ry to see this. Mr. Jones is at the head of

By the latest telegrams from New Orleans,
we learn that the congressional committee,
has left there, and the gentlemen composing
it are new on their way to the capitol. The-
committee remained two days longer than
was anticipated in order to investigate the
alleged frauds in the -U. 8. Custom HouseIOI
that port. The result of the investigation; ‘it
is said, is highly complimentary to collector
Kellogg, and exoneraies him from all blame
and no charge of fraud or official malfeas-
ance will be preferred against him. I
In relation to the riots and massacres, one
hundred and sixty witnesses were examined,
fifty of whom were selected-by a committee
of loyal citizens. The testimony when fully
written out will make some two thousand, or
more pages of legal-cap manuscript.
Borne idea of the extent towhich a contra-
band trade in‘f‘oreign armshas been carried
on at this port, may be gained from the fact
that .the Government has seized overflow
000 worth, during the past year, and for'
which some fifty suits are now pending in
the United States District Courts, between
the shippers and the government.
It is reported and in a manner that bears
the semblance of truth, that General P. H.
Sheridan is about to lead one of the fair
daughters of'Lonisiana :0 the altar. The la-
dy is said to be fair, amiable and wealthy.

that the legislative body. wascompo‘sediesé

denouncing all as traitors and public enemies

The late rebels of the South and the? cop
perheads of the North are straining every
nerve and making every. exertion”z to place
the prostrate leaders of the old. ; slabe oligar-
chy upon their feet again. The Executive
and the judge of the Supreme Coilrtv'are al-'
ready in their infere'st, and unlessCongresai
adopts measures to check their movements
very soon there is no predicting where. the:
matter will end. The only avenue to peace
and prosperity ill the South, lies in a
frank and honest acquicsence in Iflie' condi-
tions imposed by Congress; and untili the
ed by the late rebellious states, they‘mnst be~‘ '
strangers to happiness and prosperity. ' The
conditions offered, are both wise and just,and
if is'the fault of the leaders that the masses
are now hostile towards Congress.

From Bloke-19’ Christmas Story.
A RAILROAD REFRESHMENT Room.
In “ll[ugby J auction," Dickens .gives an
inimitable sketch of the Refreshment Rooms,
and then dispatches the landly to France to
see how afi‘airs are managed there. She re-
turns afid her servants are called to hear her
report:
BRITISH AND FRENCH nernasmrnu’r ROOMS.
Our Missis returned. It got circulated
among the young ladies, and it as it might be
penetrated to me through the crevices oi the
Bandoliniug Room, that she had OIrrors to
reveal, if revelations so contemptible could
be dignified with the name. Agitation be-
came awakened. Excitementwas in the stir-
rups. Expectation stood on tiptoc. At
length ithas put forth that on our slackest
evening in the week, and at our slackest time
of that evening, betwixt trains, Our Missis
would give her views of foreign refreshment--
ing, in the Bandoliniug Room.
* * * “I should not enter,ladies," says
our Missis, “on the revolting disclosures 1
am about to make, if it was not in the hope
that they will cause you to be .yet fmore‘im- .
placable in the exercise of the pher- you
wield in a constitutional country,- and yet
more devoted to the constitutional motto
which Isee before me ;" it was behind her,
but the words sounded better so; E‘May Al-
bion never learn.” : . ,I I

mired it, and cried, “ Hear! hear! hear i’"

chorus, got himself frowned dovvn by every
brow. _. ' -
“The baseness oi the French " pursued our
of their Refreshmentiug, equals if not sur-
passes anything as was ever heard of the
aseness of the celebrated Bounaparte.”
Miss Whifl‘,Mis Pifi', and'me. we drored a
heavy breath, equal to saying. “We thought
as much! . Miss Whifi and Miss Pifl seem-
ing to object to my droring mine along with
theirs, I drored another to aggravate ’em.
“Shall I be' believed." says our Missis, with
flashin eyes, “when I tell you that no soon-

thinking aloud, says in a low voice: “Feel.

TheIcowering that came. upon ibim when-
he was spurned by all eyes, added to his be-
ing beneath contempt, was sufficient punish-
ment for a cove so groveling. In the midst
ofa silence rendered more impressive by the
turned up female noses with which it was
prevaded. Onr Missis went on : .
“Shall I' be believed when I tell you that
no sooner had I landed,” this word with a
killing look at . Sniff, “on. that treacherous
shore, than I was ushered into a Refresh-a,
A groan burst from the ladies. I not only
did myself the honor of jining, but also of
ion henlng it out. - :.
“ here there were," Our Missis added,
“not only eatable things to eat, but also
drinkable things to drink l” '
A murmur, swelling almost into a‘scream,
sriz. Miss Plfi, trembling with indignation,
called out : “Name !"
“1m?! name,” said our Missis. “There
was roast fowls, hot and cold; there was
I smokingIroasi veal surrounded with brown. '
ed potatoes - there was hot'sou with in
I ask shall I be credited ?) nothing high,
it, and no flour to choke off the consumer -
there was a variety of cold dishes set ofI‘
with jell ; there was Isaiad;-there was—l

fruit. There was bottles andidecauters of
sound small wine, of every size and adapted
to every pocket; the same odious statement
will apply to brandy rand these were set
out upon the counter so that all could help
themselves.”
Cur Missis’s lips so quivered,.lhat Mrs.
Sniff, though scarcely less convulsed than
she Were, got up and held the tumbler to
them.
“This,” proceeds Our Missis, “was my first
unconstitutional experience. Well would it
have been. if it had been my last and worst.
But no. As I proceeded further into that
enslaved and ignorant land, its aspect be-
came more hideous. I need not explain to
