AN OBSERVER.

We are aware that many dislike the
Credit Association scheme, aud also that
Mr.. Ha9emann is understood TO have said,
in conversations here, that the money ne
cessaTy for tue erection Of the Factories
could be raised without a Credit Associa-
tiOu.
1t may not be wholly Improbable 10
subject this question to some ventilation,
and to ascertain, if possible, whether the
dislike to the Credit Association is iusti-
fed or not, leaving it out of consideration
for the present whether the actual state
of the money market may not have
modified Mr.. Hagemann's opinion with
regard to the raising of the money. And
has he, after all, expressed any thing but
a hope that the money would BIZ raised
without the Credit Association, finding,
as he of course soon did, that the unpUpu-
larity of the credit scheme might operate
iniuriousIy on the Central Factory plan
Without going into all examination of
THIS problem, for the satisfactory solution
of which the necessary materials may not
be at hand, it may not be out of tho way
to remark here at once that it cannot but
strike any one, we think, that when money
men at home tiud it profitable to invest
in an enterprise like the one contemplated,
it cannot be otherwise for people here,
and that they should therefore leave
nothing undone, no stone unturned, to
enable them to get a greater share in the
profits of the undertaking. If the
Credit Association can lead to that
which every one can see at once that it
can--the justification of the dislike to it
would be at once rendered more difficult.
Let us then take a glance at this side
of the question to-day again. As we have
already shown in our last observations
on this subject, these profits will be
much greater if we get the loan, for
which, according to the Draft of Law,
the Credit Association is a necessary con
dition. 1t is evident that, when a capital
of, say, ST., 900, invested in Factories,
can be calculated to give here, as in other
places where they have been erected on
a sound basis, a dividend OF 20 per cent.
or 100000 p. a., then, 10 case the half
Of that capital (s75o,OO0) be procured by
o loan at 6 per cent, or $4,000 p. a.,
there will be $255,000 for dividend on
the other $780, 600, or, in other words,
a dividend of "a per cent.

To the Editor of the "st, CrOix Avis"

To the Editor Of the +" st. Croix Avis"
Sir,
In a leading article in your paper
OF the 22nd last month, you say-if l
read aright-that Central Factories, which
we all more or less believe will be the
only salvation of the island, can only be
had through a loan from the State Trea-
sury, and that such a loan can only be
obtained on condition that we here raise
a sum of 1915, 900, which, again, can only
be done through a Credit Association, and
that, consequently, Central Factories can
only be had through a Credit Association.
l am a finn believer in the enormous
benefit we would derive from the Fac
tories, but the Credit Association scheme
| never liked, nor is this dislike peculiar
to me. Many staunch advocates for the
Factories are against Credit Associations,
but when it comes to this, that the form
er are impossible without the latter, we will
have to swallow the pill, I suppose.
From conversations with Mr.. Hagpmann
we had, however, received the impression
that he considered the enterprise would
be so we'll paying, that it would be carried
out, even without a loan from the State
Treasury. Have we misunderstood Mr..
H%agemann, or, if not, why trouble our
selves about this Credit Association
scheme which, as | have said, is distastelul
to many?

CONNECTICUT REFoRMERs.

The Connecticut legislature is of an en-
quiring turn of mind just now. A news
paper correspondent has startled it out of
its serenity. The correspondent of the
New Haven Palladium has been telling
some wholesome truths or naughty false
hoods about the "reform" members of that
body, and after trying to frown it down by
an appearance of virtuous indignation, it
has concluded to look into the matter
little. That correspondent, whose trust
worthiness is ayouched by his editor,
writes as follows 'The secret of raising
" the party standard on 80 many questions
" that in no especial way concern one
party more than the other, is beginning
" TO crop out. 1t is neither more or less
" than because certain of the leading men
g number of the rank and file, are openly
g in the market for sale. The fact is free
sly talked of in the lobbies of the state
house and about the hotels, and seems to
Z" be Just as we'll established as any fact
" can be that has not been ascertained by
"judicial investigation. There are men who
- make themselves prominent in debate
g who are understood to have their regular
"price in the market; while the smaller
fry, who have nothing but their votes to
g barter, 90 very cheap. They find out
who are managing the cases in which
pecuniary interests are involved, and ac-
tually offer their votes tor sale. These
high-toned patriots do not wait to be
4" seduced-they run after the supposed
" corruptors and PROSTATE themselves be-
" fore them. 1t is said by those who know
"the inside history of this business that
the venality of this legislature exceeds
anything of the kind ever before known
60 in this state"
OF course, no one will believe it. Why,
these men thus accused are democrats,
elected on "reform" professions. The idea
that such men offer their votes for sale
without waiting to be seduced is simply
preposterous. We should as soon believe
that such virtuous democrats as "Bilr'
Tweed, Dick Connolly, Ingersoll, 'Prince'
Harry Genet, and Tom Field would try to
cheat the city of New York by "raising
bills and receiving per centage thereon ;
that the governor and council of New
Hampshire would endeavor to secure a
democratic majority in the state senate by
calling all votes returned for "Natt" Head
blanks, and, at the same time, send an
other man of the same faith to congress by

1t cannot be expected that little organs,

1t appears.

Does the constitutional provision, which
declares that "all bills for raising revenue
4" shall originate in the house of represent
" atives, but the senate may propose or
90 concur with amendments" mean any
thing D.? That IS what John G. Michels of
New York wants to know and proposes to
find out. The sundry civil appropriation
bill, as it passed the house, contained no
provision for "rasing revenue but the
senate amended it by providing for in
creased postage, and so Michels claims
that the appropriation bill was transformed
into bill for "raising revenue and, as it
did not "originate in the house," that 80
much thereof is unconstitutional and void.
He, therefore, presented to the postmaster
of New York, for transmission to Phila-
delphia, book on which the postage was
paid according to the old rates, but which
the postmaster refused to receive and he
has now applied fora mandamus to compel
its receipt and transmission as fully pre-.
paid matter. The application will be
heard before Judge Batchiord early in
August, and, if Michels has money enough,
we may, in the end, know just what rev
enue bill is, and what is meant by the dec
laration that they 'shalf originate in the
house."

There ale newspapers in Vermont that
publish the advertisements of "curb stone
brokers' the object of which is to entice
men to speculate" under their auspices in
Wall street, and, although wealth is assured
and no risks incurred, there are editors
found who give an editorial endorsement
to these schemes, and there may be fools
who will bite at the gilded bait only to get
bit in return. If any there be who propose
to thus make fools of themselves, it may
be of interest for them to learn that one of
these firms is now under arrest, charged
with defrauding young man or young
fool out of some four hundred dollars.
This youth bought "call' paying therefor
one hundred and forty-eight dollars, TWEEN
ty-five cents, and soon the stock quotations
showed that he was entitled to receive his
money back and one hundred and ninety
seven dollars and fifty cents in addition
thereto. He demanded his money, but
didn't get it, and has commenced civil
suit for its recovery 1t is said that this
firm has made some forty thousand dollars
by this class of frauds, but the civil suit is
defended on the ground that the defendant
is minor, being only sixteen years old,
and he therefore pleads the "baby act.
We should suppose sixteen old year baby
would be of the proper age to pull the
wool over the eyes of those countrymer
who expect to compete with Wall stree
brokers, gamble in stocks, and reap gol(
without running any risks or being liable
to any loss, but we know not how to char
acterize Vermont editors who endorse sucl
schemes.

Postmaster General Jewell is doing a

good work, but he has his hands full 1t he
expects to lid the service of dishonest, in
competent or careless officials. The last
case of carelessness worthy of his serious
attention is that in the Patterson, New
Jersey, postoffice. In February, the First
national bank deposited in the postoflice a
letter containing ten thousand dollars IN
checks, etc., directed to bank in New
York city, but the letter falling to reach
its destination, search was made for ii
without avail. Nothing was left for the
RENTING bank to do but to so arrange as
to prevent loss, which it succeeded in do
ing, and by indemnity bonds, settled with
all the parties entitled to the money ex-
cept in the case of two hundred dollars in
pension checks. While it was arranging
these, and the government was searching
for mail robber, six months passed, when
the Patterson postoflice clerks "poking I'M
der the stamping table" for other letters
which had been dropped, found the miss
ing letter and its contents intact, lying be.
