We do not allow that anyone hates swindling, bribery or defrauding the!

In speaking of contracts- While some men Lave got rich on waa and railroad contract, 1 others have failed, and test all they had. No doubt, Oakes Ames and others got rich out of their contracts on the Union Pacific Bead I but we suppow it waa aa it is in all such mat- i tera.

But we see no reason why. those who simp- 1 ly purchased the stock of that Road, whether 1 it be Mobilier or something should be held reponsibl i for all the wronga connected with the accomplishment of that work -the tuiildiug of the Union Pacific RaHroad-eimp I ly because they were members of Congress, and might have been influenced in their legia- latlon upon matters connected with that road; tut nothing' of the kind has ever happened- I It is not claimed that anyone ever has been I influenced by reason of this Mobilier stock, but then, such a thing might have happened and months are ient in inveftUraton. This Credit Mobilier investigation has but one simile on the globe and that ia the story of the old Yeoman crying over a water pool. She cot to think In that mavbe her daiirh'er might get married v.and have a baby, and the baby might run away, and fall into, that pool, and get drowned. As the story is very old this must have happened a long time ago but if such a scene should happen at this the old woman would be perfectly justi--fiable in demanding a committee to Investigate the girl on the subject, aa to her care- leftmes in letting the child get out and it would be quite as legitimate as that of arraigmng members of Congress for some they might have done, but never did.

But the simple fact that the democratic party- had said as much, was scarcely sufficient to warrant all the hulUbnlvo that has been made over this iuatter, when we take into consideration the general character of that party for truth and veracity, while speaking of republican. They have even said hard things about us, and we had sense enough to, trust to the bad character of the democratic party for our vindication and that is the way members of Congress ought to ireat the silly canards set afloat by their enemies.

That judgment has been confirmed in Judge Miller's court. And in this there seems to be what 1 termed a fitnera of things. Kea ly, 7 the alave war commenced in Judge Miller's court, and especially so far as our stale is concerned, and there it has ended.

For instance.

If Judge Miller had allowed the Habeas Corpus la the ease of Glover, it is not likely that the scenes that followed would have transpired and it ia possible that what waa termed our personal' liberty bill would never have been enacted. But he took a dif ferent view of the matter, and ruled in strict accordance with the teachings of the party to which he belongs, and so far as he could, aid ed the slave-catcher in all things. nue we are inclined to thing there are a great many republicans who are pleased at the course Senator Carpenter Is taking, are also inclined to think there are a very few who will oppose htn return two years from this time.

Their spasmodic effort to fasten corruption upon the republican party they no doubt believe will blind the World totheirown manifold sins.lt it unfortunate for theeroocracy that their hopes in this last great effort built upon a very sandy foundation. In the first crime that carl be attached to the Credit Jdobilier transaction will not equal, the stuffing ofa single ballot- box, in the palmy days of "democracy, when they were stuffing them everywhere or one such transaction as the BriJgt Crttk returns in our own state. That there are bad men in the republican party no one will deny and that there are some good men the democratic partv is equally true but the bad men do not pre-ponderate in the republican party, neither do the good men in the democratic party. iThis difference in the cliaracteristic features of the two parties constitutes the great difficulty the democracy has to surmount in its effort to fatten crime upon the republican party. Unlike the democracy, the republican party unearths its own rascals, and drags them into public gaze whereas the democratic party thrives upon the secret villainy of its villains, its repeaters, its ballot-box staffers, and over shadowing all these, its ring of thieves in the city of New York, and elsewhere.

This ring of thieves in New York for years held the democratic party in the hollow of its hand, and would to-day if it had not been knocked out of its grasp by flic republican party. What democratic paper tver gave tongue on the trial of thai priixe thieves (Boss Tweed), and his repeating, ballot stuffing horde of Hell-born impe 1 'What one failed to defend them as long as it was possible When Boss Tweed and his villainy was dragged to light, and his power broken, democracy weakened, and went under in its last stronghold. If every man who is charged with having been defiled with this Credit Mobilier stock were to be expelled from the republican party, it could have no perceptible effect upon the party, because their transactions, unlike those of Boas Tweed, have conferred no benefits upon the party. You might as well undertake to make cap ital against the whole christian world through the crimes of Judas, as to undertake to make capital against the republican party on act count of the short-comings of any one of its members, for tire reason that the party has never shown any disposition to retain a men ber after he has been proved to be unworthy But that they should cast out every member against whom the democracy should speak evil, would be a monstrously wicked proposi tion and, in our opinion, the republican party should not ia the least be Influenced in action, on account of the great clamor the democracy are raising. The democracy on this Credit Mobilier matter, occupy the position of the beasts that were holding -a meeting to ascertain what crime had been committed that had brought a terrible plague upon them.

In the course of the investigation before the committee, I beast after another confessed to having killed and eaten me women and children, but nothing was elicited that was deemed a misde meanor until a very innocent and unoffending animal took the stand, and confessed that on ascertain pocaaioe, while suffering the pangs of hunger, he had taken a nip of the grass not larger than the lip of his tongue whereupon a howl wss raised the whole convention. "Eat the parson grass I Hor rible and they fell upon him, and devoured him. Now, all the crime that can be attached to this Credit Mobilier transaction amounts to about as much when compared with the sins of democracy, as a tup of the parson's grass did to killing and eating men, women and children. There is something supremely ridiculous in the efforts of a party that has drenched a land in blood, and carried mourn ing to nearly every hearth in the land, and unstained themselves years upon the trai tions of a ring of thieves, to try and rmiae a dust over a little business transaction (of ft half dozen men) sufUcientTo cover the past transactions of their shameful career, end once more induce the people to open tiieir arsis and tike them to their bosoms, as fiMMi-h this ill tJs Credit Mobilier affair could wjfcli their robes, and makV them white.
