The House remained in session
until Saturday night, and lol

bills of many statesmen.
Yesterday the Senators were on
hand at p. m, when q telegram
was read from our Lieutenant-G Gov

absence and was nesting in the

INVESTIGATION.
We have no important facts to
report in regard to the work of the
two corruption investigating COM
mittees. The one investigating the
election of Caldwell sits with clos
ed doors, Notwithstanding the ire
of various Senators and Represen-
tatiVes. / understand they have
developed some important facts,
and that gentlemen heretofore I'M
suspected will be implicated in no
very honorable way. Whether they
viii fasten guilt upon any one is
altogether another thing.
The other committee to investi-
gate the charges made by the Law
renee Standard against Senator
Wood is progressing rapidly, but so
far the Senator is free from any
thing dishonorable. It was proven
that
CLARKE OFFERED HIM
the q. s. Mail agency for his vote,
and that g check on the bank for
5000 was made out, conditioned
that it shouiG be returned if the
Office was not forthcoming, all OF
which Senator Wood did not ac-
cept. II Clarke was the investigator
Of the investigations, as is charged,
it may prove that he raised Q club
which viii give him the hardest
blow Of all. And right here let me
say, that the young statesman who
presides over the columns of that

with the ornamental igurehead and
