Al GENERAL apprehension is said to

Al GENERAL apprehension is said to
prevail that the suit of the government
against the Credit Mobilier of America is
in very badly muddied way. In fact, it
has just been discovered that the attempt to
recover from the Credit Mobilier the
moneys Of which it has defrauded the
Union Pacific railroad, is likely to result
in entire failure. II may not be generally
understood that the suit is not designed to
benefit the United States except indirectly,
by placing the railroad in solvent condi-
ton; but itappears that theprincipal govern
ment solicitor has been informed Of a move
ment for uniting all the forces of the road
against the government, in consequence OF
which its position is weakened If not alto
gether destroyed. 1t is said that the COM
bination by which the road is making COM
mon cause with the defendants, against the
United States, was unexpected and unpro-
vided for, although the government counr
sci had ample time to guard against all
such exigencies. The principal defendants
are heavy stockholders in the Union Pa.
cifc, and it is thought that the combination,
which is extensive and complete, will effec.
tually defeat the government suit.

The trial in the Walworth case has
been as remarkable as the crime itself. 1t
is scarcely more than four weeks since the
deed was perpetrated. and yet the ques-
ton is on the point Of going to the jury.
Instead Of the delays which are proyerbi-
al in murder trials, there has been on
every side desire to dispose Of this as
promptly as possible, and the defence have
gone about it with drectness and energy
which are rather calculated to help their
case. AS was expected. the trial has un-
folded sad story Of domestic trouble,
and in the light Of his brutal letters and
general conduct, the character Of the MUIR
dered man is utterly odious and abhorrent.
But, without now discussing what be-
longs to the jury, this made the deed none
the less murder. and there is no Other
safety for society but to maintain the SUI.
premacy of the law.

eTs, 1878. gl- sE si
We have just received this sprightly
and exceedingly interesting volume, oc some
four hundred and fifty pages, from one Of
the most gifted. editorial pens in the coun-
try. The anecdotes were originally pub
lished in the Washington Sunday Chronicle
and Philadelphia Press, and were widely
read and circulated in the newspaper coll
umns of the day. They have been COM
piled and published in a beautiful volume,
and will be found of great interest to the
American student, who seeks . genial
view Of men and things during the period
they historically cover. Mr.. Forney
writes not only gracefully, but impartially
and even generously, Of those with whom
he has been more or less Identified, polit-
ically, during the last twenty years. The
book is for sale by West. Johnston & Co.,

from the character Of the resolutions passed.

sufficient confidence to be willing to deploy their
forces and let the public see how many voters
will answer to their musterroll. If they are
worth our alliance that rs the manly way TO prove
it. II they think they can supplant the Demo-
cratic organization, that is good way TO begin.
Until they have made an authentic demonstr ira
ton of their strength coalition would be en-

unites those Of the same calling into one
great brotherhood for the protection Of
all. It establishes in every neighbor-
& hood q lecture -room--yhich is tho
grange itselEA-in which the important
truths are nnfoldad. It.diaseminstes
valuable information, that all may be
benefited. It collects as we'll as
disseminates. It is an intellectual insti-
tuition. In calls for an exeroiae of the
mind. It brings mind in contact with
mind, and yet, by the contact, other
minds are illuminated by the friction.
1t draws our our latent talent. It makes
active and tangible what has been be-
fore dormant and unseen. It shows the
Importance Of cultiyating brains as well
as soil. 1t demonstrates tho fact that as
rich harveats are developed by brain
culture as by soil culture; that a great
crop of weeds has grown up and smother
ed out the useful plants by the neglect
of brain culture. The grange is social
institution. It makes grand brother.
and sisterhood. It unites by strong
ties those that have been before
strangers. It makes each feel an inter-
est in all, and all in each. 1t heals up
the wounds of the unfortunate. It
administers comforts to the sick and
olevates the suferings of the distressed.
It is husband to the widow and
father to the orphan. It makes every
ncighborhood one kind, affectionate
family. It is financial institution. 1t
seeks to obtain for its members the
highest price for their products. It
looks to the good Of oil. It learns how
and when the price can be obtained. It
cuts the Gordian knot which has bound
the farmer to the middle man, who has
absorbed the chief profits of his labor.
It buys the necessaries of life where
they can be got cheapest and best. It
throws it's protecting arms over and
around all, and would make them more
independent.
