The WILSON Credit Mobilier Com
mittee," which has been engaged in ex
amining the affairs OF the Union Pacific
Railroad Company, submitted It's re-
port to Congress last Thursday even
Jog. The Committee find that the cost
o, the road was, in round numbers,
hity million dollars, which was who'll
~ reimb ursed from the proceeds OF the
government Bonds and first mortgage
houds and from the stock. the income
bonds and land grant bonds, the build
,rs of the road (Which was the Credit
Mobilier Company received in cash
value at least twenty-three millions OF
iyllars as profit, being percentage OF
about forty-six per cent on the en-
tire cost OF the road. The Com
mittee present and recommend the
p.sssge of an act directing the Attorney
General to institute suits in the name OF
,ne United States, against the holders
OF stock 10 the Union Pacific Railroad
Eampauy, which has not been paid Tor
~ full in money, to compel the restora-
t!on of the sums wrongtully received IN
,he shape OF dividends. The so-cslled
"nvidends" which made the Credit Mo-
hlier stock so valuable. were not paid
oft of legitimate earnings, but were taxi
tn from the capital furnished by the
United States for the construction OF
me road. 1t is now proposed to COM
tel the restoration OF these funds.
1t appears therefore that, in addition
- the disgrace which has fallen upon
ne Congressional dabblers in Credit
Alobilier stock, they are to be further
Aarrassed by demands for the repay
ment of their i'll gotten gains. For in
stance, some generous NEsbIrr must FUR
uish Mr.. CoLFAx another 81, 600 in
order that AMEs' $1,000 check may be
landed over to the United States
treasury where it justly belongs. The
rttort to compel restitution will proba-
,ly create as great a tlutter among the
parties implicated as has been occa-
.ioued by their exposure, but it is by no
means certain that the bill for the pur-
pose will be permitted to pass.

THE ROsS LETTER.

All who have paid any attention to
the accusations that have at various
lines been brought against the lair
anne OF Senator PoNERoY, (sometimes
.tyled "the Christian Statesman and
-ometimes "subsidy Pom, will remem.
ber that illusions were made TO mys-
,erious document called ''the Ross LETT
,er." Before the Senate investigating
committee few days ago the original
of this famous letter was produced. 1t
was written in 1862 by PoMKRoY, then
,s now, a member of the United States
Senate, and is said to be in the Senators
own hand writing. Is it any wonder
that CALDWELL, OF Kansss was willing
to pay 100000 to purchase election to
the Senate where such magnificent
schemes of money. making could be en-
giueered? The following is the letter ::

OF lengthy but interesting and instruc-
tive article upon Lille Insurance. There
is lack Of popular Information upon
the principles that govern the insurance
of lives, and the article alluded to will
repay a careful perusal. The several
[ Es Insurance companies in the coun-
try are the guardians of many millions
OF dollars which are held in trust Tor
the dependent, and there cannot be too
much caution exercised by insurers, nor
too close scrutiny instituted concern
ing the disposition of these funds aud
the use that is made of them by the
companies. Their responsibilities are
great and their conduct should be
watched with the utmost care.
