SNow, six inches deep, in this streets of

Mrcichauges are calling
upon Nast of Harpers Journal of De
bauchery- to furnish caricatures of the
laredit . Mobilier bribe takers. The sub
ject is withourdoubt one of the best ever
offered, but as the mission of that sheet
appears to be to defame honest men and
'shield the thieves, it will be us Bless to
look for anything in that line from that
source.
Ix is suggested, since Tweed end Col
fax were so nicely caught by their bank
accounts, that tile National banks be re
quired to burn all memorandums accom
panying deposits. Lied this plan been
adopted some years ago, in all probability
the $1,200 deposited by Colfax, two days
afterhe received a check for that amount
in dividends from Credit Mollifier, would
never have been brought to light.
THZ New York Times was iery'efficient
in pushing investigation in the Tam
many frauds. It was used as a campaign
document by the Republican National
and local committees, and sent broadcast
MT the country. It was delivered free
by till postmasters, and pushed in the
face of Democrats everywhere. It is now
meek as a lamb on the Mobilier frauds,
whem its immediate friends are concern
ed. It has nothing to say.
Tin Chicago Tribune in speaking of
the present Vice President of the United
States, uses language the like of which
has, never bees employed toward a Vice
President since the days of Aaron Burr.
It says
No man during this generation has been
more conclusively prdren a corruptionist,
a bribe taker, a liar, and a perjurer, then
Schuyler Colfax. There is not a loophole
of possible escape.
TILE Washington Chronical, Senator
Harlan's papar a few days ago, got off' the
following concerning Senator Pomeroy :
"Those who know him intimately and
well believe him to ba one of the truest
and purest of our public men, as they
know him to be one of the most goner-
Otte
This is what they use to tell us about
Colfax. Wilson, and other shining lights;
but where are they now ?
MR COLFAX has failed to appear before
IV Investigating Committee to explain
the circumstances that implicate him not
only in corruption, but perjury. He has,
however, found time to lecture in Phila
delphia, and also in Baltimore, upon
scltsluu 1% UV, murals: Porn causes suffer
by such advocac3, and it is the height of
effrontery for a man laboring under the
most serious auct.unexplained charges to
beassuming the part of a public instruct
or. He ought to remember that example
is better than precept.
No one ever heard of bribery and cor
ruption id the elCction of United States
Senator until Simon Cameron came upon
the• State. He was smarter than Pont
eroy in not dealing directly with put--
ich&seable material. When one vote was
necessary to his election and Bbyer of
Elk county was elected as the victim, he
was effered and agreed to accept $5OOO,
for his vote, by one of Cameron's friends.
Boyer did not vote for him, and he thus
lost hie election by one vote.
IT is p lain to be seen that somebody is
hurt when Grant's Own, the New York
Times pronounces the C. 31. investigation
"a tedious farce," and thinks "the coun
try is getting tired of it." The Times did
not think that way when it made its raids
on the Tammany thieves. The
thieves and bribe takers and their organs
are the only ones who are gettip tired.
The people want the investigation to go
on and farther, they want the guilty par
ties punished.
Puorourrosur, representation was giv
en great prominence in the inaugural
message of Governor Hendricks, of In
diana, and a bill has been introdncel into
the Senate of that State applying the
'principal to the election of Commissioners
in the different counties of the Common
wealth.- An Indiana exchange says :
That in Illinois, the, first conspicuous
beneficial effect of this Ilan appears in
the fact that it has increased the actual
representative basis of the House of Rep
resentatives from about 247,000 to ur
ward of 407,000; an increase in the
number of Toter"' actually represented in
the House .of tuore than forty per cent--
This fact is one of enormous significance.
TEE Fatale Debt statement for Janu
ary shows another increase during that
month of over. four hundred thousand
dollars, which added to the increase in
December,. $1,684,307, makes over two
millions in two mouths, the very first two
monthsafter the re-election of tirant.—
It will be remembered that the excuse
offered by the organs for the iDece.mber
increase was that the accounts of revenue
officers had been delayed and that tlie
statement for February ist., would show
a handsome decrease. What excuse will
now tie given °to 'calm the fears of the
tax-payers remains to be discovered.—
This 'may be considerate as a coonn
drum for.t4e editor of the Montrose 'Re
publican to answer.. 4 little more of_lits

Cat:Jen Death of ex-Governor John
W. Geary.
11..mtursuuno, February B.—Ex-Gov.
ernor Geary returned home beim New
York last evening, 4 apparently good
health. At about nine o'clock this morn
ing, while at breakfast with his family,
and in tho act of helping his little son to
something upon the table, his head
sud
denly fell back, and by the time his wife
. _
could get to his side, and before medical
aid could be summoned, he was dead,... It
is supposed that heart disease or apoplexy
was the cause of his death. The city is
excited, and much sorrow is expressed.
The lllkon- of the Credit ?Rohner.
On the 18th inst.-, in the Constitutional
Convention, Mr. Boyd of Montgomery
stated that the Credit Mobilier had been
put through the Pennsylvania Legisla
tare for $50,000, whereas the New York
Legislature had refused $300,000 for the
job, and the New Jersy Legislature $150,-
000.
Thietras denied by Mr. Smith of Lan
caster, who said:
The true version of the story was that
a gentleman of a speculative turn got the
bill passed when the Pacific Railroad was
beicg talked of. The name of the com
pany was then changed to the "Pennsyl
vania Fiscal Agency.' The charter,etock
book, ect, were then stolen and taken to
New Tork, where the real Credit Mobil
ier Company was formed. The contriver of
the scheme got 8270 out of it instead of
£41,100,000 which would be his "jest"
share.
We have seen a private letter from a
gentleman very prominent in financial
circles, from which we were allowed to
make the following extracts:
I thought it might interest you to know
something nearer the truth than is given
by the two very intelligent gentleman
who referred to the Credit Mobilier in the
Convention. • * • The name by
which it became a law was the "Fiscal
Agency"—or a term signifying the same
thing. It was afterwards changed to
Credit Mobilier by Durant, when he get
con trpl. The onginal charter was ob
tained by the late Duff Green, who went
to Ilarrisburz for the purpose and stayed
there till he accomplished it. The char
ter not was obtained with a view to
the construction of the Union Pacific
or uny other Railroad. General Green's
scheme was too large to be comprehend
ed within any such limits as that—as any
one would see by looking at the provis
ions of the Act with' its varied and com
prehensive powers. The adventurous
Colonel Scott never conceived anything
one-tenth as big.
"The 'exult was that Gen. Green's
scheme was so immense that nobody
I would take hold of it, and the grand pro
ject was still-born, and it remained inani
mate for many years until revived for a
I more ignoble purpose. _ _
"I hate no belief th it Duff Green ever
paid a dollar to obtain this charter, or
that a dollar was ever paid to obtain it
by anybody else. In the first place Green
had no money to pay with ; and in the
second place, that waa not his way of
doing business. And it map be well
a : e —2 .1... 1..11.111. a1 ry
of his control, he received any thing for
it."
It appears that the charter was offered
to the Union Pacific Rail Road to be used
for a "Constitution Company," at its or
ganization, but was not bought nor
thought to be of any value to that
Company by the directors. Some two
years afterwards, as we are informed, it
was bought by Durant, of the indomita
ble Train for a large sum—even as much
as twenty thousand dollars.
Sach is the true origin of the Credit
Mobilier scheme. As for the rest of its
history. is it not written in the lament
able speculations of many prominent per
sons, and in the eternal disgrace of Col
fax and Wilsop, and other pions leaders
of the Radical party ?—Pittsburg Post.
THE New Orleans Picayune, in com
menting upon one phase of the present
political difficulties in that State,remark - s;
"convincing proof of the utter falsity of
the charge made by Duren's Governor
that frauds were committed by Conser
vatives at the last election, is to be found
in the feet that the United States Dis
trict Attorney, Beckwith, has not even
attempted to bring one of the alledged
culprits to trial.
The United Statesdttorney-General is
sued peremptory instructions to have all
such cases tried. This order was received
here in the early part of November, 1872;
and yet, on the Ist of February, 1873, not
even the pretense of an endeavor has been
made to comply with the mandate that
was issued on the mendacious statements
of tLoso friends of '3 higher order of eir- -
ilization."
LIE New York Tribune commenting
on:the action of the House on Thursday
in restoring the names of southern pen
sioners of the war of 1812. says:
"The House was manly and generous
yesterday, in restoring to their place on
the pension rolls the Southern survivors
of the war. of 1.811 That they should be
stricken off that brief roll in a moment
of patriotic passion was natural enough,
even though it may-not have been certain
that they voluntarily sympathized with
the rebellion; but it is too late now to
discuss what peculiar views these aged
veterans of another war had in 113 1 ;2.
Nobody wiff taunt Messrs. Butler, Bing
ham, and Willard with having courage to
say now for; Southern men good words
-which they would not have dared to say
during the late campaign. We are hearti
ly glad that these gentlemen can honestly
declare there is no longer any use in pol
ishiug up the memories of the rebellion
in order to keep them bright."
HUNDREDS of people were frozen to death
in England during the late cold spell in
that country. The winter of 1872.73 has
been the most severe experienced in Engr
land within the last third of a century.
Jobbery at atorrbburg.
The Harrisburg correspondent of the
Philaaelphia Press has been at work ran
:sacking the records and showing that the
expenses of the clerk of 'the Senate for
:1872 for keeping is repair the Senate
chamber and four committee rooms to be
$28,019 10, and the House $19,688; in
all, forty-two thousand seven hundred and
eight dollars, and this, it should be rem
embered, does not include any additional
furniture but only for refitting and re
pairing the old. In olden times this
would have been almost enough to build
a new capitol. The same correspondent
also tells us that the Senate has a Libra
rian who last year- received for service,
$l,OOO for extra compensation in taking
charge of the archives $l,OOO and for
four months' extra services $1,200.
And this is not all, for we are still fur•
ther informed that in addition to this
strm of $3,200 paid to S. S. Childs as
Librarian of the Senate, Jacob Styers is
also paid as Librarian of tile same body
8400,'which makes the expense of taking
charge of five hundred volumes amount
to $3,600 per annum—more than is paid
to the Librarian and assistants in charge
of. the largest library in Philadelphia for
twelve months' services, while the prince
ly paid Librarian of the Senate are not
engaged three months in the year. 01
course all these irresponsible and reek
less'officials are loyal to the ring, but it
is well enough to let the people know
how the money goes.
The Bankrupt Law
The Importers' and Grocers' Board of
Trade of New York have adopted resolu
tions protesting against the repeal of the
bankrupt law. They declare the law a
necessary and salutary measure, as equal
and impartial treatment of creditors iu
the whole land is demanded by the inter
ests of trade. The bankrupt law pre
vents the fraudulent transfers of assets
to favored creditors, as was formerly too
frequently the practice of dishonest bank
rupts. For honest debtors they declare
the law to be a great beneti t, as it pr)tects
them against oppressive claims of unscru
pulous creditors. It gives creditors an
opportunity to investigate fraudulent
transactions, and to bring the guilty to an
account. The law promotes mercantile
morality, and produces fair colipromiiee
between debter and creditor in greater
number than was formerly the case.—
`They therefore regard the repeal of the
act as a calamity to the business world.
FRED. DOUGLAS is in a bad tenor be
cause of the lack of appreciation by the
Republican party of the services of the
colored people in the late campaign. In
his paper of last week he says: "The col
tred voters who labored with zeal and ef
ect for the success of the Republican par
ty in the late Presidential campaign have
to take back'seats in the Northern States.
We knew of an instance in one of the De-
q.nor,ll - Cl4 ELGIII,
ter having proven his ability under the
civil service rule.i, was denied an appoint
ment for some trumped-up reason outside
the rules of the civil service, which left
no room to doubt that the non-appoint
ment was , r , n account of coloC
Flow dm Fund 141111 'Cubed
The much talked of Credit Mobil er
not only purchased Congressman, but it
paid fo: them out of profits obtained by
the most daring frauds. It appears that
after the Railway Company had built one
hundred and thirty eight miles of the
road, Messrs. Ames, Alley, and Durant
of the Railway Company entered into a
coutract with Ames, Alley, and Durant
of the Credit Mobilier Company, under
which contract they received precisely the
same compensation fur building these
hundred and thirty eight miles of road,
(already built,) as they .did for the same
number of miles they actually construct
ed. This piece of road cost, originally,
$3,450,000; then the new contractors were
- paid $6,900,000 for pretending to build it!
By such means were raised the funds used
to corrupt members of Congress.
After such a lesson of depleting the
public treasury, of bribing members of
Cougrev, and of diagrucing the whole
people in the eyes of the civilized world,
one would fain hope that a quietus would
be put on all schemes by which the gor.
eanment would he dragged into a part
nership in so called public improvements.
Any internaeddling of government with
what are purely business matters will
always give rise to fraud, robbery, and
public scandal. What pregnant proof
has. been afforded by the disclosure* of
Oakes Ames, of the absolute necessity of
the country falling back upon the good
old doctrine of strict coastruction of the
powers of Congress.
~.. Congress owes it to itself and to the
people to lay a heavy hand on all concern
ed in these iniquities. The people call
for justice, Mercy would be only offering
inducements to the commission of great
er evils.

It is gratifying to find that the Demo
crats of Philadelphia are not disposed to
coalesce any longer with this creature,
and have wisely ruled him out of the city
committee, which action has been en
dorsed by the Central Democratic As
sociation of that city. “Aluttv" threatens
vengence, that ho and his Fourth ward
crowd will net distribute the tickets en
dorsed by the C;ty Committee, in all of
which, considering his telegram . to Dia.
trict Attorney Swoop of this city on the
the October election that "I have kept
faith, Philadelphia will give twenty thou
sand majority" the Democratic party will
be benefitted thereby. Let the same in
fluence that has ruled him out of the city
affairs endeavor to keep him out of the
State contentions of the party and if they
cannot accomplish it, the convention it
self should put him out. He is a dis
grace to the party and injures it when
allowed to take part is its deliberations.
Let him remain with the Hartranft crow..
for whose success he labored so incessantly
in the late campaign. The decent De
°racy don't want him.

The Plea of Insanity
In homicide caries, is the subject of a
bill introduced in . the Legislature by Sell
°tor:Wallace. If the bill shall become a
law; uo defense on the ground of "insani- ,
ty" can he made, unless by special plea
beforehaiullto that effect, yenned by the
oath or . affirmation of the counsel for
the prisoner, or some other person ac
quainted with the facts upon which the
plea is based, and this affidavit is to state
concisely the evidence relied upon t) sus
tain the plea. This appears to be a de
cided improvement upon the loose prac
.tice which now prevails, under which a I
homicide, whenever all other defenses fail
him can become insane long enough to
secure au acquittal from a ecluded jury.
and then in a few weeks become of "sound
mind" again. The other sections of the
bill provide for the proceedings after the
special plea and affidavit are put in. The
trial is to be postponed ; a commission
consisting of two doctors experienced in
the study and treatment of insanity, rind
one lawyer, are to be appointed to exam
ine witnesses, take testimony, and report I
their opinion ; their report is to be sealed I
until the trial comes on, when it is to be
opened and read to the jury.; it is not,
however, to be considered us conclusive
or binding, but as "persuasive evidence,"
subject to further examination, cross-ex
amination, and 'to the decision of the
. jury. On the whole, the bill seems to
have been well thought out,, but as its
purpose is to bring about a desirable new
practice, those wlie have isivon uttootioat
to the subject should write to Senator
Wallace or to their representatives.
Judge Finletter promulgated some good
sense, or well as sound law, concerning
the insanity plea during his charge in a
homicide case a day or two ago. "In
, sanity," he said, "is not innocence. If
the defendant could have resisted the int-
I pulse, he was guilty. It he was alone
governed by an evil heart and bad pea
-1 sions, and they so found, they should con
vict him. But if his iusanity was so
great as to control his will, he is not res
ponsible, and should be acquitted. The
jury must not conjure op an ingenious
i doubt to escape from rendering an IlJ
pleasant verdict but the doubt must be a
reasonable doubt, such as would cloud a
man's mind in transacting his business,
and must arise from the evidence. - -P/ii/a.

Such, then, is the latest ejection from
that Etna of Republican corruption which
seems latterly to have burst, after long
smouldering, into po:tentous activity.
One piece of damning rascality follows
so close upon another in the Senate, and
so twiny of those who sh inld form the
jury are proven or probable criminals
themselves. that we fear "Sribsitly Pore
is fore-ordained to escape. Yesterday it
was perjury in the Senate t to-day it is
bribery: and to-morrow some new form of
fty may still further distract the hon
es .ten on the jury, and by adding to the
number of known criminals increase that
silent but powerful opposition which now
impedes every effort for punishment, puri
fication, and reform. Strong, however, us
to this undertow, the ultimate expulsion
of the other Kansas Senator seems to
have been assured, and a faithful and
fearless demonstration by the• sane , ele
ments which have almost prevailed
against Senator Caldwell may result in

IT will be r"membered that daring the
last contest fir Colermir of New York,
general Dix, the Radical candidate for
that r:sponsible office, was charged with
aving received a large amount of money
front the Pacific Railroad for service in
negotating its bonds in Europe, and that
the tennsacti9ns occurred white he was
United States Minister to France. This
was dented, in the same manner that the
charges against Vice-President Colfax
were repndiated. But General hie has
been put in a bad position by Clark,Presi
dent of the Pacific road. Clark, on a re•
cent occasion,at Washington,testified that
Mr. Dix received a fee of fifty thousand
dollars, as above stated; tha; be failed to
sell any bonds, but kept the money. Can
the General explain this matter, or will
he promise to do so, like Vice-President
Colfax, and fail to keep his promise?
Tli E Radical Governor of Florida is not
content with the election of Conover to
the Senate from that State. Conover does
not belong to the Governor's wing of the
Radical party. Besides, Conover received
the votes of twenty-seven Democrats,
which fact has a fishy flavor in the esti
mation of the Governor. But Conover
was chosen,and Gov. Clark now promises
to punish those Republicans who voted
for hint in the Legislature. How, is not
stated. Perhaps, in attempting to apply
the lash to the backs of these men, he
will expose himself to still more severe
castigation.
