A (;NTLE:st AN Writing in us from
Washington, under date of Nov. 29,
EMIZI
From year to year the range of
Congressional Legislation has in
creased in extent
_and importance.
It is found that as the country be
comes older ita interests are more di
veNitied, and that the old policy of
allowing everything to drift with the
tide and take care of itself can no
longer be maintained.
Among the new measures which
will el - )tne before Congrr4s and upon
which the press and the people aught
to be be posted pro and con are:
The organization of Post Office
Savings Banks, which will enable
the people to have a Savings Bank
that can never break at each county
.seat-or other place of commercial im
portance. The Government niff
pay for the use or money froth five
.dollars upwards 3 65-000 per cent. ler
one cent per day per hundred dollars,
and transfer the deposits by means of
pas t-o (Eke orders to any locality with
in the United States (red of charge.
The abolition of the telegraph mo
nopoly and the establishment of a
postal telegraph system, so that
messages can be sent everywhere at
a uniform rate, not exceeding - twen
ty cents for ten 'words and one cent
for every additional word.
The establishment of a Bureau of
Immigration to take charge of
the. interests of newly arrived Immi
grants who are now subject to very
great and unnecessary hardships by
which means - immigration especially
of the better sort is found to be im
peded, and the immigrants demor
alized .
The project of establishing a Gov
ernment Insurance Company, which
will insure all the real estate in the
Leouptry at &greatly reduced rate of
premium and not be affected divas
terously by such a conflagration as
that of Chicago, will also receive at
tention mit IS 110 W in successful op
eration in Germany.
Measures for the - better protection
of the ballot box will be devised, so
that the purchase and intimidation
of,votes, the repeating and cheating
going on in New York city and in
tjle South may be checked. if not pre
vented.
The tariff will also be revised and
taxation diminished, and prelimin
ary legislation looking toward the
resumption of ipecie tiOrisent
undoubtedly - be enacted. eienalor
Sumner and other leaders arealready
moving in the matter of specie pay.
merits.
M e asures for the •revival of our
foreign commerce and for the re-or
ganization of the Civil Service will
be op for discussion, and it. being a
"P--4ential year, all the political
questions of the day will be thorough
ly considered.
Under the circumstances the Capi
tal will be the political focus of unu
suet brUliancy and power, and the
political usefulness of every citizen
- during the coming campaign will be
in precise proportion to his intelli
gent appreciation of the new meas
ures. Our local politicians and pub
lishers must evince a disposition to
learn what is new. They will - mot be
able to interest hearers or readers If
their whole stock in trade consists of
by-gone issues.

—Quite a scene occurred in a Detroit
eating-house a few days since. Mel
ancholy-lookinktnan comes in ; says
he is not very well ; asks permission
to sit a while by the stove : leave
granted ;' is observed to take out a
Saudi vial and apply to his !fps; the
proprietor immediately concludes
that melancholy man is bent upon self
destruction ; rushes to him ; throws
him dowm chokes him to wake him
cast out the fatal drug. At last the
poor victim getting an opportunity,
`explains that he i 9 troubled with a
raging toothache and only took a little
brandy to' assuage the anguish
thereof. A messenger was dispatch
ed to tell the doctor that he needn't
come, and all was serene. 4, Appear
ances were, it must be owned, suspi
cious, and the officious Good Samari-
Lan was no doubt influenced by the
noblest motives; but, bt way of
atoning for his friendly assault,
ought he not at lease to have filled
up the melancholy man's vial ?
—lf long hair be the glory of wo
man, then there is a glorious young
lady in Boston. She wag persuaded
the other day to give a prrvat6 exhi
bition of her beautiful head of long
and heavyblack - diair; Her height - is
5 feet 3 inches. and when she isstand
ing erect her hair falls to her feet,
and trails a quarter of a yard on the
floor. It is 74 inches in length. Here,
indeed is a favorable young person !
No need has she of chignons, nor of
braids, nor of fronts, nor of tricopher

the primal and perfect woman no

carding all mom' principle, we are
tempted to lapse into the meanest
kind of pun, and to pronounce this
Boston beauty the greatest hairess in
America, and probably one of the
best behaved of girls. There! we

piit to bed and everybody was ex
pecting him to expire. But he 'was
poulticed according to spiritual direc

and of a woman named Amanda,

way- by raising hini from his bed,
twirling him in the air. dressing lino

One day six teen spirits carried the

—California emigrants have a sum
mary way of disposing of murderers.
A party- of .500 were encamped near
Council Bluffs recently, when one or
their number murdered a young her
der. When news of the deed, reached
the camp, search was made for the
murderer. It was found that he had
been arrested and taken before a
magistrate. An emigrant. tersely
describes what followed: "We, the
WO emigrants quietly niarehed to the
Justice's. court and demanded the
prisoner. They refusedlo give him
up. 'We, the .500 emigrants, took
him, tried him, condemned him, and
hung him on the same tree he had
murdered his victim under. 'Fare
well, vain world' were his last words,
as the mule walked away and left
hint there. We, the 500 emigrants,
followed the mule."
—We find in The Boston afmmon

'The writer knows "an estimablvoili

—There was a queer row in Boston
the other day over a dead body; and
a bill in equity to get possession of a
corpse, is a novelty in legislation.
One Dr. Kelly died. His sister and
sole heir sent her son from New-York
to bring what was left of the doctor,
his property to this city, and his
bones to Greenwood Cemetery ; but,
meanwhile, the housekeeper of the
defunct physician had bestowed the
relics in Boiton. She claimed that
the estate of the_deceased would be
diminshed - 'by the great expense of
the removal, and that her chance of
being paid what the doctor owed her
would be proportionately lessened.
Moreover, to be buried in Nl,Lspa.
chusetts was the very last wish ex
pressed by th doctor with his dying
breath. `GriY., J., looking at the
matter from a legal not a sentimen
tal point of view, decided that the
remains were the personal property
of the nearest of kin, and that they
might entomb him where they
pleased.
On the Plalus—trat us Snowed in.
The Denver (Col.) Times says:
From a letter received by Mr.
Samuel Heller yesterday front our
fellow citizen Samuel Schneider. we
are enabled to lay before the readers
of the Times the following:
express train on the Kansas
Pacific which left Denver on Wednes
day last encountered a heavy suow
storm on Friday between Carson au
Fort Ellis. The storm continued to
increase in power, and the snow-drifts
accumulated so rapidly that by night
the train was completely snowed tn.
The storm increased to a hurrimme,
telegraph poles were blown down
and hurled across the track for miles,
the wires becoming entangled in the
machinery and the wheels-of the ears.
The-engineer and fireman were driv
en front their posts by the intense
cold, while hundreds of buffalo con
gregated around the cars seeking
shelter from the hurricane.
"The train left Carsotuat 5:30 on
Fridit,,v morning, but on arriving at
Monunient.„pne hundred miles east
ward, the telegraph announced the
awful news that Carsit-luid caught
fire, and was buridng-up in the-gate.
The town is built entirely of wood
and is piled full of goods in transit
for New Mexico. The wires were
blown down soon after this dispatch
was received, hence no news has
since been received from Carson.
"The western-bound express arri
ved in the snow-drifts on Sunday
morning and was unable to go far
ther. At Sunday noon the drifts
were higher than the tops of the cars.
All the train had been abandoned ex
cepting one Pullman car, one passen
ger coach, and the baggage car. By
hard pushing the train was able to
move a little on Sunday and reach a
little shanty on the plains, where
some food was obtained. We expect
to reach Saline on Sunday night.
We make 'about twenty tunes per
day by digging and pushing the
snow.

I deem it proper, before closing
this letter to state briefly the motives
that induced me to surrender a posi
tion Iso much honor, and so indic
ative
„r your confidence, which for
two years 1 have held by.the almost
unanimous voice of the department
through its representatiVes.
In our order there are thousands of
men who differ from me in politics,
litany Of whom have held, like nip'
self, public positions of 'well deserved
honor and trust, by election or ap
pointment. In April, 1570, the Pres
ident saw fit to appoint me pension_
agent at Philadelphia. My duty was
to pay the mothers, widows, (zithers
and children of,tny fallen commd&,
in this State, and to the best of my
abilities I have faithfully done this
work; for-I never saw an old mother
coming to me for her money that she
did not suggest a brave buy sleeping
on a southern battle-held, where he
died for principle. Every widow
and child called to/mind a manly
form stricken down for country by
hunger, the bullet, or disease. I
could do no iVrong to the living su
near to the presence of the dead.
Baying tried, in this my adopted
home, to make myself known as one
whose past record for principle could
not.,,be tarnished by any present love
for Lain, I disbursed to the hest oT
my L ,,.ability nearly four millions of
Government money since I came in
to office. During this time I was
mainly instrumental in changing the
payments to quarterly instead of
semi-annually, and in making the
Goxernment pay the fc from which
I derive my salary, and not the
poor .ork
-pensioners. This doubled my work
without increasing my pay. I gv,
since being In mike, tour hundred
thousand dollar's security in two
bonds.
My first bond was broken up by
the withdrawal of a prominent gen
tleman of this State, last January,
who "wished," as he said, "to limit
hisoblig,ations." While makingtny
second bond,. myfluids became ex
hausted; but to help the widows and
orphans and sustain my character as
an officer, I went on paying,, deter
mined to use my own, or borrowed
money, till the new bond was tilled,
and funds sent me. It defalca•
thins, by other officials, led to an ex T
arninatiou, of ,my accounts, and the
"irregularities" of running the two
accounts to.zether resulted in the
President asking for my resignation,
which I at once tendered.

however, damaged, my good name,

of the Grand Army, as I dOktiot,wish
anything that may be said against
me to damage our noble Order.

The Credit itiobilier -Deeindon.
We have the Legal Opinion, with
the deciSion of the Supreme Court; in
the appeal from the decision of the
Dauphin County Court, on a writ of
error. The opinion' read by Judge
,Read is more brief than that of dis
sent by Jtidge Agnew, and Is so want
ing in clearness as to be only a-tech
nical andeeemingly biased discussion
in the interest of the Credit, iSlobilier.
We have heretofore stated the facts
in the cast' in general terms. It seems
however,. that the ease was complim
ted, by means of a tripartite arrtmge
meat apparently gotten up for the
lees° of creating confusion. Oakes
mes, of Boston %as a large contrac
tor for the buildiff, of portions of the
union Pacific hail ad. For conve
nwnee anti credit, he and his ateoel
ates bought np the stock and charter
of the Credit Mobiller of America.
This corporation appointed trustees
to transact IN business, allowing
them a salary of $f3,000 a year, but
requiring all the dividends made to
be given to the stockholders. Thus
i tripartite agreement was made be
tween Oakes Ames, the trustees men
tioned, and ,the Credit Mobilier.
The stockholders of the Mobilier re
ceived dividends on their stock, from
the contracts assigned by one noxie
'and by (hiked Ames. On this ground
' suit was brought by one of the State
officials for tax on the dividends thus
declared. The precise manner in
which our judges, after having declar
ed the state entitled to these taxes,
now argue that it is not entitled, may
be seen by examining Judge Read's
opinion._fp
After referring to the litstory of
the alliance above described, Judge
Read quotes an agreement between
these parties, "That the trustees shall
adjust and pay over to the. Credit
Mobilier of America such portion of
- e-tut milts of the work done and
materia GI rnistied on *he first 100
miles west of thedoOth meridian, as
was done and perforzakli prior t o
January 1, 1 (17." lie - thentryss,_"lt
must therefore be said that, conforaf•w
ing to all .t he testimony in the case,
the credit. Mobilier had no interest
whatever in either of these contracts,
or in the profits of the wick, except
as above stated, and that it was an
entire mistake of the accounting de
-partment to tax as dividends net
profits , not belonging in any way,
manner, or shape, to that corpora
thin." In other words, in all the
subsequently executed contracts, the
Credit Mofiilier was not an intemsted
party. The parties of lb seem(' and
third part I the trustees and the !do
) exchanged releases and " all
connect bin 11.:1!; formally dissolved."
But it. seems that dividends were
made by the trusteec, as reeeipts were
"given..them for dividends declared
1 by them on the 12th of December,
1567; January ,td, 14;s; and June 17,
11141S,reeognize and adopt all the terms
...a of tho_enntmot
whereby " all the trusts in favor of
stockholders of the Credit gobiller
of America, and Assignees of Stoek-
holders thereof are hereby transfer
red and vested in the, following per
sons in the shares and proportions an
nexed to their respective names."—
The judge then says tinit the divi
dends deobtred t hest- trustees were
not dividend:: of the Credit Mollifier.
The final argument of Judge Reed is
th it t ( Evil lend,i were to individuals,
and while these individuals did rpm
vnt,e the Credit Nobilier, the divi
dends ‘‘ ere to them as individuals,
aud not to the Mobilier—henee they
were not liable to the State taxation.

p•r-ott , eottipol•ting it to their private
capacity, Judge .Igni , w wakes the
followin;,; liiiiin,wurahle statement:
What was th is tripartite contract,
in L.; true essence, between I tak e s
Ames, the tretstces ;:td the Crt‘dit
Mohilier? Antes, was the owner of
the construction contract for the 667
miles of railroad nest vf the hush
nn-riellan, and et hy the tripartite
agreement he divested himself of n!I
title and i lerest , owner, without
a re sery ethi, of an}' (ll — the profits or
the receipt of any consideration oth
er than the covenant of the trustees
to iie•rfortil the construction contract
and of the Credit 4obilier to guar
antee the performance. The trustees
were to riss.ive nothing but a,i , alary.
The whole risk and restionsiitility of
the contract and 01 broviding the
means for its exec idiot] therefore fell
upon the Credit Mobilier, - and yet it
wiis to re ieve but a fermi{
sat ion by way of a swat! porranii-sion
can loans, the inti.ll. , t being but the
ordinary eoinpen-ation f.ir the use of
the mote y. What then was to be
come of the profits? Profits were
expected apd weterealized to the ex
tent of iibunt a million a month.
These profits by the tripartite con
tract wore g,iven to none of its par
ties, but to persons not partics.,to
the stockholders of the Credit 3fo
bilier in the propel thm of the stock
in that institution. here then is a
cireuinstance of the most pregnant
character. The real responsible par
ty, which was to risk all and pay all,
received nothing hut a paltry coin
m ; whilethe earnings were to
be paid to persons who paid nothing
and risked nothing, excepting vo far
tot they were stockholders of the only
party that paid all and risked all.
The corporal ion furnished the sinews
of work and the shield of security to
both the other parties, and why
should not its stockholders reap the
benefits;*."lo the corporation it mat
tered not that the profits were paid
to its stockholder , directly by the
trustees and not by its own treasurer.
Thus the external mat the internal
evidence unite in imparting strength
to the conclusion that the right of
the stock holders to the profits secured
to them by the tripartite contract,
came to them through the instru
mentality of the Credit Mobilier as
the meritorious party to that con
tract."
The disposition of the profits was
the precise point at issue. .ludge
Read argued that the instructions
given the jury were erroneous, and
that the jury should have been differ
ently i tistructei I. Judge Agnew
very properly dissents, arguing that
the jury was to j udge (if the credibili
ty of witnesses; that any other course
would be subversive of the jury sys
tem. But to show that they were
properly Instructed he quotes the
charge:
"We instruct you that if the Credit
Mobilier reff-ived the whole of this
money arising from the profits of
constructing the Union Pacific rail
road as a corixpation, and divided it
among its stockholders as such, it, is
taxable. If it was received by the
trustees , , to be divided among the
stockholders as indiriduals, it is not
taxable, and on that point this ease
turns. Using the names of the trus
tees in making the dividends is un-
;
Ina pt, i rovic d the money be.

These int4niethans Ton t 13trength
ened la:response to 43' request from
the eonnseVof the plaintiff in the
origgad,'Lbat.the judge Instruct the,
jury to find - the same 'whether the

IFIORTING A RAILROAD.
A Curious • Cru
rants'
in 1848 a charter -: granted to
certain persons In Pike county Penn:,
authorizing them to construct a rail
road from Matamoros to Milford,
Penn., a distance of eight miles, con
necting with 'the New York and
Erie Raliroad at Tort Jervis. For
some reason nothing Was ever done
in the tuatterond ite.the Winter of
1870 a new charteVibtained from
the Pennsylvania islaturefor the
same purpoa‘. A- patty ,- under
of the: Milford and Mato
moms Railroad company was form
ed, and ,the contract awarded for
building the road. The new charter
also appropriated to the road, fOr 99
years, the $lO,OOO annual bonus paid
by the Erie Railway, Company to
the State of Pennsylvania tor right
of way through that State. The
Company under the old charter,
however, succeeded in ,stopping all
proceedings under the new charter,
and the enterprise again came to a
stand still.
All difficulties in the way were
finally removed, and on the first of
October last, work was begun on the
road, the contract being awarded to
Col. J. 11. Moorhead, of New York.
But some of the landholders along
the route were opposed to the road,
and a few days since a force of about
50 laborers, together with Col. Moor
head and J. IL ,lliminick, Presi
dent of the Company, were arrested
for trespass at the suit of Wm. Brod
head, upon whose lands they were
working. Bonds were given for
damages, and the work proceeded.
On the land Of R. C. Bull the_ work
met with more serious protest. The /
proprietor of the land, in company
C. W. Bull, his attorney, proceeded'
to where the men Were working,
and while the former drove a team
of-oxen in front of the laborers across
the line, - the, latter took his position
in advance ora-tearn that was break
ing ground, and wlien it . mine up to
where he was standing, the—lawyer
seized the horses by, the heaff, -- and
pushed the driver away. At once
an af f ray ensued, and the sheriff of
the county was summoned upon
charges preferred by the driver of
the team. R. C. Butt was arrested
for assault and battery. He wave
bail to appear for trial, and caused
the arre s t of eight of the labOrers, on
a charge of riot, and the President of
the road and the contractor for in
citing to riot. They were taken to
MU ford, and gave bail in $10,4)00 to
appear for a hearing next day, which
was postponed. The day after the
arrest the work was resumed,. when
the laborers were rearrested, gave
bonds and continued working.

and the work was completed on
Bull's land without further molesta

and contractor and the laborers were
arrested ran the land of Soveryne

and proceeded with the work, when
an unexcouted writ obtained by Bull

Corrup:ion iu the Jury BO.T.
,\ ease occurred In Philadelphia
last 'week - whieli contributed largely
to establi-li the fact that a frightful
muse of corruption t•xistii in the jury
system. It has long been known,
and occasionally hO:fst - ed of, that men
are put on juries, to do understood
things, to convict or discharge par
ties, am! to render verdicts hi the
Motley interests of impacts who are
able and willing to pay for sued ser
vice, We admit it has long beep
known that r. e I is the condition or
the jury box in most of our large
where tin' professional jury
man, Wittits and "straw bait" Mall
are re, twolized adjuncts to the course
of corruption, kl hose favoi's are sold
as publicly in the shadow of temples
of justice, us arc the caresses et the
kiyhipie (le pure. But it is nut possi
ble that courts are fully aware of this
condition of affairs. The case in
Philadelphia is that of a party who
asks to have a re-hearing be,fore the
grand jury on the ground that she
can prove that at least one member
of a former grand jury was bribed to
secure the ignoring of a bill belore It.
This case added to the (Ilse which
lately took' place in Lancaster coun
ty, where a hill was ignored. the
facts of which were sworn to by
three of the must respectable and re
liable men in that ftuuty, shows a
condition of affairs, welt calculated
to arouse the apprehensions and so
licitude of all good citizens. Corrup
tion atAthe ballot box, in legislative
halls, in public treasuries and at last
in the jury box, is of course logical
and irresisted as long as the people
close their eyes and ears to facts and
circumstances which they lhotild
control and dispose of. Whither are

The Nathan tioliee, New` 'feet.
TheNathanliensi;in New Ye*,
has afforded a frequent theme for,
Irai l i i s l9, anctinTAYN intereatiug
Mites eilinceruliqe.. it, a Ye bid Put
into cir culation . It has been said
that t house eras sold at a-reduced
price because of the hormeotMeeted
with the tragedy which occurred'
within its walls. AnotheeatiVement
infornis the public that it has - been
rented by a noted gamester for a faro
bank, While it is said on the other
hand that such is thutainteontiected
with it that np tenant. will take it at
any 'price. The stories are all equal
ly false. The facts are there : The
,family abandoned the house imme
diately after the dreadful affair which
has given them such painful publici
ty. They did net, however, remove
the furniture, which still remains in
its former - condition, and a trusty
servant with his fatally has charge
of the establishment. The house has
never been in the market, either -, for
purelittSeer tenant, and will not in
all probability be offered very soon.
The family has hired a stylish house
On Fiftiteeepue for which they pay
shout 00,1100 per annum, this rent
including thatof furniture. The Na
than mansion has been correctly de
scribed as being of elegant finish, and I
was built under the inspection of its
late owner. He took great .cielight
in this Mansion, and having made
his property by assiduous attention
to business, be was the better prepar
ed to enjoy it. He frequently men
„timed to an acquaintance of mine
:that he could get two hundred and
twenty-five thonSand dollars for the
property. This price is now out of
the question, but it would readily
bring otie hundred and seventy-five
thoumnd dollars. Mr. Nathan's es
tate has been rated from five hun
dred, thousand dollars to one million
dollars, but its precise amount is only
known to the little circle of; heirs.
The mystery of the murder remains
as impenetrable as ever, hut I 'have
been told by a person who lives near
by, that many, if not most of the
neighbors discard the sneak thief
theory.--Letter to the Troy
A Prison Itonsunee.
The Chicago Evening , Po;t. says:
Every prison has its romance, and
that of the Penitentiary at Kingston,
Canada, is worth recounting. In
1842, near Toronto; the serving man
of iteaptain Kinnear murdered his
master to obtain a stun of money
which was in the house. After kill
mg him the wretch slew the house
keeper. He was arrested, and at his
trial implicated a girl of fifteen,
named Grace Marks, who was living
in the house, as an accomplice, alleg
ing that she knew of the murder of
the master before that of the 'kfouse
keeper took place. Her story,, was
that he threatened her with death if
she gave the alarm; but as she had
been on intimate terms with the
murderer it was discredited. He
was hanged and she wits sentenced
to the / Penitentiary for life.
Almost thirty years have elapsed,
and she is Still a prisoner, no more a
blooming girl, but ,an old woman,
sad, silent, prematurely gray.
From time. to time some newspaper
corrpondeilt; visiting the institu
tion,:hears and publishes her story.
There is talk of a petition for herre
lease; people sAy ids passing strirlige
'tis pitiful, 'tis wondrous pitiful, and
then the matter dies away. Even if
this woman were guilty, a lifetime
of imprisonment might I .)e held to
have condoned her crime, and she
•might be set free yto die. There
would be little for her to do in this
later world. NV !tore she lived and
the cry of murder went up are now

The name "Penmlyistimin.•'
The origin of name of the State
of.Perinsylvaia will be found in a lei
ter of William Penn, its founder, da
ted January 5, 1681, from which the
following is an extract:
"This day, after many watches
wattings atai disputes in council iny

under the great seal of England, with
large powers and privileges, by the
au me of Pennsylvania—a name the
kit.g would give it in boner of Illy

"I ehnse New Wales, being a hilly
country; and when the secretary, a
'Welshman, refn-ed to mil it Nev
Wales, I propost d Sylvania, and they
added Penn to it, and went to the
king to have it -truek nut. Ile said
it WWI past, and 1w would not take it
upon him; ter 1 feared it might he
looked upon as a vanity in me, and
not as a respect in the king to my
father, as it really was."
—The "Itettiocratic" party is in the
position of a man apparently drown
ed, with a crowd about him, each
member of which suggests some
thing perfectly sure to bring him to
life again—rubbing. brandy-and-wa
ter-hot, gin-and-water-eold, standing

barrel, &c., &e. A country newstm

somebody, it does not seem to
matter who he may be, if only he
has a name to conjure with. As the

accept the "Democratic" platform, if
there were any, it set-ms generally
thought wisest not to have any for
him to adopt, if so i there will be at the

game of "going it blind" ever wit
