Report ci The Committee Of Corruption.
ErtraoyJiaay Effort Of Biact Republicans
TO Screen the Parties Laplicatedlu
The House of Representatives was thrown
into extraordinary excitement Yesterday bv the
announcement OF MIR. Davis, OF Maryland, that
the special committee on congressional corrup-
ton was ready to make their report At the
very threshold OF the proceeding, and even be-
fore the report was read, Mr.. Bennett Of New
York, objected to It's reception, a0d entered up
on d Iabored and excited course Of argument a.
gainst the proceedings and action of the com
mittee. Il was surprising that he should IN
der;ake to induce the house 20 refuse the reCpp-
ton Of a report before the House had heard it
read vet such was his anxiety to screen his
political friends whose conduct Is implicated,
that he la5ored zealousy, but very indiScreet!y,
to prevent even The reading of The report. He
was sustained 10 his strangely ImpoltIc opposi-
ton to the reception OF the report hv Mr.. Grow,
who arraigned the special committee with acTi-
mono0s imputationS, and manifested a degree
Of ardor and SenstlveneSS winch indicated pX-
trpma S1licitudp tor the fate of his baCi-rppubli-
can friends implicated. Those two gentlemen
spoke if they were fully aPprzed OF the char
actrr Of the report, and as il they had prepared
themselves with elaboration, if not with con-
cert, to shield themselves against the trial to
which the committee proposed to snhiect them.
Looking upon MrSsrs. Bennett and Grow as the
leaders in this proceeding, the impression made
upon our mind was, that the republicans in the
House had determined to screen the implicated
parties at all hazards and at every step Of the
proceedings. 1t viii be seen hereafter whether
these gentlemen were not the representatives.
and exPonents Of their party in he House.
When the investigation was instituted. we
appIauded the members Of all parties for their
prumptness IN determining to relieve the House
from th1 foul suspicious cast upon the entire
body, but II never occurred to us that SO extra
ordinary an attempt would ever be made to sup

We did aot dau5t that the investigation would
remove all suspicion from the democrats Of the
House, aud we are gratied that or anticlpa-
tons in this respect have been fully realized. II
was to be hoped, and we did earnestly hope,
that the result would prove that The whole
charge Of corruption was base and haseess
caiutnny on the House, aud each member Of It.
The Speaker discharged his duty nobly in
the selection of The committee, and the whole
conntrv accorded 10 the gentlemen selected the
highest qualifications for their duties. They
have lahorpd assidnously, night and day, in eX-
cution OF their commission, and when they
came forward to announce the result OF their
lahors thew were m,t hy the extraordinary op-
nosition and censura to which we have referred.
Without waiting to hear the report or the proof,
but unon the mere knowledge tbat the conduct
of four republicans w+re implicated, two OF their
prominent political friends undertake TO make
an issue with the committee. and 70 cast dis
credit upoa-thpr conclusions. 10 this matter
tie party zeal of those gentlemen ran far ahead

publican party ia an issue winch will scatter
its forces nta fragments. 10 party oFganiza-

was held in the town OF Greensburg on the evening
OF the 10th inst for the purpose Of g5flaafing lit
tie faction elected as Democrats for violating Of
the dearest usages OF the party 10 which they pro-
fessed attachment. They did not euIogtzr the
tnres who voted for Cameron direct, but their crti
cism upon their conduct is of very equyoca cha
racter, almost amounting to justdcatioal The
proceedings look jtt!eare itlIe-.r fact tie most

ever seen put upon record. The resolutions express
nothng-meaa less-are as Cat as dj,h-water-and

Printed Matter Compulsory.
We are requested 10 publish the following regula-
tions, made by the Postmaster General, says the
National Integencer, in order to carry out the pro-
visions of the act Just passed requiring prepayment Of
postage on all transient printed matter viz
l. Books, not weighing over four pounds, may be
sent in the mail prepaid hy postage stamps, at one
cent an Dance any distance in the United States
der three thousand miles, and ut two cents All ounce
over three thousand miles, provided they are put up
without cover or wrapper, or in cover or wrap
per open at the ends sides, SO that their char
acter may be determined without removing the
wrapper.
q Unsealed circulars, advertisements, business
cards transient newspapers, and every other article
of transient printed NATTER except books, not weigh
ing three ounces, sent in the mail to any part OF
the United States charg1ble with one cent post
age EACH to lie prepaid by postage stamps. Where
more than circular is printed on a sheet, or a
circular and letter. each must he charged with sin
gle rate. This applies to lotteries and other kindred
sheets assuming the form and name OF newspapers
and the miscellaneous matter in such sheets mGstalso
be charged with rate. A business card on an M
sealed envelope of circular subjects the entire packet
to letter postage. Any transient matter, like cir
calr or handful, enclosed in or with periodical or
newspaper sent to subscriber, or to any other per
son. subjects the whole package to letter postage
and whenever subject to letter postage from being
sealed or from any whatever, all printed matter
without exception, must be prepaid or excluded from
the mail. It is the duty OF the postmaster at the
mailing office. rs well as at the Office Of delivery
carefully to examine all printed matter, in order to sec
that it charged with the proper rate Of postage and
to detect fraud. At Offices where postage stamps can
not be procured postmasters are authorized to re
matter; but they should be careful to keep supply

RETALIAToRY TACTICS.

We are glad to perceive that the Northern move
ment to repeal or suspend the existing duties on -
ported sugar and molasses is meeting with the only
kind of opposition that is effective at the NoTth-an
opposition that appeals directly to the pockets not to
the heads OR consciences, Of the Northern people
The following, from the Charleston Mercury Of the
It'll inst meets with our sincere appreciation:
Mr. Clay of Alabama introduced bill in the Senate 70
and Macke,el Fisheries of New England Whether cod and
eide but they are generally used Throughout the 1te states
and considered wholesome aud 5esirsels articles q G2i
against the duties on which there general Northern

RS Of lie VIZ; and 10 more II the right
bounty tie other may clam an ni eLn" IVY, W. te S 's
have hope that immediate practical results Will fellow the intro
tniT taxation.
Undoubtedly, if the tariff on sugar is onerous and
ought therefore, to be repealed, the bonnes confer
red on the Cod and Mackerel Fisheries OF New
England ought also to be repealed. The duty on i'm
ported fish should be suspended, and The discrsi'l
tion in favor the Eastern fishermen which exempt5
the most important article used in their business from
taxation should be abolished. The rule is poor, as
well as unrighteous one, that will not work equally
in the North eastern and the Southwestern States.
Senator Clay is onthe right track aud we hope he
will press his bill upon the Senate with nnremithng
energy His proposition might be so extended as to
embrace many other articles within its scope Saving
and excepting the article of sugar, the tariff protects
no other Southern production of any great moment.
Hence the South is comparatively independent oil
governmental protection, and better afford to get
along under al abolition Of all tariffs than the North
Therefore, if the North objects to the duty on sugar
as oppressive to her, it is nothing more than fair
right and just that she should meet us half way and
assist US in abrogating the duties on imported fish
manu- actured cotton and woollen goods, coal, iron
etc,
Let this proposition he presented to Northern Sen
ators and Representatives, and we will venture the
assertion that the fable about the farmers OK and the
lawyers bull will be rehearsed times nnumerabIe

SKATING AarsENENTs.-The ST. Nicholas Skating
Club, OF Roxbary, Mass know how to enjoy them
selves. They assembled one evening recently at a
place called Bowers Pond, bringing several trans
plrencies and other lumnati6ns, which were set up
in different parts of TIE pond The members then i'm
mediatey proceeded to ignite sundry tar barrels at
various points. These were so profusely scattered
erhe pond that the whole area was brightly illu
minated. BY this time large numbers of ladies and
gentlemen had arrived and the whole party then pro-
cceded to enjoy the excellent skating. During the
evening several pieces of fireworks were set off, an
some choice musical gems sung by the ladies and gen
tlnmrI with fine cffeHt.
