Advice - Those who Have HoGh
Ing 10 do.

The following which we clip from
the local columns of an exchange,
we commend to the careful, sober
reflection of 8 large number of
young men in this city who appa-
rently have nothing to dol"
A gentleman was speaking yester-
day, of the number of boys and very
young men that are to be found
loafng around the saloons, especial
ly on Saturday evenings. He truth
fully said, that in this way they form
ed habits that were their great draw
back through the rest of their lives.
Business men see them spending
their time in this way, and refuse to
employ them; and while the steady,
sober, industrious youth are max
ing rapid advancement, those who
spend their evening around the sa-
looms, remained where they were,
or go BACKWARD.
If they were wise, they would
avoid contracting habits Of driking,
card-playing, loafng, and such
evils. When they get older they
will see that they would have been
better of never to have formed the
habits. Then they will try to break
them, and some will succeed, and
break them, while others will fail.
Anyway, it will be a good deal OF
| fighting for all of them-battles that
they can avoid by starting right
now. Battles, too, that viii de-
mand some of the energies that they
ought to devote to other matters
Boys be satisfied with the expe-
rience of Others Do not make ex-
periments on yourselves. No man
ever regretted that he had spent his
youth and young manhood in use
| full, noble pursuits; but how many
have regretted that theirs had been
spent in idle living? No man ever
regretted having never "sowed any
wild OATS" but how many have
spent their lives in anguish of spir-
it, becsuse!they sowed so profusely
in their youth.

The First state ELECTION IN 1879.

The first State election that occurs
in 1872 is in New Hampshire. She
votes for a Governor and Legisla-
ture on the second Tuesday In
March. She had been Republican
for seventeen long years by small
majorities, but in March, 1871, aid
ed by local issues, the Democracy
unexpectly carried her, choosing
their Governor and ali three of her
members of Congress. Governor
Weston is again the Democratic
candidates, and his friends have
high hopes of his success by q fair
majority. The democrats expect to
gain about 1900, votes by the re-
moval of some restrictions. from
naturalized citizens which the Re-
publicans had hitherto imposed. If
they do succeed, it will greatly
frighten the Grant dynasty. Last
year the vote stood: Weston, S4,799;
Pike, S3, 1872; the temperance and la
Dor reform candidate, 1882. There
was no choice by the people, but
Weston was elected by a close vote
in the Legislature, the Democrats
forming a union with the labor re-
formers for that purpose CHM.

How To Promote coed Moral.

A town ofive thousand inhabi-
tants will soon spring into existence
Immediately around large cotton
mill. Chelsea was thus found by
the mill that was burned, and about
the cotton mills of Augusta, Geor-
gia, beautiful villages have grown
up. The manufacturing towns
around Boston are numberless, and
as progressive as numerous. Schools
churches and shops of all descrip-
tiOns are the creations of a great
cotton-mitl, and surely these are
sadly needed by the very persons
to whom such an. abode of industry
would give employment. Churches
and schools are established in vain
unless the poor are given employ
ment. Therefore, it happens that
mEckerels and worse than idle girls
are multiplied, even though Mem
phis is blest with the best system OF
free schools on the continent. Let

italists as such will not, build 3 cot.

Maryland Follows Suit.

THE CREDIT MOBILIER INVESTIGATION.
sr.pTtTNG EVIDENCE FROM COL. MCoMS--
aAKFs AMEs's DILBMMA-A DEMOCRATIC
MFMBER CHARGED WITH SECURING FIFTY
SHARES FOR Ills BROTHER-IN-LAw.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 1S.-The Credit Mobilier In
.ostigotioe Committee met againto-day. Stringent
;nnnctions of secrecy were laid upon the members,
che shorthand reporter, and the witnesses. Col.
McComb was sworn and gave testimony that greatly
ostonished the Committee and opened broad field
o. future inquiry He is said TO have made clear,
nan statement of the history of the Credit Moblier
Company and Of Cakes Amess relations with ii, and
IN have fled important papers to sustain his evidence.
He said that Amos had demanded and received from
the COMPANY a large amount Of stock with the
avoved purpose Of placing il among Members Of Con-
rsss in such way as confluence legislation which
the Onion Pacific Railroad was interested. The stock
was placed in his hands with the distinct under
standing that he was to make this use OF it, and If
he had not done so then he had made false repre-
sentations, and must have wrOngfully appropriated
Il 10 his own use Col McComb said that he had
nersonal knowledge of the acceptance of
stock by one Member of Congress only. He
was present at an interview between Ames and a
prominent Democratic member, whom be named,
who offered to do all he could to control the Demo
cratic side of the House in the interest of the rail-
road in consideration of fifty shares of stock, to be
delivered to his brother-inaw. and Ames closed the
bargain with him upon these terms. Ames had in
formed McComb that he had secured other members
of the House. and also a number of Senators, in the
same way. The witness could not testify as to
the truth of Ames's assertions in this respect,
but he is reported to have satisfied the Com
mittee that Ames had taken the stock and
be testified positively to the explanations Ames had
made TO him of its use. His evidence made strong
impression upon the Committee, who could not see
how unless McCombs oath was shown to be worth
less Ames could escape from the dilemma of either
acknowledging that he had deceived the Credit
Mobilcr directors, and had converted to his own
use a large amount of stock, under pretense Of dis
tributing it among Congressman. or else admitting
that he had distributed ii as he pretended to have
done. Col. McComb is understood to have made
some startling revelations about the management of
the finances of the Union Pacific Railroad, into
which he was necessarily obliged to 80 to some ex-
tent in order to explain fully the workings of the
Credit MObiier Company.
