Durant gave money to elect Senators Thayer
and Harlan out of pure philanthropy or from
motives of disinterested friendship. Indeed
both of these speculative railway managers
confess, with pleasant confusion, that they
thought it would be good thing to have "a
friend" in the Senate. Mr.. Harlan was
thought by the gentleman who took stock in
his election to be especially open to friendly
advances" although he lived on the line OF
"a rival roadn This is delicious; and so is
the additional euphuism that Mr.. Harlan had
lived long enough in Washington to under
stand the wants of the State and not allow
his Judgment to be subverted by his topo-
graphical relations to rival line.
But is not all this miserable business Y Here
are Senator'S accepting money to use IN pro-
noting their elections in State Legislatures.
They take it from men who represent railroad
enterprises which are sure to be compelled to
pass before the Senate in the guise of petit
TONERS for favorable legislation We have
nothing now to do with the way in which the
railroad tribute money was spent. MIR. Durant
thinks his $4,000 was used to subsdize Iowa
newspapers in the Harlan interest. For the
honor of the profession, we hope not. But the
enormity of the wrong lies in the acceptance of
(if not the application for) these corrupting
influences. There is no possible explanation
of such course of conduct that is
consistent with sound morality or good gov
ernment. Money cannot be honestly used in
a Senatorial canvass of a State Legislature
Money cannot be honestly accepted by candi-
dates for Congress from agents Of corpora
tions interested in Congress legislation. See,
then, how one railroad corporation has made
its money power felt in the American Con-
gress. With Oakes Ames lending money
freely to some Members of Congress and
putting others L" in the way of a good thing"
and Bushnell and Durant giving a lift
to still others who very much want
to 90 to the Senate, the Union Pacific
Railroad Company seem to have done
tidy business. Yet good oldfashiOned people
who think of the Senate as it was when Ben
ton, Calhoun, Clay, and Webster were in it,
are shocked that there are icOnOclasts who
refuse to hold their hand. The idol is broken;
but we are beginning to find out that the men
in the Senate are responsible for the ruin.
The tone of public morals has gone down;
we are gradually discovering the men who arc
responsible for its fall
New-York tribune., 1873-01-16
DUST TO DUST.

The laying away of the clay which was
Louis Napoleon was accomplished yesterday
with all the show and parade which could be
given to the ceremony by the courteous care
Of the British Royal family. These are too
trOublous times for croEps, for their wear
ers to omit any possible manifesto
ton of respect for each other. A
dozen years ago when the Emperor
visited England, with much of the favor of
his earlier scampishness hanging about him, the
most virtuous Of all queens received him with
the kiss of cOusinship. Now that 80 many
years of royalty have given him their facttious
conservation, and disaster and death, plac-
ing him beyond possibility of further trans
gressions, have given an opportunity
for compassionate humanity to assert
itself, it is not on the whole strange
that the Court Of England should show what
cvility was in it's power to the funeral of the
dead Emperor and guest. But neither in En-
gland or elsewhere has there been any popu-
lar sorrow, any sense that great man
has fallen or that good man is
gone While his corpse lay in state, the
French residents of New-York held their
gayest masque of the Carnival, and no one
saw any incongruity in it. Among sovereigns,
his death is a matter of ceremony. Among
politicians it is the elimination of an unknown
quantity. But the world at large regards it
as matter of news, subject of curiosity
without emotion.
This is, after all, the sentence and judgment
passed upon his life by the instinct of man
kind. His disasters, his dechGance and exile
do not so clearly pass condemnation upon
him. If he had died in the purple, the final
verdict would have been the same. He lived
his life out. 1t is not probable that the war
New-York tribune., 1873-01-16

He must travel fast who would keep up with
moral and material progress in Japan. The
latest news from that inspired country is Curl
ously heterogeneous in its terse items. Actors
and wrestlers are warned that they have three
years in which to choose some "mOre useful
:" and honorable employment" Think of Edwin
Booth and Mr.. Thomas Sayers being rele-
gated to private life! Male Japanese
need no longer shave their heads; but
the top-knot must not come down. Ma
tive petitions for railroads and telegraphs are
graciously granted, and the construction of
lines is to be under the supervision of the
Board of Public Works; this last phrase has
an alarming suggestion of NewYork politics
about it. So, what with the abolition of prize
fighting and play acting, the construction of
railroads and encouragement of hair-growing,
the extension of religious toleration, and refor-
nation of police and judicial systems, we may
conclude that Japan is fairly launched on the
troubled sea of progress.

A NEW PHASE or CORRUPTION

There is no end TO the scandal which the
Credit Mobilier investigation is bringing out.
The latest Is Sire TO be overtOpped next day
by something more repulsive and startling.
Yesterday, for example, in the most casual
way, it CAME out that two Senators were "as-
SISTED" in their local contests by high officials
of the Union Pacific Railroad Company. Mr.
Thomas C. Durant, in one of the Congress
Committees, testified that he gave $4,000 to
help Mr.. James Harlan to the Senate
from Iowa, and, in the other Com
mittee, Mr.. G.. s. Bushnell, one of the
Union Pacific Directors, testified that he
performed like service for Mr.. John NJ.
Thayer, who formerly represented the State of
Nebraska in the United States Senate. Mr..
Bushnell, however, only gave $1,000 to help
Mr. Thayer; we do not know yet if any other
corporation agent was equally generous. We
are left to surmise If other corporations
were induced to take any shares in these
Senators. There is no reason to Suppose that
various moneyed interests might not have been
represented in the persons of the gentlemen
named.
We are told that Mr. Ben Holiday, a fnancier
and speculator of great renOwn in the Pacific
States, when once asked to help elect q can
didate for the Senate, said that he had owned
stock in pretty much every species of property,
from Missouri bull-team to an ocean steam
ship line, but never yet in United States
Senator; he would like few shares. This
seems to be just what the Union Pacific Rail-
road people have been doing. Nobody will
pretend that either Mr.. Bushnell or Mr..
New-York tribune., 1873-01-16

The Hon. L. V. Bogy, who has just been
elected to the Senate from Missouri, starts
with good platform. In his returning
" thanks" speech, be pledges himself to the
support of an economical government, decen-
tralzaton, amnesty, and defense of local in
ylustrial interests. The tariff -tinkering flavor
which pervades his declaration of principles
may be set down TO the atmosphere of Mis-
sourl.

lately issued circular giving directions to sea
captains about the preservation of specimens Illus
trative of natural history for the Museum. When
the articles be sent in spirits the curator ad
vises that little tartar emetc be added, as cases
had arrived at the Museum from which the thirsty
mariners had abstraoed the alcohol in consequences
OF which the specimens were in miserable pickle

Coasting on the Common is favorite Winter
amusement in Boston, but the seds have a way of
getting tangled with the legs of pedestrians which
results in mutifarious fracture and confusion. An
unfortunate apothecary in the neighborhood has q
shop so conveniently situated that all the accidents
are carried into it for treatment. The time required
for proper attention of the patient from quarter
of an hour upwards during which it is necessary to
keep the curtains down and the door locked. The
general drug and medicine business is, therefore.
most seriously interfered WITH greatly to the dis
couragement of the worthy apothecary, who looks
for a good thaw with eager interest.

From China comes a grotesque account of an
alleged attempt to assassnate the young En-

foreigner, who is said to have given the Son
of Heaven, ON his wedding day, two enormous
wax candles, which were found to be veritable
internal machines designed to blow His I'm
perial Majesty sky-high. Happily, this was
prevented by an examination. This fantastic
story is undoubtedly the creation of some
imaginative Chinese official, and is designed to
increase popular hatred of " the foreign devils"

the removal of the Kickapoos and the

crossed the Rio Grande into Mexico,
and have been constantly raldihg upon
and devastating the American settle

succeeded in persuajing some four or
