century, and has furnished materials for profit
able manufacture and an attendant trado to
Buffalo, Cleveland, and Detroit This business,
which has the prospect Of a vast extension in tho

The result Of tho Credit Mobilicr investigation
was disclosed, yesterday, in the statement Of G..
H. Bushnell, one Of the officers Of the Company,
that its stock had been refused aa collateral by
prominent bank, which Thought it tainted With
fraud and corruption. There was laughter,
which will uet ring pleasantly in tho public ear,
when be stated that Oakos Ames insisted on the
fulflment Of contracts with congressman, bo-
cause il - they went hack on congressman
after stoc1r had gone up, when it had been
promised them when it was down, Congressman
would so back on them"

scheme. It warns them that their countries
would be overrun With immigrants, that their
products would become staples for European
commerce, and that, eventually, the Enro-
pean nationa1ities wou1d swallow up their
power, their government, and their
territory. La Sociedad is evidently in fea- that
tho peculiar and cheerful customs OF South
American government might bo sacrificed. We
had C. sample Of these favorite South American
pursuits; week or two ago. in the murder OF thef
President, or Dictator, Of Ecuador, or ono OF the
other "RepublicB," who had succeeded the Die
tutor he had murdered, and who will probably be
succeeded by the man who murdered him. Caro-
full students Of tho history OF tho South Amer
:can Republics have failed to find any ruler
within several generations who has died natu-
~ral DEATH unless he died in prison. :E1en in
The latter cese post-naortenl Examination would
probably have discovered traces OF poison.
There ia lurking suspicion that the Darien
Canal would bring about gone invasion of the
traditional and sacred rights OF South American
Republics to revolution and bloodshcd. Tho
elements of civilization as it is understood else
where. arc regarded with foroboding. Commerce
might possibly prepare the wny for tho develop
1ncnt Of these countries and for peaceful pros
perity,-a condition OF things which cannot he
plac;dly contemplated from the standpoint ct
South American Republicans. r..

Some time in Octobor last, there waa ISSUED
from tho Treasury some 81, 600, 600 Of Treasury
notes in excess Of the amount which had beou
supposed to bo the limit authorized by law,
which is 1856, 900. This action has attracted
much attention. The authority Of the Secre-
tary to make this issue hns been questioned,
and, We believe, = measure has been proposed
declaring it to be legal and authorizing it in the
future. At an carly day in the session, the
Senate directed m inquiry rs to the power Of the
Secretary, a majority OF the Finance Commit
toe, consisting OF Messra. Sherman, Of Ohio,
Morrill,, of Vermont, Scott. OF peunsylvania,
Amea, of Mississippi and Bayard, OF Delaware,
hare reported Tint Q careful review Of MI. the
acts of Congress leaves no doubt Of tho estab-
lishment Of s353, ,ooo,o 600 al tho maximum Of
logal-tender notes to DO outstanding, The only
contingency for which an excoss was provided
vas to meet q temporary loan, and that loan WAS
subsequently funded. The Committee state that
tho circumstances under which tho additional
issue was made would hare clearly justified the
officer, II he had had any legal authority to make
it, and they admit that the Secretary considered
that ho had such legal authority. But as
the Inv did not permit the act, the Com
mittee declare tho precedent bad one.
The Committee think that an exercise OF
such authority should not rest upon an in:
ference, or subtle reasoning, or the pressure
Of Interested parties, or be controlled by chang
ing views Of public policy. They assert what is
nnquestionably the proper rule, that, in all ques-
tionB OF construction rs to tho extent OF power
conferred by Law in matters affecting the public
credit, a reasonable doubt as to the grant OF
power should bs held to exclude it. They there
fore report that the secresary had no authority
to Issue greenbacks in e1cess Of the 1856 900 00J
Mcssrs. Ferry, Of Michigan, and Wright, Of
Iowa, from the Same Committee, reported that,
in their Judgment, the action Of the Secretary
was legal .,: = =:
It will be gratifying to the country 10 know
that there is disposition in Congress to conAne
the administration OF the Treasury Department
to the powers granted BY law. Tho Syndicate
operation OF eighteen months ago -was go clear
" illegal thai it was calculated to give the im-
preston that the Will Of the Secretary OF the
Treasury was superior to all law, and that hs
had uncontrolled discretion IN all matters affect
ing the public credit: Such an impression could
not fail to be injurious to the national credit;
as substituting for the written 1aw the 'uncer-
lain opinions OF single officer Of the Goyern-
mant. This matter Eil probably be Fa1zn]y
discussed in the Senate.
, 1873-01-16

= Tho way opinions are formed upon the sub
ject of official actions Wns shown by the answers
made by Levi P. Morton, & banker in Now York,
who appeared before the Committee Of Ways
and Means to advocate another Syndicate. Dir.
Dawes asked him il ho Ind been partner in
the previous Syndicate, aud ho said ho had not
boen ho WAS then asked whether he expected
to be partner in tho next Syndicate, and he
said he certainly would If one was authorized.
11r. Levi r Morton thinks that the first Synti-
cate WAS grand thing for tho country; SO
grand that he proposes TO help the country
through the second one.

Tho latest land job in the interest of specu1a-
tors has just. passed tho Senate. It is bill
granting to oRch State and Territory 500, 600
acres Of 1and to endow ali Agricultural and In
dustrinl A1ts College,. The bill authorizes the
issue Of land scrip to each State for that amount
Of land, thus throwing into the market land
scrip to tho amount Of 10000, 900 Of acres, al1 Of
which scrip will be hawked about the country,
tors. It Is substantially an net to sell lands to
speculators at from 40 to 60 cents per acre. dr.
Morrill,, Of Vermont, was the author Of the bin,
and it Was voted for solidly by the New England
Senators and by Senators from the other At
lantic Sta tes. 49,.

The feta OF an ordinary member Of Congress-
after tue usunl appliances OF the Civil Service
hare failed to re-clcct him, is to settle down a!
Washington and lccomo MI agent for claims
ngeinst tho Government. As an ex-mcmber, he
Las the privilege Of tho floor Of each House. OF
Congress While in session, and his acquaintance
will, members gives him al advantage over
other agents. Among tho members Of the pres
ent Congress who s;1 retire in March Is Senator
Sawyer, of South Carolina, who has been
Senator since 1868. This gentleman, q few
days ago, introduced bill extending the iuris-
diction OF the Commission to examine claims fo1
losses in the Southern States during the war
to include those OF Ill citizens Of foreign Gov
ernments who resided in tho Robel Statos.~ This
class Of claims includes dcmands for the use
OF buildings, stores, supplies, &C. The
claims OF Britioh citizens have boon
provided for to some extent under the
Treaty Of Washington, and wo believe that the
Claims Of alleged British subjects filed before
the Commission reached from twenty to thirty
millions Of dollars. Congress has already es-
taDlished q Southern Claims Commission to hear
cases not allowed to bo presented to tho Court
Of Claims, and this Commission is to be allowed
by this hill to hunt Up testimony in every vii
lage Of tho country. The tendency Of ell these
measures is to precipitate the Government into
recognition and eventual payment not
only Of the personal losses Of every man North
and South who can rna1ufacturo testimony as to
his 1oyalty, bnt of all the losses sustained by
States, municipalities, and individuals, whether
t1olosscs were sustained as results Of the con-
duet of Federal or. Confederate troops. The
fact is, this claim business, beginning with that
for tho return of tho tax on cotton, is as
Stunning such proportions as to threatan a1
legislative regard for duty and honesty, The
cotton claim alone is for SO 900, 900 there is q
steamboat claim for several other millions, and
these things, encouraged and fostered by specu1
lative agents and lobbyists, are increasing, until
they in time will build up debt for, claims
alone as great as that OF the National debt. :, :
Ono great incentive to this claim business il
the collection Of q hundred millions OF surplus
revenue annually. Claims are not worth much
when there is no money to pay them, nor when
members will have to vote special tax therefor.
II this surplus revenue was avoided by,the
proper reduction Of ta1es, the country would
have at least such protection against these
claims as would be afforded by the fact Of an
empty Treasury. The policy Of Congress- at
present tends to payment Of all private losses
during the war, without reference Is to which
sido the losses aro properly clargeable..

News from Japan shows no pause in the
changes which the liberal policy Of that Empire
has begun. The Japanese Government has in
formed its male subjects that thoy nro no
longer to be forced to shave their heads, but
not to unsettlo society too rapidly, top-knots are
still insisted on. Actors and wrostlers are uott-
fed that they may continue their business three
years longer, but must then betake themselves
to some mora worthy calling. The application
Of native capitalists to DO permitted to engage
in sailroad buildin: has boen granted, and the
reforms in police management and the admins
tration Of Justice are vigorously pushed.

The Spencer 'sche Zeitung, a Berlin Liberal jour
nal, reported to be on confidential torns With
the Government, has recently published q very
sharp article rejecting upon the American press
foz its structures on the policy Of tho German
Government with reference to emigration. It
claims that the action OF the State and private
railroads in Germany, in raising the rates hIth-
erto accorded to emigrantH, is purely question
Of domestic administration, placing all passen-
gora upon common footing and releasing COM
paniea from Improbable arrangements. It sug-
gests to American papers that, i1stead
Of dealing in injustice towErd.:: Ger
many, they should work hand in hand
with the German press to- secure the
adoption Of q treaty for the protection OF the
emigrants, and accuses the Government Of the
United States OF being responsible for the fail
ure of the negotiations commenced some yeara
ago for, the protection Of emigants. As this
accusation comeH from apsper which ia, to
certain extent, the. mouthpiece OF tho German
Court, it deserves attention, although it is diff
cult to zee wherein any such combination would
relieve the German Government from the charge
Of endeayozins to ch eek emigration, that it's mil
ita1y purposes may he carried ont.
