CREDIT MOBILIER

This week we shall certainly have
'the beginning Of the end" IN regard
to the Credit Mobilier investigation,
though when the end itself will come
it would he hard to predict. The Will
son report, it is said, will be made to
day, and the Poland report either to-
day or to morrow. The personal in
terest, Of course, is concentrated upon
the latter, and it is very great both
inside and outside of Congress. TO
some degree, it will determine whether
this investigation, which has made
SO much noise and seems, in fact, to
be the feature of the present session, is
to end in smoke, or is to have some
practical result of permanent value.
If the report of the Committee is in
adequate, is exaggerated or is felt to
be unjust,it will disappoiat the general
expectation Of the public. anlin Con-
gress it will merely give rise to a bit
ter and prolonged discussion, and that
will be the end of it. On the other
hand, a strong. clear, dispassionate
report, signed by majority of the
best members Of The Committee, will
carry all before it.
1t is plain enough that, whatever
opinions may have prevailed in the
community respecting the individuals
whose cases have been before the com
mitjee they can have no weight as
compared with those opinions which
the committee will form. The latter
have not only the full evidence which
the rest Of the public has imperfectly
or incorrectly, bat they have had the
men themselves before them-the &C.
cursed in the form Of witnesses. AS
to the Impression thus made, there
have been all sorts Of rumors, which
we need not try to sift now. The
report, so current a few days ago
that recommendations would be made
in favor of the expulsion Of Ames ant
Brooks---and theo5 alone-does no
seem to be so confidently insisted upor
now, probably for the reason tina
it is so difficult to draw the dividing

A stay of proceedings in the Stokes
case has been granted by Judge Davis,
and much comment thereon is being
made by the press. 1t is said that
the friends Of Stokes were so conf
dent of a favorable decision of this
application, that before the decision
was announced, they offered in New
York odds Of one hundred to five, that
the stay would be granted. And that
Stokes upon being informed of the
decision, though visibly affected, re-
marked ooh, it was no more than
expected from Davis" The questions
of law raised by the exceptions taken
BY the counsel for Stokes, now pass
to the general term of the Supreme
Court, with little prospect of a hear
ing before another winter, where, il
over-ruled, they pass to the Court Of
Appeals, thus involving still another
year of delay. If no new trial is
granted, and the decisions are all adj
verse to Stokes, this decision grants
him at least two years respite from
hanging.

line which shall leave these two Con
gressmcn ON one side, and all tue
others implicated in the inquiry on
the other. The previous question
also arises whether a Congressman is
amenable, under such an investigation
for what he may have done previous
20 his having become n member. In
fact, the subject broadens and grows
intricate as we consider it; so we
much prefer TO await the report OF The
committee, trusting, and indeed ex-
pecliug, that it will he fair and weigh

SPAIN.-King Amadeus abdicated
the Spanish Crown on Feb. 18th, and
has retired to Lisbon, intending
soon to return to Italy. Serious dis
turbances and fighting are reported
at Madrid. Promptly on the abdica-
ton Of Amadeus, the Spanish Cortes
declared for Republic by vote OF
259 in the affirmative to 80 in the
negative. The new government is
fully organized, and recognized as
such by other civilized nations gener-
ally. Gen. Sickles, upon the part of
the United States, warmly congratu-

CONGRESS-.

Certain salt works in Kentucky,
upon which the rebels depended for
supplies of salt during the war, were
destroyed by the forces uader Buell.,
by his order, during the late rebellion.
A bill was introduced in the Senate
providing for the payment for the
same by the u. S. The bill passed
both houses of Congress, but was last
week vetoed by President Grant, he
thinking it would furnish bad pre-
cedent if it became law. The works
were guarded ard defended by the
confederate forces, and upon being
captured by the Union army as mil
itary necessity, were destroyed to pre-
vent their future use by the rebels.
The committee appointed by the
Senate to investigate the charges
against Senator Pomeroy, are attend
ing to those duties this week. Sena.
tor York and various other witnesses
from Kans1s, agar s. Pomeloy arrived
in Washington last week. The re-
port of the committee in Senator Cald-
wells case has been Withheld at his re-
quest, appearances indicate that he
will resign his scat in case the reports
is against him.
Ehe President has forwarded to Con-
gress message calling attention to
the state Of affairs in Utah, land request
ing immediate action in supporting
the authority Of the District Courts,
and intimating that the bayonet will
soon be made use Of for that purpose
if necessary. The official counting
of the electoral vote for President
and Vice President was made on
Wednesday of last week. II Of the 966
electoral votes were rejected, being
the votes of Arkansas and Louisiana
and the three votes cast for Greeley
in Georgia. The 22d government rule
provides that the vote of any State
may be rejected by vote Of either
branch of Congress. In the case Of the
two States thus disfranchised, the
house voted l02 to 49, against their
votes being counted. The three
Greeley votes from Georgia were re.
jected upon the ground that at the
time the votes were cast it was q fact
of general history that Greeley was
dead. Being dead he had ceased tc
have legal existence, the votes were
therefore treated as blanks.
Senator Wilson, of Mass, has re
signed his seat in Congress, the resig
nation to take effect March 4th, on
which day he will assume the Office o.
Vice President. The election of Sen
ator Wilson's successor will be hold
en- on the 18th of March. This delay
by the Mass. Legislature, it is believ
ed, will be favorable to Mr.. Dave
chances of the election, and to the in
jury of the prospects Of Governo
Boutwell, whom it is said would hav
been more likely to succeed had TIL
election been held Immediately afte
the resignation of Senator Wilson.

A very pleasant scene occurred at
the State Prison, in Windsor, on Sab
bath, I'd inst. 1t was that of the ded-
ication of a room which has lately
been fitted up for a Chapel for relig-
ious uses Of the conyicts. 1t was the
first time Of service there, and all
eyes were lighted up with the novelty
Of the occasion. First, an audience Of
some fifty persons, composed OF the
officers of the Prison end members
of the families and other citizens,
occupied seats that were prepared for
them. Then came the men, about 80
in number, in regular line, marching
to their seats in front of the Chaplain's
stand. In the rear Of the organ, on
the east, just above the tablet Of the
"Childrcn's Offering, in 1862" was a
placard with the words, 1.-The Lord
looseth the Prisoners" Ps. cxlvi.
7. "To heal the broken-hearted,"
Luke iv. 10; and on the south side,
"Welcome, good Angels" The ded-
icatory services consisted Of singing
by the prison choir; reading Psalm
cxlyi, remarks and Offering of dedica-
tory prayer by Rev. ID. E. Miller
of the NJ. Z. Church, Windsor
Superintendent Pollard and Other
resident officers Of the Prison were
present. Delight was evident in
every eye, at the welcome sight of the
pleasant and comfortable Chapel.
prepared under the special supervision
Of Director Hartshorn and the wonder
now is that The discomforts and I'M
seelnliness Of the old place Of worship
were not long ago abandoned. The
Governor and legislature of 1872, and
all concerned in the provision of this
Chapel for the prison, will have thu
thanks of all who worship inside o
the walls. 1t will accommodate as
many attendants as did the old place
and its value to the institution canno
be computed Windsor Journal.
