In Congress yesterday the SENATE by 30 to p,
psseed the bill repeating the Filing Bouuties, after
refusing to repeal Likewise the duties now levied on
imported Salt and Sugar We believe 10 Rsplb-
lcsn voted for the bill. The Homestead bill was
taken Up, but not decisively acted on. We pray
the friends Ct this most important aud beneGcent
measure to press il 10 vote at the earliest moment.
II il can pass the Senate this month it will mt fail
in the House.
In the House, on motion of Mr.. Harris, the
Comm ittte on Elect OBS were discharged from the
further consideration Of the memorial contesting
the election of Mr.. Henry Winter Davis. R-sDlu.
tons curtaliDg the expenditure for printicg were
adopted. The Civil Appropriation bill was taken
up, when Mr.. Sherman moved to reduce the ap
pIopraton for repairing aud adjoining the White

Shall there be three parties aud three tickets at
the ensuing New-YoIk State Election That
Election is now go near that this question inevitably
forces itself upon the public consideration.
For our own part We cannot regard as political
adversary Any one who in the late struggle as anst
the Executive attempt to force upon Kansas a de-
tested adhered Slave Constitution stood forth
cam, Sly tue eide of Free dom AID Popular
Rights. Any Of these who chooses to make himself
our adversary may 90 so, but shall regard every
ste adfast anti LecomptOn msn "a a friend until he
does select different position We shall zeal
ousy advocate the re election to Congress Of
Messrs II. L. Clark and Haskn without catechis-
ing OF exaclipg any terms of either. We accept
their ps.t UPRIGHT ss as an earnest aud
pledge of their future fidelity to honor and
duty. making no bargains and asking no questions.
If it is urged that John Wheeler was 50 trusted
four years since, and proved worthless, We reply
that John Wheeler but one of several 50 trusted,
and proved the only bad egg of the lot. The
Savior Of msnhind had one Judas among his chosen
aid most intimate Disciples; but this does not i'm
peach the wi.dom of his selection nor the principle
on v hich /. wss based. We are still glad that so
MANY Of the Anti.Nebraska Democrats of l-54 were
reelected by Republican votes, and wish more had
been. Had Me.srr. Maurice, Peck. Hastings aud
Fenton Of our delegation been thus reelected in
l-54, with corresponding liberality in other
States. we might never have been obliged to resist
such mots,ro.ity as G,een's Le:ompt'n bill. We
hope therefore TO see Messrs. Clark aud Haskin
run simply aud squarcy as unpledged independents
snd as such Overwhelmingly reelected.
As 70 the " Americans" of our State, that small
portion Of this patty who could be induced or hired

The exposure which We published yesterday
a the corrupt means uled 10 Wisconsin to secure tie
massage. by the Legislature Of 1856, OF bill dis
sbutipg the lands granted to the State BY Congress
for the construction of railroads Is perhaps 'he
most startling in our history. We have had cor
ruption before, hat never on such scale. here
Whole State seems TO have been bought up. Inc
Governor. the Supreme Court, the Legislature, the
editors Of nesrly all the prominent JOURNALS the
Leaders Of Republicans, Democrats, ard Amer
i.srs al have taken the degrading bnbes, and sold
thea selves Cor q price. 1t is disgusting revei'-
ton; let US hope th,t II may prove useful one'
aud that there may be virtue enough IN the peoPI9
of Wisconsin to set unconpromisingy and
thoroughly about the work OF reform.
TIE era of corruption introduced in this country
cotemporareou.ly with the contrib OF the large
towns by grog shops and BY ignorant Irish voters
who have preserved here their native prediction
for bribery and jObbeIs as means OF political
management, seems 20 be rapidly approaching It's
eliminating point. 1t is becoming open and IN
blu.bipg and often seeks to govern both the great
parties at once. Thus il contests the control OF
public affairs with the mass OF honest and con-
scientious citizens The issue is one which con-
Gems the very existence Of our political system.
If corruption is to prevail there Is an end oil al
that has given America any moral superiority over
other governments. If Governors. Legislators,
AID Courts are TO be bought AID sold, there Is an
end of the republican experiment
We are happy to say that III the State of New
York at least, the Republican party has taken the
right side Of this momentOus qrestion. Last Fall
its candidates for State officers were defeated be-
cause il had refused TO nominate men against whom
there was some suspicion, and had nominated those
whom corruption could not hope to influence We
believe no sincere Republican but feels prouder
confidence in bis party beaten as it then was, than
if it had succeeded by unworthy concessions to the
public enemy. The considerations which then III
fluenced the party gain additional weight from these
Wisconsin disclosures. Let it stand firm on the
safe and honorable ground of unyielding hostility to
every form aud degree of public corruption

HELP FOR THE MINER.

Il Is well known that there arc now in
Pierce, Thurston and King counties large
number Of miners utterly destitute of means
the money they possessed on leaving San
Francisco having been consumed while wait
iAe at Victoria and Bellingham Bay for the
water on Frazer's River TO abate. Many Of
these mincys have been and are now en-
plsycd By the farmers in harvesting, design
ing to devote the money received from this
source 10 the procurement Of supplies with
which 70 90 to the mines; but the wages
earned by them during this short period will
DO totally insufficient to meet their wants, as
everybody must sec. Help they need and
should have, and We think that q plan may
Be devised for their assistance that would
rssuls m profit to all concerned.
lntle States and in Europe there are Joint
Stock associations foB al conceivable objects;
vhy not form Joint Stock Trade association
to aid the miner in his pursuit. Let one
Be formed in Steilacoom in which all may
participate, and not the stOrekeePer alone,
As heretofore. BY the issuance Of certif.
cafes Of stock Of the denomination Of ten
dollars, all may participate in the movement.
Adopt plan somewhat after the following
style: Afler choosing the necessary pre-
siding officers, President, Secretary, Trca-
sureF, stc,--and adopting the requisite rules
and regulations for the government Of the
association, issue certificates say to the
amount Of Eve thousand dollars. When
thsso coriifcaiss shall have been all taken,
and their equivalent IN money paid into the
kandi of he Treasurer, appropriate the
uhols amount to the purchase Of mining
implements, provisions, pack horses, ETC.;
and, having appointed two or more persons
% oct as agents Of the association in the dis
posll Of the goods, let the agents accompany
lhe first body Of miners that leaves Stella
COON or iis vicinity. Having reached the
mines. The agents win dispose Of the goods
% ihe best advantage, and return at the ear
lies. opportunity for . ftssh supply Of pro
visions-
Tho adoption Of plan similar to the
above brief outline Is precisely what Tie
miners want With Tho aid thus afforded
(uhich, after al. Is nothing more than an
alsnrance against siarvation) the miners can
20 well provided with everything needful ;
and We doubt not il would result in mutual
advantage. We hope our readers herea-
bouts win think over this matter. and en-.

House builders have been kept busy in
StcilaNoom and vicinity, of late, erecting new
buildings and altering old ones. These i'm,

Next on the list is Philip Reach, Esq,
who has in course of erection handsome
dwelling, and is at the same time preparing
to lay the foundation Of large store; his

performance of their contract; while Mr..
