HOW NOT TO INVESTIGATE.

While the House OF Representatives be-
trays singular inability to follow up the
positive indications of rascality in the Ex-
ecutive Departments furnished by the
Marsh case and other notorious scandals,
It is n6glecting the work OF Legislation.
and covering itself with discredit by
course of smelling excursions among Gov
eminent offices where there is no real
cause for suspicion. The duty of IN
yestigation,n in the Judgment of a great
many of the jealous but inexperienced
gentlemen whom a political accident has
gathered in the National Capitol, obliges
them to make domicliary visit to every
Republican official who has fair reputa-
ton, in the hope of finding something
dirty concealed about his premises. They
search the bed-chambers, they pry open
the pantry door, they examine the kitch-
en-, they call up the servants. Nothing is
sacred from their inquisition; and one
cannot help thinking that they must be
very sorry when they fail to disgrace the
country by proving an esteemed gentle
man to be sanctimonious thief.
Take the operations of the House Com
mittee on Post Offices and Posl-Roads for
instance. That Committee has allowed
the public business to fall into arrear
while it has ransacked Washington in
search Of something against the Postmas-
ter-General. Now it is very well known
that Gov. Jewell has been one of the
NEST circumspect and conscientious de-
partment officers Washington has known
for many years. He has been particular
ly careful to avoid the scandalous misuse
of public property for private purposes
which has been so common under this Adj
ministration. He travels at his own ex-
pense, even on the business OF his office,
and his family would as soon think of 90
ing to heaven on fiery chariot as of tax
ing ride in department landaulet.
Yet the Committee have been questioning

body connected with the department on
the chancc--we will not be uncharitable
enough to say in the hope that if they
dig deep enough they may find something
rotten after all.
This is mere petty partisanship; it is
not reform; and it not only embarrasses
the Government and gives needless pain
to deserving officers, but it is certain in
the long run to cover the democratic
House with discredit. Any school boy
can see that the sole object of such grub
bing is to find mud to throw at political
opponent; not to purify the Civil Service,
but to dirty the Administration. There is
work enough for the House, a great deal
more indeed than it seems to be capable
of accomplishing, in following up the
tracks of thieves. For the credit of the
country it should remember that even
Cabinet officer is entitled to the presump-
ton of innocence till some reason has been
shown to suspect him of being a rogue.

wSINGCLAR.

That just as the Democratic party is near com
plete victory, some man must say or do something
to kick the party over. Benjamin ii. Hill of Geor-
gia, was one of these men. His speech in Con-
gress did the Democratic party great injury here
and now that the election is over, we can talk
without doing harm. A man who will go out Of
his way to injure his friends is entitled to con-
siderstion whatever. Hill has no position in
Georgia outside of his district, is not Democrat
in good standing there. He did not fight and
does not speak the sentiments of the people of the
State yet his foolish utteranccs lost votes. II
is of no use in New Hampshire to put forth can
didstes, or to put men on the stump, whose own
records are not sound, or who SAID severe things
during the rebellion"
The Patriot may scold as much as ii
pleases about Ben Hill, and say he has no
influence in the South, but he and men OF
his stripe not only control in their districts
but lead the national democratic party
No democrat has dared arise in Congress
to disavow Hills rebel utterances, ant
none will.

That's what the best informed demo-
Gratis say in relation to their defeat in New
Hampshire. That speech in which he so
incautiously gave expression to the still
rebellious sentiment of the South was too

AN OVATION AT THE LINDELL BoTEI,-TBE GENE.
RAJ FEELING one OF PLEASURE AT THE Ac.
QUnTAL.
ST. LOUIs. Feb. 2i.--Gen. Babc0ck has received
what can almost be called an ovation since bis ac
au:ttal His rooms at the Iindell Hotel were crowded
with callers for several hours after his discharge
by the Court, some Of the most prominent
citizens being among those who called and
offered their congratulations on the result Of the
trial. Among those present were Gen. Sherman,
Gen. Harvey, Judge Treat, Col. Hatch Of McRee's
counsel, Postmaster Filley, number Of ex-Fede,al
officers the jury and most Of the army officers here
About o'clock tonight the officers at the Arsenal
accompanied by the Arsenal band called at the hall
and gave the General a serenade
Cen Babcock being loudly called for responded
in about the following words: Gentlemen of st.
Louis thank you for all your expressions Of kind
ness toward me. My heart is too full for To make
81 eech TO you tonight, if could do 20 under
other circumstances l must thank you all most
deeply
Col. Hatch made brief speech in response, In
which he congratulated Gen. Babcock on the result
of the trial He said the verdict was another evil
dence of the closing of the gap between the North
and South and the restoration of peace and fratemal
feelings, and called on the band to play Dixie,n
which was done.
He then introduced Mr.. StOrrs, who made q few
remarks to the effect that they had never believed
Gen. Babcock could not have q fair, impartial trial
in Missouri they had never encouraged the idea
that the so-called Rebel influence wonld operate
against him here In fact, some Of the most friendly
and sympathetic letters received by Gen. Babcoek
since his indictment have come from the Sonth and
from ex- Confederates. They always believed they
mad strong case The result has proved that their
opinion right.
Judge Chester II. Krum was then then called out
and after stating that he was proud to say Mis-
souri, jury could try IN important case and give q
Just verdict he referred in few words to the great
value of pure personal character and unbemsLed
integrity II was better he said than anything else
a man could possess in this world, and would serve
him above all things in time Of trouble.
About / o'clock Chas. II. Tandy, somewhat noted
as a colored politician at the head of some 80 or 40
colored citizens called and paid their respects Ia
the General and congratulated him upon his sc'
quttal.
There is strong and apparently sincere and kindly
feeling towards Gen. Babcock among nearly all
classes of citizens, irrespective of political sent-
ment and nearly every expresses pleasure at the
aconttal.
