Corruption In Congress.

The correspondent of the New
y FORK world writes from Washington
under date of Feb. Is:
The House to-day plodded through
the never-ending flood of bills and
joint resolutions and single resolu-
tons, Incidence now to most every
morning hour OH Monday, and then
received from the hands ofthe Speaker
almost decided sensation in the shape
of the designations Olive members of
the House-onc from Hon. James S.
Golladay, Democratic member from
the Third Kentucky District, and John
I. Deweese, Radical Representative
from the Third North Carolina Dis
trict. The latter did not appear in his
seat, but Mr.. Golladay occupied his
till within few moments Of his re-
signation. After the designations were
read, they were simply entered on the
journal and the House without word
of comment went ahead with other
business. OF course both of these re-
signations were prompted by thepen-
ding investigation into the sale of ca
detships. and i'm Deweese's case it was
no; a moment too soon. for the COM
mittee this morning prepared reso-
luton for his expulsion. based on evil
denec that he had sold his cadetship
for five hundred dollars. But as long
ago as Friday, he anticipated that and
sent his resignation to the Governor
of North Carolina on Friday last. Had
