THE COMMITTEE on CONGRESSIONAL
CORRUPTION.


From the very energetic spirit which the House Of
Representatives displayed in inat,u'ing committee
on the corruptons Of the Lobby, the public may be
disposed to anticipate some important result. We
put another Interpretation OIL the matter. This pa.
rade OF pious horror and vrtuous Indignation go far
from giving promise OF q commensurate result pre-.
pares US for gradual oblivion OF the affair. The
duration Of the excitement will b. in the inverse ra-
ito to its momentary intensity, Members are aoiaze
With an honest indignation, but It is an indignation
that will speedily burn itself ont The Lobby ia not
10 be carried by an impstuous assault. lts capture
can he accomplished cnly by system Of patient ap
proach and sealthy undermining and that VIII re-
ouire rare combination of qualities IN the part ot
the Committee Of Investigations II instead OF erpend
ing themselves in single furious efiorf, the commit
tee will go quietly and cooyto work. We venture to
predict that their labor will not end IN an aoort'on.
There can be no want Of witnesses. Pick out the
most notorious Of the Lobby Agens ana The patrons
of the various schemes Of plunder before Congress
subject them to the torture OF searching erosa e1
animation, and we will undertake to anawer for the
result. Or, it would be quite as well to begin with
those members of Congress, who are commonly IN.
ders,ood to be engaged in illicit enterprises perhaps
some interesting disclosures may DO exorted from
them.
But whatever be the result and the mode OF pro.
ceedng, in the name of justice don't make scape-
goat of an innocent newspaper correspondent /;
the character of Congress ia above reproach mein
bers may afford to treat his accusations with con-
tempt If, after all, thero turks suspicion that his
charges are not altogether destitute of truth, then
thank him for exposing the corruption. If it shall
be disclosed by the committee that members have
polluted themselves, the country will acknowledge
ts obligations 10 the instrument of the discovery
