THE PRESIDENTS FEARS.

There is too much investigation going
on in Washington. The President
does not approve of it. lie IS reported
to have said that "the investigation in :
stigated by those who had sought to
dissolve the Union were undertaken for
the purpose Of destroying instead OF
reforming the Government" 1t is un-
fortunate that the head of the Govern
1nent should think this, because ii viii
become his sworn duty to sec that the
Government is not destroycd; while it
is for the salvation of the Government
that the people, as they suppose, are
conducting the investigation which he
denounces as treasonous. There is a
house seemingly divided against itself
here. The people trying with all their
power to expose the villainy of the
most Infamous set of thieves that ever
cursed nation by filling its leading
offices, while the Chief Executive
stands between public opinion and the
thieves, and declares that the investi-
cations are conducted, not for the pur-
pose of convicting the thieves, but OF
destroying the nation. If is strange
logic.

TEXAS RAILROAD.

The case of Jackson ct ais VS.. Ludel.
ing ct ais which was decided in No.
vember, 1874, by the Supreme Court o!
the United States against Labelling &
Co., and decIeeing tho sale to the lat
ter to be fraudulent and void, and alsC
demanding the same to the Circuit
Court of the United States, for the
District of Louisiana, ordering that
court toappoint Il receiver for the road
and ordering Ludeling Il Co. to ac-
count for all money, property, &c, re-
Iceived by them on account Of the sale
TO them, came up, on their account, be-
fore Judge Woods, in the city of New
Orleans last Thursday.
In Ludelirg d. Co.'s account, they
claim n balance due them of 1885,
OBI 80. The main question before the
Court was as to whether they We're
entitled to anything under the laws OF
the State OF Louisiana. Judge John a.
Cam bell and Judge Spotford, counsel
for plaintiff, argued that, as they were
possessors in bad faith, they were not
entitled to the revenues arising from
the road, or to any claim for value OF
repairs and improvements. Ray and
Hunt, attorneys for defendant, claimed
that they We're not only entitled TO be
paid their entire claim, but were en-
TITLED to the privilege of being paid
before the mortgaged creditors.
The above from the Vienna Sentinel
states very clearly how litigation in
the railroad case stands. Judge Woods
has not, as we have seen, decided the
point raised in the argument noticed by
our contemporary.

THE EMMA MINE FRAUD.

The history of Schenck's Emma
Mine swindle is thus told by an ex-
change:
The main fact is that some years ago a
company was formed in London to pur-
chase the now celebrated Emma mine
"a mine differing from other mines in
this respect, that the celebrity of those
for instance the great deposits Of Potosi,
and Zacatecas, and Nevada, is derived
from the abundant supplies of precious
metal which they furnished, the cele-
brity of this one is based upon it's abun-
dant deficiency in that respect. 1t was
not only Il case of "the more you put
In the less you take out" but 1t was a
case of putting everything in and get
ting nothing out. To sell such II pro-
perty AS that WAS, strange as it may
seem, a very easy thing in London.
Albert Grant, the great "promoter,"
took the enterprise in hand, and with
him were associate as promoters and
directors II large number of persons
with honest names and high-sounding
titles. Conspicuous among these was the
name and official title of Gen. Schcncl>,
American Minister ut the Court of st.
James. Principally through the infiu-
ence of these honest names, and high
sounded titles, the British public were
allured into the scheme. The capital
of f5, OOO,OOO was eagerly Subscribed;
the shares We're zealously sought, and
they soon advanced toa premium on
the strength of kilograms and reports
from the mine, which opened to the
longing eyes of the share hunters,
visions of sudden wealth exceeding the
riches of Aladdin's cavern, or of Sin
bad's diamond valley. At this time
the ;prOmoters'' sold out and pocke ted
4 rich dividend, derived not from the
depth Of the Emma Mine, but from the
depleted pockets of the British share
holders. Then it was discovered that
the whole affair was Il sham; that the
Emma mine was n delusion, and the
honest names and higll-soundins titles
of the directors, Il snare. Not to put
too fine Il point on it, it was found that
the British public had been thoroughly
swindled: and that the Emma mine
was only "pocket," and not II "tis-
sure vein" which is equivalent to say
ing that after the first "tind' of ore
was exhausted the mine was worthless.
1t is now believed that the persons
who got up this scheme were all the
time aware Of the worthlessness of the
property which they offered for sale,
and it is charged that Mr.. Schenck re-
ceived large payment in guaranteed
shares and otherwise, for the use of his
name.
