But the democrats, being more than
one-third, will not see Brooks expell-
ed without including several Repub-
licans i'm the same resOlutioHs.> This
will call forth discussion on the
particular merits of each case; and
there will probably be a big talk. but
no action. Butler, because he wants
to be leader of the House and (by the
way,) because would like to see poll
tics purified, will try to slay all the
guilty wretches at one fell swoop.
What would the country DO, if there
were not few pure men in Congress
to denounce corruption!
Much wonderment is expressed
that Democratic Committee should
sostultify itself as to bring n,such a
report. But there is no wonder about
it. 1t is not a Democratic committee.
The committee comprises five per-
sons. Poland and MeCrary are Re-
pnbiicans, Merrick and Niblack are
Democrats, and Banks is a, Liberal
Republican. AT least this is. their
nominal standing. But Banks is at
present an intense Republican.
Throughout the present session he
has been doing all in, his power to
atone for his course last year,l'In the
hope of1gettine some position from
the President after he becomes a pri.
vate citizen in March. 1t was. s.he who
introduced the resolution raising the
Presidents salary to $4,000 per an.
mum, Banks needs some position, fol
he IS impeeunious.l Niblack, a Dem.
ocrat, amountsgto nothing whatever
and would of course hold with Judge
Poland on all points. Merrick is the
only genuinely y Democratic element
on the committee But he is a new
man in Congress and having been
honored with the bosom confidence
of Judge Poland throughout the in
vsstigation, it is mot SO strange he
should have been. won over. The Pol.
and Committee is therefore, a Repub-
lican whitewashing concern!i. 10

the residence of DIR. j. WaggoDer, on

given and in few minutes a large

OuR four-foot side walks are hardly
wide enough TO- admit of three per-
sons yalking abreast thereon, yet il
frequently happens that one meets a
couple who seem to think they are
eentitled TO q moaopoly ofYthe splank,
and the unfortunate Jone pedestrian is
forced to take to the ditch under the
penalty of being pronounced an un-
mannerly boor. Either these folks
will have to manifest more of the spir-
it of accommodation or our City dads

walks.
