impressive, For il we may judge from what
we hear and read of them they indicate a
dreamy Weakening from the great and absorb
ing happiness of the rescue TO the slow con-
seriousness of corroding cancer and living
death. 1t would not have been singular or
worth remarking If one, two, or halt dozen
of the commemorative addresses had Impressed
the necessity of watchfulness to preserve pure
and honest the Government which 1t had cost
so many precious lives to maintain But when
from every soldiers cemetery In the North
come as with one voice notes OF sadness ana
of warning from those whose love OF country
is no less than their reverence 1or
the memory of the hOnOred dead,
there is more than ordinary meaning
in it, It is idle to say that we have
come into an atmosphere of calumny and
detraction, and that the prevailing skeptlcism
regarding the honesty of public men Is at
tributable ito that. The melancholy fact is
that the people have lost confidence IN the
men and the parties they have heretofore
trusted implicitly, and their judgment is based
not on calumnies and ISLANDERS, but on ad-
mitted and incOntrovertible facts. 1t was IN
vain they walked backward with averted eyes
and attempted to hide tho shame OF their
representative men OF their party. There can
be no conceaIments of such disgraceful things
as have happened to us in the twelve months
past All the world knows them. 1t Is need
less to catalogue or recite them.
The general observance of the day set apart
for decorating the graves of the soldiers killed
in the war, has brought together expressions OF
feeling from nearly all classes and from
widely separated localities. They agree as in
deed the utterances of our pulpits. so far as
they touch the marrow of the time, agree, In
deprecating the evils of corruption and dis
honesty, and in foreboding disaster to the
nation unless some remedy is found. What is
the remedyi That is the practical question.
1t is a good sign, perhaps. that think
ing men the country over are begin
ming to uncover their thought and to
discuss the peril. 1t is something gained
when men who were partisans before election
open their hearts and their mouths, and speak
out, even after election, when tho party can
not be Immediately damaged. 1t is long
step from this to the remuneration of partisan
ship and willingness to merge all cOnsidera-
tions in the chief one how TO escape the con-
dition of things which was described over the
soldiers graves last week. Perhaps we shall
come to that in time. Meantime the signih-
cant coincidence of treatment of the pOliti-
cal situation in all these memorial ADDRESSED
deserves to be thOughtfully pOndered.

4 STnNIEIclNT COINCIDENCE.

1t was marked feature of the orations and
addresses delivered In various places through
out the country last week, on the occasion of
decorating the soldiers graves, the prevailing
idea that the peril that besets the nation from
the corruptions of politics and the low and
debased standards of public morals is full as
great as that through which we passed in the
four years war. 1t was more or less promi-
nent in all the public addresses. 1t was an
undertone of sadness profounder than that
which flowed out of all our bereavements; a
feeling that somehow struggled for expression,
but choked in the utterance, that, possibly,
after all-after all-those dead heroes died in
vain; that the shock Of war had been
safely passed oily to give the worm
and the rot their prey. No casual
observer can glance over the differences
of the memorial orators without being struck
with this significant feature Of them all. Ia
there anything in this worth moments
thought Or shall we dismiss the subject
with the reflection that this scarcely uttered
wall Of foreboding grew out Of the mournful
theme Of their DISCOURSE There must be
some meaning in such a coincidence as this.
Those chosen orators, we may well believe,
were without exception the loyal friends Of
those whose graves they came TO decorate
and of the cause in which they died. Over
the tender melancholy of their tributes 10
martyred heroes we should expect there would
rise the grander strain of triumph and ex
ultation that they had not died in vain that
in their blood the seed of liberty and of free
and honest government had sprung ND and
BONE fruit for the healing of the nations.
Something of this there was, but always too
plainly tempered with a dull, oppressive sense
of un6tness to the time and the situation.
In more senses than one the ceremonies of
Decoration Day this year were solemn and

cation Of the ministry. at least in Il.
vented, until MIR. Plimsoll adopted N.
course of creating popular feeling on the
subject. The measure of success which WA
likely to attend this proceeding was less de-
pendent on the justice Of his cause than on
bis skill in bringing it before the people. He
published in book the evidence which he
had collected, and the narrative, with
out any pretension TO high literary merit,
nevertheless commended itself TO the
public mind from the simplicity Of his styls
and the clearness of his dictiOn. His book be-
came q success; and to this unusual circum.
stance is to be ascribed the fact that he
finally, in the present sitting of Parliament,
secured certain amount of attention which
was warranted by the subject two years ago.
But the hearing which he received was of most
inadequate character.
Something over q fortnight ago he moved
the second reading of his bill, and in his adj.
dress he employed only so much time as was
necessary to explain its features. He was an
swered by aLiberal supporter of the ministry,
who was also q large ship-owner; and the
character and tendency of the address were
strongly suggestive of a preCOncerted arrange
ment with the ministry to Obstruct the pro-
gress Of the bill. 1t was argued that,
as royal commission was then sit
ting to investigate the subject, it would
not be in accordance with the feeling Of the
House or ordinary respect to legislate without
waiting for the report or giving practical
effect to any conclusion to which the commits
sion might arrive. The proposition was for
dilatOTy action; but the member had another
hope than to procure the rejection Of the bill.
By the rules Of the House, on the day when
the motion was made action upon the bill
could not be taken after O certain specified
time, and the Speaker successfully postponed
the debate indefinitely by talking tho
measure out Of the House, as Mr.. Pimsol
characterized this system of opposition. IL
might not be difficult to demonstrate that the
plan of Mr.. Plimsoll to remove the evil Of
which he complained was the most practicable
that could be adopted Yet such is the in
fuence which the ministry exercises over the
working majority in the House that even the
passive resistance which it knows very
well how to observe when its pur-
poses require, could only DO rendered
Intellectual by strong public sentiment. The
reform which Mr.. Plimsoll is endeayOrng to
introduce against the opposition of some very
powerful corporations and individuals, has
many elements of popularity, and may, for
this reason, be carried into execution before
the lapse of any great length of time, not
withstanding the dscouraging experience with
which he has hitherto met in Parliament and
at the hands of the ministry.

Judge Davis in the first trial of VIM. NJ.
Tweed was very severe in his rulings against
the prisoner. In his strange decision yester-
day pOstponing the trial until October, on the
frivolous excuse of the illness of one of

balanced the account and made Tweed his
debtor.

The Six plots 70 Kill Napoleon.

At least six plots to assassinate the
late Louis Napoleon were made. In
October, 1852, when Napoleon, who was
on the eve of becoming Emperor, was mt
Marseilles, aninfernal machine, formed of
$50 gun barrels charged with 800 balls,
was TO have been discharged against the
Prince and his cortege, but the design
was not carried out. On July ., 1853, a
fresh attempt was made to Nssassinate
him as he was going to the Opera
Comique. Twelve Frenchmen Were ar
rested as concerned in the conspiracy.
On April %, 1855, Jean Liverani fired
two shots mt the Emperor in the grand
avenue of the Champs Elysces. In 1857,
Thibaldi, Bartellotti and Grill came
from England to Paris to assassinate the
Emperor, but We're discovered, arrested,
tried and punished. On January II,
1853, Orsini, Gomez Pieri and Rudia
threw their shells mt the Emperor. On
December -, 1863, Groco, Trabucco,
Imperatore and Scagliant, who had gone
from London with the intention OF kill
ing the French Emperor, were arrested

What "Credit Mohilier" Mems.

The " Fat Contributor in the Satuj'-
duy MINT explains the meaning OF the
term as follows The daily newspapers
are full Of illusions to the "Credit Mo-
bier but people at large plead ignor-
ance as to the meaning of the term. 1t
was the name given Joint stock COM
pauy established i'll France i'll 1852 by
Isaac and Emile Pcreire and their assoc
ciates. 1t took up or originated trading
enterprises and specultions of every de
scription. applying to them the principal
of cORaaGHc CT limited liability, To
greater extent than had been heretofore
practiced, opening the road to Chances
to make fortunate hits that had not been
previously enjoyed without extraordinary
risks.
II was authorized to supersede or buy
in the stock of other companies TO any
extent desired (replacing their shares or
bonds by its own scrip, and also to carry
on the business of banking without
guaranteeing the public in any manner
AGAINST loss. The funds were expected
to be obtained by "A paid-up capital of
SD, 600, 5000, the issue of obligations at
not less than forty-five days date or
sight, and the deposit OF funds by regu
lar customers.
1t was organized with expensive ma
chinery and all the attendant profusion
of vast wealth but was considered by
experienced persons as too near an APP
proach TO Laws bank of 1716 to deserve
public confidence, and therefore did not
succeed. In 1857 several of the direc-
tors failed and in 1868 no dividend was
paid. Several companies based on the
same principles were established in Lon
don in 1868, but did not become popular
with the general public.
In October, 1867, Isaac and Emile
Pereire withdrew from the management
of the Credit Mobilier the company
failed ingloriously, and the capital was
said to have entirely disappeared. Why,
i'll the face OF such fate, our magnates
of the Pacific Railroad and other pro-
iects adopted the name is problem that
would doubtless puzzle them to answer.
1t is not impossible that the fate of their
projects will prove equally disastrous,
however, and the name may be all right
as more surely pointing ont the faithful
ness with which history repeats itself.
