A Very ObIiViOus Gentlcmani--
Paying q Democratic Editor
Out OF tiic Public Treasury.

Mr.. Covodo's Investigating Committee
is developing some curious facts. The
latest IL the total inability Of Mr.. Buchan-
ans editor Of the Philadelphia Pennsyl-
vanian, and connection of J. BIS by
marriage, to remember certain matters
connected with his "daily walk and con-
versation." For instance--he testified
that he was holding o clerkship in tho
Philadelphia Custom House at an annual
salary Of Si2OOi but was entirely unable
10 soy whether he occupied an Office in
the custom house building-how much
labor he performed as a clerk, or whcth-
or he performed sny-and could not tell
why his name was not entered on the
daily register like other clerks or how il
came TO be omitted from the blue book.
Strange TO say, he did remember that no
was now holding the clerkship and draw
ing the salary Of $1,000. The testimony
established the fact that $1,000 ofthe pub
lie money is paid TO Buchanan's relative
for the purpose Of sustaining party or
gan, and that no services are required or
expected from him other than those
which he renders az party editor. 10 Il
at all strange that Mr.. buchanan should
finch at the investigation, and should
scold the House for presuming to take
measures for disclosing the frauds and
briborics which have disgraeed his Ad-
