men like the above filled their
pockets with the money Of the
Nation and become suddenly
very rich. 1t is claimed by the
truly moral, aud by the truly
loyal, that the members Of Con
gress haVefa right to take stock,
if they choose, in any enterprise
offered to.ttbem. A member of
Congress unquestionably has the
right to make anyElegislatiye in
vestment of his unemployed
funds that he pleases. But when
a certain stock which draws divi-
bends of 130,eper cent, within
ak months is oferedto Congress-
men, and nobodyfelse, at par and
interest, and 10 payment requir
ed, even at that rate, and a guar

bers Of Congress who are both
honest and Intelligent ought to
suspect that something is rotten
in Denmark. Especially ought
theyabo supect this when divi-
dends which they receive are
taken out of the assets of bank

which begs for charity from the
Government after it had received
$27, 200, 600 and measurless values

that tie men who voted out of
the Treasury of the United States

favor of "a needy corporation,
believed to be worthy and of
national importance received
dividends at the rate of 800 to
500 per cent. per annum out of
this very money they had voted
away from the public, and never
whispered the belief that all was
not right. The Credit Mobilier
men were the managers of the
Union Pacific Railroad. The
Credit .Mobilier was a private
corruption, while the Union Pa
cifc Railroad Company was
backed by the Government. As
Credit Mohiliers they could rob
themselves as managers, or the
Union Pacific, knowing that the
loss would fall not on themselves,
but on the Government. By q
plea OF impecuniousness the
managers of the railroad induced
the United States to swap a first
mortgage for second mortgage,
