There are two Credit Mobilier Commit
tees. The first is the one Of which Judge
Poland, Of Vermont, is chairman. and
which was appointed at the request of Mr.
Speaker Blaine, to ascertain whether any
members Of Congress were interested in
the Credit Mobilier stock and that fact
has been most effectually established.
The other is the Wilson committee. ap-
pointed to inquire into the circumstances
OF the confiscation, by the directors of the
Credit Mobilier Of the assets of the Union
Pacific Railroad, under cover of construc-
ton contracts, with a view of recovering
portion OF the property so con6scated. bv
SUIT against the directors individually. for
the benefit Of the Union Pacific road and
OF the government 1t has been shown bv
DR. Durant in this behalf that after a
portion Of the road was built. accented and
pad for, at certain rate per mile. this
portion was included in con
tract with the Credit Mobilier at a very
nluch hlgher rate per mile that between
two and three millions of dollars were thus
paid for constructing o3S miles of rod j.
excess OF what was necessary, or of the
actual cost of previous work of q similar
character; that these millions formed the
basis OF the enormous dividends paid to
the stockholders of the Credit Mobilier.
There are also hints that s25O,OOO had
been paid to government commissioner ap-
pointed to inspect the road, preliminary to
is acceptance by the government. and of
this we shall doubtless hear more. The
astounding rascalities of this whole bust

from the fact that last summer when Mr..
Wilson was numbered among those who

before Congress. defy thu whole world TO rp-ove
thar he has a cents interest ia The Northern Pacific

meut is correct hut [ do not wish 10 write any

lie added that he had made but one
speculation since he went into the Senate,
when he bought a house Ii appeared
then that this was intended as an explicit
denial, though some of the language was
vague Ii now seems, by Mr. Wilson
testimony, that the investment in Credit
Mobilier stock which he made was not his
own i. was his wifes. The evasion is in

The present session is without parallel
in Iowa. Three years ago there were be-
tween two hundred thousand and quarter
OF a million dollars in the State Treasury,
and still more to come from the general
government. To-day there is not enough
money in the State Treasury To pay the
expenses of the General Assembly four
days. Before the time for the assembling

money to pay them for their services if
