GOV. CALDWELL,s IMPUDENCE.

Unless Governor Caldwell is utterly
wanting in sensibility, the dignified,
but for all that none the less singing
and whitening, rebuke from the vener-
al lie Senator from Orange, will bring
hi Il to his senses and teach him that
II, cannot transcend the bounds of
official propriety with impunity in his
intercourse with the Legislature.
IT will be remembered by our
readers that on Saturday last Governor
Caldwell SO far forgot himself as to
send a message to the Legislature inn
pudentIy lecturing the members for
the course they had thought proper to
pursue, and audaciously sending them
bill for their action, already drawn
up. The message and illwere referred
to the Joint Select Committee on the
State Debt and Liabilities. On Tues
day the Committee, through its
Chairman. Mr. NORWOOD, made a
report, which Will be found in the
: Legislative proceedings elsewhere.
We have seldom seen impertinence
punished more effectually. 1t is need
less to say that the Senate concurred
in the request of the Committee to be
discharged from the consideration OF
+ the message and bill. We presume
they will now go under the table, rathe,
! than upon it.

ND a grand pcroration with an c1horta-
ton to Heaven to show "mercy to all
people, without regard to age or sex,
race, color or previous condition OF
servitude.", We rather think this may
be aptly described as truly loyal
prayer
On Yesterday Mr.. kames, the smaller
Of the two Pennsylvania lobbyists who
were SO successful in passing the New

bill in such hot haste inst before
the recess, put in second appear
ance. His colleague, Mr.. Smith, he
of ponderous paunch, better known
it is said, in Philadelphia, as "Slushy
Smith" is kept at home by sickness
SO that for the present at least, the
State of North Carolina is deprived OF
the inestimable blessing of his lovely
countenance. It is sad to think that
we shall be obliged to content ourselves
with little Kames. 1t is due to MI.
Kames, however, to say that If he Is
small. that he is quite a lively little
Joker and is fully able to take care OF
himself even if poor "Slushy" is sick.
Mr.. Kames has, I believe, three other
bills before the Legislature; one is to
incorporate Telegraph company an
other to incorporate an Express COM
panv, and the third, to incorporate q
Construction company" These are
companion pieces, it is said, to the
New York, Norfolk and Charleston
Railway. Whether these bills will be
urged as Eastern measures, essentially
necessary to the development of East
! ern Carolina, remains to be seen. Some
of our friends here do not seem to fee
quite easy in their consciences about
the manner in which Wilmington was
treated about the New York, Norfolk
and Charleston Rail Road. Possibly
some of them think that to pass a bill
as an eastern measure" that Injuries

WHAT CREDIT MOBILIER -
MEANS.

\ correspondent, says the Chicago
Tribune, asks the meaning of the
words Credit Mobilier." Several
congressman have asked the same
question: We presume he wishes to
be informed concerning the original
derivation and the use of the term
We will endeavor to explain it. The
Credit Foncier" has long been the
title in France for associations that
advance money ON landed or fDimorablc
securities. The 'Credit Mobilier" was
the lame given to Il powerful corpora
ton, organized in France in 1852, for
advancing money Oh 1nOrablc property.
The name was adopted evidently with
the purpose of affordinS a ready defini-
ton of the object of the association
The "Societe Generate de Credit No
bilier' became a great and profitable
enterprise. 1t had special privileges
under it's charter. It assisted ma
terially in the construction of railways
and the promotion of mining schemes.
Among other enterprises ill which it
was notably interested were the Gov
eminent loan on account of the Rus
sian war, the Grand Central Railway
Company, and the General Omnibus
Company of Paris. At one time it adj
vanced two hundred and fifty million
francs, and at another time three hun
bred and eighty-five million francs, to
| the French Government. Its business
! was SO great in 1856 that it declared a
dividend OF forty per cent. On its
capital. While it was manifestly the
means of doing much good in France,
it eventually failed.
The introduction of the terms Credit
| Foncier" and "Credit Mobilier" into
America is due to Mr.. George Francis
Train. He established "Credit Fon-
cier" with Omaha lands, which he
bawked about the country some years
ago. He gave the name Credit Mo-
bilier OF America" TO a corporation
with universal privileges, which was
organized in Pennsylvania. It was ap-
propriated by Messrs. Cakes Ames,
! Durant d. Co., to serve as the party of
| the third part in the famous " tripli-
cate agreement" by which the mana
gers of the Union Pacific Railroad let
out the contract for building the road,
i'll payment for which they modestly
took the road itself, all the United
States bonds, all the first mortgage
bqn4s, !qllthe United States lands, ETC.,
at profit 81 !9Eer one thousand per
cent, on ap entirely feaiogs capital.
This transaction WAS Literally f Efe3it
on Moysblas, the United States Coy
eminent furnishing the credit and the
money, and Messrs. Oalees AH1es, pu-
rant & Co. taking the movables--that
is. the securities and the prof,ts

The Boston Globe (Republican) says ::
The heaviest burden borne by the
United States mail is the necessity of
transporting free matter by the ton
daily, and in all directions, under the
ranking privilege. Irrespective of
the misuse of the privilege by mem
bers of Congress, the system itself is
charity to a certain class of office
holders, for which there is no reason.

men to keep a postage account, and
