The Credit MObiIier Report.

The deathly silence that prevailed
in the House during the reading of the
report Of Judge Poland's Committee,
symbolized the anxious suspense in
which the whole country awaited the
verdict. 1t is not enough to say that
the report is unsatisfactory, Where
equal and exact justice is asked of
Congress for the sake of its own hon
Or it is an insult to IN earnest people
to offer compromise i'll which the
punishment is far from balancing the
immunity. The substance Of the re-
port is that Mr.. Cakes Ames sought
to bride Congressman and therefore
must be expelled that the members
whom he supposed he had bribed, and
who enriched themselves with the
money he placed in their hands, were
ignorant and innocent of all evil and
and that Mr.. James Brooks bought
much of tins same stock with culpable
intent and therefore must accompany
Mr.. Ames. In behalf of Mr. Brooks
nothing can or need be said. No one
will pity or wish to shield him from
the result Of his transactions. In the
case Of Mr.. Ames, the Committee, it
will generally be considered, has
created a martyr rather than pilloried
criminal. In his own words, he is
to be expelled for telling the Truth
Willing to the last to protect by 81
lence the men into whose hands he
had thrust enormous dividends, forced
at last by their b'azen falsiticatiOns TO
speak the whole story, and never fail
ing to make good the exact words Of
his every assertion, he is yet forced to
bear the sins of the whole multitude
Without paliatlng the guilt Of his
manipulation Of Congressman, there
is still manly love of honesty Of
speech existing among the American
people that will ensure Mr.. Ames an
abundance of defenders everywhere
This sentiment will also lead to Il
prompt condemnation of the report
for its reticence concerning the most
abjectly disgraceful exhibition produc-
ed in the course Of its inquiry We
refer to the case Of Nice-President
Colfax. By virtue of his office he is
amenable to the House but, although
shown in the most pititul plight upon
the witness stand, and implicated
deeply in the purchase and the profits
of Mr.. Ames's stock, no mention is
made of his name. Much less is the
impeachment, richly deserved, recon-
mended by the Committee Boston

The DcfauIting Collector of the ver-
mont District-Anot',er Effort TO De-
feat Justice.
We are informed upon credible au-
thority that n petition, numerously
signed by citizens Of Vermont, has
been addressed to the President, ask
ing that the Indictment against Gen.
Geo. j. Slannard, the defaulting coll
ector Of the Vermont District, be mol.
pros'd 1t viii. be remembered that
Gen. Stannard defrauded the Govern
ment out of about $4O,000 in his &C
counts, and he was to appear for trial
upon the charges against him in the
United States Circuit Court at Bur
lington, Vt, on the 25th inst. The
usual representations Of good connec-
tions, previous character and respect
ability, present poverty, etc, are
made, we presume, and it is probably
also urged that this is a proper case
for the exercise of executive clemency
As there has previously and frequent
ly been exhibited a peculiar weakness
on the part of the President in regard
to representations of this character in
the cases of defaulters, it is not i'm
probable that they will have weight
in the present instance, and that a re-
commentator from the Executive
Office will find it's way to the District
Attorney in favor Of the petition. We
can only look upon such action as an
encouragement to crime, and place it
upon par with the efforts to execute
and whitewash the corruption of high
er officials. If our law makers can use
their positions with immunity to gath
err wealth dishonesty, there seems to
be no reason why thieves in a subor-
dinate position should not escape the
penalties imposed by the enactmen:s
made by those legislators.-Boston

Senator Caldwell Convicted.

The Senate Committee in Caldwell
case concluded their duties last week
and reported thereupon. The find
ings Of the Committee are that Alex
ander Caldwell, at present a member
of the United States Senate, twas not
duly and legally elected by the Kan
sas Legislature, on account Of the
barefaced bribery and corruption by
which he managed to secure his seat.
The testimony could have led to no
other conclusion The Committee
was composed of the ablest men from
both parties, Senators Trumbull, Nor
ton, Alcorn and Hill forming its ma
.jority and agreeing upon its report
They find, from careful examination,
that his election to the Senate cost
Caldwell fully fifty, and probably sixty
thousand dollars, which was distribu.
ted right and left for the purchase of
votes by paying so much to members
of the Legislature, by silencing the
opposition of others with the payment
of their election expenses, and by
making money contracts with others
which were not carried out. There is
no shadow of doubt that this election
was as shameless a piece of sale and
purchase as the history OF Legislative
corruption anywhere discloses. There
are no explanations or qualifications
about it, but the transaction reached
2 depth of baseness from which hon
est men avert their heads with indig-
nation and righteous disgust.

The ':Heathen Chinee" SuppIanting
Our own Aamerican Lab0rers.

a petition relative to the employ
ment of Chinese laborers in Pennsyl-
vania has been presented in the House
by Mr.. McClelland. A number Of
citizens of Fallston in that State say
that about 100 Chinese laborers have
been imported for cutlery company
in the borough of Beaver Falls, in said
county, thereby causing the discharge
from the works of the white Ameri
can mechanics and workmen that
20) Chinese, direct from China, are
said to be engaged and on the way
for the same cutlery and other works
of the same company, to the exclusion
from the works of our own people
that contracts have been made through
one of their own race for long periods
Of servitude on their part, at wages 50
low as to forbid competition by A
merican workmen that their habits
are so debasing as to insure the de-
moralization and degradation Of all
Christian communities brought in con
tact with them; that their introduc.
ton into the United States in the
manner it is done shows a manifest
attempt to revive the institution Of
slavery, and that it is an act of bad
faith towards the work people OF
Pennsylvania and of the United States,
inasmuch as that protection of thirty
five to fifty per cent against the i'm
po.tation Of foreign cutlery was en-
acted for the purpose Of protecting
the American lab0rer against cheap
foreign labor and asking that, rs
means therefor, to be saved from such
evils, and in behalf of their own work
people, Congress will pass a law pro-
hibiIing any further Importation of
Chinese laborer sunder contra cts made
in China, and that it will authorize the
free importation from foreign coun
tries of such articles Of manufacture
as are or may be produced in the
United States by and through Chinese
cheap labor 50 contracted for. The
petition was referred to the Commit
tee on Education and labor Our
Republican Congress has now an OPP
portunity to show whether its boosted
friendship for the American mechanic
and laborer is more than an empty
-profession-made only for political
capital. With this remark we leave
the matter for the present.

gloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the foliclcs are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophed and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stmu-
lated into activity, so that new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
Of fouling the hair with pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
sea p arrests and prevents the torma-
ton of dandrut, which is often so I'm
clearly and offensive Free from those
deletcrious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for q HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.
