TION.
Those of our readers who have had
an opportnnity to read the testimony
taken before the Committtleain4eiti
gating the Credit Mobilier tranisc
tions, have probably, been "ptutrJed to
understand exactly for what purpose'
the inquiry has been - prosecuted. The
investigation seems to luive been mi.(
rowed dOwn to an exhibition of per
sonal quarrels, and to scenes of eriml
ination ands ecrimination; between
those who - Stand in the position of
prosecutors and certain members of
Congress implicated in stock trans
actions. It would be well, in consid
ering this matter, to remember that
certain partizan journals have
unfairly and industriously inisrep e
sebting and maligning all the sus
pected partiesfor the basest purposes,
and that the 'outcry they have raised,
has been predicated. rtpon certain
presumed transaitiobs, whiph have
not yet been thoroughly Probed and
brought to light. The charge upon
which this investigation was based,.
was that certain members of _Con
gresi bad been corrupted, or improp
erly influenced, by agents of the
Credit Mobilier. The evidence, so
far, fails to substantiate such a charge,
though it reveals certain trifinsaelliese,
which, taken in connection with the
statements and denials of certain
members of Congress, places them in
an awkward position, to say the least.
Mr. Oexr.s AMES appears to ' have
been the agent of the Credit Mobilier,
or of the Pacific Railroad, and to
have used hia, personal influence to
persuade memberS of Congress to
take stock in the former. His method
of procedure was not exactly in ac
cordance with the usual method of
disposing of stocks. The stock paid
such early and large dividends that
the fortunate possessor instead of
being oblige& to " put up," soon
found himself the owner of certain
shares of Credit Mobilier, and Pacific
Railroad stock, without the outlay of
a. dollar. The impropriety or irregu
larity of such' a transaction, seems to
have been felt by some, for several of
the distinguished gentlonentirraign
ed, entertained Mr. AMES' , proposi
tions for a longer or shorter period,
and some of them did finally invest,
and still retain the investment; others
agreed to invest, and afterwards
were let off 'without closing the bar
gain, and still otheis received divi
dends upon shares for which they
paid nothing, and afterward refund
ed the money to I.f.r. AMES, signifying
to him that they ..had not concluded
to retain the investment.
It doe& no appear from ate govi-
dence, 'or from the history of the
Pacific Railroad, that any legislation
was had, or even asked for, favorably
affecting the corporation whose stocks
Mr. Ann so liberally dispensed, seb-
sequent to 'the time the shaies were
'disposed of, or held in trust ; and no
legislation touching the interests of
these corporations had been had for
.:me years previous. Such being,
undeniably, the case, there does not_
seem to be any impropriety in the
mere , fact of purchasing and holding
the stocks in question, any more than
would attach to the holding of United
States bonds or shares a National
Bank. But that there was something
wrong in these transactions, appears
from the manner in which they were
conducted, and the haste with which
those implicated made denials ; in
some cases, it would seem, at the
ek
pense of the Utah. The contradic
tions and explanations of pertain
parties have been extremely nnsatis.
factory, and their inconsistency with
the facts and figures brought to light %
has involved them in a cloud of sus
picion, which further explanation has
but served to thicken.
`Granted'that these stock transac
tions 'were not for the purpose of im
properly influencing the legislation
of the country, whence comes the
odium of the whole business? Why
is it, that members of Congress have
been so sensitive when their names
were mentioned, in connection with
Credit Mobilier, and have denied and
prevaricated, and suddenly forgotten
matters that should be fresh in their
recollections ? We suppose it pro
ceeds from the fact that the corpora
tion known' as the Credit Mobilier
was a swindling organization, used
by certain parties, to pay themselves
large profits from contracts for build
ing the Pacific
.Road. It was an en
terprise whosepurpose was, dishon
est, and suspicion and odium right-
fully attaches to all who shared in its
enormous profits: How far those
now on trial before, the country will
suffer in public estimation, will de
pend somewhat upon the testimony
yet to be elicited. :So far, the charge
of corruption is unsustained—but in
individual cases has shown a reckless
disregard of the truth, or a wilful
perversion of facts, very damaging
to the reputations of the actors in
this tragical comedy. Nothing but
a thorough and searching investiga
tion will now satisfy the country,
though we trust it will be divested of
the personal and,„vituperative char
acter it has hitherto assumed,. and
will be prosecuted with the higher
and laudable motive of righting Pub
lic wrongs and protecting public in
terests. It is not an agreeable spec
tacle, nor one calculated to elevate
the public morals, to see one mem
! ber Congress endeavoring to-
I prove a fellow member a liar ; and
to sr.ececd in blackening the repute
of ,half dolen members may,
be s .e 6-eat enjoyment to the'
17411 press, but we doubt its sal,'
utary influence upon the moral tone
, •
of the atuAtf. ; but , if this inirista

WAISTS COAL.
Experiments have, been Made in
this touhtry and Europe, for a num
berl of years, for the utlization of coal,
s/ack and dust, that is so abundant
at all coal mines, and success is said
to have at last attended the effort of
M. Lorszae i _ a rtitatilhmin. The
Mauch Chunk Gazelle . says that 'after
a recent examination of the method
of this gentleman, and of the results
of his experiments, the Lehigh Coal
and Navigation Company has auth-
Orized its President to apply
Xonetstt's process at its principal
6(61 Works, that machinery will at
once be constructed, and the new
coal, made froni waste anthracite,
will be marketed in the spring. Of
course it . can be applied to bittunin
one mines, Where the waste is great
er, with more profit. Artificial coal,
manufactured by the incorporation
of twenty to fifty per cent, of clay to
the slack, is no,noSelty in Europe, but
the ;product . has been really more
expeniive than pure coal to tne con
sumer; and in this country the latter
has crowded out every invention at
tempted; and left fifty per cent, of
bituminous coal and thirty-three per
cent: of authracite an ineumbrance
to the miners._ The new process is
said to reduce the 'amount of clay
employed in `utilizing the dust from
twentrto five per cent., and at the
same time to leave the product in a
condition to sustain handing and
resist the action of the atmosphere.
Should the achievement be all that
the Gazette anticipates from what has
.been seen, operators will not only
turn a pretty peney at a slight cost,
but will in so doing ;remove an in
convenience in the mines and a
nuisance about then: ; and thou who
wish the cheapest fiiel ,will be Ole to
secure what will en,wer their needs
at a Considerable rtanction. The
amount of Waste to be worked up is
incalcuble—the accumulation of de
cades.
DEsErrEns Boys-sr.—The Uni
ted States 8; r has recen t-.
ly decided au iMportant case in ref
erence to bounties to be paid to de
serters from the army under certain
circumstances. The blaitnant in the
case under consideration had deser- .
ted, but had been restored to his po
sition without trial, and being allow
ed to make up his lost time, he recei
ved an honorable discharge from the.
service. The Paymaster General al
lowed the claimant, proportionate
share (L 3 the bounty up to the time of,
his desertion, and refused it for all
the subsequent time. The Court of
Claims decide in favor of the deserter
and the snprane Court affirmed the
judgment, holding that his subse

formal and final judgment by the
Government upon the record of the
soldier, and an authoritative declar

IS The North Carolinian, pub
lished at Elizibeth City, C., re
fers to the election of Gen. Camasox
in the following truthful language :
SIMOtiCAMERON OF PENNEIYLVA:NU.-
The news from Harrisburg, the Cap
ital of our native State, is especially
gratifying to!ns. Gen. Simon Cam
eron, the veteran: statesman of Penn
sylvania, has been elected to the U.
S. Senate. What a thorough vindi
cation! What a grand triumph!
And well may thq Republicans„ of
Pennsylvania rejoice, far they know
'that in their "long tried and ever
true " Senator they have a steadfast
advocate of all their interests. We
have long known Gem Cameron, and
we have never foundlim to violate
a principle or " go back " on a friend.
In his hnig public career he has ever
stood earnestly and faithfully bat
tling for the best interests of the
country..
stir The Legislature of New York
refuses to make further appropria
Lions to canals which do not pay their
way. New York ought to do as Penn
sylvania did with her public works—
sell them to responsible parties. Ern..
der Democratic rule, our canals and
railroads, owned by the State, never
paid.. when Republicans came into
powers:they were sold, wall have since
then not only paid the parties own
ing them, but the taxes which the
State leiies on and collects from
such property amounts to more in one
year than their receipts, when owned
by it, amounted to in five years.
Sena l tor CAllEao; in declning
the invitation of the Pennsylvania As
sociation to a banquet, says: "I shrink
from this honor,fnot becanse I do not
fully appreciate it, but from a natural
disinclinaticin to any display which
involves my friends in preparation,
trouble and expense. I would much
rather meet the members of the Penn
sylvania Aisociation and their wives
at my home in Harrisburg. And so
invite them, iudiviAnally or collective
ly, to come the .;.; meet me, where
none of the res ' aints of a public ban
quet could intrude."
is.. Mr. COLFAX again solemnly
declares that - never saw OASES
Airs cheque for $1,200 until, the
24th of nut - month, and that he
"never received-a dollar from him on
any account whatever." We believe
Mr. CoLre,x, and,we think the public
will believe him too. We are not
prepared to regard Mr. COLFAX as a
dishonored than on the word of
OAF. ES AMES. le: C.. Mr. COLFAX be

The Credit Not:oilier frauds are now the all
absorbing topic of the day ; but little else is
talked about, especially in legislative circle's
where the matter is beginning to look
mixed.-'The developments that are now t_t_
day to day being iiisde over this unsavory sub

The testimony taken by the committee roves
beyond a Alloll that the reretwrient has been
swindled out of a verylerge amount of money,
through the oombtrians that existed between
the Credit Idobiller and the Valon Pacific Com•
panics. iluincoll era current. that in order to
ptunali the parties and corporations implicated
in the frauds, an effort will be thee to revoke
the charter of tho (3onipany. Should this be
effected the road will be put in the hands pf a
receiver, and sold for the benefit of its credit
ors. In such an event, it is held that, after
liquidating the government loans and satisfy
ing the bond holders,' sufficient amount would
be ieft over to p ay off the floating debt, said to
be about two millions.

In the House, on Saturday of last week, Mr.
Buvonsar, from the committee on the Judicia
ry, reported a bill which pi mides fur x district
and circuit court of the United States for the
Northern district of Pennsylvania. after con
siderable discussion with regard to its necessi
ty the bill was passed by a vote of ninety-eight
for, to fifty-five against it. On Monday last,
the Senate bill repealing the franking privi
lege passed the House without discussion by
• vote of one hundred and 'forty-three yeas to
forty-eight nays.
It is sweeping iu its provisions ; and the ac
tion of the Honse surprised no one perhaps
more than themselves. Tha following is the
bill i 1 • ,
Be it enacted. Sr., That the franking privi
lege be, and the same hereby is, abolished from
and after the lst day of July, 1873, and that
.henceforth ail official correspondence, of what
ever nature, and all other mailable matter sent
from or addressed to any officer of the Govern
ment, or to 7 any person now. authorized to
frank such matter, shall be chargeable with
the same rates of postage as may be lawfully
,imposed upon like matter sent by or addressed
to other parsons : Prorided, v That no com
pensation or allowance shall no* or hereafter
be made to Senators, members and delegates
of the House of Representatives, on scoount of
postage.
From the intimation given by the President
in his annual message to Congress, that it
would be unnecessary for the Senate to hold
the usual executive session, which has hereto
fore immediately followed the inangaration,wo
mat Infer that there will be very few, if any,
new appointments or changes, and consequent•
ly we may not loOk for the usual throng of
strangers who flock to the city about that
time. Bat, session or no session, ,candidates
for office, we presume, will be still numerous ;
and, without,doubt, the supply will fully equal
the demsnd.
The gentlemen who have the %inauguration
ceremonies in charge are makAg somes hat
exteniive preparations for the ck•ent. Aside
from the arrangements for a grand civic and
military display, a large structure, in which is
to be held the inauguration ball, is being
erected on the public square on which' the
City Hall now stands. The building, it is said,
exclusive of the coat rooms. and reception
rooms, will be large enough to hold five thous
and persons. The dancing hall is to be one
hundred by three hundred feet, the admission
to which is fixed at the moderate sum of twen
ty dollars, round dance and square dance fas
cinations included. -
Yesterday, at eleven o'clock, the National
Theatre was discovered to be on fire and, in a
very 'short space of time, was completely de
stroyed. Nothing but the bare walls remain
ing. Although the entire force of the fire de-;
partment was promptly on hand, their • efforts
to subdue the flames appeared4o be of little or
no avail. The great amount of combustible ma
terial contained within the building rendered
it utterly impossible to check the fire until the
entire structure was a mass of ruins. The
building was erected - in 1862 ; and, with its ad
ditions, alterations and improvements, had
cost the proprietor about one hundred and
thirty thousand dollars, on which there was
only ,about forty thousand dollars - insurance.

what I taii) , outside:that Alelit.
the action of the Mese upon .one ot
two public bi ls—especially that reg
ulating the legal rates ofinterest—
an
amonnt of argumentative talent
was displayed that was quite =-
looked for ; which leads me to con
clude that there is more than the
usual share of that kind of ability
diffused amongthe membersi Here
tofore, the few hate *Whited the
disposition and talent to do the talk
ing for the whole General Assembly.
But in the members comprising this
body the qualification to speak for
themselves, is quite general _ Talk
ing is not always the best evidence
of legislative ability ; but the right
kind of talk, and just enough of it,
frequently aids in coming to' correct
conclttgions. And it is that kind of
talk—so far as deponent has thus far
observed—that prevails in this body.
AMong the members who have
made a decidedly favorable impres
sion upon legislation thus far, I may
be permitted tb 111inie Mr. Mitchell,
of pe rmitted
Although still a young
man he has a wise head on his
'shoulders, and that alone will keep
him above the indiscretion in legisla
tion as well as in his private inter
course with the world, which so often
blight the, most promising career.
Physically he is well developed and
possesses a commanding yet not re
pulsive presence. His head is large,
resting squarely and firmly, upon hie
broad shoulders, and is such an one
as would delight Fciwler to manipu
late phrenologicelly. Whatever may
be lurking in that busy brain, it does
not fail to give the countenance a
pleasant look, and to attract toward
it hosts of friends. Whatever the
future may have in -store for him;
none can assume to predict ; but
hailing from a county whose people
have seldom failed to appreciate Into.

thename of John L Mitchell witl•in

- Many other names there are in
this bode who are daily giving evi
dence of a , superior tact in the busi 7
nest; entrusted to them, and whose
especial - qualities may be the subject
of softie future letter. Aniong that
number might be named John Ilan
cock of Philadelphia ; not the " old
original . Dr. Townsend," but one
_equally brs a ;it'd .thofe

nettles the old man so far beyond
endurance that lie is compelled to

move. " Why, you can't move that
way," said his opponent. c' WEIL I
can," said Jonathan, " because, don't
you see, I did?" John, if ho moves
contrary to parliamentary law, al
ways has an excuse ready which is
generally worse than the move.
Mr. Mahon, also,of Franklin coun
ty, has taken a, prominent and lead
ing part in the 'Aiseussion of public
queations, and has evinced a readi
ness and soundness in off-hand de
bates decidedly creditable.
Capt. Brockway, variously dubbed
"Buckalew's Boy," the " Objector,"
etc., is really one of the most valua
ble 'and discriminating members of
this body for the very reason that he
" objects." No legislation is accom
plished without his first havingrcare
fully scrutinized it on his files. If,
in so scrutinizing, he finds bills ou
their passage through thi.4 body
within the province of the courts,
yon may be sure he " Objects " it off
the calendar. With Smull's hand ,
book constantly by him, he is always
ready, in giving his reasons, to read
from the constitution 'or the parlia
mentary law, as the case may re
quire. I do not say that others
night not be equally watchful it he
were not ; but he Assumes to do it,
and, no matter from which side a bill
emanates, if the courts have power
over the subject ,matter, if in his
judgement it conflicts with the con
stitntion, " down she goes."
Perhaps I may not be trenching
too much on my colleague 'to say
that the Centennial tommission pre
sented their application for aid to
the donstrubtion of the Giand Edi
fice, proposed to be erected in Fair
mount Park, Philadelphia, to an in
fordal meeting of the houses, .one
day last week. The question, as they
presented it, seemed to be celebra
tion or -no celebration, and left its ,
solution to the liberality of the Penn
sylvania Legislature. The existence
of this Republic fora century would
seem to demand some notice and
the birth place of the Immortal Dpec
laration having been in Philadelphia
would seem to demand that in MI
city should be planted one of 'the
milestones of the ages, so to speak.:
And certainly if oar people and those
of the Republic would give suitable
encouragement to this patriotic effort,
they must also extend substantial
aid in necessary preparations for
such a grand purpose. To answer
the expectations of the millions wait
ing to hear a response from Penn
sylvania, the committee of Ways and
Means, through its chairman, Mr.
Mitchell, was a bill in place on
Thursday morning last appropriating
onp million of dollars for that object.

Exwjr.
lUimmnw, Feb. 1, 1873
ltEporrrira : The most noticeable,
feature of legislation for the past
week, is the effort on the part of
Philadelphia to get an appropriation
of $1,000,000 to aid in the, Centeno",
al celebration which is tO Ike held
there. • I think it a very laudable en
terprise,-and at the same time a very
expensive one, at, that rate, for tho
people of. Pennsylvania. We were
visited here at Harrisburg with a cen
tennial committee from that city to
procure the necessary legislation, to
take from the peoples' treasury one
million dollars In aid of that grand
enterprise. They came here loaded
with good things, such as pickles,
cold meats and abundance of good
champagne, wine{ to bribe our legis
tors to aid. thud _ with one milli on
dollars of the peoples' money, ail
lected from their hard earnings and
placed in the State Treasury for oth
er and equally laudable purposes. -
They succeeded in getting the com.._
mittee of Ways and Means, to report
a bill of thatskind v It now remains
to see whether. tlio..liPpresPlitativea
Of the people of this great State are
willing to nice anti ti hirge
to the city of Philadelphni - AN
=We have an insane
.asy
ii also deaf and dumb and
asylums. We have wag
ishocis for our soldiers' orphan*, and
a. Armes high ashooli all com
mendableind all, . wanting tild and
ahotild have it. Every joemisylVard
an should be proud cdr - the State's
patronage in these grand laid noble
enterprises.' They are a success, and
monuments of the grandeur and-lib
erality, of the pedple df this greit
State. I believe to-day . that the
Legislature of Pennsylvania ought to
appropriate, a million of dollars •to
the &Ise of comirloia schooli, and I
think the people would say amen .to
it. The common schools, of our
country are the corner stone to our
greatness as .a nation, and the palla
dium of our freedom. My views on
all great questions of that kind are
broad guaged. I believe that we
should have a normal school depart
ment 'in the centre ; or as near as
may bo of every township within air
State. The education of our children
and the development °Nur agricult
ure and mineral wealth should be
the chief aim and ambition of us all.
Money expended in that diriiction
reaches us all,' and while they are
under the fostering care of the State,
as they should be, let us have appro-
Rriaticms sufficient to push these en
terprises forward as fast as the
growth of public opinion and the in
crease of population demands. Such
a vast appropriation ;is that' asked
for in Philadelphia Of Ir : sectional
character, is calculated to create
jealousy and an unkind feeling
among, our
. people—a- spirit that
should not exist— -but rather that all
sections should be united upon the
educational, commercial and, agri
cultural greatness of our Statet The
should not be arrayed against
the west, nor the north against the
south ; all legislation calculated to
create a feeling of that kind vitould
be discarded.
The centennial of American inde
pendence. Theseare high sounding
words, and can but cause the heart
of every American citizen to swell
with pride - within his' breast. This
feeling is national; this ' enterprise
should be a. national one and Con
gress should - make the appropriation
to defray Lhe expenses, except what
Philadelphia should give by' having
it located in that city. The building
should at least be built by,the whole
people of the United States, all hav
ing an interest in it. I think froM
present indicgtions the bill will be
defeated: The country members
look upon this appropriation as be
ing so large that we cannot spare the
money; if we could, it is a national
object, and hence should b treated
as such.
On Thursday, public bill 'day, the
bill chan!ring, the rat- of interest
came up. It created .; strong de
bate and to.\_k a wide range. Tue
western members taking the ground
that money, liko any other commod
ity in the market., should be left to
the supply apd demand - to regulate
its price. This, in my judgment,
would be a very dangerous maxim or
rule. Money or capital will take
care of itself, and that is the party
that seeks this legislation at this
time. The great masses of Our peo
ple are not asking for any legielc.tion
of that kind. It is the brokers ttna
money' lenders of our State . that de
sire this. Which. claSs should the!
Logifilature favor, the money lend
ers
- who possess their millions, or the
laboring masses who are fighting the
battle of life for bear necessities or
competency? Would a - law such as
is before the Legislature ease the
present money stringeney or enable
those wdo borrow to obtain at less
rates than twelve per cent., as is con
templated in this bill? •
I think not. It would only whet
the avarice' and greed .?f those who
lend, and would result in disaster to
the manufacturing and con mercial
interests of the State. Thy present
1 rate per cent., has been stand g since
the year 1723—0ne hundred and fif
ty years. Pennsylvania, from a wil
derness, has grown to one of the
first States-in . the Union, in wealth
and population, under that lad. She
perhaps is second to none in point
of agricultural and - manufacturing
wealth., Her vast mineral and agri
cultural resources have been develop
ed, and her great and competing
lines of railroads built and put in
successful . operation. (Idles and
towns have sprung up all over her
vast domain, and perhaps . a More
prosperous and happy people do not
exist onAhe American continent to
day.
The proud position of Pennsylva
nia has all been wrought under the
present rate per per cent: The Leg
islature should be very cautions
about making innovations upon a
law that has been, on our statute
books one hundred and fifty years,
and been respected and sustained by
the great masses of our people'. A
law of this kind unsettles all the
financial business of our State, and
leaves us subject tothe appetite and
greed of the money lenders and ma
ney Shylocks of our State. The
great industrial interests of our State
should be carefully wateheei dud en
couraged by adequate legislation.
Any legislation that is calculated to
enrich one 'class at the elpense of
another, or to build up one class at
the injury and consequent ruin of
another, should be carefully avoided
by our legislators.
Aside from these two :bills there
is not much legislative news of ina
portance. We have but three or four
public bills on the calendar. Our.
„private bills, as usual, rere, a legion,
but none, I think, that particularly
interest your readers. The bill re
pealing cumulative voting in case of
electing school directors in Smith
field, has been read in plaCe, and is
on the files; also one repealing a law
of the same kind in case )f electing
municipal officers in Cant' borough.
Your members compart well with
any members in the house, in point
of legislative ability. They are sound
on all the great questions of public
