examination of persons proved to have received
money from Irwin by tie disclosures made, yes-
terday.

of twelve thousand dollars for advocating the
passage of the subsidy to members and others
in the Senate.
Dom Piatt also acknowledged the receiving Of
five thousand dollars from Irwin, but it was
loan and afterwards repaid. 1t had nothing to
do with the subsidy. which he had invariably op-
posed The witness declined to say who had re-
paid the loan for him, as it had nothing to do
with the subsidy.
The committee reserved the consideration OF
the question whether an answer to this question

Advertisements and News.

A contemporary speculates upon the posi-
bility of future newspaper that will depend
upon its circulation for its business. 1t
describes an Irish journal which is circulated
gratis and depends upon its advertisements
for its revenue. journalism, like every other
profession, is in a state OF progress. There
is no knowing what enterprise and public
taste may accomplish IN the future. There
have been all kinds of experiments with news
papers, but the highest type OF journalism is
based upon the fact that the reader desires
the news as well as the advertisements. In
truth, there is no difference between these
two classes. The advertisements Of repre-
sentative newspaper are as much news as the
telegraphic columns Take the marriages
and Deaths" for instance. We question if
one-half the readers of the HERALD would
not rather see the cable dispatches
omitted than the marriages and deaths"
Take the dry goods and publications, also, that
enter into SO large a part of our daily life.
Their omission from the HERALD would make
deeper impression upon the general public
than to leave out Senate debate on Louisi-
ana And so we might go through all the de-
partments of advertising They represent the
wants of the people, and the people are as
much interested in the wishes and desires OF
their neighbors as in the great facts that occur
from day to day in the outside world A
paper publishing advertisements without the
news, or publishing news without advertise
ments is like man travelling on one leg.
1t is imperfect 1t does not satisfy the people
and is far from representing the true type OF
journalism.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1875-01-13

If President Grant reads the newspapers
which, we believe, is an open question-he
must look with dismay upon the announce
ment that Andrew Johnson has no real oppo-
sition as candidate for the Senatorship IN
Tennessee and that the ex-President will
probably be elected. There is no man we
would rather see in the Senate than Andrew
johnson. In the first place, Andy is one Of
the most remarkable men in the country, of
great force of character, courage, knowledge
of affairs, and by his intellectual position
alone entitled to sit in the Senate. In the
second place, there would be poetic beauty
in his return to the body which came within
one vote OF impeaching him. In the third
place, he has qualities which endear him to
the people. He can fight, he can speak for a
week without stopping, believes in the consti-
tuition, is not afraid of the republicans and
has lively ideas on finance. He will give the
debates in the Senate an interest they have
long wanted We trust he will be returned to
that body; and when it is announced that
Andy Johnson is about to speak on the consti-
tuition or the administration there will be such
a gallery Of spectators to hear him as has
never been seen in the history of the Senate.

A statement OF Facts.

The Statement OF Facts" by the members
of what is called the Kellogg Legislature pre-
sents one point very clearly. 1t sets forth
that the memorial OF "the republican men,
bers" presented to the Governor, asking him
to break up the House of Representatives
then in session and to place the hall in pos
session OF the memorialists, was signed by
fiity-two illegally elected and returned men,
bers," or less than a quorum OF the House.
Being less than quorum these persons could
not have any right to speak for the House of
Representatives. of the State. The estate
ment of Facts" then proceeds TO show that in
response to the request of the Governor the
United States troops proceeded to the hall of
the House of Representatives, expelled some
of the members by force and by force drove
the Speaker and Clerk from their places, and
then adds, 'the democratic members, with
Mr.. Wilt at their head, them withdrew, and
the House proceeded to organize according to
law"

going to do about it2'' There is provision
in the constitution which may be held to
cover the case of President Grant if public
patience is tried too far. He is now obliged
to answer the public by a special message Of
apology and explanation. We learn from
Washington that this message will be given
to Congress to-day, having been discussed
and agreed to by the Cabinet. In the alb
sence of full and exact information we are in
duty bound to give the President and his
Cabinet the benefit Of the doubt, and to as
sumo that there is something to say, with
which we are at present unacquainted, which
may appease, even if it does not satisfy, the
people In the language of Mr.. Evarts, Gin
any of the circumstances proposed by anybody
as prevailing in Louisiana, we cannot imagine
any excuse for supporting the acts of the Presi-
dent We hope that there are at least three
men in the Cabinet with sufficient honor, self
respect and regard for public opinion to re-
fuse to gloss over the Executive usurpation in
Louisiana because of any story of lawlessness
on the part of her citizens or any pretence OF
illegal action by the Legislature. We cannot
imagine Mr.. Fish assisting to condone
wrong, and cannot credit the rumor that Secre-
taries Bristow and Jewell are willing to join
in any official defence of o plainly unconstitu-
tional act

A Partial Lifting OF the Veil.

Under the gentle and salutary pressure of
resolution of the House of Representatives the
lips Of one conscientious counsel of Pacific
Mail have been unsealed, and, like the lips of
the young maiden which dropped out pearls
and diamonds and rubies when touched by
fairy fingers, they have scattered about
precious gems in the shape of Developments.
The hesitating, but yielding Albert has told
us the names of the recipients of about nine
ty-fve thousand dollars of the substituting
subsidy funds, and the list of benefcaries sup
piled by him is exceedingly interesting. even
if it does indicate woetul waste Of the
company's money. But the glimpse thus
afforded us of the characters behind the
scenes only operates like Oliver Twists plate
of soup, and makes US clamor tor more. Let
us have now q full, true and particu-
lar account of the sums received by
other representatives Of the press, officers of
the House and operators" in the lobby.
There must certainly be richer and more in
teresting list than that supplied by the benevo-
lent Albert Let US also know the dummies
represented by the nominal receivers of the
money. as the bluff and honest Forney was
represented by the unassuming Joseph.
The question is, Who benefited by the seven
hundred and fifty thousand dollars or there
abouts that is understood to have been placed
where it would do the most good2 At present
we are simply beating about the bush and
soaring up few. hares while the real game
lies low and stands chance of escape.
Come, gentlemen of the committee, you can
make others than Albert speak if you will
Why trife with the matter if you are really
anxious to get at the bottom Of the corrup-
ton?
