THE Mount Carmel Register, in giving
Hon. John VI. Crebs Il shove-ahead for
congress in the Nineteenth district. says
that the colonel ran several hundred votes
ahead of hi, ticket in the old Thirteenth
when he was candidate against Hon.
ID. W. Mum. The truth il, Mr. Mum
ran several hundred votes behind his
ticket. Even at that time the people sus-
pected Mr.. Mum of the week.-mrs., that
lately bloomed into crooked whisky in
dictments. The fact that his opponent
ran behind made Col. Crcbs seem To run
ahead. But il is a tact, that Col. Crebs
is fast runner before the Deope-faster
however, when he runs for congress, than
when he runs for the bench.

4 SUGGESTION.

4 resolution has been adopted by con-
grcss requesting the people OF each county
and city to appoint some person to write
history of the county or city-a full and
complete history; this history to be read
at mass meeting of the people of the
county or city on the Fourth of July
next, and then to be forwarded. either in
manuscript or in printed form, TO be pre-
served among the archives of the nation.
II the people do not neglect TO respond TO
the request OF congress. much valuable
information, tor the use of the future his
torian of the republic, will be supplied.
The history of every county, every city
and every town in the United States will
be filed at Washington: and facts known
now, which win have passed away from
human recollection in few years, will
be thus put into written language and
will endure. We hope the people OF
Alexander county and Cairo will not neg
lect to comply with the request Of con-
grcss in this matter. and wenow suggest
that the preliminary steps OF compliance
with il be taken. The county commits.
siOners and the city council should unit,
in requesting Mr.. NJ. b. lIarrell to write
the history of the county and city. \
better person than he could not be nam
ed. He has already much valuable ma
terial at his hand, and could, without
much trouble. obtain all that he lacks.

WE regret to learn that the Qu :cy
Herald is defender of the Sherman re-
sumption bill, and endorses the vote OF
Col. Morrison and Mr.. Wike against the
repeal. The HerdId will find itself almost
alone in lis advocacy of the act. Every
Democratic convention that has met
lately. with the exception of the Rhode
Island convention, has denounced this
iniquitous measure, and all the Demo-
cratic members of congress, with few
exceptions, also denouncc it. The pco'
pie will compel its repeal and crush the
public men who stand in its defense.

A>iiINGroN. March 23.-Attorncy-
General Picrrepont was before the Judi
ciary committee to-day, in regard to en-
cCutlve interference with late crooked
whiskey trials in the West. Pierrcpont's
account of his circular letter TO the Dis
trict Attorneys IL that the president was
very much disturbed at the constant re-
ceipt of newspaper slips and letters and
personal statements, giving information
OF attempts on the part Of Government
officials in the West to compromise fraud
on the revenue, and that the president
spoke To him on five or six different oc-
caslons. expressing ms fear that such
things If allowed would bring.
SCANDAL oN THE ADMINISTRATION.
Pierrepont himself was rather inclined
to treat these statements rs cNapycra-
| tons and did not believe that District
Attorneys or special counsel of the gov
crnucnt would be guilty OF anything i'm
proper in the matter. He had, hereto
fore. rather warlcd oil the Presidents
advances until finally the President
suggested that the General had
better write to the District Attorneys on
the subject, Plcrrcpont had therefore
prepared and forwarded letters couched.
as he said, in
TERMS THAT WERE RATHER TAME.
Nobody had made or suggested a
draught of this letter and he had not sub
mttcd it TO the president. In fact the presi-
dent knew nothing of it for three or four
days afterwards, when he asked Pierre
pont whether hc had taken any action in
the matter, and then he had told him he
had written this letter and sent him a
copy OFF \ couple of days afterwards

published in the Chicago papers on the

The committee wanted to know why
Babcock did not call for a court OF n-
curry to ascertain when he had been
guilty OF conduct unbecOming an officer
and gentleman, and whether ne was still
commissioner of public building and

to give information on those points.
