The Detected congressman.

"Suppose,' remarked guest to hi.
hotel landlord, suppose that a stranger
| should leaYe ten thousand dollars with
you, and never come back fop it. What
should you do pray for him ?" mo. y
was the reply, II should pray for another
like him 1t is doubtful whether Col
fax would pray for another Nesbitt, with
a thousand dollars donation The story
has been SO riddled and ridiculed, is so
improbable and obviously gotten up for
the occasion, that the poor devil who used
it as shield, is doubtless ashamed of his
poverty Of invention
But Colfax is as we'll off as the rest of
that demoralized Credit Mobilier crowd,
who have done nothing but to rise to
| ridiculous explanations for the last sixty
| days-as though such transactions admit
| ted of any explanations consistent with in
| tegrity and faithfulness to high trust. The
| whitewashing report by which the whole
blame is sought to be shifted to the should
ers Of Ames and Brooks, is secuted by
every honest man. The press of the conn-
try, democratic, republican and independ-
emf, with one accord, stigmatize it as a
shame to our country and q reproach to
those who make it. The report bears
evidence of cunningly contrived plaH TO
let off the great bulk of the guilty lead
ers who have been caught in the trap by
making a scapegoat of Ames and Brooks.
The former is to be punished for having
made a damaging exposure of his party
friends, and the latter because be is a
democrat-and can thus be made to suffer
vicariously in the name of his party, and
bear one half the guilt By this report,
the radical party is made to own the
briber, and the democrats the recipient of
bribe9-while such sinners as Bingham,
Kelley, Garfield, Schofeld and Dawes,
are permitted TO escape expulsion
What, in the name of Heaven, were
these last named members in Congress
for, if not to guard the interest OF the
country They must have known at
once, when approached by Ames, that the
protfer of his stock was meant rs bride.
No man of any perceptions could fail 10
see that When the owner of stocks tina I

He goes to the monied centres, to Wall

fair Ames knew that the transaction he
engaged in was dishonorable, the men,
bers that accepted his bait know it, the
committee that has made this whitewash-
ing report knows it, and the people know
it.
No one can say what disposition will
be made of the matter. The storm of in
dignation is having its influence at Wash

The BRIDGE Case.

Belfast is doomed in regard to the
bridge, the bill having passed both branch
es with permission to cross at any point
which the company may select. Regret
ting the fact as much as we do, the truth
is still apparent that the people OF Belfast
are to blame for allowing the case to go
to the Legislature unsupported Messls.
Brooks and Boardman have done all they
could, but there was needed the preseace
OF prominent citizens of Belfast to meet
similar efforts on the other side With
the Justice of the question all with us, and
favorable committee report, we lost the
case. Clearly in the wrong as the COM
pany was and is, and in face of an adverse
report, it won by force of labor and per-
sistence A strong lobby camped upon
the spot and worked with energy from the
time the bill was reported until it had
been amended and passed. During this
time Belfast was represented in THE lobby
solely by Barney Roberts, who gave his
official opinion, as Collector of Belfast
that the bridge would do no harm to the
harbor! How it happens that Roberts,
who lives and trades at Stockton, and is
the Siamese twin with Hichborn, was al
lowed to take this position at Augusta
without being met there, perhaps those
whose interests are ieopardized can ex-
plain. How it happens that he has that
official position to abuse is something for
the republicans of this vicinity to explain.
We were before aware that Roberts had
got astride the necks of the republican
party in Belfast, but this later revelation
| shows that the material interests of the
city are likewise at his mercy. He has
only, like Gessler, to stick his cap on a
| pole in front of the Custom House, and
all must bow down. And, ye gods, such
q ruler Poor Belfast!

fast road, has Just been heard before
Judge Kent, at Auburn The Legislature
OF 1872 granted by special act charter
to the Lewiston and Auburn Railroad
Company to construct road from Lewis
ton to some point on the Grand Trunk
Railway. Lewiston, by an almost unani-
nous vote subscribed to the amount of
2245 shares at the par value of 800. This
case is proceeding under the Maine
Revised Statutes for an injunction to en-
join the city of Lewiston from issuing its
bonds in aid of said road and to restrain
the Lewiston and Auburn Railroad from
suing the city. After a very full hearing,
Judge Kent decided against the petitioners
for injunction, on the ground of want of
jurisdiction.
