u u
der which we labor. The bill Of the H.
terri a.ional Steamship company, unani-
mously reported from the senate naval
committee, goes TO the very foundation Of
tho trouble 1t proposes tie erection Of
AT iron ship-building yard, with docks,
blast and refining furnaces, rolling, mills
and work shops by which ores can be
| converted into superior iron, so that every
thing that enters into the construction Of
iron or wooden vessels or iron-clats--
hulls, engines, spsrs, rigging, etc. etc, can
be made on tho spot so cheap tina. we can
successfully compete with the ship-build-
ers of foreign countries. Tho plan is a
simple business arrangement, requiring no
subsidy in either money or lands, only the
countenance an i assistance Of the govern.
mcnt This measure is not partisan lav-
ing In view tho revival Of oar commerce,
and the benefit of all--fsrmers, planters,
merchants and mechanics, without cost to
the government. BY this means, not only
Will American. built ships again carry our
.rade, but navy will be at the command
| Of the government, if needed.
CREDIT MoBILIER Personal.
The Credit Mobilier lame ducks bear up
Under the Disgrace which their cupidiiy
has wrought, but indifferently we'll. The
worst Of the lot, the moral and
ririuous Cofax is very much broken down
physically as well as eputationally, being
considered ruined in both respects. Sen-
ator Patterson, another moral, now says
that Ames made mistake, and invested
his (pa,torsons) money in tho wrong kind
Of stock. He, AS well as Colfax, has to
,xp.ain everything satisfactorily.
really hope they will, for their fall from
grace is great shock 10 the moral sense
Of the community. l, however, doubt
the efficacy of explanation in these cases

men,s; bis hide is like leather. Neither
no nor Patterson have asked for an inves.
tigation by the Senate into the charges
made against them. Senator Carpenter
looked somewhat uneasy yesterday on
account Of the rumor that Cakes Ames
had refreshed his memory and that n
fee Of $4,000 to the senator to assist in
his election to the United States sena'e,
and thel Union Pacific railroad

soon. Senator Wilson, who is
nothing If not moral, in conversation yes.
terday, said that he proposed Offering o
resolution to e1pel Senator Pomeroy, on
account OF his recen: attempt at bribery
when friend Of Pomeroy's presen. said,
if you do l will prefer charges against
you and have you impcached, for We are not
verdant enough TO not know that you nor
any other man can shield himself in law
behind his wife in business transactions as
you have done in your Credit Moblier

"KETuCKY JOE"
The lobbyist, who refuses to fell what lie
did with the $25o0oo corruption fund Of
tho Union Pacific railroad, still "molders'
in tho house Of representatives cell. In
order 10 keep away the moldcr, Joe is for
titled with demijohn of Old Bourbon and
a basket Of wine with which he dispenses
tho hospitality of his cell to those who
call on him.
THE COTTON TAX.
The vote ) yesterday in the house TO ix
a day for the consideration Of the cotton
tax lacked six votes OF two-thrds in favor
ofit. This vote shows that the measure TO
refund the cotton tax has gaincdi great
strength since the last vote. If the bill
can be brought before congress it will IN
doubtedly pass.
