G1orying in His Own Shame.

\ member of the House Of Repre-
sentatiVes Informs us that Gov. War
moth was on the floor Of the House on
Wednesday, boasting of the victory he
had obtained over his adversaries of
the Custom House RcfOrmers by the
disclosures he had made before the Con-
gressional Committee as to the interest
Of some of the leading ones in specula-
tive schemes passed through the Legis-
latufe by corrupt means, and to which
his approval had been sought. Gov.
Warmoth, we are further informed,
voluntarily confess that sshe had told
the Committee more than twenty lies.'
If this is not a case of glorying i'm
ones own shame we should like to
know what would be. Of our own
knowledge we can testify that the Gov
ernor has not exaggerated the numbc
Of f,lsehoods Of which he was guilty.
The members of the Committee, we
presume, regarded but a small portion
of the Governors testimony as true.
The smile with which lie accompanied
his most bare-faced statements pro-
claimed to every listener their falsity,
but we hardly expected that the Gov
ernor would go about the streets and
legislative halls and boast Of his own
viilainy. AS Il champion prcvaricator
we were prepared to give Gov. War;
moth a certificate, but his own avowal
OF downright lying renders it entirely
necdlesS.-I5ee.

The Committee of Investigation Adjomrns
to Washington.

This body has suspended its invcsti-
cation very suddenly and will not, we
opine from its closing order, meet here
again. This will be a disappointment
to those citizens who wished a complete
exposure Of existing corruption by an
impartial inquest. We have been told
of five creditable persons in possession
of unnoted and important information
to be published, whose testimony has
been cut off by this departure. We shall
look with interest for the report of the
committee upon the sole point of legit-
innate inquiry, whether the people of
Louisiana are living under ga republi-
can form of government Possibly, in
the proven and avowed intermixturc of
the three functions of republican gov
crnment in the same hands, the COM
mittee may have found enough to sat
isfy them Of the main propositions. But
there IS another theory on the streets.
1t is that the committee has uncovered
an amount of corruption which may
damage the dominant party. 1t may
be that it fears those dissection wounds
which are sometimes fatal to the ope-
r;ator. Anyway, i'm Immediately after the
inspector who testified that his ballot
box had been stuffed, and he could lot
tell who did it without eliminating
himself, the committee renowned the
pleasures Of the carnival and almost
skedaddlcd in it's haste to escape from a
city which they may perhaps regard as
doomed for the iniquities OF it's rulers.

Florida.

\ letter from jacksonville; to the
New York Evening Mail, has the
following:
a prominent gentleman with whom
l have been talking regarding the
condition Of the South, says the only
salvation tor the Southern States is to
go into bankruptcy and then take a
flesh start. He says the debt of this
State is a great deal more than the
whole State would sell fof, and that
there is no possible way for the credi-
tors to get thir money. What funds
there are in the State are controlled by
thieves and robbers, who have quite
as little regard for the honor of the
State as they have for their own.
Here is an instance of the nspecula-
ton" in fashion. The State issued
81, 100000 Of bonds to a railroad; these
were sold in London for $3,4OO, 900 a
New York house received $3.50, 900 flor
negotiating the bonds, and the remain
der was turned over to the raiiroa d
company. All that can be shown for
the 81, 100000 is about $1,000 worth
of work on the road.

Amnesty.--Thc Vote on Summers Amen.l-
ment.

WAsH1NGToN, Feb. 9.-After Il dis
cussion extending over six hours, the
fate of the amnesty bill was finally de-
cided by the Senate in consequence of
the adoption of Summers civil rights
amendment. The Radical Senator
from the Pacific cost made frequent, but
unsuccessful, attempts to incorporate a
provision depriving the s.Heathen
Chinee" Of the protection of our laws.
Mr.. Upton made Il very earnest argu-
ment against the Federal encroach-
ments on the rights of the States, and
predicted that the day was not far dis
tant when the people would overturn
such unconstitutional legislation by
force, if necessary. When the vote
was being taken on Summers amend
ment the interest was most intense,
Sumner and other Senators gathering
around the desk and watching the
progress of the roll call. When the roll
was completed it was found that the
vote was tie, MIR. Kellogg, of LOUISE
ana, who was present, refusing to vote
The Vice President hesitated for an
instant, and then gave the casting vote
in the affirmative, which was received
with great applause by the negroes in
the galleries. The adoption of this
amendment, it was conceded, was the
defeat of the bill, the Democrats and
several Republican Senators having
heretofore stated that they would not
vote for it with that amendment.
Messrs. Edmunds, Morton and Scott
then made Il bitter attack upon the
Southern people, and Sumner, and 9TH
ers of that illz, exhibited great elcc at
the success of their efforts.

Enechor Stands by Carl ScIlurz.

Prehistoric Cities of Europe.

All interesting discovery has been
made in the South of France. A dis
tlnguished geologist has found in the
Pyrenees, only a slight distance below
the soil, the remains of prehistoric
cities. The discoveries are very nu-
merous, and will help in pushing the
domain of history still farther back in
to the past than it has ever gone before
Previous to 1854 we had no idea of Ia
custrine habitations, but in that year
the winter was particularly crisp and
cold in Switzerland, ard the level of the
waters were lowered in all the lakes
The inhabitants Of Mellen had proftited
by the low water to raise Il little dixie
Oh the borders Of Lake Zurich. Dri-
wing down some piles, they encounter
ed obstacles, and found that piles and
enormous thick oak plankS had al
ready been driven down. Between the
pieces of wood they discovered stone
and bone instruments, clumsy pottery,
etc. These utensils bore such q resenl-
blance to those in use by the primitive
people, that it was at once concluded
that the NelIen discoveries Were of the
greatest antiquity. The ssfirst men,
OF that country were supposed to have
built their habitations above the water,
and if the hypothesis We're just, the
same vcstigcs of another age would be
found at the bottom of the principal
lakes. These conjectures were soon
| confirmed. The fishers remembered
that on former occasions their nets had
been caught upon piles driven i'll tho
lake bottoms; and pottery had also
been found, but had been ascribed to Il
late date. At last every one went to
hunting in the lakes, and out OF the
depths of the Helvetian lakes they
drew up to the light of modern day Il
civilization heretofore unknown.

Talk with Frank Blair OH Grant and Cuba.

"Gath, =" Correspondent Chicago Tribune.]
The other day sent card to Frank
Blair, who promptly came out of the
Senate, for Frank is as bold as lion,
and never evades the newspaper chal-
lenge. Frank invited j. Il. StiIIson
and myself back into the Marble Room,
and gave us q frank and free Blair con-
versation. He expressed the opinion
that Grant was Il ssgreat man, Said
he:
Gle has an immense personality {;
the awful incarnation Of self. He is
running this government without prin-
ciples, on the theory of personal sue
cess. He must be Il big man for who
ever saw a confirmed drunkard and
borrower raise himself up late in life,
unless he had some strong human elc-
ments for capital His government is
not comprehensive, not intellectual
only personal. The American people
are more in danger to-day from a man
of his character than they would be
from Aaron Burr, or man CT much
higher parts. Under Grant, we are
approaching that period of political
complacency and indifference, as peo-
pie, which will make the incoming of
a despot quite proper and natural.
"Grant cares nothing for party or
principle; he runs the thing for himself;
and many of the business interests of
the country are so situated that they
can better afford to drop into the line of
a powerful Presidents prejudices and
ambition than to join the people in
fighting him. Grant has committed
but one mistake as a politician-of
course, / am talking to you, boys, as
one politician to another and that
mistake is shaking Off the old Adolf
tionists who have revolutionized the
whole country, for the sake of certain
Swiss like Morton and Cameron, who
never cared for the darkey more than
Grant himself"
Said Frank, further, stGrant always
treats me we'll land there are few Demo-
Gratis he does not. He reserves his
frowns for the independent Republic
cans who do not join in with his usurp-
atiOns.''
"No," he continued, sas a Democrat,
l tell you, gentlemen, that Trumbull,
Schurz, and these other folks command
our respect; they have policy; the
President has none, but Grant,

AnecdOtc Of Wisfnll.

The following anecdote appears i'm
Harper's Bazaar. Mr.. Louis II. Wirfall
one of the leading Sccessionists of Tex
as and tho South, felt after Lees sur
render somewhat embarrassed as to his
corporal safety in Il land then in DOS
session of his enemies. He left Rich
mond in disguise, and Travelled on
muleback alone, for Texas. Dick Tay-
Tor had also surrendered, and all the
ferries and crossings We're in the hands
of the Federal forces. Wigfall could
pursue no other course but to risk him
self to be put across the Mississippi by
a detachment of Union soldiers. He
was we'll disguised. Observing that no
allusion Was made to himself, and wish
ing to know if possible, how the wind
blew, he began a general TRADE against
the leading Confederates, winding up
by lnquiring what would be done with
that scamp Wigfall if they should catch
him. The soldiers replied they sup
posed would hang him. eyes, they
would do exactly right, and 1 would
pull at one end of the rope!' replied
Wigfall, mounting his mule and trot-
ting Off westward.

What tile Public Expect of the Legislature.

Only thirteen working days remain
of the present session of the Legisla-
ture. Having assembled on the first
day of January, the session will end,
according to constitutional provision
sixty days thereafter-tllati is, OH Thurs
day, the Goth day Of February. Two
Sundays and one holiday intervene,
and thus only thirteen working days
remain. Forty-four days of the ses-
sion have already expired without the
adoption of any beneficial measures of
legislation. The time has been taken
up in profitless debate, and in efforts to
avoid action on those reform measures
which the Governor and his friends so
repeatedly assured the people should
be adopted. The measures which the
Governor, and those who act with him,
made such loud boast of having re-
pealed during the late excitement when
Senator Thomas left the body of Sena-
tors adhering to Speaker Carter, and
Joined the WarmOth men, are still laws
upon the statutebook. The Governor
does not pretend that the action OF, the
repeal was legal or that the repeal was
accomplished. Every one sees that
eighteen Senators did not constitute a
quorum of the Senate, and this was the
vote upon the measure to which we
have reference. 1t stands out as q mere
trick, the action of the General Assem-
bly, OH the repeal Of these obnoxious
laws. The community expect and in
tend to have these laws constitutionally
repealed or amended, and the sooner it
is done the better. 1t is impossible
that the State can be governed another
year in the way it has been, and that
we can go into another general election
under the present law. Reform must
be effecled either by peaceable or vio-
lent means. 1t remains for Gov. War
moth and his associates to say which it
shall be.-Bee.

Indictment OF Governor Davis.

A Galveston dispatch, dated the I'd,
to the Picayune is as follows:
The Federal Grand Jury who indict-
ed the State official was composed OF
seventeen Republicans and three DEM
ocrats. just before their adjournment
yesterday, Judge Duval, compliment
ting them upon the completion of their
labors, spoke of them as the most eff
cient and impartial jury he ever knew,
they never being absent from duty in
the twenty-five days they were in ses-
sion.
The principal counts Of the indict-
ments are as follows: j. =. NeWcomb
principal T.. J. Davis and VIM. Alex
ander, accessories. That the said New
comb did willfully, nnlawfully and
feloneously make a false and untrue
tabular statement of the votes cast by
the legal voters of the Third Congress
sional District for Congressman to the
Forty-Second Congress of the United
States, with the intent to deprive the
legal voters of said district of their
choice for COngressman-their opinion
being legally expressed by their ballots
cast at an election held according to
law and the further intent to deprive
u. G. Giddings of his seat in said Con-

to which the latter had not been elect
ed by the legal voters.
Facts Alledged-In Brazos county
Giddings received 200 and odd votes
majority, which vote was cast out.
In Washington county the vote stood
as cast, counted and certified to by the
proper officers of the county-Clarle
$500, Gidtlings 1850, which said New
comb counted and certified to as fol-
lows: Clarke $500, Giddings 10, said
count being false and fraudulent with
the intent aforesaid.
a separate Indictment was found
against Gov. Davis for giving fr:,udu-
lent certificates also against some par
ties in Hill county for stufting ballot
box one of them, on turning States
evidence, confessed to having abstract
ed 400 votes cast for Giddings and sub
stitutetl the same number for Clarke, un-
der instructions of said conspirators.
Alexander is said to have protested
against these acts, and rendered his
resignation at the time, but it is still
held over.

come back to our debt-that debt
equalling nearly three-fifths of all we

nothing, and, it must follow, we are
losing from wear and tear, Overf1ows
and inevitable decay. What pregnant
reflections are there for the poor and
struggling man who is barely able to
make buckle and strap meet! Every

In last weeks issue we showed that
the deficit in actual receipts for 1871,
