Origin of the Credit Mobiler

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 2s.-In the
Constitutional Convention, to day,
on the subject of Credit Mobi!er,
Mr.. Boyd, Of Montgomery, said:
81 believe that if reformation is TO
be begun anywhere by this conven-
ton, it should be in the Legislature.
Why? Do gentlemen know that it
was in the Legislature of Pennsyl,
vania that for the paltry sum of
$4,000 was chartered the Credit
Mobilier, a corporation which was
refused incorporation by the Legis-
laturc of New York, for less than
100000 and by the n. j. Lcgisla-
ture for less than sl5o,000? But
when they came over into Pcnnsyl-
vania, they find the Legislature
ready for the insignificant sum of
$4,000 to set it on foot. Then it
was transported to Maine and ran it's
Shiny course through the entire
Union. And, Sir, it has corrupted
men in the highest walk of life, as
we'll as those in the lowest, until we
are told by Investigations now &C
ing on, that this country has been
robbed of over 800, 900.
Mr.. Smith Of Lancaster--The
gentleman from Norristown has
given You an idea Of the origin of
the Credit Mobilier, and has impli-
ed that our legislature could be
bought much cheaper than those of
New York or New jersey. | have
a correct version of the history of
that corporation, which | will bri eff

A distinguished Democrat Of this
Commonwealth, who had been
clerk of both houses, met me on one
occasion and told me that gentle
man who was usually lull Of specu-
lative theories came up to the Leg
islature one session.
The project that he had in hand
at that time was the organization in
this country of a corporation similar
to the Credit Mobilier established
in France. He framed a bill, and
had it passed by the PENNSYLVANIA
Legislature before the Pacific Rail
road was barely conceived. The
corporation was organized in this
city, and each of the directors then
and there elected were voted 80
shares of paid-up stock, "lhey being
on the ground tloor," at $1,000 .
share. Afterward at another meet
ing, the name of the company was
changed to ehe Pcnnsylvania Fiscal
Agency, but nothing was ever done
by the organization. The charter
book and the papers were stolen and
bodily carried off to New York,
where the company known as the
Credit Mobilicr was organized.
The changed name was strick II
out and they returned to the origin
al title. The father of the bill said
he would have been entitled to re-
ceive at one time, if he had held on
to his paid up Stockton when the
question of paid up stock came up
in New York they sent n party to
Philadelphia to bu, it all up-he
would have received, according to
his calculation, 81, 100000, whereas
The thirty shares brought him when
he sold it 1870.

Another Iowa Editor Fallen.

The Des Moines Republican gives
the following sad particulars of the
disgrace and ruin of Jas. d. Aims
worth, editor of the Dennison Re
y;eac, well known in this section of
Iowa, and young man than whom
none in the State had, few months
ago, brighter promise of a life of
usefulness and honor:
J. D. Ainwoath Of the Dennison
Review has brought disgrace upon
himself and family, and upon a
young woman who has been resid-

Ainsworth is raving maniac, and
has been sent to the Insane Asylum

Brownlow.

Grace Greenwood writes about
Brownlow after the following style:
Looking down from my place,
near the reporters gallery II always
hover, Perl-like, just outside of that
| caught sight, on Senatorial desk,
of the familiar shake ofan attenua-
ted foot, and looking again, saw Mr..
Brownlow in his seat, Still utterly
unchanged, after the great change
which several years ago left him a
wreck i'll all but his keen intellect
and inf1exible will. There was the
same pallid and impassive face, the
same wasted, helpless and tremul.
GUS figurc-a figure which the waves
OF political agitation seem to break
against and pass round, but never
move-which seems to have 10
reality about it, unless it be the
power to occupy, till the live man
comes. Yet there is something
grand in the never say die spirit OF
the grim old fighting parson OF
Tennessee"
