Why IL ITf--I see by the proceedings Of the

from the city Of New York, voted against the res
olution authorizing the appointment Of commit
tee 70 investigate the assault Of Brooks upon Sum
ner This same Kelley voted for the resolution Of
Mr.. Knowlton to investigate the case Of Herbert

administration men, or so-called Democrats Why
Is It that Kelley voted for the resolution in one
case, and against 1t in the latter case The Her
bert case was against an Irishman and Catholic,
the latter Is against a native and an abolitionst -
The inference then is, that Mr.. Kelley was anxious
70 have an investigation when an Irishman was
concerned, because be was an Irishman. Win you,

FLAGG on THE SrAND.-In another column will
be found communication from Comptroller
Flagg in reply to some recent observations OF
ours on the profits made by the political clique
with which he was connected in Albany, out OF
the consolidation of the Central Railroad lines.
Mr.. Flagg states that in 1851 he subscribed for
len shares Of stock in the Mohawk Valley Rail
road, and paid thereon ten per cent--equal to one
hundred dollars In 1852 be resigned bis office
as President, and on the same day sold out his
stock for the exact sum paid IN With this ey-
ceptiCn lie never was interested, directly or in
directly, in any one Of the twelve companies
which were consolidated In the Central Railroad
lie adds further, that from the time he was
chosen Secretary Of State in 1925, to the close Of
ls47, when he ceased to be Comptroller of the
state, he never from principle subscribed for
single share Of stock in any company incorpo-
rated by the Legislature during bis connection
with the State government

which he paid over to Nj. Ebling the whole
Of this large SUM in less than seven months,
violating thereby one Of the provisions Of the

which affect him only indirectly, we trust that

in the matter Of this appropriation he has acted
from the same strictness OF principle which he
claims credit Tor III bis bank and railroad opera
