cox coRSERED.
Little Mister Samuel Cox got handsome
y cOrnered, to-day, on direct question Of
veracity. He moved to strike out of an
appropriation bill, under consideration,
the i'ems for a mission to Hsyti
and Liberia, and charged that these
were purely partisan missions, and had
been admitted to be such by Mr.. Gooch Of
Massachusetts. When the bill creating them
was under discussion, Mr.. Kelley suppos-
ing Gooch to he absent demanded what
authority Mr.. Cox had for making such q
statement. Mr.. Cox reiterated hi. sSItStss-
Iu1uJ sVIvHSV5E PUEsIUIe IanguaSe.
Mr.. Kelley replied that he had simply to
say that it was utterly untrue and that no
such statement had been made by Mr..
Goooh or any other member on the Admin
istrstion side, and appealed to the records
for proof Mr.. Cox appealed to Mr.. GOoeh
then in his seat who replied, utterly deny
ing that he had said anything Of the SORT
whereupon Mr.. Cox subsidized. Mr.. GOocb,
and Thad Stevens, both followed in sharp
snimadversions upon his speech
The recent detection Of frauds in the Re-
demption Bureau Of the Treasury Depart
ment aroused Secretary Chase with sus-
piston as to the possibility of frauds in GER
tain other bureaus. He accordingly aP-
piled to the War Department for its chief
detective officer, and has had this officer
with corps of assistants, for some time
secretly engaged in watching men con-
neOted with printing Treasury notes and
postal currency. The first results Of this
investigation was made to-day in dis
covering Of certain frauds perpetrated BY
DR.. Stuart Gym, Of Boston, who was at
ance arrested. s. NJ. Clark Chief Of
the Printing Bureau, has alsS been
relieved to await the results Of the Iuves-
tisatiOn in the case of DR.. Gyinn. Every
effort will be made to probe it to the bot
tom.
Col. Clark, late Chief-Commisssry of
the Army Of the Potomac, denies that his
removal had any connection with the re-
cent developments in the Quartermsster
Department, and says that it was made at
his own request. He has been ordered for
duty to New York.
Indications are that President-msking
speeches will soon bs the order Of the day
in both Houses.
Mr.. Blow, of Missouri, threw bomb
shell into the Democratic ranks by intro
ducing 6 resolution that whereas to-mor-
NOW Was the anniversary Of the. birthday
Of Andrew jackson, the statesman who
first proposed to hang the rebels and
who would have hung the father Of Seces-
ion but for the tender hearted interposition
of Hsnry Clay; who declared that after
the tariff Slavery would be the next pre-
text for secession, &c., thus reciting in or
der many Of JscksOn's radical express
sions, that in memory Of this stAunch pa
triOt and supporter of the Union, the
House adjourn over his birthday. The
Democrats tried to oppose it by parlis.
mentsry lodges, but failing in this, some
Of them protested against such resolution
coming from the Administration side Of
the House, and voted against il. The Sen
ate devoted the day to the discussion Of
amendments to the ConscriptiOn Act. The
