mittee submitted its report on Tues
day oflast week, recommending there
in the expulsion of Ames aud Brooks,
and wnitewashing the other parties
implicated in the disgraceinl and vii
.lainous affair, Brooks is the only
Democrat in tho whole crowd, and his.
stock was purchased before he became
q member OF Congress, and nor OF
Amcs but Of, Dnrant. Still Radical
ism demands yiearious sacrifice, and
the sins of Scolield, bingham, Colfax,
Garfield and others are TO be visited
upon his head. II Ames is guilty OF
bribery somebody is guilty of being
lbribed. Who these are the testimony
before the committee most abundant
" discioscs, and the attempt of the
report to cover up and daub them
over with Congressional whitewasi
is nonsense, and it is sinlpIy ridiculous
to talk about expelling Amesi and
Brooks, while half a score or so of
Congressman are left unpunishcd.

The Washington correspondent of
the Tribune of the 2Sth. saws: 8. The
Democrats are not willing to let the
Credit Mobilier scandal rest quietly
until the Poland Committees resolu
tion comes up for action next Tuesday
They stirred up the uncanny thing
again to-day. Mr.. Wood offered as
question OF privilege a resolution re-
ferring the Poland report TO the Judi
ciary Committee with instructions to
bring in articles of impeachment
against Viee-President Colfax, if in
their judgment the evidence implica-
ting that officer should warrant, his
impeachment. The Republicans were
generally taken by surprise, and did
not know what to do at first. The
Democrats had of course received
notice of Mr.. Woods intention, and
provided Tor its reception, as it would
seem, by getting Mr.. Tyner to at once
raise the question of consideration, AN
unusual method of defeating prop
osition. The Yeas and NAYS were at
once demanded. and the vote stood
105 TO 100 on the question, ''ShalI the
resolution be considered by the
House Z" The Democrats all voted
Yea, together with the following Re
publicans: Messrs. Beatty, Bolles. b.
L. Butler. Farnsworth, Goodrich.
Morphis, Porter, Stevenson. and w.
&, Smith. All the Credit Mobilier
stockholders voted Nay. The close
ness of the vote alarmed some of the
leading Republicans, who began to
suspect that they had fallen into a trap
set for them by The Democrats, and
had put themselves in the attitude of
defending Mr.. Colfax. Before the
result was announce d halt dozen of
them put their heads together and
prepared a resolution almost identical
with Mr.. Woods except that Mr. Col
fax's name was not mentioned. The
words "any officer of the United
states, not a member of this House."
being used instead. This resolution
was adopted without opposition. Ev-
erybodv knows that Mr.. Colfax is tho
only officer liable to impeachment un-
der The testimony, and the refusal of
the Republicans TO permit the men
tion OF his name in the resolution
shows remarkable degree of tender
solicitude on their part.

s. The Senate Committee on Pfiviieg-

throughtheif Chairman, Senator Car
psnter, of w Wisconsin, that there has
beeuznO legal election in, Louisiana,
anu that, therefore, the whole ques7
ton mnst be rensalidea to- the people;
There wasra legal election I'M Loaisi-
ana, and that WAS for Greeley for
President and al emery for Governor.
By the basest fraud and forgery, sus-
tained by Federal ieisnrpation,n in The
shape of fbayonets, the choice of the
people have been prohibited from
taking the places 1tnl W hichl Ehey were
elected The right thing for Congress
to do would be to recognize this fact,
and brush away like a cobWeb,r the
foul impostune known sas the Kellogg
State iGoyernment, which is headed
by o acarpet-bagger from Illinois, iate-
ly a. Congressman from that State.
But sueh ID the, violence of partyJfeel-
ing at. This lime, SO completely, in
such cases. does it ride over every
sense of JUSTICE that it is, perhaps,
even more than could be expected
that,the Senate Committee declined
to recognise the frand, and proposed
to give the people OF Louisiana aneth-
ers3 opportunity to- yindicate their
right Of self-goyernment. This, il
adopted by Congress, will be held as
o boom by oppressed and subjugated
lLouisiaHa, Although representing
their own paek8d Committee, we are
fearful it will not be adopted by Com
