Another credit mObfiter ScncHhe.
New York, March 20.
The Chimes" says: The complaint Of the
Union Pacific Railroad Company against
McComb, which we publish this morning,
will be found interesting to others besides
lawyers. 1t contains the history of facts
in the famous Credit Mobilier scheme,
which brought ruin to so many reputa-
tons a baH dozen years ago. At that time
il was very well proved that the bona .tfde
shareholders, as well as the Government,
had been made to pay extravaganza profits
to a company OF Directors of the Union
Pacific for running the Credit Mobilier
corporation. 1t was supposed that the
Government would be able to recover from
the Credit Mobilier, bnt though the wrong
committed was substantial, and the con-
duct of those who committed it outrageous,
the Supreme Court decided that the action
would not lie. But now comes the Union
Pacific Company and sues one of its faith
less officers for his share of the ill-gotten
gains. The complaint sets forth the method
by which the Trustees of the Union Pacific
managed to pocket a dollar or more for
every dollar which the road cost to build.
If equity" be not merely an empty tech
nicality; if the the law is designed to do
justice, and not to cover up ~swindling, it
would seem that the company ought to win
the suit which it has brought.
Not Compiim entary to General
Grant.
NEW York. March %.
The "Sun's'' leading editorial says I:
General Grant is studying the people of
the different countries in the Old World,
to learn how people are ruled, and he is
studying the Monarchial Governments to
learn how a Monarchial Government may
be established in the United States. This
is no imaginary dream we point to a real
danger. Grant is not like Washington. He
was net content with the highest military
rank ever conferred upon the Father of
His Country, but craved and obtained a
higher rank. He is not content with two
terms of the Presidency, which satisfied
Washington, and all Of his successors bill
Grant he wishes a third he wants to be
Emperor. Grant is not an unselish patri-
OF like Washington he rather resembles
Alexander and Napoleon, and his I'M
bridled ambition already menaces the lib
critics of his country.
seymour n Prominent Can iidate
or Governor.
New YORK, March 30.
The s.Sun's" Albany correspondent saws:
Horatio Seymour, in spite of his repeated
refusal to accept the Office, is to-day the
most prominent candidate for Governor in
the State of New York. Circumstances
have conspired recently to bring his name
before the people, and when that name is
mentioned it awakens enthusiasm which
other name can raise.
The Rochester 'Union and Advertiser"
also, says the "Union," made no mistake
when a week ago it named Horatio Sey-
mour as the man to whom the Democrats
the State turned their eyes in this
emergency, This is the man who can be
relied upon as the leader of the whole
party, and not of a faction. Other au-
thorities assert that the use of Mr.. Sew
mour's name Is only a mask to cover the
designs of Robinson's opponents, who will
at a favorable time disclose their real
preference for Sanford E. Church.
ROwelI Exhibiting Himself for Pay.
New York, March 20.
The reason that Rowell did not start for
home on Wednesday was, because that
several offers of large pay for exhibiting
had been made. He is said to
have received 5000 for running eight
miles in Philadelphia on Wednesday. On
the afternoon and evening of mex. Monday,
he will show himself at Springfield, Mass,
and will probably perform in Boston later
in the week. He may make a tour of the
country, if his London engagements can
be postponed, and one plan is for him to
give ten-mile walking and running matches
with O'Leary.
Public Sentiment Against Using
Troops at the Polls.
WASHINGTON, March 30.
In the House, to-day, Stephens argued
that the public sentiment, North and
South, was lagainst the employment of
at the polls. There was no need of
such a thing. The country has got along
without it for t~hree-quarters of a century.
There would be no harm done, therefore,
by a repeal of the law. The chairman
overruled the point raised by
Reagan, and holding that the section
was german. The appeal was taken, and
the division sustained by 1875 to 107. A
general discussion was then opened by
Garfield, the agreement being that no vote
will be taken to-day.
