ex-
planned, infornally endorsed those which should
govern powerful and heightened nations in the
era, when unfortunately, engaged in war,

RARE BooK.-As a work of art, nothing of a
similar nature well surpass curiosity at
preson. to be at the Messrs. Appleton's Book
Store in this city. 1t comprises Il series of four
volumes of paintings of the animal kingdom
quadrupeds, birds, insects and fishes, executed on
archment extending TO 270 pages per volume,
each page in many cases contains several figures.
The pictures are of an oval FORM each surnoun.
ted by an appropriate quotation from various elias
steal authors, in quaint antique manuscript. tits
the undaubted production of George Hoefnagel
who died in the year 1900, having in addition to
his renown painter acquired considerable
credit as poet. The drawings are colored the
very counterpart to nature, by peculiar process
the secret of which died with the inventor So
perfect is the accuracy of the ingenious thinner,
that these representations of natural Objects espe
cially animals, receive the identical appearance
of their composition; and the most delicate capil-
larry fhres of an insect, in these paintings, bear
the appearance of having been transferred to the
pai chment. Accompanying documents show that
those paintings were executed by the author at
the command of his Emperor at the price of
thousand gold crowns per volume, and that a GER
tain connaisseur, Cardinal Farnasi, DESTROYS of
possessing them, considerably outbd tho Empe
ror; the author, however. considered his contract
with his roy master to be binding. 1t appears
thai it occupied period of % years before its
completiona the drawings being taken from life,
and many of their originals being exceedingly
rare. It'll offered for sale in this country,in the
hope that some public library, or wealthy patron
of art may become its purchaser. The propri-
etors in EuropN, owing to a succession of rever
ses, are unable to re ain it. We understand it is
offered at the reduced price OF $1,000, and togeth-
with the documents of its Authorization will be
cheerfully shown by the gentlemen in whose care
