If she would strive to please ’ an, to snrpib.e him, in make him happy, ho is mad If she does not aitt..vs appear neat, smiling, happy and uitractive, he is cross and ugly.

Mr. Glover expresses himself much pleased with the manner in which the Presi dent met his views. He assured the President that his object was not to make party capital, but to purify the Government. The committee on Kxpenditnres in the Treasury Department, of which Mr. Glover is chairman, passed, later in ihe day, the following resolution: Jicsofrerf, That the President be anil is beiebv requested to co-oper ate with this committee in its inves tigations of alleged abuses in the Treasury Department, and to issue the orders neceseary for that pur pose.

Treasury Department, Washing ton, 1). C., J n. 21 -To the Hon. Jlut/ierfortl J}. Hayes, President of the United {States—Sir: It is painful, yet true, that for years the Execu tive Departments of the Federal Government gliave been increasingly cormpt and oppressive, and that the rights and liberties of citizens have b cn tramphd on without redress hi those departments of administnuion, while organized combinations in every department have existed in I no- method of insuring secrecy tor cor rupt and oppres-ive practices has become habitual, and goes to an ! unspeakably cruel and infamdns ex treme, while its ingenuity is remark able It is a fact that men walk the streets of Washington to-day whose families and selves are in danger of hunger and homelessness through the persecution which they have suffered for telling the truth, while many others bear in tlieir minds the knowl edge of wrong whereof theyTlrc in nocent, but which, seeing the*fate of those who have been brave, they dare not tell. Believing that you are anxious to end this terrible state of things, for which you are notj&jpon- sible, and that you ap^M-eciftiethe necessity for Congressional investi gation and ascertainment of facts, before remedies, legislature or ad ministrative, can be applied, or even shown, I would call your attention to the resolutions introduced by me and passed by the House of Representa tives, the 11 tli instant, and directing the needful investigations, which were provided for under the Presi dency of Mr. Madison, but for many years neglected, till of late begun. I shall goon, believing also that you are desirous to stop, and as far as practicable redress, the outrages whereby honest men and women are prevented from telling the tru h about misdeeds by persons connected with the government. I transmit herewith a resolution adopted bv the committee on expenditures in the Treasury Department, and respect fully ask that you will, at the earli est practicable moment, take the steps needful to aid not only my committee, but all the committees of the houses, in t: eir efforts to ascer tain facts vuncerniiig alleged aliases, and that you will give assurances that witnesses ill be protected. Should 1 J you take ibis course, you will do much to enable the investigations of the House to conform the high standard of patriotism, thoroughness and iittj artiality, where they should and will earn the esteem and grati j tude of your countrymen.
