A FAMILY ponrHAIr.-Thc Washington

a FAMILY PoRTRAir.--Thc Washington
correspondent Of tho Philadelphia North
American, an ardent Frem ont journal, gives
the following lively picture of the fusion
leaders in congress in connection with tho
/ pending corruption Investigations .. .t.,,
" And if the truth must be spoken out,
slavery seems to exercise a conservative and
honorable influence. Tho fact Is notorious
to every observer at W ashington, that near
! iy Oil Inc wholesale schemes Of plupdor ,
which have been carried through Congress
! for years past, all the corrup. iobbipc. all
the projects Of :poilation, and all the vile and
venal combinations, hans BEEN planned and
carried on under tile control aad uith tho
means of Northern managers. While they
shouted the loCdest f5r freedom, and stig.
natized slavery as stigma to civilization,
they took care TO pillage the treasury, by
way of refreshing this sentimental devotion.
The seifapr o.n.ed leaders who were most
exercised fcw months ago over the demor-
alization that would attend the possible ex-
tension of slavery, who mourned over its
alleged horrors, who beat their breasts in
--agJhy al Us mention, and who lead what
prolessed to be a great moral crusade, are
exactly the men VINO swarmsd the lobhies
since Congress opened, scheming for Inc
success Of new plunder, and contriving tho
most audacious combinations with the very
Shareholders whom they affect SO much TO
abhcr. Developments like these, which
arc every day forced before our eyes, serve
to disgust intelligent and honest minds ss
the cant OF these hypocrites, who arc tread
ing upon principles, the integrity Of which
upright men proudly maintaih.
"On the floor Of the House and on tho
floor of the Seuate--for both are notorious
" contaminated, the latter in limited de.
crce-the proAigate traders most known in
side and outside the hall, are not only nor
thorn members, but they are members who
have endeavored to figure conspicuously in
all the recent Political movements. Their
names are banded about " ith vulgar fami,-
iari;y by thc very meuiais attending upon
Congress, and their audacious knavery give
qualification for far more than has yet been
charged. They devote themselves e1cu-
siyely to the business Of exterting cempen-
sation for legislative favor, and souic Of them
have paid enormously for seats as means
of prosecuting this disgracefal traffic. Nor
IS this corruption confined 10 a few isolated
instances. There are numbers in the House
" hose votes, or silence, or absence, was
purchased at the last session for the public
printing, the railroad grants, and other spe.
cial objects Of legislation. These spoils were
distributed among certain Republicans hold
ing seats. and others who were supposed to
be influential outside. And although o por-
ton Of this p,under was appropriated in
consideration OF the aid and comfort given
by Southern Americans, il is not believed
any OF them personally shared It's disui.

was more distinguished for gallantry ia
the field than FOR the care he layished upon
personal cleanliness. COMPLAINING on a
certain occasion 10 the Chief Justice b OF
the suffering he endured from rheumatism,
that learned and humored Judge undertook
to prescribe 4 remedy.
You must desire your servant, he said TO
the Gen-ra', to place every morning by your
bedside tub three parts filed with warm
water. Strip yourself, with pound Of vel.
low soap you must rub your whole body,
immersing yourself occasionally in The wa
ter, and at the end Of the quarter oil on
hour the process concludes by wiping your
self dry with towels and scrubbing your
persons with flesh brush.

utas reflection upon wha; he had just heard,
this seems TO mo t. be neither moro nor
less than washing yourseliN

We were visited last week by freshet,
almost unprecedented in the memory Of the
oldest inhabitant Of Grundy. 1t is impos-
sible to estimate with any degree of accura-
cy, the value Of property destroyed. Many
of our farmers have been great sufferers.
Horses, cattle, hay, fences, wood, &C., worth
thousands Of dollars, have been destroyed.
In every direction, bridges, which, all be-
lsved, would defy the attacks of ice and va.
ter, have been swept away. The destruc-
ten Of human life has been alarming. We
cannot praise too highly the sagacity of
those who had charge Of the construction OF
our bridge. Had the piers been built as
some desired, five feet lower, its destruction
would have been certain, brt whilst many
others erected upon the Same plan have
been destroyed, it stands firm and unyield-
ing In another column we give an account
of the storm at Albany. \. y, &c.-G Gra..
