The Credit Mohilicr and UieTcnusj Iranla
Legislature.
A wtnbcr of the CanbtitulinHitl Con
vpii l ion some days ago stated in a speach
that the Credit Mobilirr bad sntiglit to
procure a charter iu the Legislntures of
New York and New Jorecy, but the
price demanded there by the members
for snch legislation was too high for that
organization. It then came to the Penn
sylvania Legislature, wl.;eli gave it a
charter fir 59,000. Tliis charge made
by nun named Boyd Las been denied.
Jacob Zifgler, editor of Ziejhrt Drm
orrnt, who aeeisted in gMittg the credit
mobilier throngh the Legislature makes
the following explanatory remarks :
The sllrgation made by Mr. Boyd,
tlmt $50,000 were expeuded in proenring
the charter from the Legislature is an en
tire miMnke. Wo do not bblieve there
was one do'lar expanded for any ench
purpnfe. One thing i certain, beyond
even tite Pf-mbKnce of doubt, and, that
is, neither Gen. Puff Green, Hon. Pavid
II. Tortir, nor curf elf ever gave a dollar
to either Sct;at0!8 or lleprc?eutativc3 for
thi-ir vote on the passage of tie bill.
We were the three persons who shaped
he bill and Lad it presented to the Leg
islature ; we advocated it on the broad
merit of being the most feasible means o(
uniting the Atlantic and Pacific sea
hoards by rail ; developing the rich min
eral resonrces of the people, and advanc
ing the interests of the country gener
ally. After we had passed the bill, we went
to Philadelphia and organized the com
pany. - The war broke out and the whole
matter was lost right of. Duff Green
was in the South attending to a sick wife
and shut out from all communication with
theXorsh. Hon David IL Porter was
in Ilairiobnrg and in feeble health. We
his rkillful manipulation any majority,
from twenty thousands npward was pro
curable for any set ot Democratic candi
dates. Yet Mr. Tweed's pawer in poli
tics was founded in reckless corruption
and glaring frauds. The best of his
partisan friends knew that .from the first.
They did not scruple to employ him and
his agents freely, nor did they close the
doors of their aristocratic organizations
against him. On the contrary they gave
him therght hand of fellowship, fir the
sole reason that he was politically indis
pensable The counUnaucc given him
by Democratic leaders made him a pow
er with the people, who willingly follow
ed his lead And it was only when po
litical opponents published. the crimes cf
this powerful Democratic leader and pre
sented the proofs that hia employes found
courage to joiu in the pursuit which was
to end iu his conviction and overthrow.
And it is well to remember that tbe lead
ing organs of Mr. Tweed's party were
first to deny the astounding facts expos
ed, and tbe last to wheel into liue and
take np the pursuit.
ftow the responsibility for the domin
a; ion of Tweed belongs to the leaders of
the Democratic party, who found him
nseful and not afraid of d'rt, in the first
place, and to the masses of that party,
who blindly followed where their leaders
indicated. By this we are, or ought to
be, taught that vice never doaiitiates any
where without the consent, and, as a rule
not without the collusion of men who
make some pretence of virtue and honor.
Turn now, if yoa please, to the condi
tion of affairs in Kansas. It begins to !
look as if the venal sconuurtlism set np
there by tbe dominant party in 1S56-57
had bred an incurable distemper, effect
ing men cf all parties alike. It begins
to be questionable whether Kansas was
ever honestly represented in tbe Senate
of the Uuitcd States. The privilege, of
the honor, or whatever men may name it
of representing Kansas in the Senate
would seem to be priceless. We are ask
ed to believe that a man has paid as
much as ninety thousand dollars for that
privilege, not to name a higher figure.
And we are publicly informed that anoth
er man deemed it profitable to pay as
much as eight thousand dollars for a sin
gle vote in the Kansas Legislature. Does
any roan for a moment suppose such
wholesale bribery on tbe one hand, and
by the trip. In the evening he received
a nnml'er of his friends who called to See
him and seemed in excellent spirits.
This morning upon coming to tbe
breakfast table he spoke of going to Lew
istown for the purpose of attending the
funeral of his friend Judge S S. Woods,
this afternoon. Mrs. Geary remonstrated
saying that as be was fatigued, it would
be better for bim to remain at home.
The Governor had just finished prepar
ing some food for his little son, who was
sitting by his side, aud raised his bead,
which fell baek and he expired in a few
moments. Physicians were called in but
too late to be of any service.
General Geary was a devoted husband
and affectionate father, and Mrs Geary
aud her family have the sincere sympathy
of our citizens generally in this sudden
and unlookcd for dispensation of Provi
dence May the God of the widow and the
Father of the fatherless take the afflicted
ones under His sheltering arm, and may
they be couso'.ed by the thought that
their loved oue has passed to that realm
of bliss whure daa'.h never c jtns, a:id"
where suficriug and sorrow are unknown
The deceased connected himself with
the Frst Presbyterian church of this city
soon after he entered npmi bis first term
of office, and was a much loved and high

tion.

Right.
The Governor has not completed his
appointments yet. In addition to those
already mentioned, ho has appointed
Maj Hart, of Montgomery county, and
Mr. Porter, of Cumberland couuty, clerks
in the Secretary's office, and A (J. Kein
ehl, Deputy SefcreUry nf the Common
wealth. The Deputy Attorney General
and Adjutant General are uot yet ap
pointed. The Governor and lady gave their first
public reception last night It exceeded
anything of the kind ever given iu liar
risburg. Tbe attendance was largely
composed from ' tbe circles of our best
people in the State and city. But I shall
not play the part of "Jenkins" on this
occasion. ' '
There is a faint disposition here now
showing itself in favor of adopting the
new State Constitution as it comes from
the Convention, without submitting it to
a vote of the people This was done in
1790 What think the people of your
county about -it I Those' who favor such
a course, do so, they allege, on the ground
that if it be submitted to tbe people di
rect, the corrupt politicians aud corpora
tions get a chance to defeat it, or at least
the most vital sections of it. They are
hearty iu their advocacy of tho Conven
tion adopting it for the people.
It may be of interest to your readers
to know how many offices there are on

villainous proceedings which Congres is ! the concision is irresistible that tho peo
r.ow eniged ia investi"atin. We wer? ph? are also corrupt if not positively theu
induced t sell our stock for $275 nnder
the representation that the project would
never amount to anything in the then
condition of the charter. Subsequent to
the sale, we were informed that our thir
ty paid up shares together with the stock
subscribed, would have realized $1,100,
000. .
We do not believe one dollar was even
fflVred to r; ass the bill by the New York
or New Ji-rsey Legislatures. The Leg
islature of Peunsvluauia was the first
importuned for its passage, and they did ! Se9 without protest. 1'eruaps it seem
negatively. But the responsibility rests
with the leaders first, and then with the
followers. There must be men of prom
inence in Kansas who abhor the corrnp
tion of Legislatures, and who will de
nounce the men who corrupt them in set
terms. But we cannot close our eyes to
the very probable fact that these men
knew all about it years ago just as well
as they know it now. Perhaps, like the
Democratic leaders in New York, they
found it convenient to permit such out-
it without the paymcut of a dollar.
Another matter. The idea of fleecing
the Government of the United States,
by the mobilization of its credit ia the
construction of the Union Pacific rail
road, was conceived by tho New Yoik
parties, and by them carried to euc'u ex
tent as has forced Congress to investigate
the conduct of all concerned in the bu?i
nrss.
Putting the Kespnnsibilily Where it Be
longs. What is written uudcrthe above head
ing by the Xorlh American is worthy of
the tnojt careful reading and reflection.
We are not about to pronounce this
the most corrupt era the world has ever
known, because multitudes who never
bestow a glance upon the paet will have
done that already ; and because every
period in the world's history has in its
turn been decreed such bad eminence
Human nature is pretty much the same
in every ago, and deviations from the
right line of honorable dealing will doubt
less continue to shock and grieve right
minded men while the world stands. But
disreputable practices are just now hav
ing a full consideration, and it seems the
right time to difenss the queetiou, 'Who
is responsible for this stale of affairs ?"
We read that, upon more riged examina
tion, the frauds practised upon the treas
uries of New York city and county seem
likely to reach forty millions instead of
the eighteen millions heretofore set down
as the sum. Men who knew Mr Tweed
when he was compelled to purchase for
cash, having no credit, are astounded at
ed necessary to maintain the ascendency
of a clique. No matter what induced
such men to make no sign, lby cannot
shirk the responsibility. Tbey may not
have incurred any penaltyt but the peo
pie of Kansas must now shake off their
;npioe dependence up6ii leaders and or
ganize in the interest of fair dealing in
politics a9 in all things else
The crimination and recriminition, car
ried on by men who seek to uncover the
crimes of political opponents while they
excuse or cover np the crimes of their
own partisans, must go for nothing in
this fight. The people, who, now that
facts are becoming plentiful, are to be
held responsible under our system, can
not bo hoodwinked, nor can tbey afford
to permit these betrayals of trnst to pass
without meeting out condign punishment
to the betrayers.

A Washington correspondent of a city

The science of alchemy, long since

At tbe outset, then, we may affirm that

I notice that the. Constitutional Conven

The convention does seem to be tardy in

The bill that was reported by the
Ways and Means Commute, giving the
Ceutennial Committee one million dollars,
was reported back to that committee,
and again came forth with only five hun
dred thousand dollars. It is alleged that
the committee was packed ; only such as
were known' to be favorable to tho bill
were notified of the first meeting, con
sequently the bill went back to commit
tee. When brought np it was made tbe
special order for next Thursday. There
seems to be a good deal of feeling against
it at present, and unless a change takes
place soon, I doubt whether even this
amount will be appropriated.

citizens as a domestic, remaining in that
capacity uutil a week or ten days ago,
when she loft, with one of the children
accompanying ter, n.r a two flays visit
to her friend?. The parents of the child
waited for more thnn a week for the re
turn of the woman. She not returning
at that time they became nneasy, and the
mother of the child started after them,
finding them in New York. The women
stated that she was on her way home
and desired to accompany tbe lady back
again. The mother of the child, how
ever, declined having anything further to
do with her. and after securing her little
girl returned home, a much happier, and
it is hoped, a much wiser woman.
