ber of the party in power, whose trusted leaders,
IN the highest places, are brought to this open
shame. lt is disgrace to all Americans and a

This is not another general order" business
Scurvy placemen Ike Lcet acted only after their

and to-day keeps them in place. But in tliis
Credit Mobilier business, men whose private pro-
bity nobody has hitherto called in question, men
whose private probity everybody would rather be-
lleve than disbelieve in, turn out to be not only
men who are capable of turning their public
trusts 10 their private profit, but men whose word
cannot be taken even when they give it the add-
tlonal sanction of an oath. This is not pleasant
thing, it is painful thing, TO believe of any one
OF them But the belief is forced upon u.s.
Oakes Ames is not willing witness in this mat
ter lie is most unwilling witness. And unless
he has fabricated a statement not only which it is
strongly against his interest TO make but series

have hitherto stood fairly before the world are
henceioTth TO stand before il convicted of being

The ouestion Of restoring to New-York and

Mayor and the Common Council, under which they
hourished before the days of Legislative Boards ana
Commissions has become one of present interest anu
importance in view of the lesson when lhuiscIee'
legislators for the city last Winter were taught oV
the recent election. The present city Charter
when originally presented oy "po"Aoi
Cornell in the Assembly, guaranteed power

Comrissions. bnt the policy of Mayor Havemeyer
nendine its discussion frightened the Republicans
of the two Houses, and they amended the original
draft 70 make 1t fully as stringent as the Charter OF

conscientious Senate, so that the Mayor was per-
mitted 10 exercise considerable power, although
number of Commissions were retained. In the
same manuer reform charter for Brooklyn, which

Of the illness Of Hugh II. Moore, Senator from the

issues decided at the recent election in Brooklyn
none was more clearly defined than that of retau-

have been such fruitful source of corruption in
that city. As the next Legislature will be expected
to take prompt action in reference to these Com

it becomes a matter of public interest to ascertain
how the Brooklyn delegation stand upon the ques-

GEN. M. P. SMALL recently arrived at Prescott, in pursuance of orders, and assumed the duties of Chief Con- missary of subsistence. In General Crooks order announcing the fact, he says:
 In parting with Major Evans, the Department Commander desires to express his appreciation of the zeal, fidelity and ability with which he has fulfilled the duties of his responsible office, rendered more difficult from the fact that during his administration an Indian war has existed, necessitating rapid and unexpected changes of troops, which, to provide for, required unremitting labor and care on the part of the Chief Commissary.

BY an order recently issued at Headquarters Department of Arizona, Dr. V. Havard is, relieved at Camp Grant and ordered to proceed to Hual- pal and there relieve Dr. c. w. Harper; Dr. Harper reports for duty at the Camp near Tucson and relieves Dr. W. w. Bidlack. Dr. s. A. Free man is to report to Camp Bowie to relieve Dr. Samuel l.. Orr. After these changes are effected, Doctors Orr and Bidlack are ordered to report to Headquarters Military Division of the Pacific for annulment of their contracts.
