Not the least amongst the summer
pleasuring parties are Congressional
Investigating Committees that are Jun
ketting around at the various watering
places. Before Congress adjourned
most of the prominent Democrats were
provided for, on committees which would
afford them an opportunity Of visiting
the prominent seaside resorts at the ex-
pense of the government. Hendrick B.
Wright's committee appointed to inves-.
tigate the causes of the depression of
labor, which has been sitting in Chica-
go, will now have an excuse to go on to
San Francisco. The troubles resulting
in the De Young-Kalloch shooting af-
fair will open up large field of investi-
cation, and enable this redoubtable
son of toll and friend Of the working
men to make voluminous report in
time to operate in favor of the hybrid
emocratic-Greenback ticket in 1880.
Wright can work up some highly flavor
ed testimony, which will add spice and
flavor to the milder delights Of travel
and luxurious feeding at the expense of
the National taxpayers.
Senator Wallace and his committee
first went to New York to have little
chat With John I. Davenport in regard
to his wholesale bull-dozing of Demo-
Gratis, but not finding Senator Herman
ready to join the party for prudential
reasons, they slipped of to Providence
where ten days or SO were spent in
showing how scandalously the foreign
born citizens. the majority of whom
would vote the Democratic ticket, are
bull-dozed out Of their votes by the law
requiring them to possess freehold
estate worth $134 before they can
vote. This done the committee SHE'D
off to Boston to make diversion in fa-
vor of certain widow Butler who con-
templates running for Governor of Mas
sachusetts. The unhealthy state Of
politics in Mississippi deters Mr.. Wal
lace from an investigation Of the ways
and manners of the bull-dozers in that
State, and hence he gives the State
wide berth, and confines his explora-
tions after fraud to the clam shores OF
New England. The Senator however
takes good care not to throw the light
Of his bulls eye lantern under the lid
of his own coffee pot, for fear lie might
discover with what dexterity he used
to turn out coffee -colored naturalization
papers for the benefit Of raw and mex
perienced voters. Speaker Randall be
fore the adjournment Of the extra ses-
sion which had dragged slowly along
into the hot months of summer, also
provided himself With the chairman
ship of the committee on rules for gov
erning the deliberations of Congress
and he and his committee have been
junketting at Newport, the Govern.
ment paying the cigar and wine bills.
No doubt that when Congress assem-
bles again in December they will hav.
some more easy way invented to get
clear of MANNED and crippled Union
soldiers employed about the capitol
building, than by unceremonously
discharging them, and putting ex reb.l
soldiers in their places.
Senator Salisbury has been slow in
starting out with his COMMITTEES to in.
vestigate the Irregularities of Senator
Ingalls, election by the Kansas Lsgisla.
ture, and also that of Senator kellogg
from Louisiana. Several good reasons
no doubt Influenced the Senator to
make late start. He had several cli-
ents that needed some of his |
attention, and then there was
very heavy peach crop in the
vicinity of Dover in which he was per-
sonally and financially interested,
which needed marketing and his gen
eral supervision. Besides these the
Senator, no doubt, thought that it was
sacrifice enough to risk his moral repu-
tation amongst the liars of Louisiana
without running the peril of yellow fever
and therefore he has very wisely post
poned his junkettng tour until the
frosts have set in. The committee,
while investigating the wicked process
by which Senator ingalls, was elected
in Kansas, can take squint at the
condition of the colony Of southern
colored refugees settled in the. State,
and, no doubt, will be enabled to en-
tighten Congress on that vexed subject
