Party before Coantry---HoweI Cobb.

This accomplished wire-puller and political
tactician declared yesterday to the House that
the preservation Of the organization of the adj
ninistration party, alias the Irish Brigade, was
more important than the organization OF the
House Of Representatives To appreciate the
fun intent and meaning of this revolutionary
proclamation it must be borne in mind that
Mr. Cobb is identically the same man who was
elected Speaker in 1s4e under the operation of
the plurality rule; subsequently elected Gov
ernor of Georgia, in opposition to the nominee
of the Georgia Democratic party, which was
then, as now, the disunion party; and since
defeated for the United States Senate by lver
son. In the Senatorial contest the Cobb men
stuck to Cobb, notwithstanding he knew (and
he was on the ground experimenting the mat
ter) that his election was impossible, and that,
by his persistent efforts, some one of those
whom he had in the Gubernatorial canvass de-
nounced as traitors and disunionists would
succeed. Unity ofthe Cobb men was the pro-
gramme then now it is unity of the party. In
both instances country was lost sight Of
In the gubernatorial canvass it was the sue
cess of Cobb not word about party then.
And now, when there is no possible chance, in
any contingency, of his election, party discip-
line, party tactics, party machinery and chica-
merry are paramount to the organization Of tho
popular branch of the National Legislature,
which is essential to the carrying on of the
government Sapient statesman! He is hor-
rifed at g the proscriptiye oaths Gas he calls
them) of the American party; but Sag NIGHT
caucus resolves are held by him in greater rev.
erenee than the Ten Commandments. With
what a sensitive conscience he must be afflict-
ed EB 81
We presume the honorable gentleman is
aware that he is member of the Thirty fourth
Congress, and that he is entitled to eight dol
lars per day. Did his constituents send him
to Congress to organize his party, or the House
Of representatives, Does he get paid to pre-
serve the organization of his party, or to legis-
late for the country It is possible the coun-
try would be more blessed by his labors, though
unavailing, to preserve the organization of his
party, than by any attempt on his part to legis-
late.
We wonder if this great political prodigy
this nondescript statesman--this profound Sag
NIGHT apostle was sent all the way from
Georgia to Washington to teach the people
and the country" the follies, tricks, schemes,
machinery, double-dealing, Janus-facedness, Of
their party tools and hacks ? If 50, he has in
the person Of one Howell Cobb, furnished in
dubitable evidence of the blighting and with
ering effect of party machinery upon the ma
tural and patriotic impulses of the American
people. Party above country! What mon
strous declaration The author of such SEN
timent is impotent for good, but potent as the
servile slave of party for evil.

further am not satisfied, ON the evidence before
me. that he himself is personally entitled.
Respectfully, Jso. T. Towers, Mayor
To Messrs. j. II. Wolard, John Davis,
Samuel Murphy, and David 7. Kurtz
In which Mr. Bradley concurred, as follows
H"That the claim of j. H. WoIlard is inadmissi-
BILE, because he originally stated, under oath, that
Mr.. Murphy was entitled to the reward, and that
claim being rejected he now sets up demand for
himself The two claims are wholly inconsistent,
and am not satisfied, on the evidence before me,
that he is himself personally entitled"
From these decisions ]. F. Wolard appeals to
this Board, and the Board has referred the whole
matter tc the Committee on Police.
Your committee have carefully examined the
testimony and have arrived at the conclusion that
neither Murphy, Wollard, nor Kurtz have any
claim TO the reward
They are of the opinion that j. Il. Wollard, the
petitioner to this Board for relief who in his test-
mony before the court, swore, as certified to by
Darlington and Ennis, that he received the first
information from West, and that he had not re-
ceivcd either Information or an intimation from
any one else, and who subsequently made an affi-
davit on the Sd of August, 1853, that Murphy
gave him the first information has contradcted
himself, and by these two conflicting affidayts,
disproycn any title on his part to the reward
Your committee ask that the foregoing report
may DC puDnbneu WIN the proceedings, anu tnat
they may be discharged from the further consde-
ration Of the petition.

Arrest OF am American Crtizen in ItaIy.

in rescung from a certain ignomnious death of the
Hungarian exile, Martin Kozsta, seems to have
been totally forgotten by the Austrian Government.
similar outrage has been perpetrated of late by
Austria on another American citizen, notwthstand-
ing his naturalization papers and the United
States passport, signed by the Austrian Consul at
Genoa
We hope that our government will take the mat
ter under serious consideration, and make Austria
feel that American citizens be they native or natu-
ralized ought to be respected and not thrown into
dungeon, at the caprice Of some Austrian pro-
consul
We call the special attention Of Secretary Marcy
to the following correspondence on the subject:
To the Editor of the Waterman and Crusader.
MILAN, Dec. %, 1865.
MY DEAR FRIEND: The Austrian police has
been guilty of another vilanous act, similar If not
worse, to the attempt Of kidnapping Martin Kozs-
Ia from the shores of Smyrna. You will learn with
sorrow that Mr.. Felix Origoni, sea captain, a
person highly esteemed for his bravery in the war
of Italian independence in 1S48-'49, was arrested
yesterday by the Austrian officials. This gentle
man had come to visit his family after six long
years of forced separation. The conduct of the
police is still more outrageous because Captain
Orgoni had his passport signed by the Austrian
Consul ut Genoa, who assured the prisoner that
he would not be moested.
1t happens that Orgoni is naturalzed Ameri-
can citizen; had, when arrested, United States
passport and the object Of his journey was purely
to see his relatives. Had he not been guaranteed
against all personal violence, by the Austrian Con-
sui at Genoa he would not have attempted to enter
the Austrian territory. As the United States have
covered themselves with glory in the Kozsta af-
fair hope that free America will cause Austria to
understand anew that to be an American citizen is
not to be an Austrian subject.
This incident has elected much excitement all
over Italy, and the eyes of all Italians are now
turned on the Chief Magistrate Of your adopted
country. t sE
am well aware that Austria viii fabricate nu-
merous prete1ts to justify her conduct in the ar
rest of 0rigon but am also certain that the Ameri-
cans have at this time learned how much reliance
there is to be PLACED in the honesty and veraeity
of the Austrian Government Crusader.
