CARLISLE. PA TUXTRBDA T, JKE BItVAJtTSO, IST.I. WILSON. But few papers have dared to defend Colfax. The evldepce against him is so positive and overwhelming, that even his friends give him up, pronounce him a scoundrel, and demand.his impeach ment. But, not so with Wilson, Vico President-elect. Quito a number of papers volunteered their services to de fend him. The more recent testimony I before the Congressional'lnvestigating Committee, however, lias knocked the noise out of these papers, and most of them are now forced to admit that Wilson is in as bad a position as Col fax. And so he is. When ho first appeared before the Committee ho pre tended to be amazed that he should bo suspected of having received bribes for his votes. Ho rolled up the dirty whites of his eyes and called “ God to witness” that he never owned a dollar’s | worth of Credit Mohilier stock, and never had any dealings with Oakes Ames. Ames was present when Wil son made this, statement to the Com mittee, and ho expressed surprise.— Being questioned rather sharply by.the Chairman of the Committee, W.ilsou finally confessed that bis wife, now dead, had iiad some dealings with Ames, and did receive Credit Mobiliei . stock from him ! It seems from this ' that ho had transacted his villainies and received bribes from Oakes Ames through his wife. This shows him not only a corruptionist but a coward. But, a few days since, a much larger cat was let out of the bag. Ames was again on the stand, and ho produced Wilson’s own receipts for the monies ' and stocks that he (Ames) had paid him ! Wilson was dumbfounded. He had forgotten that ho had receipted to Ames for the amount of the bribery money he had received. 1 He was faiily caught, and since then he has said nothing about ” ray wife’s transac tions.” Henry Wilson, then, is in as bat) a predicament as Colfax. Both are guilty! guilty! guilty! Both received bribes in consideration of voting, to mammoth rail-road companies millions ■of acres of the people’s lands. Indeed, from what has already been revealed, it is evident that, the leaders of tho Radical party are corrupt to the core, and have been ready at all times to sell their country for money. They have been pretenders and frauds all* along, and their hypocritical professions about “ loyalty” and religion were made for. the purpose of attracting attention from their villainous prac tices. Will the Radicals, now that Henry Wilson has been exposed, dare to swear him in as Vice President ?„ Will they dare, in the face of what we have seen, permit this infamous man to occupy tho second highest office in the govern ment? We shall soe what we shall NAST’S PENCIL, General Grant is said to have sub cribed a liberal sura of money toward getting up a testimonial for Mr. Thomas Nast, the .caricaturist. The cartoons produced by Mast during the late cam paign, were well calculated to please tho tastes of the President. They were so very delicate and refined. The cari catures on Greeley were at .once brutal and heartless, and his nearest friends believe they were tho cause of his in sanity and death. Mr. Greeley was a very sensitive man, and none but his own family and a few intimate friends know how much he suffered from Nast’s persistent assaults. Mr. Greeley had been the brains of the Republican parly; indeed, he was the father ot the party—wdiich, wo are free to con less,, was nothing to iris credit—and tor him to be made sport of by tiro creatures who had been-foisted into office by Ids efforts, was more than he could bear. His great mind yielded to the constant blows administered by Must—who was tho hireling of Grant’s administiatiun —and finally insanity hurried him to a piemature grave. The Credit Mobilier investigation has lurnisbed the most suggestive hints, but the pencil of Mr. Nast remains idle. It is the pencil of a political sycophant, or, if not that, it. is a mci cenary instrument, to be bought a.cl prostituted to any use which employers may dictate. The genius of the true artist is said not to seek pecuniary re ward, but Thomas Nast’s is not of that character. It is as mercenary as. Grant’s nature, which regards pecunia ryßewards as the greatest that can bo bestowed. Suffocated by Gas. —In loledo, 0., on Thursday morning a Mrs. bee lev 'called at the boarding house 9! Mrs. L.

M!i Quito indefensible ns, is the connec tion of Vico President Colfax' with the Credit Mobilier, the Republican press defend it; hopelessly ruined as is the good name of that venal Republican, who has descended below that descent and become a sneak and liar to hide his venality, and then a perjuror to hide his lies, nevertheless the Republican organs seem to think it possible to res cue his namo from ruin. And as .with Colfax so with ail the other'Credit Mo- biler Congressmen. They are indeed the leaders the foremost men of the liepublican party, and it may shorn to the Republican press that the life of the party now requires the thorough going defence of these Republican leaders. Tons, says the N. World, it seems that the Republican party cannot sur- vive their delenco and protection. It can itself live only by casting them forth from its communion. . As for de fending them, this is its own suicide.. The following list which shows the Credit Mobilier shows also their high places in the Republican Congress. Not merely are the Vico President and the Vico President elect inculpated— Colfax and Wilson—but the chairmen of the live most important committees in the House of Representatives, the Ways and Means .Committee, the Ap- propriation Committee, the Banking and Currency Cmmittee, the Judiciary Committeo, and the Naval Committee, to say nothing of the other member of the Ways and Means Committee, wlkj ■is the only Democrat smirched by any revelations, and Kelly, the loader of the Protectionists, to wit ; Dawes, Gar- field, Hooper, Bingham, Scofield, and Wilson. It is- very plain that Oakes Ames did put the Credit Mobilier stock where he thought it would do the most good. Sciiuvlku Coi.fax, Vice President Hexuy Wmsox, Vice Presiden elect.

The Nation discusses the matter with no such blind' and blundering zeal, but describes facts as they are; 11 By the time the Credit Mobilier in vestigation comes to an end wo shall probably know what kind of a world we live in. Last week left Ames’s check for $1,200 payable to ‘S. C.’ or bearer, dated June 20, 1808, unexplain ed, and now the bank account of Mr. Colfax having been examined shows that Mr. Colfax did, on June 22,1565, deposit the exact sum of $1,200, not withstanding ids emphatic denial be fore the Poland Committee that he re ceived any such addition to his income at that time from any source whatever. His exact words were ‘Now I could not have had $1,200 added to my income without remembering it very positive ly.’ As soon as the fact of this deposit came out Mr. Colfax demanded a now investigation from the Senate, which the Senate very naturally declined to let him have. Ho has now retained ns counsel Mr. Robert S. Hull, of this city, and when Mr. Colfax has refreshed,ids memory by looking over ids papers he is going to disprqve the whole thing. _ ‘•M i Colfax is behaving—to speak mildly—very injudiciously. He has been accused; on evidence on which any jury would convict him, of having per jured himself with regard to the receipt of §1,200 from Oakes Amos. Now, there is only one answer to this, viz: I that Mr. Colfax received the money from somebody else, and this answer could be made in five minutes. All ho has to do-is to name the man who paid it to him, and give the reason for which it was paid; and this, to a gen tleman of small income who keeps his accounts with great accuracy, as Mr. Colfax says he does his, can be a task of no difficulty. Instead of doing this, however, he went to the Senate and made an absurd demand for a fresh committee of investigation, though the Wilson Committee was still sitting, then allowed Oakes Ames to go home, and said he would produce his defence when Oakes Ames came back, made some rambling observations about ‘looking over his papers,’ and then started oif to attend religious and tem perance meetings in Philadelphia and Baltimore. At Philadelphia he made his appearance before the Young Men’s Christian Association, and was received with shouts of tfpplause; and at the temperance meeting at Baltimore there was more frantic applause, and the Vice President informed the audience that ‘the woild was full of human trials and crime and suffering, full of wars and disease and breaking hearts, lull of unjust aspersion,’ and made oth er moral reflections of the same sort. We now beg to inform Mr. Colfax that honest men are sick, heartsick of this sort of thing; that what the world demands of. him Just at present is not philosophical observations on the vanity of this life , but a plain account ot how he got that §i,2UO; and pending his prepar ation of that account they think he ought tp maintain a decent seclusion and reticence. Wo may also, with equal coutidenoo, inform the young brethren of the Christian Association that when they raise shouts of applause for a man in Mr. Colfax’s position, they sot hun dreds of thousands of other young men asking —as they asked during the Methodist Book Concern troubles whether there is any more necessary connection between morality and the worship of Pan. Membership in these associations is fast ceasing to be a cer tllicate of integrity ; let them take care that it does not raise a presumption of want of integrity.” Judge Poland's Eeport—How tho Victims Stood it, , Washington, Fob.

THE INGRATITUDE OF EEPUBLIOS. There can bo no possible doubt that there is something very beautiful in the economical simplicity of our repuqlican institutions. Tiro appeal with peculiar directness to the affections of the great populace, so much, indeed,' that we are sometimes tempted to believe in them oursolyes. But, at the very moment when we are ready to screw our faith to the sticking place, there comes to us simultaneously stories of some politician- ignorant, venal and a, hinderance rather, than a help to the government growing extravagantly wealthy in some place of trust and honor, and of a daughter of air ex- President of the United States—an old and noble soldier, whose prowess in battle gave us an almost unlimited territory, rich and productive beyond computation—humbly suing Congress for a pension of fifty dollars per month - to beep herself and her children (the wife and children of another soldier) from starvation. .Speaker Blane, in asking for this relief from his associates declined to read to them the petition which too distinctly set forth in what manner the great Republic had treated the daughter of a President and the widow of a soldier. He repressed it, fearing the common disgrace that its publication would fasten upon the whole nation. The House voted the pension without dissent; but wo hope when it comes, before the Senate that some one, not altogether lost in ad- miration of the noble and economical system ol our republican institutions, will move to amend the bill by making the pension one hundred dollars per month. If there can be one fact more dis graceful to the country than another, it would be the spectacle of an altogether estimable daughter of ah ex-President and hero like Zachary Taylor forced to eke out a precarious existence for herself and children on fifty dollars per month. There is something so infin itely humiliating in this matter that Congress should strive hard to remove as much as possible, the common shame of it. It has passed into a proverb that “Republics are ungrate ful,” but we never quite appreciated the fact until now. Special to the Volunteer. rourtoen Oil Tanks Thrown Into a Elver Foxbubo, Pa., Feb. 18, John B. Bratton, Esq. Dear&ir— lf you can find room In your well-filled columns for the following notes of an accident which occurred on the A. V. R. R-, last Tuesday, it may iulereaf some of your readers: . A mixed train, consisting of thirteen or fourteen oil tanks and one passenger oar left Foxburg 30 minutes late, about 3 V, 51. They ran at a slightly accelerated rate of aneed, until 8 miles north of this point. Between Rockland Station and Black’s Siding it encountered a broken rail. The engine was reversed and brakes called immediately, but too late —the last six oil oars aud passenger coacli were ca reening over the bank into tire river. The coach made a complete somersault, aud half ligbliug in four feet of water, with trucks up. The oil tanks bursled, spreading some 500 barrels of oil over the 1 water, which, coming In contact with the stove in the coach, ignited, and a scene terrible to behold ensued —men jumping through doors and windows only to be forced back tiy the flames on the water, or, if more handy to press through to the bank. Fortunately', no ladies were-in the coach. Two men and one boy were : ki.h d - the news boy, Wm. Casey, aud a man who boro a_ no torious character ttirougb the oil regions, lost his file in attempting to save that of tile news boy; and a man unknown un claimed, The Coroner’s jury fully ex onerated the railroad Company, but ad vised not to haul oil and passengers on one train. The Oil City Derrick accused tho Supt. of the railroad and the railroad lawyer of buying the jury. The sale of Derricks on lire A. V. R. R. trains was ordered slopped. This is the second ac cident near this point within a month, a loss of life occurring each time. At the last from 1(1 to 30 were injured. K. 1). LOCAL ITEMS.

HOLLY AND ITS EESOUEOES, Mr. Editor— , ***** **** I will endeavor to give you a synopsis of the business done In .the Mountain Creek Valley, and also*what we expect to do next summer. There are at present seven ore banks in active operation in this little valley, worked and owned by tho following darned parties Henry Mussleman &Sons, of Marietta, Lancaster county, work one bank, leased from Mr. Btrlckler, capable of mining 20 ions per day. J. C. Kerkslaeger, opera tor, leased from the Mt. Holly Paper Co., capable of miuing4o tons per day. Messrs Wy nkoop, Medlar & Bay lor, of Pottsville, operators, leased from the Mt. Holly Pa per Co., mining |jiout SO tons per day. Henry Clay ore bank, Messrs Guiterman & Robertson, of Pottsville, operators. Leased from J. R. Kiltie, capable of mi ning forty tons per day. Fuller ore bank, Mr. James Lanigan, of Pottsville, opera tor. Leased from J. R. Killie. Capacity thirty tons per day. Laurel ore bank, owned and worked by the S. M. I. Co.; yields forty tons ppr day. Pine Grove ore bank, also owned and worked by the 3. il. I. Co., yields forty tons per day. In addition to the above banks, all of which are Hi active operation, there are three other leases granted to Messrs Browuback & March, of Dauphin Co., Messrs Seifert, MoMannus & Co., of Reading, and Mr. Robertson, of Pbllada. —ail three claims leased from J. R. Killie. Messrs Brownback & March commen ced operations on their lease lata last fall, and had to abandon it until Spring. They will resume operations about the Ist of March. Messrs Seifert, McManus & Co. will commence operations ns soon as the weather will permit. Mr. Robin son will also commence operations soon as practicable. The South Mountain Iron Company haVe the machinery on the ground for two new ore banks on their own lands, and are also waiting for Spring to banish ” old Jack Frost,” to allow them to go into operation. This same Company, I am informed, also contemplate extending their road up the valley toward Waynea burg this summer. If they do that, they will develop large Helds of iron ore, and will add to the traffic over their road. The S. M. I. Co.’s furnace at Pine Grove is in operation and making ,a good quan tity of iron. Operations have been sus pended at the Laurel Forge, for reasons only known to the owners. Two hundred and sixty tons of pre per day is the yield from the banka along the line of the railroad in this valley, and next summer the yield will not fall much short of three hundred and fifty tons per day. This gives employment to about two hundred and sixty workmen, and that, too, in a section of the county where, five years ago, there were not forty or fifty persons employed. When all the operations get started, there will not be leas than four hundred and fifty workmen employed. This, of course, brings money into our county, and adds to the wealth of the same. Several gentlemen in Mt. Holly and vicinity have been talking of building an Anthracite Furnace at, Mt. Holly for two years past, so as to use up a part of the ore mined in this vicinity, but of late I hear nothing about it. Possibly it was all talk, but let us hope that some thing more than talk will come out of it. I know of no better location for a fur nace in this county than Mt. Holly. The advantages for transportation will be ail that could be asked for. The site spoken of for a furnace is near the oross iiig of the H. & P. R. R- with the H. M. R. K. The H. & P. R- R- ie fa" l beln K graded to this point, and in another year we may expect to bear the shrill whistle of the “ iron horse” over the new rail road. which will give a chance for com petition in freight. The ore and lime stone are easily obtained along the line of the S. M. R. R-, and also along the H. &P. R. R- The only transportation to amount to any thing, will be the fuel and on the iron, after it is made, to the 1 market. But, more anon. Yours, &e., John Cami hell, President of Board Mt. Holly, Feb. 17,1873. Personal.—Our enterprising young friend, Mr. John D. Carothers. of La trobe, Westmoreland county, paid us a visit on Thursday last.

He is about engaging in the business himself, and the citizens of Latrobe and vicinity, would do well to give him a share of their patronage; Be ing steady and industrious In his habits, and also, a good workman, all work en trusted to his care will receive prompt attention, and be done in the best man ner. We also received a call from our good natured friend, George C. Sheuffer, Esq,, of Silver Spring township. As usual, George brought us a local, and it other friends who drop in to see us would do likewise, we wouli be able to give a great many items of news which occur in different sections of the county.

Fatal Railroad accident. — On Saturday evening last, Charles King, a moulder, employed at Messrs. Gardner & Co.’s machine works, met with an ac cident on the Cumberland Valley Rail road, which terminated la his death the same evening. Mr. King contemplated, going to Ohambersburg, where, we believe, some of hfs relatives reside. Ho left this place on the evening train, and when within two hundred yards of Newvllle station he fell from The platform on which he was standing, unnoticed by any person on the, train.

Mr. Miller's Lecture at Dickinson Ohurok, The lecture on Thursday evening at Dickinson Church, by Wtn. H. Miller, Baq., was a complete success, and must have been gratifying to the committee and congregation, for whose benefit these lectures are given—not, only in a pecuni ary point of view, but as an evidence of their wisdom in selecting a gentleman so widely, and popularly known. The house was literally filled to overflowing, and communities from ail pofnts within a radius of ten miles were represented. There was in the circumstances a signi ficance aside from the ordinary interest in a popular lecture; however eloquent. The large audience Was, in itself, a spon taneous ovation to Mr. Miller's abilities, and to bis associations in this communi- ty. The personality of the speaker was of as much Interest to the majority of his hearers as the matter of his lecture. Of the latter it is sufficient to say that a finer description of natural scenery and inci dents of travel, enlivened by touches of humor, never was presented to this or any public. The Philharmonic Associa tion bore out its reputation as a goodly company of singers, and certainly seem ed to bo in generous mood on this occa sion, for it bestowed song after song with learned effort. The effect of this com bining music with oratory Is excellent, by way of relieving tjie tension of inter est in one absorbing theme.
