If the objoot of the committee was to feat the punishment of any corrupt member of the House their report was shrewdly dovised. ‘They strain the evidence to the utmost limit to make out a case for the expulsion of Brooks, while they cover up by silence or acquit from blame such convicted corraptionista and falsi- fiers’ as Colfax and Kelley. By this means the democratic members may be induced to re- fuse to vote for tho expulsion of their political associate unless tho punishment shall reach the guilty republicans as well. They declare Oakes Ames to have been guilty of bribery, and they pronounce those who received hig gifts innocent of being bribed. As the great Hoax sat with @ sardonic grin upon his features lis- tening to the report, how he must have chuckled within himsolf at the idea of Bing- ham, Kelley, Garfield, Scofield and Dawes, be- sides others whose names yet lie hidden in the mysterious pages of his memorandum book, voting to expel him from the House! If the committee did not seo the effect of their recom- mendations; if they did not clearly under- stand that their pretended sacrifice of Brooks and Ames was calculated to save the victims themselves as well as their whitewashed asso- ciates in crime, then they are not the keen law- yers and cunning politicians they are generaliy supposed to be. The report reads like a sarcasm upon its authors. ‘No member of Congress ought td place himself in circumstances of suspicion,’’ say the committee, “so that any discredit to the body shall arise on his account.” Yet they declare that Kelley, who accepted Orcdit Mobilier stock from the Congressional briber, Ames, without paying for it, who afterwards borrowed money of the same person and who sought by false testimony to deny his gnilt until confronted by proof under his own hand, has committed no wrong act and had no corrupt intentions! “It is of the highest importance,” continue the committee, “that the national legislature should be free from | all taint of corruption, and it is of equal neces- | sity that the people should feel that it is so. In a free government like ours we cannot | expect that the people will long respect the | laws if they lose respect for the lawmakers.’ | Yet these plausible champions of public virtue | can find no offence in the action of the Con- gressmen who hounded the heels of Ames for a share of his tempting prize, and recommend | that the halls of Congress shall continue to be disgraced by the presence of the bribe-takers who are the contempt and scorn of every de- The Prevailing Sympathy for Ortmi- mals, It is @ singular phonomonon, but one worthy of the most serious thought, that preva- lence of crime should be attended by peculiar and sincere outgushings of sympathy for tho criminal The one indicates the decay of public morality quite as much as tho other. But in a grave and alarming crisis like this the newspapers have a duty to perform which can- not be easily put aside. The duty is to insist vigorously and earnestly upon the punish- ment of the guilty. At this time human lifo is unsafe from the hands of ruffians of every class. We almost daily hear of homicides committed with or without provocation, Even where the guilt of the offender is thoroughly established punishment is slow and sympathy active. The best men in the community sign petitions for tho reprieve of criminals. The Governor is importuned day and night to pardon convicted murderéra. The néwapaper offices are besieged by pure and earnest per- sons who beg for mercy to men who are only entitled to punishment.

Incorruptible Kelley ! Rapid Transit for New York. The meeting which was held on Tuesday night at the Cooper Institute, although not so large as was expected, was one of the right sort, and it must be regarded as furnishing good proof that more rapid transit from the lower to the upper parts of the city is one of the greatest necessities of the day.

Screntiric Free Buos.—Yesterday a delib- erate and elaborate attempt to rob the Wall street bankers was made by a “‘clique'’ of Mhieves and fire bugs, who lighted fires in two different buildings just at the busy hour of ® quarter-past two, when ‘‘deliveries’’ are being made, and when the brokers’ boxes are open and bonds and stocks are in transilu drom office to office or lying loose upon the desks. The detectives and the police ‘tum- dled’’ to the ‘game’’ at once and warned the rokers, s0 that there was a hasty barricading of doors by clerks to provent the expected in- vosion.

What must it have been to our young Guizot, he a Frenchman in the mounting days of youth, and Frenchmen carrying the tri-color from capital to capital ?

We pass over the weakness —— Scormrp, oF Pennsyivanu, is a lawyer, and | investment. Yet Judge Poland says Scofield nearly all of whom are practising lawyers, had no knowledge of the character and objects of a company so notorious as the Crédit Mobilier. But the report itself shows that all these whitewashed Congressmen received their enormous dividends in Pacific Railroad bonds and stock within a few weeks or at the | very moment of their purchase of Cridit | Mobilier shares. Bingham, of Obio, the | Chairman of the Judiciary Committee of the | House, received all his dividends and retained the stock. By what law or logic do the com- mittee hold that these men would have been guilty if they had possessed a foreknowledge of the value and character of the stock and yet pronounce them innocent when they are shown to have acquired that knowledge and to have still retained the stock and enjoyed its illegal profits ? ‘We pronounce the report a fraud, as dis- honest and corrupt as the action of the de- Coroxex Boor, Senator elect from Missouri, who has passed through the ordeal of one committee of his State Legislature, on charges of bribery and corruption, with a Scotch ver- { dict of “not proven,”’ is to pass again through the crucible. Some parties who were not satis- fied with his acquittal got up the cry of ‘‘white- woshing,”’ and the report that important evi- dence within reach of the committee of inquiry had been passed over.

To quiet these parties Mayon Havemeyen is still on the rampage, bouched Congressmen it is designed to shield. Will it be permitted to succeed?
