Another X. N. Fraud Exposed.

The X. n. journals are publishing a circular lei
ter addressed to posmasters, signed Perrin NJ
Brown, Jr setting forth that has been decided by
leading Democrats 1T Washington City to assess
each postmaster in the country for the success of
the Democra .ic ticket, and requiring them to pay
much to him for that purpose, &c. This whole affair
is a forgery base black Republican lie 1t has
been caught up and used in the South and SO it
seems the black Republicans manufacture the lies
against the Democrats and the Southern K N. jour-
nails use them. The following letter from the Post
master General to the Troy Budget brands the whole
thing it deserves:

KANSAS IN THE HOUSE.

From Our Own Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Wednesday Feb 20, 1866
As soon as the resolution sending for persons
and papers in the matter of the Kansas election
was passed, and reconsideration was pending.
Mr. Dunn signifed that if the motion prevailed he
was to propose Mr.. Bradley of Washington Citym
the Special Commissioner to take testimony. The
reconsideration prevailed by nine. Messrs. Haven.
Dunn and others changed front. Mr.. Orr OBJ
tanned the floor and offered Mr. Dunn's PROPOSE
ton, adding Mr.. Baxter of Virginia, all which
proposals, with Mr.. Stephens instructions to de-
fine what evidence was required, were recon-
mitted to the Committee. The effect OF Mr..
Dunns proposition would be probably to defer
any action on Kansas until the close of the Session,
as the Commissioners might delay the matter at
their option. The Committee will either report q
resolution limiting the number of witnesses and the
time of taking testimony, or substitute Commits.
