TEE Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gasette (RadicaD writes, July
II: members of the House seemed to
feel very much Inundated to-day while
Butler, of Tennessee, was on the floor as
a member of the Committee on Elections,
arguing that Rice, of Kentucky, was not
qualified to hold bis seat, on the ground
that he had given aid and comfort to the
Rebels during the late war. Yet Butler
had the GOODNESS to make such report
and urge it, while the reports of the
House show that he Butler) was avolun-
teer candidate for the Rebel Legislature
in 1861, and, second, that he took the
oath to the Confederscy, voted men and
money to support it, urged hunting down
Union men in East Tennessee, and did
many other similar acts. The House
heard him in disgust, and then voted al
most unanimously to retain Rice"

The committee charged with the in
vestigasion of the specific charges pre-
ferred by Fernando Wood early in the
session against Gen. Howard of maifeas-
ance and corruption in Office, were ex-
pected to report yesterday. The report
finally agreed upon, it was understood,
would declare that Gen, Howard, in his
transactions with the funds of the Freed
mems Bureau, acted with some indiscre-
ton, and not under color of law, but
without corrupt motives. Some of the
members of the committee however, will.
dissent from these conclusions and declare
that three-fourths of the charges have
been Overwhelmingly sustained by the
testimony, showing principally that Bow
ard drew money from the treasury, and
used it for private and speculative pur
poses, in violation of law and of the
army regulations sAn appeal to the
evidence is made by the dissenting mem
bers to show the existence of a regular
Freedmen's Bureau ring, most of whose
members have become rich from its opera
tons. The Washington correspondent of
the Cincinnati Gazette (RadlcaD writes,

1 "The expectation is that the Howard
Investigating Committee will report to-
morrow, though this will depend upon
the result of partial meeting of that
committee in progress tonight. 1t seems
that on Saturday very sharp differences
were developed between the Republican
members, resulting in throwing the report
of MIR. Arnell, upon which he had spent
three weeks, out entirely. When he had
his paper finished, he called the commit
tee together and read it. Mr.. Hoar OBJ
1 jected to considerable, and Mr.. Arnell
gave way finally. The portions which
it was agreed must be rewritten were as
signed to Hoar, Tyner and Townsend
Saturday these gentlemen came in with
their amendment, but Mr.. Hoar, to the
surprise of the Chairman, had taken
L it upon himself to write an entire re-
port, except blank places left
for the special charges assigned to Town
send and Tyner. Hoar at once secured
the adoption of his report by a majority
vote, and so threw Arnell the Chairman,
out entirely. The Chairman then refused
to report or sign it, unless his name came
last. When Hears report, which he
claimed had been made up from general
recollection of the evidence, come to be
closely inspected, it was found to be in
various particulars fatally at va rance
with some of the strongest points of the
evidence, and today it was thoroughly
overhauled, and good part of Arnell's
report put back again. The meeting to-
night is to see if all parties can be recon
ciled so as to secure report. 1t is un-
derstood that both Arnell's report and
that of HOar acquit Gen. Howard of in
territorial wrong doing.p -a1-f r7s
The friends of Howard on the commit
tee are driven to- the necessity of confess
ing that he used the bureau funds for
private purposes, but they try to shield
him by declaring their belief that it was
without Intentional wrong" Is there
a man in all this broad land wlD believes
they would have come to such conclu-
| sion about a Democrat similarly situated |?

IT appears that the carpet-baggers in
some of the Southern States have been
playing a bold game in regard to the
"swamp lands" Mr.. Julian, Radical, }
of Indiana, in a recent speech ventilated
piece of rascality INDUCED in by the car
pet-bagging authorities of Arkansas,
Mississippi and Louisiana. There is a law,
called the Swamp Land act, by which the
authorities of these States are authorized
to take possession of the swamp lands
and sell them. In order to make the
" job " more profitable, these lands have
been surveyed after a .freshet, and mil
lions of acres thus gone into the
clutches of the State authorities to be
dealt out to spectators. Arkansas, Mis-
sissippi and Louisiana had thus got
hold of 28,OOO,OO acres. The way in
which the Swamp act is carried out Just
now is huge, frighful conspiracy against
the rights Of the people, but a nice plum
for the "trooly loil men of that re-
giOn.

APHYsICIAN in London has invented an
electrical machine with which he can
make the human body entirely transpa-
rent. He puts you between him and the
light and then he can examine your inte-
rior as plainly as if you were made of
glass. You have the stomacbache, say,
the doctor lights you up, sees that ache
fooling around there among your works
and then he goes for it. The Radicals
have no need of the services of this doc
tor, for everybody can see the fatal
disease that has fastened itself upon the
vitals of their party.

''It is estimated that it costs thirteen cents

HoN. THOMAS EwNG, in a late letter on
the Mississippi nver, develops an inter-
esting theory of the tendency of rivers
running southwark to abrade their western
banks, and attributes it to the constantly
increasing centrifugal force impaired to
the water as it proceeds to the South. He
enforces this explanation by pointing to
the fact that ships sailing southwark must
correct westward tendency, that railroad
trains are affected by it, and that there is
a reversed tendency in all things moving
northward. This is an idea which de-
serves elaboration In the light of more
ample facts.

making arrangement to take the field as
candidate for election next fall to the

opposition to it among the more intelli-

upon the mass of voters as to render it
tolerably certain that he will be able to
secure the nomination. The 'smass of

CREATIONS.

The Chicago Tribune, the leading Re-
publican paper in Grants own State, is a.
loss to account for the motives for the
nomination of Thomas Murphy as Col
lector of New York. The Tribune
therefore INDUCES in the following con-
lectures. 1t will be seen in what estima-
ton Grant is held by those who know
him best. What a noble character for
craftsmanship he presents when viewed
in such light as his intimate friends por-
tray: ..-.- ....-
GAS it is impossible, therefore, TO sup
pose that Mr.. Murphy's nomination is
made either from political considerations
or from any estimation of his eminent fit
ness for the Office of Collector, the oues-
ton naturally arises. What could have
been the Presidents motive in sending his
name to the Senate? We do not propose
to answer it, inasmuch as we cannot pre-
tend to have any information upon the
subject There is an unworthy conjecture
that, as Mr.. Murphy has the reputation of
being a genial, even a jovial companion;
good hand at whist, judge and driver
of good horses, rather stfast man. gen
orally, and one whom, when one is con
pleasant thoughts inclined" it is well
worth while to know at Long Branch,
where Gen. Grant met him and saw much
of him last summer, that the well-known
good nature of the President may have
influenced him, from these considerations
to appoint MIR. Murphy. But, much as
we are at loss to account for the nomi-
nation, we are reluctant to accept this ex-
PLANTATION of the Problem. Another
theory is that Senator Fenton did not 90
strong enough for San Domingo, although
he voted for the treaty, and that the ap-
pointment of Murphy is made to punish
him. Whatever thereasons, the appoint
ment seems to have created a great deal
of establishment and bad blood in New
York.

THE GREAT
SPRING AND SUMNER TONIC.

Medical treatment has been revolution
lied, and at last the discovery has bean
made that RENOVATION, NOT PROS
TRATI0N, Is THE TRUE MEDICAL
PHILOSOPHY. The introduction of
PLANTATION BITTERS, pre-
pared with pure st. Croix Rum and
Calisaya Bark, opened the eyes of the
world to this great fact. The ife-sus-
taining principle embodied In this great
Vegetable Restorative is manifested In
the weak and responding by an immedi-
ate and most encouraging change. 0 II
the appetite has failed, It Is quickened;
if digestion has been painful and imper-
feet II becomes easy and thorough; If
the liver is torpid, 1t is reused and regu-
lated; if the nerves are relaxed, they are
strengthened and restrung; If the brain
has been haunted by morbid fancies, they
are put to fight and hope and cheerful
ness return. In the face of the extraor-
binary cures Of general debility, dyspep-
sia, bilioumess, constipation and mental
dependency, wrought by Plantation
Bitters, no practitioner not In league with
death and the undertaken could persist In
it. The terrible evacuents which were
once prescribed a. the Spring aud Sum-
mer medicines, have utterly lost their
prcsttge. The sick willnos take thsm,
and Plantation Bitters, in which are CON-
bined the elements of q stomAchio, an
