NEW YORK.
THE Credit MobiIier.

New YORK, January l2.-The As
sistant Sergeant,atarns Of the House
Of Representatives arrived in this city
yesterday, from Washington, with sub
ppnas for C. H. Durant, ex>Presiden,
Of the Union Pacific railroad, and ex-
Secretary Crane, of the same company,
to appear before the Credit Mobiier
Committee, at Washington. A suit is
about to be commenced against Oakes
Ames, to recover shares Of Credit
Mobilier stock that had been
delivered to him at his request
to he distributed among friends, wnere
it would do the most good for legisla-
tion, &c. This suit will be based on
the assertions Of members Of Congress
and others who insist that they never
received any shares. The directors
declare that Ames Represented that he
distributed q number OF shares given
ta hin. for that purpose, but the recent
President Colfax, Senator Blaine 5esc1 5eesc1
retary Boutwell, and others that they
never received any shares OF Credit
Mobilier necessitates an inquiry why
the shares have not been returned TO
the company by Ames hence the pro-
posed suit has been or is about to he
instituted. This will open the whole
question OF the Credi, Mobilier, inde-
pendent Of the examination now pend
ing before Congress.
VanderbiIts Underground Railway
A rumor having been mooted TO the
effect that the Vanderbilt underground
railway scheme had been abandoned,
it being 'ound that to remove the
water and gas pipes and to reconstruct
the sewers, would involve an outlay Of
money which the Commodore was not
willing to undergo, Mr.. Buckhout.
Chief Engineer OF the line, yesterday,
empb atically denied that the work had
been abandoned, and characterized the
reports to that effect az false. He
states that portions Of the work had
actually been performed and the
scheme found to be practical, and bids
for the execution Of the entire work
are now being received by the engineer
and will be opened Tomorrow.
The Coal Combination.
1t appears from inquiry among the
officers OF the principal coal producing
transportation companies that there is
no immediate danger Of an advance in
price OF coal. the chief agitation being
among dealers. 1t is claimed among
great coal corporations that an advance
will be resorted to only as q necessity.
The weather.
The weather to-day has been cloudy
and frosty. In the north streets OF the
city large quantities Of snow lay piled
up, remnants OF the recent great
storm. All this, however, is being re-
moved as fast as possible by the au-
thorities.
