rucrs Fees and Political Amendments.

skr,uish In the Assembly over the resolutions
of W. Weuzel congratulatiug the DcnOc ats
in Congress tnCir success In unorrthing
frauds and exposing Bclknap and urginr thon
TO perseycre in tho good work. NJ. Wcnzel
urged their adoption. lie believed ever, mem
Der would vote for them regardless OF party
predictions. but the Republicans had no no
tIon Of letting tho Democrats away wish
their political capital, and Mr.. Forster was ready
with a substitute for weuzers resolution, hud-
Ing Bclknlp's unsullied reputation before he
was caught sioiling, aud thanking Congressman
Of both parties for the exposures they had
made, and assuring them that thew were only
eohoing the key note Of reform" Let no guilty
man escape"-by their action, &c.
Then there eusued scramble between the
leaders to ace which could apply the ,rdest
epithets TO his political opponents. Mrs. Strahan
thought To improve the resolution Of Mr.. Fors-
ter by moving to add to the words "let no
guilty man escape the words or important
or unnecessary Witness" hut the laughter with
which 1t was received 10y the Democrats, and
the rucful look Of the Republicans. Clearly indi
VINO had driven Marsh out of the country, aud
frightened othccs by ordering their prosecution.

cans to rush Forstor's resolution through under
the operation Of the previous question, but by
parliamentary skirpishnR large number OF
gentlemen IN nnced to Get their say.

luiin, tho Congrc sional investigating commit
tee for letting iarsh escape. by which there WIS
danger that the prosecution against Bclknap

one Of his conndential adv r. was confessed
prepared for thundei bolt which was

stnctum snnctorum Of the White House Itself
This stone hit the Republicans squ treiv be-
