Ir.. stead of Gov Muieheead who was to be bunted down by the itivestioation !- turned out that the evidence exonerated him and implicated men of their own political party. This was a coutinr-eney not profiled for; but the party is fruitful in expedients, and nn snnner was ihn eon irt nrcaeoted -Inn lie- I k ;.w,,lU -l...J ,V,. ir ..-(ioa Ir.. mecratic Senatois battleJ furiously a.-ain.-t it being priuted until they could eet up a minority lit pott to append to it. Four mem bers two Whi and two Democrats sij.n. ed the Report. Vat Democrat (Mr. (Jrecn of Franklin) did not sign it, ami from him the party Bnally obtained a minority Re port, just H0 lines in length which conclu-idvi-ly shows that be knew very little on the subject, and that little not at all in conflict with the Report; that he de-paired of wad in it throuj-h "the many larce folios and files of papers truly formidable," wnd there-! fore because be supposed he could not do all he would do noihinrr. lie ssvs in bis minority Id port, that " nv Rt port this Committee n.iht make tinder such circum- stances would be greatly wanting in tho-: rm.rrhn.aa pnmnlsi.n... and it,i r,a i tialit v " and yet, when questioned in the House by Mr. .'..r.l,ss.

Mr. Woith's Rcpott was not read in the I Sennte Il.it Domneretia Senators insisted. ! though not successfully we believe, upon framing Io Mr. Fisher the unheard-of re quest to be permitted to read it in advance of its priming-, that be might prepare a re ply to it. When be did present his reply, iis reading wis commenced, but bad not proceeded fai before a scene of violence and confusion, unparalleled in our Assembly, occurred. We have seen but a p artial ac count of this scene, perhaps not enough upou which to ba"e a sound opinion. But it appears to us to have grown out of the obstacles interposed to the printing and rinding of Mr. Wortb'a report. We do not approve of Legislative rows, but shall not be surprised lo learn that the violence of tbe opposition was palliated if not justified by the Ueatuieut they had previously re eeived. Having thus aa briefly as possible detailed tbe surrounding facts, we now turu to Mr. Worth's Report. Soon after the committee was appointed. Got. Bragg, laid before it a letter from Mr. Fitter, dated Deo. 9, in which Lo tUU-d 5-nt detailed Report of !
