CONGRESSIONAL CORRUPTION

TEsoN, WM. X. WEIGH, WM. a. GILBERT They
also recommend tho expulsion of SInoxroN.-
His contemptnous refusal TO disclose the names
OF members who had made propositions to acll

We arc glad that no Southern man, or even a
Northern Democrat, has been implicated in this

picture of the political morality of the RepuLIi

considered OH Wednesday. Tho Republican
party will defend its incmbcrs and we have no
idea that, with iis present strength, that any
member of it could be expelled from tho House.
Tho following are the Resolutions reported and
