Affairs around the olliee of 1he S igoant-nt-An h if the House are beginning i take on an nl.v 1hA The oom mittee :f the House, whieh has been investigating the defalcation of tho abscond ing cashier Silcott, in its par tial report 'tells enough about the loose way of doing lusinoss in that olliee to sun prise people, and everybody knows that the committee discovert d a good many things which it ha,s not told beenuse.niomborsand ox-mein bers of the House are inixen up tvitli them. This myste ry should bent once and without delay swept away. Matters have arrived at the stage where it will be for bet ter to make public, every thing the committe has found out than to attempt to smother up things, as has been done. This smother ing policy has resulted al ready in tilling the air with rumors charging all sorts of things against various gen tlemen of prominence in both narties. In the meantime Silcott is the Lord, only knows where, and the books show a shortage of about $ 71.000. If tho action or rather want of action on ttie p;p't of those most concerned may be taken as a. basis of opinion, Sileott's defalcation was no legal crime. He has however, been indicted by tho grand jury of this city for foi-.rerv. and if Ins where- n,, i.n ,i;.v,..-e,i hn (llHUVn I 111! ' vr,.. I may be brought back.

Tin1 Senate has so far con firmed very few of Mr Han i son's nominations, ;nid against some of them there is a very active fight being made, notably Morgan, Com missioner of Indian affairs, and Dorchester, superinten dent of Indian schools. It would not be surprising if these two are rejected. A committoe of tin1 House has been appointed to try and run down the scoundrels who committed the forger ies on the notorious ballot box contract, which was used in the recent Ohio campaign. Honest men of both parties will earnestly wish the coin mi t tee Good speed in itsgood work. The House committee on Elections having perfected an organization, the stream of perjury in the contested election cases will begin to flow this week. Justice Lamar of the su preme Court has accepted an invitation to deliver an ad dress to a mass meeting of the citizens of Richmond Va. on the life and character of the late Jefferson Davis.
