WASHINGTON, February 27,-Horace
Greely, Of The New York Tribune, was
before the Tariff Investigating Committee.
All the members being present, the ex-
animation was concluded in forty minutes,
when he was informed the committee
would not require his further attendance.
He expresses high appreciation Of the
candor and courtesy Of The committee. and
thanks them for calling him before them.
He says they asked him no question
which he did not consider pertinent, and
of which ne was not glad Of an opportu-
nifty to answer. The purport of his les
timony is understood 70 be that no man
ever proposed 10 put any money into his
hands, TO influence in any way the action
Of Congress on the Tariff or any other
question. and that no one suggested any
thing of the sort, with his consent and
knowledge. He never knew, nor until
the late expose, ever heard or believed,
that money was paid, or promised, by
Lawrence, Stone & Co., or by any one
else, whether to members or others, to
influence their action during the last
Congress, IN the tariff. (.
A gentleman occupying a prominent
post among tile flee state Democrats OF
Kansas, and who is now in this city on
matters connected with the political for
tunes of that territory, states positively
that Governor Walker has not receded a
single point from his recent position on
Kansas affairs.

What a NeWspaper Does for Nothing

!. v q : =
The following article should be read
and pondered well by every man who
takes a newspaper without paying for il
The resull-oi my observation enables
me to state as fact, that the publisher
cf nc " Wspapers are more poorly rewarded
than any class 81 men in the United States,
who invest an equal amount of labor,
cauital and thoughh They are expected
to do more service for less pay, to stand
more sponging and "dead heading" to
puff and defend more people without fee
or hope Of reward than any other class.
They credit wider and longer; get Of
lencl cbeated; suffer more pecuni4ry loss;
are ofLrner the victims OF misplaced con.
fidence than any other calling in the COM
nuniy. ,t.E
People pay printers bills more reluct-
anly than any other. II goes harder
with them to expend dolaro on valuab e
newspaper than ten on valueless gew-
gaw; yet everybody avais himself Of the
use of the editors pen and printers ink
How many professional and political
regulations and fortunes have been made
and sustained by the friendly, though
unrequited pen of the editor! How many
embryo towns and cities have been brought
into notice, and pulled into prosperity by
the press How many railroads now in
sue, ssful operation, would have foundered
but for the assistance Of the "lever thai
moves the world" in short, wha, branch
of industry or activity has not been pro-
noted. stimulated by the press?
And who has tendertd it more tbar
miserable pittance for its mighty servi
ces p! The bazars Of fashion and thu
haunts of appetite and dissipation, art
thronged with an eager crowd, bearing
gold in their palms, and the commodities
there needed are sold at enormous profits
though intrinsically worthless, and pait
for with scrupulous punctuality; while
the counting room of The newspaper is lh'
seat of jewing, cheapening, trade, ORDER
and pennies. 1t is made point of homo
to liquidate grog bill, but not Of dishon

Suspected Robbery Murder and Arson

Scarcely are the ruins of the Pacific
Hotel cold, and the charred bones of the
victims sepullured, when out of the ashes
suspicion evokes black spectre, which
men, whispering with white lips called
murder. There were circumstances CAL
culated to excite inquiry. Five bodies
were found in one room, regularly arran.

Of them, only the head was burned. and
that was nearly severed from the boGy 7,

bodies certain were identified and known
to have occupied other rooms. Dnane
had arrived in the city on Friday evening,
and taken a loom al the City Hotel. -
From thence, Saunders Taylor, or Saun-

paying carriage hire, and treating freely,

room was bounded by two halls, the di.

near to two entrances from Seventh stree.
Why did not Doane 60 out, when others
much more remote from the doors and
hallS passed his door and left safely? q
AT half past one A. M, Taylor was met
at Walnut and Seventh streets. At two
A. M. he appeared to have been at Cant.

fire, he came to the Townsley House,
without boots on. In the morning blood
was found on the sheet which he had
apparently turned down with his hand

of the circumstances which led to the ar
