We print this morning, a fair synopsis of
the report of the Legislative Investigating
Committee on Printing The main facts en-
bodied in this document have been already
spread before the astonished public by The
TRIBUNE. But the conclusions of the Com
mittee, damaging as they are, give new weight
to the evidence which has heretofore excited
SO much and so severe reprobation of the
petty cOnspratOrs at Albany.

A more uncertain body than our Legislature
can hardly be found. The other day. after
passing to third reading the bill to allow
the Pacific Mail Company to reduce its capital
stock by an overwhelming vote, the Assembly
defeated that very bill by another vote equally
overwhelming. What had happened so to
turn the tide no man can probably find out
Yesterday similarly curious whlm seized the
Senate. 1t had previously agreed to an adj
verse report on the Central Underground BILL
by vote of II to Z, and yesterday it took up
the bill and ordered it to the table by vote
of IS to 49, 1t is difficult to account for these
vagaries but if they result in giving the peo-
ple what they ask-rapid transit-even vaga-
ries may be excused.

The King of Spain has made remark which. il
appears is circulated in different shapes in the Eu
ropean journals. The Pau MAI Gastie informs us
that the exact expression used by His Majesty in
reference to the umor THAT no would abdicate ap-
pears to have been: Not otherwise than embalmed
will quit Madrid" His Majesty does not appear to
have considered the contingency that nobody may
think him worth embalming

II is rather astonishing to read in The DuLHfD
Herald that there exists in st. Louis, Indiana. and
New-York City, and scattered all over the United
States, regularly organized band Of men with
regular outfit Of notaria seals, compissons, and
other appliances who have been carrying on for
years the business Of dealing in forged titles to Iowa
lands. The Herald says that it could give the names
and residences of men who regarded "a rich and
respectable in their own communities, who are en-
gagged in tho wicked business Of assisting
to destroy the titles to untold amounts OF
lands lying in Iowa, and this may hereafter
in many cases leave the fatherless and tho widowed
with the chances of almost hopeless law suit on
their hands, instead of an unncumbered inheritance.
Nonresident of real property in Iowa are adj
vised to apply by letter to the recorders Of the differ
ent counties, asking if any changes are apparent
upon their records in the chain Of their titles 1t beng
asserted that since the discovery of these mystic
rous frauds a large amount of lands are now being
held nnder forged deeds two hundred thousand
acres it is said, chiefly in the northwestern quarter
of the State of Iowa.

1t turns out that blame has been unfairly
laid upon the Public Printing establishment,
for the unexplained delay in the publication
of the report of the House Committee who
investigated the New-Orleans complication.
The Superintendent of Public Printing claims
that he has put into type portion OF tho
report which has been sent to him, but Only
about one-fourth of that document has yet
reached his hands. The Investigating Com
mittee returned from New-Orleans over two
months ago. Their report was shown to the
President; it was damaging to the Presidents
brother in-aw, Collector Casey; it has not
been submitted to the House; it has not been
printed. Now, then, who is budding out Of
sight this report which is suspected of being
uufavorable to an Administration which
courts Investigations"

Civil Service Reform being fairly killed at
last, the anxious superserviceables may
breathe easier After piquant debate in the
House, yesterday, the Willard bill was efiec-
tually disposed Of by a vote of 81 to 79-37 Re-
publicans voting to defeat the measure. The
horrible specter of reform in the Civil Ser
vice of the country has long created conster-
nation in the ranks of the Administration !;
now they are free from the difficult task of
making their votes, or the Presidents Wishes
npree with the Presidents words.

A vigorous debate in the House of Com
mons, yesterday, suggests some points when
might be commended to the attention OF our
State Department. Mr.. Thomas Hughes, NOV
ing an address to the throne, relating to Span
ish violations of treaty obligations in Cuba
respecting the slave trade, took occasion TO
make strong speech on the notorious slave
traffic in this Spanish colony. Other members
followed, and, when the needed demonstra-
ton had been made, the motion was with
drawn. The temper of the House on this
growing scandal was sufficiently pronounced TO
attract attention, it is to DO hoped, at Madrid
where Cuban affairs just now are treated with
genuine Spanish languor.

If the man claiming to be Sir Roger Tichborne
does MT resemble Sir Roger he was in the flesh.

Netterville, modest and transformations person in
London. While the trial was going on it was not
comfortable for poor Mr.. Netteryie to go into tho
street or the theater other place of congregation.
People would come Up to him and say: Excuse me,
sir, but are you re claimant This was not abb
solutely intolerable until "the claimant was
locked up in Newgate for that event. which
should have been to Mr.. Nettervile a relief. only
aggravated his misery. When people saw him they
thought that Orion bailed out. So they would
cry after him: There goes the vile impostorp
Only the cabmen and newsboys were civil and
kindly, and they would bawl: Here's Sir Roger
out again. Hurrab, boys. give him cheer" IL is
stated that the nuisance has reached such hight
that Mr. Netteryle has been obliged to leave London.

wears placard inscribed: 50 am not the claimant.

DR.. Bowditchs notion that the more liberal use Of
WINE and beer will diminish public aud private in
temperance, has naturally attracted a good deal II
attention. gentleman in Cincinnati writes toa
friend in Boston, "When l was young man
lived in town where beer and cider were the only
beverages drank among the masses, and drunken
ness was more general than have since noticed it
in any town." The same gentleman tells us that Mr..
Longworths motive for engaging in the manufacture
of wine was not to promote social temperance, but
to make money! fact of which we hardly needed 10
be informed. AS a rule, the lighter beverages are
used for the sake of the small percentage of alcohol
which they contain. With this certain constitutions
are content, while Others, and those, too, Of tho
majority demand and will and must have have
steady increase Of alcohol. The mischief is in drink
ing merely for the sake of drinking. great deal is
said of the nutritive character of wine aud beer but
was any man ever the for leaving them alonei

Mr.. Benedct's bill to provide Registry
law for the City and County of New-York has
finally passed the Senate by nearly unanl-
nous vote, only four Senators being against
it. The bill is elaborate and searching in Its
provisions, and seeks to place efficient guards
against repeatingiand other forms of fraudulent
voting. The chief faults Of the measure, judging
from casual examination, may be found IN
its cumbrous and complicated machinery; but
it seems to leave every possible avenue OF the
dishonest voter effectually closed.

Not long ago, when the Kansas Legislative
charges against Senator Caldwell came to
Washington, that gentleman INDUCED in a
great deal of spirited "hurlh.g." That he did
not, at the same time, ask for full investi-
cation by a committee empowered to send for
persons and papers may have been sheer in
advertence. He has now an opportunity to
supply that omission, since the Hon. Sidney
Clarke of Kansas has restated the gravest of
the allegations made against Mr. Cald-
well in O letter addressed to the Chair
man of the Senate Committee on Priv
ileges. Mr.. Clarke revives the frightful
stories Of Mr.. Caldwell's having bought up
the Legislature which elected him to the Sen
ate of the United States, and asks that he
Clarke have chance to prove this iniquity
before the Committee. After an impeachment
like this, of course, Senator Caldwell will ask
for the most searching investigation possible.
When the legislative investigation into the
conduct of our Judges abandoned the forms of
the Grand Jury inquiry, and permitted the
Judges themselves to appear by counsel, we
urged that the whole value of secret inquiry
had been lost, and that every dictate of good
policy required open sessions One of the
serious evils flowing from the semi-secrecy that
was nevertheless maintained has been the great
inaccuracy of the reports (emanating largely
from the counsel of the accused), both as to the
evidence given and the action of the Committee.
A correspondent at Albany corrects one point
on which we have been misled, and shows
that no evidence has been excluded because it
related to occurrences back of the present
terms of the Judges concerned. We gladly give
space to the letter elsewhere, and express our
sincere qualification that so injurious techni-
cality has not been permitted to affect the
Judgment soon to be passed upon men who
have made justice mockery in New York

AN INDICTMENT.

One of the most comprehensive in
dictments against the President that we
have seen, is this, from the pen Of New
Jersey lawyer;
Commencing with the removal OF Mr..
Motley" says Mr.. Mitchell, the exeeu-
tive interference of Mr.. Sumner, the
San Domingo project, the support given
to the villainies perpretrated on the
Southern people by corrupt officials, the
widespread corruption through all the
departments Of the Government, the
executive usurpations, the centralizing
tendency and the subordination of the
civil TO the military, the destruction OF
American commerce, the squandering
of the public lands to enrich gigantic
corporations. and Presidential despot-
ism that has no example in our history,
all conspire to make rejecting men
pause and ask themselves, Is it not
time to halt?" 30

One Of the papers says that in the
efforts made by the Mormons and their
adherents to procure the admission OF
Utah into the Union as the State Of Des-
eret, it appears that gross Qualification OF
census statistics has been resorted to-.
AT the time the census Of 1870 was taken
the population of the territory was only
about 1000. The Mormons now clam
that it contains about 100000 inhabi-
tants, growth of about $4,000 within
two years. The Salt Lake Tribune says
that this increase was secured by count
ing horses and mules as citizens, and by
reckoning largely upon probableincrease
of families. eet
