THE Democratic charge now made against
General GRANT that during his public ca
reer his guiding motto was mo Irish Need
Apply" does not exactly dovetail with the
facts. During the war Phil SHERIDAN
was his layoritc among his subordinate gem
erals, and in his civil career these same
lault-iinders were wont to declare, with
some show Of truth, that Tom MURPHY was
his "buzzim fTind." Again, he probably
has no more ardent admircr in public life
than Senator SPENCER, who is pronounced
Roman Catholic.

That puts an end for the present to all
wrangling between Oswcgo and Buffalo,

THE new State-IIOuse at Albany, which
has cost some $12,00O,OOO, more or less,
though comely and grand edifice, appears
to be little unfortunate in some of its
characteristics, The Assembly chamber is
so constructed, in violation Of the laws Of
acoustics, thatit is sort of Babel of con.
fusion when the statesmen spread them
selves upon the plane of eloquence and
argument. Its echoes represent half q
dozen speakers when one makes an effort.

attracted the attention Of the House. II was his
object 10 show that the southern colored people
had made very important advances In education
since the war. and he asserted and demonstrated. If
his statistics Trustworthy that in the States Of
Mississippi. Louisiana. Alabama and South Carolina
at this time there illiterate whites in pro-
portion to the white population than there are
illiterae blacks in proportion to the colored popu
aton. II he is correct he has shown that the
negroes have made persistent effort after education
since they became free. His statement wonld prove
also of course that what has been and often asserted
IN political campaigns about the hostility OF the
Southern whites to the education OF the blacks is false
as it undoubtedly is In South Carolina. for instance
the attendance at colored schools has considerably
increased since the democrats took possession OF the
State and in Georgia. which has had democratic rulers
for number of years. the colored schools have been
carefully and intellgently fostered If the next Gen.
should officially prove that the Southern negroes
have smaller proportion of illiterate persons than
their white neighbors. 1t would certainly be very
remarkable and an important fact.

WASHINGTON Jan. %, 1879.
THE DAVENPORT INVESTIGATION TO BEGIN.
The subcommittee of the House Judiciary Com
mttee, appointed to investigate the Davenport mat
ter, will leave Washington for New York saturday
noon and begin the investigation on Monday morn
ing next. The committee has been provided with
quarters at the Fifth Avenue Hotel and the examine
ton of witnesses will probably take place there. The
members of the committee Messrs. Lynde, Of
Wisconsin,; Forney, of Alabama, and Frye. of Maine
the last named the republican member of the CON-
mttee. No programme has as yet been adopted,
that matter being left action when the committee
reaches New York.
THE CUSTER MAssACRE-A CONTEMPLATED INvEs-
TIGATIoN PREVENTED BY THE PRESS OF BUsI-
NESS.
The resolution offered by Delegate Corlett at the
last session. instructing the House Military Commit
tee to investigate the Custer massacre and which
referred to that committee, will be favorably re-
ported when the Military Committee is called.
The short time. however which remains of the
session will prevent the committee from making the
investigation, which it was intended should be
more general in its scope than that now going on
before the Reno court of inquiry at Chicago. The
resolution ready to be reported ut the last
sion, but no opportunity was offered on account Of
the press Of business at its close.
