What Credit Uobiller Means.

In car last issue we gave Cur readers some
insight into this giant swinde, the inyestiga-
ton Of whose frauds daily damns the Radical
party, wiFh increased infamy, and should hurl
it from poaer. ba: It's origin we since learn is
as follows:
The Introduction Of the terms Credit
Foncier" and Credit Mobilier" i1to America
are due to Mr. Francis Train. He established
Credit Fonc.er' with Omaha lands, which
he haWked about the country some years ago.
lie gave the name Of Credit Mcbiler OF
America to corporation, with universal priVi-

By which tho managers Of the Union Pacific

LOCO per cent on al entirely fictitious capital.
This is what Credit Mobilier'' means in the

Thrifty LEGISLATORS.

A gentleman, from one Of the eastern coun.
ties,informs Us that the Radicals ia 1869 sent a
corn-feld hand, without dollar in bis picket,
to represent them in the Legislature
This gay and festive youth returned home
after his arduoul labors at the Capitol and i'm
mediately purchased farm, for which he paid
So 900 cash; stocked it finely and is now en-
joying his prosperity gayly- respected and ven
Grated by his race.
This industrious and enterprising young
man was solicited By his grateful party to &C.
cept the nomination for the present term, but
declined with dignity, saying there would be
90 smportant bills before the present House."
Alas if our ''foresights were as good as our
hindsights, his worthy youth would have
known that ''important" Railroad bills would,
this Winter, shake the Capitol from turret to

An Appeal for che Unfortunate.

The Superintendents of Eastern aud Western
Lunatic Asylums report l79 applications fol-
admission rejected, fol want of room, and pub
blish heart reading letters from the friends Of
the poor creatures, now languisLiug 10 jails and
poor houses. The Legislature can atone fol
much good left undone, by at once making an
appropriation to enlarge the Eastern Asylum
and for buying suitable farm and erecting
buildings, 10 the country, for the Inebiiates
Home, already chartered, which would care
for oDe-half of the insane. undoubtedly caused
by Alcohol, Opium and other poisops.
It would not cost over S2O,0 600 to buy such a
farm and put up suitable buildings, for the lat
ter much needed institution, and it would soon
become, as in other States, selfsustaining, from
the labor Of class now curse and a cost to
the community-a class Of alcoholicly insane
the most pitiable, helpless and God forsaken on
Garth, and who deserve chance to live and re-
form, 10 matter if they are cursed with dis
ease. horrible in its nature, but now rendered
durable, by science and proper treatment.
Are there no men in the Legislature Where
is the gallant Robertson, of Allegheny; the
knighty Taylor, of Norfolk; the charitable
Lghtner, Of Augusta f; the chivalric Walker, OF
Pulaski and others, who never resisted an ap-
peal Of true charity or feared to raise their
voices for the right? Why waste time, gen.
tlemen, in discussions over Railroad ''guages,' ~
while the youth and best loved OF the State,
are going down the broadest ''guage" the Devil
ever opened to his dominions by thousands,
and no hand is stretched forth to succor the
helpless, and say be men again?
Gentlemen, in the name Of humanity, and at
the same time to relieve the pressure on the
present Insane Asylums, we appeal to you, and
the people cry to you, to save these unfortun.
ates from the jails, the poor houses and the
grave-yards. Are you still the men you proved
yourselves, in the past and will you act now,
as then, boldly and disinterestcdly? A mighty
responsibility rests upon you and you can not
shake it off, and We pray God you may not try,
but meet it as true men as lovers Of your peo-
pie, and the ''poor ye have always with you,
for the fate not only Of the living, but OF thou
