The Investigating Committee.
BUCHANAN's LETTER TO WALKER.


When, not long since, the National
House of Representatives appointed
Committee to inquire into the acts and
conduct of the federal administration, it
will be remembered, the President of the
United States protested ae ainst such pro-
ceeding. In message issued expressly
for the occasion, he denied the right of
the Committee to act in the premises, and
took refuge behind system of special
pleading, and fortified his position with
numerous legal technicalities. However
worthy of James Buchanan this subter-
fuge may have been, it was certainly ua-
worthy of the President of the United
States. Had it prevailed, it might indeed
have protected him from the dreadful
scrutiny to which he has been subject :;
but it was dodge to which no man, con-
scious Of his own innocence, would have
resorted. We see a similar principle man
ifested every day in our courts of Justice.
The man who is wrongfully charged with
crime, prefers TO have his innocence estab-
lished by the judgment of his peers !;
whilst the rogue is quite as well satisfied
if he effect his escape BY reason of some
defect in the indictment. The innocent
defendant relies upon the evidence, as the
means of his safety the guilty defendant
fears it, as the means of his destruction.
But did this Presidential Protest accom-
plish the purpose for which it was inten-
ded Did it put an end to the investiga-
tion which John Covode and other good
men had resolved to make? BY no means.
1t was rather An incentive-it urged them
10 more faithful performance of their
duty. The Committee went about Its
business in its own way, aud at a very early
..age in its lsbors, such developments We're
maie before IL as conclusively showed the

now located in Philadelphia, and has re-
Gently finished portrait of Hon. Henry
D. Foster, the Lcco-Foco Candidate for
Governor. We notice that some of our
democratic cotemporaries speak of
this work in the most encomiastic terms,
whilst gentleman Of our town, who per-
sonally inspected it, (and who, were he not
50 much biassed in favor Of the original,
might be pretty fair judge pronounces
it ''perfection." Reports say, too, that so
happily has the artist delincated his sub
ject upon the canvas, that friend Of Fos-
ter's recently mistook the painting for the
General himself, and deliberately proceed
ed to ask Of it ''how are you, Foster p
Assuming this to be true, the conclusion
naturally forces itself upon US, that this
mistaken individual felt bad when the
portrait didn't happen to reply. Had it
been possible for the General to have
popped in, and said 80, I'm purity well,
thankce; how's yerself?" what relief it
would have been to his anxious friend in
that trying moment.
The truth is, good subjcct like Foster
in the hands Of good artist like Storm
couldn't we'll fail, under ordinary circunl-
stances, to make good picture. But
when we think Of the extraordinary occasion
which brings forth the present work when
we reflect that it has been gotten up ex-
pressly for the Keystone Club OF Phila3el-
phia-a violent presumption is at once
raised, that George has not only made the
portrait "as large as life" but also "twice
as natural Electioneerirg documents.
especially of the democratic stamp, are
not, as a general thing, very reliable
They deal in fancies of the imagination
rather than in plain substantial facts This
may, in some sort, be the case with the
document in question, and as the Gen
eral himself is just now the subject of some
criticism, we see no valid reason why the
same rule should not apply to his "pictcr." a"
His artist will excuse us, therefore, for re-
ferring to two slight defects which exist
in his work. These defects, while they
might escape the notice of the most skill
ful connoisseur, are nevertheless, radical
ones. They need only to be pointed out
to be appreciated. The first consists in
this: the artist represents the General as
being in the foreground; whereas, in view
of the position he occupies in the gubcr-
material contest, he should have been rep
resented as being entirely in the back
ground. The other defect is the want of
drapery. The artist has represented the
General in bold relief upon the canvas
whereas it would have been in much better
taste, and certainly more in accordance
with the truth, to have represented him as
being behind Curtin.

The Great Fight.

The great international fight for the
championship, between John c.. Hecnan
and Tom Sayers, is over. 1t was fought
on the 18th ult., in England, but was
brought to rather unsatisfactory conclu-
sion, at the end of the forty third round,
by row being kicked up by some of Say
ers' friends, who, seeing that their cham
plon was getting the worst of the BATTLE
and IN danger of being badly licked, used
this cowardly method of backing out. 1t
is conceded on all hands that Heenan was
the victor. and a formal demand has been
made on Sayers for ''the belt"

A Letter from tf,e State SEEperin-
tPEltseHI.

We are permitted to publish the an
nexed communication from Mr. Hickok,
the State Superintendent Of Common
Schools, relative to the salary of the Coun-
ty superintendent. a perusal of Mr..
Hickok's S letter will satisfy any one, that
1t would be the extreme Of folly, on the
part of the School Convention, TO decrease
the salary of the County Superintendent.
Even if it were increased to one Mousan9
doAars per annum, the additional cost to
the people of Cambria county would only
amount to the trifiing sum of TWO DOL
LARS.
HARRISBURG, April &c, 1860.
DEAR SIR " on will see by the official de-
partment of "Pennsylvania State Journal
herewith sent you, that the salary of your
County Superintendent is not taken from the
School Appropriation set apart for your coun-
ty; but that the salaries of all the County
Superintcudents are deducted in gross from
the general appropriation, and the balance
distributed amongst the taXablcs in all the
counties. II your Convention should reduce
the salary to 500, the remaining SfUO would
not be distributed amongst the school dis
tricts of Cambria county, but amongst the five
hundred thousand taXables of all the counties,
of which Cambria county would receive an
iufintes simaily small portion.
Resp'y yours, II. c. HlCNOK.
