THE CREDIT MOBILIER INVESTIGATION.
The Credit Mobilier investigation will go
promptly forward. Considerable interest has
been developed by efforts of Judge Black,
counsel for McComb, to have the investiga-
ton suspended, postponed, or in some way
arranged without further publicity at present.
Mr.. Black, Tuesday made overtures of this
character to Mr.. Ames, which were promptly
declined, and the investigation will doubtless
60 forward at once.
PETITIONS PRESENTED.
Mr.. Lynch presented in the House the Pc
tition of Mary A. Prince of Portland for
pension, and Mr.. Frye presented the petition
of the soldiers of the war of 1872 and their
widows, asking that the law be extended to
include all those who served less than sixty
days.
THE CIVIL SERVICE RULES.
Mr.. Snapp, of Illinois, who achieved some
temporary public mention last winter, by his
attack upon the civil service system in gro
tesque speech, will renew his opposition to
that system this session, in set speech. so
soon as a measure is introduced into which
this speech will fit 1t is his purpose to at
tempt the entire destruction of the visions
and dreams of the "Board of School-mas-
ters."
The Postmaster-General has received re-
cent instructions from the President which
disclose the determination rigidly to exclude
all political reasons in the consideration Of
removals. The instructions were to the eff
feet that in the blanks in which causes Tor re-
moval are entered the Postmaster-General
should indorse over against all political rea-
sons assigned for removal, the words ''not
considered Mr.. Creswell gave it as his
opinion that a postmaster would not be re-
moved if there was no other reasons assigned
therefor than the fact he had been violent
partisan of Mr.. Greeley.
MR.. HUBBARD's POSTAL TELEGRAPH BILL.
Mr.. Gardner Hubbard is in town, and his
postal telegraph bill, in modified form, will
be reported to the Huuse next woek by the
committee on appropriations.
THE CREDIT MoBILIER COMMITTEE.
The New York Times special says there is
much dissatisfaction expressed in certain
quarters on the Democratic side of the House
with the Committee Mr.. Cox made up to in
vestigate the Credit Mobiler scandal. Hol-
man of Indiana, and Randall of Pennsylvania
are most violent in opposition, AID do not
hesitate to accuse Cox of desire to gain fa-
vor among Republicans by his choice of a
Committee. They complain because no one
who voted against the railroad was
placed on the Committee. They pro-
fess to believe that the Speaker and
Mr.. Dawes will not be implicated in any
wrong, but when the names of several other
members are mentioned they shake their
heads. They say they want thorough in
vestgation, and that the Committee appoint
ed il not properly constituted to make it.

RECEPTION OF MINISTER WAsHBURNE.-A
Washington despatch says that the Washburne
reception Wednesday evening was complete
success in every way. Among the persons who
sent letters of regret at their inability to at
tend were Secretaries Fish and Boutwell,, Vice
President Colfox, and the Japanese Minister.
President Grant at the time the reception was
proposed was very anxious about it, but yester-
day he said, II had better go to Washington
now. came here really to attend Mr.. Gree
ley's funeral. do not want any misapprehen-
sion about it. If 1 stayed here to Mr.. Wash
burne's reception it might be misinterpreted."
Henry Wilson said that the President wanted
to compliment his old friend Washburne, but
he felt depressed by the occurrences of the day.
After the President returned from the funeral
he saw no visitors at the hotel, and at g. 80 was
driven to the depot for Washington.

There is no member of the Radical par
ty in Tennessee, as thinker and speaker,
better than Horace Maynard. People were
gathered by Andrew Johnson's fame, and
then captivated by the graces and elo-
duence of Horace Maynard, ,and have voted
for him. 1t thus happened that Andrew
Johnson has not only been defeated, fear
fully defeated, but the people have pro-
nounced against him as popular de-
claimer. He was heretofore deemed un-
equaled in a peculiar capacity for self
adaptation to popular passions and ca
prices. He is shorn by Maynard even of
this dignity. The Pequod Congressman
has improved vastly in personal appear
ance. He dressed we'll and looked well
and spoke with great effectiveness. And
thus the great revolutionist Of parties has
not only wrecked parties, but wrecked
his own fortunes and at the same moment

Tennesseeans his lifelong partisan enemy,
