proved by the hundreds OF

During the examination Of OLIVER AMEs
(son of OAKEs) before the committee on the
onion Pacific investigation on Friday the
chairman asked: Have you knowledge ofany
" bonds, stocks, or any other thing of value,
" having been given by persons connected
"either with the Credit-Mobiier OF Union
q Pacific Railroad Company to any officer OF
"the Government for procuring the accept
" ance of the road or any part thereof"
To this question AAEs answered:
II heard from Mr.. Snyder. the superin.
tendeBt of the road, that he paid Cornelius
Wendell, Government commissioner.
42j 900 for accepting the road. This was 10
1866 or 1867, Wendell having been appointed
by President Johnson he was paid In
money ;Snvdcr said Wendell came there and
declared be would not accept the road unless
he were paid for doing 80; Snyder OIL bis own
yoIition aud without authority from me paid
the S25, 900; when called SNYDER to account,
he said he paid the money under authority OF
DIR. Durant; Snpder retained the money thus
paid out of the freight receipts; Wendell was
making q raid in behalf of Il. Washington
PAPER, and what he did was a matchmaking
operation; at that time we were putting on
the road such cars and locomotives as the
business required /; Snyder was superintend-
snt of the road pretty much all the time
during the construction Of tie road, but Is
not ut the present time ......
To what state of corruption had the cor
poration been brought when it descended to
such an act of bribery. 1t is true WENDELL
was appointed by NJ. JOHNSON. but that does
not affect the nature of The act in any sense.
Bribery and general corruption was the pol
icy adopted, and those who came after WEN
DELL knew the fact us well as WENDELL did,
and of course the policy had to be continued
Hence the "procuring" help in Congress by
the "judicious placing" of Credit-Moblicr
stock where it would be "uScfu."

Union Pacific Railroad.

There was some excitement In Wall street

rumor no doubt grew ont Of the damaging

fore, no great thing has IN reality happened.
II is not likely that the Union Pacific Rail
road Company will suffer much. The Gov

work. 1t will he found that that credit can
not he withdrawn, and that after much ado

Emigration.

The German Government is not pleased
ut the emigration of so many people from its
territory, and is endcavorng to put stop
to it. The Minister of the Interior Of the
Empire has made statement in which he
says that Government hopes to protect-the
outward tide by improving the condition Of
the people at home. This is right. If all
Governments could or would do that it
would be fur better for the happiness of
mankind than the wholesale translation of
populations from their native lands to strange
countries.
For ourselves, we feel that the tile of imm.
grafton flowing into this country is much too
large for Its happiness aud stability. There
is no reason why this country should be
filed up SO rapidly. It does not promote
the independence and happiness of the pco-
pie nor the maintenance Of law and order;
and it certainly is hurrying the advent of the
day when the miseries OF dense popula-
ton which are driving hundreds CT thou
sands lither will be sadly visited upon this
nation. We hope that by the humane policy
protested by the German Minister the
European Kingdoms will keep their pco-
pie at homc-at least that they will put a
check upon the extraordinary volume of i'm
migration tending to this country, so that
1t would he restrained within reasons
BILE bounds, and be conducted according
to the dictates Of a healthy commerce, unds-
turbed by the greedy and sordid combina-
tons to make money by the traffic in in-
porting foreigners. !
