We have before urged the necessity
of having the investigation, now in
progress at the Capital Of the nation,
iouchingfthe connection Of members
uf Congress with the Credit Mobilier
stock, pushed with vigor and with
ont fear or favor. We have also urg-
ed that 1t be made with open doors,
WHY. this precaGtion, that the country
mako Aup' no judgement until the
fwhoic testimony is in. H
alfe arc more and more Convinced,
TIE more ave 'feflect upon 1t, that this
view OF tho matter is correct. So
believing, we hope the delegation
from Iowa will urge full searching

It is very common tlippant re-

Congress is largely composed of those

ends; that the Offering, degcnerat-
ing golden age, has completely showed
aside the stern old iron age, in poll
tics, and that deplorable state of
pablo morals has settled down upon
+the public veal, until the people have
been seized with universal distrust
and know not how or where to find
relief.
During the great rebellion the mind
and heart of the nation, glowing with
patriotism and imbued with q lively
sense of the great danger, had little
time to look after the heartless pecu-
iasions of the Harpics who pray upon
thc misfortunes Of their country and

Vow these things are here and there
coming to light, and it is of the utmost
Importance, that if there be any man
in Office, either state or national! who
s,.as acted dishonesty, or who held
his own selfish qualification in such
esteem, as to prostitute his public
duties to its attainment, let all the
world know it, that in the future the
pcople may, as they certainly will set
.their seal ofcondemnation upon him.
~, The power of great corporations

operations in this regard, for the good
sof al should be rigidly and merciless.
Ii scanned and the delinquents made
forever the object Of public scorn and
Indignation. We reiterate therefore
our demand for the fullest, most
searching and public investigation of
the Credit Mobilicr scandal.

We notice by the Inter Ocean of the

has. been set on foot in the State of IL

the Object of which is to avoid dis
eliminating rates between Chicago and

itlaiisgs tbs LAW provides a. fellows:

law can be controlled BY legislation.
But perhaps The best feature of all
is fiat embedded in section a5la of the
General Act. Itis as fo|lows:
