barely possible that they may have
succeeded in reaching the Mexican

against that event.
More Msroed indictments aud AR
MERGED, CAL, Aug. 26th.-The
Grand Jury reported an Indictment
this afternoon against James W..
Robertson, ex-County Judge, who
was Immediately arrested by the
Sheriff. His hail was fixed at
three thousand dollars. The Jury
is known to have a number OF 9th
er cases in course Of investigation
and large batch of bills of indict-
ment is expected to be presented
before that body closes its labors.
An expert is busily engaged In ex.
amining the books of the county
officers; and. il any of the old
officers escape indictment, it will
be looked upon as miraculous. The
excitement among the people in.
creases as the work progresses.

We find that there are quite q
number of our citizens who afe elg-
n0rant of what the Credit Mobilier
company was. The word has for
years f1oated through their memo
ries, but In vague and indefinite
way. It was an organization or
company formed by the leading
stockholders in the Union Pacific
Railroad Company, as construc-
tion company, for building the
road. The fact is familiar to the
public that the Pacific Railroad
wss built with funds supplied by
the United States government.
The subscribers TO the stock of the
road were rather contractors for
building, At with the use Of govern
meHssfands than capitalists who
we're tn build the road with their
own funds. Congress appropriated
to the company above $4,000. 900
for the construction OF less than
seven hundred miles OF road, with
alternate sections OF land on each
aide OF 1t throughout the line. This
average of about sixty-nine thous-
and dollars per mile was more than
su6lclent to construct the road,
which was to be the property Of
the company, with the adjacent
lands. when finished, on certain
conditions. 1t pertained to the in
terest of the stockholders to spend
the money voted by Congress for
construction, and to spend it on
themselves. And hence it was that
the Credit Mobilier-a wheel
within q wheel, or ring within q
ring-was introduced. The Pacific
Railroad Company was intrusted
BY Congress with nearly S4S. 900 900,
buu Will MIfiiuus VI ucre5 OF pup
lie land, to build highway to the
Paoifc. 1t was their duty, under
the trust, to build the road as eco
nOmically as was consistent with
thorough and substantial work.
But the leading members of the
company entered into another or
ganizatiou for doing the work
themselves, on the most extrava-
giant scale of expenditure. There
was danger that the public and
Congress might detect them In
this sharp practice, and hence it
became eminently desirable that
they should create strong inter.
est in Congress by liberal distri-
button Of stock among the MEM
bers. Oakss Ames, member of
the House from Massachusetts,w was
Entrusted with the delicate Office Of
"placingD the stock "where,n as
he expressed it, 'it would do the
most good for us.r He offered
shares In the Credit Mobilier, in
limited amounts, 10 members, and
1t the same time gave them the
most glowing, though not exag-
Rsrated, pictures of the dividends
{ they would derive from the stock.
The company needed "more friends
in Congrsss' to counteract the
houtilo movements of "tbe
Washburnes" "Many Of the
members are poor" and he had
sgrssd 10 ''earry their stock" for
them until the dividends should
~ fef y. Shares were 500. Mr..

OUR sprightly contemporary, the
Commercial, occasionally goes off
half-cocked, as it were. Yesterday
morning it confounded Gen.
Winaer, of the Confederate service,
with Captain William A. Winder,
OF San Diego, late Of the Union
army. All our contemporary elo-
quence poured out on the devoted
head of Gen. Winder /. wasted ut
terly when it is applied TO the
shapely caput of as gallant an of1i-
Ger as ever proved his
continuous loyalty to the
flag, viz, Capt. Winder. Dur
ing the war, Capt. William A.
Winder, instead of being in com.
mand of Confederate Bastile at
Belle Isle, was commandant at
Alcatraz, in the Bay of San Fran
cisco. 1t will thus be seen that the
editor of the Commercial will have
to re-arrange his lens II he desires
to see clearly in this matter. in
addition to having been q Union
officer during tho late war, Capt.
Winder originally received his
mission in the regular army
for conspicuous gallantry in the
Mexican war, on which theater
he had q splendid opportunity OF
observing the soldierly qualities OF
Hancock in his youth. Flattering
as was Captains now DR..

SECOND EDITION
From the Phiia. Times.
The Paper Monopoly In Congress


What was Intended as q just protec-
ton TO the manufacturers of printing
paper, has been perverted 70 a mast OPP
pressive monopoly, and that monopoly
is largely II not mainly owned by Con-
gresham Miller, of New York, aud
Congressman Russell, of Massachu-
sets.
1t is now conceded that the clause In
the tariff that protects this monopoly Of
Representatives Miller and Russell was
believed by Congress to have been re-
pealed some years ago: but by an over
sight of Congress or the cunning of
some shrswd clerk, the words "dried
pulp, twenty per cent. ad valorem,"
were retained in the law, in paIpable
conflict with the terms which place
pulp and woods for the manufacture of
paper on the Tree list.
The pulp from which the bulk Lof
printing paper is now made is protected
first by patent until 1924, and second by
q duty of twenty per cent. that Congress
did not mean TO impose; and with due
respect to the speculative interest of
Representatives Miller and Russell,
who now count their profits, or rather
their extortion, by the hundreds of
thousands annually, we submit that
Congress can't too speedily admonish
the paper mOnopolists by repeating the
duty OF twenty per cent. On pulp.

Accidental Shootftea.

Last evening while Frank Town.
send, son of b. Frank Townsend, was
playing with three companions on the
N. W. corner of Second and French
streets, he was accidentally shot. 1t
appears from what facts that can be
CLEANED in regard to the affair, that
while the four boys were amusing
themselves, one of the number named
Henry Troth, small lad, drew from
one of his pockets small toy pistol
and pointing it at young Townsend,
fired, the ball tax ng effect in one of h 8
shoulders. He Immediately ran home
crying that he was shot. When he had
informed his parents of the fact, DIR.
Maull was summoned, who, after con-
siderable probing removed the ball to-
gether with small piece of clothing
that had been driven into the flesh by
the force of the ball. The wound al
though painful is not dangerous. The
boy who committed the act was sub
sequently arrested by Sergeant Legg,
and taken to the City Hall, where the
revolver was taken from him.
He stated to the authorities that he
had purchased the weapon for rs cents
from Walters s. Co., who keepa Je W
store on Market street above Front.
There certainly should be some law
that would prevent dealers from selling
such dangerous weapons to children.

tised in no other paper in this CITY,
This fact is sufficient to show the farm

to establish the fact that the DELLA

How creyhounds Are Trained.

The human deniZens OF proverty
stricken novels, or in the crowded al
leys of cities might well envy grey
hound in training for the Waterloo
cup, England. His Kennel to begin
with is artificially warmed by flue
which runs right round it, and his
food consists of strong jelly, made
from beasts or calves feet, or from
buliocks' or sleeps heads. With this
jelly is mixed some carefully selected
oatmeal, and week before running
the favored long-tail has his wind
cleared by a diet of roast mutton
and crisp toast. Each day of his
life this greyhound is well groom
ed with a horse-hair brush on
returning from exercise and his
feet are as carefully washed and wiped
as those Of Derby favorate. As
much thought is bestowed upon his
training and exercise as is given by a
crack Newmarket trainer of horse to
the condition of an animal upon
which the money is about to be
dumped down." The result is that
greyhounds are now brought to the
scratch with gloss on their coats
aud lot of hard muscle upon their
loins, which auger i'll for the
suffering horse, exposed to the en-
durance of suspense when their lives
hang in balance.
