John Quincy Adams in his report on the impeachment of George Smith takes this view ot the Under the new dispensation a Congress man's high crimes oat-tow in two years; a short spell of good hiding makes him safe. Letthc ideas of November decide. The in vestigation to now transferred from the guilty participants to the people themselves. We can safely trust the court of tost resort We toy before our readers to day, the re port of the Committee on Commerce, of the United States House of Bepresaatatives, upon the Atlantic and Great Western Canal bill. This report was adopted unanimously by the committee and to now spread upon the Journals of Congress. It is very full sod strong in its commendation of thb great national work, and we hope it will be care fully read. It contains many interesting facta. The committee justly states that for yean past the South has been entirely neglec ted by the U. 8. Government. Its harbors have been permitted to fill up, Its riven to become "waste-waten”—and its industrial pursuits to languish. That portion of relative to the product of cotton merits special attention. Indeed the whole report Is worthy of the most careful consideration. It presents points of the deepest interest, not only to this Stale and section but to the whole country. It to not probable that any further action will be taken upon the matter during the present semkm. The Senate has, however, appointed ■ special committee to examine and report upon the measure, and it is not improbable that this committee will be author ized to set daring the receas. In thii we would suggest that Atlanta would be pos sibly the best point for the committee to hold Us session and In behalf of our citizens, we extend to them a cordial Invitation meet here. The Petersburg mine of the war daya was nothing to it And it has exploded. The report was hardly is loud and rip-rmrions we expected. But it has made quito a hulla balloo. The thing to rattling around the Ex ecutive's sconce right lively. We mean the tornado that the office settle, men t matter has been brewing, and lamed loose at the proper time. It was inevitable. It had to come; Three or four thousand powder magazine* have lest inbred combustibility than tho dements Work on Hilt Smith on the office matter. And it has come. And it will past The thunder of the explosion Is roaring. The debris of the bunt are hurtling In the air. But the thing win serene down. There were too few offices to fill, and too many applicants to fill them, far the filling to pass over serenely. A mas* wit certain. Now, in ail seriousness, the matter resolves itself simply Into thb: The selection of in cumbents must stand or fall by the tested merit of tho appointments. Time will (how this up. Let us wait, therefore. The only other question is this: Did Gov ernor Smith too any bod faith f If so, he deserve* censure. But let us have specifica tions. Let the deceived coma to the front with tho.facts. If not, let any general, and vague insinuations stop.

The weather this week has been colder than any one in the past four week*, and we may have abont the ume kind for two weeks to come, with likely some snow.

The market in New York has been dull all the week; sales GjOOO bales, with a decline of an % of a cent; the same causes affecting the market that prevailed tost week, and which we gave in No. 25. The Liverpool market to the same as it been for four weeks, and governed by the same causes. The market opened on Honday with a little better feeling, but the receipts of 20,741 bales at New Orleans that day ciine upon it like a “wet blanket” and knocked all the life out of that and the New York market too. Many persons expected the receipts for the week to be 123,000, the New York estimate was 115,000, our estimate was exactly correct at all the porta except New Orleans, at that port wc expected 46,000 and they came56,000. There are now 5,31000 bales of American cotton afloat for Liverpool of which 00,000 will be due this week: The river at New Orleans to now seven feet below high water mark of 18?l,compared with ten, eleven and twelve, for three weeks back, many persona believe, that the three feet rise In the river and the large receipts on Honday were caused by the Mardl Gras, we think one to aa likely, a* the other, and r.

D. CL Feb. 25 Aa enor mous crowd flocked to the Capitol to-day to hear the discussion of the Credit Hobiiier report. Long before the regular hour of badness, the galleries were full to overflow, many persons standing outside the doors, and many more going away in despair of gaining admission. The reporter’s galley was invaded by some hocus-poems with a crowd of ladies, bum mers sod shysters, who affect to be newspa per men, claim agents, restaurant keepers, sad Washington trade people, who have the men retame of the city ring. Thanks to Hr. Cox and the usual laxity of admission, the floor of tho House was also converted into a sort of circus crowd. Congressmen, Credit Hobiiier and otherwise, todies, claim agents, children and a varied heterogeneous mob, mtfcimr m & motley kcm meet appropriate to the dramatic washing of dirty linen by a Republican Congress. AH around was a sea of human beads. The Credit Hobiiier gen- try were each and all in their usual places, Oakes Ames. Bingham, Garfield, Brooks, Dawes and Scofield, and were of comae the observed of all observers. Oakes Ames, more modest than the rest, shaded his face with bis hand most of the time. As a judicial trial, the proceeding to the merest farce. The two bouses are rotton to the core. The large Republican vote against the impeachment of Colfax, after the dearest proof of hto peijnry and corruption, proved this fact; and tho report of the Judiciary Committee on yesterday, in which ” Voorbccs and Kldridge banded themselves with Butler to get Colfax off on grounds which would acquit the whole party of Cred it Hobiiier Congressmen, showed powerful influences at work to screen the guilty men. The speaker has for weeks been actively at work exerting bis powerful lnfioence to breakdown the whole proceedings. Ben Bntier is generally believed to be work ing for Ames, not without a promise of lib eral reward; and besides this, as the testimo ny proves that for a'.fee of six thousand dol lars he advised and planned the machinery of the Credit H bDicr Company, being all the while a member of Congress, it to to bis direct Merest to quash this indictment.

Tho miserable partioan sham has reached the anticipated farcical denouement. When Oakes Ames declared that if they took hto scalp, there would be many bold-headed men in Washington, he know hto audience. That dreadful memorandum book of his to still the air-drawn dagger before their Macbeth ton eyes; and he knew that the men who are knee-deep In the various land-grant and subtidy schemes dare not expel him. And so the national degradation was capped at tost. The pasonal disposition ot the rotten leaden of Radicalism to of leu Importance than the effects ot this horrid job of white washing on public sentiment. After it wu dearly proven that these men were guilty of outrageous, unmitigated corruption—that they were bribers or among the bribed—that, in consideration of their position and pro spective services, they received ten or more shares at a price that the two first dividends mare than balanced—that they paid no money for tho stock, as a rule, relying upon-the sudden and enormous dividends which they well knew were stolen from the people they had sworn to servo—that, in the heat of a Presidential canvass, they unscrupulously lied about their connection with the villalnoas corporation— that their subsequent tergivserations and foolish! thovingvback of the stock on the great briber from Xastachnsetta were only attempted retreats in the hour of danger- after all these facts were made manifest, plain and undeniable, what win be the effect of the distressing result on the public mind? Will the constitucnces agree with their represen tative! that honor and honesty are no longer essential in the public service? The action of Ooogrees to bad enough, ire admit. It was thought that the Poland Com mittee found the depths of partisan ness when they left untouched by reported resolution men who, according to the com mon testimony, were sa guilty as Brooks ex cept in degree. The latter took one hundred and fifty shares, while Dawes, Garfield, Scho field and Kelley only got ten shares, but Bing ham went for twenty abates, and Patterson took in thirty shares. Brooks demanded a larger price, and be did not indulge in any fimuey subsequent “settlements" with the When the report came np for considera tion a little lower depth of infamy area un earthed. Ames was right; the principals were simply censured; and the rest of the scoundrels, who had permitted the nation to be swindled out of thirty millions of doff; through a machine in which they were pro log partners, went forth as moat honorable men. This Is bed, Tory bad; but we should not despair of the Republic until the people have an opportunity to speak. If these men are returned, as Garfield brags that he will be, then, indeed, we miy cease to hope. Bat the very effrontery of Congress and the insight Of.Congrtaskmal villiany that has been gained will, we are confident, lead to resells that will cleanse the Augean subles ot Washington. General Gordon very ahrcwdly and (rightly said that the surest way to reach Yankee minds is to tooth their pockets. The Credit Hobiiier his touched their pockets beauti fully, and they know it, now. Before we dismiss the unpleasant subject let us look at General Bulisps expert excuse for letting the convicted go. Never did hto cunning in the defense of criminals find a richer opportunity.

Mr. Etdridgc’s support of Ibo Shepherd _jd Cooke ring in this citf has cost him in a large measure the confidence ol the Demo crats. Not a few members are believed lobe so fettered that they dare not give an fad a- pendent vote on this or any similar question. Putting everything together, the personal in fluence of these chairmen of the commute® and the confluences personal and otherwise arrayed against an honest jodgment, few persons have anticipated from cither the noose or the Senate anything worthy of this occasion on the questions involved. THE DEBATE. The first adroit maneuver’ wu made to day by Ben Butler’s proposing as a substitute to refer the testimony in all these cases to President Grant’s attorney for this district, and a grand j uiy tofbe packed by his brother- in-law, the United Slat® Marshal. Even Judge Poland saw through this maneuver, and refused to let the amendment be offered. Judge Poland then spoke for an hour and a half to a profoundly attentive house. Hto speech was an unanswerable demonstration of the guilt of Am® and Brooks, and he had the grace to forbear any special vindication of their associates. Tho speech wu deliv ered with much earnestness, but was on the whole duller than the large auditory had ex pected. He showed by precedence that par liamentary power existed for Congress to expel for antecedent offenses, and made a good hit at Butler by speaking of him u the inventor of the Credit Hobiiier scheme. When Judge Poland bail concluded hto hour and a half. Am®’ defense wu read fa a grand and cicquentatyle by Mr. McPherson the House Clerk. This defense was lame, tho only good point being that he coultl not hare been guilty of bribery without tho othersbefagabocriminal for acceptance of the stock.

The hope of many Republicans to that the Democrats will vote to acquit Brooks, and ao give them a pretext for vot ing to whitewash the entire crowd who went in for a good thing. . With these speeches, the subject wu re- milted to the evening session for debate only. A vote will probably be reached some time to-morrow.

A Go*4 Story About Bab Toombs* ol Georgia—Bob’o Opinion ol lUint From the Key York World.] A gossipy correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial writing from Atlanta, gim the fafiowing: The fiery and untamed Toombs has been here several daya swearing at hto ezemia and being jolly with hto friends by turns. He to of a lively and social disposition, and when surrounded by a dozen gay and festive companions, his tongue runs like a bell clap per. Sometinna he talks sense and some- times nonsense. He can talk either about as well aa any man in Georgia. I heard a story about Toombs the other night which datrnx a place fa history. A gang of legislators were around a festive board exchanging ideas and cigar stumps. Just at the dose ol Ihe war, said one, rhose time it wu to tell something, “ Toombs came down into our county to get away from the Yankees. They had destroyed hto pro- perty and were after him with sharp sticks. He stopped at my uncle’a sad pretended to be a rich South Carolina planter, moving about for bis health. Ho shaved close, cu ; hto hair short and wore a broad-brimmed slouch bat. Nobody tat my uncle knew who be was. My undo kept a little county postofflee, and the nefghbora used to come in read the papers. One day one ot them sat down by Old Rob and read the particulars of Toombs’ flight to Cuba, for it was reported that he had gone there. Old Bob litened attentively. "I knew Toombs w® oo sharp to stay here and let toe Yankees catch him." said the innocent reader; "he’ll spend bis days in Cuba. He to gone now, tat I tell you, boy-, ho was one of the smartest men wc ever had in this country.” "Yes,” arid To*m>, looking is innocent as a lamb, "he wu a pretty smart man; I knew him very welt He wu a little Peculiar sometimes, tat aa big a hearted fel- owas ever raised a tan of cotton. I wonder what the Yankees would do if they should catch him?" “They would hang him to the nearest Umb," put in ooe of the boys. “And I ain’t sure tat they ought to," put in anotUbr. At this Toombs launched into an eloquent de- fence of Toombs, the best I ever heard, and uid he woo d yet walk on Georgia sou and toy hit bon® under Georgia soil. The old fellow wanned up considerably, and my uncle, seeing ttat the conversation wu taking a rather personal turn, changed it. Toombs d with us a month, and wu known only to one man. He heard himself talked about more fa that month, probably, than ever before.

The action of the committee wu cither shilly- ahaffy or done intentionally to screen promi nent Radial members and the Vice Prcsi- snt Brooks and Am® are the tubs thrown over board to the whale, public opinion.

If done to uve Mobilier lame ducks, and it looks very like it, the thing .has faffed; the peo ple hare seen too much to take kindly to the 'ualneas. Tho Democrats are ao with the report, that Messrs. Kiblack and Merrick will hare to explain the why and wherefore of their consenting to it, the impression bring general that they were ofitwitted in the business. Both of them are most excellent gentlemen and were entirely unbiased by party considerations. 8o many questions and interests, legal, per- . - - political, enter into this it no one can predict with any degree of certainty whit result win be; though I bold that there will be no expulsions, with Ben Butler on one side and Daniel W.

KING HEX entered,to-day hto Royal Capital for the second time. His Majesty’s tri-colored flag of purple, gold and green wu everywhere apparent Tho people far and near-tamed out to receive him with all honor, giving themselves up to unrestrained jollity an! freedom from corroding care. Early in the morning individual maskers and independent groups began to spring up oil ov® the dty. and vehiclra loaded with the gay revelers eame from mysterious sources. Tho view from Dr. Stout's balcony wu an imposing one—embracing at a glance the great centra boulevard, the tre® and the Clay statute, the balconies and the housetops—all filled to re pletion, with a heterogeneous multitude for hours before Tns PBOCKSSION moved. The King disembarked with his guard of honor, promptly, and proceeded at once to the City Hail, where the keys of the city were surrendered—acd much champagne consumed. Aft® the mann® of kings it then pleased hto royal highness to ord® the arrest ol tho Mayor and hto friend. General Walton, that they might grace hto triumphal passage through the city.

Two companies of valiant Turco3 attracted gen eral attention, which, hower®, wu loon lost in the advent of royalty itself. His Majesty rode in a hollow square of bis trusty guards, a white charger, magnificently ca parisoned. He wore an Egyptian frock of surpassing beanty, and hto kingly head bore a golden helmet, surmounted by a crown, while bis royal band beld the golden sceptre. 'Hie royal navy Including twelve ships of the line, and the various followers of the Monarch canto next, organized into six DIVISIONS. To adequately describe these In the time at our command before the mail closes to im- possibia It would be farcari® to state what they did not include than to state what they did. At the head of the second division rode the Lord High Mast® of the Horse, followed by the Baeuf Gras, a blood-red etc® that weighed 2200 pounds, by a large body of mounted ox-oneans and dashing vaquroe, and by Knights and Indians bestriding their hors® in various amuses ways. THIRD DIVISION. The Lord of Ihe Carriages led a fine pro cession of vehicular contrivances. Shake speare’s seven ages of man were excellently portrayed in u many tableaux*, and much more that we cannot stop to mention. FOURTH DIVISION. The Lord of the Van’s following wu a very grotesque and motley one. Negro min strelsy, the heathen Chinee, the Ku-KIux, the ancient scbooimist®. Jack the Giant Kill®, and a score of oth® subjects were presented to the merry throngs of uproar- rious people. THE FIFTH DTYISIOH. was the advertising division. The Lord High Sheriff of the Guilds had by far the * section. The number of His Majesty's len wu surprising. Carre’s rural cabins, seven in numb®, containing tenants lunulng thrir ordinary avocations; the sew- ng machine wagons: the great float bearing advertisement of the Kansu Pacific Railway, and an Immense targe and grain elevator on wheels, divided the public attention. SIXTH DIVISION. The Lord of the Unattached brought np the rear with a medley gathered from tho New Orleans, February 26,1873. When wo left tho Central Boulevard for dinner yesterday It _ was foil of a swaying, good-natured mosa of people. Tho Clay Statue, in particular, was a picturesque sight all sizes, colors, ag® and conditions were grouped about it, ono man being fairly atab- lialicd under the enormous coat tails of tho sculptured sage; When we returned to Dr. Stout’a balcony, in the evening, os many peo ple were in the streets; It was full; and tho thought was, are these the same; that wo saw in the afternoon? Thousands of themun- donbtcdly were. By8o*riock the crowd be- came so dense that it was well nigh impene trable, especially In tho neighborhood of SL Chari® and Carondelct streets. There are crowd* in every country; but in what oth® city will you s<e such loaded balconi®, tier uponti®—such a display of dazzling lights and transendant beauty abovo the floodtide of humanity in the street ? Tho memory of theiccnc will last ns long® than tho wonders of Comns.

They did not appear to havo any particular businms to occupy their time, except card playing, and to mako night hideous by firing off pto- tols. Two of this gang, named Sam Wright and ono HcCtelicn, a few nights ago, went into the store of ono J essic Williams, a qniet, honest sort of a citizen, and proceeded to snatch things generally, shooting WUliama and driving him out of tho store. Having torn things up and gutted the store, they started ov® to a saloon kept by Chris Gilson, and found thst redoubtable in dividual snugly ensconced between a pair of Government blankets in his bunk in a com® of his thick canvas tent. They placed their revolvers to Chris’ head and ordered him to roll out of bed and giro up his money. But Chris wu not to bo frustrated in thb man- n®. Ho got coolly out of bod and offered the ruffians the hospiulilimof hto bar, which they accepted and finally became good-na tured and left him in peace. Aft® they had left, Gilson prepared for them in case they relumed, which they Hid about four o’clock in the morning. They caught Chris napping and effected an entrance to hto saloon, caught an old man there and robbed him of his money. After helping themselves again to whisky, they determined to close thrir night’s spree by shooting oil the top of Gil- son’s head. But Gilson had again made himself pre pared for any emergency, and wu watching them from qp adjoining tent Aa soonu they came opposite the tent he stepped out with a shot-gun in his hands, and before Wright wu aware of his danger, fired a heavy chargo of buckshot into hto breast. “Big Jack,” the oth® desperado, on witness ing the fate of Wright, started to nto away. But Gilson wu too quick for him. Turning hto gun upon the retreating ruffian, hc.'ponred a load of two-ounco shot into him, bringing him down. MeClellen on hearing the firing, and find ing that two of hto gang had already fallen, determined to wipe oat Gilson, and with that intention started forth with a Henry rifle, dnly loaded and primed, determined to try hto hand. But Gilson wu on the alert for danger: standing in bis tent, ho immediately loaded hto gtm, and wailed. McCicllen wu just entering the tent, expecting to take Gil son by surprise, when tho latter emptied a load ot buckshot into him. HcClcilen then tamed and started to run, but the saloon keep® wu determined to leave no part of hto deadly work undone, followed up the wound ed man and shot him again; this time killing him instantly. By this time the little frontier town wu pretty well livened up and awake. The citi zens gathered togeth®. and after inquiring into the affair, paued tho following resolu- lions: Resolved, That Chria.

String®, 8r., the f*Ui® ot D. M. String®, Jr, who wu so outrageously murdered in Waltao county, Georgia, on Friday, the 24th instant, received the sad intelligence at hto quiet homo in Gainesville on Sunday night following about 13 o'clock. The effect produced on a loving fath®, a fond mother and devoted brothers and sister* can belt® bo imagined than described. On Monday morning, early, Mr. Stringer started to look aft® hto dead son. He received in formation on the way that two yonng men, by the name of Jam® and Lovick Allan bad committed the foul deed. Uo round Lovick Allan on hto way to the place of rnurd®, and carried him before one Justice Mobley, of said county, who famed a warrant and bad arrest duly endorsed thereon. Justice Mobley associated with him another Justico by tbc name of Sbcilnut. Mr. String® found ont from all the wltneu® that hto eon had done no greater crime foe which hto life paid the forfeit than that ho bad endeavored to part two drunken bcitig- ctent cousins by the name of Clurl® Pon der and Lovick Allan, mentioned above. Several witness® were Introduced for the State and tho defense, tat all seemed Ignorant of the facta or unwilling to atato them soasio locate by their testimony who committed the outrageous murder; but this much inked ont from und® the dim curtain endeavored to bo thrown around the whoto transaction: Lovick Allan’s knife; covered with the gore of yonng String®, wu found to his (yonng Stringer's) pocket, and blood oq the outside, immediately at the entrance, of hto pocket, showing that the assassin's hands, or at teutons of them, had deposited this knife there aft® ft had done its hellish work. Thla fact, taken in consideration with the furth® fact that Lovick Allan wu in the fight, it seems would have been sufficient evidence to have bound Lovick Allan ov® any unbiasod tribunal and more apccially ao when Lovick Allan himself wu wounded fa tho melee. It will be recollected that Jam® Allan wu not before the court, he having fled tho country immediately aft® tho killing. But with all theso facta staring the Justice* fa the fact they released Lovick Allan and threw tho heart-broken fath® in the costa.
