HORACE GREELEY BEFORE THE INvRsrI-
eating CoNNIrrEE.-Horace Greeley, of the
New York Tribune, was examined before the
Tariff Investigating Committee this morning,
and the examination was concluded in some
forty minutes. Mr.. Greeley thanked the com
mittee for calling him before them, and testi-
fed, we understand, that no person ever pro-
posed to put any money in his hands to in
fuence the action of Congress on the tariff or
on any other question, and that within his
knowledge nothing Of the kind was ever
suggested Until the late expose in Boston he
never knew or heard that any money was paid
or promised by Lawrence, Stone 4 Co., or any
one else to members or others to influence the
action of the last Congress on the tariff.

OHIO DEMOCRATIC CLUB.-In another column
will be found call for a meeting to- nipht of
this club, to which all other Ohio Democrats in
this city are invited to be present. This club
was first organized in May, 1855, and was fully
endorsed by the Democratic State Central
Committee of Ohio. During the Presidential
campaign of that year the club purchased and
distributed throughout Ohio nearly three hun
dred thousand documents. That its labors
were beneficial we have but to point to the fact
that the Democracy Of Ohio in that year elected
nine Democrats to Congress and gained nearly
zo,ooO ON the popular vote. The object of the
present organization is make active prepare
tions Tor the Ohio Congressional election to
take place in October.
