valuable matter. This always-briliant magazine

Tho January number of Scribl,er's Monthly
gives evidence Of an enterprising spirit on tho
part OF its editors and publishers. A better list
Of distinguished contributors Is not shown by
any American magazine. There is a second ar
ticle on New Ways in the Old Diminion," de-
scribing the route Of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Ilailroad, from Richmond to Huntington, on the
Ohio river. These are very entertaining articles,
splendidly illustrated, and their authorship we

how TO GET EQUAL REPRESENTATION.

Oae OF the vital issues before the people and
incumbent en- the Legislature is that Of Equal
Representation. No fair man or sane man can
expect that the people North of Duck Creek will
perpetually submit to Acknowledgement. Taxa
tion without Representation is Tyranny, and this
they have 10 ng endured.
How shall the wrong be righted By an Ao
ofae Legislature, passed al this Session
The present constitution expressly provides
Article II, Section 2 that the Legislature may
increase the number of its members. under GER
tain restrictions. These require that there shall
be, for each county, at least three Senators, and
seven Representatives, and that the Senate sha I
never hold a greater ratio to the House than
one-haf its number These rules being OBJ
served, the act of the General Assembly. two
thirds Of each House concurring, is al al time
sufficient to increase the representation and
there.i is no valid reason why it sheuld not be
passed at the present session.
Let the delegation representing the disfran-
chised constituency introduce bill remedyinl
the wrong. Let them press the measure upon
the Legislature, and bring up the issue, fairly
and squarely. 1t is impossible-so at least all
fair men will declare-that the gentlemen rep
resenting districts where the citizens have nov
more than their share of representation will vote
against this act to do justice to one-fourth the
people Of the State How could they Justify &c
gross a grong2 1t would insult the name
Democracy to which the members from Ken
and Sussex proclaim their attachment.
To raise the square, plain, direct issue o
equalizing Representation is the present duty o
the dsfranchsed people OF Northern Delaware
The time has come for them to ask justice, ant
to obtain it. II it is refused, let. them perpetu
ally remember the men who make refusal Tn

The Infnmous Atlnchmept Law.

Wages ought not, under any circumstances, to
be subject to attachment. Added to the many
instances of hardship under the present law,
we are informed OF recent case. A family out
the Avenue were called upon short time ago,
by person known to them as a respectable and
worthy woman, tho wife Of a mechanic, and
mother OF several children. She was obliged to
ask them for assistance. Her husband had been
sick for a considerable time, and unable to earn
anything for his family. During his illness they
Of course ran into debt. Finally, he recovered
and obtained employment. His wages, as pay
day approached, amounted to a small sun, upon
which he depended to satisfy some Of the more
pressing debts, and procure the food and cloth
ing which this Indictment season makes neces.
sary, when one of his creditors attached the
money, took it, and reduced his wife to the alb
solute necessity of asking charity.
How can a man work, with the prospect hang,
ing over him, every day, Of having all his earn,
ings seized, without cent going to his own use
or that Of his family? Such law drives many
good workman, temporarily in debt out of the
city, or obliges him, as in this case, to beg. vii
the Legislature repeal it, promptly?

MORE OF THE TRUTH EI1o1TED-THE WHOLE
MOUNTAIN MoLE-HILL.
wAsmNaToN, Dec. 10.
The committee has adjourned to January Z,
and it is now expected that the doors will then
be opened by order Of the House This would
have been done to-day had not u member named
Pierce been put forward to demand the regular
order and shut out all resolutions for that pur-
pose. A majority Of members whose names
have been used as having been approached by
Mr.. Ames are desirous that the investigation
shall be open.
A statement Of some of the individual cases is
as follows: Mr.. Dawes, wishing to invest nine
hundred dollars in some western railroad bonds,
consulted Mr.. Ames as to the safety OF the in
vestment The latter advised him to add one
hundred dollars and buy ten shares OF the Credit
Mobilier. Mr.. Dawes was disposed to decline
the purchase, on the ground that he did not
know anything about tue safety Of such stock,
and could not afford to risk the little money be
had in that way. Mr.. Ames then offered TO give
Mr.. Dawes written guarantee that the stock
should be worth ten per cent. to him. Subse-
quently Mr.. Dawes learned what convinced him
that he should not hold this stock, and asked
the return Of his money from Mr.. Ames The
later returned 1t with the interest he had prom
sed.
Senator Wilson's relation to the Credit Mobi-
lier was as follows; Early in 1868 Mr.. Ames had
advised him to invest q little money he hal
in Credit Mobilier stock. After receiving an ex-
planation from Mr.. Ames and the assurance
that no further legislation would be asked or
required, he agreed to take twenty shares upon
a further offer OF Mr.. Ames to guarantee it
to bo worth ten per cent. Shortly after the
report OF the lawsuit among the members of
the company became public, Mr.. Wilson, on in
quiry felt convinced that this might lead to Leg
isation on the part Of Congress-, and that it
might also destroy the value Of the stock went
to Mr.. Ames and requested the return OF his
money. Mr. Ames gave it back with ten per
cent interest and offered the dividends due
but these Mr.. Wilson refused and only received
back the principal and interest. No stock was
ayer dAliyered to him

as one Of the reasons why MIR. Colfax declined
to accept the Tribune editorship at is thought
in some quarters that Mr. Oolfax is supposed to

The Worlds Washington correspondent tele-
graphs There has been no end to the gossip
over the real cause OF his failure to go into the
Tribune, the most interesting feature Of which
declares the proprietors were informed that Mr..
COlfax was mixed upin the Credit Mobilier scan

him at the head Of a journal which had 80
