REsIGNATIoN.-We regret TO hear that
Supt. CLEMENS has declined AN acc,ptance of
the position of superintendent which has been
rendered him for the coming year. lie has
accepted a similar position in the city of
Worcester, at II salary of $1,000. The step
we regret, as its effect upon the schools, which
are now in an efficient working ordcr-such
as we think, has not before Deen enjoyed--may
be adverse. An interruplion--more or less
pr,judicial--must necessarily result, whoever
his successor may be, and fortune must be on
our side, il we secure gentleman of equal
ability and tact, To fill the place. In conncc-
ton with this dcclinali0n,w we have also To note
the resignation OF &. w. Dickinson, President
of the Board. The services of Mr. Dickinson
have been Of Il 'ry useful character, and some
deliberation will be required to select sue

HE'LL GATE.-While on a trip East, our
neighbor Dickinson paid visit 10, and took II
survey of the wonderful work in progress to
reduce this turbulent and dangerous bit of
navigation 10 the condition of a highway of
smoothness and security. The amount of
rock that has been taken out is pr0digious and
beyond appreciation, without seeing it. The
greatness of the work. and the practicability
of success, has not, in his view, been over
drawn, and the accomplishment Of the enter
prise hardly admits of a question. This may
really be called the work Of the century. A
quantity of garnets taken from these rocks,
brought up from many yards below the sur
face, and over which have sailed the Sound
coasters for generations, were brought home
by Mr. Dickinson, and may he examined ut
our desk.

Passenger traffic between the village and

noticeable matter. The bus, mucA OF the time

are made, and the accommodation is highly
appreciated From this, may in small meas
ure, be Judged the importance of II smooth
and c0mmUdious avenue betwe, N these points,
and we are glad to see that the corporation
recognizes that Importance. Commissioner
Fuller is doing up the village portion-which.
by the way, is nearly half the dislance-in

such a bridge as our friend MAC has now put
in readiness tor use, wilt make the drive u very

THE CREDIT knRILlER.

The frequent ailus"ns t. til. recent
frauds chat have heen pc:petysied, and
the alleaged criminalty of several emf
nent Congressman, in connection with
the Credit Mobilier. renders m expla-
nation of the origin of the term, and
its present use necessary. The" Credit
Mobilier." was a joint stock company
founded in Paris in 1852, working un-
der a government charter. for the
transaction of general monetary bus
mess. having for its ostensible object
the advancement of national industry
and the promotion of public enterprise.
1t had authority to acquire shares and
bonds in industrial enterprises, and to
issue its own bonds for an amount
equal to ten times its original capital.
BY one of its most eloquent opponents
it was characterized as "the greatest
gambling house which the world ever
saw"
The institution in this country ap-
pears to- be the means of even worse
practices than its European prototype,
if the half that is said is true in relation
to it. As at first constituted it was a
company, formed under IN act of the
Pennsylvania Legislature, consisting OF
seven persons, to speculate in Govern
ment bonds. These persons, or the
little clique they represented, obtained
control of the building and equipment
of the Union Pacific Railroad, and at
their own prices. In other words, they
contracted with themselves, rs L" trus-
tees for the contractors" all of them
being shareholders in the railroad COM
pany, to construct the road at from
$50, 900 to s60, GOO per mile, while the
actual cost, including equipment has
not exceeded $500 per mile. Out Of
these enormous profits of the job, it is
charged they have bribed prominent
Congressman to favor by friendly leg
islation their plunderins scheme.
! The road, it will be remembered, was
built from the proceeds of United States
bonds, so it is the people who have
been swindled by the transaction. An
amount fully equal to one-half the cost
of construction of the whole road, now
constitutes q portion of the national
debt, upon which the taxpayers arc
obliged to pay interest as we'll as the
principal, through this infamous swim.

that some of the members whose integ
