Corruption in High Places.

The christian knows that the world is bad
enough. He knows it from his own experience,
and from observation, and from the Bible
which he accepts as the Word of God. He
knows that there is none good, that all are
corrupt that there is no moral soundness in
our race since the fall He is often over
whelmed at the thought of his own wickedness
as we'll as the wickedness of others. But just
now our country is having such an exhibition
of the depravity of human nature as ought to
convince the most incredulous that there is q
deep seated and wide spread moral disease pre-
vailing among our race. Crime, high handed
and bare faced, is lifting its head, not only in
the alleys and purlieus of society, but in the
highest and most sacred places.
In our own land, how. is it? In the South,
perhaps, the world scarcely expects any thing
better. Where ignorance, such as we have
among us, holds the reins Of government, and
avarice and lust guide in the affairs of State,
certainly not much ought to be expected. No
wonder that confusion and anarchy reign. No
wonder that violence and blood-shed are seen
every day in our Streets and are making the
land to mourn. No wonder that in Arkansas
and Louisiana and Alabama and Carolina,
black is declared to be white and white black
that all proper distinctions of right and
wrong are we'll nigh obliteratcd No wonder
that Governors come out of the mud and mire
of. society, reeking with the stencil of the pit
from whence they have been brought. No
wonder that money will buy passport to the
United States Senate. These things, we say,
are to be expected while things remain as they
are with US. This, however, does not change
the fact, does not improve the condition of
things. 1t ought TO excite alarm. 1t ought to
secure for US help. If there is any patriotism
left if there is any love of country in. the
land, if there is any craftsmanship any where,
here is field where victory may be won and
glory achieved.
But in places where better things ought to
be expected, we are having every day exhibi-
tions of corruption and immortality that are
enough to awaken the fears of good men every
where. The Northern papers are filled with
stories of murder, and theft and bribery, and
corruption in every form, in the town and in
the country, in public places and in private
places, among the rich and the poor, among
the noble and the ignoble, until the heart
sickens at the recital.
Just now the United States Senate is en-
gagged in trying member from the Northwest
who is charged with buying his seat in that
body, and the proof seems to be clear and con-
elusive and the New York Herald says, that
probably fifty out of the seveuty-two United
States Senators have secured their seats in the
same way. The Herald is not very good
authority we admit, but when it raises such a
CRY, the case must be bad indeed. How much
longer can it be said, "the Republic lives !''-

A PRACTICAL ENCOURAGEMENT TO-IMAfI!
eRAT1oN.-The people of Maine are highly
delighted with the. result of their efforts t9 st1
tract Swedish Immigrants to that State by
affording aid to them on theis arrival and until
they are able to get q return for their labor
when the-assistance rendered them,is repaid by
labor on works of public, Improvement. There
are now one thousand three hundred Swedish
settlers within the borders of the State, who
have paid their own passage to this countryj
and brought hither sixty thousand dollars in
money. In the colony of New Sweden, situa-
ted in, the thiHly settled northern portion of
the State, there are now one hundred good
houses and eighty-eight barns. Each settler
has from FIVE to twenty acres OF land cleared,
and the colony has two steam mills for making
shingles and a saw mill run by water Thirty
miles !of roads have been cut through the
woods. and school has been established for
the instruction of children. The amount of
aid-rendered by the State has been a little over
twenty thousand dollars of which four thou
sand two hundred and seventy eight dollars has
been repaid by work on the roads THE re-
mainder, about sixteen thousand dollars, will
be repaid hereafter by the immigrants in work
on State Improvements.
This plan should be considered among the
many others that have been suggested to at
tract immigration to Georgia. It seems to be
we'll settled proposition that some special in
ducement, other than that presented by fertile
soil and passing healthy climate, mdst be
held out to immigrants, if We desire to occom:
plish anything in that direction. "A ship-load
of pamphlets and newspapers, descriptive of
the vast and varied resources of Georgia, scat
tered abroad by the most oily-tongned corps
of immigration agents that could by possibility
be secured, would, so far as changing the tide
than waste of the raw material, if the afgu-
ment be not sustained by the offer of material
inducements calculated to interest the immi-
grant in its nsideration.-Augusta Chronicle
and Sentinel. 7r 4.l

WHAT Is THE "CREDIT MoBILTER T'-This
question continues to be asked, in spite Of the
repeated explanations already given. The in
side history of that combination, which availed
Itself of an old act of incorporation passed by
the Pennsylvania Legislature, and organized
under the French financial designation now so
notorious, is related in an affidavit of one of its
members, Dr. Thomas G. Durant, of which the
foil wing is brief summary:
When the Union Pacific road was under
construction 'ring" was formed inside the
direction, embracing, as such combination
always does, the shrewdest most active and
least scrupulous of the Board, for the purpose
of, making large fortunes for its members in an
ilegitimate manner, at the cost Of the road
and of the unsuspecting stockholders AS
usual, the object was to be achieved by means
of construction contracts. Through the votes
of the "ring" the work was to be awarded in q
lump to some dummy contractor, at price
double or more than double the cost, with a
fair profit added; for, as a great many capa-
cioua appetites had to be satisfied, an ample
margin was necessary. The contractor was
then to make over the contract to the "ring"
Directors, in the capacity of stockholders of
the Credit Mobilier, the pretense being that
the Credit Mobilier had the means to push the
work vigorously forward, and would be better
able to do so than any single individual. In
pursuance of this conspracy-for it was moth
ing elsc-thc contract for the construction of a
large portion of the road at fifty thousand dol
lars s. mile was awarded and duly assigned to
the Hring"-a price which, according to DR..
Durant's statement was more than double the
legitimate cost of the work. This, however,
was rot enough. BY the votes of the conspira-
tors many miles of the road which had already
been constructed and accepted by the United
States Government as complete, and which had
nearly all been paid for by the Union Pacific
Company, were included in the contract at
fifty thousand dollars mile and thus an enor
nous amount of money was taken bodily, as it
were, out of the pockets of the stockholders
without shadow of justification, and trans
ferred to the greedy grasp of the ring. The
shares of the Credit Mobilier were thus made
at once worth from eight to ten times their face
value--that is to say, single thousand dollar
share was worth from eight to ten thousand
dollars in cash.

Protecting THE FINANCEs.-Represen
tive Cochran, from Anderson, has introduced
an important bill entitled "a bill to regulate
the deposit of State, county and other funds. "
THE bill first proposes to repeal section 46,
chapter 20, title of the General Statutes.
"that all moneys paid into the Circuit or Pro-
bate Courts or received by the officers thereof
in causes pending therein shall be Immediately
deposited in some incorporated bank, State or
National, within the circuit" or if there be no
such bank, then the nearest bank. In lieu of
this the bill provides that all moneys received
by officers of the courts shall be deposited in
bank or banks designated by a State Financial
Board to be composed of the Governor, Comp
troller General, State Treasurer, Attorney Cen
eral and the Judge.of the circuit in which the
monies may be.
The bill further requires the officers Of the
courts to Immediately deposit all monies com
ing into their hands as directed by the board,
and also to publish a weekly statement of all
receipts and payments.
The banks on receiving the said funds are to
deposit with the Comptroller General securities
to the value of eighty per cent. of the deposit,
and also. to giye:a bond in the penal sum of
$l0O, 900 for the safe keeping of the funds en-
trusted to them. The Comptroller General is
to be required tc publish monthly statement
of theseItransactions, and ten days notice must
be given the banks of the withdrawal of any
of the funds. ~
The bill provides that the same board Except
the Circuit Judgel shall designate. bank ifjo for
the deposit. of all county funds, in which the
treasurer shall deposit ali moneys in the same :
manner and with the same safeguards. Said
county funds to,be drawn only on the order OF
the county Commissioners.
The same beard shall also designate bank
or banks in which The State Treasurer shall
deposit all moneys received by him, which
shall mot be drawn except on the Treasurer's
check countersigned by the Governor.
>, The State Treasurer shall also publish
monthly statement of all his financial transac-
tions in detail. -.
All the banks receiving these moneys shall
pay pei cent. interest on all of said deposits
Failure to comply with the law is made q
misdemeauor, punishable'with fine and impris-
onment.A GDlttnibia Union.

= Mark Twain is in favor of annexing the
Sandwich Islands. He says: "We must annex
those people. We can aff1ict them with our
wise and benefcient government, We can in
troduce the novelty Of thieves, all the way up
from street car pickpockets to municipal rob-
bers and government defaulters, and show them
how amusing it is to arrest them and try them,
and then turn them aloose-some for cash and
some for political influence We can make
them ashamed of their simple and primitive
justice. We can do away with their occasional
hangings for murder"
