TaE naughty chap who edits the Cin. ,cinnati Hnguirer bag the effrontery to suggest that the next time Vice-President Colfax addresses a Sunday-school, he's going to lay his hand| on his heart and warn the dear childr¢n against the vile practice of keeping memorandum books, HENRY WiLsoN hag tendered his resignation as U. 8. Senatpr, to take effect on the 3d of next Mar¢h. He takes good care not to lose a day’s wages— his pay as Vice President commencing the dav following his retiremert|from the Senate, of which body he has heen a member over 22 years. ! , |

Joux C. FrREmoNT,| our distinguished countryman who is how under indictment in France for fraud, had his charac acter analyzed once by a California orator, who styled him, “a S atesman who never made a speech, a General who never fought a battle, a path-finder who always lost his way, and a mjllionaire not wotth a continental d—n.” |- ol Tnoske staid old fogies in Pennsylvania, don’t appear to appre¢iate Ohio “sarcasm.” That grand humbug, |the Rev. Petroleum Vi Nasby,‘ recently delivered a lecture in Lancaster, Pa. The futelligencer sets hiny down a “bore” having neither wit nor wisdom in his lecturd, nor grace and good -manners in his delivery and his personal allusions.

" Tug United States Supreme Covrt has decided that a deserter from the army, who has been caught| and made to serve out the entire term of his service, and obtained a regular discharge from the army, is, in effect, just as ggod as if he had been faithful from the first,-and is legally entitled to his bounty:. | This will be good news to those who have suffered by the decision of the Paymaster-General, which was exactly opposite.| - . MR. CoLrAx “gets|his foot in it” a trifle deeper every day.| Ie receatly testified that he had bought, in January, 1867, one share of the N. Y. Zribune stock for $6,000, and that he had afterward sold the same for $6,100. And now comes Thomas N. Rooker, secretary of the 77ibune Assocfation, with a statement that Mr. Colfax’s name does not appear on the stock baook as owner pf stock at any time. Verily, Schuyler’s veracity seems to have sunk considerably bélow par. —

ToE ebony colored gem’man is going to be-heard from onge again. It appears that at the recent municipal election in Lexington, Ky., the fwhites did not allow the darkies to have ¢verything their own way, in consequence|of which their Afri. can blood has been boiling over ever since. We are now| informed that Col. lector Robinson and eight Democratic judges of Lexington (were arrested by the United States Marshall for refusing to receive the votes of | colored men at said clection. A committee of substantial citizens of that place are now in Washington in consultation with the Government in reference to the same matter. o e Tne managers ot [that powertul corporation, the Pennsylyania Central Rail road, appear to be determined.to place themselves in possegsion of all the really important railroad lines in the country. A dispatch from Baltimore last week in forms us that “there| was a rumor on the street yesterday that the Pennsylvania Central road had Jeased the NortLern Central railroad. Dlossession is to be had on the first of July] The consideration is to be eight per cent. per annum to the Northern Central sfockholders. In con sequence of this, and the almost unlimitited powers recently granted by the Renngylvania Legislature to the Pennsylvania Central, the stock ¢f the Northern Central is rapidly going up.” !

Our radical Legjslature having kind ly fixed up a hugely democratic District. in Northern Indiana, the Fort Wayne Sentinel is led to this remtark :—*“Candidates for Congress in this District are already looming up. | A politician, last evcning, counted twenty-six aepirants, and then swore off. - Five thousand majority, and that majority| democratic, makes a nomination interesfing. Still the nominee must be a gentleman and an honorable man—a man liberal enough to pay some attention to his party when not a candidate, as well as when 7%e¢ 75, or else he will meet with deteat. The day has gone by when 2 nomination was equivalent to an election, no matter how large the majority.” : : el . Lire INsURANCE COMPANIES—which institutions, by the way, have of late evinced quite & disposition to repudiate .their just obligations—eshould make a _note of decisions of the courts from time - o time. A case was recently decided in ¢ New VYork, involving an interesting point. A widow| sued on two policies on the life of her husband, and the defense was that the| premiums had not all “been paid when |due, the time having been extended by pn agreement with the general agent of the company. The court decided that while it is not compe - tent for a general agent to revive a lapsed policy, he may make any agreement as to the terms, provided the payment be not " deferred until after the time fixed in the policy. Hence, a [verdict for the plaintiff in the sum of $17,000, w 0

Tiis is the way| the New York World analyzes the defenice of our model Vice President : — “ Co|fax is not a lawyer. But Colfax has sthdied the well-known leading case in bailment, in which the - borrower of a kettle being. sued for returning it in a cracked condition, put in the several defences: 1. That he_ never had the kettle. 2. That it was broken when he took it.| 3. That it was whole when he retorned’it. Upon this what Mr. Colfax pleases to| call his“ defence” is founded. Only in the case of Colfax the defences were not|put in simultaneously but successively and by way of rebuttal to successive imsfallments of evidence. First, Colfax last summer told his neighbors that he never had the stock ; then, the stock having been proven upon him, he never bad the money; and then, the - money having ‘proven upon-him, he 5::’1; frosn ad man and tore up the ‘ man's letter,

1s the Charge Well Founded ? We find in the Wabash Plain Dealer of the 30th ult. the following paragraph, which had until now escaped our attention : f : e The NATIONAL BANNER has heard of the corruption in the election of Senator Caldwell, and it is informed as to the attempt by Harlan ot lows, to buy himself into the Senate again. The evidence is strong that Bogy was elected and Blair defeated in Missouri by a corruption -only equalled by that of Caldwell. The Banner has not heard of this. It mentions the fact that Bogy at the time of 'his election promised “to be a representative of the people with fidelity and faith JSulness,” but it says npothing of the corruption by, which he was: put in a situation to try this tautological experiment. 'Tis strange what dif’rence there should be, 'Twixt tweedledum and tweedledee. Permitting our contemporary to enjoy the utmost renown as a guccessful critic, we beg peérmission to submit for his con. sideration the following report of the committee appointed by the Missouri Legislature to investigate the charges of bribery in the senatorial contest referred to: : After a thorough and full investigation giving the greatest latitude of inquiry, allowing all questions to be propounded that any member of the Committee should see proper,and compelling witnesses to answer the same, L :

1. Your Committee find no evidence, either directly or indirectly, to criminate Senator elect, Hon. L. V. Bogy, and we fully exonerate him. - s 2. We further find that George P. Dorriss, of St. Louis, did attempt to bribe two of the members of this Assembly, by the offer of $l,OOO each to Hon. W. 8. Pope, of Wright, and Hon. Mr. Morgan, ~of Benton, to induce them to vote for him {George P. Dorriss) in the Demo_cratic caucus for United States Senator. And we also find thatsaid Dorriss placed money in the hands.of parties who are not members of this Legislature to advance his (George P. Dorriss) interest in the election for United States Senator. 3. We find from the evidence that no member of this Assembly received, directiy or indirectly, any mcney or. consideration,'to influence his vote in any manner whatever in the “Senatorial con test.” : : 4. We herewith transmit to the House all the evidence taken before the Committee. o . (Signed by Henry A. Newman, N. M. Bell, John Walker, and E. J. Sorrell.) In the face of this unequivocal exoneration, we dou_bt whether even so exa‘ctin_g_ a journalist as the venerable gentlenfan 'of the Plain Dealer would demand on our part a refutation of his charge against the integrity of Col. Bogy. - And as this case is the only one upon ‘which the Plain Dealer seeks to impeach our impartiality in denouncing corrupt politicians, there is of course no necessity for a defense of the manner in which we have dealt with individuals whose acts are amenable to public censure. ‘ : But, since the Plain Dealer has undertaken to @Chargeus' with unfairness, we feel impelled to demnand a specification of the delinquencies our cotemporary imagines to have discovered.. If we have apologized for the corruption of any man, or if we have at any time defended thievesin public gr p{ivate station, or if we ever undertook to screen unfaithful servants of people from being held to a rigid accountability—no matter whether the offender called bimself Democrat or Republican—we want the Plain Dealer to show it. We invite the closest scrutiny, and cheerfully offeriour contemporary every facility for making the -investigation thorough and complete. |

Wilf These Things Never/ End? We flattered ourselves that with the close of the Credit Mobilier investigaticn would come the end of these revolting disclosures that so glaringly represent men in high position as corrupt knaves. But the end is not yet, as will be noticed presently. A special dispatch to the St. Louis Republican, says a representative of the New York Stock Exchange, named Colgate, has made a statement that implicates Senator John Sherman and Representative Garfield, of Ohio. Itappears that Colgate went to Washington, during the last session of Congress, to lobby through a bill removing the tax on borrowed capital. This tax bore heavily on New York brokers and they could afford to pay liberally for its repeal. The tax was repealed and Colgate’s report of ex—perses, made to the New York Stock Exchange, showed such large expend itures that it caused comment, and got into the newspapers and then into the bhands of Congressman Dawes, Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee;, who interrogated Colgate, and, by pressing him pretty close, made him confess thathe had paid Judge Charles Sherman,. brother of Senator Sherman, $lO,OOO. Colgate stated that Judge Sherman wrote a letter enclosing a bill for this amount, which he alleged was for making n brief argument before the Senate Finance Committee, and for securing the services of his brother, Senator Sherman, ‘to put the bill through the Senate, and of General Garfield to-put it through the House., - He said he still had the letter from Judge Sherman, and promised to produce it, as well as the report he made to the Stock Excbange. Sherman is Chairman of the Benate Finance Committee, and General Garfield is Chairman of the House Committee on Appropriations: The Clerk of the Ways and Means Committee also figures in the revelations of Colgate, and it is altogether probable there will be-another investigation touch ing' that peculiar branch of Congressional business that relates exclusively to bribety. .| :

Catholic Priests forming Matrimomni- ' al Allianeces. Catholic priests seem disposed to go and get married, like Pere Hyacinthe, and this is giving the Bishops a world of trouble, The_story'is! that the Rev. Mr. Hilman, a priest in charge of a church in st. Paul, Minnesota, fell in love with his landlady and married her, for which he had to walk the ecclesiastical plank; and ‘now a 8% Louis priest by the name of “Schirmer bas fallen in love witha sweet Hibernian lassie, and when the Biskop ordered ' him inot to love her any more, and have her sent away, concluded he would do no such thing, 'and the Bishop has declared that be shall be a priest no longer. This loye business, 1f it ever: gets fairly hold of a man, priest, potentate, or plebeian, will play havoe with all interposing creeds, Vsd.ogmas, bulls, and canong, and make the office-of Bishop as difficult as that of a shepherd with a. dozen wolyes in the fold, :

- CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS. FEBRUARY 13.—The Senate did a gen- | eral day’s work. Several of the committees reported bills of more or less importance, one of which authorizes the Washington, -Cincinnati & St. Louis Railroad ‘to run through the Statés of Virginis, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, to St. Louis, with a branch to Chicago. The Naval Appropriation bill was also taken up and discussed. A bill was also introduced to appoint a board of commissioners to report & system of irrigation for ‘the San Joaquin and Tulare Vailey in California. In the Housé a bill giving aid t the Sutro tunnel scheme was discussed without action, atter which a resolution was introduced indorsing the Spanish Republic. Objections being raised the subject was dropped. The bill creating a Board of Commisioners of Commerce was, after some discussion, tabled. FEB. 14.—1 n the Sepate a resolution was introduced ¢ongratulating Spain on ber becoming a republic. The resélution was, hofvever, objected to and the subject went over. A resolution was also introduced defining what kind of business the Senate shall act on between now and the 3d of March, so as toprevent the necessity of any extra sessﬁn, which was also objected to, but the resolution will be called up #gain. The President by a message called the Senate's attention to the possibility of a conflict in Utah between the Federal and Territorial authorities. In the louse another resolution on the Span ish Republic was introduced but waslaid over. The Geneva Award bill was taken up, Mt. Butlersperking at length against' allowing the claims of insurance companies, .

- FEB. 15. -The Senate devoted the whole day to a discussion of ' the varicus appropriation bills. A resolution in the House to recognize the republic of Spamn was speedily dropped, owing to the protest of Mr. Banks that it was a recognition of slavery in ‘the colonies. Butler's bill for the”distribution of the Geneva awar‘d was then called up and warmly debated. Gen.. Butler, in closing the debate, got up quite a scene with Hon M. C. Kerr, whom he " accused of being influenced by Mr. Evarts, counsel for the insurance companies. After the inter change.of a few Congressional-and polite expletives, the bill was passed, FEB, 17.—The majority of tlfe com - mitlee investigating Senator Caldwell’s bribery: case reported that that-gentle. man’s election_as Senator from Kansas was invalid. The committee have: not been able to unearth all his corrupt expenditures, but encugh is known to establish that Senator Caldwell’s seat was bought. The Committee were at firet undecided whether the offences™charged against the Senator should. cause his expulsion from the Senate, or should be referred back against the validity of his election. They choose the latter course, and offer a resolution declaring him not to have been duly elected to his seat. They close with the childlike remark that the Senator was a novice in pbliti'cs, and evidently in the bands of men who encouraged him in the belief that Senatorial elections in Kansas were carried by the use of money! The Senate will not ‘act’ upon the report until Saturday.. ... The House passed the bill to promote telegraphic communication between Asia and America by the America and East India Telegraph Company. The Com - pany must begin tolay their cable within two years, and are given the right to construct, land, and maintain telegraph lines on the Pacific Coast to connect the two continents. They are to be allowed the use of Government vessels in laying their cables. Unanimous consént was given to the amendment to the Su;’ndry Appropriation bill, prohibiting ‘the publication by the Government of books for free distribution. Thisis one of the steps toward that economy of public printing which must naturally follow the repeal of the franking privilege. The bitl.appropriating $65,000 to reimburse the College of William and Mary, of Virginia, for dest,ruct;ion of property during the war was passed. A substitute for the Agricultural College Bill providing that for every ssod’o}' annual income amounts to $5O, 000 tuition shall be free, was agreed to and the bill passed. - - Fes. 18.—The Senate passed the House bill allowing under the Bankrupt law the exemptions allowed by the laws ot éach State in 1871 to be valid against debts contracted before the adoption of such law, as well as afterward. The American and 'Asiatic Telegraph bill was passed; also, the House bill for relief of settlers on-the Siox reservation in Minnesota:— The Vice President laid before the Senate a petition of Simpson, of counsel in the Pomeroy investigation, asking that the investigation may be exténded so as to receiye the statements of membeérs of the ‘Kanpsas Legislature now at the capital, to whom money was offered: by agents and friends of Pomeroy for voting for him, and after debate a resolation was agreed to, directing the special committee to in quire into any allegation of bribery or corruption by Pomeroy in the Kansas Senatorial election. In the House, the report of 'the Poland Credit Mobilier Committee was received. Itrecommends the expulsion of Ames and Brooks, and exonerates the other members named in connection with the Credit Mobilier, The remainder of the session was spent in Committee of the Whole on the Civil Appropriation Bill.

True, every word. “Pat.” is a man ~whom a party may safely pldce into the most responsible position- without fear of doing injury or causing his friends to become disgusted.

Pullen, the peach crop in New Jersey is not promising. He writes from Hightstown as follows :—“Thursday morning, Jan. 30th, the thermometer at this place stood at 18 degrees below zero. I have carefully ‘ examined the blossom buds of peach orchards in this vicinity, and find nthem‘ all killed. It the same temperature extended throughout the State, my impresgion is that peaches will.be a total failure in New Jersey this year. I also find that the blossom bude of cherry trecsare much. jnjured.” S ’ :

Notes of the New Spanish Republiec. There was a general illomination in Madrid last Saturday night, and public rejoicings at the establishment of a re public. - Don Carlos has entered Spain and his followers are as active and defiant as ever. Among the changes already introduced are the separation of church and state, .the suppression of the Royal Guard, the pardoning of political prisoners, and the abolition of capital punishment ; but the republic openly pronounces against Cuban independence.

The mind of the Spanish people isa little foggy about the nature of its political machinéry. Allusions made in mass ‘meetings to the Democratic-Republic are vociferously cheered, but the wildest notions are entertained of its functions. The peasants in Andalusia want to know when the division of property will begin; the students at the University of Barcelona clamor for the abolition of fees; and in Catolonia the workingmen, besides some sensible demands, ask for less work and more pay. = o

" Minister Sickles has formally congrat - ulated President Figueras on the establishment of the Spanish Republic, ;and the dignity with which the change was made.

*~ . The Price of Type. = Messrs. Geo. P. Rowell & Co..announce that they have at-their warehousé in New York an assortmbnt of type from one of the most celebrated foundries in the world, that of Figgins, London, Eckland, which they will sell at 20 per cent. dis—count from the American scale, when ordered in fonts of 100 pounds and upwards. They also offer to iaport large fonts on specidl orders at a greater disconnt from ‘the American scale, and profess to be able tofill the largest order in eight weeks from date of its receipt. in New York. They supply sorts in large or small quantities from their stock on hLand in New York at the Amcrican. scale rate. They assert that if the present dufy on type shall be reinoved, the price of th(é article, both of home and foreign manufacture, will immediately fall 40 per cent. below the present scale. Messrs: Geo. P. Rowell & Co.are known as conducting the largest advertising business ever secured. by one house, and are also extensive dealers in printing material. They are compelled to import foreign goods be cause American founders, governed by a close corporation or ring, keep the price vastly tvo high, and at the same time make it an exception to every other spe. cies of merchandise by recognizing no wholesale price: the same amount per pound being charged to the purchaser of five thousand pounds as would be paid by him wha wants but fifty, | :

The Canada Sonthern Railroad. The five million 7 per cent. gold bonds of the Canada Southern Railway Company are advertised for sale by New York bankers. Frgm the advertiscment we clip the following, which will doubtless be read with general interest by the citizens of "this place: ¢ The Canada Southern, or eastern end of tkis line, whose bonds were so rapidly sold last summer, is now finished, and will be opened for business, in connection with the Toledo & Wabash and cther Western roads, at a very early day. The Chicago & Canada Southern, or western end of this line,is now being rapidly built, and-the Company expect it to be finished during the present year. ! This great trunk line, when completed through, will be of immense advantage to the shipping interests.of the Gréat West, being level, straight, and 33 miles shorter than any other route. Having connections with all the lines ranning into Buffilo at the East apd Chicago at the West, and under the management of some of the most experiented railroad operators®of the country, its success is rendered a certain. ty, and its bonds must be a ‘safe and profitable investment. It makes the shortest and best connections going West, both at Toledo and Detroit, and is.the only seven per cent. gold bond onrany through trunk line now offered. -

Colfax’s Defence. ' -We fear that there will be a very general feeling of disappointment at the re sult of Mr. Colfax’s defence before the Credit Mobilier Committee. Much . wgs promised and expected ; very little has come to pass. The Vice President, by his counsel, attempts to break down the principal witness—Amesg, Rebuked by the Committee, the defence’ is put in ag follows: Mr. Colfax says be received $2OO from his fatherinlaw and $l,OOO from a New York merchant, (since dead), about the time Oakes Ames is alleged to havé paid him one thousand two hundred dollars as a Credit Mobilier dividend. These sums deposited in the First National Bank, Washington, are said to be the amount which stands to his credit in the account produced. There is no attempt to establish this line of defense on arfy sworn evidence except that of Mr, Colfax and some of the members of his tamily! Against this is the sworn evidence of Oskes Ames, fortified by his memorandum book, the check . for $1,200 and his own bank account. If Mr. Colfax be innocent, he is the victim of a conspiracy stretching over many years, arranged with consummate art, and having no motive which an impartial observer can discover.— New York Tridune.

Another Swindling Scheme, . It would seem as though there was to be no end to the schemes for plundering and stealing through legislative agencies. The latest development in this line is the. following dispatch from Washington: . “There is a scheme on foot to plunder the Treasury which for magnitude and ‘audacity outstrips everything of the kind that has been devised of late> It is nothing less than the assumption by the General Government of the debts of the Southern States to the extent of $125, 000,000. The scheme originates with certain bankers in New York, who are large holders of bends issucd by the car-pet-bag governments in the South, They have employed lobby agents to quietly broach the project to Congressmen, and these lobbyists' have been engaged for several days in this work.,” ey

Conne'cticut Democracy. The call for the Connecticut Democratic State Convention to be held at Hartford on the 19th inst., enunciates the following principles: - The recent. exposures of great frauds and corruptions in Congress and in the late election are a complete justification of the policy and action'of the Liberal Republicans. Their protest was demand--ed by the then existing evils,and their efforts to arrest.corrupt pracdtices and dangerous encroachments upon free government command the respect of good citizens. When, in the course of corrupt practices, it became necessary for the Liberals to dissolve the political bands which connected them with the Administration party, they respectfully declared the causes which impelled them to the separation ; and history will justify their declaration, as an honest peopte are now becoming more thoroughly ‘convinced of its necessity and Its justice. We cordial1y invite all Liberal voters who are opposed to the usurpation of power, to frauds in elections, and to vhe corruptions in official quarters that have as yet been only partially exposed, to act with us in primary meetings, in conventions, and at the polls in rebuking great wrongs and demanding reform and honest constitu--tivnal government. :

A MAN 1N KaNsas, whose front name is John, tried a new experiment for cleaning the soot o(]{ of stove pipes the other day. Hewrapped a lot of powder—some pounds more or less—in a paper and put it in the stove, and, in order to compel it to go up the pipe, shut the door, and, placing his faj».et against it, ‘keroically awaited the result, like a mule witha howitzer strapped on his back. In dve time it went off, and so did John. It was an even race te the door, but outside the powder was ahead. Whether it was dis - gusted at thq vile uses to which 'it had’ been put, or whether the soot was toe comp: ¢t to be moved Isnot knagevn. ( At any rate, B‘a cleansing miethod John thinks it iy a failure, but as a private ea{thquake, where the excited populace go up in a balloon, as it were, and come down more or less mangled, is free to maintain that fg isa decided success,
