THE POLICE DILI, CORRUPTION COMMITTEE. The investigation of the allegol use of corrupt uieanu to pass tbe Metropolitan Police bill, on the one Land, and to defeat il on the other, dragH heavily. Tho committee is dwplayotl an infinitesimal amount of zeal and energy.

Home time lapsed bofore it even held the first at which the extraordinary discovery was made that nothing could be done on aoeonnt of the failure to provide in advance for a clork. Thou thin difficulty had to be diseased in the Legislature, but despite the refusal to ruakedi'finite pro vision for a clork, the committee by extraordinary eiTort, to secure one, and a meeting was held in this city on Monday last, i at which the Mayor and the Miyor'a Clerk I and Chief Kelly appeared as witn esses. No! very important disclosures were made at this session, and the chief items of information elicited were a statement from the Mayor that he "did not know of any assessment being made upon tho members of the present police force," and an acknowledgment by tho Mayor's Clerk and Chief Kelly that an assessment had bocu made on the last November warrants, for the improper but comparatively innocent purpose of paying the expenses of the contested election. When the committee had progressed thus far, they adjourned to meet again at the call of the chairman, and we believe it is con-Hidered probable (but by no means certain) that they will hold another meeting ou next Saturday. At this rate of progress the ses-sion will expire long before the marrow of this case is penetrated, and tho investigation promises to prove either utterly barren in results, or a whitewashing affair designed to leave on the public mind the impression that no corrupt means were employed on either side.

It is high time that the odpbe showed some vim in rjjV'i" 3 Ks tank. It should probe corruption by the most searching investigations, and pry into tho secret history of all the suspicious transactions alleged to be connected with the Police bill. If the committee does not speedily commence its task in real earnest, the public will be forced to the conclusion that the rival parlios are mutually afraid of each other, and prefer smothering the whole affair to the danger of disclosing the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. The public interests require that not only the Republican but the Democratic version of the dispute should be heard. If levies have been made on the police to defeat the bill by corrupt meaus, the committee should certainly be able to discover and disclose the fact.

And if, on tho other hand, the supporters of the bill cannot show a clear record, their misdeeds should be fearlessly exposed. The immaculate Josephs declared in the House that if the committee wished to know how the bill passed, he knew of persons who were at llarrisburg at the time with money which might be used for that purpose. He should be summoned to give this information, aud while he is on the witness stand, and under oath, perhaps he could give a more complete history of the Democratic plan of operations than that which he volunteered in debate, A correspondent also suggests to us that if Messrs. Connell, Henszey, Hong, and Elliott (members of the Senate or House), and Messrs. Itittenhouse, Weidener, and Taylor, were summoned to appear as witnesses, they could render important service in explaining the causes of the final defeat of the Tolica bill as well as tbe means used to secure its passage, ne thinks Mr.

nenszey might toll the committee why he would rather havo the bill vetoed than allow the Governor to appoint the commissioners; that Mr. Connell might explain the peculiar reasons for tho selection of Mr. Weiedner as one of the commissioners; that Mr. Hong might explain Itittenhouse 's promise to "divide" proceeds; that Mr. Taylor might give the reasons why the ring thought him an available candidate for Chief of Police, as well as the method in which money was to bo raised from the new appointees to redeem promises mado to secure the passage of the bill, and to loave a large margin of profit for its champions.

Various candidates for official positions might also be called upon to explain the nature of their arrangements with the would-be commissioners who were kept out of offioe by the veto, and the character of a long row of magnificent air-castles which were founded on the bill, as well as the extent to which the ring was discomfited by the action of the Governor. Why don't the committee hurry up aud enlighten the people on all these interesting subjects? THE UNITED STATES AND CUBA. The official correspondence with regard to Cuba that has just been published places the administration before the country in the most favorable light, and the manner in which Mr, Fish has watched over the interests of the United States, and of human liberty as represented by the struggle in Cuba, will meet with the approval of all but a few foul- mouthed demagogues like Mungen, of Ohio, whose abuse, however, will be more compli iuontary than their praise. It is evident that the interest in the Cuban insurrection has abated very decidedly in this country, and Mr. Fish states the case clearly and plainly when he attributes this lu a great measure to tha flagrant violations of the law by tho agents of the Insurgents, and he shows what the sentiments of tho Prosldont and his counsellors are by doclaring that had tho Cuban Junta exponded their money and energies in sending to the insurgents arms and munitions of war, as they might have done consistently with our statutes and tho law of sations, instead of devoting themselves to deliberate violations of the laws of the United States, and had they, in lieu of illegally employing persons within tho dominions of tho United States to go armed bands to Cuba, procoodod thither un-armed themselves, to take personal part in tho struggle for independence, it is possible tho result would have boen different in Cuba, and it is certain that there would have been a more ardent feeling in the United States in favor of their cause, and more rospoct for their sincerity and porsonal courage.

The views of Mr. Fish are such as will bo concurred in by the people of the United States without cavil, for thoy are consistent with sound statesmanship and common sense. At tho breaking out of the Cuban rebollion, the sympathies of this country were largely enlisted on the sido of tho insurrectionists, and the President and Secretary of State indicated very plainly that they coincidod with the popular feeling, and that they were disposed to aid the Cubans in evory way that they consistently could without improperly compromising tho Government. Had tho revolutionists shown themselves worthy of the support of the United States, they would certainly have had it, and the probabilities are that long ere this their independence would have been recognized. They found it much easier, however, to fight tho Spaniards from New York and Philadelphia, rather than by shouldering their muskets and taking tho field in Cuba.

They displayed their patriotic impulses by running away from danger with all tho goods they could gather together, and by urging upon the 1 people of the United States to undertake the task of liberating Cuba, while they snuffed the smoke of battle from afar. Under these circumstances it is not a matter for surprise that interest in the Cubau revolution should die out in this country, much as we are desirous of seeing tho Spanish dominion ou that island being brought to an end. This is only another exemplification of the saying that who would bo ceo themselves must strike the blow." THE "CONGRESSIONAL OI.OUE." Among the "minor sins" of Congress is tho practice of permitting members to print in the Congressional Globe speeches that have never been delivered upou the lloor of either house. This evil gradually grew out of tho apparently Larmloss custom of revising fipeeehes before publication for the purpose of correcting those little grammatical inaccuracies and inelegancios of language that even the most polished orators cannot altogether avoid in extemporaneous speaking. No ono would object to this custom if it could bo kept within bounds; but, like the franking privilege and other matters thnt were well enough as originally intended, the revision of speeches for tho Globe has grown to be an outrageous nuisance that calls for a reform.

Members were not content merely to correct their speeches, but they began to put into them new matter that sometimes altered their purport entirely, and then the next step was to obtain the permission of the House or Senate to print speeches that had never been delivered. The pretext for this abuse was that by granting such permission the time of the Senate and House was not taken up by long and often irrelevant orat'ons delivered for buncombe, and that the roul business of Con gress was thereby less impeded than it would bo if every member who wished to place himself on record were required to address the House in person. Tho consequence of this arrangement is that the Globe in no respect represents the proceedings of Congress, and it loses all value as an historical record. A great ex pense is also entailed upon tho taxpayers of the country for no other purpose than to gratify the vanity of members and to advertise them with their constituents. The abuse of the privileges of the Globe has at length grown to be such an ovil as to elicit a very decided call for reform, but members of Congress are loth to part with any of their perquisites, and notwithstanding the unanimous opinion of the press of the country, the custom of printing unspoken "speeches" in the Globe will be likely to continuo indefinitely unless sorno unusually outragoous ocourrence renders it necessary for Congress to take some decided action for tho Bako of its own dignity and credit.

It is the last straw that breaks the camel's back, and the straw in this instance is Hon. William Mungen, Democratic member of the Houe of Representatives from Ohio, who has achieved a temporary notoriety by printing in the Globe an indecent and abusive tirade against the administration 'and Senator Sumner. The attention of the House was yesterday called to Mungen's speech by Mr. Dawes, of Massachusetts, and in the uual roundabout way of settling such matters by Congress, a resolution was adopted instructing tho Committeo on Rules to inquire whether Mungen had not violated the privileges of the House, aud whether the speech should bo allowed to go into the permanent form of tho Qhbe. This discreditable affair has impressed upon the average Congressional mind tho necessity for preventing such occurrences in tho future, and the probabilities are that both houses will adopt rules prohibiting the official publication of speeches that have never been delivered bofore them, in which case Mungen can dio with the satisfaction of knowing that his life has not been spent entirely in vain, but that he has been tho means of bringing about a reform of one of the many abuses that are permitted to exist by our national legislators in spite of the protosts of the people thoy profess to represent.

A noon Hurilnaante. Despatches published in another column announce that Hon. Anson Uurllngamc, Minister Plenipotentiary from China to tho WeHcrn powers, died yesterday in St. Petersburg, where ho was engaged )u the negotiation of a treaty similar to those concluded with the (Jutted States and the European Governments for the admipslon of China into the great family of civilized nations. Mr.

Burlingamc was born November 11, 18'iJ. at New Berlin, State of Now York. His ancestors early came to this country and originally settled iu Rhode Islaud, aud thcuco emigrated to the Interior of New York. Tho Uurlingames figured in the French wars on the American continent about the middle of the eighteenth century, and, subsequently, in the American Revolution of 1770. They were conspicuous for their patriotism and devotion to the cause of Independence, participating in the service of the American navy and shariiur in many ot its gallant exploits.

Mr. IiurlinnAme' father was born in New lferlin, and his mother, now deceased, in Providence, It. I. Ilia mother was a Miss Anel, a descendant of Colonel Israel Angel, the famous tighter of General Greene'b Revolutionary army. When but an infant Mr.

Burlingamc was taken to the "West by his parents, who emigrated to the Wyandotte Indian country, now known as Seneca county, In Northern Ohio. For several years the father was engaged in supplying the army and the people of tho Territory of Michigan with cattle and horses. While the father was thus occupied young Burlingamo assisted in i driving tho cattle, and necessarily led a life of adventure, being oftentimes exposed to the hostility of the Indlaus. The family next settled at Detroit. Young Burlingamo hero started out in life.

As a boy ho accompanied surveying parties as chain carrier and in other useful capacities. lie sat as a boy in the Indiau councils at Mackinac and elsewhere. Ho witnessed treaties with tho Chippewa Indians. Thus, in tho primitive fields of diplomacy, tbe present l'oo-Tajen of tho nation having the oldest in tho world took his first lessons in diplomacy. While in the academy at Detroit ho was a hard student.

On leaving the academy he attended the branch institution of tho University of Michigan. Hero ho went through a regular course and took several prizes for proficiency in his studios. He closed his career at the University by graduating before he was tweuty-ouc years of age. Having selected tho law as his profession in life, Mr. Burlingamc Immediately set to work in its study.

His friends, however, recommended him to attend the law school of Harvard. In 1843 he entered that institution. Hero Mr. Burlingamo Lecamo an LL.D. A short time after Mr.

Burlingame took up his residence in Boston ho commenced tho practice of law, in which he was successful. Ho shortly after engaged iu politics and distinguished himself so that in ISM ho was elected to the Stato Senate. In 185:1 he was a member of tho convention to revise the Constitution of Massachusetts. He was elected a Representative in 1854 to the Thirty-fourth Congress. In 1850 occurred the outrageous assault on Senator Sumner by Preston N.

Brooks, of South Carolina, which, created such an intense excitement In all parts of the country. Brooks threw out a general challenge to any "Yankee mudsill" who might bo disposed to take up the quarrel. This challengo was accepted by Mr. Burlingame, who appointed tho Canada side of Niagara Falls as tho place of meeting. Ou this prompt oltcr to fight him Brooks subsided liko a bully that ho was, and declined tho meeting, ghiog as his reason that it would necessitate a journey through "hostile country." Tho conduct of Mr.

Burlingamc on this occasion mado him more popular than ever at home, and ho was elected by a large majority to represent Massachusetts in the Thirty-fifth Congress. During tlds term ho served as a member of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and dovoted much of his timo to obtaining a thorough knowledge of all tho international relations of the United States. He was ono of tho most efficient members of the committee, and ho was appointed to servo upou it again in the Thirty-sixth Congress, to which he was elected in 1858. Upon tho Inauguration of Mr. Lincoln as President of the United 8tates, In 1801, Mr.

Burlingamo was named Minister to Austria. Having started for his post at Vienna, ho received notification on tho way that the Austrian Government would not roceivo him, for the reason that ho had taken too prominent a part in raising Sardinia from a second to a first class mission. As the United States at the time was about entering upon tho great duty of suppressing treason at home, this indignity was quietly passed over by appointing Mr. Burlingamo as United States Minister near tho Court of tbe Kmperor of China. Towards the cud of 1801 ho arrived at Pokin, and onened relations with the Chinese Government.

After thoroughly vuiuu question, ana diS' cohering tuo abuses which had found tueir way into tne lino of policy followed by outside nations towards the Govern ment oi Uiluu, Mr. Burliuganio at ouco took Isfuo with his colleagues, lu this bold stop he found ftupport In the late Sir Frederick Bruce, M. Berthctny, and the Minister. Thin was laid tho "co-operative policy" which Is now generally recognised by the representatives of foreign governments in China. This was one of tbe atejm which unquestionably induced tho Chinese Government itfclf to make a move In rcfponsc.

Mr. Burlingame prepared tho draft of the cn-opcratlve policy, and explained it, both of which document' wero endorsed by his colleagues. lie also prepared an exposition of the different treaties, analyzing aud cloarlng up many doubtful points. Ho Kculously opposed the wnrcsidons doctrine, localise it proposod to tako concessions of land at tho dlfleront treaty ports. In 1807 the rumor reached Prince Kung, tho head of the Chinese Government, that- Mr.

Burlingame contcmphitcd terminating his resldoneo in China. As soon as ho learned this fact, Prince Kung invited Mr. Burlingame to a farewell banquet at the Tsiinsr-lc-yamcn, or Foreign Office. During the banquet, Wen-tsiang, an Influential man in the empire, speaking to Mr. Burlingame, akcd whether he would represent the Chinese Government officially at the courts of the treaty powers.

Tho question was so unexpected that Mr. Burlingame took it to bo a passing compliment, and replied that ho would do so ns a friend, never dreaming that more was designed. This was, however, accepted by tho Imperial Go vcrnment in a more serious spirit, and a few days after, Mr. J. McLcavy Brown, who was then an attache of tho English Legation at Pekin and was subsequently appointed first secretary of the Burlingamo Embassy, visited Mr.

Burlingame, at the request of Prince Kung, and formally tendered the mission. After considerable deliberation and persuasion Mr. Burlingamo agreed to accept, and the fact was so reported to the Imperial Government. November 21, 1807, an imperial decree promulgated to tho empire the creation of the mission. Chinese Government conferred upon Mr.

Burlingamc tho title of Ambassador, with all tho great powers connected with tho office, which was to last for life. Ho, however, preferred tho title of Envoy, and was accordingly commissioned Envoy Extraordinary and Miuister Plenipotentiary, or in Chinese, Poo-an-chew (Burlin-gnmc Anson) Chin-chl-choong-jen-tachen (min ister of heavy responsibilities). Burlingamo left Pekin on the 25th of November, 1807, escorted by all tho fereign resi dents, including tho members of the diplomatic corps, ho accompanied him to the gates. In tbe suite of Mr. Burlingame were two mandarins, Ching-Tajcn and Suu-Tajeu, and six others from the new collcce at Pekio, together with about twenty others in different capacities.

J. McLcavy Brown, late of the English legation, and Emilo De Champs, late of the French legation, were attached to tbe embassy as secretaries. About forty-tive miles IVkln the party were compelled to stop at i village and tend back to the capital for an escort to pioteet them from a formidable hand of robbers. They were not attacked, however, and arrived safely at Shanghai on the 10th of December, 1S07, and sailed from thence for America on the 25th of tho following February, where they arrived ou the 31st of March, anil were received with great honors. After a brief stay iu Sau Francisco, the embassy proceeded to Washington, and at once entered into negotiations for a treaty, containing additional articles to the treaty of Juno 18, 1858.

On tho 4lh of July tho treaty was signed In Washington; on the 11th It was transmitted to the Senate, which ratified it ou the 10th. This is not the place to enter into tho details of this document, which was, in substance, a recognition on tho part of the United States of the rights of tho Chinese Government and people to the same international amenities and privileges that are enjoyed by all civilized nations, and a repudiation on our part of tho idea that the Chinese are barbarians who have no rights that ought to bo respected. Tho troaty gave much satisfaction in tho United States, but it was generally condemned in England, for the double reason that the Chief of the Embassy was an American cili7.cn, and that it was thought it would interfere with some of tho privileges claimed by the English traders. When Mr. Burlingame arrived in Eugland, he, however, soon brought about a hotter understanding, and succeeded in negotiating a treaty similar to that entered into with tho United States.

lie afterwards negotiated treaties with France and other of tho European powers, and had but recently presented himself at the Court of Russia, where he was received with extreme cordiality, and with every disposition on tho part of the Czar to promote tho objects of his mission. His sudden death will cause universal regret, for he was engaged in a great and noble work that will cause bis name to bo remembered with equal gratitude in China and In America and Europe. Tho embassy of which Mr. Burlingamo was tho head has been from Its incipiency an object of jealousy to a ring of traders who feared that a chck would be put upon their gains if tho old barbarous policy of dealiug with the Chinese was abandoned, and they have not hesitated to oppose it In every way. These mcu succeeded in enlisting on their sido J.

Ross Browne, the successor of Mr. at the Court of Pekin, and they on Beveral occasions attempted to discredit tho transactions of tho embassy by spreading reports that tho treaties had been rejected by tho Chinese Government. The falsity of these reports has been fully proved, and there Is every reason to believe that the Chinese appreciate tho services of Mr. Burlingamo fully. It Is greatly to ho regretted that Mr.

Burlingamo did not llvo to finish his work, but ho has at least succeeded in inaugurating a now policy with regard to China that cannot fail to bo of benefit to that country, and much more to the credit of the Western powers than that which has been practised for bo many years in defiance of every principle of right and justice.
