THE LATE CONGRESSIONAL lNvEsTIGA-
rloN.-The slavehoiding influence is al
ways powerful to turn every opportunity
to its own benft Even the alleged cor
ruption in the House of Representatives,
seemed to faint only the Northern mem
bers, because the Southern corruption bills
were not Investigated. A Republican
member of Congress from Indiana explains
in the article how shrew dly this was man
aged on the part of the slaveholding i'll
terest, which desired to throw national
stain upon Northern members Of Congress
1.-THE speaker had magnanimously ap
pointed committee, a majority of whom
were Southerners; and the general remark
that it was strange that none bat Northern
members were implicated, was increased
when the testimony was printed, and it
was found that Mr. Or; thc lea Ing mem
Der Of the committee, hal asked Numerous

ACCIDENT ON THE ST. ANTHONY ROAD
On the passage of the afternoon stage from
st. Paul to st. Anthony, so says the Meas,
the driver turned up by instinct before the
door Of the Roseville House, threw down the
reins, leaped from his box, and disappeared to
wet his whistle The four horses, being
Temperance animals took advantage Of the
license and started on dead run towards st.
Anthony. The vehicle was Concord Stage
Coach, and contained five passengers-a wo-
man and four men. Before the fugitives had
attained their highest speed three of the men
jumped out at the imminent risk of their
lives, Mr.. Richardson, of the Cataract House,
being considerably injured. The lady and
Mr.. N. kellogg of this city remained in the
coach The speed of the horses is described
as terrible. They strained every muscle, and
flew like the wind now in the road, now
out of it, now gliding along by the fence, and
now sweeping atsrandom across the field,
ieapng over rocks and vaulting chasms,-the
helpless coach reeling, plunging and thunder
ing after them, and the baggage scattering for
rods on both sides of the track.
In this way they ran about two miles when,
in descending the hill on full rum near the
house of d. A. j. Baker, they came in col
hsion with load of flour. On encountering
it, the leaders parted, the wheel-horses got
OF the way somehow, and the coach struck
the load, staving in barrels of -four, swapping
the pole in three pieces, breaking the reach,
and, of course, disabling the whole concern.
The passengers escaped with their lives bare
ly, and the impudent driver on coming up,
cursed them through the whole scale of his
impious blasphemy and threatened to 'whip"
one of them, because they presumed to COM
plain Of his carelesssness and inc Efficiency =
Is such wanton recklessness, continues the
Neacs, such insufferable insolence and imbecil-
ity, at the expense of life to be longer pat
ronized by our citizens
