"WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1871.

Senator Trumbull's Reform Resolution. The following is the full text of feena* tor Trumbull's resolution, which the Senate on Thursday, refused to pass:

Resolved, That, the House of Representatives concurring, a joint select Committee on Retrenchment, consisting of lour members of the Senate and seven imembers of the House, be appointed by the presiding officers of the two houses, and that the said committeebe instructed to inquire into the expenditures in al I the branches of the service of the United States and report whether any and what offices'ought to be abolished, whether any and what salaries or allowances ought to be reduced, what are the methods of securing accountability in public officers or agents in the care and al»bursement of public moneys, whether moneys have been paid out

llleg^11y»

whether any officer or agent, or other persons, have been, or are, employed in the service without authority or nnnofaasariiv. an1 gmaoimiiy now, ana 10

expenses

What objection should the friends of the Administration have to the adoption of the above resolution? Does the Administration fear exposure, if a committee possessing powers as contemplated in the above resolutions, be appointed? It looks so, for the Administration leaders did all they could to defeat the resolutions, and to prevent the organization of the committee.

Monday the debate went on and the specials to the Cincinnati Commercial speaks of it as follows: "The ten hours' debate in the Senate, on the subject of the Retrenchment Committae, was very interesting, and at times extremely lively, but considered as a whole, its great length rendered it a tiresome one. The result is strongly in favor of the Reformers, although they did not in the main get all they desired. Tiie Administration Senators, on the other hand, get nothing which they really wanted. The only advantage they obtained was in the appointment of the committee, which their large majority enabled them to pack with the strangest and mo.st inefficient material that was ever placed in a Committee of Congress. The committee, as elected, is the same as that agreed upon in caucus last week, and is made up of Buckingham, Pratt, Howe, Harlan, Stewart, Pool aud Bayard. The Chairman, Buckingham, is an innocent old gentleman from Connecticut, who, if left to himself, would forgive anybody, and punish nobody. Of all the men in the Senate, he is the one most easily imposed upon, and an investigation intrusted to him would result in excuses, extenuations, BQiiles and whitewash. He is indeed the embodiment of a truly good man. Pratt is a capable man, but uselesss with such\ leader as Buckingham. Pratt lacks force. Howe is too much of a lawyer, and in an inquiry would take up the time of the committee in elucidating technicalities. Harlan is a candidate for re-election, and therefore worthless in a committee where courage, independence and energy are required. Stewart know3„too well "how it is himself," and is not likely to be very efficient in investigations into jobs and corruption. Pool lacks ability. Bayard is an able man and, by the way, he gave Coukliug some hard knocks today, but he is a Democrat, and has no voice, therefore, in directing the committee.

To this committee anything might be trusted with entire safety. The New York Custom House might be an Augean stable of filth and corruption, and their noses would never discover it and it is no evidence of bravery or honesty that the Administration Senators were willing to give the widest latitude to investigation after the committee was elected. However, the triumph is with the refrmers. They foreed the Grant men into an abandonment of their past )urse, and early to-day it was discovered that Conkliug & Co. were willing to yield, providing that their record could be straightened up,"

T. H. &S. V. Railroad.

The communication signed "Taxpayer," in relation to the contemplated new railroad, was received yesterday after our puper had gone to press, and hence the writer will find some of his questions answered by our article iu yesterday'a GAZETTE. It will be seen that "Taxpayer," who is one of our heaviest pro-perty-holders, is much perplexed in relation to the vote to be given for the $150,003, and we find" ourselves unable to relieve his perplexity. The same cotifusion must certainly exist in the minds of all the voters in the towuship. Th«re is a misunderstanding all around, and we expect the best thing that can be done, is to take a new start. The people fill not- vote so large an amount of unless they knew all filjout (t,

Associated Press.

Mr. Chandler, in his remarks in the United Statt-s Senate, yesterday, used the following words, and we call especial attention to what he says in relation to the Associated Press: "He thought it was clear that the telegraph was to be regarded mainly as an instrument of commerce, because probably three-fourths of the messages sent by telegraph were on commercial business. He contrasted the cheapness of telegraphing in Europe with its expensiveness here, aud said that one of the great advantages of the European system would be the breaking up of an oppressive monopoly known as the Associated Press, but while he thought the Government should control telegraph lines, he would not be willing to buy them at more thau the actual cost of construction.

This "oppressive monopoly" was exercised by the Express and Journal in this city

for

ing the

about three years. They had

a good thing of it, and relying on their exclusive right to the Associated Press dispatches, for several years gave to this people two of the worst printed, most feebly edited, and cheaply conducted papers in the State. They exulted in their close monopoly aud supposed they could never have any competition. When we desired to start a daily paper, and addressed Edmunds and Cruft a letter, asking to have the privilege of the dispatches also, the reply came back: you canH have them. But we did get them. And we got another telegraph line here too. And we lay better dispatches before our readers every afternoon than does any of our cotemporaries. And we intend to continue to do it, and intend to keep up with the prosperity of the city, and if our patronage increases in the future as it has since we commenced getting the dispatches, in a short time we will give to this community a larger GAZETTE, and one filled with more matter, and more worthy of patronage. ^We are glad to see that this "oppressive monopoly," which endeavored to supress us, but could not, is at last

attention

the service

of tht country may and ought to be curtailed, and also to consider the expediency of so amending the laws under which the appointments to the public service are now made, as to provide for the election of subordinate officers after due examination by the proper boards, their continuance in office during the specified terms, unless dismissed upon charges preferred and sustained before tribunals designated for that purpose, and for retaining the publio service from being used as an instrument of political or party patronage that said committee be authorized to sit during the recess of Congress, to send for parsons and papers, and to report by bill or otherwise, and that said committed may appoiut a clerk for six months and no more.

receiv

of United States Sena

tors. Wipe it out, say we. Supress all fellows who can not do business unless protected by a monopoly. Wipe out all who are so weak that they can not stand up fairly and squarely, and fight fair and honest competition full in the face. Why do such fellows incumber the ground? This is a country of fair competition, and all of its interests, and its glorious future stand in utter and unqualified antagonism to monopolies, and especially when this monopoly is in the hands of little, narrow-brained, unenterprising fellows, who without it are nothing, aud with it, not much. An open field and fair fight in all the walks of life, is the only desire of a true men.

Hit the "oppressive monopoly known as the Associated Press" as hard as you can, Mr. Senator, it has no friends in this section.

The Southwestern Railroad.

Editor of Terre Haute Gazette: I have been looking over your paper containing the articles of association of the Terre Haute & Southwestern Railroad, and am surprised to learn that it is only about twenty miles long, and seems lost somewhere in the bottoms between the counties of Vigo and Sullivan and I have come to the conclusion that the terminus has been left in' a migratory condition, so as to be able to lengthen out or shorten up to connect with the air-line road projected about twenty miles south, connecting St. Louis and Hamilton, Ohio. I can see no other reason for stopping the road in the rirer bottoms. If the connection is iutended, why not let it be known at once? A road looks so much better with two ends. This is not, however, very material but if we are going to help build it, wo should know some of the connections, to vote intelligently.

I suppose, so far as the appropriation goes, we have only to say yes or no by our vote. This is all fair enough, but I conclude from a card of our Commissioners in the Journal aud Express, that somebody besides your correspondent has been asking questions. And, it rather occurs to me, some one has gone and put their foot in it. First, there is the petition aud names enough to make a tail to Gilderoy's kite all first-rate men, asking for a good round sum— $150,000. They ask to take stock iu the road to that amount, or to donate that amount. Now, which is it, stock or donation, who can tell? If it is voted down it is stock. If it is voted up it is a donation.

r[he

amine

Commissioners in their card

say they will take the amount in stock. "Bosh." Is that because somebody has put their foot in it, or did the Commissioners put theirs into it in the card Does the law give them the right to say the $150,000 shall be a gift, or we shall have an equivalent in stock for our money. If it does, I should like to know why we vote. Such a vote would be as meaningless a farce as a vote under the order of Napoleon, If they can give away what we by oqr votes demand stock for, or can require stock when we chose to make a donation, what becomes of our choice. I conclude we are not quite so much in leadiug strings. The law says we may donate, if I am correotly informed. And on the top of all this, I saw iu your paper, a few days since, a copy of the order of the Commissioners, stating that a vote would be taken to ascertain whether the people of Harrison township would donate $150,000 to the road. I cannot recollect the exact language, but that was the impression conveyed at least nothing i3 mentioned about stock. Am I correct?

If the vote then is to donate, why can we not do it£ If the Board subscribe stock, can they take the mouey of this township to pay it, without a vote Is this not rather deep water? And when the Board of Commissioners come to ex

the petition, the order, and the

vote, will not they ignore their unofficial card and concluded to follow the law? Thoy must either do this or refuse to do either, on account of the uncertainty of the petitiou, in not stating which it is they want. Now I conclude the company want a donation. Let us see. Are not all the stockholders signers of the petition published in the Journal ofto-day. Their names have never been published by themselves, but I venture the petition contains nine out of ten of the stockholder?.

The company, by their attorneys, presented the petition to the ConTttiissiouers, (so the paper states). And the Board of Commissioners order a vole taken to determine whether we shall donate $150,000. It was all on one side, and is moat likely just as they wanted it—a donation. If it is voted for by a majority, it is a donation. It rather strikes me that numerous inquiries "what" the Board of Commissioners would do, has been prompted by the matter as it looks to me. Can you give any information on these points? We must have it from eome quarter. TAXPAYER.

TWEED was arraigned before Judge Bedford, of the Court of General Sessions, in New York, Saturday, as a common thief, on an indictment by the Grand Jurv, and ordered to be committed without bail. counsel applied to

Judge Barnard for a writ of habeas corpus, which was granted, and Tweed, in custody officers, was intercepted on his way to jail, and taken before that Judge, who released him on $5,000 bail. Criminal indictments against Connolly and a number of other Tammanyites were found by the Grand try. In the civil suits against Tweed and Connolly, at Albany, Judge Lerned declined to re duce the bail of the former, and decided to reduce that of Connolly to $500,000.

BUBKE-INCJ investigation is all very well for the Grant party, when the resotion is offered by Mr. Trumbull, who is not for the Administration. It is all very well to snub Trumbull, but Mr. Grant's friends 'must not, necessarily, snub everybody who demands an investigation—the people, to-wit: The people who oppose investigations are generally those who have cause to dread them.
