TO THE PUBLIC.

Circumstances seem to me to justify
the publication of certain documents in
my possession, which have reference to
my management of the affairs of the
Knoxville and Kentucky Railroad.
| submit, first, extracts of letter from
one of my counsel under whose advice l
declined to answer some of the questions
of the Legislative Committee:
JoxEsBoRo, April, IL, 1870.-Colonel
Joseph 4. Mabry: DEAR SHIN con-
sequence of 10Y apprehension that the
train might leave me, our conversation,
on yesterday, was brief, and unsatisfac-
tory, and TO prevent any misunderstood
ing, on your part, of the views which l
hastily expressed, / have concluded to
address you this letter.
Armed, as the Legislative Committee is,
by the resolutions under which they act,
with unusual and extraordinary powers to
compel the attendance and the examina-
ton of witnesses, it would be as useless
as impoliiic to undertake, in any manner,
either to defy or evade their powers1
They should be treated, of course, with
all the respect and Difference due the Leg
islatlYe Department, IN whose behalf they
act.
After much reflection on the subject, l
am still of the opinion that the most
proper course for you to pursue is to OBJ
tain full and complete transcript of the
record, duly certified in the case against
YOU and submit the same to the commit
tee, with request that they shall judge
and determine for themselves whether it
is proper for them to make any inquiry
touching any of the matters involved in
the suit. The comfy which is due and
generally observed by each of the co-or-
dinate departments of the Government
toward the other, would, as it seems to
me, preclude the Legislature from inter
fering in any way with the pending ju-
dicial investigation. At any rate, | think
the committee could, with great prOprie-
ty, report the fact, and await further and
more explicit instruction as to the Knox
vile and Kentucky Railroad. The ques-
ton could then be distinctly discussed and
considered in the Legislature whether it is
proper for that body to interfere with the
action of q judicial tribunal, or do any
thing that may affect the rights of pri-
vate parties, now lawfully under course
of investigation before an appropriate jul
diCatiOn.
1t has always seemed to me that there
is and must, of necessity, be some consti
tutional limitation upon the unlimited
powers of investigation usually exercised
| by Congressional and Legislative commit
| tees, and that there must be some poin
at which the rights of private parties car
be protected, and private transactions
shielded from the prying gaze of excited
curiosity; but where the precise boundary
line is, l am not prepared to say, nor d.
know that it has been defined either by
judicial decision or Legislative enactments
The spirit of our institutions, however
looks to fair play in every species o
trial and investigation, and, unless l an
greatly mistaken, you will find that
! firm, but temperate appeal to the commit
tee, or the Legislature, will prevent tina
body from throwing its weight into th
scales of justice and attempting to tur

HOUSE.

The bill to restore the pension of Mar
garet L. Bybee, of Tennessee, was reject
ed-yeas SO, nays 70.
WhittemOre, the Man of Check.
The Speaker submitted the credentials Of
b. f. Whittemore from the First Congress
sional District of South Carolina. The
credentials were read
Mr.. Logan objected to Whittemore being
sworn in for reasons he proposed to state
to the House. He did not want the matter
referred to any committee. The House
was competent enough to Judge of 1t. He
objected to the oath of office being admin
lstered to this man because he had dis
qualified himself from being member of
this body.
Mr. Farnsworth argued that the matter
should be referred to committee, SO that
the action of the House might be based
upon full presentation of facts and au-
thorities.
Mr. Logan did not want the question to
go to any committee, to be pocketed till
after the adjournment of Congress. He
wanted the question settled by the House
now. There was no necessity of an ex-
animation by committee. 1t was not a
question Of contested election. It was a
mere question of qualification.
The Speaker suggested that as the day
was assigned to the business of the Com
mittee on Claims, this matter be postponed
till Tuesday next after the morning hour.
Mr. Logan accepted the suggestion, and
moved the matter be postponed till Tues
day after the morning hour.
Mr. Garfield suggested a resolution to
make rule of the House that, in the case
of any person who presents himself at the
OF the House to be sworn in as a member
elect, who may have been expelled or re-
signed at same Congress while q resolu
ton for his expulsion was
pending, it shall be in order before admin
istering the oath to him to refer the case
to the committee which had in charge the
resolution of expulsion, or the House may
at once act on the case.
Mr.. Logan remarked, in reference to the
committee, that it would be treating the
case with consideration that it was not
entitled to. 1t was a mere question of
whether the House would stand by its
! unanimous resolution that this man was
unworthy of holding a seat in the House.
After further discussion, the question
was postponed till Tuesday next, after the
morning hour, and the House then pro-
ceeded with the business from the Com
mittee on Claims After disposing of a
large number of private claims, the House
adjourned.

The Princess EdiIha--Hcr True
story.
NEW York, June 18.-Mesdames Wood
huh & Clafin, whom the Princess
EdTths Gilbert Montez accuses of appro-
priating $4,000 worth of her valuables
left with them for safe keeping, tells a
story which puts an entirely different light
upon the matter. They say that she came
to them in rags and told pitiful tale of
want and despair, which induced them to
assist in bringing her before the public as
q lecturess in order to enable her to earn an
honest living. The idea of her owning
Jewels worth four thousand dollars appears
TO them utterly ridiculous.
Mr.. EIichaels, editor of the Druggists
Circular, said on being asked: ''That wo-
man who calls herself Editha Montez is the
greatest impostor and swindler that ever
walked on two legs. She is the daughter
of a former book keeper of John Hecker,
and her name is Claudia Solomon. A
scampish relative of mine, who has got
himself into innumerable difficulties, chose
to figure as Count Napoleon De Plesny.
She formed an acquaintance with him and
perhaps that gave her the motion of as
cunning the title of Princess Edltha
Montez. She used to come here and in
ouire about him, but gave her to under
stand that he was not to be seen here. l
heard no more of her until the affair OF
the lecture. As to her possessing diamonds
or ANYTHING Valuable whatever, it was
perfectly ridiculous"

Postal.
The Senate in Committee of the Whole
took up as unfinished business, the post
Office appropriation bill and amendments
relative to the repeal of ranking privilege
Mr.. Thurman moved an amendment that
the abolition Of the ranking privilege will
not take effect till August.
Mr.. Morton opposed the amendment for
two cent postage as involving loss of the
postal revenue without any corresponding
benefit, as it would not increase the mail
matter one per cent. He held that the
present rates of postage were sufficiently
low.
After further debate by the Senate on
Mr. Ramseys amendment as amended,
abolishing the franking privilege, providing
for one cent postage, ETC., the amendment
was rejected. Yeas Is, nays 80.

BEAUTY BY VACCINATION.

Transferring beauty by vaccination is
one of the new things under the sun of
France. A Paris paper contains the fol-
lowing advertisement ''Madam X. x.
permits herself to say that she has the
skin white of pearls, full health, thecheek
of roses, face of sweet expression, blue
eyes and black hair, and coquette
figure; therefore, is full of health; she
will be vaccinated next Tuesday, and in
as short time as possible the lymph of her
arm will be ready for the vaccination of
any one desiring to possess a purely
healthy vaccination. For terms, apply, "
etc., etc. 1t appears from this that
French ladies are SO deliCately organized,
that blue eyes and rosy cheeks are trans
Missile in the virus used for incubation.
If this be really so, it must be regarded
as one of the grsndest discoveries of the
age, the diffusion of beauty by vaccina-
ton. To acquire a pearly skin, sweet
expression, coquette figure, and all the
other charms, it is only necessary to Gull
tivate little scab on the upper arm.
What more could the most exacting queen
of ugliness ask2 Under the new order
of things, physicians will have to classify
their vaccine matter into blond, brunette,
red-hair and Roman-nosed varieties, and
treat their fair patients to en- infusion OF
each annually or quarterly, according to
the prevailing fashion.
