 In our last paper we gave the letter of the Vice President to the Speaker of the House of Representatives. We this day publish the names of the committee ap- pointed to investigate the subject to which the letter refers. The charge of.a partici- patton in the Mix contract, by Maj. Van- deventer, is not new, neither is it now the first time that an allegation has appeared in the papers, that Mir. Calhoun was ac- quainted with that circumstance. The fact of participation is admitted in letter of Maj. Vandeventer, published in the Wash lngton Gazette, the predecessor of the Telegraph, on the 22d of April, 1922 and the fact that his participation was with the knowledge of MT. Calhoun, and that the contract with Mix was entered into without the usual notice being given by public advertisements, was stated in the report of the committee of the House of Representatives upon that subject, made at the close of the session, and published a. bout that time. We shall take occasion to republish the letter and report, with some l observations on the subject, in our next.- We cannot, however, refrain from express sing our regret, that the subject should have been presented to Congress att time when so much and such important business IS about to come before that body.

 For the present we will only observe that we think there is something in MT. Calhoun's communication to the House of Representatives very objectionable as it IS capable of being so construed However lntended) as to assign cause and origin to this occurrence which are entirely diff terent from it's true cause and origin. Nat. Jour. Important Bank Decision-The Court for the Correction of Errors, Sitting at Albany, confirmed on the gath ult. the judgment of the Court beio,c, declaring that note givenby Philip Wager to the Bank of Utica, and note given to the same Bank by SmalIey & Bar nard. null and void, because that in discount ing the note, the Bank agents retained the in- terest in advance, charged interest for the three days grace, and also because the Bank agents in computing the interest, calculated it at thirty days for each month, by which mode but 36O days were allowed to the year. This by decision of both Courts, was de- cared to be usury; and as such, freed the defendants from obligation to pay their own notes.
