GREELEY DEFyNG Hrs REMrEs.-The move
ment in our Legislature for committee of in
vcstigation into the doings Of the Kansas free
soil emigrant aid societies seems to have stirred
up poor Greeley to a terrible pitch Of excite
ment lie challenges an investigation into the
disbursement of the "7tibune Kansas fund.-
and dares the enemy to try it. Let him, then,
be taken at his word. Let us know how this
fund was appropriated; and while the commit
tee are about it, they might also inquire into
the final disposal of those Slievcgammon Irish
rebellion contributions and the Kossuth collec-
tions, and the proceeds of Father Mathews
benefit. AT all events, let us have the inquiry
into that Kansas fund. Doubtless Greeley will
make as clear case of IL as he did of that
housand dollar draft of the Des Mones I'm
provement Company.

A Coon NOVEL; is rumored around the
corners Of Wall street that committee Of the
best fnsnciers of the faro banks of Broadway
will probably soon be appointed to inquire into
the condition of the Wall street banks to the
end Of devisng some system of reform for their
safer management against stockobbing direc.
tors and defaulting CLERKS. The committee, IL
is expected, will begin their operations with a
grand dinner of oysters canvass backs and
champagne, and game of faro, in which the faro
and the Wall street fnanciers will be admitted
to footing Of perfect equality and hail fell
lows well met. No policemen will be admitted
for they have already been admonished of their
impudence in presuming to put their noses into
the affairs of the Wall street banks. Brother
son, If caught, will sit at the lower end of the
table.

NORTHERN VERSUS SOUTHERN BLACKGUARDrsM
We had supposed that our rabid nigger-wor-
shipping journals and politicians Of the North
we're entitled to the precedence in their violent,
vulgar and blackguard abuse of Mr.. Buchanan;
but we are now inclined to think that the palm
should be given to that notorious Southern
clerical blatherskite and builoon, the Reverend
Parson Brownlow In one Of his late manifes-
toes he denounces Mr.. Buchanan as 'gray.
headed old demagogue, ian old hypocrite,'
an "old backlog" and an "old grocery
keeper Parson Beecher must knock uLder to
Parson Brownlow; and even the Chevalier
Webb and Massa Greeley must hide their
diminished heads in the presence of this Ten
nessee preacher of the gospel and blackguard-
ism. or try il again.

The ADMINISTRATIONS AND TIE DEMOCRATIC
REPRESENTATIVES IN CoNGRsss.-The Cabinet
of Mr.. Buchanan is unit and fitting illustra-
ton of great and united party; but the demo-
cratic members of the two houses of Congress,
in the lump, are the poorest representatives
that were ever sent by their party to Washing
ton. They are nearly all struggling to be cap
tains, and thus the party is without recogniz-
ed head in either house. or q visible tail The
most active demagogues among them, upon this,
that, or the other question, desire to dictate
rather than to follow the policy of the admins
tration and thus the general ruin of all con-
cerned becomes the most probable ending of the
defections discords and confusion vrEch have
already commenced

THE RELIGIOUS REvTvAI-WAIL. STREET IN
rREGNABLE.-The wonderful religious revival
which is now working so gloriously among sin
ners of all degrees throughout the country, and
which commenced in the Old Dutch Church, al
most under the shadow of the HERALD office, it
appears, thus far has not made the slightest i'm
preston upon the case-hardened old sinners of
Wall street. They seem to be past praying for,
and, as the citadel of Satan and his financial
staff, Wall street may be pronounced impregna-
bic. Awful Gardner has not been able to resist
these prevailing influences of religious saliva
tion-the Holy Spirit has even found lodg-
ment among the old Common Council gang of
the Forty Thieves; but while pugilists, and row.
dies, and burglars and rogues of all sizes are
convicted and converted and washed of their
sins, the stronghold Of the dyedin-the-wool
sinners of Wall street stands out with the bold
and defying front of Gibraltar. "Sebastopol
is not yet taken" Nothing but an earthquake,
shower Of fire and birthstone, or sweeping
robbery Of half dozen banks, can shake the
old sinners of Wall street. 1t will take a long
siege to reduce the garrison of Wall street,
when some of its subaterns, as a matter of
choice. can sustain a Fifth avenue family upon
butchers bill of seven dollars month.

The CHEvALrER WEBB's KANSAS REcoNNESDA-
T1oSs.-The fury Of the Chevalier Webb against
the administration, in reference to the Lecomp-
ton constitution is infamed to the fighting point.
He earnestly urges upon the anti-Lecompton CO
alition Of the House Of Representatives the push
ing Of parliamentary tactics against the admis-
sion of Kansas TO the last extremity. In Thur
low Weeds Albany Journal we find the same
policy recommended, including II necessary,
"a revolver at the head OF the Speaker" In
1854 the New York Tribune intimated that the
burning Of the Capitol would be trihing dis
aster compared with the passage Of the Kansas
Nebraska bill, thus indirectly counselling an
act Of incendiarism as party expedient for the
defeat Of an obnoxious measure. The spirit of
border ruflianism on this subject which first
broke out into acts Of open violence with the
contact of Northern and Southern desperadoes
In Kansas, seems to have diffused itself through
out the black republican camp and yet we do
not absolutely despair Of the passage of the Lee
compton constitution without either the burning
Of the Capitol, the shooting of the Speaker, or
the hanging Of the President. We know that
the Chevalier Webb may put on his mahogany
stocked pistols at any moment. and start for
Washington; but still We hope that we shall es-
cape bloody revolution.

Poverty AND DEsTrUTroN IN THE Cry
During the last week or two the extreme cold
has caused great deal Of suffering amongst
the poor Of our city. The benevolent societies
have done their utmost 10 distribute relief
amongst them; and a great many charitable
individuals, such as Mr.. Farmer, have out Of
their own resources, supplied the wants of those
who were able to call upon them. Many, how
ever, Of these poor creatures were too i'll or too
weak to 60 out, and they could not, of course,
profit by the aid thus administered The suffer-
ings Of the working classes must be everywhere
very great. II lie true that the banks are full of
specie and have plenty Of money to loan; but
the factories, workshops and other centres Of
employment are ell o. idle @ ever.
