The budget Of general charges Of cor

ligerency, Cullom bill, and all that, have
been before the public for months; and
nothing was nor is to be done. But nov
we have the explicit and direct charge
brought agains; Mccarthy, of New York,
that he procured the insertion Of 8 clause
in Schenek's new tariff bill, securing
further aggrandizement o fhimsalf and as
s~ociates in the 0nondaga Salt Works,
aud appears unblnshing in his place on
the floor of the House, to champion the
enactment of his specialty-at the cost
Of his constituents.
Then Morrell, of Pennsylvania. = one
third owner in the Bessemer steel pat
ents, made himself conspicuous in the
championship Of an increased rate on
steel-now coming largely into use on
the railroads all over the Country. He
took an active part in the discussion Of
the measure. and his vote was challenged
on the ground of his being directly. per
sonally, and largely interested in levymg
this extra tax for payment by his con-
stituents and the Country at large. for
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of himself and two
partners. Such things are quite too
common, and it would pay the Republic
can National Committee, for the sake Of
the party, to keep a watch on Republi-
can Senators and Congressman, and re.
port them to their constituents.
