The Joseph Walker investigation, report of
which we print, yesterday opened rather rich
exposing the way bills snd resolutions are en-
gineered through the Common Council. Mr.
Walter X. Jones testified that after he had got
his contract, Alderman MOsier of the Third
Ward requested an interview with him, when he
informea him that the Board of Councilmen hal
passed a resolution authorizing the Street Com
missioner to ad 'ertise for proposals to remove
the wreck Of the ship Joseph Walker, and that
he, (Moser,) as Chairman Of the Committee on
wharyes, Piers and Slips, had the resolution in
his hands; he believed jones had contract for
this work, and would like to have this resolution
suppressed or kept back. Jones replied that he
had got all honest contract, which he was carry
ing cut, and therefore he did not see that the
Common Council could disturb him. MOser
replied thst he did not wish to say much about
the matter then, but would send friend to con-
fer with him. Accordingly. in day or two Mr..
Jones was waited ON by Ex-Alderman George
II. Covert of the Thirteenth Ward and the re-
suit Of the interview was that Mr.. Jones was
given to understand that Mr.. Covert possessed a
great deal Of influence in the Com non Council,
and that for s. 600 he woald stop this resolu-
ton. Mr.. Jones declined TO accept this liberal
proposition, and he saw 10 more of the Ex-
Alderman; but subsequently Alderman Mosier
asled him if he had seen George (meaning, as
he supposed, Alderman COVERT. Tie replied in
the affirmative, when the Alderman Sf the laird
asked ifhe had made any arrangement about the
resolution, aud Mr. Jones sSid he had not, be.
cause he could not realize that be was to gain
anything by doing so. Subsequently, while
taking glass Of wine together at the Irving
House, Mosier requested Jones to say nothing
about his connection with the Joseph Walker
business, and he did not until il was forced out
Of him by the Committee; hog il had leaked
out he couldn't tell Then there was a delicate
development Of champagne and chicken sup
per at SheIwood's, which Alderman Hertick ILL.,
yiied Nr. Jones to give to himself and some
half dozen other Aldermen. Following that
was an abortiye attempt to show that Alderman
Herrick had endeavored to extort $500 black
mail for the suppression of Article in The San
day atlas exposing the Joseph Walker contract.
Alderman Herrlek however got up and stated
to the Committee that if anybody came to him

he ceases to have any sors Of property ia that
slave. Whether he DteUds TO reside there or

no power which can c)ngert him back into A

AZ matter of course, the leading Administra-
ton journals do not miss so good an occasion
the Wheeler slave case affords to avOuch anew
their fidelity to those degrading doctrines, which
have identified the Democratic party with the
maintenance and extension Of slave breeding aud
the slave-trade. Both The Union and The Penn
sslrdnian are forward to denounce as robbery
the course Of the citizens of Philadelphia who
informed Wbeeler's former slaves that they
had now become free, and who aided them in
syailng themselves of the new rights thus con-
ferr,d upon them. But not content with the
fierce utterance of its Indignation at these indi-
viduals, The Union even cOntemplates Furnishing
the City Of Philadelphia for the act. We quote
from that journal:
The questions naturally arise, have the people Of
the South the constitutional right to the possession
and Ute Of certain description Of property, and this
night being conceded what measures should be
adopted to force those Northern cities and States now
under the joint domination of Know nottingham and
Abohionism into prompt recognition aud 0bserv-
ance of paramount obligation Of the Federal compact
In Philadelphia and Boston, where Know Nothingism
has full and ain ost undisputed sway no Southern gen
tleman is saie from ruian violence if he has the e-
meiity to bring with him his servants
The Pennsylvania, equally irate at any tri-
umph Of Freedom over Slavery, no matter how
limited or accidental enters into an elaborate
legal argument to prove that Wheeler had a
right to keep his bondmen in Pennsylvania and
thus to introduce there the slayedriviDs laws Of

The Tribune has a dissertation on " Ladies'
Fall Fashions" Here are specimen bits -
Bulwer denominated morning wrappers
'the worst of all possible dsenchantments
One cannot impute to that fastdious gentle
men bad taste on so delicate a subject so ,
there must be be some mistake as to his
meaning; certainly we are not to understand
that he so designated our morning wrapper,
which, whether of the most simple or the
most complex and costly material, is still tho
most attractive. the most beautiful of all
feminine belongings. a lady should always
pay particular attention to this portion Of her
wardrobe; the mere fact of its being, unlike a
dinner promenade, or evening dress, almost
entirely untrammeled by fashion, subject to
the control of her individual taste alone,
should make it graceful study that it may
be worthy Of her. Modists have almost ex-
hausted their ingenuity in attempts to vary
this article Of dress; there Is no change in the
construction-only in the trimmings can
new effect be produced. Our Broadway stores
are replete with every variety Of robes-de-
chan,Jre all possible latitude as to contrast
and color is allowable in them, and it is GER
tainly taken advantage Of. Quite brilliant
effect is produced By slashing bright trim
mings with black velvet bands; to a warm
brunette a dove-colored silk robe with cherry
silk facngs. slashed with narrow black vel
vet, would be most attractively becoming -
" Never perhaps have the delicate myster-
les of lady's Undertaking been more
elaborately ornamented than during the past
year; there is so nething undccountably
acceptable to a refined taste in the idea of
luxury INDUCED in, not for the sake of dis
play, hut from an innate love of delicacy of
material and decoration even in the most
hidden and minute details of ones wardrobe,
and much as this may be condemned as
efeminate or extravagant, all the world has
but one opinion Of the woman who sacrifice.
it to outside considerations.
Since children's clothes form Il by no
means unimportant speciality, it would be
objectionable to pass them by without men
tion. Infants, outside Of the nursery, now-a-
days exist to the eye of faith alone. for they
lie buried under mass of embroidery. so in
discriminatory and tastelessly piled VI pom their
soft, tender bodies, that it is difficult to dis
tinguish any life under it at all Older
children circulate the same amount of
embroideries in proportion to their size, but
by freer locomotion they manage to make
their existence more apparent
