The Detroit Free Press hits the
nail on the head when it says this
is a good year for Investigations.
The present session of Congress
seem 70 be first-class one for in
vestigations, eclipsing in this re-
spect the last session Of the Forty
second Congress. The Ways and
Means Committee of the House has

Storey cases-all being Of charges
against the United States judges
and has not yet made a report in
any case. The management of af-
fairs in the District of Columbia is
now engaging the attention Of a

Justice are being looked into by
the committee on expenditures in
the department, rs are alsC the ex-
penses in the western district of
Arkansas. The alleged frauds in
the Indian service have been called
to the attention of the Committee
on Indian Affairs. The House
Banking and Currency Committee
has just made report on the fail
ure Of the First National Bank of
Washington, and has yet TO report
upon the condition of the Freed
mems Savings Bank and the failure
Of the Ocean National Bank. a
military court Of inquiry is sitting
upon the case of General Howard.
1t is probably that the HURT case
will furnish the basis for a Con-

man knoweth how many more in
quiries involving Investigations by

adjournment of Congress.

The Future.

The result Of the recent political
contests in the various parts of the
country indicates in unmistakable
language that if the Democracy is
true to itself, victory will reward
its faithfrlness in 1876. II adopt
ing the Cincinnati platform and
committing itself to aliberal inter-
probation of national politics it
shook off the dead weights which
had hampered its success. From
the position it has taken there can
be no retrograde. The age is one
Of progress, and revolutions do not
go backward. The faith brought
into existence during the last few
years was not Immediately a vim.
ing one, but it was none the less
nob,e, and its final triumph is
inevitable. The political struggle
of 1876, will be a hand to hand
conflict of Reform with corruption,
and then as now the latter element
will be found on the Republican
side.
Profting by the defeats Of the
past the Democracy fully realize
that to be successful it must lead in
the age of progress, not tamely
follow after. The reverses it has
sustained have tended to purify it,
and the corruptible element which
once preyed upon its vitals has
long since gone over to the enemy
and is now quietly working in their
pay. That which is left represents
the intelligence and honesty of the
party, ami it will form a powerful
nucleus around which to concen-
trate every convert to the cause OF
reform that may be gathered in
from the corrupt ranks of the adj
ministration party.
The future of the Democratic
party Tor whatever name ina!

ism in 1870, depends upon III
sincerity with which it espouses tn
cause of political reform. That j
: will do this and in waging an IN
relenting war against corruption

victory, is foregone conclusion

Thurman's Reply to Ferry.

The Washington correspondent
Of the World says:
Mr.. Thurman closed Tuesdays
debate in a speech of remarkable
vigor on the question In general
and on Mr.. Ferry, of Michigan, in
particular, who had undertaken to
misconstrue Mr.. Thurman's alb
sence from the Senate on the
recent vote on bank note expansion.
Mr.Thurman left no doubtful inter-
probation of his position or his
absence. He had learned, he said.
TOO much in the old Democratic
schools TO embark on a career OF
irredeemable paper money, which
meant that there would be no re-
sumption. He was in favor OF
speedy specie resumption, though,
not by any forced system, ano
failed to see the wisdom OF that
system of currency which was
claimed 10 be elastic and stable a'
the same time. The free banking
scheme which was urged met will
his earnest condemnation. Free
banking he declared, meant per-
petuation of the national debt as
long az the country lasted, and
perpetuation of that debt meant
= continuance of taxes and high
protective tariff with opposition &c
free trade. Mr.. Thurman explain'
ed his absence from the Senate or
the recent bank note vote as caused

gaa seoafer could easily have
