- We have received the first number OF
The Working Man, the publication of which
has Just been commenced at Columbia by
Rev. Tilman R. Gaines as editor and proprie-
tor, assisted by Edward w. Screven, late of
Georgia. The design of the paper is neither
sectarian nor political but, as the editors an
nounce it "desires to enter every home in our
broad country, bearing messages of JOY and
encouragement to the laboring people, earth's
least honored, but most honorable class"
1t is a tastefully arranged sheet Of eight

best wishes for its success. Price 81 per

The National Scandal.
- Such is the designation by which the
Credit Mobilieris known throughout the coun-
try. The investigation develops great deal
of corruption, and shows that sedate Con-
gressmen are as susceptible to the alurements
of gold as our own unsophisticated legislators
nearer home. The bribery in the Credit Mo-
bilier is not we regret to learn, confined to the
Republican party. Others are mixed up
with it, and among them Brooks Of New
York, who stands conzicted of having been
interested in the concern. Many other Dem
ocrats are known to be connected with the
swindling operation but it is said that all
the attack is now concentrated on Brooks,
who is being made the scape-goat for his fel-
low.sinners.
The numerous gains Of the speculation in
the shares of the Credit Mobilier stock may
be understood by fact which was brought
out in the testimony of Tuesday before the
Committee of Investigation. A. M. Nelson
invested $4,000, and inside of q year he
