The party of reform. In the National
House of Representatives has begun to feel
sick at the stomach and to experience the
necessity of heroic dose which shall purge
its system of some very distressing impure
ties. There are no less than six of the
Democratic officers of the House now under
a cloud. Smith the Journal Clerk, is to
be oYerhauld forthwith on account of his
bounty claim business, and his assistant is
in trembling expectancy of dismissal by
reason of the fact that he was tried by Gen.
joe Hooker, found guilty, andserved out
a sentence for having encouraged and abet-
ted desertious from the army. A doorkeep-
er was on Tuesday retired from service for
bad behavior, and another officer, said to
have been indicted more than once for grave
offenses, is to be brought up shortly. Then
there is Boughton, Clerk of the Military
Committee, and Green Adams, Clerk Of the
House, both under investigation by differ
ent Committees. How many others there
are who ought to be investigated no one can
tell, but the showing up to date is very
fair for the cencors of official morality

THE DEATH OF A GREAT MERCHANT

THE DEATH OF A GREAT MERCHANT.
The Deathrof A. 7. Stewart, the
worlds greatest merchant, is the event
of the week and the one topic OF
conversation. Almost fifty years ago
young Scotch-Irishrnan came to New
York to seek employment as a teacher. Not
succeeding, he determined to give up the
profession for which he had been fitted and
embark in trade. He had just about money
enough to fill basket, and for. q few weeks
he peddled his goods from door to door.
Then he opened little store down town,
and began career which is almost roman
tic. He had theory as to how business
should be done, and from the very first he
adhered to it with fidelity that was won
derful. He bought always for cash, and
he sold in the same way. To everything
he bought he added proper per cent, and
the goods we're sold at that price, or they
lay on his counters for so many months,
after which time they were marked down
to point where they would sell. There
never was particle of trickery or fraud in
his establishment The goods were care
fully bought, and sold at "a fair profit, and
the most ignorant person could buy to Just
as good advantage as the most expert If
woman in the country wanted a dress. all
she had to do was to write the color. mater
ial and cost, andsher husband could get it
Just as well as she. He was a mercantile
genius. II a pattern of calico pleased him.
he bought, not only all that the manufac-
turer had, but he bound himself to take all
that could be made of it, so that he alone
had it. Possessed of enormous capital, he
could take advantage Of the markets, and,
buying always for cash, he could outbuy
all of his competitors.
There is no other such establishment as
his in the world. His downtown store is
devoted entirely to wholesaling, and his
uptown to retailing. In the two he gave
employment to over two thousand people,
and in addition he had various factories, in
which he employed four thousand more.
de dealt in everything-dry goods, carpets.
fancy goods, brushes, perfumery; all under
one roof, and this spring he intended to
add boots and shoes. In that wonderful
concern a Lady could buy dress ready
made. The alterations, if any were need
ed, being made in the house in a few min
utes, and, without going out, she could
buv her ehildren's outft or fu,n;sL L.
house throughout. And everything in the
concern went as smoothly as clock-work.
The army Of clerks were ct their posts pre-
cisely at seven, and II one was late, be was
charged with the lost time. Each stood at
his own counter and sold only one kind Of
goods. An army Of boys carried the pur-
chases and. the money to small army Of
cashiers, who had the parcels made and
made The change, and then if desired the
goods we're sent hSme. II was nOt. IA uh..

The Father Of waters has reached q stage
higher than at any. time since 1857, and
the cry Of damage and devastation comes
up from various points along its line. Be
sides the break of the leYee and overflow,
heretofore spoken Of, in Mississippi, Just
above Quincy, III, it rolls with majestic
power and awe-inspiring grandeur width
of twenty miles. Besides this, all the ef-
forts Of nearly all the citizens Of Hannibal,
Mo. to avert an overflow, the levee gave
way on Monday last and a volume Of water
800 feet wide and several feet deep is now
inundating over 100, 900 acres of cultivated
land, and the poor farmers of the vicinity
are represented as fleeing to the bluffs for
their lives. The steamer Dictator in at
tempting to pass the draw Of the bridge at
this place, was wrecked and sunk with a
loss Of ten lives, and heavy damage to the
bridge. The destruction of property, es-
pecially that of railway companies, is esti-
mated at high figure.

President Grant is said to be somewhat

The impeachment mill grinds slowly.
with prospect that it viii also grind ex-
peeding small 50 far as practical results are
concerned. The Senate assembled with
becoming solemnity Monday, and the plea
entered in behalf Of Beiknap by his counsel
was denial Of the jurisdiction Of the Sem
ste. Although this programme had been
definitely understood for several days past,
the House managers were taken by surprise,
and asked for two days in which to consid-
er their replication. This granted, the
Court adjourned, and the first day Of the
Pompous farce was ended.
The Death Of OREsrEs A. BRowxsoN at
Detroit on Monday last, is announced. He

. work that commanded some attention for
its versatility and varied ability. He boxed
the compass Of religious ereeds, having been
preacher successfully in the Presbyterian,
Universahst, and Unitarian denominations,
then became an aYowed infdel, and later a
convert to the Roman Catholic faith. His
writings, numerous and able, followed the
varying bents Of his religious belief, and
his death at the age Of 70 years closed 3
busy life.
A contested election case was decided on
Tuesday by the Housein favor Of coIored
Republican and against a white Democrat.
The case was perfectly clear, as it must
have been to secure unanimous vote Of
the Committee and q concurrent vote in
The House in favor Of sesting HARRISON, Of
Alsbeus, snd rejecting The claim d his
caucasian competitor The lsttsr had no
shadow Of night to the seat, and his only
showing Of right was obtained by the per-
jury Of his witnesses, who curiously enough,
were Republicans, bought With Democratic
