THE CORRUPTION OF THE ADMINS
TRATION.

Messrs John Covode, Abraham DIN and
Charles II. Train, majority of the "Covode
Investigating Committee" have made report
OF their Investigations up to the present time
We venture the assertion that so startling an
expose of corruption in high places was never
before submitted to the American people. No
man can read the Committees Report without
feeling that it is substantially true. 1t is firmly
based on facts wrenched from the lips of re-
luctant witnesses by inquirers who were vague
ly acquainted with those facts, and who we're
compelled to probe in the dark for rottenness
which the witnesses were anxious to hide.
Such mountain of malfeasance and and pub
lie plumber the federal treasury Systematically
depleted to support party organs, buy over dem
ocratic members of congress to support Lecomp-
ton and English bills to ensave Kansas, coup
led with wholesale forgeries of naturalization
certificates wherewith to carry elections by il
legal votes-was never before collected. Yet
these are but few of the shameful and blast
ing facts developed by this investigation. We
do not now wonder that the sold public func-
tioO"l az thS vi inc ADMINISTRATION pro-
tested against being called upon to tell what he
knew Of the matter The following is Il syn
opsis of the report;
The report commences by speaking of the
embarrassments the committee encountered
among which was the proclamation by the presi-
dent that the power of the administration would
be exercised to protect witnesses in not obeying
the summons or in not testihng after obeying
the summons. They say the country would be
astonshed at the shameless record in regard to
the Lecompton constitution. They examine
first the empathic pledges of the president and
cabinet to the doctrine of leaving Kansas free
to administer its own institutions second, the
deliberate violation of these pledges, and the
attempts to convert Kansas into slave state
by foIrgeries, fraud, and force; third the re-
moval Of sworn agents of the administration
for refusing to violate their pledges fourth, the
open employment of money in the passage of
the Lecompton and English bills; fifth, the ad-
mission by parties engaged in electioneering

LEcTURING FOR MoNEY.--That Union-saving
paper, the New York Express, accuses Mr. Lin
coin of having taken money for delivering a
lecture.
Where is the difference, in this respect, be-
between writing an article for oral delivery and
writing one for delivery through the press p
The Erpress takes money for its editorials, does
il notP The only difference in the two cases is,
that while lectures are generally worth the mon
ey paid for them, the articles of the Express are
often worth nothing at ALL The man who writes
them would have need, for modesty's sake, Of
hiding himself away from view, when money is
being paid for them. How did the Express get
its money?!! Did it never take pay for pub
fishing to the world quack remedies, both in
medicine as well as in politics, and thus prove
doubly injurious to the health, of its readers
physical, intellectual, and moral? We shall
learn from these slave-advocatin papers bye and
bye, perhaps, that certain kinds of labor of the
head, as well as that of the hands, are discred-
liable. We must prepare for that same lesson
which has been only too thoroughly impressed
upon our Hispano-American brethren of the
South, viz; That to work is not "genteel!" II
is fit only for slaves!

THE PRosPECT.--Thc union and harmony of
all the elements of opposition to the national
is so well cemcnted as to give
cheering indications of a complete Republican
victory in November, whether the democracy is
divided or united. The Milwaukee Democrat,
late the leading administration paper in Wis
consin has hoisted the Lincoln and IIamlin flag
and is now doing battle for the Republican
cause. OF the one hundred and fifty opposition
journals in Pennsylvania, all but two support
the Republican ticket. In Indiana and Illinois
they are all for Lincoln. The Newark On. J)
Mercury says: "From every quarter we have
the same information. and undoubted assuran-
ces of cooperation from all the elements Of the
opposition" Cassius NJ. Clay has written a
strong letter indorsing the Republican ticket,
and Judge Bates of Missouri, in similar
epistle, declares his purpose to support Mr..
Lincoln, whom he knows to be an able, upright
and true man, and whose election he considers
necessary to secure the defeat of the purely sec
tional and corrupt purposes and designs of the
democracy.

THE REVOLUTION IN SICILY.

The kingdom of Naples is rent in twain the
island of Sicily is detached and free; and the
emancipation of Italy, from the Alps to the
Adriatic, from Sicily to Switzerland, is no lon
ger a wild dream, but nearly accomplished
thing. Garibaldi's campaign in Sicily realizes
the old Romans boast-"I came, saw, con-
quered." Palermo was his, city and citadel, at
last accounts; he had dictated terms to the
garrison, and they were retiring, during the
cessation of hostilitles secured by an armistice.
OF details, we have few that are connected or
satisfactory. What is known is thus summed
up by the London Times, with appropriate COM
ments on the achievements and the achiever:
By the 26th of May, Garibaldi had entirely
cleared the country about Palermo of the kings
troops. The battle of Monreale, impudently
represented by the official accounts as a victory,
had been a most complete defeat, and had been
followed by the retirement of the troops into
the town and the investment of the place by
the Sicilians, who, though insuficiently armed
and almost entirely destitute of cannon, were
numerous, and elated by their success at Gala
taimi and Monreale. At four o'clock on the
morning of Sunday, the 9th, Garibaldi made
sudden attack on the north side of the town,
a distsict called Peperito. A fierce combat en-
SUED IN placing Garibaldi in possession of this
part of the place. No sooner was this accom-
plished than the inhabitants rose in mass, at
tackled the troops with every weapon which
chance could supply. Two or three hours more
sufhced to give the people possession of the
whole town, and the troops retired into the cit
adel. The garrison being driven out of the
town, the Neapolitan squadron began to bonn
bard it. During the whole of Sunday after
noon, and through great part of the night,
the ships threw shells into Palermo, the town
was set on fire in many places, number of
buildings were destroyed, and no doubt the loss
of life among the inhabitants was considerable
On Monday Garibaldi stormed the citadel 1t
appears that on the previous day park of ar
tillery was captured, and no doubt the Sicilians
were by this means better enabled to operate
against the refuge of the soldiery. OF the de-
tails of the last conflict we know nothing. 1t
must have gone hard with Gen. LAMA, howev-
er, for he determined to capitulate. The trans
action was arranged on board her Britannia
Majesty's ship Hannibal. We presume it is
stipulated that the army which has capitulated
shall not be landed at any other point in Sicily;
but, at all events, Garibaldi, with the capital of
of the island in his hands, and with a people
pie at his back flushed with victory, may now
bid defiance to any efforts of the Neapolitan
court.

The State Convention will meet at Rutland
on Wednesday next. The nomination for Gov
ernor seems to be conceded either to Windham
or Caledonia counties. Frederick lIolbrook
has many and warm friends in this part of the
State who desire his nomination. Ex-Gov.
Fairbanks has equally enthusiastic supporters
elsewhere; and he is said to have an additional
claim in that he did not serve out the full term
of his sentence under the old Wing regime.
but was pardoned out at the end of one year by
the people. lie now comes forward with a
claim for damages, which would be perfectly
valid were the Republican party the heir, adj
ministrator and assign of the distinguished de-
funct However, as the Republican party is
the only responsible political organization in
the State, it stands a very fair chance of being
called upon to liqudate this outstanding claim
upon the concern. A good title, according to
some authorities we have heard named as coun-
sci for the claimant cannot pass until this is
done.

of from fifty to hundred thousand. There is
not yet in New England that cooperation and
mutual assistance among the arts that there is
in the Middle States, and it is hence that we
stand more in need of the protection of a tariff
than do those states. We have aided to build
up the West with our money and the labor of
our sons; our old men are left at home while
the young contribute their labor and enterprise
to other quarters; our small farms are running
into large ones, and our large ones are running
up to June grass and to weeds. 1t is natural,
it is right, that in return we should have the
support of the West. The support that we ask
is a tariff-that would be of equal benefit to

Some of the delegations from the Western
States to the democratic convention at Balli-
more came attended by bands of music. The
spirit of "BomJon' failed at Charleston, and
they thought it best to try the softer and less
barbarous inspirations of brass instruments at
their next great effort. 1t was music that al
layed the paroxisms of Saul; but it could not
soothe the perturbations of the democratic par
ty. They were disconsolate, Responding and
wholly given over to the conviction that Lin
coin must be elected Some of the Southern
delegates pretended to be highly delighted with
this; because, they said, it would lead to Sc
cession of the cotton slave States, and these
would finally drag away the other slave States
into an irreyocable dissolution of the Union

AN IMPORTANT INvENT1oN.-Mr Howe of
Mortified has invedted substitute for the
iron chairs used for connecting rails together
on railroads, called "Iowes elastic fish joint,
which is much superior to anything heretofore
used for that purpose. 1t is made of couple
of pieces of wood, two or three feet long, which
are placed one under and the other outside of
the rail and are bolted together. piece of
wrought iron is placed under each rail where
the ends come together, and Il large spike is
drivn through the joint and also through the
iron, which is held permanently and keeps the
track from getting out of place. Those who
have been over the Vermont Central Railroad
during the past year, will remember number
of miles this side of Roxbury, where the trains
run smoothly and without the usual noise where
iron chairs are used This portion is supplied
with Howe's invention. The Connecticut River
railroad company are abandoning the use of
the iron chair and are substituting the "fsh.
Joint"

The CATTLE DIsEAsE.-Goyernor Hall re-
Gently visited Bellows Falls on his return from
the infected districts in Massachusetts, lie
thinks that the measures taken in Massachusetts
and New Hampshire will prevent the necessity
of calling an extra session of our Legislature !;
but he recommends that the border towns use
all the precaution in their power. The select
men of Rockingham have prohibited, by post
bills, the driving or carrying of cattle across
the State line il the town until the first day of
October next. This is wise precaution; and
if the disease cannot be arrested on the Con-
necticut, the uext stand against it should be
made along the Hudson and Lake Champlain.

the last eighteen months eighteen able bodied
men have emgrated from Springfield, Mass, to
Plymouth, TO engage in gold digging. Most of
the miners form coportncrship and purchase
from five to twenty-five rods square, and then
hire men to work for them. There are now
fourteen claims in operation, and the propretors
are averaging from So to $lj per day The
claim worked by Beals 4 Graves is said TO have
yielded as much as $50 worth of dust for seve-

Our friend, Mr. Kittredge, furnishes us with
copy of the "Rocky Mountain Ne,cs," pub
lished at Denver City on the Both of last May.
1t states that emigrants were pouring into the
gold regions at the rate of nearly thousand n
day; but their animals were in poor condition
owing to the prevalence of drouth which had
much injured the grass. Nevertheless, from
twenty-five to forty thousand persons were es-
timated to be on the road between the Missouri
River and the mines. A copious rain, however,
had finally fallen, which seemed to promise
suficiency of feed to the cattle and good crops
to the fields and gardens. The masses were
coming in well provided with teams, some mon
ey, and in most cases with provisions for from
three to six months supply. A considerable
number of capitalists were also coming on to
take look at the country and prospects. Many
OF the arrivals were by the Arl~---- -~..,
though the most were by the Platte.
Some discouraged emigrants were going back,
having become convinced that digging gold re-
quires work, and picking it up in large quan,i-
ties, without digging, is somewhat uncertain

on into the mines, where the largest nugget of
gold that had been found was worth about one
hundred dollars. Tents and covered wagons
were filling up all the available places in and
around the city, clustering around buildings, in
outlots, the streets, and all along the banks of
Cherry Creek and the Platte. AT night thou

a DEATH-l}ED COMES SION OF MURDFR-
Henry Harrington, an old resident of Beekman,
Duchess county, N. Y, confessed, while dying
OF consumption, a few days ago, that some
eighteen or twenty years ago, he an another
man (both of them employed in the Beekman
iron factory were in the factory woods one af-
ternoon, when pedder named Lee was seen
coming in that direction, and it was at once
agreed between them to waylay, murder, and
then rob him, when they should bury him in
the woods, and carefully remove all traces of
the deed. This was accordingly done, the I'M
conscious peddler trudging along with his pack
upon his shoulder and singing gayly, when the
murderers rushed from their hiding place, struck
him senseless to the ground, and then deliber-
ately dashed out his brains. He was at once
taken up and buried in the factory woods, when,
as agreed upon by them, all traces of the deed
were carefully obliterated, after which they took
different directions and returned to the village.
Before the conscience stricken wretch could fin
ish his confession, death sealed his lips, but
enough had already been said by him, as to his
associate in crime, and the place where Lee is
buried. The man whom Harrington accused
as being implicated with him in the Decd left
Beekman very suddenly eight or nine years
since, and from that time to this has never been
heard from or seen. The circumstances of Lee,
the peddler, having suddenly disappeared, and
never being heard of more, are recalled by old
inhabitants of the neighborhood, and the con-
fession is fully accredited.
