in the directncss and circumstan
TALLY of the story told by Harvey
relative to his having paid Speaker
Kerr $3.50 during the johnson Ad
ministration to secure the appoint
ment of man named Green, Of New
York, to the army. Mr.. Kerr has al
ways enjoyed the reputation of an
honest man, and his election as
Speaker has been regarded as the
fairest thing which the Democrats in
Congress have done. If he be sue
| cesstully impeached as Congress
sional bribe=taker and office-broker,
his downfall will be as much of ma
tional disgrace rs was that of Bel
KNAPP. We have no desire to make
party capital out of this affair. We
sincerely hope that Speake Kerr may
be able to vindicate himself; but the
conviction is almost forced upon us
that he took the money. The story
which Harvey tells is too explicit and
straight forward to pass for an inven-
ton, and there is an absence of all
reason or motive for inventing it. He
says that Green paid him (Harney)
$40 first, that he (HarneyJ added
$40 to this, that he handed the $3.50
to Kerr, who put it in his pocket, and
that Green, after he got his appoint
ment, and had gone home, RENTED
Harvey the $40 he had added. Mr..
Kerr's friends clam that Harvey,
having represented to Green that he
had paid the money to Kerr, now
swears it through to protect himself.
AS against this, it will be regarded
as strange that Kerr should have gone
outside his own district and State to
make this army appointment after his
first appointment had failed. Ycster
day Harvey gave his evidence in the
presence Of Kerr, and never wavered,
| though subjected to searching cross
examination. Harvey, it appears, is
not y voluntary witness, but has been
reluctantly compelled to tell the story.
and, unless Mr.. Kerr can find some
means to demonstrate that lie re
ceivcd no money at that time, and
that Harvey is unworthy of credit
we do not see how Congress can de
Gently avoid the duty of expelline
their Speaker,-a national disgrace
without precedent. - Chicago Irib

just been exhibited in Paris. II is an
eight day clock, which chimes the quar-
tiers, plays three tunes every twelve hours,
or at any intervals required. The hands
go round as follows: One once minute {;
one once an hour; one once a week; one
once month; one once ayear. 1t shows
the moons age, the. rising and setting of
the sun, the time of high and low water,
half cbb, and half flood; and there is Il
courteous continuance to represent the
water, which rises and falls, lifting some
ships at high water tide as if they We're
in motion, and, as 10 recedes, leaving them
dry on the sands, The clock shows the
hour of the day, the day of the week, the
day of the month, the month of the year
and in the day OF the month provisions is
made for the long and the short months.
