The National Intelligencer, speaking of the
latest Investigate" ordered by the House of
Representatives, says:-"Mr Stevens has re-
CURED the House to appoint committee to 60

duties for the House of Representatives. Next
It will despatch committee to Norfolk to in
7estigate the riot there, in which white wo

Congress should, with as much propriety, be
:equired to travel about to every State, county,
aad precinct in which muder, or robbery. or
"ow of any kind has occurred The times are
sadly out OF joint" The l,ws forsooh are in
sufficient. The courts, judges, aud officers OF
the law are al incompetent, and the all-potent
majority in Congress must pertorce, IN the ex-
cess of its patriotism, undertake to supply the
slaco Of all the executive, legislative, and judi
cial officers of the whole Union, from the Pres
'dent Of the United States down tc the constab-
nlav,''
Tt is announced that Gen. E. D. Sewall is
Il this time engaged in making an inspection
Of the Fraedmen's Bureau in North Carolina,
Dv order of General Howard and it is added,
flat ''his report will no doubt tell a different
story from that of the Presidents inspectors

..lese latter gentlemen has given great offence
20 he Radicals. It has upset all their calcu-
.ations. Accordingly, Gems. S. and +. are
.ouudly abused The Washington Chronicle
charges them with making their report 'ac-
cordiug to instructions with being the mere
.ools Of the President" &c, &c. All this
makes the case more plain. 1t shows how the
Radicals are annoyed and disappointed.

The lower strata of New York society is
considerably excited by new law enacted
by the State Legislature, for regulating the
sale of liquor. The Board of Health will
hereafter have control of the whiskey-sell-
ing business. The object is not to suppress
the traffic, but to SO regulate it as to cor
rect many of its worst evils. Licenses
must emanate from the Board of Health,
who must be very. circumspect as to the
personal responsibility and respectable
ty' Of the person to whom license is
granted. All low, rowdyish and irrespon-
sible characters are to be denied licenses
and their "places" closed. Thus 1t is
expected to place check upon the evils of
the present loose and villainous liquor-sell-
ing system, and bring it under complete
and restraining control. The police have
already commenced putting the new excise
law into force, and the effect among the
keepers Of low dens and groggeries can
readily be imagined. Chicago Journal.
