The House aceept the minority roport of tho Inves- tigating Committeo, which declares tho chargos of bribery not proven; the Sonato adopt the ejority report, finding him gailty, The Senate, yestorday, refused to postpone the considoration of Senator Spencer's case, or to refer his credontials to a seloct committoo, but, without division, voted to admit him to his geat, Tho credontials of Senator MeMillan, who had the misfortuno to be elected by the people’s Logiclature of Loulslana, wore laid on the tablo, Tonnesseo bas at lost adopted the common school eystem, which has been so considorable an element in Northern civilization, and which the Bouth has, up to this time, noglected. The new Bchool Iaw establishes an ample organiza- tion, with Buporintendents, directors, toachers, and generous funds for ita support, A sult for §657,000 dsmagoes hag boon bronght againgt tho United Btates by tho Nowport & Cincinnati Bridge Company. Tho ground of their complaint {8 tho action of Congross requir- ing o chango in the construction of the bridgo after tho Government had approved tlio plans, Sucha soit ngalnst tho Government liself ia without procodent, and finds warrant only in rocent logislation by Congress. An necomplico and paramour of Warren,' tho principal in tho Bank of England forgerios, has been arrosted by the London police. A large amount of money was found in hor room, which Abo disowned ss Kolley dlsownod the Oredlt Alobilier stock, and doubtlosa for tho same roa~ sou.

In this last affalr, two of the rufliaus wore killed, while try- ing to do as much for tho officor. Their cnsos aro disponed of, and will trouble no courts or jurlos.

The Mayor in to bo nllowed to remove city oflicors; tho City Govornmont Is to Liave jurisdiction of all noigh- boring wators, full polica power ovor railronds within the corporato limits, and power to assoss nud {ax property for municipal purposes. Tho nuthoritios aro to submit tho question of organ~ izing undor the gonoral law to tho votors at the noxt gonaral oleotion, or upon petition of one- oighth of their number n special election moy be ordored. 2 E held thoir conventions soparato, but, a8 was ex- pooted, mnde but ono ticket, No disagrooment aroge except upon tho nomination of Mayor, which was awarded to tho Democrats. .Thoy wero aftorward ssked by tho Liberals to recon- sidor thelr choice, ns the popularity of thoir candidato was doubted. Tho Domooratlo Convention had adjourned finally boforo tho Taberald proffored this roquest, but hina boon roconvened for to-day, when it will tako such action ‘‘as may bo nocossary.” The Liberal Ro- Publicans renssomblo in o fortnight. Boforo that time the Ropublicans mako their nomina- tions, which, it is intimated by tho Commercial, will boso offonsive that the Liberals will find tho situation in their hands It is now announced that there will be no moro free passes fesued over the Union Pacific Railroad. This may bo rogarded e n direct ro - sult of the Credit Mobilier developments. It would bo pleasant to beliove that tho dotermina~ tion had boen regchod s n part of & genoral programme to malko tho rond earn every dollar it could for tho benefit of the Government, which has already sufferod so sovoroly on its account. It is moro likely. to be in revengo for the baso ingratitudo of Benators, Reprosontatives, legis- Ilntors, and officials of all kinds, who havo re- ceived 80 many favors from the corporation only to show baso ingratitude Dy denying that they ever hnd anything to do with it, or knew any- thing about it. Dat, whatover the moving cause may bo, the change ia & good ono.’ ‘The lettor of Gon, Emory to Gov. McEnory, of Loulsians, is o remarkable production, and sliows that tho accomplished and exporienced soldier is doaling with mattors entircly beyond tho legitimato line of Iaw and duty. Gov. Aec- Enery wroto to him, inquiring whether the arreat of the Spealker and members of the Legia- lature was suthorized by him as Commanding Gonoral of the Unitod Btatos troops, and to this Gen. Emory respouds, that the . arrest was mado without his knowledge; that, if it was made by the authority of the Kellogg Stato Gov- ornmont, his orders were to uphold it; butif it ‘were not tho act of the Kellogg Btate Govern- mont, then he hadnothing todo withit. We can understand the embarrassment of the ofiicer, who under ordors to aid and assist the Kollogg Gov~ ornment 1n whatever it may choose to do, and yeot hag no control over that Government, must wait until he finds out whother an infamous out~ rage has beon ordered by the Governmont befora ho can say whether ho will sustain it or not. Mr. Brooks makes tho most extraordinary of all the contributions to Credlt Mobilier litora~ ture. Ho jssues an address to his constituents, was an attempt to tako ndvantage of his physical prostration, Tho Committes was organized oxpreagly to find lim guilty of owning tho 160 shares of stock held by his son-in-law, and was mado up of such matorial a8 Banks, o Chova- lier d'Tndustrio ;" Morrick, * gore and sour," “ hating tho whole human raco’' bocause ho failed in an eloction to Congress ; Niblack, * = vory, vory small man;” Poland, “a sly, gleck, snd crafty Choirmen.” Mr, Brooks protosts rightly enough that ho alono ought not to be mado a sacrifice, but has the oxcoeding bad taato to plead that his fellows are more involved than himself. Ho attacks the roport of tho Committee on its facts and its finding ; denies that ho or hia son-in-law committed porjury, and announces that Lio will appesl in porson to his constituents if God restorea his health, Tiscount Ossington, Joln Evelyn Douison who was widely mentioned by tho pross last year on tho occasion of his retiring from the Spenker- ship of the House of Commons, which ho had hold for fiftcon years, died, Weduesdny, at tho agoof 73, Mr. Denison was graduated at Ox- ford in his 23d year, snd at onco ontored Parlisment, Undor Mr. Canning's administra- tion, hgo bocamo Lord of the Admiralty.

Meanwhile, tho Modocs romain in tholr lava-bod l‘nvmng an attack. A laudful of savagas, some slxty-nino warrlora in numbor, have thue for months defled the Unitod Statos Govornment to move thom to tholr resorvation, or to punish them for their plunderings and murders. Tho record of tho Modoo war {8 & mortifying and humilinting con- coaalon of woaknosa or somothing worse. Firat, tho military forco which was sent to remove tho Modocs was fairly and squarely whipped Dby thom, although it Ilargoly oxcoodod thom in numbors. Having beon whipped, without evor sooing the Modocs, the military was withdrawn and tho Ponce Commis- slonors wora sot at work, to politely requost tho Modoca to do what thosoldiors had boon orderod to do at any cost. Aftor wooka of shilly-shally~ ing, which has cost tho Government enormouely, tho Modoes courteously nllow the Penco Com- miesioners to got off with their scalps, and send word that they prefer to fight xather than leave thoir lava-bed. Aud now tho military have to do what thoy should have done at flrat—take the Modocs to the Klamath Reservation. Whothor they get them thero dend or alive is of littlo con- soquonco, 80 that the ordors of tho Government aro obeyed. L Judge Kolley, one of tho viclima of Oskes Amos In tho rocent Orodit Mobilior scandal, hus gono home to Ponnsylvaunls with n lighter pocket, but a clearer conscionco—the ton shares of atock which Onkos Ames insists bolongs to tho Judgo, and tho check for 2829, which ig the dividond Ames paid Lim, having beon turned over to tho United States Treasuror, to bo crodited to tho congcienco fund, Thero are two interesting points connocted with the transac- tion, In tho first place, Kelloy has dono the bandsome thing. Io has made restitution, as far as lies in hls power, by getting tho unclean stuff out of his hands, and giving it to the United Blates Troneury, from which it was originally fllched, through the Credit Mobilier conspiracy. If all the others who dab-~ bled in the plundor, and sought to got out of it by tho most oxtraordinary twisting and squirm- ing ovor known, had confessed their delinquen~ clos, and shown their sincerity by ridding them- selvea of the last cont of Credit Mobilier lucre, they could have gone home like Kelley and defonded thomaelves, or at lonst slopt peacefully of nights, without any feor of belng haunted by Crodit Mobilier spoctres. In the sccond place, Judge Poland, at tho desire of Judgo Kolloy, requests Mr, Spinner ta call upon Onlios Ames for the balanco of the nccrued dividends on the stock, amounting to somo £4,000 or 85,000 Tius complotes Judgo Kelley's good intontions, and shows the thoroughness and oarnestness of his ropentance. His excellent conduct should bo imitated by all Congressmon who have had a hand in Oredit Mobillor, Let them all call upon Onkos Ames to make restitution of their accruod dividends and then pass them over to'Mr. Spinner. Thoro was not a line of proof in the testimony showing that Oskes Ames paid tho acerued dividends, oxcopt to Patterson and Bingham. If hodid not pay them, the inforenco is inovitablo that thoy found tholr way into tho capacious pockats of thio Shovel-Mako: i The indications are all favorable to tho com- mutation of tho sentenco of - Foster, the car- hook murdorer” of Now York, It would bo im- possiblo to explain what has prompted so many porsons of influence to intercst themselves in his bohalf, Itisons of many other common but alwsys mysterious cases whero moralists, roligionists, and society people take sldes with depraved human naturo when they would refuso to oxtend o holping bhand to unfortunato bonesty, or an encournging word to thoso who are ‘‘moro sinned against than sinning.” Certain it s, Lowover, that n formidabla combination of religious, social, and political influenco has been lLirought to boar upon Gov. Dix, which first induced him to grant & temporary reprieve, and which promises to induce him to ¢hange the punishment from doath to imprisonment. It was with the bold and brutal murder which Fostor committed that tho reign of terror began in Now York, during Which scoros of men and women have boon killed, and tho Tombs has been overorowded with the murderers who failed to oscape, Fos- ter, though the son of & wealthy man and of reputablo connections, was a typical Now York rough, omploying his time in drinking whisky, {usulting women, and dofying all the laws of decency and the Commonwoath, It was hoped that, as his orime inauguratod the murdorous ers, hia punishmont would inaugu- rato a now ora, in which tho law shoyld nssert its strongth to protect the lives of the com- munity, Upon tho hanging of Foster has de- pended, and still dopends, tho hanging of the murderors who have imitated his example. To commuto Foster's sentence to imprisonment for lifo, simply moans that the same influonces which could meouro this result will secure hia roloago trom the Ponitentiary aftor a year or go. Jt moans more than this, for Foster's escape would act a8 a successful encouragoment for Jurios to ignoro the law of capital punishment, sud for roughy and murderers to allow thoir passions to run riot in Now York Oity. FEDERAL CONTROL OF BTATE ELECTIONS, The Presidont, in his inaugural address, sposking from a complete knowledge of the con- dition of affairs in Louislang, said; ‘Tho Btates lately at war with the Gonoral Govern- ‘mont are now, happily,rehabilitated, and no Exccutivo gontrol is oxercised in any onv of them that would not beoxercised iy nny other State under liko circum. stances, At the timo this was uttered by tho Propie dont Gon., Emory was in tho military oc- oupation of tho Btate of Louisians, undor orders 10 compel the people to submit to & Btate Goy- ernmont erected by force and fraud, and to pro- hibit aud restrain the lawfully-clocted Glovern- meont from oxorcising any suthority or power. The Prosident considors the military oo~ cupation of o Btate, tho forciblo overthrow of tho Government, and the forcible ercotion of pnothor, a8 an ccourronce of such an ordinary character that It may ng likely occur in Indiana or Ohioas in Louislana, and, should thoe exi- geneles of a party faction require it, ho will re- poat in nuy Btato tho'oxtraordinpry proceedings o has adopted in Louisiana, This doolavation of tho Presldent is, porhaps, ‘but an ovidence of tho progress the country bas made toward consolidation. The President of tho United Btatos bing mado himaolf final judze of who ought to bo Governor and wha_otight to bo the Loglalataro of a Stato. -Whon' tho: ro- turning officors shall doolaro & -porson olootod Govornor who s distastoful to tho relatives nnd porsonnl - friends of tho Prosidont, the Inttor, in hia inougural, doclares that ho wiil interpose tho military, tako armed posaossioa of tho Btate, rostrain’ tho lawtal authorlty, and tnstall tho man Lo thinka ought to hinve boon olocted. Whon tho witnesses in the Louislana caso wore boforo tho Bonato Committeo, Mr, Morton nsked tho Chairman of tho Bonrd who Liad declared tho Kellogg Govern- ment eloctod what roturns thoy lisd beforo thom upon which to declaro the result, and the follow- ing is the statomont s 1Ftness—Wo took all tho ovidenco wo lind ofore us and our knowledgo of {hio parishes and thelr political comploxion, and wo then decided. . Carpenter—You cstimated 1, {hon, upon tho ‘basis of what you thought tho vots otaht to have been? Witness—Yos, eir, Thnt wna juat the fact, Judgo Duroll declded tiat this man Iynoh and two others should alone deolare tho result of tho olection ; aud thoy, withéut areturn of the vote from a slingle pirish in tho Btato, oati- matod what thoy coneidorod was necossary to clect Kellogg snd a Logislaturo, and doclared the rosult. This Govornmont thua orected, which 1ias boen pronounced by the Sonate Committeo the grossost fraud over' porpotrated in the his- tory of tho country; has: been installed by the military forco of tho United Btates, and the Prosident of the Unitod Btates avows his pur- pose to do tho samo thing in any other Btate to accomplish £hé samo rosulta, " THE RAILROAD QUESTION. + The Bloomington (IIL.) ZLeader thinks the propor remady for the railroad troubles is.an amondmont to the Eonatitution of the United Btates giving to Congress the power to regulate thorates to bo charged by rallroads for tho transportation of frolght and passongors in mll parts of the United .Btates. Assuming, for ar- gument's .gake, that tho rallroads have hitherto eecaped logal regulation nnd control bocauso of their ability to corrupt s controlling majority in tho Legislatures of tho thirty-aovon Btates, the tranafor of all legislative power over them to Congress would reduco tho number of persons to be corrupted to ono thirty-seventh of the pros- ont number. Tho exporionce of the country in tho mattor of Congressional legislation for rail~ ronds is not oncouraging. Congress has tried its hand {n the railroad business. It has loaned National bonds to the amount of €65,000,000, and {8 now paying Intorest on ita own loan at tho rato of nearly 84,000,000 o yoar, and this is to continuo thirty yoars, For all this monoy, prin- cipal and iuterest, amounting to over $160,000,~ 000, it will havo at tho ond of thirty yoars rail- ronds that costless than $70,000,000, and cov- ered with prior mortgages to perhaps $100,000,~ 000. Notwithstanding all this outlay, Congress bos voted away to the compavies the power to fix their own rates for the transportation of pas- tongors and froights, and respocting thom is ag holploss as any State Legislature. All this waa accomplishdd by corruption inthe two Housos of Congross, and thotwo Houses of Congress have Just refused to oxpel tho ringleaders in tho bribery, or to consure the men who accepted the bribes. If, instond of one branch of the raflroad system of tho country, the entiro raiiroads of the United Statos should be united in tho pur- chase of a controlling majority of Congress, it is possiblo that the country would fare worso thnn ot prosent. Taken as & whole, popular rights and liborties are infinitely safer in tho hands of State Legislatures than §n thoso of Congress. Tho transfer of Btato control over roilronds from tho Legislature to Congress would end in the enslavement of the country. ‘The power of monopolics at Washington is writ- ton in tho pogos of tho tariff-legislation, THE SPANISH ORISIS, The latest news from Spain makes it apparont that it would have {beon wisor for Congress to bave delayed it Bpanish congratulations until such timo as it would hade been made certain what Congress was congratulating., Under presont circamatances, congratulations to any one of tho threo pretenders to the Crowa would hayo been moro apropos than congratulations to the Ropublio. Infact, the person who doserves the most ardent congratulations -is Amadens himself, both for his good fortune in gotting out of Bpain, and the houdsome and dignified man- ner in which ke Las done it. There are some who will conténd that ho has declined to take tho part of a hero by strug- ghing to the bitter end to perpetuate his dynas- ty, and only yielding when that result was dem- onstrated to be impossible, Thoro are othors who will arguo that, by his sbdication, mado not only for himaelf but his family and descondants, ko hus deliborately allowed Lis name to drop out of history, and that in the retiroment of his Italisn home the world will soon forget him. His own words, howover, in his sbdication mes- ange to tho'Corfes, furnish a suflicient causo for his suddon action, and, at tho same time, sot tho true condition of Spain boforo the world in tho atrongaat possible light.

ENGLISH SOANDALS IN HIGH LIFE, The rumored sopaiation of the Marquis of Lorne and tho Princess Louise may be regarded 88 a sort of culmination of & sorlos of scandals which high life in England has furnished during tho past two or thres years, Itis not improba- ble that the oxamplo of tho Princo of Wales had much to do with the loose habits and immoral practices which have brought soveral of the aristocratio familios boforo tho publio in disrepu- tablo conneotions. The Prince of Wales, some years ago, was the londer of a selact band of young roues, whoeo mnoble oxtraction did not gave them from very ignoblo pur- suits. They hovered abont tho groen- rooms of tho minor theatres, and took tho obscone oxhibitions known as *British Burlesquo” under their speclal protection. It Wwas a common occurrence for young noblemen to be arraigned beforo tho Justicos for drunken rows, in which they generally had their nristo- cratio hends punched in. the effort to punch ple- boian craniums, Tho most astounding exhibit was made whon Lord Mordaunt brought a suit for divorco, bnsed upon his wife's statoment im- plicating the Princo of Walos and various young bloods of London town. Lady Mordaunt's ox- cuso was o striking commont upon the morals of the day, for sho justified hor conduct by claim- ing that sho only imitated high-toned society in gonoral. Bho mado this rovelation in slang terms well suited to the rogion of Tattersall’s and the Btrand, Lady Mordeunt's relatives cambo to the rescue by maintaining that sho was insane, and tho suit was postponed while the lady was placed undor treatmont. The scandal-mongers wero disappointed for tho timo being, though the husband insists that the suit shall still be tried, sooner or later., In the meantime, various scan- dols of o loss pronouncod charzotor have main- tainod tho interest of the high-toned English ariatocracy, and at this time thoro are several coses ponding which threaten the over- throw of many familles, A fow wooks sinco, tho English public Lad & sonsa- tion after its own heart in the announce- ment that Lord Wentworth, the only lineal de- scondant of Lord Byron, and the heir to two Pooragos, had brought an action for divorco against tho young and beautiful wife whom he had introduced into his select circle only a couple of years ago. Lody Wentworth ie tho daughter’ of & clergyman, but sho speedily overcamo tho projudices against her low birth by hor great personal beautyand the fascination of her varied sccomplishmonts, Her innocenco doos not scom to have commanded any rospect from the new soclety into which sho had been conducted, though it would havo had & recognized valua in tho lowlier walke of life which sho had abanu- doned. It is not probable that the reported separation of the Marquis of Lorno and his wifo has for its caugo anything similar to tho social troubles that havo boon mentioned, for tho female portion of Victorias family has always beon as chasto as tho male portion has been prone to dissipation. Novertholoss, tho scandal romains, Rumors havo heretofore been proved to be go idle and absurd, thet thoro is mever any good roason to give credonce until they take a substantial and suthoritative shape, Tho publio, however, always sot upon the prosumpiion that whero thore ia smoko thero must bo somo fire: and, in tho present instance, it will ro- quire something positive to remove tho sus- picion that the rumor Las created. Tho marriage of the Princess Louige, the sixth child of Queen Vietoria, ocourred March 23, 1871, and attracted sn unusual smount of comment aud interest bo- cquso it was ono of the very fow dopartures from tho rule of relgning familics that royelty must intermarry with royalty. There wore urgent protests against tho motch among some’ of the logitimate royalists, but tho people of England rogarded the union as an evidénce of growth of demoeracy, and celebrated it accordingly. The Marquis of Lome was & handsomo fellow of Scotch blood,—robust, hoatty, and gallant; tho Princess Louiso was & young woman of the strict notlons which Victoria lins iustilled into the minds of her doughters, It wis geuorally believed to be & love match, and the youthful loarts of Groat Britain beat with prido at u prec- odent which relieved the future Princessos of Lngland from tho ungrateful ncoesslty of marry- ing blasted, bowhiskored forcignors. It wns little dreamed two years ;go, whon the Marquis of Lorne, in his Scotol plaid and pride, and the Princoss, in hor trailing voil and modesty, stood before the altar, that even tho breath of scandal could roach the young couple soauspiciously united. Tho report which tells of the sopara~ tion glives incompatibllity of tompor us tho couse, It is o torm of very gen- oral meaning, In tho absonce of auy more epocifio reason, it may not bo out of placo to alludo to a singular it mot significant oircum- stence, Tho Viotoria family has been wonder- fully prolific. The Queon horself had borno nino children whon Ler husband died. Victoria Adolaide, the Priucoss Royal, who married "tho Crown-Prluce of Prussia, hng alroady had elght children. Tho Prince of Wales, who marriod tho bonutitul Alexandra, ,of Doumark, in 1803, i tho fathor of soven children by his wife. Tho Princosa Alice, who married Princo Willinm, of Hosgo, in 1802, has bad five children. Princoss Holona Augusts, who was united to the Princo of Bchleswig-Holsteln in 1800, hos already prosented herliego lord with four childron,. Hore #ro fivo marrioges in the family which havo bhadsa offapriug of thirty-threo, whilo tho parentaare still young ; and In onchcaso & child hing boen born within o yoar of married lifo. It s thore- fora noticoablo that tho union of tho Princoss Toulse to tho Marquis of Lorno, which oceurred two yoara ago, should havo failed to produce an hoir. Whothor or not this olroumstanco han anything to do withthorcported incompatibility, and tho doporturo of tho Marquis to foreign lands, and tho rumored rotiroment of the Prin- coss to o roligions rotront, must naturally bo & mntter of moro conjecturo. —e NOTES AND OPINION, Tho lacal elections in tho Btato of Now York, this spring, show Opposition gains, Utlen, tho -home of Conlling, Lns elocted a Domooratio Mayor by 1,098 msjority, in s poll 1,000 votos short of last Novembor's, when Grant liad 237 mefority, Tho Utiea Zerald (Congromsman Roberts’ papor) complains that tho Ropubllcnns liad dificulty in finding a candidate, * not losa than fifty" having rojected all ovorturen ; to which the Observer adda this informntion: Tho fifty loadora would not hiavo declned a nominn- ton IML‘)'clr, nor tho year bofore, Tho docline it now Decatito {lielr’ organization s dropping to plocos, Tho suawer of ono may bo given na the anmwor of alls T cau't doit.
