Mr.. Robert J. Walker is the great snow
plow of this scheme, who has subscribed
and for aught we know, paid down the trife
of ten millions of the capital stock, but his
name is almost out''of sight in the middle of
the long list Of directors. If the names
are printed in the order Of their relative
subscription to the stock, we should con-
clude that some Of the gentlemen composing
the board have forked over some twenty or
or thirty millions apiece. We have taken
lively interest in the affairs Of the Com
pany, and intend to give its proceedings, SO
far as we are or shall be made acquainted
with them, the benefit Of the wide pubici-
ty of str columns. We have, on former
occasion, announced its initiator3 proceed
ings and now give the details Of its organi-
zation. The names Of some Of the Direc-
tors recall "reminiscences Of the past, but it
would be invdious in us to comment upon
them; and SO we shall leave that task to
Col. Benton, OF somebody else.
This Moonshine Company is intended tc

plan upon which interminable arches are
constructed. Given place to stand upon

yacht project, to be undertaken and carried
on at the expense of Uncle Sam, and wher'
the Company can not only dodge in and oil
of everybody's harbor free of expense, un
der "yacht license" but where champagne
and chicken fxings are to be thrown il
gratis to enliven the jaunt. This Compan,
is bound to have jolly time, so long as it
life lasts. Its rooms will be open at Wash
ington this winter, and we'll lighted at night
where anybody who wants to cut and com
