Recommendations ago we said
that when the epitaph Of the Republican

be-''Died Of Investigation" Inyestiga-
ton began under the administration Of
Andrew johnson, and was inaugnrated by
the Radical majority in Congress. 1t was
designed, in its incipieney, not so much to
expose abuses, as to bring that public func-
tionary to grief. The impeachment failed,
but the work Of investigation went on
with damaging results, and has been 60
ing on ever since, by sort Of fatality the
rationale Of which is hardly susceptible Of
explanation. One committee Of investiga.
tion after another has been raised in Con-
gress, and although the most palpable at
tempts at whitewashing have from time to
time been made, the truth viii out, and
the crushing revelations thus given to the
country have withered the regulations Of
the parties involved, and spread disgust
on every hand, the natural result Of the
gross corruption which has been exposed,
and which has SO shocked the moral SEN
sibilities Of the people The indications
point to a speedy demise of Radicalism,
and the diagnosis Of its malady will be-
