be compelled to do cor The House Of Repre-
sentsives, at its next session, will feel bound to
notice this official statement of the President of
the Chicago, ST. Paul and Fond du Lac Rail-
rcad Company, as they noticed, at last session.
The entry of ss7 900 on the books of Lawrence
Stone Company; and be it recollected
that the $64, l90-to which the fore
going bill amounts-is exclusive of
s75 600 paid toward the same object by au
other railroad company, and is also exclusive Of
contracts, conditional on the Chicago company
getting the lands, and which conditional con
tracts are estimated by Mr.. Byron Kilbourn at
over million Of dollars.
There was a gigantic swindle perpetrated by
the lobby of the Thirty fourth Congress, and
now revealed by the presidents of the railroad
companies involved in it, How many members
o. the House and of the Senate were Won over
to vote TO- the Wisconsin land bill by the COL
den arguments of this sl39, 900, paid uncondi-
tionally, and of these contracts for over mil
lion more made conditionally? That is ques-
ion for the answer to which the country has
right to look to Congress. There can be no
great difficulty in arriving at all the facts in
this stupendous fraud Matteson and his band
Of forty thieves were not then so careful to
cover their tracks as subsequent events have
caused them to become. Mr.. Wheeler and the
other agents can say how this money was dis
tributed and to whom and in what proportions
i: was paid. The contracts, too, were, as in ST.
monton's case legally executed documents; and
even if they do not now exist, the names of the
various persons to whom they were executed
must be known to Wheeler and his associate
agents. Here is an opportunity for developing
the operations of the lobby and the corruption
of members and editors and correspondents on
scale to which the Des Moines grant inquiry
and the tariff Investigations were mere petty
circumstances. We press the matter on the at
tention of Congress; and in the name Of the
people of the United States We demand com
mittee of inquiry.

MORE STATISTICS To BE HAD WITHOUT
CHAIGE.-Aminidab Sleek, Of the Journal OF
Commerce, presents q statistical account of the
services which he has rendered the democratic
party, for which he received no reward ex-
cept the consciousness of virtue. Aminidab
claims that he elected Mr.. Polk in ls44--that
he carried the Compromise measures in 1850,
and that in 1854 the Kansas Nebraska bill
could not have become law without his sup.
port For all these great services Mr.. Sleek
says he received no pay; but in his statistics he
has omitted to mention the "free WOOL service,
for which, il is said, he received three thousand
dollars That is bit of statistics which the
good man has omitted, and we beg to supply it
for him.

THE OHgvAIlFR WEBB LOOMING UP.--Like a

THE OHEvALIEE WEBB LOOMING UP.-Like
Lighthouse in the evening twilight, the pros
poets Of the Cbevalier Webb for Congress in the
Westcbester district loom up into bold relief.
He feels better than he did some time ago, and
will, perhaps make a splendid run We say
perhaTe, to be sure against all contingencies.
He will certainly do well if he will only follow
the sptcial line of advice which we hope
shortly to chalk out for him. We say hope, be-
cause we may forget il.
While thus magnanimous]y inclined towards
our revilers and our enemies, as if they were
our friends and brethren, may we not put in a
good word, likewise, for the Chevaler Greeley?
They say he is anxious to run for Governor, as
the black republican candidate; and If we can
go for Webb, why can't we 60 for Greeley?
Each may be rather hard to take; but the one
will neutralize the other, like dose Of calomel
and jslap. Thurlow Weed would prefer
Bryant of the Post, for Governor; but Greeley
would make better Governor than Bryant.
If elected, Greeley would write sensible mes
sage of facts and 'statistics." barring the
"ftee WOOL" and If defeated, he would
take his defeat like philosopher. On the
other band, Bryant is too full Of poetry, piety,
moonshine, old ruins, and such trumpery to
make practical Governor. AS between Bry-
ant and Greeley, by all odds let it be
Greeley.
On the democratic side, having gone the
whole figure, head, tail and bristles, on Lee
compton, John Van Buren,, the Prince, is, we
are told, up for Governor. Well, John is no
SLOUGH OF statesman, and quite an acrobat as
a politician, fully equal to any Of the Ravels.
But being capable man, and having turned
up at last perfectly "sound on the goose" John
ought to have chance. He would make
very witty and a very amusing Governor, at all
events, and his party "may 60 further and fare
worse" Let US have Webb for Congress in old
Westchester, and fair and square stump cam
paign between the Chevalier Greeley Gerrit
Smith and John Van Buren, for Governor, and
we shall have campaign that will be remem
bered when Colonel Pluck will be forgotten.
