Mr. Brigham's retire ment carries him nil the way-to Fiti'r- Ida. • THE inangtiration ceremonies at Harrisburglast week, were witnessed by a large crowd of people, the &eat bulk of whom, however, mune from Philadelphia. The new Governor's inaugural address will Iss? found on one of the outside pages of the A E.c;us of this week. We advise our readers to give this document a careful read ing. Whether the new Governor will give us an administration wor thy of the majority he received last fall remains to be seen. THE Credit Mobilier investigation is still progressing at Washington. Thus far it has enveloped quite a number of.our prominent Congress men. Those most deeply implicated up to the present.tiwe are Brooks of New York, Boyer, Scofield and Kel ley of this State, Garfield and Bing ham of Ohio, Colfax of Indiana and Dawes of Massachusetts. The pres ent position of these men does not accord with their fierce denials of guilt a short time ago. To where are we drifting! Honesty on the part of our public servants seems to Ire growing obsolete. HoN. SIMON CAMERON was on Tuesday of last week re-elected to the United States Senate. Hon. W. A. Wallace was his principal competi tor, the latter receiving 45 votes and General Cameron, 72. Col. A. K. McClure voted for T.M.MarshalLesq. This makes the fourth time General Cameron has been elected Senator for Pennsylvania. The first victory gained by him for Senatorial honors was over George W. Woodwani. The second time he defeated Col. For ney; the third' time he came In ahead of Mr. Buckalew, and the fourth time he leaves Mr. Wallace in the rear. Money Is said to have "put him through" on the three former occasions, but merit, we will sup pose, did it for him on Tuesday of last weekb IF we cannot say that "Homo," alias Samuel Mason of Cato n Is par ticularly truthful,we can n evertheless pay him the compliment 01 being exceedingly brave. He butts up against figures and written testimony with about as much heroism and dis erp_tum as_lindat INeadar arb fuvtli.dsc..: and gave us a pocket knife worth perhaps 50 cents more, in March 1872, but the receipt we gave him at that Limb for the money, and the figures printed on the tab of his paper ever since, ought to satisfy even him that that payment was set ,opposite . to his orrearage . account. For if we must say; it, we sup pose we 'mist, that Mr. Mason was not an adrance paying sub scriber. On the contrary, he was about as slow in that particu lar as molasses in January, or about cs difacult to bring to time as it is to get "Prof," Curtis, to write a "puff" for a characterless friend, or some one who has a few dollars worth of pat ronage to give in return. Mr. Mason! -send th`iducats this way. We are anxious to discontinue your paper, but really we can't afford to doso un til ttha little william is satisfactorily settled. Os Friday, January 17, the local elections were held in Bradford coun ty, and the result, on the prohibition question, is between four and five thousand majority against the grant ing of license within the next three years. It seems, front the elections already held in the state on that question, that there will hardly be a county within its limits which will vote in favor of whisky_ In that event the politicians will have a "hard row to hoe." It is alleged, and with the semblance of truth too, theta lot of wire-workers in Penn sylvania made a "trade" last sum mer with the Liquor League, where by it was stipulated that if the League would cast ?ts vote in a certain way, they, (the politicians referred to), would see that the Local Option law should be repealed the present win ter. The vote was cast in accord ance with the contract, and the League are now clamoring for the fulfillment of its second condition. The politicians would like to carry out the bargain in good faith, but then they hear the thunder of the peo ple against repeal, and hardly know which way to turn or what to dO. Under these circumstances we pre sume the most of them will work for the League with all their might, but will finally vote against it. To all of whom we would say: "Gentlemeu l look out, you are watched prettz, closely on this question." THE Pittsburgh Mall has been able to stomach almost everything attempted by men who claimed to be Republicans. That it is getting tired of the nauseous doses of the party leaders will be seen from the follow ing extract 'clipped from one of its editorials last week: The recent de velopments touching the election of Senators by the Leiialatures of the several States are well calculated to excite disgust, and to arouse the peo ple to a proper sense of their impor tance in this matter. The people annually nr biennially return, as they think, honorable men to the Legit 'attire; have placed their faith in _the integrity of their represenbitivekand have been cofitent with their choice of Senators to the Natiorud Congress. But the etas of men who oflate have managed to buy their way into the Senate seems to Wive impressed the people with the fact that neither the hom nor the -capacity ef—ii- ; dates are taken into consideration - 1 g their selection, but rather the lend of theilpurses and their wiltilignees to ay Compare th 3 tkilkhrells, the ttersons and the Boas of tia-day with the Clays, the Calh o u n and the Benton! of a few years ago, and the public may see how rapidly we tire kiegaperatlygl _lt i4pOt jtuitti our public men are degenerating In (Mel lect.intt that the elective -power is growing fearfully corrupt; it isnot that eitoble, honest men do not offer thmiaves,.but. that they are Unwil ling to sacrifice their integrity to the whims of the lobby and speculating legislators.

EDITOR IMII=1Z:Z:11 ONE after another of our politica , idols are being broken. Theft Is no public man in the whole counti7 in whose honesty and truthfulness we had more confidence than In Schuyler Colfax. Yet look at this. In a speech delivered by him last September lie declared; "Neither Oakes Ames nor "any other person ever gave or offer "ed to me one share or twenty shares "or two thousand shares, in Mobilier "or any other railrZad stock, and un "fortunately I have never r.Teived "the value of a farthing out of the "270 per cent dividends, nor the 800 "per cent dividends in cash, stock, "nnd bonds you have read about ev ery day for the past month, nor one "hundred per cent, nor one tenth of "one per cent." In his examination before the Committee, he testified that after agreeing to buy 20 shares, and paying $5OO on account, he broke vff the bargain and allowed Mr. Ames to keep the $5OO because he had been unfortunate in business. He added, "I never received a dollar in bonds, "stock, or money as dividends," and furthermore declared that he wasout of pocket $.500 by the operation, and that "Ames never paid him the val ue of a dollar on any account what "ever." Mr. Ames did not ware diet this testimony at the time, but be now swears that Mr. Colfax bought the 20 shares in full, and is still the owner of them; that they were paid for in part by 80 per cent dividends due soon after the date of the trans- action, and the rest by Mr. Colnix's check for . 034 72; and that Mr. Col fax did receive one dividend of SI,NO, paid by a check to "S. C. "or bearer," on the Sergeant-at-A:lngot the House of Representatives. This officer con firms the statment as to the check. If the country goes on at this rate much longer, in whom can we trust, and where will we land? Dunti-to the summer and fall there was no little murmuring in Inde pendence and adjoining townships relative to the want of judgment on the part of our Commissioners in the building of a bridge across Raccoon, near Boktown. As the whole neigh borhood supposed would be the case. the bridge stood but a short time after Its completion, for a few weeks ago An ice gorge came along, the brldgir was taken away, and left in a field hard by. It was an iron struc ture. anti the,tnatasta&ArthiriteSSlOr any purpose. The location being in Mr. Torrere:e'sdivision, he, of course, comes in for the lion's share of the blame. A notice of the loss of this bridge and a temperate reflection on the commissioners for a lack Wore sight in its construction was sent us for publication by a wominent and' respectable Citizen of that locality. We pvezhis communication room in the Attcrys as we were in duty bound to do, but it seems now that the' commissioners took great umbrage at us for allowing an humble coun tryman to speak his mind through our paper, for we heard very quick ly afterwards that "the Atm us should not print the receipts and expendi tures this year." Taking into ac count the fact that it is the duty of the Commissioners to lay this statis tical exhibit before as many of the tax payers as possible, and the other fact, that the Anous has a larger circulation in the county than any other paper published in it, the length to which they are pushing their anger will be reacilly seen, We are not, however, feeling wretched over their determination. We will publish the receipts and expenditures nevertheless, and at our own private cost. We do not know too, but this leaves us just where we desire to stand. - If we receive neither justice courtesies nor favors from the Com missioners, they Can of course, not charge us with ingratitude after wards, when we speak of other bridges, appointments and expendi tures that demand an airing. Nor can they reasonably expect us to en -ter an energetic protest to the gen- Feral belief and ofkrepeated expres sion that "the county has now, In point of mental capacity, the weak est board of Commissioners it ever had." In our criticisms, however, we shall endeavor to be just and gentle manly, but sufficiently pointed to protect the tax payers and at the same time expose the incompetents who are lounging in the CoMmission er's office and with matchless igno mice disbursing the public money. Ous former contemporary Col. Quay, has been made Secretary of the Commonwealth. We have not for a number of years past admired Col. Quay's politicai•_course, but we feel disposed to give him a fair trial now in his new position. His ap pointment is not generally regarded by the people as a hopeful sign of a successful State administration, nevertheless it may be that his future mine may agreably surprise even those who have serious misgivings at the present time, If so, we will not be among the last to award him all the credit he deserves.

The trunks were nearly packed; the carriage was at, the door, everything, in short was ready for the guilty Hight, when. in the most provoking manner, the injured wife made her appearance. But the wicked hus band was equal to the emergency. He unblushingly avowed his purpose of flying with Miss Norris, and, in order to make things pleasant, locked his wife up until) he had finished packing, when the guilty couple drove away to the station, and thence vanished into infinite space, with a good deal of borrowed money. The last-mentioned fact has stimulated pursuit, and there is some hope that Train may be caught and served as he served his unfortunate wife. Buck is the story as we find it, and an odd one 4 is. We have heard of locking up to prevent an elopement, but nev er before of a locking up to promote one. The government appears to have been unfortunate in its sale of the fa mous arsenal and grounds at Har per's Ferry. The purchasers are en deavoring to ,4 + secure the passage of an act relieving them from the pay ment of the balsnce due. According to an advance report ullade by the House Military Committee, it ap pears that the arsenal and adjoining grounds with dams across the Poto mac and Shenandoah rivers were sold in December 1869, for the aggregate sum of P. 27,803 60. The sales were made entirely on credit, and only $5,686 have been paid by the purchas eta. Profits are derived by those holding a portion of this property,on which they have not paid any por tion of the purchase money. On one tract there were large deposits of iron ore, which is now being dug and sold by those a4king postponement of the payment of the purchase money. So also with the purchasers of the ferry and of lots with buildings on them. The committee say the purchasers have three years In which to Im prove or make sales. They have done neither, nor even paid for that por tion of thbproperty from whence prof its are derived. The Committee rec ommend that they be not relieved and that the purchase money be promptly collected. NI-Ambrose E.

After some feeling remarks, Judge Sterrett pronounced the dield&l sentence, which was that the accused should beat such time as the Cilovernor = appoint.

A correspondent wishes to know the meaning of the word " Credit Mobilier ". (Several Con gressmen have asked the same. gum tion.) We presume he wishes to be informedeoneerning thepriglnal den. vation and use of the term. We will endeavor to explain it. The "Credit Foneler" has long been tho general title in 'Franco for association& that advance money on landed or immov able securities. The "Credit Mobili er" was the name given ton powerful corporation, organized in France in 18.52, for advancing on movable prop ! erty. The name was adopted evi dently with thepurposeojetrardinir Credit Mobilier,"beeame a great; and profitable enterprise. It had special privileges under its charter. It as sisted materially in the construction of railways and the promotion of mining,schemes. Atnotig-other en-. terprises in Whichlt was notably in terested were the Government loan on account of the Russian war. the Grand Central Railway Company, and the General Omnibus Company of purls* At onetime, it advanced 250,000,000 frances, and at another time, 37:5,000,000 frances,to the French Government. Its business was so great in 1855 that it declared a divi dend of 40 per cent. on its capital.— While it was manifestly the meansof doing much good in France, it even tually failed. The introduction of the term" Cre dit Foncier" and "Credit Mobilier" into America are due to Mr. George Francis Train. He established a "Credit Foneier" with Omaha lands, which be hawked about the country some years ago. ,He gave the name of "Credit Mobiller of America" to a corporation of universal privileges, which was organized in Pensylvania. It was appropriated by Messrs. Oaks Ames, Duraut & Co., to serve as the third part in the famous "triplicate agreement," by which the managers of the Union Pacific Retinal let oat the contract for building the road to themselves, in payment for which they modestly took the road itself, all the United! Statesbonds, all the first mortgage bonds, all the United States lands, etc., at a profit of over 1,000 per cent., on an entirely ficti cious capital. This Is what "Credit Mobilier" means, in the modern Amercan and Congressional use of the word. The transaction was lit erally a Credit on Movables,—the United States Government furnish ink the credit and the money, and Messrs. Oakes Ames & Co. taking the movables,—that is, the securities and the profits.—Chicago Tribune. THE CANE OF FAN, She Forfeits Her Pea • ‘., The case of Fanny Hyde, indicted for the murder of George W. Wat son, in Williamsburg. N. Y., one year ago, was called on Monday in the Court of Qyer and Terminer, Brooklyn. The accused failed to an swer and the District Attorney moved to have her recognizance forfeited. Mr_ Morris, of counsel for the defence, made application for a postpqne ment of the trial, based on affidavits setting forth the absence of important witnesses. The principal affidavit wasmade by Mr. Morris himself and was chiefly a personal attack on Dis trict Attorney Britton charging him with having acted in bad faith, giv ing to understand that the prosecu tion would be abandoned, and then calling the case up for trial on short notice, together with all other crimi nal causes In which the opponent was Interested as counsel. Mr Brit ton declined making any reply, sim ply denying generally the facts stated with regard to himself. The application was denied, and the Court .made an order forfeiting Mrs. Hyde's bail, Judge Gilbert re marking that the fact that Counselor Morris had become indemnitor for her sureties might possibly be an element in his motion for opposing the lorfeiture so strenuously. Fan ny Hyde was tried in April last, when the jury failed to agree, one only holding out for conviction as charged in the indictment, two for manslaughter in the third degrCe and the rest for absolute acquittal. Th accused was then released on ball e In the sum ofs2, 500. She is said to be at present in Washington.. Divert..
