In is charged that the people have been
cheated outright to the tune of $40, 100000
through the Credit Mobilier. This amount
has been taken out of the peoples pockets
in direct taxation, and has gone into the
pockets of members of Congress, Senators
and their confederates in crime, including
the retiring and incoming Vice President.
Then we have the Caldwell bribery case,
in which it is alleged and mainly proven,
that Senator Caldwell bribed the Legisla-
ture of Kansas to make him United States
Senator. Instead of Furnishing him for
it By expulsion, his political
friends simply report that his election was
illegal.
Next comes that i'Christian Statesman"
Pomeroy, of Kansas. He is convicted Of
the most open bribery, one Kansas Senator
(York), swearing to single bride of eight
thousand dollars, seven thousand of which
was paid in cash. Several others make
oath to smaller amounts. Pomeroy still
occupies bis seat in the Senate.
Then comes Patterson of South Carroll
ma, pupil of Pennsylvania Cameron. 1t
is alleged by members of the South Carroll
ma Legislature that his election cost him
seventy five thousand dollars. The ne
groes took Patterson's money in preference
to voting for one of their own men.
gINt,nr shave 10 fI,a Pav- NJ uo-Io, ,-bo
owns up to having taken bride of ten
thousand dollars while he was Secretary of
the Interior. This money was taken for
the ostensible purpose of securing a seat in
the United States Senate. Harlan still oc-
cupies his place in that body.
And now come rumors that bribery has
been resorted to in Florida. A Tallahassee
correspondent gives the facts of the recent
election of F. A. Dockroy to the United
States Senate, from which it is apparent
that Florida is paradise for candidates of
the Pomeroy variety. Mr.. Dockroy's seat
seems to have cost him only $500, divided
up and sealed in yellow envelopes, and dis
tributed among members of the Legisla-
ture. Rufnors of bribery leaked out, and
an Investigation was ordered by the
Legislature. Mr.. Dockroy, himself was
sworn, and admitted that he gave $500
to lobbyist, the denominations of the bills
being mostly Sos and $20s. he claimed
that 1t was loan, and be did not know how
it was expended. The Legislature closed
the investigation by applying the usual
pailful Of whitewash in resolutions, bitterly
censuring the principal witness agains;
Dockroy.
These are only few Of the cases tina
have been developed within few months,
and still the stream OF corruption rolls On;
Every time there is stirring up new reve-
lations Of corruption and fraud are made,
and still the mfn who are guilty Of these
practices go UNPUBLISHED. The course of
the majority in Congress is rather license
than otherwise not only for these men to
persist in their course, but for others to
adopt that policy of getting into rover and
place. Show long, oh, how long!" will the
people of this "great country" submit to
these outrages? s W

IN noticing Senator Pomeroy's denial of
the bribery charge, Gen. Boynton, the
Washington correspondent Of the Cincin-
natl Gazette, alludes TO very unfortunate
personal explanation made by the Kansas
Senator in 1869. Gen. Boynton had called
attention in his correspondence to the
enormous subsidy in lands which, Pomeroy
had obtained for the road of which he was
President, and to the manner in which the
rich Kickspoo reservation had been swal-
lowed up by the same company. Senator
Pomeroy called attention to the letter in
open Senate, denied its statement and de-
dared that "not one acre of land has as
yet been given to that company, although
they have built the road" A few days
afterward Senator Conkling in debate held
up the Atehison Champion, printed at
Pomeroy's home, in which the advertise
ment of Pomeroy's company had been
standing for months, Offering TO sell their
land 40 by 100 miles in extent, contain
ing in the aggregate 100000 acres, and in
Guiding the celebrated Kickspoo reserVa-
tioh." All of which goes to show that, in
matter of denials, Senator POmeroy is not
to be outdone by even Colfax.

1t has always been supposed that illiteracy

The AUaldnche publishes edltorially ru-
mOrs, whlchit says are in circulation, grave
ly duplicating the professional and Judicial
integrity of Chanceiiors Cooper and
Fleming, relative to the case in The Su-
-preme Court about the Torbett Issue Of the
Bank of Tennessee. Where these gentle
men are known, these rumors viii not affect
their reputation.
Aswe have before stated, we think that
the State and the Bank Of Tennessee should
contest every inch of ground in this en-
counter as to the Liability Of either for this
money, not only in the Supreme Court OF
the State, but in the Supreme Court OF
the United States, but we do not believe
any of the reckless charges which have
been made in rumors against the Supreme
Court or the gentlemen who have charge
OF the case on the part of the Bank or Of
the State, and we are somewhat surprised
that so experienced journal as the AUd-
iancke shotild give upon mere rumor
circulation to such charges against
gentlemen occupying the high positions Of
Chancellors Cooper and Fleming. I'm
fortunately, some of the opponents of the
Torbett issue have, in their zeal, been SC
imprudent and reckless in their assertions
that they have somewhat weakened theil
influence by causing a suspicion that there

COLFAx's PREDICAMENT
he COULDN'T REMEMBER.

from MS testimony Jan. "A, 1851
Colfax to the Committee repeat ex-
actly as stated before, that l never re-
ceived dollar on any account from Credit
Mobilier; l never saw this check, and don't
know whether it was signed by o. Ames
or Cakes Ames; why he made this check
payable 10 S. c., cannot imagine; could
not have added to my income 81, 200 with
out remembering something about it.
1.f -, NOW BE REMEMBERS.
From his explanation before the Committee Feb.
.---t ~. II, 1873.
The deposit bills for two hundred dollars
| am positive were paid me. by my step
father, Mathews, on account of debt he
owed me.
On opening the inner envelope found
it contained letter written by Geo. w.
Nesbitt, congratulating me most cordially
and warmly on my nomination for the Vice
Presidency, and saying that the writer de-
sired to send me eonfdentially the remit
lance enclosed to aid me in the heavy ex-
penses of the canvass; but desired it kept
secret, as neither his family nor any one
would ever know it, unless told them.
Enclosed in this was greenback of Ma
tional Bank note for one Thousand dollars.
1t was as gratifying, as it was liberal, and
holding up the letter and bill l asked the
attention of all my family to it, and then
read the letter. ..
The Washington correspondent of the
Louisville Courier Journal says, Feb. Is:
GMr. Colfax is fortunate in the fact that
a search st the First National Bank of this
city reveals that there is a check from Mes
bit for 81 600, the exact amount he states;
but, by the most accursed ill-luck, the check
is dated month later than the payment OF
the 81, 200 draft to him by Cakes Ames.
So that the Vice President will have to try
again at new statement"
There goes the fat into The fire again.
Aud now comes a correspondent of the New
York Sun and says this is not the first time
that Colfax has been at it. In 1862 this
correspondent lived in Colfax's old (the
ninth Indiana) congressional district, and
was present at several of the joint debates
which Cofax held with his then Democratic
competitor, the Hon. David Turpie, after
ward United States Senator. He says:
"At all of these meetings Mr.. Turpie &C.
cused Colfax of having made money by cor
rupt affiliations with railroad companies and
Congressional grants, and be offered to
prove it. Colfax tried to parry this charge
by appealing to his rectitude, and by call
ing his Democratic competitor Copper
head. Still Turpie's accusations made such
an impression on the people Of the district,
where Colfax two years bafcre had 6een
elected by an overwhelming majority, that
be came very near being defeated, or rather
owed his election to very questionable man
ipulations of the ballot box, in Newton
county, newly organized and very sparse
ly settled county. The Hon. Godlove S.
Orth, Congressman from the eighth Indi-
ana district, declares these old charges
against Colfax were true"

A SECONDARY CONSIDERATION.

The Cincinnati Commercial is unmind-
full of whose corns it hurts. 1t says:
"Wilson-the Vice President that is to be
called upon General Boynton, in News
paper Row, and authorized him to make a
sfcomplete deniap of the Credit Mobllier
story so far as it touches him. Boynton
denied accordingly; and there is a sad way
of saying that Wilson rather failed upon
the whole to tell all the truth. Well, he
had to prevaricate a little. 1t was necessa-
ry to save the life of the Nation. The
whole truth would have placed the Repub-
lican party in peril. Greeley might have
been elected. We have no doubt that Will
son is intensely sorry and perhaps is spend
ing great deal of bis time in weeping, but
he can go into his closet and justify him
self, and that's great comfort" iH -
Now, reader, stop and think for mo-
ment. Suppose that much could have been
said, and with equal propriety about one Of
the earlier Vice Presidents-John G. Cal.
houn, for instance-is there man living
who believes he would ever have qualified
and taken his seat? The Vice Presidents
were made of very different stuff then from
what they are now. None but man OF
unsulied honor could have secured an elee.
ton to so responsible position. Now the

THE New York Legislature is asked to
forbid, under heavy penalty, the making
Of fictitious bids at auction sales of real es-
Slte, bonds, and stocks. The principle
might well be extended to other articles.
And why not extend it to fictitious sales,
for instance, of god and bonds, which the
parties offering to sell do not own and
never expect to own. There are millions of
dollars off gold sold dailyi NewYork by men
who do not own thousand dollars of the
stuff. If dealers in gold and bonds were

Tie New Orleans Picdygne calls atten-
ton to the very striking difference between
the letters addressed to President Grant and
the Vice President-elect Mr.. Wilson, 6y
the Congressional Committee, informing
them of their election to the Presidency and
Vice Presidency of the United States. IN the
former there is simple reference to his
former services, and the hope expressed OF
a future successful administration; but in
the latter the white-wash brush is brought
into vigorous operation. Here are the two.
clauses. TO President Grant they say;
GIN performing this official duty we lake
the occasion to tender you our hearty con-
CALCULATIONS for the eminent civil and MILL
tary services you have had the good fortune
to render the United States, and TO express
our confidence and hope that your admin
istration during the term for which you are
now elected will promote the peace, honor
and prosperity of all the people OF the
United States, without respect to personal
or party division"
To Mr.. Wilson they say:
awe take this occasion, while perform
ing this official duty, to congratulate you on
the high honor conferred upon you by the
people of the United States. You have
| long been identified with the Legislative
branch of the Government during period
of unexampled difficulty. We are sure we
state the universal feeling tchen zoe assure
you of their SincereTespect and hearty COCA

The Picayuae regards this as designed
as Congressional Endorsement; and VII
son accepts it as such; for in his reply, he
said-that be "thanked the committee fer
ance Of the respect and good VIII OF UotE
houses of Cong reSs.n Here, adds the Pic
dgrue, is a defiance of public opinion
seldom witnessed in any country. A Sen
ator is detected in being party to one of
the yilest and most stupendous combina-
lions, by the acts of the Legislature to
which he is a member, to cheat and de-
fraud the country of some thirty millions of
money; and, instead of being impeached
and turned out of the high Office he dis
graces, the prospect and good will" of both
branches of Congress is rendered to him by
this joint committee. If it is true, that he
possesses the respect and good ,oiU Of both
branches of Congress, under such circum-
stances, what must the Congress be?
