The details Of the latest ''irregularity" In
financial transactions. which comes from
Boston. may suggest the question whether
the plea OF insanity will not hold good in
other crimes than murder. 1t appears
almost incredible that man Of good bust
ness experience and heretofore undOubted
reputation for integrity should have the
audacity to perpetrate such transparent
frauds as those Of which Mr.. James A. Coe
has been found guilty. The system of
swindling which he carried on was success
full for the briefest period solely because
his standing on the street was good. and
no man In his senses could have hoped tn
escape detection but for very short time
The manner Of operating adopted BY COe
was this. He purchased certificates OF
stock In certain railroads, representing
one or two shares, altered them to one
hundred or two hundred shares, and turn
ed them into cash. The certificates were
unquestiOned until Monday, when q ner-
chant deposited one In bank IS collateral
security, and the cashier, upon . second
examination, found that name had been
erased and another substituted. Another
critical examination showed that two
ciphers had been added. The affair was
kept secret until the detectives traced the
paper back TO Coe. No sooner was the
AFFAIR made public than numerous other
frauds were searched out. and 1t the latest
accounts the amount C0e 10 found to have
stolen thus 10 e332, 600. The losers are:

MIR. BRAXTON made very good
point on Judge Critchcr in their recent dis
cussiOn. The judge justified his vote on
the back-salary grab on the plea that the
salary of congressman-whichw was about
one thousand dollars per month for actual
service when clected-wps insufficient to
support him and two members of his fami-
ly in Washington. Hence, at the end of
his term he had felt authorized and inn
PEELED to grab five thousand dollars more
than he had bargained to serve for,
making his compensation fifteen hun
bred dollars q month. Mr.. Braxton
remarked that Richmond is about
as expensive place to live in as
Washington, and the pay of state sem
ator is only one hundred and eighty dol
lars month. Is it not remarkable that
the Judge, who could not live on thou
sand month in Washington, should be
anxious to try Richmond on one hundred
and eighty? But then his election will
necessarily be construed into an approval
by the people, of back-salary grabs, and
he will be fully authorized to make up any
deficiency in his family expenses by grab
out Of the state treasury.

The maximum of charges for freight
and passenger rates under the new railroad
law of Illinois have just been promulgated
by the railroad commissioners of that
state. Under the new schedule where one
dollar pays for freighting and commodity
one mile, twenty cents will carry it ten
miles further. and after the first hundred
miles is travelled the rate is only four
tifths of one cent per mile for the remain
ing distance, no matter how much that may
be. Passenger rates are three cents per
mile, with one hundred pounds of baggage,
which is nearly one.quarter reduction. The
law does not go into effect until the middle
of January next.

In is said that the government suits
against the Credit Mobilier ring are likely
to fall through altogether. These suits
were instituted with a view to beneftting
the Union Pacific railroad, and with the
understanding that the company would not
make common cause with the Credit Mo
bilier defendants. Horace F. Clarke, late
president Of the company, had agreed TO
remain neutral, but his death caused On
entire change in the aspect of the affair.
The leading stockholders of the road, who
are also prominent members of the Credit
Mobilier ring, have forced the road into an
alliance with the ring, and the government,
being thus compelled to fight those it was
aiming to help, has but little incentive to
60 on with the suits, Or but little chance of
gaining anything by them.
