The Republican's Washington special
says: ihe committee on privileges and
elections havo at last succeeded in getting
possession of a portion of the bank books
j of Scott & Co, who were the bankers of
Caldwell and Smith at tbe time of the
bribery at Topeka. The aingle book ex
amined showed that during tbe canvass
forty-two thousand dollars were drawn
on the checks of Caldwell ond Smith from
Scott & Co., and that ten-thousand dollars
additional were obtained by Caldwell's
cbect on Jay Cooke & Co., of Philadcl
phia. Most of this money was drawn
just previous to the senatorial election.
In addition to tbn it is already shown
that thirty-six thousand dollars have
been found outside tho bank books and
form a part of the money used to buy the
legislature. Tho whole amount known
to have been expended by Caldwell thus
far developed by tbe investigation is
about eighty-eight thousand dollars.
Tho St. Louis Democrat, tho Radical
organ of the state, speaking of the Pom
eroy affair in Kansas says : "As the
matter stands, with all the lights before
us, wo are forced to the conclusion that
Mr. Pomeroy ha3 been guilty of one of
tho most flagrant acts of bribery by
which a public man ever disgraced him
self, and wc do not sco bow tho United
States Senate can fail to take edgoizanco
of it, even during the month which
remains bsfore tbe expiration of the term
which Mr. Pomcroy is now serving. It
cannot refuso to take cognizance of these
facts if immediately brought to its knowl
edge, nor can it allow Mr. Pomcroy to
sit or voto as a Senator, after officially
ascertaining tbe faots, without forfeiting
much of the respect and confidence of the
people. It Is not enough that be has
been defeated for re olection. lie should
bo ignominiously expollcd from tho scat
ho now holds, unless ho can. prove that
the assertions of Mr. York aro falso and
malicious, in which event no moasuro of
punishment would bo too great for Mr.
York."

'time tbo Democrats bad a majority of
tut one in'lhe Pennsylvania lefiMature

m bt annety to succeed to the United
,;, Senatorabij., looked around eagerly
for a Democratic subject to operate t.pon.
jOne Thomas JtiTcrton ltcyer, a back
I county member, conceived the idea of
playing a hoax upon the pure Sitnen. He
was impelled to this also Irom a fear that
tome nreax brother oitgutfall into Simon e
adroit hands, and by negotiating with t lie
old coon bimseli, r e impressed upon hitn
thefolly of "seeing" any other member ol
the party. Hover played bis cards well
and entirely deceived Cameron, who did
not realize tbe boax until tho election
came off, when Boyer voted for Iiucka
lew, who was elected by a bare majoritr
An investigation was suggested, but Boyer
lorestalled all action by making a state
ment which created no little merriment,
in wbicb he related how Cameron had
offered him a large sum of nunc; for
his vote: bow tbe offer was apparently
accepted ; bow the money was counted
down and put in the bands of a notori
ous politician Jor safe keeping; bow be
voted against the candidate who thought
ho bad purchased him ; and how the
whole affjir wa a nicely laied trap to
cttch the candida'c, who had achiaved a
high and well-merited reputation in the

Unaccou.ntahle. The current ol
days that disintegrates the fine reputation
of the Vice President of tho United States
continues to roll on without an effort on
his pirt to resist or repair its ravages.
The Vico-Prcsident is surprisingly inac
tive for a man who has so much to do,
and so short a time to .do it in. The
forgotten persons who wero to come
forward and swear that the 81,200 which
he deposited in bank was given to him
for campaign purposes in Indiana, have
not yet been found, and the public arc
beginning to think thoy never will bo.
Ojkes Ames' pitiless statement that this
81,200 was a dividend which he paid to
the vieo prcsident, and which tho vice-
president swears ho did not receive, there
fore stands like a rock. How the Vice
President, under these circumstances, can
waste his time and talents in lecturing
beforo temperance societies and young
men's Christian associations surpasses
comprehension. Republican.
Cold Facts. Tho unblushing serenity
with which tho Vico President foists
himsilf upon tbo public, with all the
weight of alleged and not disproven op
probrium that rests upon him. m not
calculated to elevate him in tho opinion
of honest men, or inspire tho belief that
he is a persecuted individual. It waa not
necessary, of course, in order to give a
dramatic turn to tho denouemeut, that he
should go off into a raving madness as
Pomeroy did for a night or two, but it is
not wise, as a general rule, to undertake
tho mitigation of on unpleasant notoriety
by making onesself unduly conspicuous.
If it is possible Tor Mr. Colfax to vindi
cate himself, by all means let him havo
the opportunity, but his apparent bravery
of public sentiment is in the worst possi

tbat said Dorris placed money in the
hands of parties who are not members of
the legislature to advanco his (Geo. P.

3. We find from the evidence that no

The report it will be observed was not
signed by Mr. Headleo of Greene, the
Republican member of the committee,
and at his request the house laid over the
report-before action shall be taken until
Wednesday morning at 11 o'clock, in
order to givo bim time to examine the
evidenccc and draw up a mioorty report.
Pkeacui.no Sion-ED. It was almost
a scene in the O. S. Presbyterian church,
on Sabbath last, when afcr the sermon
and communion exercises, the pastor, Mr.
Quarles, withdrew from the church, leav
ing tho congregation undismissed, and
uudecided what to do. A lively sensa
tion was created when the elders of the
church announced that preaching in lhat
church would bo suspended uutil fur
tber notice, and for tho simple reason that
the congregation couldn't or would raise
enough money to pay the pastor his sal
ary, on wluctr there was something over
8000 in arrears. Tho church has beeu
laboring under annual deficits, and the
officers did not like the idea of becoming
further involved, and concluded to stop
expenses until they eiuld relieve them
selves ot this debt. This is one of the
oldest churches in the city, has been one
of great usefulness, and this suspension
of its labors is to be regretted. Upon the
division of the church two or three years
inco, mo congregation cave to tho As
setnbly party f5,J00 for their interest iu
tlio church property. This debt on ao
count of tho prevailing hard times has
proven a heavy burthen and is not ct
entirely paid. We trust this unfortunate
interruption will be but temporary, and
that the pood old pews, dear to so many
hearts, will soon bo thrown open again.
Mr. Quarlcs is ono of the best beloved
and mot useful ministers that has ever
officiated iu Lexington. We know bis
