IMPoarANT REPORT.

Washington dispatches state that one
of the most important and interesting
reports ever made by a committee Of
congress will be that Of representative
Stevenson, of Ohio, on the financial op-
eratious. past and present, Of the iusur-
rectionary States. The report will show
the financial condition Of each Of the
Southern States at the time of secession,
and also at the surrender, at reconstrue-
ton, and now; showing in addition the
losses BY the war, the increase Of the
debts up to the time Of reconstruction;
from that time to the present time; also,
the cost of conducting the State govern
ments at the different periods, and as
near as possible the amount Of taxes
levied; how the debts we're increased;
what frauds have been perpetrated, as
well as the general resources and assets
Of each State If the fraud feature Of
this exhibit is thoroughly exposed, it will
make a terrible showing for what is
known as the carpet-bag governments.

poLITroAL MORALS.

The New York Sun thinks it is moi
probable that senators like Morton and
Sherman, who supported Foster Blodg'
ETH fraudulent claims to seat in their
body, would find anything particularly
objectionable in the commission OF cleo
ton frauds in Arkansas In the interest
of their own partyi Or that the thick and
thin supporters of Grant, such as Conk-
ling and Ednunds, would be disposed to
find serious fault with anything which
had received the approval of their mas-
ter. But the great body of the Republic
can senators might resent the commits
sion Of fraud when coupled with perhdy
toward their own party organization;
and hence it would seem that Senator
Clayton's most effective defense would
be an endeavor to prove that if he COM
mitted frauds in the interest OF himself
and the Democrats, he had also commit
ted greater ones for the benefit Of the
Republican party. ssaai ~i'

The smoke and heated gases pass first through the

thence again descending they pass through the tubes

than any boiler of the heating surface in the

The durability of this boiler is greater than any
