MIR. DONNELLY AND THE MEM.
PHIs PACIFIC.
The exposure Of the new Credit Mo-
bilier affair, which appeared in last even
ing DISPATCH, derives especial local in
terest. from the fact that Ignatius Dom
nelly. Of this State, is set down IS . re-
cipient Of 100000 in stock and . due
bill for $50, 900, said due bill to have been
cashed by the proceeds Of bonds put up
on the Paris Bourse by Fremont.
We make no conccalment Of the regret
experienced ewing to this cloud upon Mr..
Donnelly. His prominence and ability as
an advocate Of reform have made him
bitter enemies who now seek to exagger.
ate and distort the present development.
Tbs IS not altogether unnatural
though decidedly unfair and unjust.
Mr. Donnelly, however, is but IN indi-
vidual and if he cannot stand before the
simeon ofinvestigations which are sweep
ing over the country, he must fail. It j.
with view Of rendering exact justice
that We proceed to consider his case.
As the matter viii doubtless become
the subject Of : searching Congressional
investigation many new facts may be de-
veloped, which may change the present
status. A the charge now stands it il
IS stated above, and to this Mr.
Donnelly has put in the
general and unqualified denial that hi

his gang.

We would mildly suggest to Blakely
that it would afford him great relief, if
he would take just one page Of the Pho

might be relieved by varieties Of type. 1t

The Hon. Samuel s. Cox.

Nellie Stephens, the sprightly Washing
ton letter writer and correspondent of the
Detroit Free Press, speaks as follows, IN
that paper. of the prospective speaker of
the next house Representatives, the Hon.
Samuel S. Cox;
S. s. Cox,,is named asa candidate for
speaker of the body of which he has for
quite time been member. 1t is said
that he is fifty years old, but the ex
preston of his face is so full of wit and
humor that he seems very much younger
He is graduate of Brown University, and
is the author of several books His reputa-
ton as lecturer is also great, and he
never fails to draw a crowd. Years ago
heard him deliver lecture on Irish
Bulls and Blunders' at the Smithsonian
Institute, and again last winter at Mrs.
Dahlgrens parlor entertainment. Mr..
Cox was very apt to pay his respects to
| Gen. Butler on the floor of the house, and
MIR. Butler was quite apt to respond in the
same manner.
10 appearance, the gentleman from New
York can scarcely be called handsome.
He is rather short in stature, but firmly
and compactly built. His hair is dark, and
he has dark piercing eye, with a most in
tellectual cast of countenance. Poetry,
jest, philosophy and logic flow from his
lips. Whatever subject he may be dis
cussing it is treated with the most econ.
summate ability, and he keeps his audi
ence in close attention upon him all the
time he speaks. The mostibrilliant witt
cisms, singing repartee and logical reason
ing is uttered with readiness. He seems
to be able to say more severe things in the
house, without giving offence, than any
man there.
Miss Stephens is evidently lady Of
keen discernment and excellent judgment
We hope she will have an opportunity o.
officer in the speakership of the next house
of representatives.

Mails2--A New View of Anthony
Comstock's Crusade in the Me-
tropolis--What a New York
Physician Says.

The crusade against obscene literature
which Mr.. Comstock and some of his friends
in the Young Mems Christian Association
are popularity supposed to have instituted
in New York, is beginning to be sharply
criticised. 1t has even been asserted in
some of the Metropolitan papers that, I'M
der the guise of suppressing indecent pub
locations, legitimate business has been in
terfered with by violation Of the sancti-
ty of the United States mails which has no
precedent except under government most
despotic. While the people generally will
most heartily sustain any and all efforts to
suppress and stamp out the obscene liter
ature which is the curse of the land, they
are ready to admit the possibility Of prac
Using 'pious fraud" in the ostensible
prosecution of the work.
One Of the most interesting episodes Of
the controversy which some of Mr.. Com
stocks doings have excited in New York,
is letter from DIR. ID. B. Richards of Va
rick street, New York. proprietor of 1.-THE
Golden Remedies" wherein complaint is
made Of most unjust treatment. He car
ries on business which he maintains to
be perfectly honorable; and which, at the
appearance OF Comstock as supervisor of
the mails, he valued at 100000. All at
once, he says, his orders ceased, and in
stead came notes which he believed to orig
mate from Comstock, asking for certain
remedies in which ne did not deal. Be-
sides a great detriment to business, DIR.
Richards declares that he has suffered loss
10 money and post Office orders, which
some one has appropriated; and he evi
IDENTIFY thinks the whole process an attempt
at blackmail. He wrote, first to the post
master at New York, and, obtaining no re.
dress, addressed his complaint to the au.
thorites at Washington, who promised tC
thoroughly Investigate lhe matter In the
meantime, DIR. Richards says that Com,
stock came to see him and desired him t
withdraw the affidavit made to the Post
master-GeneraL. In this document DR.
Richards produces proofs, not only tina
certain letters mailed to him at differen
points never reached him, but that som,
Of those which did reach him bore unmis
taxable signs of having been tampereC
with. In concluding very vigorous pub
lie letter, DIR. Richards demands the reno
val Of Comstock from his position, since b,
has so misused the opportunities given hin
as to break down, for personal ends,
business strictly legitimate. He maintain
that such an outrage as that which b,
charges upon Comstock or his co-worker
is the entering wedge to q system of spoil
iation which will destroy all legitimate bus
mess. Whatever may be the merits o
the controversy, the public will be glad t.

ly sifted, so that all extra judicial acts ma,

The Black Hills and the Sioux

The gold-fever agitation, which has led
few hundred adventures to essay trip
to the Black Hills in quest of the precious
metal, much to their ultimate discontinue
and loss, is destined to reveal to the great
masses of people much information, in rela-
ton to every feature of that region, geolog:
ically speaking, and much that will be
new in regard to the characteristics of the
natives who own and inhabit it. There
has lately been appointed commission by
the government to go among the Indians
(Sioux) of the country, and engage their
attention in plan for the purchase of all
or part Of their reservation. The COM
mission consists of the following gentle
men: Hon. f. w. Palmer, of Chicago;
United States Senator Allison, of Iowa;
United States Senator Morrill,, of Yer
mont; Congressman ComiDgo, of Missouri

Episcopal Church; General Ferry, of the
