Editorial Paragraphs.

THE CORRUPTION FUND.-Our readers
are already acquainted with the fact that a
committee was appointed by the House Of
Representatives for the purpose Of fastening
upon the President the charge of corruption.
Butler very properly was made chairman Of
the committee. In nosing around, the
"spoon thief" got hold of man named R.
W. Newton, who testified to the raising Of
$780, 900 for the use of the President in the
manner following:
Q. Have you known from any information
whatever of any money being raised to be used
directly or indirectly, in or about the impeach>
ment case? A. No, sir.
Q. Have you heard from any person that
money was so being raised A. purse OF
100000 has been raised for President Johnson.
O. By whom2 A. By various of bis friends,
to be given to him if he was turned out of office;
and if not, $4,000 was to be given to him.
That is all the money know of being raised
Q. Who was engaged in it2 A. know Mr..
Smythe well enough to say that he was SUBJ
scriber 1t was raised by gentleman whom
had the honor of introducing to the President,
Mr. VIM. H. Appleton, of New York.
Q. Were any subscription papers handed
round? A. Never to my knowledge.
Q. Do you know whether any part of that fund
was subscribed here by any parties2 A. No,
sir, it was entirely raised in New York.
Q. You did not join in it3 A. l have not to
my knowledge. II Mr.. Smythe has put my name
down for a thousand or two l shall be glad of it.
should be perfectly willing to give him what
little could afford, if he was displaced.
The VIM. H. Appleton referred to in the
renort ia The Now York nnblisher of that
name, and a more honorable gentleman is
not to be found within the length or breadth
of the land. The subscription was intended
as rebuke to radical fanaticism, and was
gotten up by men who would scorn to resort
to bribery. This was the nearest the nosing
committee could arrive at corruption" and
having ascertained this fact they deemed it
best to adjourn.

suggestion. We read that large num-

The period at which this tale opens

view of the sea, and was partially shell.

blasts Of the Atlantic ocean by high
chain of mountains, that stretched far
away until they became blended with
the horizon.
The wind, which had been blowing
freshly off the land all the forenoon, sud-
denly changed to the southwest during
the evening, driving the sea furiousIy
along the beach. ana scattering the foam
high and broad across the lowland. The
clouds, too, assumed more leaden hue,
and large drops of rain were occasionally
borne in the blasts. Indeed, the eve

It still wanted an hour Of midnight,
and the storm raged wildly without. In

restlessly from side to side, as if seeking

And the laugh that heard has sober toue.

that lighted the false beacon on the head
land. It was only conjecture Of mega
tive character with him to be sure, but
the association of ideas in his mind were
peculiarly suggestive. The steamer,
after boisterous and protracted voyage,
arrived safely in port, as we have al
ready observed; and Ernest Fielding,
after first attending to a special commits
sion, which he had to deliver the mo-
ment that he arrived, appeared npon the
scene described in the cottage, almost
too late to save his fathers life.
The blow inflicted BY Fielding frac-
tured one of Sherrick's temple homes,
from which inflammation of the brains re-
suited, destroying life in a few days.
Thus ended the life OF that desperate
MAJ, unregretted by single person that
knew him in former years.

Quickly approaching the bed, he was
abontto plunge his sword into the sick
mans body, when well-directed blow
from heavy stick felIed him to the
floor: That s,roke was given by Ernest
Fielding.
By one Of those singular condolences
which men SO often attribute to chance,
but which, in reality, are nothing less
than interpositior OF Providence, Ernest
Fielding and Sherrick travelled in the
same steamer from Liverpool, and oc-
cupied berths in the same state-room.
From various inquiries which Sherrick
had made of young Fielding, whom he
did not know, relative TO his father, as
well from the incoherent threats uttered
by him during sleep ielding was dis
posed to be alarmed. At all events, he
determined to watch bis, conduct closely,
