SENATOR BECK has introduced
resolution in the Senate looking to the
investigation Of Jay Hubbellsm. The
resolution calls for light on the manner
of assessments, the amount obtained,
how disbnrsed and what sum still re-.
mains in the hands of the collecting
thieves that ought to be returned TO
the robbed employees of the govert-
ment. To offset this Senator Hale
offers an amendment to 20 into q gep-
eral search to ascertain where the
Democracy got funds for campaign
purposes; but as the Democracy did
not go the pages, the scrub.women, the
clerks aud other employees of the Gov.
ernment with threats and intimidation
Mr.. Hale's amendment is feeble. In
the meantime, it appears Hubbelrs
Chief assistant has disappeared with
the books aud memoranda of the
Committee as precautionary measure
in case the investigation Is ordered.

GEN. MANNING, who contested for
reelection To Congress from Mississip-
pi against Chalmers; was offered the
certificate Of election, on account of
defective returns for the latter from
one county where the vote was cast
for " Chalmess," declines the certificate
and will rest his claims to the seat ON
the evidence which may be developed
in the contest before Congress. This
evidence promises to be Of a very poe
tive character aud is likely to i'm.
plicate the Administration in very
discreditable work, in wiliiv., Hubbell's
corruption committee also plays a
part. The course Of General Manning
in declining the certificate Is highly
commendable and contrasts fav.
Orably with that Of several Republi-
cans who have received certificates

mission are free-traders according to
the Interpretation put by the Republi.

both favor Il tariff for revenue with
incidental protection in favor of re-

lHE discussion OF pOllllchl pTopTIety
between the Philadelphia Times and
Clearfeld Republican is quite inter.
esting, and perhaps instructive, but we
doubt very much whether it is worth
the powder for the purpose intended.
If it is designed to influence Senator
Wallace, either journal might know
that the Senator is sharp enough aud
independent enough to take in the full
measure of the situation, and perform
his duty intelligently without the die
tation of an organ or the menace Of
an Independent. If Mr.. Wallace, as
a minority member Of the Senate, be-
lieves that the public interests can be
best advanced, and fair representa-
ton best attained by casting his vote
for any particular Senator for Presi-
dent of the Senate, whether he be an
Independent or a Democrat, we have
no doubt his choice will fall upon that
man without instruction from any
quarter. The creditable record made
by Mr.. Stewart and the Independents
generally in favor of reform measures
and honest legislation, entitIe them TO
very high respect, and from whom the
Democracy have every reason TO ex-
pect fair play, at least. If the Demo
cratic members believe that by the
election of Mr.. Stewart these desirable
ends can be best attained, we see no
reason why his election should not
have their concurrence. They neither
forfeit their party respect nor their
self respect by choosing the best they
can obtain in the interest of fairness
and justice. We doubt, however,
whether Mr.. Stewart, under the cir.
cumstances, Graves the prominence it
would give him and take the responsi.
bility it would bring. His faction is
largely in the minOrity-they are en-
tircly independent Of party trammels,
aud it may occur to them that they
can more efectually subserye the ends
Of their independent organization by
placing the Senate more directly in
accord with tne House and the admin.
istration, and let the responsibility OF
securing the reforms demanded aud
urged by both the Independents and
Democrats, in precise words, rest upon
the Democrats without diversion. But
however this may be, tn accomplish
the desirable reforms demanded by
the people and 80 urgently coDtended
for by both, there should be no want
Of accord between the Democratic and
Independent Senator'S on State issues.
Who is to occupy the chair, whether a
Democrat or an Independent, is a
small matter if he is in full sympathy
with the economy and reform so EN-.
phatically emphasized by the people
in the late election.
