A Remind ar to Allison.

Now that the selection of United
States senator is settled, and our
distinguished representative Allison.

der, in the way Of contracts, railroad
subsidies, &C., as the house affords.
without ascending into the higher
stalls Of the senate. where cattl. get
rich and sleek and smooth, whether
they will or no, and still be perfectly
yirtuous, (uids Harlan now that
all this is over, we would direct the
attention Of our virtuous representa-
tive to the little promise he made
last spring, which we are sure he has
forgotten !! That promise was to de-
mand an investigations into the
charges of fraud and pcculation madc
against him. We know he would
have done it ere this, had his mind
not been so pre-occupied with the
senatorial matter that he absolutely
forgot all about it. Now, however,
he viii have more time to devote to
these little matters. The Vest
Union Union thus sticks pin in tho
matter that may help Allison to find
the place where be left off: .4
"Ncar the close Of the last con-
grcss Mr.. Allison in an &c puyts
statement in his own behalf, denied
the charge of corruption preferred
against him during the last canvass.
and said if these charges were repeat
ed he should embrace the first oppor-
tunity on the assembling Of the next
congress to call for a committee of
investigation. Those charges have
been repeated and re-repeated, the
congress in which Nr. Allison pro-
posed to embrace the frst opportuni-
ty to call for committee Of investi-
CATION, is now on the second month
of its second session, and We hear
nothing Of the proposed investigation.
MIR. Allison could talk very bold
about an investigating committee to
demonstrate his innocence, when tho
term was 80 nearly at close that
there was not sufficient time for tho
Investigation. In other words he is
very courageous wherc there 10 no
danger, but when the appropriate
time comes for q committee Of in
vcstigation. his courage oosss out
aud he don't face the music, aud
thereby virtually admits the charges
to be true. ."-Dubuquc Herald.
