WILL THE SENATE ExpEL PATTERsoN?-
The report made by the Morrill, committee
to the Senate, it is satisfactory to learn,
includes resolution demanding the ex-
pulsion of Senator Patterson, of New Hamp-
shire, for his share in the corruptions of the
Credit Mobilier and for his shameful tergiver-
sations in regard to it since the opening of the
inquiry. The House has failed to appreci-
ate its dishonor in its refusal to
purge itself of those who tainted its
reputation by their presence. Can we now
hope that the magic of the old cry, 'Look to
the Senate!" will arouse that body to a sense
of its duty? 1t may be that the Senate will
find some one to play the part of Butler, and
Harlan, perhaps, may rise to the level of de-
Tending Patterson, as Bingham arose from
his degradation to sing the glories Of his
patron, Ames. Is Harlan ready for the con-
spicuous dishonor? We shall not be sur
prised. But has the Senate the man
illness to expel this corpse that halls
from New Hampshire? That is the question.

The KIND OF MEN RAISED IN MAssAcnu-
SETS, General Butler said, in his speech during
the Credit Mobilier discussion in Congress-
were such as his friend Cakes Ames is. He
said this exultingly, and we imagine we see
him pointing to Ames with dramatic atti-
tude while uttering this sarcastic truth. The re-
porter says there was laughter in the House. No
doubt all must have been struck by the fitness
multiplication of the expression. Herein lies
the evil which has worked so much corruption
in Congress and the government, and that
makes General Butler the ardent defender of
Cakes Ames 1t is Massachusetts morality
and the kind of men raised in that State that
have demoralized the government and country
since the war commenced. General Butler,
unconsciously, perhaps, never said anything
more truthful.

The End OF the Credit HIobilier Farce
In the House OF Representatives.

In the House OF Representatives.
The melancholy farce has come to conclu-
sion-the long agony of the House over the
Credit Mobilier scandal is over, and
the grooming and trembling mountain,
from its painful labor, has been delivered
of it's little ridiculous mouse. For the last
three days from the learned expounders OF the
law in the House we have had bewildering
exhibition of the legal accomplishments OF
Quirk, Cannon Snap and of the virtues
of Pecksnif, and of patriotic indignation,
maudlin expressions of charity, ingenious
quibblings, bold defiance, oily hypocrisy and
false pretences and, with the boiling down of
all these and other Ingredients of the witches
caldron into the resolutions adopted by the
House, we have the pitiful compromise adopted
between the demands of public justice,
public opinion and public duty on tho one
hand, and of paltry, personal and party con-
siderations on the other. A more adroit and
systematic game of trickery in all its parts
than this it would be difficult to find outside
trigues and devices of the belligerent factions
contending for the State government of Loui-
siana.
In the outset the Poland Investigating Com
mittee tried the experiment of conducting its
examination Of this Credit Mobilier business
with closed doors; but this old Star Chamber
device threw such cloud of public suspicion
over the affair, as whitewashing continuance,
that the doors were opened and the testimony
of witnesses from day to day was gone
into, ventilated and circulated by the public
press. Hence, from the astounding disclosures
ton, involving various members of Congress,
there came from all quarters of the Union
such manifestations Of the public sentiment
concerning these demoralizing transactions
that the House needed no further illumination
in reference to its duty as body representing
the sovereign rights and will of the American
people. But with Judge Poland's report and
his resolutions proposing only the expulsion of
Cakes Ames and James Brooks, the evil
dences of party juggling were appar-
ent. With Buffers proposed judi
ciary substitute it was clear that
the leading idea of the House was show not
to do it'-how to vindicate the honor and
dignity of the House without hurting any
body. The two scapegoats proposed by
Poland-one for the republicans and one for
the democrats-were neat continuance, but it
was too thinly disguised to answer the pur-
pose Buffers proposition was too audacious;
but Sargent's as a compromise, embracing
general verdict against these Credit Mobilier
abuses and special and ''absolute" condem-
nation of Ames and of Brooks, without really
hurting anybody, met the idea and the wishes
of the majority, and so the dignity and honor
of the House were indicated, and so this
wretched farce is ended We presume, how
ever, that the American people will yet have
something to say on this subject, and, perhaps
their judgment may be heard even in the
approaching New Hampshire and Connecticut
elections.

times from place to place in the Winter season,
left without a supply of food, and only given
half blanket each, with none for the squaws
or children, are certainly facts deplorable in
themselves. The right of an Indian to his
reservation until he is moved from it by
proper treaty or Legislative means is the base
of the present peace policy; but three movings
in the Winter season are the very negative of
this. Moreover, that they were swindled by
rascally Indian agents is clear, if their story
is true. Half blanket each for the men, and
none for the women and children, and their
being compelled to eat their horses, and dig
in the hard, frosty soil for edible roots, show
that their item in the Indian Appropriation
bill has not gone to its proper object Proba-
bly, the bank accounts could, in their plethoric
condition, explain how the poor Indian was
vexed and harassed before he took up arms.
1t is important to observe, too, that the In
dams claim distinctly that in the first fight on
Lost River the violence was commenced by the
whites. Our correspondent, in summing up the
case, believes that the Indians have been badly
treated The Californians, it appears, have been
able to get on very well with the tribe, most of
the dissatisfaction and annoyance growing out
of the meddling of the Oregonians. The
Indians have no objection to going on reser-
walton where they can live and be let alone.
The position which the HERALD has held on
this Indian question is certainly not one look
ing to the encouragement of fighting and
- A. L. FL
have advocated the means proposed by General
Sheridan for the settlement of such difficulties
over and over again. 1t is, therefore, without
any suspicion of sentimental fondness for the
Indian that we call on the government
to do justice to the Modoc tribe.
If the country pays for the blankets of the
tribe and if the value of three out of four
goes into the pockets of swindlers, it is some
thing to be remedied. If the country pays for
