THE "RUA" QUEsrIoN.-After Mr.. Burn
ham left the House of Representatives, Tues
day, the Committee of Investigation contin-
ued their inquiry. The following little bust
ness transactions appear in the report of the
testimony
DIR. jackson, the State Assayer, testified
that on one occasion Brookhouse brought a
sample of whisky to be analysed for firm in
New York, and told him Mr.. Burnham would
pay him ten dollars for the job, and wanted
him to make out his bill for twenty five dol
lars. The Doctor refused to practice this little
deception, in order to put fifteen dollars into
Mr.. Burnhams pocket. When he carried
in the bill he handed it to Brookhouse,
charged at ten dollars. Brookhouse then ask
ed him if he would allow him to alter the fig
ure l to a figure 2, SO as to make the amount
$40, and he refused. He then took the Doc
tor into Mr.. Burnham's room and showed the
bill to him, but Mr.. Durham made no remark
about it. On another occasion, the Doctor
says that Burnham told a liquor dealer who
wanted some liquor analysed, that the fee
would be ten dollars. He (Dr. Jackson) i'm
mediately corrected this statement, saying, 81
told you it would be only five dollars" Burn
ham said aside to the Doctor, "Why couldn't
you let me make five dollars out of it 90
Mr.. Burnham has a letter in the Boston
Journal, stating that the explanation which he
desired should accompany his answer to the
House was this: "Inasmuch as the Supreme
Court decided that 4 had the right to seal up,
or otherwise conceal from public inspection
and curiosity, all entries in said books which
related to my private business transactions,
desired to do this when the books were pro-
duced to the House, and wished to know if
the House would thus receive them" His
counsel, Hon. Charles r. Train, was preparing
the answer in technical form, when the order
was given for his recommitment.

SENATOR DOUGLAS ILLNEss.-The Cincin.
natl Times, noticing the dangerous illness of
Senator Douglas, says:-"The excitement
through which he has passed in the last six
years would seem to be enough to break down
any man. Mr.. Douglas, however, has a con.
stitution of iron. He has often lived many
successive days without Sleep In Washing
ton he is generally permitted to sleep little
in the early part Of the morning but his &C.
quaintance is so extensive and his business SO
various, he profits less than any other man we
ever knew by
Tired natures sweet restorer, balmy Sleep
Though he has a strong constitution however,
he is Just the man to be carried off by sudden
attack of fever"

THREE GENERATIONS AT THE PoLLs.-The
Boston Transcript states that at the election in
that city last week, an unusual spectacle was
generations-father, son, and grandson, came
up and voted together. Two of them were
ex-mayors-and we apprehend there was no
doubt whatever in regard to the Republican
character of their votes.

DIR. PALMER, THE SUSPECTED INsURGENr.
1t has been announced that Dr. VIM. A.
Palmer had been arrested at Memphis, Tenne-
see, on suspicion of having been concerned in
the business at Harper's Ferry. The circum.
stances are very peculiar. Palmer is about
forty years of age, has resided in or near Mem

there. Some two weeks ago, while the excite
ment was at its hight, stranger was observed
in the cars between Baltimore and PhiladeI.

to escape detection. Arriving at the depot he
quickly gathered himself up and hurried
away, carelessly leaving package of papers
on his seat. One of the letters read as fol-

Dear William AS Mr. Martin goes down
to Hagerstown this evening" could not help
writing you line by him. You are SO head
strong you will not listen to me- Do for
Gods sake--dont go to Harper's Ferry now
you can do nothing if you go fear for your
life. You can keep the letter for Capt Brown
until all is safe. You cannot give it to him now
you would be suspected and taken up. Come
back and wait at Chambersburg until Capt.
Cook gets here. / am afraid this business will
get us into trouble yet. Last night / never

crazy until you return safe. Now, for once,
do listen to your loving wife.

DIR. Palmer, who sympathized with Brown,
and who had already made arrangements ia

day, by the casting vote of the President,
adopted an amendment to the chapter on wit

of their evidence being affected by proof that
they do not believe in a God.

were ladies and children, aud about two hun
bred United States troops on their way to San

confidence in her safety, and infer that she has
put into some pert of the West Indies for re-
pairs, and that time enough has not elapsed to
receive Intelligence of her fate. But the pub

prehensive that she was lost during the heavy
