Mr. Durant, a New York millionaire
and corruptionist, has testified before the
Credit Mobilier Investigation Committee
that he had been approached by mem
ber, i'll 1864, who offered to sell his vote
At another time, four members of Con
gress came to him, purporting to repre-
sent some forty votes, and desired to
negotiate them. Durant says that he
declined to treat for them; but it is not
probable that as other lobbyists had several
hundred thousand dollars to be used in
this way, the forty Congressional votes
failed to find purchasers. There is no
reason to doubt, after Durants statement
that there is in Washington a Congress
slonal Agency for the negotiation and
sale Of votes.

Powers oss ttse Corruption OF the
Republican Party.

Here is one feature Of the Acting GOV
ernor's address in the social equality
gathering at the mansion, which our re-
porter failed 10 catch. 1t is reported in
the Pilot;
As you well know, in some of the states
he Republican party has fallen under
had leadership aud been diSQraced. The puri-
y of its principles has been polluted by the
ouch of unscrupulous and corrupt men,
Who have assumed the attractive livery Of
kepublicanism. in order to subserve the
vIlest purposes that ever diSgraced a free
and enlightened people.
But thank heavon, the party is possessed
otvirtue enough TO punish its betrayers and
hose who would make it cloak to cover
up Infamous actions.

The proposition in the Legislature for
a New Code, is premature and out of the
question. The present Code may have
imperfections but it was gotten up at
cost directly and indirectly, Of more
than 100000 and the idea Of doing the
work over again before it has trial, is
preposterous, and an imposition on the
public.

Ese1TEna1fon OF Judge Alaerzon,

Judge Anderson has done one thing,
if nothing more, that ought TO be set
down to his credit The Natchez states
that 'just as the Legislative Committee
appointed to investigate the capacity and
official conduct Of Judge Anderson, Of
the Third Circuit Court District, was
about to resume the examination nf wit
nesses, Gen. Chas. Clark appeared and
stated to the committee that he was auth
orized by Judge Anderson TO state to the
committee that, by the advice of friends,
he Judge A had determined to tender
his resignation to the Governor immedi-
ately. That from the testimony and
opinions Of the older members Of the bar
he was convined that such prejudices ex-
isted against him in the minds Of the
leaders Of the bar, that he could not ad-
minister justice in such manner as
would be satisfactory to the bar or to the
country. Gen. Clark then stated to the
committee that, from his knowledge of
'--N NS~tAAhOAIt gwen; lie tlIu not
consider that any misdemeanor or other
offence had been proven, or attempted
to be proven, which woul subject Judge
Anderson to impeachment and, there
fore, he did not deem it improper for the
committee, upon the written statement of
Judge Anderson that he would immedi-
ately resign, to suspend the further in
vestigation Of the case. He said that
Judge Anderson would forthwith present
his resignation to the Governor, and in
it would state the causes of his resigna-
ton. The resignation was to take effect
so soon as the Governor would appoint
Judge Alderson's successor.
Thereupon the committee suspended
the Investigation, the witnesses were dis
charged, and the matter happily ended.

A Nashville correspondent says that
DIR. Willis Il. Revels, pastor of the At
rican Methodist Episcopal church in that
city, is full brother of Hiram Revels.
and that he "boasts the blood of Poca-
hontas in his veins, and is only one shade
darker than Horace Maynard grand
father having been full-blooded Choc-
taw, his father mulatto and his mother
genuine unadulterated negro" If the
Revels' with this genealogy are not the
perfection of human nature. there is no
truth in the miscegenation theory of the
gentle Anna Dickinson.
