of Credit MobilIer stock, bat did not pay

From The NetO York Times. FED. ~, 1873
The character OF the Credit Mobilier was
nosecret. The source OF its profits was very
well known at the time congressman
bought IL. Though Cakes Ames may have
succeeded III concealing his own motive,
which was TO bride Congressmen, theit
acceptance OF the stock was not on tnat
account innocent. The dishouor of the
act, as a participation in an obvious fraud
still remains.
Some Of them have INDUCED III testi =
mony With reference to the matter which
has been contradicted. The committee
dtsfinctty rejects The testimony Of several 0,
The members. This can only be dome on a.
ground that Is untrue. But untrue test

cause an overflow OF the whole of Cher
ry Island marsh to depth of four or
five feet. As the water pouls down
the Brandywine II it could be given an
additional outlet to the Delaware this
might be remedied, or the danger from
over6ows be reduced. To obyiate this
difficulty it has frequently been suggest
ed that a canal should be cut from the
Brandywine at point where IL woull
seem to straighten that crooked stream
to the Delaware river. At one time this
canal project for strengthening the
Brandywine was urged strongly; and 1t
was contended that 1t could be made a
long dock with wharves on each side TO
the Delaware. OF course the improve.
ment was feasible; and is still, as The
mud taken out of the canal for a width
of sixty feet and an average depth Of
six feet, when thrown up on each side
would make permanent bank against
overflow. The canal or ditch would
not be required to be more tan three
fourtbs of mile long, and with the
present facilities for doing such work,
could no doubt be cut in a very short
time, and at very small cost.
As the whole of the land east Of Mar
Ike. street between the Brandywine and
Christiana, at the present rate that
houses are being erected there will soon
be entirely covered with dwellings, lots
along such canal or long dock would
make an admirable place for coal yards
or lumber yards and the railway that
would certainly pass to the propose d
wharf of the Dredging Company, would
render such business places convenient
aud desirable.
All the marsh owners cut bitches
through their property, and know to
penny what it costs to make one. A ditch
six or eight feet wide if opened to the
Delaware might be worn by the force of
freshe.s into quite creek in few
years.
We hope the Dredging Company will
be encouraged in the important enterprise
they have commenced and that they
may be entirely successful.

official statement from Washington is
given in the Sunday papers, of imports
and exports of specie for tho fiscal
year ending June so, 1880, that was
prepared at the Treasury Department.
In regard to the movement Of gold it
shows that during the last fiscal year
the net imports of gold to the United
States amounted to SIT, 15S,SS1, a
larger gain than ever before in the
history of the country. The figures
in regard to the exports and imports
OF silver are not as complete as desir-
ed, but they are sufficiently full to
show that the United States exported
much more silver than it imported.

The Bankers Convention should
ave furnished the country with a
fair statement of the exports and i'm
ports of the "precious metals.n If
that body could only get the people to
pay 4.40 grains of silver for a dollar.
when they only promised to pay 4.124.
the Bank bondholders would no doubt
be delighted. Then tn y would not
care how soon the price of silver bull
lion rose in the market; nor how much
the government mad to pay for metal
to coin. We care but little personally
about the matter. But as the eensure
of the Bankers convention is aimed
ut the Democratic majority in Con-
gress, we feel desire that the Demo-
Gratis of Delaware shall be kept posted
as to the facts. The people have all
along been induced to credit state
ments about the exports and imports
OF the "precious metals that are not
true. 1t has been impressed upon the
people for wo y ars that the coinage
OF silver would drive gold away. This
has been said for two years, and is
continued to be SAID, in the face of
the fact, that England, Ger many and
France, the greatest metal holders in
the world, have held in their banks
and still hold each some three to four
hundred millions of silver and do not
part with it. their gold coin comes
to this country by the million but
their silver coin does not come. An

A LANDING ON THE DELAWARE
Wilmington has been desiring a landing
on her Delaware front for many years.
1t has been discussed and urged ,trong,y
by the GAZETTE for over a quarter of a
century; and other papers have joined
the movement and it became the uuau.-
NOUS opinion so far as the puul e.
could judge, that a road to the Del.
ware ought to be built by the City Cou
Gil, fully twenty years ago. Hal the
country's peace not been disturbed, til.
Improvement would no doubt have bee
effected in some shape or other. Fcr
the money which is required now to "a
the interest on the war debt and pei
sions would no doubt have made th.
people able ere this to accomplish |
the public Improvements they couten-
plated, when the violence Of party feel
ing drove them into hostilities.
The prospect for good road to the Della
ware River now seems mole favorable
The work that the National Dledgln-
Company has commenced must if ca
ried out, result in securing not onl, a
good road to the Delaware, but a sub
stantial and commodious wharf al
which all the steamers plying the Della
ware may take on and land PASSENGERS
This would add hundreds of thousand
of dollars TO the trade of Wilminptoi
annually. Mercl ants on both sides al

below, and from Maryland and Vir
ginia would sop and purchase here if
they could come by steamers.
The Dredging Company have chosen
the right place tor their wharf on tn
Delaware. They propose to make il
800 feet front on the river; and 10 fiji
in the land or marsh th.t width for
distance of 1900 feet toward the cit,
until it is SO high that 10 tide will cove,
1t. This will cover space of gronno
containing about 80 acres, which the,
have purchased. Between the Brandy
wine aud the jackson x Sham G >.
land the Dredging Company own an
other lot that has been rased higher thar
the river bank and other owners oI
marsh have had this Company to rails,
their lots until nearly all the land alon,
the Christiana from Jackson & Sharp'
shops has been raised until a bank abou
80 or 30 feet broad makes further inun
dations Of this land from the breakiu,
of banks impossible.
Now, when the Dredging Compap,
compl te their wharf and fill up the 2,
acres ON the Delaware, they propose L
build road from thai TO The Brandy
wine creek, opposite the foot of Seventh
street, so that the filling up of the marsl
will be nearly completed on both side
of that stream, and a bridge vii. be ON
OF the chief difficulties to making

A Wastarn Horror.

DENVER, Col, October 81
Antonio Mestes, a Mexican OF
Hereford county, murdered his
wife and babe most horribly, a few
days ago. He FIRST knocked the
woman down with a club, then
seized a knife aud lacerated tho
lower portion Of the woman's body,
cutting out immense pieces OF
flesh. He then deliberately ripped
open her womb aud took the still
living child from it, which ho
dashed to the floor and stamped
upon it until life was extinct.
Then he tore the body Of his vito
almost apart, and after further mu-
tilation fed. He was found near
his home and placed 10 the echool
house for safe keeping, With a
guard. His whereabouts being as
certained, six men marched 20 the
school-ho about 10 o'clock az
night, and taking him out. pro-
ceeded to administer punishment
His body was mutilated In the same
manner as was his wife's. His
scalp was then lifted and a rope
tied about his neck, the other end
being attached 70 the horn OF a
saddle. He was dragged about
on the ground until his body was
entirely unrecognizable.

A listless bnt imaginative Scrib-
bier in an Eastern paper has been
making some curious calculations
regarding what Vanderbilt sam
pie millionaire-could do with his
money. And thus be puts the
proposition: civilian Ii. Wander
bilts income from his Investment
in $5l, 100000 four per cent gov
eminent bonds is represented at
$4,000 daily, which is $20S %, per
hour, $3.47 per minute, or over 3
cents per second. Assuming
that he is paid by the sec
ond, he cannot possibly spend his
money, as he could not select his
purchasers and lay down his pieces
fast enough. He could not throw
it away; to pick up, cast, recover,
pick up and cast again would take
him two seconds, and II he worked
all through the twenty four hours,
without rest, he could only dispose
of one half of his income. BY liv-
ing economically, savings up for
four years, he could, placing his
five cent pieces side by side, make
nickel belt around the earth; or
by converting his savings into one
cent pieces, aud mounting them in
a pile, he would, in twenty years,
erect a road to the moon and have
$500 TO invest when he got there.
Should his amusement take a char
liable twist, he could out of years
receipts, donate to every man, wo-
man, and child in the United
States, twenty cents, and have
money left over. Other vast pos
sibIlities occur in the glowing fancy
of the calculator. In one day he
could go to 5000 different circuscs,
eat 10000 pints of peanuts, drink
5000 glasses of lemonade, and
have money left to get his boots
BACKED. He can afford to have
100000 shirts washed in one day,
and ON the day of his death his
income will buy ten first-class flu
neralg.
