CREDIT MoBILIER.

Nothing has attracted so much atten-
ton at the National Capital for a few
weeks past as the Credit ATobilier investi-
cation. Prominent gentlemen, occupying
high and responsible positions, have been
charged with completely in the Credit Mo-
bilier transaction, and many of them seem
to he guilty. \ great many people have
not taken the time or the trouble to inves-
tigato what the real offense is 1t consists
in Members of Congress taking stock in
an enterprise, the value of which was to be
largely affected by Congressional enact
ments. Most of them, it appears, bought
the stock without paying any cash for it.
In a short time the dividends were sufli-
cient to pay off their entire subscription
and leave Il handsome balance besides.
Some of those concerned, seem to have for
stock, the whole matter havidg passed
from their minds until dividend was pre-
sented sufficient to pay the original SUBJ
scripton and something besides Some of
the members, among them Senator Lo-
gan, state that after consideration, they
returned the money paid as n dividend
on the stock, and never afterwards
considered themselves stockholders. The
alleged facts in the case all appear from
the testimony of Oakes Ames, of NIassa-
chusetts, who claims to have negotiated
with members of Congress for the sale of
the Mobilier stock in which he was large
ly interested.
The offense in the matter, as before
stated, lies in members of Congress be-
coming pecunarily interested in an enter
prise the value of which was largely in
fiuenced by their votes. One of the most
marked elements in human nature is self
ishness. When IA man has it in his power
to benefit himself by his own act, the
temptation to do it is very strong, not
withstanding he may be a public servant,
sworn to act for the general good. II is
considered III very bad taste to say the
least of it, for a Congressman or Legislator
to vote on measure in the success of
which he is pecuniarily interested, and
which benefits no one but himself and
those associated with him for purposes of
speculation.
The country will look with interest for
the report of Judge Poland's committee,
and, until it is received judgment will be
suspended. The high character Of the ac-
cused, embracing gentlemen of both polit-
ical parties, protects them from unquali-
fled condemnation on &c pdrtC testimony.
The country expects, and we believe the
committee is making, a full, fair and thor
ough investigation of the charges, When
these facts are known, no matter whom
they affect, their full weight will be felt.

ABOUT THE TORBETT ISSUE.
MUST tennessee pay the War Debt

MUST Tennessee PAY the War Debt?
Chancellor Fleming delivered an elabo-
rate opinion in the Chancery Court at
Nashville, on Saturday, affecting the va
lidity of the "new issue " of the Bank of
Tennessee. He holds that the issues are
valid and binding upon the State, sums
ming up his conclusions as follows:
l. That the defendants in this form of
action and attitude of parties can have
status before the court and litigate their
rights.
,. That as matter of fact, established
by the proof, the notes in controversy
known as new ISSUE were not issued in
aid of the (so-called) rebellion, and are
therefore valid securities.
3. Even admitting that some of the
new issuep notes may have been origi-
nally issued and paid out for an illegal pur-
pose: This is not enough-but it must ap-
pear that the particular note or notes i'm cou-
troYersy were so issued and paid out in
order to fix upon them the ban for faint of
illegality.
4. But whatever may have been the
knowledge or motive of the bank at the
time of their issuance, the notes them.
selves, becoming circulating medium as
money, could be no more tainted with lille
galitY in the hand of subsequent holders
than the old issue or any other funds now
in circulation but which may have been
at one time paid to the Military Board.
). That under the facts of the case, as
fully shown by the proof, the claim of those
defendants does not fall within, nor is OBJ
noXious to the provisions of section 4,
Amendment NV, Constitution United
States.
g. That under the view we have taken of
the facts presented in the record, section &
of the schedule to the amended Constitu-
ton of 1865, together with all subsequent
acts of the Legislature, is unconstitutional
and void, as 'impairing the obligation of
| contracts and violative of article l, sec.
ton 10, of the Constitution of the United
| States.
| :. That the rights of these holders are not
affected or impaired either by the fact that
| they became such owners subsequent to the
assignment, or by the fact that they pur-
| chased at q discount
| s. That the statue Of limitations cannot
operate to bar the claims of defendants
8. That the action of the political depart
ments of this State and the General Goy>
| ernment does not oust the Judicial tribu-
nails of jurisdiction, and does not and can
not annul or impair vested rights in these
| defendants.
| 10. That the trustee or assignee is bound
| to receive these notes in payment of the
! claims of the bank, and that for this DUr-
| pose they may he set-oir against any such
| claims or demands.
IL. That defendants are entitled to the
! full face value of the notes held by them
! and to priority of satisfaction over the qcn-
erdL creditors of the bank and to share pro
rt,ta with all bill-holders, whether of the
| old or new issue"

CRIMINALS IN OUR COURTS.

The conviction, sentence and imprison-
ment of Boyd for frauds upon the govern
ment must have wholesome influence
upon the people of East Tennessee. That
influence will be all the greater because of
his former social position, wealth and in
huence. The punishment of such man
is always attended with more beneficial
effects than those attending the conviction
and punishment of an ignorant and poor
criminal. Judge EmmOns, in the fear
less, vigorous, and yet impartial manner
with which he conducted the trial deserves
The thanks o: all good citizens. We need
bin the administration of justice in Tennes-
see more zeal and force on the part of the
Judiciary. Our courts would be more
feared by criminals and more
respected by law-abiding citizens if our
Judges made their power and influence
felt more than they have done. That is a
foolish sentiment on the part of a Judge,
that permits him to see a notorious and
impudent criminal escape justice because
of false idea that it is his duty to sit calm
ly by and see his officers and jurors out
witted by cunning, shrewd and unscrupu-
lous friends of the accused. While the
law presumes every man innocent until
proved guilty it is nevertheless not the
duty of Judge to act upon this maxim so
far as to see his court trifled with and gull
ty men escape 10y cunning and fraud.
Judge Emmons has by his vigor and
ability in the Boyd case given an example,
which, if followed by State and Federal
judges in this and adjoining States, will
be productive of great good.
The press can do much good by giving
fair but fearless publicity to criminal trials
and the exposure and punishment Of gull
ty sc0,rndrels. ..#.H
The CHRoNICLE has from the beginning
of the Boyd case given the facts TO the
public, not from any desire To persecute
him or his friends, but solely for the pur-
pose of exposing his crimes and OF ere
ating u healthful public sentiment against
crimes of all grades and kinds.

The Quarrel Between Russia and England

A despatch from London says that ru-
mors were current in that city this morn
ing that the existing differences between
Russia and Great Britain in respect to the
warlike operations of the Russian army in
Turkestan are becoming wider and less
easy of adjustment. 1t adds that the GOV
ernment of France, Austria, Turkey, Den
mark and Sweden have determined to sup
port the British government in this quarrel,
a statement which, to say the least, needs
confirmation.
The position taken by Great Britain rem
ders it very likely that extended negotia-
tions will be required to settle the trouble
The Russian advance against I<hiva has eX-
cited the dormant jealousy entertained by
evey Englishman towards that govern
ment. The British government has there
fore announced officially at st. Peters
burgh that they will not suffer the integri-
ty of Afghanistan to be molested. An en-
voy from Russia is now in London for the
purpose of restoring friendly relations; and
that there should he signs of war during
the progress of his negotiations is not un-
natural. -EUc'ajag Post, Nc1O YOrk.
