A Burning Mountain.

A strange freak of nature is exhib-
tied at what is known as Copperas
Mountain, sixteen miles from Chilli
cothe, Ohio, which has been on fire
internally since the first of October
last, destroying all vestige of vegeta-
ton round about. No investigation
has yet been made, the heat being too
intense to permit of q search. Re-
ports on Monday say there was an ex-
plosion in the hill the day before and
the soil on the side upheaved, creating
considerable of an aperture. No par
ticulars are yet known. This curious
freak of nature is the wonder of all
the surrounding country, for the rea-
son that no suspicion has ever existed
that coal or other combustible sub
stance could be found in that section,
and no surmise can be formed as to
the kind of substance that is burning.
The latest accounts say the flames
have perceptibly subsidized, and it is
hoped the ground will soon become
cool enough to allow an investigation
as to the cause of the phenomena.

The Credit MobiIier system.

The New York Herald, which has
hitherto steadily and persistently sup
ported the Administration, seems to
be getting restless over the corruptions
unearthed by the investigations now
going on in Washington. In its i:sue
of the 9th inst, we find the following !:
The investigation into the Credit
Mobilier corruption did not present
any interesting feature yesterday.
The opening OF the doors of the COM
mittee room appears to have deprived
the examination of much of its spicy
character. Meanwhile the inculpated
members and their friends are endeav-
oring to avail themselves of the plea
that in the "placing" of stock Oakes
Ames never attempted to influence or
bribe member, but intended his gen.
erous friendship only as a pure busi-
ness transaction. A burglar does not
carry his jimmies, skeleton keys and
dark lantern exposed to public view,
but hides them away in his pockets
under his coat. A person who sets
about "placlng" money or its equiva-
lent among Congressman " where it
will do the most good" does not pro-
claim to the world that he is buying
corrupt votes, but assumes an air of
innocence and talks about " business
transactions"

WE have another instance to record

WE have another instance to record
of the Kindness of Mr.. Grant to
thieves and public enemies. James
II. Brown, of the Fire Department in
Philadelphia, spent the October cleo
ton day in driving rapidly from poll
to poll, and voting in the name of diff
ferent citizens whose names were on
the register. When challenged he
swore his vote In and committed per-
jury. He was tried in the United
States District Court, convicted, and
sentenced to eighteen months i'm
prisonment. He served eighteen
days. and was pardoned by Mr.. Grant
the President of the United States
He voted, of course, for the Hartranft
and Grant tickets.

What Becomes of the Money?

The talented Mr.. Beck, member of
the House at Washington, from Ken
lucky, in speech the other day said
that in the seven years ending June
80, 1872, tho U. S. Government has
collected from customs and internal
revenue nearly three thousand mill
ions of dollars, and besides the pro-
ceeds of The sale of military stores,
amounting to $l35, 100000. During
the same period $l25,00U,OO0 gathered
in by the Post Office Department and
S500,0O0 by the Patent Office. Dur
ing the whole period named the ag-
gregate receipts were So, ,402, ,536, 1852.
OF this sum $457, 1866, ,54l had been
paid on account of the public debt
leaving $2.965, 1921 to be accounted
for at the rate of $425, 5,019,9S7 year!
Figures are said to afford dry SUBJ
ject for study; but surely when they
Indicate such reckless and criminal
waste of the public money, it will
pay the mass OF the people to devote
more attention thereto.

Credit mobilier Corruption

Public opinion forced Congress to
order that the Credit Mobilier Inves-
tigating Committee should no longer
be held with closed doors, and the
testimony which is now made public
shows that substantially all those who
were charged with being implicated
in the corruption were concerned in
the affair, and the testimony of
Oakes Ames, which has been publish
ed in full duplicates more members
of Congress than were included In
the list which he furnished to Me-
Comb, and which were extensively
published during the late political
campaign. An exchange says:
There is popularity running
through the testimony which cannot
fail to strike the reader. Most of the
members of Congress whom he ap-
preached readily accepted the stock
but the moment there was likelihood
of the transaction becoming known
they hastened to get rid of il. The
question naturally arises, why they
should be so anxious to conceal their
connection with matter that was so
entirely creditable and business-like
as they now claim this to be. Anoth-
er question which comes uppermost
in the mind OF the ordinary observer
is, why did these men deny, so point
edly aud uuequivocally, that they ever
owned. directly or Indirectly, any of
the stock, the purchase of which thew
now claim was SO innocent and busi-
ness-like. Another question which
agitates the minds OF some is, why
should Oakes Ames sell stock to
members of Congress at par when all
the testimony goes TO show that it
was worth about 800 per cent. premi-
um, and produced dividends enough
to make an ordinary man rich on the
investment of thousand dollars
These questions will force themselves
uppermosr in the vulgar mind, not
wifhstanding the immaculate purity
of the members of Congress implica-
ted, the business-like character of the
purchase, or their denial that they
ever owned any of the stock.
The case now stands in the light of
the assertions of these men and the
testimony before the Committee, about
as follows: First, they never owned
any of the stock; and, second, they
paid for iG when they got it.

Spicy Revelations in Indian At
fairs.

A few days ago, the Committee on
Indian Affairs were put to their
Trumps by Senator Thurman, who
analyzed the relations of the Govern
ment to the redskins in a highly in
teresting manner. In 1910, right at
the close of great Indian war; ow-
ing to the expenditure for the reno
val of Indians west of the Mississippi,
the Indian approx r.aii3n rose to 81
250,OO0. To-day it is proposed 10
spend S5,500,O00 for the support of
probably not more than 100000 Indi-
ans, the whole humber in the United
States Being not more than 10000.
At this rate the Government was pay
ing $3.50 for every Indian man, wo-
man, and child. He denied that the
expenses of the army had decreased
as the Indian appropriation had in
creased. There were more suffering
people, he said, every winter in any
two cities in the country than among
all the Indians, and yet the Govern
ment did nothing for them, for there
were no jobbers and traders TO be pro-
vided for. Talk about cruelty to In
dians-he declared that never in the
history Of the world had barbarous
people been treated with SO much hu-
manity by any nation. This vast sum
of money was to be given to civiliZe
the Indians, and yet by the same bill
it was provided that 500 Indians in
Wisconsin, who were surrounded by
civilizing influences, should be trans
ferred west of the Mississippi. I'm
der the boasted peace policy of the
Government the expenses had nearly
doubled. Congress ought to know
when this matter was to end. Sena-
tor Nye, of Nevada, made q speech
much in the same strain, declaring
that all treaties with the Indians ought
to be abrogated, and that the only
way TO civilize the Indians was to sur
round them with ciyilizing influences,
instead of driving them away to lead
savage lives on their reservations.

Fred Warnke, who lived four miles
from Henderson, was found on Tues
day frozen to death within hundred

THE taxes of Ohio for State purpo-
ses were $2,754,OOO in 1856, the last
year of complete Democratic ascen-
dency in the State Government. Last
year they were $4,414OOO. The en-
tire taxes, State and local, were less
than nine millions in 1856, but they
are now over twenty-three millions.
Why should our State taxes almost
double and treble in sixteen years 1t
is because the people have kept in
power wasteful and corrupt Admin
istrations, simply for the reason that
they were called Republican.-EnQ.

SPITE WoRK.-Postmaster General
Creswell is playing a very adroit
game to avenge himself of the news
papers of the country for their ami
madyersions upon his Chorpenning

proposed to the House Committee on
Postofices to reduce the postage on
letters to two cents per half ounce,
and to require the prepayment on all
printed matter, except weekly papers
circulating in the counties where
, printed, claiming that it would add
81, ,30O,000 to the revenues of the De-
partment.

To what dreadful pass have we
come when it is proposed to cut down
the national revenues in order to sup
press the national extravaganza. Yet
it is gravely said that the House Ways
and Means Committee are discussing
this view of the situation. Congress
holds the purse-strings of the nation !;
yet Congress cannot trust itself with
the revenues, and asks that this tempt
alton may be removed from it.
