perior reformcr, this eminent, Democrat,
tlfs good and honorable man, who had so
keen scent for rascality, as was said, and
who acted upon the hypothesis thnt all
Republicans wcro rogues, and hence lie was
most appropriately employed in this work
under the old maxm-"sct a rogue to catch
rogue"
Pending his active labors as a reform in
rcstigator, VANCE WIS guilty of some of the
most shameless acts. He induced men to
bear false witness against their neighbor !;
he mutilated books and papers connected
with the investigation he had in charge; he
Joined in false and calumnious report to
the House of Representatives, and backed 1t
with speech to his peers as full Of false
hood as his heart was of dishonesty and
wrong purpose. lie vented his malice in
impotence, for his peers could not conde-
scond to partisaniss his hypocrisy, much as
they sighed for Republican victim for
Democratic sacrifice. The House Of Repre-
sentatives, though strongly Democratic,
took no stock in VANCE rs an inyes-
tigator' and reformer, for he revealed
himself too clearly to command the
respect of his own party, though
they were famishing for Republican
victims. Mr.. VANCE went home from the
iirst session of his Congressional term, but
he had no scalp to decorate his belt and
proclaim his prowess as reformer, or in
spire the respect and confidence Of his
party. His works followed him, and his
own rascalities became a stencil in the nos
trtls Of his constituents. He was renomi-
mated by his party for reelection, but the
people corrected their former error by relc-
eating him to private life, where he is now
engaged in new enterprises Of rather a
nomadic and somewhat mixed character
Already the friends of Mr.. VANCE have
interposed n plea Of insanity, hoping there
by to break the force of his fall If he
is insane now, he has been from the day ol
his entrance into Congress, for his life there
was continually marked by dishonesty OF
purpose and action, and a disregard for truth
and right that can be accounted for only in
one of two ways: the result of total depravity
or of insanity. Charity would take to the lat

OUR RIVER AUTHORIZATIONS.

The appropriation OF $4,000 recon-
mended by the House committee for the
dredging &c, of the channel of the Poto-
mac River in front of this city and George
town, is specimen of the miserable econ
omy that pcrmeates the Democracy of that
body. II would take half of that sum Mt
least to place the Eastern Branch channel In
proper navigable condition. There is q
knoll in that channel that has cost the
Government, from its war vessels that have
there been aground. more than twice the
entire appropriation. The detention Of
these vessels, the employment of steam-tugs,
&c, have all proved expensive, and so long
as this knoll remains will be so. But there
are other points along our river front which
need Government aid to make them ser
viceable to our commercial interests, and we
trust that when the bill comes before the
House an amendment will be substituted,
making the appropriation at least 100000.

THE HOUSE poORKEErERsHrp.

The House having purged itself of Colo
mel POLK, whose greatest offense is that he
is q thorough Democrat and has yielded to
tho Establishments of the leaders of his
party in that body, and hence has been sac
rifced in the interest of reform, it now re-
mains to be seen what the next step will be
In the premises. Ia speaking Of q transfer
of the duties to the Sergeant-at-Arms the
New York Times says: "This is lame and
impotent conclusion of the whole matter
The majority in the House have put two
men, one after another into the Doorkcep-
er's office. Now, as If in sheer despair they
turn out the latest incumbent and sit
down and wonder what they shall do next.
POLK is ont, but nobody else is in; and 1t is
aquestion whether the Office will be ahol-
ished, or whether the party will try again
to manage 1t so that there shall be no more
pegs than holes. Since Colonel Polk (who
has been more sinned against than sinning)
is fairly out Of Office, he can afford to cleanse
his stuffed bosom Of the perilous secrets
which relate to the inner management of
the House Of Democratic Representatives.
Doubtlessit II would be n diverting exposition
Of the ncapacity of the Democratic party
to administer one of the minor branches of
the public service"
