NOTWITHSTANDING the Worlds
efforts to discredit Vice President
Colfax's story as to the manner in
which he obtained the $4,000 de-
posted in June 1868, additional tes-
timony as to its truth is being de-
veloped. An indianapolis special to
the Cincinnati Gazette, dated the
18th gives the following statement
'T.-P. Hoy, President of the Indi-
annapolis National Bank, an intimate
friend of Vice President Colfax, sent
dispatch to Mr.. Colfax to-day stat
ing that he distinctly remembers the
conversation with him, in the sum
mer of 1868, in which Colfax referred
to the fact that friend in New
York had given him thousand dol
lars to pay his personal expenses in
the campaign, and that he had sent
it to Conner, chairman of the Re
publican State Central Committee to
be used in defraying general expen-
es of the campaign.

TIE growth of the railroad inter
ests Ofthe country is no whore more
manifest than in the increase of the
number Of lines required by a road
to accommodate it's traffic. The
Pennsylvania Central, which already
has double track, is making ar
rangements to lay two additional
ones, and Commodore Vanderbilt is
preparing to do the same thing from
New York to Buffalo. Some years
ago, j. Edgar Thompson, the Presi-
dent of the Pennsylvania Central,
stated in his annual report, that it
was his firm conviction that all
great trunk lines would eventually
be obliged to have four tracks, two
for passenger and two for freight
trafc. With such an arrangement
he thought freight could be trans
ported from the Atlantic to the Mis-
sissippi without changing engine or
cars, making ten miles an hour, and
performing the journey more cheap
~, safely and expeditiously than by
the present mode. 1t is possible
that he may live to see his predic-
ton verified.

The decision of Judge Davis, on
Saturday, allows a writ of error and
stay in the execution of the sentence,
until the decision of the general

Ors to find the prisoners guilty, is
the ground Of Judge Davis decision.

honing region, discouraged by the
frequency of strikes among the min
ers, have introduced colored miners
from Virginia to work in the mines.
As consequence work in the rolling

The latest phase among the strikers
is an effort upon their part to get the
puddlers-not to work with the coal
mined by the colored laborers.

AT a meeting of the State Central
Committee, on Wednesday of last
week, it was decided to hold the
State Convention on the 2lst of MAY.
In regard to the Credit Mobilier
business, the committee took the
only rational course which could be
adopted, agreeing that whoever is
proven guilty, must suffer the conse-
guences and be dropped from the
leadership, while the party moved
forward. 1t would be folly TO at
tempt to sustain anyone who had
proven recreant to the trust reposed
in him.

ury; and that she, in fear of loosing
her place, yielded to his proposals

that night, but says his room mate
was young man whose name he
has forgotten. When public men
begin to go down, how low they fall.
POmeroy will retire from public life
with a reputation blasted beyond
conception. Those who escape the

should cling closely to the bubble
they have saved, and never place it

discrimination to follow in the wake
of Henry Ward Beecher, and lecture
in every city where he lectures, the
following evening. Her theme will
be the scandalous story which she
set aaoat in regard to him, and
which occssioned her arrest and the
temporary suppression Of the Z" Wood

looks as if she meant to follow him
until she is bribed to silence, until
she forces conclusions as to the
truth Of the charges she has made.
Should she follow out her present
programme, it viii be hardly pos
sible for the Reverend lecturer to
avoid alluding to her mission, un-
less she is silenced, and that would
carry suspicion with it.
