The New ORLEANS ISvEsTIGArIoN.-
Senator Campbell was before the Con.
gression,l investigating committee at
New Orleans on Thursday, and testified
that he did not know of any senator hav.
ing been influenced in his acts by per.
sonal interests or pecuniary motives. He
admitted that such charges have been
made, but did not know of them himself.
He admitted that he had stock in the
Mississippi canal company, but said that
he bought it. He also admitted that he
was senator, major general of militia and
land commissioner. He did not think
he violated his oath as a senator by hold.
ing other positions Marshal Packard
produced list Of the charges against
Gov. Warmoth Some Of the committee
objected to the reading Of the charges
unless they were submitted under oath.
The marshal stated that all he could
swear to was that he believed them to be
true. The charges, thirteen in ALL were
then read. lie charges the governor
with bribery and corruption in office, etc.,
and with using the registration and cleo
ton laws in his own interest, to return
such men elected as he wished, and with
corrupting members of the Legislature
by bribery. After each charge witnesses
were named who would testify to their
truth. After the reading of the charges
the marshal stated that he verify believ.
ed the governor to be guilty of gross
misdemeanor and dereiction Of duty and
that, if the committee would call witnesses
and examine them, they would become
convinced and satisfied, as he is, that the
charges are well sustained, and that he
had good cause to be antagonistic to the
governor. Mr.. Packard was before the
committee nearly four hours.

The New AppOrtionment.

The apportionment matter is not yet
ended. The Senate passed the House
bill substantially as it came from the
House but with few amendments of
minor Importance tackled on. The House
concurred in these amendments prompt
ly. This bill reduces the representation
OF Vermont to two members. A verbal
mistake in the Senate amendment made
it necessary to recall it for correction, SO
that it has not yet been sent to the Presi-
dent for his signature. The correction
will no doubt be made and the President
approval secured and the matter be final
~ disposed Of in the manner proposed by
the bill as now decided.
Under this act the amount of repre-.
entati0n is l34,o95. Vermont gets two

With every day now, the prospect of

Bills looking to that devoutly-to-be-wish-
editor consummation have been introduce

But these committees make no sign. The
World correspondent predicts that they
never will at least, he says tho impress
sion is steadily growing stronger that
there is to be no action taken. The Al

the committees appear to have gone

in past Legislatures, is not going to be as

now instead ofsaying anything ourselves,
quote the words of the Wilmington
Statesman, which says. The editor of
Children's Hour has done n great deal
for the instruction and amusement of the
people, both old and young, but we think
that in giving this little monthly to the
youthful world he has done both State
and Church, home and society, favor
that will be blessing to them, and q
source of lasting qualification to him as

this. The Childrens Hour is published

annual meeting which was held at the
Company's Office at Rutland, on Tues.
day, with supplement on Wednesday,
disclosed n condition of financial unsound-
ness not before known. Some months
ago rose colored report was issued,
which showed the company nearly free of
debt. But now it appears that Governor
Page forgot two or three little items Of
Indebtedness, which make a difference,
out Of pocket, to the stockholders of
about one and quarter millions. This
little discrepancy raised something of q
breeze among the stockholders, but they
finally concluded to re.elect the Cover.
nor as Director and President This
Indebtedness will prevent dividends
for year or two at least. Had there
been no Indebtedness, the terms of the
lease to the Vermont Central, were such
that the stockholders were sure of annual
dividends Of 81 per cent. Naturally
they were little disappointed.

@ Our Shoreham friend is unncces-
sarily sensitive about the delay of publ
cation of his article His suspicious that
his positions are publicly assailed before
the publication Of his argument, are en-.
tirely without foundation. No one be.
sides the editor of this paper has, to our
knowledge, eyer seen his communication
And although We regard it as perfectly
legitimate to advise with our friends as
to the bearing Of any communication,
previous to its publication, yet in this par.
particular case,wc have not done so. If We
had, it is difficult to see any improperly
in the act, as the article was written for
the public eye, and the author acknowl-
edges the authorship by permitting it to
be published over his real signature.
If any further explanation is needed we
might add that it is sometimes conceded
