The Crrbit nObtIfer CoBgSess'ne"
The report OF the Poland Comm;ttee
continues TO be sharply criticised II
will be remembered that they make
the point that Dawes, Garfield, Kelley
ard company could not possibly have
known III at the Credit Mobiller WAS
other than a legitimate business con
Germ, as it had never been exposed.-
Even admitting that. the implicated
Congressmep are exceedingly green and
unsopnisticated there could be no ex-
cuse ior their ignorance on this point.
In the Globe for the Forty-tirst, Con
gres. will hp found full expose OF the
Credit Nobilier swindIe, made by Stew
art, o Nevada, in the Senate, and In the
House by several members. The prev
alent impression is that neither brooks
nor Ames will be expelled but it is
thought that all Credit Mobilier- Con
gressmen will he censured The de-

Amps's Defense.
Oakes Ames has prepared state
ment, which ne will present to the
H ,nse and request TO be read in his

Ehe U,ah Problem.
The idea is suggested Of passing law
p~oyidog tor the appointment nv the
PreSrCent, o a commission, to bc COM
pped OF three or five gentlemen OF
farming and prominence who are not
actively engaged in the political discus
SONS Of the day, to 90 to Utah, during
the recess Of Congress, and make a
thorough investigation OF the whole
Mormon question, and report their con-
clu.ions 20 the next Congress. 1t is
proposed that the commission shall not
confioe their inquiries 10 Salt Lake City,
out shall visit all parts OF the Terrific
ry Of Utah, and report upon It's laws,
the resources of the people, their indus
try, their educational advantages and
promise, and all matters necessary to
enable Congress TO form an VI prejudice
ed view OF this great problem Senator
Moron has expressed himself III favor
OF such commission, as well ss other
prominent men, and it is understood to
be satisfactory TO the Mormons.
The Louisiana Question.
The report of Senator Carpenter, for
the majority on the Lou sisna question,
will be called up some day this week,
but the time has not yet beeSfxed -
Senators Morton and Carpenter were
IN consultation on the subject, Satur
dav. The report OF the 'ormer, in
which the case o. the Kellogg Govern
ment is sustained although it was not
concuired IN by any member OF the
Committee, is known to be a reflection
OF the views Of the President.
There is little probablll that vote
will be reachedon the Louisiana trouble,
as it is couessedly one of the most sc
rious that has yet arisen, and it will oc-
ca-ion much debate. Il no vote is
reached, the Kellogg Government will
remain, which will be satisfactory to
the Administration aud Mr.. Morton
The latter expresses the belief that, il a
vote can be reached, it vii be untsTor-
able TO his side OF the question
MOsby.
Colonel John s. Mosby, o. rebel guer-
rilla tame, is one of those patient citi,
zens entitled to pity. Every dav he is
sent for by some Of the heads Of depart
ments and offered an Office. Mosby
ircoptinently declines. He's modest
man, and be is afraid Ills acceptance
might be misconstrued by MS trends.
Last Fri 'ay he was requested to call at
the Department Of Justice, be did so,
and Atom Genera Williams asked
him to accept the position Of United
States District Attorney for one OF the
Territories. Mosby was overw helmed.
He begged to be excused. II be accep
ted the place his motives would be mis-
construed. Besides, the salary was in
adequate. 1t ia the impression here
