SPIRIT or THE MORNING PRESS.

The Union, considering the report of the
Willett's Point investigating committee, COM
ments with a caustic pen upon the origin and
mode of procedure of Congressional investi
eating committees. line In a venal news
paper starts an investigation, which is /" taken
fr parte from beginning to end, in secret and
in a corner. Men are accused by and before
them without their knowledge, and their char
acters, more precious than their lives, are as
sailed in secret recesses of the Capitol by n
system of Thuggism more ruthless than that Of
the assasSins of India. Not only are the prin
ciples Of common law, but those of common
justice, are disregarded; the accuser is not
afronted with the accused; the absent are as
sailed unheard and unconscious of impeach-
ment; no opportunity for cross examination is
allowed; no appearance Of the assailed is per-
mitted, either In person or by counsel; no
specifications of distinct charges are required ;
nor is the evidence confined to any specific
charges; but the examiner is allowed to fish at
large for accusations in all the foul waters of
hearsay and scandal and charges at random
are allowed to be made against the absent by
every witness who may have grudge to graft
fy, corrupt object to obtain. or a mere desire
to visit the seat of government at the public
expense and charge, to accomplish 1t is sat-
isied that it is only necessary to call the atten
tiOn of Congress to this grieyous evil to insure
Its correction.
The Union, also, in replying to the stric-
lures of the Charleston Mercury upon Secre-
tary CObb,s letter on African emigration, dis
cusses the legality Of the proposed importation
OF African emigrants, saying: Either these
African emigrants would come bound - to ser
vice or labor" or they would come as % free
negroes" In the first case they are prohibited
by the act of Congress; in the second, they are
excluded from every Southern State and many
States of the North by local laws prohibiting
their admission
The Union, further, comments upon the
violation, by the Atlantic Telegraph Company
OF the act of Congress granting them the use of
the L. S. steamer Niagara and a subsidy of
