COMMITTEES OF INVESTIGATION.

The bawd or go between who pays {
the venal legislator consideration TO
giving or Withholding his vote upon (
matter Of private interest is a moderl
creation. He belongs to species Of yer
min evolved from the legislative corrup
ton of the period: The success of thu
lobbyist in sui jecting the more respectable
members of the Legislature TO respon
sibility for the fraud of weak brethren
has given rise to the anomaly Of commit
tees in recess to hunt after lost money
to censure their political antagonists Of
whitewash their political friends.
IN New York one legislative committee
had been appointed to investigate the
canal ring robberies. Nothing very def
mite was effected because the ring was
composed OF politicians of both parties
who had used a part of their thefts fol-
the success of their respective parties, and
so atoned for or compounded their offenses.
A wholesale theft Of lot Of canal con-
tracts rendered necessary q femeasure-
ment Of so much canal work as TO post
pone the investigation almo st indefinitely.
There has been anothes legislative CON-
mittee appointed to inquire into certain
alleged frauds committed in regard to
the admission OF immigrants into the
port Of New York. A lobbyist named
Nolan seems TO have received from the
stea mship companies something like
twenty thousand dollars for services rem
dered in securing reduction Of immigrant
head money from two dollars and fifty
cents to one dollar aud fifty cents. Be-
sides this the Hon. Abram Wakeman re-
ceived large counsel fee for drawing the
proper papers and arguing the application
before the proper authorities. The lob.
byist, Nolan, seems 70 have been an OBJ
scufe attorney, and the payment Of such
a sum to such an agent intimates his
services to have consisted in acting as 60.
between for the steamships and members
Of the Legislature. It is very well known
that these lobbyists are generally men Of
such desperate character that they will
charge their principal with money they
bave been paid over, and claim in the
most impudent manner the votes OF men,
bers east on principle as having been
gained by the influence or money Of the
lobbyist. The lobbyist money had
nothing more to do with the passage or
defeat than q soothsaye. with a general
rain.
That those who employ such miscreants
should lose their money is well enough,
but it is not right that respectable MEM
bers Of the Legislature should lose caste
and character by the crimes Of few
venal associates and the fslsehood OF the
lobbyists.

McParis recently became infused with
sanitary theory; he had read Of the sun
baths of Dio Lewis, and concluded nothing
upon which the sun shone could contain
germs sof malaria. He had feather bed
which had been handed down by bis grand

fireman when his house was on fire. 1t oc-
Cured to McParis to let the warm Gun in on
bis feathers, and he personally superin-

Jaw the feathers carefully spread on the
back gallery. While enjoying an after
noon nap the wind rose suddenly, and there
came such shower - has seldom been

in all directions like the "beautiful snow

him again. That night poorer ana Wiser

equal that which the same currency had
reached under the Confederacy, under the
exclusive control of the hard money and
better currency Democrats. In fact, the
depreciation OF all war currency, from
1776 20 the present, has been but pre-.
MUM which people are willing TO pay
upon the insurance Of success. Was Mr..
William Allen opposed to paying his pre-
MUM? Had the doctrines of Democracy
been sound or sincere, they would have
opposed the employment OF government
credit even in the preservation Of national
existence. They would have paid out the
last picayune for the last cartridge and
stopped fighting rather than maintain
liberty on credit The demands Of pro-
gress and the exigencies of war showed
the Democracy that the principle was
futile. They therefore yielded it, and
have taken greenbacks with an avidity
entirely unchecked by any conscientious
convictions. But until the Democratic
party shall have formally tecanted the
financial principles of its creed it is guilty
Of dereliction of doctrine. 1t obtains
votes on false pretenses when it advocates
any other than q currency instantly re-
deemable in specie. As the Republican
party has never given any such pledge, it
has discretion as to the relations be-
tween currency and the precious metals
which involve no Inconsistency Of princi-
pie whatever. While the Ohio Democ-
racy are therefore held to their avowed

CURE FOR DISCONTENT.

APhiladelphia gentleman became tired
Of his house, which he had built for him
self in the country, and determined to
sell it. He instructed an auctioneer,
famous for his descriptive powers, to ad-
vertise it in the papers for private sale,
but to conceal the location, telling per-
sons to apply at his Office. In few
days the gentleman happened to zee the
advertisement, was pleased with the ac-
count of the place, showed it to his wife,
and the two concluded it was just what
they wanted, and they would secure it at
once. So he went to the Office of the
auctioneer and told him the place he had
advertised was such one as he desired,
and he would purchase it. The auc-
tioneer burst into a laugh, and told him
that that was the description of his own
house where he was living. He read the
advertisement again. pondered over the
