There are good many points of resemblance
between the Credit Mobilier of the present day
and the United States Bank Of twenty-6y years
ago. In 1880 the United States Bank began to
assume political character. 1t mixed in all
kinds Of business. 1t undertook the construction
Of railroads ard canals it bought and sold cot

it broke down under the load and the whole
country broke down with it. A political revo-

lists and imperalists all, like Counts MGny and
de Persigny, not very long since were adventur

moving from place to place in order to defeat
their creditors Now the whole credit and fnan-
cial affairs Of France are under their control
Their career, especially that portion Of it which
remains to be acted out, will exercise powerful
influence on the destiny of France during the next

Of very remarkable political sagacity very
superior to all his rivals in Europe, and to
his predecessors. But he has shown that he
is man, erring, like all men, by this
financial bunder Of his. In general politica
affairs he has avoided the errors of the three go
vernments which preceded him, with uncommon
address. Not one of their mistakes or their pre-
JUDGES has done him any injury. He noticed
that the empire of the first Napoleon was ruined
by too great dynastic ambition too much ne
potism, and too reckless disregard of the wei
fare Of the world and his allies, in the haste to
raise his own family and carry out his own views;
and he was careful to avoid this danger. He
saw how the monarchy Of the restored Bourbons,
and that Of the u.urping Orleans had failed from
ignorance Of tie principles of parliamentary 60

grcLeh for English forms, and be steered clear Of

Nor did events in which he was forced to pur
sue an original policy lead to any particular err

the Eastern war, won all the laureas that were to
be won, and came out of the war not only with
credit, but with the good will and esteem of his
antagonists, US well as his allies At the close Of
the war, having impaired his position by no sin

at the head of the European coalition. He COM

1t is high time that, with every reported spe-
cial bill in Congress for granting money or lands,
report should be added giving the reasons for
its introduction and the names of the applicants.
Perhaps all private bills should be given notice
of in the Washington papers for six weeks before
the meeting of Congress. In this way we should
know what rascality is projected Now, the most
daring POPULATIONS are attempted without hesita-

the administration of Mr. Pierce, and we hope for
the honor of our country, it may end there.

Of the Kansas troubles They are of opinion that
the Americans will go to war in Kansas about
slavery shortly and that they will kill each other
to a great extent, leaving few survivors
to erect monarchies on the ruins of the State go

give pleasure rather than pain to the aristocratc
organs.
We are sorry to destroy it, but we have the
honor to state to the British Peers that there is
going to be no war in Kansas. There has been
row or two out there about slavery, and there
will be few more rows as BELTS Anglo-SaXons
