CRIMINALS.

The promptness and certainty with

for much OF the laxity and uncertainty
Of other regimes, and has gone far to re-
lieye US Of the presence Of many burg
lays and gauoters who otherwise might
have troubled US, but who preferred to
renaiu away in view OF the punishment,
swift an,5 sure, they knew awaited per-
sons OF their class here. Occasionally

use the slang of police courts, but find

where Vigilance sleeps. Yesterday three
of the most desperate burglars were az
rested by the police, and upon searching
their trunks were found possessed, not
only Of the ordinary tools with which
they operate, but with weapons of the
most deadly character, all in prepara-
ton for theft or murder, or both as
opportunity might offer. The ruffians
are now in custody, and upon the plea
that they have vet committed no crime
here may escape. We hope not. We
trust the State as well as the city au-

and, if there is any way Of furnishing
them, DO 50 quickly and up TO the last

of the arrest OF such characters We al

miJtee in existence to deal with them
after the manner Of Judge Lynch, not
withstanding we are opposed TO all
forms Of lawlessness.

sis Of which We published the day af-
ter its delivery to the Legislature. He
pledges himself that his official conduct
shall be prompted by a solemn,
unyielding conviction Of duty in
the execution Of the law, and
that he will not recognize political or
sectarian distinctions. He invokes a
spirit Of harmony, urges that all bitter
ness resulting from the late contest shall

THE U. p. R. R. INvEsrreATIoN.

The Wilson Credit Mobilier Investi.
CATION Committee met this morning
The examination of Mr.. T. G.. Durant
was resumed. He said the Boomer con.
tract was twenty-seven thousand five
hundred dollars per mile of the rail
road. The Union Pacific Board of Di-
rectOrs passed a resolution extending 10
Mr.. Hoxie contract over the fifty-
eight miles at fifty thousand dollars a
mile. This resolution was not carried
into effect, witness having protested
and Judge Barnard having granted an
injunction. The Board afterward ex-
plunged his protest from the books and
rescinded the resolution. If the reso-
luton had been carried into effect the
difference between twenty-seven thou
sand five hundred dollars and fifty thou
sand dollars would have gone into the
Credit Mobilier. These fifty-eieht miles
had been completed and were in run
ming order, and had been accepted by
the Government.
The witness was examined as to Will
liams's proposed contract, which was ac-
cepted by the Board of Directors of the
Union Pacific Company, in March 1867.
for building two hundred and sixty-
seven miles of the railroad. Witness
also sued out an injunction in this case,
as the contract covered a part of the
road already constructed under a pre-
vious contract. After the witness had
been examined specifically, be was ex-
amined generally. He was asked by
the Chairman what per centage of the
Union Pacific railroad stock did the
Credit Mobiller stockholders own when
Oakee Ames' contract was entered into.
Witness answered, seventy-five, perhaps
eighty-nve per cent Having been asked
why the Credit Mohiller itself could not
build the road instead of assigning the
contracts to trustees for that purpose,
