CORRUPTION IN CONGREs,

The Washington correspondent
of the Cincinnati Gazette, who has
gained some credit and incurred
some odium by the faithfulness of
his exposures and the boldness of
his denunciations of the corruption
that reigns in high places, COM
pairing the Senate and the House of
Representatives gives the latter the
credit of the nearest approximation
to honesty. While we do not agree
with him in his estimate of the wis
dom of the measures devised by
Congress ia providing means for
putting down the rebellion" and for
devising check upon that great
political criminal, johnson" we
have little doubt of the truth of his
statement that, while the attention
Of the public was directed to that
Legislation, which was in response
TO the current fanaticism. 'lhe love
of gain got the better Of many mem
bers, and the result was corruption
deep and damning." In fact, the
world obtained a most authentic
exemplification of the fact that the
strongest professions of patriotism
and philanthropy are perfectly com
patible with practices no more ex
cusable than covert theft, and les
respectable than open robbery
Perhaps the difference between tn
Senate and the House, in the matte
of honesty, says the st. Louis Re
pULljcda, is due TO the fact that Tia
opportunities of Senators are supt

The agony. about the olerkship Of the
Hastings Court is happily over, and is set

Mr.. B. went over to Richmond this morn

keeping the Office in allegiance, waiting the
long delay of the person who received the
appointment several months ago.
-, The new appointment gives general
satisfaction. Mr.. Burch, though Repub-
lican, has not lost his Virginia instincts !;
and we have reason to believe he sought
the office more as an act Of kindness to the
=, late incumbent, Mr. Armistead, than from
any advantage personal to himself. Mr..
Armistead will be his deputy, and the du-
ties of the Office will continue to be dis
charged with the same promptitude and
fidelity as in times past. We heartily con-
graduate the public on this solution Of the
difficulty !; and when the court meets on
Monday We trust its proceedings will 60 on
without further interruption.
o. The law prescribes that certain duties,
among them the issuing of marriage
d licenses, shall be discharged by the senior
justice in case of g vacancy in the Office of
clerk. Mayor Burgess, therefore, ranking
the other Justices, responded to-day to two
or three applications looking to matrimo-
NAL union. In the general confusion Of

know that the happiness Of the people in
this important respect is not to be set at
