WIN. Remington aud TTonry clay.

A Lexington correspondent Of the Gin
cinnati Commercial writes that the cleo
tion of Mr.. Pennington, of New Jersey, as
Speaker, gavo much satisfaction in Lexiug-
ton, and adds:
l think it was either in 1S45 or 1S46
that Henry Clay became embarrassed to
such an extent that he had to mortgage
Ashland. In the meantime, movement
had been started in New Orleans by some
of Mr. Clays friends, that they would pay
his debts and relieve him from his embar-
easements, and Mr.. A H. Trotter, the agent
of the Northern Bank in New Orleans, was
sent east TO confer with Mr. Clay's friends.
The consequence was that about fifty thou
sand dollars were subscribed, and the Hon.
VIM. Pennington was sent TO Kentucky
with the money, and came to Lexington
without scarcely any person knowing him.
He walked into the Northern Bank, asked
for Mr.. Scott, the Cashier of the Bank, and
upon being shown that gentleman, asked
if there were not several notes of Mr.. Clay's
that were due in a few days, and was an
swered that there was. Mr.. Scott was re-
quested to give the whole amount Of Mr..
Clay's Indebtedness, which was done, and
a draft on one of the New York banks han
ded him, and Mr.. Pennington left the bank
with all Mr.. Clay's notes paid. In a few
days Mr.. Clay came to town to arrange q
renewal of the notes if possible, and wa:
shown in the side room of tho bank. AT
ter sitting a few minutes ho asked Mr.
Scott if there could be any arrangement tc
run the notes for longer time. Mr.. Scott
looked at Mr.. Clay to see if he was not
jesting, and finding that he was not, told
him that gentleman from New Jersey had
called yesterday and paid all of his indebt-
edness. Mr.. Clay started when Mr. Scott
spoke, looked at him a few seconds, burst
into tears, and left the bank overwhelmed
No man ever had such friends. Such, Sir
is brief narrative, an incident in the life
of the Speaker elect; and here, Sir, where
Mr. Clay lived, his personal friends are re-
ioiced that he has been honored with the
Speakership.

The Senate Printing Investigation Com
miiiee met this morning. Mr.. Wendell un-
derwent an examination Of upwards of three
hours. II appeared that some 2 or 8
parties were interested in the public print
ing, viz: Steadman, Banks, Mclean, Walk
er, Rice, Severns and Bowman. MIR. Wen
dell stated that he had paid out, during
the past three years, over 100000 for par
ty support to newspapers, and in aid of
election expenses, principally in Pennsylva-
MIA, but extending over New York, New
Jersey, Maryland, Ohio, &c Considerable
had been paid by official authority, and
some of his own free will He also stated
that by tho act of the Senate, in electiug
Bowman, who had given the work to Blair
& Rives, he had been left penuiless with
the largest establishment in the Union ly-
ing idle on his hands. The conduct of
Bowman toward him (Wendel) was shown
up in very bad light. Bowman, it ap-
pears, has given part of the work to jew
ett, editor of the Fillmore organ at Buffalo.
A. d. Banks and J. o. Seyerns were also
examined. They did not seem to know
much except that they had received aid
from Wendell.
Wendell testified that ont of the P. o
blank printing be paid in 1857 the sum o.
$4,000 To the Psnnsylvanidn newspaper Of
Philadelphia, and to the Evening Argus ol
Philadelphia the sum of $4,000.
He informed the Committee that he
went into doubtful democratic districts il
Pennsylvania, and spent money freely fol
the benefit of the supporters of the policy
Of the Administration.
Mr.. Rice, of Pennsylvania, was also be
fore the Committee and did not discredi
the testimony of Mr.. Wendell.

This is a very gratifying result, and speaks
well for the management Of the institution.
For great many years past, the balance
has always been on the other side, requir-
ing appropriations to meet them. Now
the institution not only pays its way, but
yields a revenue Of near $4,000 to the
State, This illustrates the difference be-
tween Republican and Locofoco manage
ment of our institutions.
