TIE ERIE SETTLEMENT WITH JAY GOULD -
The settlement Of the suits between the Erie
Railroad and Jay Gould by the payment Of
nine million dollars by the ex-President
created quite sensation in London as well as
on our own market, and the stock rose rapidly
although declining triAe later in the day.
The general impression prevailed that Mr..
Gould would make large profit out Of the
fransaction through the rise in the stock, and
his settlement was pronounced one Of the
greatest financial coups ever accomplished,
and as casting the famous Northwestern cor
ner into the shade. One excited broker de-
clared that the American operator would clear
twelve millions by the transaction. AS all
parties thus seem to be benefited we do not
see why the settlement should not be pro-
nounced good thing all round.
The New York herald., 1872-12-21

judged. Although the list contains the names
of some Congressman and relatives of Con-
gressmen. it does not of course show the
transactions involved in the placing OF
stock by Mr. Ames ''where il would do the
most good" The developments before the
committee render it certain that number
of Senators and Representatives fell victims
to the seductions of Ames and Alley, and that
they received both the shares and the large
dividends either through themselves or near
relatives. Notwithstanding the positive denials
made by them during the Presidential can
vass.
Some of the congressman implicated in this
disgraceful business boldly admit that they
took the stock. but they claim that it was not
assigned to them for improper consider atlons
and did not influence their votes in Congress-
Oakes Ames plants himself upon this plea
The fact is undeniable. however. that oil the
members of either house who either in their
own persons or through their wives sons-in-
law and other relatives became largely inter-
ested In the stock voted Loyalty for every
legislative act, however extraordinary, de-
manded by the Union Pacific and its offshoot,
the Credit Mobilier. The people will not be-
lieve that their votes were cast disnterest-
edly any more than they will believe
that the Credit Mobiier managers were
so generous as to bestow hundreds Of
thousands Of dollars on certain Congressman,
without expecting or asking an equivalent. 1t
is just as clear that these Senators and Repre-
sentatives sold their votes for consideration
as if they had received the money in green
backs at the moment their votes were re-
corded If they had not known that they
were doing q corrupt and dishonest act when
they allowed themselves to be debauohed by
Ames and Alley they would not have en-
deavored to hide tie transactions behind the
persons Of their relatives and they
would not have got rid Of their shares
in terror as soon as the exposure was
threatened. These are plain facts which
the people will understand; and they
will understand, too, the dishonesty Of those
pretentious brawlers for reform who have no
word of denunciation for this. corruption
because it involves the leading members Of
their own party. The investigation by Con-
gressman Coxs dark-lantern committee is
likely to prove o failure. We have no faith
either in its desire or ability to reveal the
whole truth. Nevertheless, the people will be
convinced that the leading politicians in Con-
gress are just as corrupt as the members Of
our most infamous Albany Legislatures, and
that the votes Of the majority in the recent
election were cast for some candidates who
have forfeited all claim to be regarded as
honest men.

TIE FLOODS IN ENGLAND.-The floods
which have worked such ravages along the
line of the Danube, in Upper Italy, later in
France and Belgium, have now appeared in
England. The Trent and its afluents have
risen above their banks, and large portions Of
Leicester, Derby and Nottingham have been
submerged. So heavy are the floods that in
some sections only the tops of the trees and
hedges are visible. Near Dover landslips
have occurred, and railroad communication
has been interrupted. The town of Peter

We are unwilling to believe that this singu-

advance Of Speaker Blaine's motion, but GER
tainly its action has not served to gain for it
the confidence of the public. It's first act was
to form itself into Star Chamber inquisition
and to sit with closed doors. The charges it
is investigating have been publicly made, and
form portion of the records of suit now
pending in the Pennsylvania Courts. They
involve the integrity of prominent public
officers; Of Senators, Of Representatives In
Congress and Of others in high positions in

people are certainly interested in knowing
whether they are true or false. The mere con-
clusions of such committee as Congressman
Cox has SO generously bestowed upon
the suspected members will not be
satisfactory to the public. The press should
have been afforded an opportunity to report
from day to day the whole testimony adduced

would have been in position to judge Of the
justice of the ultimate decision. AT present
