Mr. Campbell, from the select committee on
legislative frauds, made a report, generating
all parties from Intentional fraud with re-
spect to the salaries of employees at the Capitol
On the first part OF the subject Of their In
vestigation, with respect to the Minnesota
Railroad Land bill, Mr. Breckenridge present.
ed the report of the majority of the committee,
expressing the opinion that fraud was not in
tended, together with bill.
Mr.. Campbell made q minority report there
on, accompanied by bill to repeal the Sd
section, in which the fraud is alleged to have
occurred.
Mr.. Breckinridge and Mr. Campbell ad-
dressed the House at length, upon the subjects
Of these reports
After q protracted debate,
Mr. Breckenridge called for the previous
question on the Recommendation of the COM
mittee to print the report, and discharge the
committee from ne further consideration of
the subject
On motion of Dir. Campbell, the question
was divided; the committee was discouraged,
and the reports were ordered to be printed
The bill reported by the committee was rsed
q second time The substitute bill of the mi.
nority repeating the second section, was re-
jected.
Mr. Craige proposed az substitute MIR.
Letchers BILL repeating tho whole bill, which
was adopted; and the bill thus amended, was
finally passed.
Mr. Hunt arose 10 privileged question !;
and, as no member on the other side of the
House had done 50, moved the expulsion of
Mr. John w. Forney, the Clark Of this House.
Mr.. Stephens of Georgia, thought no cul-
pability had been shown, and that the action
was not necessary.
Mr.. Orr said. the reports of the Committee
had acquitted the Clerk, as well as all mem.
bers of this House, of fraudulent intentions.
He should have moved his resolution sooner
The debate upon this resolution is still in
progress.

further stated that the administration at Wash.

authorities of Sutherland with thss dis
avowL We do not believe anything Of the
kind George Sanders, an American citizen,
living for the present in London, has perfect
right TO express whatever sentiments he pleases
on the policy Of Switzerland or any other
subject, and to print and circulate the same.
Our Execut We have no more business to dis
avow what he says or to direct their agents

Mr.. Sanders statements did not bind the gov
eminent of the United States, and could not
therefore form the subject OF an official disa-
vowal. Still, Mr.. Pierce and his Cabinet have
committed so many absurd acts that it
of the kind we're sent to Mr.. Fay. 1t is just
possible that the administration, In the natural
course Of it's imbecility, may have directed its
agent in Switzerland to disavow the letter of q
private American citizen; and this on the
ground that that letter contained sentiments
Objectionable in parts of Europe, but firmly
inplaI ted in the breast OF every American,
and forming in fact the corner stone Of the
edltice of republican liberty in America. 1t
would be extraordinary that Mr.. Pierce and
Mr. Marcy should have repudiated the doc
trines on which our government and their au-
thority rest, and published that repudia-
ton in such way as to violate in the
grossest manner the rights of q private
citizen but things nearly as astounding have
been known before. The best thing to be done
under the circumstances is to call for the dipio-
matte correspondence between the Executive
and Mr.. Fay. Let some member of Congress
move for its production at once, go that the
ruth may come to light.

Mayor Smith, it will be remembered, took all
