The Committoe of tho House Of 1tcpro-
sel.tativea charged with tho a1airs of tho Pc
ci!lc Railroads has persistontly refused to in.
yestigate the charges Of corruption against
tho Central Pacific Railroad Company. At
tho present session, tho same Committee has
resolved TINT it will not invostigate. There
hos always heen strong belief, amounting
almost to conviction, that tho Credit-Alo-
blior robbery discovered in the Union paciao
division Of the road was q minor affair {only
S37, 600, ,0OO) compared with what was hidden
in the ContrAl end Of tho road. Tho House
Of Representatives refused 10 recognize
suspicion Of any corruption III tho Affairs Of
tho Union Pacific Company. and the exposure
ut Inst ca1no from without, md Congress waa
compelled to uncover tho whole disgraceful
record. Wo nil know how the responsibility
for tho Crelit-siobilier corruption was "di-
vitlea" by having Demoorats vote with Re-
publ'cans on every question.
but thero cnn DO no equal division Of ro-
Bponsibility at thiH Time. Tho Republicans
Of tho House hnYo d majority Of two.th;rls,
nna lnyo absolute control Of legislation. Tho
Democrats alone hnye not the power to or<ser
anything, or defeat anything, SO that tho re-
sponsibility for what ia done, mud for what is
not donc must mainly rost upon tho nopub-
liean party. Now tits Committoo on paoi1o
Railroad has declared that It will not iny8sti.
gate the charges That l'ayo been matlo, and
tho House Of Representatives, by It's ,lon.ao.
ton, must assun,o tha responsibility for tho

AN CAREER.


THE OF A POLISH
his LATEST STROKE OF GOOD FORTUNE.
The Springfield (Mass.) Union says: Ed
ward D'Archen, the son of Polish professor
and princess, applied at a station house at
Troy, the other night, for a lodging. His
parents came to this country about sixty
years ago on account Of political troubles,
and he was born shortly after their arrival
in New York. His father soon died and his
mother went back to Poland, leaving her
son with a family who adopted him. He was
afterwards thrown upon his own resources
and went to Europe and learned the trade
OF a machlnist. Being OF an inventive
turn of mind, he discovered a
method Of applying coal gas az a
motive power, but owing to the fraiIty of
his machinery the experiments failed. He
had no means of continuing them, and he
was finally defrauded by persons of wealth
of his secret. His next discovery was the
manner OF making sea water tit for drinking.
and a Polish gentleman of great wealth also
succeeded in possessing himself of his in
formation, for which he received but little
compensation. He went to Hamburg and
became a political and humorous writer for
one of the papers published there, and at
one time was offered the position of chief
editor of one of the opposition papers.
He finally came to this country
and worked at his trade in New York for a
time. He became established in business.
and was on the road to prosperity, when a
fire destroyed his property, and he was
again compelled to work for a living. For
tune was not propitious. He was unable TO
keep at work, and commenced a wandering
life. He walked in search of employment
rom New York to Philadelphia, thence to
Pittsburg, Chicago, Cleveland, indianapolis,
and finally back TO New York. He was i'm
the Union army during the war ard was
wounded at Harper's Ferry, but owing to
some irregularity he has been unable to get
any pension. When the offer was made
by the state of S10e, 900 as a prize for a steam
canal boat, D'Archen invented a plan,
using clock work machinery as a propel;ing
power. He was again unfortunate, for no
one would furnish him means with which to
build a boat, and his scheme was aban-
doned. A short time ago he was shown an
English paper, Offering a reward for an in
vention by which an air ship could be pro-
PEELED. The details of the matter, the article
stated, were i'm the possession of some
wealthy gentlemen, who were the propon-
ents OF the offered rewards. D'Archen has
secured the promise of assistance from some
wealthy gentlemen in New York, and in
tends TO go TO England and compete for the
rewards.

a ENCOUNTER WITH AN ASSASSIN
n R0BBER-A WOMAN CoNQUERS BY THE
USE OF A FARMERS SPADE.
The Charlotte IN. c. Observer relates the
following encounter between a woman and a
would-be robber: We print below the partic-
ulars ofthe killing of an unknown negro in
Rowan county, last Thursday night,
by Mr.. and Mrs. Caleb Setter. We
were told yesterday morning that Mr..
Setter had died from the wounds which
he received during the terrible encounter.
On the night of the 18th inst, a most horri-
BILE crime was attempted in the western part
OF Rowan county. The circumstances as l
heard them on the spot from Mr.. and Mrs.
Setter, are substantially as follows: Two
negro men, unknown to their would-be vic
Tins, went to the house of Mr..
Caleb Setter, a worthy and esteemed
citizen of our neighborhood, who lives
at the crossing OF the Salisbury, Sher-
rill's Ford, Concord, and Neely's mill roads,
about eleven miles from Salisbury. The
time of their approach was between the
hour of10 and IL o'clock p. n. after the fami-
", which consists only of Mr.. Setter and his
wife, had retired. They knocked at the door,
giving their names as Jim Jordan and Frank
Johnson respectively, and asked admittance
into the house ostensibly for the purpose OF
procuring fire % 'strike camp" pretending
to be wagoners. The negro Jordan en-
tered the house with an ~impudent, swag
gering air, got his fire, and retired, Mr.. 5.
following him to the door. He then Joined
his companion, who had remained out
side, walked off some distance with him,
threw down his fire, and held a consultation
In a few moments they returned to the
house, and Jordan again entered-this time
on the pretextof wanting water. He stalked
up TO the hearth where Mr.. s. was sitting,
! and asked il he (Setzer) had any money to
lend him. Upen being answered in the
