name, if it would restore tho public confidence
which has been sadly weakened by tho astound-
ing revelations Of the past few veoks. It the
leaders OF the party, the men whom the country
has accredited with I'll the virtues Of
private morality and the proprieties and
dignitios Of public statesmansbip and patriotic
devotion, hare been soiling their hands with

OF for investigation. aiaery loves company /;
and if there are any other congressman, par
ticu1arly Senators, who know the color Of Credit
Mobi1ior stock, they will at least have the con-
ISOLATION Of knowing that they are not alone.
There is q goodly company OF them, and
the community Of interest and OF ro-
gret will enable them to bear their
burdens with more equanimity, and will
lessen the general average each has to as-
sumo. There is nothing which stands in the
way Of such an investigation. No general cleo
tions are pending which might be affected by it.
There are no special questions Of pressing in
terest ahlch cannot wait for an Investigation Of
this character. Best Of all, h1r. Oskes Anes
was never go eager to tell what ho knows. Ills
memory has all como back to him under the
pressure Of circumstances. In fact, he is thor
oueh1y unse1fBh Ut the present time, and de-
voted, heart, soul, and body, to unrayelling this
Credit Mobilier complication. a man who has
been offered his life, even With the ropo
around his neck, if he Mill confess,
could not be mora enthusiastic in se-
curing his salvation than is Olkes Amea.
As Congressional stock goes down, Oakes
Ames stock goas up. He has walked with his
eyes open, right straight into trap, and there
is only one may out OF it. It ho didn't use this
stock for corrupt purposes, what did he do with
it? Did it go into his own pockets? Under the
goad OF this Interrogation, Oakes Ames is will
ing to stand and be pumped until doomsday.
There is no evidence yet that he iB pumped dry.
His Own hints and suggestions hare already been
sufficient to show that the Senate, as well as tho
House, may use the pump NTH excellent effect.
Now Let it be dono and that thoroughly. There
will never be q better time than now. and the
public temper is just at that point where it will
not be satisfied until clean job is made Of
Credit Mobilier corruptions.

Russia may have made mistake In pushing
her expeditions with such easy disregard Of
English feeling into the heart of Asia Eng
lands pacific couree OF late years on the Con-
tinent has been in marked contrast to her
bellicose temper in former tinies. But there
could be no greater error than to asc1ibe this
peaceful mood to cowardice or weakness.
England Is stronger to-day than ever,
and she has ceased to fight because
she hzs learned, by the bitter experience
of exhaustive expenditure and heavy public
debts, that such mars as she used to wage to
conquer markets and hold colonies cost moro
than these were worth. But in India she has
an immense pecuni.ry stake, and is plainly
enough ready to fight for it. In the language
OF London correspondent, the moment the
Russian advance threatens English supremacy
IN India, they will start an army for Afghanistan
and fleet to Cronstadt and set half the world
in blaze sooner than yield an inch on the
banks Of the Oxus.

All IONA is aStated over the passage OF I bill
by Congress to "Quiet land titles In Iowa."
The history Of the bill, as given by our Wash-
ington correspondent is terribly suggestive Of
the way legislation is conducted at present. In
1856, Congress granted lands to Iowa in aid Of
railroads. One Of these roads is that now known
As the Chicago Rock Island 4 Pacific Railroad,
extending from Davenport to Council Bluffs
In 1864, Congress was induced to change tho
law, and gave the land direct to the road, with
authority to change it's route. This Com
pany WAS, however, required to take the land
along whateverrouto it should edopt, and seek
tho deficiency in lands elsewhere within twenty
miles Of ita line. In changing their route, they
left 100000 acres, to which they had been en-
titled, more than twenty miles distant from their
new line. These lands are now worth $40
to s2O an acre. These lands we're applied for
by homestead settlers, the railroads objecting.
In 1871, the Commissioner Of the Land Office
decided that he had no authority in
the matter. The Secretary Of the Interior, 1t =
later day, decided they were not subject to
homestead entry, but expressed no opinion aa
to tie claim OF the Railroad Company to the
1and- The land having originally been with
drawn from entry in 1856, to enable the Railroad
Company to make it's selections, had never, al
though the Company had changed its ROUTE
thereby placing this landbeyondits c1aim,-been
restored to it's place on the books OF the Depart
ment Is subject to private entry. Now the Chi
cngo, Rock Island l. Pacific Railroad Company
have obtained the passage, through both Houses
Of Congress, under the plea Of quoting land titles
in Iowa, q bill permitting them to take these
lands, which aro now worth over million Of
dollars. In Iowa there is intense excitement,
and = strong appeal has been msdo to tho Presi-
dent to veto the bill.

The main question OF interest which now IT
tacles to the Credit Mobilier investigation Is,
What will the Senate do7 Will it allow the
House to bear tho brunt Of oakes Ames' dsmag-
ing confessions, or Will it also demand that the
broom which Ames is using 30 skilfully shall
sweep out both Houses Of Congress? Tho pres-
ent Investigation has already discovered crumbs

tors, snd tue pEssi11i1e officer OF that body, DR..

checks to nid his election. Patterson is hope

tion, and "a all great Keptune's ocean "

fessed that be purchased the Bteek and made a
part payment With the accrued dividends then
due, satisfying the balance with his check for

a sufficient basis for Senatorial Investigation
The Credit MobiGer scandal has now g94e 30
far, md it's developments have been 80 extraor-
dina1y and fsr-re.ching, that the country will
not be satisfied until broad Inns Of distinction
is drawn between the corrupt end the ipcorrupt

man in Washington must now prove himself be-
yond suspicion, or he will suffer in the estimation
Of the people, aud the only wayin which they can

THE RUSSIAN CAMPAIGN

The Russians, notwithstanding the energetic
protest Of England against the invasion Of AZ
ghanistan, on their expedition to KhiTa, havo
struck the first blow Of the campaign by the
capture Of Fort Hissar, in the suburbs Of Cabul,
the residence Of the Chief OF Governor Of
Cabul, Hho was taken prisoner and sent to
Russia. As Cabu1 is the capital Of Northern
Afehanistan, and has IN immense trade with
Hindostan, the Russians hare thus seriously
menaced England st once, and hare also
placed themselves in position which
must speedily reduce the whole Of Afgha~
n1stan to Russian provice, and seriously
threaten Turkestan also. The City OF Cabul has
very interesting history, and has often been
tho scene Of bloody conflicts. It is = fortified
city On the Cabu1 River, and Fort Hisaar or Bala
Hissar Cpalaee Of the Kings) is situated at the
Eastern end. This citadel comprises the rosi~
dence Of the Governor, various Government
Offices royal gardens, and inner fort and
small town OF 5000 inhabitants. Cabul itself is
divided into districts, enclosed with walls, each
of which can be isolated from the other, so as
to form separate fortress, like Bala Hissar.
It's total population ls about 10000. It
carries On an extensive trade, import
ing the precious metals, firearms,
paper, ten, cotton goods, brosdc1oth,
yelvets, iron wares, &C., from tho Russian do
minions and China, and exporting them to Hin
do6tan. It has also > large market for corn and
cattle and is noted for its great variety Of frite
to which Moore alludes in his Italia Rookh y:
-"pomegranates full
OF melting sweetness, and the pears
And sunnIest spplea that Caubul
On ali it's thousand gardens beara."
The Chiefahip OF Cabul extends to the Hindoo
Roosh, whe1e England's East Indian rule COM
mences. The ohiof who ssospeeai]y fallen into
Russian hsnds is poat h1ohs1ined, vhose army
amounted to $500 infantry knd from L, 600 to
1900 horse. Tho var record OF eabnl is ex-
tremely interesting It was taken By sebuc~
tazhi in 977, by Tamerlane at the
ea1 Of the fourteenth century, and in 1888 BY
N.dir Shah. In 1842, 1t mas tho acene Of the
mass.orp Of $500 British soldiers, and $4,000
camp-followers, by the treacheEons Chiefs. In the
s.me :ess it vas retaken By tho British ,. under
Sir R. Sale, who, after burning tbs bazaars and
public buildings, relinqutshed it. Among 1he
bazaars destroyed On thAt occasion WAS one con-
ssEucted BY Ali Murdan Khan, which waa said
to have been the hsndsomest structure in the
East.
The capture Of Cabul, or It's virtual capture,
which must result from the capture OF Fort
Hissar, is direct blow at England in her most
vital spot, as it Affects her commercial in
