The Beaver Argus. J. trETAIrD segiver, Pa.. February. 3 1873. FOR a graphic acotituat of the ter rible storm in Minnesota read the article in this week's Annus headed "D and expenditure question, since our last issue, and have accordingly or dered the publication of their annual statement in the Anus. TES• seem to be poking fun at our Senator al Harrisburg. On last Thursday he called up his resolution instructing our Senators and mem bers of Congress to vote against Gen eral Grant's telegraphic policy. He read a written argument in favor of his resolution. After he had conclu ded, one of the Senators inquired if lie had'nt hist, finished reading the Cincinnati platform. THE reader's attention is directed to an extract in our local columns heated "what the Legislators make." The article is "stolen" from the Philadelphia Press, and will be found "mighty interesting residing," by those who have not yet fully made up their minds to be robbed, and per nut the robbers to pass along unno ticed. Will the Radical please copy the article referred to? To the little schemers , and their unconscious helpers in and about Bea ver,in the matter of the public print ing,we have only to say that the AR GUS has occupied some space in this wunty heretofore, and that it in tends in the future to make use o just as much room as it needs. Ii• will ask for nothing but what is right, and before submitting to any thing wrong, it will see that things become lively all along the line. THE well-wishers of the country everywhere will be pained to hear that the exhibit of our national ii nanoas for the month of January shows an increase in the public debt of €406,243. There was also an increase of the debt for December of several hundred thousand dollars. Will our rulers always be blind to the fact that there are too many rogues in of fice and too many pensioners on the public treasury ? TUE number of faithful represen tatives in Congress is much greater than is generally imagined. A Washington Correspondent assures his readers that the territorial dele gates are free from the reproach or even the suspicion of having partici pated in the corrupt transactions of which so much Is said just now. Where all other Props shake these stand firm. The correspondent adds that the Rotnan virtue of the dele gates is due to the fact; that they have no votes, but this is evidently a calumny. ..... • A gentleman at Waideington wrote us on last - Friday: Even the or PO:CENTS- of the telegraph bill, reported by the Senate Post Oft3ce Committee are getting alarmed , and are using every means to defeat the bill. Mr. Orton, of the Western Union, has Lip hirelings on the ground at work among Congressmen. So far, as lobbyists, they are not a success. The numerous letter. received from their constituents, endors ing the present movement to insure the peo;ile cheap telegraphy, is having a wholesome influence upon the Senate and I lo use of Representatives. Of course Mr. Rutan is not in the employ of Mr. Orton. The "snake's" head will soon appear, or we miss our guess. WE feel interested in knowing who has charge of the cloak room of the House at Harrisburg. A resolution was adopted by the popular branch of the Assembly on last Wednesday prohibiting the keeping of liquor in that room. Mr. Mahon of Frank lin cuunty in urging the passage of the resolution stated that the page boys had got hold of the whisky kept there, and a number of then . ' became intoxicated. Of course the whisky referred to was the property of some of the:tnembeN of the House, and was put in the cloak room for their convenience. It would per haps require a little nerve, but it would nevertheless be right, if that cloak room keeper would now come to the front and give us the names of the Representatives who are so addicted to drinking as to be obliged to wet "their whistles" every few minutes. We would like to know who they are, and we doubt not their constituents would t also be profited by the information. To what we said last week touch fag the publication of the receipts and expenditures of this county, a few words in addition seem Decease ry now. Ever since the third and fourth newspapers were established- In our county, the editor of the AR GUS has advised the county officers to divide their official advertising among the whole of them. and as nearly equal as possible. Of course our plan did not contemplate addi tional cost to the public, hutz simply an equal division tonogit the four, of the amount paid the two newspapers when that number only were printed in the county. The profits on the ad vertising would not, be so alluring it is true, but the super-abundance of - newspapers in the county we looked upon as our misfortune. and not the public's fault. That this has uni formly been our advice, is well known to all of our brethern of the press, and to all of the recent ex-offi cers of the county. fly the arrange ment suggested we knew theta larger number of persons would become fa milar with the local business of the county, and its fairness would be a complete answer to any complaint by either of the papers against the officer causing the pdblication to ,be made. Besides this, the official ad vertising is paid for by the whole people, and no particular PARTY can lay a just claim to its benefits. PARTY printing is a very different thing- Political managers have a right, we pmume, to take their patronage, where, as Oakes Ames would say, "it will do the most good," and as it is not public money that pays for printing of this character, neither the people nor the newspapers have any muse to complain of their acts. o.lfi. la'aladvertising, we repeat then, be longs to all of the papers of the coon. ty. and not to those only whose con. doctors must have a lion's share of the official,pap in order to keep their papers on their feet. A FEW weeks ago we detected and helped to prevent Mr. Stnititiartis , from taking out of the county treasury, some forty or fifty dollars more than custom entitled him to for publishing the November procla mation of the Sheriff. As a result- 01 that attempt - to fleece the public, we have become suspicious that his charges for work done for the county in the future, will bear looking after. We shall therefore insist upon the commissioners keeping all printing accounts separate fur the present year, so that the next publi cation of the receipts and expendi tures will show the exact work done and the specific stram( paid to each newspaper published in the county. As a taxpayer ourself, and in behalf of the tax-payers of the county, we ask that this he done. If Mr. Curtis could not make a living at either preaching or teaching, we are deter mined if he supports himself in the printing business he shall dolt in a legitimate way,and not as a pension er on the county treasury. &rates have receipts A reo:q !NEST member of the Con stitutional Convention stated in that body, early last week, that it cost only tt.50,000 to get the Pennsylvania Legislature to charter the Credit Islobilier Company, after the New York Legislature had refused $300,- 000, add Abe r . New Jersey Legis lature 5150,000 for the same Job. This is proof positive that our Legislatures are composed of cheaper men than are found in the Legislatures of either of the other two States referred to. What a reproach to our native State, and what a good thing some of our ex-Assemblymen missed through not knowing that they could have had much more cash for the work they performed for so insig nificant a sum. Gentlemen, you taus see the necessity of putting a higher figure on your votes. But seriously: The member of the Con vention who made the above state ment asked for an investigating committee to inquire into the facts, and tve can judge of no good reason why such a committee should not be appointed. It seems to be generally understood that $.50,000 were distrib uted among the members of the Legislature to get Itiobilier through. now let us know who fingered and fobbed the money. WE are afraid that the Local Op tion law is about to be made practi cally inefficient by the Legislature. On last Friday Mr. Rutan, in -the State Senate, offered a bill legalizing elections already held under the Lo cal Option law. An amendment was immediately tacked to his bill which provides in effect that the cities and counties shall vote separately. lithe cities vote "for license," then licenses may be issued in the cities, without regard to the vote in the outside dis tricts of the county. This amend ment (offered by senator Fitch) is in these words: "And the votes for and against license in any city shall be counted (and certified to the court or board of license annul ission ers as the ease may be) separate from the vote of the townships and boroughs In any conn ty,wherein said city may be located; and if a majority vote of such a city is "against license," then no license shall bezranted. for sno b city, our if a majority vote of such city is "for license," then licenses may he granted for such city." The amended bill went through the Senate and from indications already at hand, we judge it will pass the House also. We may he mistaken, but it looks to us now as if the Lag's lature intended to give the heavy whisky dealers in the State (for these of course are in the cities, a monopo ly of the entire traffic. It is tolera bly plain to every one now that the country districts will go almost solid for no license, and if these were left to vote with the cities, liquor in a great many instances, would be swept out of both. The whisky men realize this and now insist upon di vowing the temperance element from Its opponent s hoping thereby, if they t-an not occupy the whole e( an - monwealth to at least make liquor dens of all of its pities. If the city Ihjuor dealers are promised a mo nopoly like this, they will spend a mint of money to carry the elections. TIT r I,aneacter Erpre4s is not only a vigilant, able, newspaper, hut is looked upon by friend and foe a honest inits utterances. During the last campaign it opposed Hartranft and Allen, but supported General Grant for the Presidency. It is the home organ of ex .Senator Billingfelt, and as that gentleman has heretofore ►tool as a break-water between the State Treasury Ring and the peo ple's money, the Erpresze words just now possess unusual significance. From a long ed torts! in its issue of the 2.lth, on Governor Hartranft and his cabinet, we clip the closing para graphs: True. Gov. Hartrantt in his inaugural insiNts upon maintaining the inviolabili ty of the Sinking fund. He could do nothing less. That was a promineut plank in the party platfortmulthout which he could never have been nominated or elected. The men who contemplate the robbery of the Sinking-Fund of its nine million securities, n•ould not dare demand that he -diould openly or officially ap prove their scheme. Such a course would destroy the party and then the oc cupation of these political Othellos would be gone, This is not the, way the thing is to be done. The plan, Which is rapid ly maturing., is to secure' two-thirds of the Lewislature to vote for the nine mil lion steal, before the bill is started. Then it is to be passed by a majority, in the venal way, and sent to the Governor, who will veto it, and thereby secure the ap- PhtuNe .of the Public who are not In the secret. The bill will then be passed over hi s veto by a constitutional majority, anti all the odium of the measure thrown up on the Legislature: but as all who vote for be handsomely v ecomp „ Rd, they can ' afford" to remain in political obscurity - the remainder of their lives! Thisie the pi °gramme as It now at:indican t ] the truth of what we now ay will jun as surely be demonstrated as has been our prediction in regard to the appointment of Quay or some equally subservient tool of the Treasury filing as the third mem ber of the Board of Commissioners of the Sinking Fund. But Gov. Ilartranft's responsibilities to the people will not cease simply with his veto of such a gigantic scheme to , violate the fundamental kw and outrage the tax payers of the State. The Chief Execu tive is responsible to the people-for the exercise of his influence no tees than for the usenf his veto. lie is supposed to have a powerful influence over a large number of the Senators and Members. If he is really in earnest in his professions of maintaining the Sinking Fixnd invio late, he can prevent the consummagon of the scheme , we have outlined. If he does this we shall be the first to give him all the credit be alail have earned by the heroic. act. It the Nine Million Steal is not consummated this 'Outer, it- is not pro on bable it ever can ba, as the Costnu 'clal Convention now sittin wil e no di:adatbrroi snob safeguards around the Sinking Field as shall forever render such a scheme impossible. But the prospect of this will only make the raiders the more d es perate in their efforts to secure EIE the plunder belbre the opportunity to do so has forever pined from them. 'fever there was a tune when the eyes of the people should be intently fixed upon their representatives at Hartisburg, that time is now. We speak no idle -words. We know whereof we affirm; and in uttering this timely word of warning we wash our bands of the responsibility of what mad come. -A...v.- --- MU, AND TUEIME., —Minnesota papers give many ter rible incidents connected with the late storms. One party, engaged in clearing the railroad track, eight miles below St. Peter, discovered, nearly burled in the snow, a double team of horses and a sleigh, in which were seated two men, wrapped in robes and Inclosed in buffalo over wets, and frozen stiff. The men sat perfectly upright, and were within 'NO yards of thestatlon building. —The death of a miserly old wo man is ,recorded by the Cincinnati newspapers. Her name was Eliza beth Bieve,but she usually was called "Matches Mary," as she peddled those articles, and did so to some purpose, We:much aashe left real es tate valued at $6,000, and a little sum In cash. She was irregular and in temperate in her ways of life, and her only son and heir is now a prisoner in the House of Refuge. —The editor of the Noble county Republican has been treasuring up these many years, as a precious relic, an old shell from one of the battle fields on the Rappahannock, On one of the recent cold days a roaring fire was kept up in the office stove, and the shell was put on top of a re fractory lid to keep it to its place. It of course became heated, and an ex plosion occurred, casting dire conster nation among the employees, but fortunately no one was hurt. They are not likely to use shells for that purpose again. —.lustice.has at last overtaken one of those wicked persons who have so long defied the law with impunity— not in this country, we are sorry to say, but in England, where an um brella thief has been sent to the pen itentiary for fourteen days. He car ried off the sacred implement from the waiting room of a railway sta tion, and when asked by the Judge what he hid to say for himself, he declared that he left the station with the umbrella "in a fit of abstraction." This was evident enough, but the court sent him up all the same. —At Richmond, Ind., is an ex clergyman named the Rev. John Reisteiner. Not having the care of souls upon his mind, and probably finding his time hang heavy on his hands, he bethought himself of the amusemont of flogging his wife. He had only been married four months. He was, so to speak, in the full flush of the honeymoon. But the nuptial joys began to pall a little; he needed excitement and occupation, and he proceeded to obtain both in the manner aforesaid. The unreas sociable law interfered with him, and he amotined $l6O. When he exercises himself in that way again, we trust the Court will make it coat him at least $16,000, if not $160,000. —Mr. Oalan E. Dodgeslite:vol* Ist and more recently a citizen of,St. Paul. Minn., has obtained a divorce from Aire. Dodge. In a lawsuit about the custody of ahlkbpaa he makes this solemn statement on oath: "Ever since he was married she kept a six-bk , reled loaded revol ver in her possessien, with which she has a great many times threatened to blow my brains, nut and to shoot rue." lie further deposed that Mrs. Fanny was in the habit of beating the son whose custody she now de ,ires over the head "with a bathing- brush 20 inches long, and soseverely as to break the handle of the brush." \Vim this weapon was not at hand. the affectionate mother used the tongs. No wonder poor Dodge want ed a divorce ! —ln speaking of the abolition of the " Franking Privilege, " the Springfield Republican says: "It has time and again been attacked, Horare Oreeley dealing it many a lusty blow in his paper and his brief Congressiona l term." For ninety-one years the expensive ab surdity has been continued, and it would he a curious thing to know just how much it has cost the people; how long it postponed the reduction of postage rates; how many abuses it has been answerable for, and to what extent it has been answerable for the chronic insolvency of the Post Office Department. However, let us not be too inquisitive! Rather let us re joice at the evidence that public abu ses are not incorrigible! There are two or three others which we may be rid of in a century or so! —A Connecticut paper is responsi ble for the following: A loving con pie started for Litchfield and loving bliss. Arrived at Darien the bride groom's heart misgave him, and he declined to come farther. In vain the loving fair one sought to reani mate his drooping courage; but it was no go; he doubted his ability to support a family: and so the horse was turned around, and the pair started :back again for their respec tive homes. As the distanee length ened between them and the once dreaded consummation of hymen's rites, the spectral groom's courage rose, and he at last said: "Dog gone It, let's get married. 1 am afraid no more." But when he would, she wouldn't; and so th°y went hack to their homes without committing matrimony. —"Dividends" to the extent of fire hundred and forty-five per cent., within ay ear or two, were what the Credit Mobilier Senators and Con gressmen "bought" when they In vested in Ames' stock, at the time when his Company "wanted more friends in Congress." - These splen did "dividends" were paid out of the pmeteils of the Government bounty to the Union Pacific Rail road. The shrewd Congressmen who 'bought' them first denied that' they had 'bought' them, and then, when confronted with their cheeks, receipts, letters and accounts, in the office of the Sergeant at-Arms, which prove that they did "buy," notwith standing their denial, ask why they Should not have the privilege to .`buy" into such a good, fat thing?

The follow ing hi a description'of the honors of the hurricane, as sent by a corre spondent from Winona, Minnescita, on January IS, to the New York Herald: I was in Minnesota after the awful massacres of ten years ago, when the red wave of Indian invasion swept over the smiling land and left it a waste ofashes soaked with blood; but the scalping-knife and bullet of the Sioux did not do such havoc as the snows have wrought this year, nor were all the tortures of the red fiends productive of more agony than I have witnessed within the past ten days. What has been suffered and how many have been slain has not yet been ascertained, for the settlements are far apart and communication is difficult; but by every mail come par ticulars that chill the blood. and we elm now fairly estimate the extent of the calamity. Up to that fatal Tues day, at whose mention many a heart shall ache in Minnesota for years to come, there had been winter weather of the usual sort, clear, cold, with oc casional storms of snow, some of which had seriously blockaded the railroads and induced considerable suffering from scarcity of fuel. TUESDAY; TUE 7TH. was a lovely and mild day. The sun was bright and the air balmy. Eve ry pike of the country was astir under the genial influence, and the wild swans that clanged overhead once or twice from their meres must have seen the prairie roads alive with teams. The farmers were all out at the nearest settlement. They were getting short of fuel; there was but a handful of flour at the bottom of the barrel; not a scrap of meat was left. But the snows had ceased, their shag gy little horses were Well again, so every farmer hitched his team for the town. In the little cottages of wood were women and children; the school houses were full of little ones. Such was the country, thus its dwel lers, when the blow fell. Nature would seem to have arrogated to her self all the savage attributes which had marked her first children there, their careful and patient watch for an easy opportunity, and their sudden and RELENTLFSS ONSLAUGHT So utterly unprepared ware the people for the change in the weather, and so sudenly did it come upon them. that one man at Winnebago City describes it as "if a man had clapped his hands- - so. and the snow came in our faces." Knowing what the hurricane boded, men leaped in to their sleighs, and with voice and lash urged their cowering homes out Into the storm. Then the work of death began. For more than fifty hours, till late on Thursday, the freezing wind and falling snow con tinued. it was not a steady fall of snow, but A IIOWLLVO HURRICANE. the wind sometimes attaining a speed of twenty-eight, thirty, or thirty-two miles. The snow came in fitful flur ries, with a wild screech and a sting ing whiz. The thermometer fell steadily, till at Champlain it regis tered fifty-four degrees below zero. At other places the mercury or spirit marked from eight to forty-two de green belhar;,.: Some of the farmers who set,mkt soon found that if they valuedl4,' they must turn back. they were enveloped In sheets otsnow tae! brl tkow_The.wind came so fiercely that they were fain to stop and turn round tilt a momentary lull came. The road —why the level prairie was all road now, without one track of wheel or runner to indicate the path of safety. Wherever there was a slight knoll or a tree the driving snow-sleet curled round it and broke over it like yeasty billows over a wreck, and far to leeward grew up drifts of eccentric form. Then the snorting horses that toiled along, pressing with their heaving Hanks closer to each other for warmth and dumb protection and sympathy, re fused to go forward; the driver felt himself becoming listless, his cold limbs were growing warm, and warned of the SWIFT COMING OF DEATH, he turned and retraced his steps.— Happy they who did so betimes! There were many who held on till it waste° late. There were more who, goaded on by a dreadful fear of the fate of their wives and littleones, left alone in 'their frail citidels, forced on through the drifts that grew deep er at every step and cold that became more Intense every moment. And there were others who grew weary of the enntest, end. lying down in their robes, were lulled by the elemental rage Into a slumber which knew no awakening: Sometimes the horses gave out, and the unhappy driver, benumbed and chilied,h is movements Impeded by-his heavy clothing. had to abandon Ida team and take to the drifts. The moans and shrieks of the horses that- found themselves thus deserted by their masters are acid by some few who survived such scenes to have been agonizing to hear. And at their homes things were no better. There waaperhatis a scanty supply of Mel in the corner and but a day's food In the larder. Night trod closely on the heeleof noon.

Tt was impossible to open the doors, so high had the drifts become. The fire grew low, though it was replenished with the scanty furniture. Day succeeded to darkness, but the day was as the night. Only the chimney of the house appeared above the drifts. The poor woman knew that her children lay desui,iiand in hand, on the pre rle, and that her husband's corpse Waft somewhere entombed in a giant drift. The little baby's blue tills were 'aid against her empty breast ; the soul had sped from between them in a little cloud of frozen vapor. She lay down and died, and the relenting winds waifted through the apertures of the room a decent drift of diamond snow %rater winding sheet. These pictures terrible as they may appear to thereeders of the Herald, who sit by wand fires and find the music of the snow as it tinkles again the glass tt muslefe and a cheerful sound, are less than the reality. The advance of death-was like that of a torturer, who comes with all hie horrid en gines to , the victim bound at the stake. Only they were to be envied who met a swifter fate in the raging storm without, and were spared the sight of their children dying before their eyes with hunger as well as of cold. ON THE'IIittROADS. there was nOt absolute suffering. Of course trued were snowed in for days In dilfts that towered to the telegraph wires, and passengers had to shiver and be scantily fed. But this was only a trifle. When Friday, the 16th, came. the sun rose upon a lamt of snow and el leue. prifts many feet deep and many SQUAW miles , in extent were there. 'Here and there the chimney of a house stood up like a tombstone vasteemetery., The land lsy like tines under a winding that had moulded itself Into ocemdonal wrinkles over the dad limbs or set features. Now came the giant la bor of clearing away the giant drifts and setting free the imprisoned trains, and the sadder task of tracing trough the prairies the steps of the dead. Everywhere they were found lying still and statue-like in Tilt ICY EMBRACE OF DtATH. Sometimes the searchers would find man and horses together, the former lying dead, wrapped in his robes,with the whip in his hand,in the sleigh, one horse down and the other standing on the spot where he was fastened by his partner's fail till he shared his partner's fate. Sometimes thealeigh was found overturned,with the traces cut. Then to right or left would be discovered the driver, who had wandered round in a despairing circle to die. Occasionally the beasts in their dilated nostrils, widely spread lips, and staring eyes, would show signs of mortal terror. And the men, too, were sometimes Laccoons of lee —statues of writhing despair. But, as a rule, death came quietly, as it does in these cases, first robbing the victim of the consciousness of ap proaching deat,which begets an ag onized struggle h for life, and stilling him with a stupor said to be delic ious as it is deadly. TUE DEATH ROLL cannot yet he made up with any rea sonable degree of certainty. We are only now getting detailed reports from the nearer settlements, and it will be fully a week ere these are so complete as to be trustworthy.— Many of the miming will not be found till spring; but it is safe to set down all the missing as dead. After carefully collating the various re ports received thus far.and making all allowance for the remaining parts of the State, am led to conclude that the loss of life in Minesota will range from two hundred and fifty to three hundred. It is Just possible, though not probable, that the 'higher figure may be reached. Almost all of these are men, and the very large propor tion of them fathers of families in straitened circumstances. The sur viving widows and children will thus be left without means of sup port of any description. The charit able of the East will here find an ob ject for their sympathies. HARD TIMER Workingmen have ofren asked ui what causes hard times. Generally it Is a derangement of the tooneta ry affairs of the country and.very often the fault of the head of the financial department of the government. But aside from this, hard times comes from causes which we have found pithily expressed as copied below. They will bear close reading and scrutiny on the part of those who wish to avoid hard times, and we commend them especially to our large working class. many of whom have already taken warning by some such propositions, but may still wish to have them in tangible shape for ref erence : 1. Too many spend money and too few earn it. 2. Too much money is spent waste fully and uselessly, and too little saved and made productive and ac cumulative. 3. We buy too much abroad that we o ught to produce at home. 4. We buy too much that we do not pay for crash down—too much of what we buy being what we do not actu ally need. 5. Weave too wasteful. know too little hos t to economize, and have too little disposition to do so. G. We are too speculative, unscru pulous and actually dishonest in our efforts to make money. 9. %%hymn* of Vs ptellre Mime* to industry, and too few of us know how to work and derive pleisure and profit from our labor. A. We spend too much time learn ing what is not useful, and too little informing ourselves upon the best methods of promoting our material prosperity. 9. We know too much of polities, spend too much time and money as politicians, and know too little about political economy and the science of a stable and economical, successful public policy. 10. Our actions are governed too much by passion, prejudice and parti san feeling, and not enough by a broad, intelligent, liberal and patri otic conception of the duties which American citizenship involves. 11. We are too superficial and im hatient, and lack the clear purpose and persistent, patient application necessary to permanent success. 12. We depend too much upon our "sharpness." and "cuteness," and readiness to take advantage of cir cumstances, and not. enough upon earnest, honest labor. 13. We talk and read too touch, and think and net too little. 14. We spread ourselves over too great asurfaee, and thus fail to dig deep enough in one place for nuggets that will surely enrich us. We laCk In that higher morali ty which frowns down venality and elevates and encourages purity of life, probity of conduct, and a scrupulous regard for a good and honorable name. IG. Wedo not teach our children that they must, nor how to earn their own living, and are too willing to commit them to a life of easy un scrupulousness. depending on their skill as make-shifts rather than npon their solid acquirements as men and women. 17. We roll about too much like stoned that gather no moss, enriching carrying corporations and speculating capitalists,l and defrauding ourselves of the substantial profits of our own industry. IS. We are devotees of show rather than substance. and pay n nage to the glitter of a "success" which is but a robe covering filth, rottenness and corruption—social, commercial and polities!. 19. We build too many churches and cultivate the Christian virtues and spirit too little;we have too many schools and too few real teachers; we are too undivided in certain direc tions and not enough so in other; we adhere too closely to what we ought to depart from, and refuse to take hold of that to which we ought to cling. 20. In short s we are too Inues hat we ought not, and not enougi hat we ought to be. Is the theory satisfactory ? The Viee-Peeeldent•w Unless Vice-President Colfax can break through the web of circumstan tial evidence w hich has gradually enfolded him, we see nothing before him but moral rain. In the new as pect of the case, the question of his connection with the Credit Mobilier scandal is no longer the chief one, it is overshadowed by another which affects his character for honor and ve racity. The astounding develop ments in the Credit Mobilier investi gation, yesterday, make it necessary for the Vice-President to show, if he can, that he has not sworn falsely. The circumstances are these: Mr. Colfax denied that he had received a certain specified dividend of $1,200 on Credit Mobilier stock. Mr. Ames swore positively that ho gave the Viee-Presidenta check on the House Sergeant-at-Arms for that amount. The check, dated June 20.1868, is produced; it was paid June 21 ; Mr. Colfax's bank account Is examined end it - is found that on June, 1868, he deposited the precise amount of $1,200 In bank notes; and, as if to emphasize the fact of the deposit, the whole amount of it was specified to be $1,968 63, of which all but $1,200 was in checks. The fatal sum stands by itself. We have not the heart to comment at length on this appearently utter and deplorable fall. Wehope, for the sake of the perenarne.whieb Mr. Col• fax basso long borne before the cone by—for the sake of the country itself we hope—that he may yet be able to • • own ti t • if n ng• o eirctunstantlal evidence which has slowly encircled him. The only way I of wane is to prove that the $1,X50 deposited on June 22 was received from Some other source than the agent of the Credit Dfobilier Associa tion. The Vice-President has too often spoken of his seem* business habits, his limited income, and his faithful recollection of all details of his small private business not to make this means of escape easy, if it is pos sible. He could not readily forget the disposition of $1,200 in notes if he received them ;he could not forget their receipt. Igo far as we can see now, unless Vice-Pretident Colfax can account for the $1,200 deposit, the evidence must be accepted as conclu sive, and he stands before the coun try forsworn and dishonored; led on to false-swearing by the slender thread of a first weak, irresolute, and juggling denial. The figure which he assumes is a melancholy one, full of warning and profoundly pitiful. Unless there be some door of escape in this seemingly adamantine wall of proof—for which we shall still hope, although the chance seems so slight the world is the poorer for this loss of one Wore shining example of public virtue.—Ncuy York Tribune, Jun 23. THE OREGON EARTHQUAKE. What it Lid in the Spokane thuntry —Mountains Overturned—Houses Badly Demoralized—Only Sixty four shocks. [From the Ponied (Oregon)l Herald, Jan. 4.1 Portland and numerous other places in Western Oregon. and in Wash ington Territory, were visited by se vere shocks of an earthquake on De cember 14, 1872. The citizens of this town thought It a huge affair, and so did all other places heard from at the time. The feather. however. belongs east of the mountains, according to the following account given to our reporter last evening by an eye-wit ness. The informant, Mr. Mcßride, stated that he and another man own ed a ranche some three miles back from the mouth of the Wenatches river, which is about 170 miles from WaHula. On the night of the 14th of last December, he and his partner had retired, and were asleep when they were suddenly awakened by noise as it the stove had been upset. They made for.thestore on the river, some six miles distant. the ground undulating in a disorderly manner as they rode along. Arrived at the store they found everything in confusion. In the morning an examination was made, when It was discovered that in the store, sacks of flour, which ' had been piled in four feet deep, were thrown around in confusion. The upper logs of the cabin and the roof was misplaced, and the kitchen sena rated from the main building. The effect outside. Mr. Mcßride says, was terrible. He declares that the shocks which lasted until 5 o'clock Sunday morning, December 15, were sixty four in number, eight being very se vere. He also says that the peaks of several of the hills on the Kititas and Columbia range of mountains were hurled over and broken. Trees were crushed to pieces-and the river be came very muddy, rising three feet Inside of ten minutes. Great masses of earth, as if from a tremendous land slide, rushed down the mountain side, mixed with stone and wood, and thegulch.es lost their identity by be ing filled with this debris. The hard shock, which occurred about 11 o'clock itt the night, was preceded by an explosion—apparently on the mountain—sounding like the dis charge of several pieces of artillery simultaneously. The people thought that the entire Grand Tute county was sinking end were making prepa rations to leave. To add to the gen eral confusion, the Spokane Indians, WA and young male and fetnalo, gathered around the settlers, alarmed and exclaiming that the world was coming to an end. They asked for advice and counsel from the whites, interspersing their sentences with fragments of prayer. Mr. Mcßride says that the shocks continued at intervals until the ltith ultimo. The entire country was still alarmed and unsettled when he left there, fifteen days ago, to come to Portland. Congress and Llquoi Lutwf The evils of intemperant.c have be came so flagrant that the attention of Congress had been drawn to the sub ject. Hon. Henry Wilson, Vice President elect in obedience to nu merous memorials signed at the In stemes of the National Temperance Society. has introduced a hilt in the Senate of the United States, in rela- Con to the liquor traffic, which was referred to the Committee on Revi sion of Laws. The bill provides for the appointment of a Commission of inquiry concerning the results of the traffic, in intoxicatinlignorsje galized by State legislation ; and al coneerning the results of restric tive and prohibitory legislation in Maine.Massachusettsanti other States. The Committee, under the hill, is al so-directed to recommend what leg islation, if tiny, by Congress would be beticial to prohihit,in the sphere ()National authority, all intoxicat ing liquors as a leverage. Possibly the telegram may be inaccurate in the last clause, and the inquiry may I be restricted to refer to the sale of in- tox leafing liquors. A report such a.s that contemplated in the first part of I this resolution would be exceedingly valuable, because of the Information it would impart, if thoroughly and carefully prepared. And it would be highly gratify ing to us, if It were possible, for Congress to legislate in favor of the I prohibition of the sale of spirituous liquors, as a beverage, throughout the country; but we do not profess to have the legal learning or hbility necessary to decide this point. Con cerning the power of Congress in this matter there is great diversity of opinion, even amongst the ardent friends of temperance. We confess, however, that since Congress impos es a duty on every gallon of liqueur imported Into this country, and rais es a larger revenue from taxes on dis tilled spirits than from anything else, it seems to our unprofessional eyes, that the Mime principal would give Congress the right to interdictiits sale altogethsr,as a beverage. At all events, we are glad to see that the at tention ofrongrets has been drawn to the subject, and that too by one who is to occupy the second placs in the gift of the nation. By the prrs ent laws of the Union, no spirit ra tions are served in the army or navy. Nor at any military post or naval station, or building or space used in the civil service, is the sale of liquor permitted—always accepting the "holes In the wall," in the Capitol at Washington. The officers and men In the army and navy are liable to punishment for drunkenness by court-martial in thecaseofofficers,and -by summary proceeding in the case of privates. In the the civil service any official. from highest to lowest, subject to suspension or dismissal for drunkermess.or for such indulgence as makes him insufficient or negligent. The National Congress ought for the sake of its own reputation, to stop the clandestine supply of intoxi cating drinks in the Capitol, That this could he done, no one doubts; and the people shoulddernand it in a way that cannot - be misunderstood. Exclude liquor entirely from the Capitol, and many of the disgraceful scenes which occur there from time to time will cease,—Presbyterian Banner. —The Pittsburg Leader thinks this a case of the inveteracy of political habits "When we a year or two ago had occasion to pay a small sum of money to a Harrisburg lobbyist for ordinary newspaper work, we were amazed to find that th& only way he could take it was to have it enclosed in an envelope and left for him on a certain desk. He had been so long used to getting his money in this sort of way that be wolud have felt uncomfortable to have taken it in an epea, and, straightforward man ner." CAUGHT IN A TRAP. The Kansas Benatorship--Pomeroy Charged With Attempting to Secure His Election by Bribery—Exposure on the Eve of a Ballot—The Bribe Money Produced—John Ingalls Elected Senator—Pomeroy Arrest ed and Bailed. TOPEKA. KANSAS, January D.-- The Legislature met in joint session at noon to vote for UnitedBtates Sen ator. Long before the hour for as sembling the galleries and stairways of the hall were densely packed with people of both sexes, and stand in g room could not be obtained within hearing oreven in sight of the pro ceedings inside the hall. John J. In galls, of Atchison, wits neteinated, as agreed upon by a mucus of sixty members, as the fittest man to oppo,e Pomeroy. Senator York then pro ceeded to detail three alleged inter views between himself a n crPoineroy. He said these interviews were held In pursuance of a plan agreed upon by ' himself and other prominent (Too- nents of Pomeroy. The first one was on Friday night last, at which sever al persons were present, and during which the matter of the Ross letter was discussed. The second one was private, and at the solicitation of Pomeroy, on Monday night. At this Pomeroy offered him ( York ) $B,OOO for his vote—s2,ooo cash, $5,000 on Tuesday, and the remainder on Thursday. York accepted the offer and took $2,000. On Tuesday after noon met Pomeroy again by agree ment and received - from him the $5,000 promised. York then produ ced a roll of bank bills from his pock et and said, "Here is the $7,000 paid to me by Pomeroy, which I now de-,, sire to place in the hands of the Pres ident of this joint convention." At the conclusion of York's speech a motion was Made for a recess till five o'clock in the afternoon, to give Pomeroy an opportunity to defend himself, which was defeated by a large majority and a motion to pro ceed immediately to ballot for Sena tor was carried amidst great excite ment. Before the Senate roll was finished it was clearly evident that Ingalls would carry the great body of the Legislature, both of the Pomeroy and anti-Pomeroy vote. The Senate stood—l ngails 26; Lowe,4; Harvey,2; York, 1. 'The vote of the House stood—lngalls, R 9; Lowe, 3 ; ('lark, 2; Robinson, 1 ; Kingman, I ; York; I ; blank, 1 . Ingalls was declared elected and the joint convention ad journed. Immediatly after adjournment, complaint was entered in the court against Pomeroy on a charge of brib ery, and he was arrested and gave bail in the sum of i 4 :1.000 to appear on Friday. This evening York was ar rested on a charge of bribery.and ap pcsred for examination, when the case was dismissed and he was releas ed. Pomeroy's friends say he denies York's charges in toto, and that he is preparing a statement regarding the'matter for publication to-morrow. A large and enthusiastic meeting was held at Casta's Opera House to-night to celebrate the election of I walk. Speeches were made by Ingalls and others, and a series of approprinte olutions passed.
