CONTRARY to the expectations of tie friends of honesty in official ppsition, the potorious treasury thicf, Boss Tweed, was not convicted—the jury, which is heliev to have been packed in waoed’a”inrer'est, having failed to agree. | ‘ e b » - Our acknowledgmients are due the Hon.

How ‘graltifrying that such infallible journalists may yet once in a while be found in this degenerate age. . L :

It really looks as though the republican legislators-of New York were getting into a quarrel with their Governor, Gen Joho A, Dix. His message, in the first place, had too much of the old democrat’ ic ring to suit them, and |his apppintments are vpenly denounced as a positive insult to the party which elevated the “perverse old gentleman” to the guber natorif chair, I -

SENATOR R. M. SLATER, representing the counties of Jolinson and Morgan, has returned all pﬁsscs gent him by the sever al railroad Compunies whose lines lead into the city ot Indianapolis.

. “Tur failure of the jury to convict Boss Tweed of gross fraud in his orficial trans: s\(-ti()ns; when no reasonable doubit ag to his guilt can possibly exist, will greatly encourage thieves in public positions, It will strengthen them in the belief that though public indignation may be thoronghly aroused for the time being, courts and juries may in the end be relied upon to throw the mantle of charity“over their corrupt shouide s, L . e e - “Tne NATIONAL BracoN" was the title f & weekly journal published in the city of (ndianapolis by several colored gentlemen, for the benefit of the negro race. We are sorry to motice that tie paper, after a very brief existence, has been compelled to suspend publication. The seven thousand negro voters of In - dian2, who carried the State for the re publican pnrvty; do.not seem to haye aps precinted the journalistic cfforts of their abler bretiiren, and no important election pending jast now, the white Grantites did not deem it essentidl to keep up the colored organ by a. hheral contribution of the alinighty greenback.

Of course the hon orable gentleman protests his entire inno cence; denounces Senator York a Judas Iscaribt; says he was made the victim of a villainous conspiracy ; promises to expose the plot before a judicial trihunal, and uttersa kind word tor his successful rival, Mr. Ingalls, Pomeroy is certain. ly ina bad predicament., Heisa sly old fox, has dune many rascaliy things, and the only wonder is that be allowed him . self to be cavght after so brillisnt a ca reer as the champion corruptionist of the ‘West. ‘

"New Divorce Law, The divorce bill pdssed by the House on Tuesday of last week will probably be favorably considered by the Senate, fs & similar bill was favorably reported upon by 8 committee in that body on the same day. Tbe bill limits the causes for divorce to seyen, as follows: Adultery, impoten cy, abandonment by either party for three " years, cruel and inhuman treatment, fail. ure of the husband t» provide for two years, habitual dravkenness for three years, or cdrviction of an ¥ infamous crime. The petitioner for a decree. must be able to prove a bona fide residence in the State for two years. Parties against whom a Judgment of divorce has been rendered without other notice tlian publication in | the newspapers may have the same opencd at any time within two years, so far as relates to the care, support and custody of the children, and they may farther. at any time within two years after the rendering of such judgment, have the same opened and be allowed 'to defend, as well on the granting of the divorce, as in the disposition of property® and sllowance of all e

THE CREDIT ‘MOBILIER SCANDAL. Points Elllclted_;y the lnve.l'ugnuon.v " There are two committees investigating the Credit Mobilier case. Oge of them ‘has for itschairman Congressman Jeremiah M. Wilson, of Indiana ; the other Judge Poland. of Vermont, :

The Credit Mobilier - investigation is fast reaching a close. The Wilson Committee has ordered a sub-committee to go to New York and Bosten for evidence, and the Poland Committee will prepare their report this week. Mr. Colfax still declares his ability to vindicate himself, and has asked to appear before Judge Polani’s Committee at the same time with Mr. Ames, : .

Mr. Oliver Ames doesn't prove so at tractive on the stand as his more amiable brother Mr. Oliver has a shocking- bad memory. He can’v ¢ven renfember how long he was President of the Union Pacific Railroad. e has a very bad attack of “I don’t know,” but it is astonishing how readily that is cured in the Congress Committer. Tt breaks np in homeopathic doses, i : ;

When the Union Pacific Railway want ed some -additional legislation in 1864, they appropriated for that purpose, Alley tells us, $112,000 for such proper oxpences as might be found necessary. In view of late disclosures, it is easy to in agine how necessary were ‘these expenses, but to believe that they were proper is qaite another thing. :

Oliver Ames. once President of the Union Pacific Railroad, confessed on the 23d ult, that that portion of ,the road which: the company contracted with Oakes Ames to build, included 188 miles which had already been built, and for which the Government had n@ndy paid ; that the' Credit Mobilier made an enor mous profit on it, and that the dividends which it soon afterwards declared, were drawn from that source. %

The principal event in the Senate on the 28th was the action of Vice President Colfax in vacating the clair to request thit a commitgcc of the Senate be appointed to investigate his conduct. Mr. Thurman demolished the request by showing that if the Vice President be open to trinl it must come by a formal impeachmeht by the House, in which case Senators would sit as judges, and it there tore would be unbecoming for the Sennte to take any preliminary stepe in such an investigation. -

The principal witness before the Wilson Committee on the 31st ult,, was Mr. Horace F. Clark, President of the Union Pacific Railroad, who was examined at considerable length, relative to the Onkes Ames contract, and its connection with dividends by the Credit Mobilier, Wit ness stated that he had heard ¢f $50,000 being puid to Gen. Tohn ‘A. Dix, under the Presidency of Oakes Ames, and heard it said it was while he was Minister abroad. He. «lso eaid there was a pre cisely similar amount with John J. Cisco, of New York. ‘ .

The N. Y. Zribune is of opinion that of all the Congressmen who bought Cred it Mobilier stock, Senator John A. Lo gan ot” Illinois- is the most lucky. His name was not on the famous Ames Me Comb memorandum tbutvcume but during the first excitement ; so he had no oceasion to make a denial like the rest, and (like'the rest) be faced at last by proofs of purchase, He bought his stock ; paid for it in dividends, and got 8 small bal: ance. - What he now thinks about the morality of the transaction is not of so much moment, considering he has escaped a temptation to indulge in false swearing. Mr. Ames lays his _hand on his heart and solemnly assures us that Mr. Logan is the very last Congressman who was concenled under his coat.

The Chiieago (Tl'ibunc truthfully‘(m~ serves that there is something appalling in the certainty with which each day's investigation reveals some new page in Coagressionui dishonesty. Mr. Horace F. Clark, Presidzsnt of thé Union Pacific Railroad, while showing bgf()rc the Wil gon Credit Mobilier Committce that he had never permitted the expenditure of a cent. to influence the action of Congress, unfolded the shameless manner in which Congresswmen solicit corrupt advances. Mr. Clark testifies that through Ben But ler's private secretary some unknown Cdngressman menaced the Union Pacific Road with adverse legislation, which he was told, with the usual circumlocations, could be forestalled by a liveral expenditure of money. In reply, Mr. Clark assured the go-between that not a cent shoald be forthcoming for that purpose. The next day the threat was put in execution by the introduction of a resolution into the House to compel the Union Pacific to pay the interest on its bonds. The gentleman who has the honor of hav ing presented it is' Gen. Negley, of the Allegheny (Pa.) District—of course, an intensely loyal Republican. i

Abclishing ociober Elections, It gites us pleasureto record the fact that the great State of Pensylvania first gives shape to & reform of the abuses in cident to the pernicious system of hLolding general and local elections on the same day, and of halding State elections in October, o that in Presidential years mischievous influences attach to their re sults. The Coostitutionsl cony ention sitting in that State has framed an amend. ment to the State Constitution fixing the date of State elections on the "Tuesaay following the first Monday in November, and that ofcity and township electiong ‘in February, : S Indiana should follow suit. -We are convinced that two thirds of its citizens are heartily disgus‘ed with our 'present election laws. :

The Jury that Ae:]t;lt—;ed Boss Tweed. . The telegraph informs us that the counsel for the prosecution of the champion thief, Boss Tweed, stated the other -evening that the panel of jurors fg(')fm‘ which the jufy had been selected, was prepared in the intérest of the defendant, One of the jury, he says, was what is koown asa bummer or loater, was pro vided with a vew suit of clothes especial ly for thic trial. Anpother boasted that he would make money it be were on the jory. And still another had served fin _prison, in Virginia, for violating the revenue laws, though pardoned out, Thege things were not discovered until after the jury had sworn the prosecution, They bave information that some of the jury. were tawpered with, and it is probable will take suitable action thereon,

CREDIT MOBILIER, | | Some friends and néigbbors are as}:ing ‘what wrong there can be in Congressmen taking stock in the Credit Mobilier, or apy other organization whereby money may be made or earnsd by them, as well as by other persons, They claim to be at least of average ability and perception in other matters, but this is another thing, They take pains to proclaim their lotellectual avd moral obtuseness in this case, and it is to be feared that it isonly be. cause certain of their idols are coming to grief that they attempt to play theartful dif)dger. » !

But, taking them at their word, it may not be amiss to endeavor to enlighten them. Take the case of an Indizna Congressman. It was asserted during the late political campaign that he, with other Congressmern, was implicated; in taking stock in the Credit Mobilier, and legis tion in its interests was affected thereby. It scemed to be, in all itsincidents, something wore than the ordinary electioneer. ing gossip or lie. When it was found that the charge was taking hold in the minds of the p‘eople,{all “the more noted ones implicated, declared it a falsehood in the strungest language they could com® mand. Mr. Colfux, in a speech at South Bend, with reference to this, said : “Neith ‘er Oakes Ames nor any other person cver gave or offered to me, one share, or twenty hares, or two thousand shares, in Mobilier or any other railroad stock, and unfortunately, I bave never received the value of a farthing out of the 270 per cent. dividends, nor the . 800 per cent. dividends, in casb, stock and bonds you bave read about every day for the past ‘month, nor 100- per cent, nor 1 per cent., nor one tenth of 1 per cent.” . L The charges were ‘ré'it'uratedi and s constantly denied; and when Congress came in session, it was impossible to avoid an investigation. Mr. Colfax, before the committee appointed, under oath, admitted P what' be hai denied at Seuth Bend, that he did take stock, but still asserted he had never received dividonds. That is, Mr. Colfax admitted, to ‘speak plainly, that he told a lie at South Bend, Now, tbese persons whodo not eece any harm in a Congressman making money outside of hiy salary, may not see any wrong in. a Congressman tclling a lie; but from the high moral standpoint Mr. Colfax viewed himself, and from which he wisbed to be viewed by his countrymen, it was a wrong. | ‘

But Oskes Ames finds his memn. strengthens his memory, and says, Colfax had a - certain amount of money as divi - dend paid him by check on the Sergeant at Arms of the Scnate. Mr, Colfax ns serts, under oath, that he hus never seen the check, has never received a‘divid=nd, The Sergeant at Arms on’ being sworn, says “that on a certain day he paid that check,” and on the fnllnwing day that same amount is deposited by Mr. Colfax in Bank at Washington Unless Mr. Colfax can prove that the Sergeant at Arms has sworn falsely as well as Am:s, and that the amount of his deposit was obtained from another source than already indicated, this is perjury. Canunot these men see wrong in a Congressman

perjuring himself? | At the opening of the ingestigation; McCowb showed two letters from Ames, the first saying “‘be feared no investiga tion here,” (at Washington). and he “had placed the stock where he thonght it would do the most good;” the second saying he “wanted that increase of Mo bilier stock to sell here,” “we, need more friends in this Congress, etc.,”) und aféerward by letter, or in person, Ames asked him in reference to Colfax’s. in’ring out Washburne's resolution of inquiry into Union Pacific R R. matters, if “he didn’t think the investment paid in Coltax’s case,” With the light we now have, Mr. Colfax allowed his rulings to be affected by his connection with the Gredit Mobilier. This is bribery. Can ‘there persons see no wrong in a Congressman belog bribed, or in bribing another ? The people have always supposed that the intent of a Congress was to .legislate for the common good of the country, and the pay, to those cnﬂstituting it, sufficient to place them above the need of neglecting her interests for their own. In earlier times, the honor was of more consequence tham the remuneration ; and in return, the elecied gave his best, gifts to his country’s interests. Now, it seems Congressmen can ask what harm is there: in making a little money agide from-our salaries ? and they have echoes through out the nation. The country’s well being is neglected, jeopardized, even bartered away, that such men mav prove the old proverb that “the love"of m. ney is the root ot all evil.” ‘This moral obliquity in both second and principal is too great to be pitied.

CONGRENSIONAL PROCEEDINGS, JANUARY 29 —ln the House, the bill for the admission of Colorado was laid on the table by a vote of 107 to 61. A report was received from the Credit Mobil ier Committee that J. B. Stewart of Washington refused to ‘answer questions put, on the ground that the answers would call out confidential communicarions between counsel and client, which were privileged The committee moved for an order that the Sergeant-at Arms take Stewart into custody, subject to further order of the House. An amendment to have Stewart brought forthwith “etore ‘the House to show cause w'hy he should not be committed to answer for contempt 'wag'l__ agreed” to, and the res lution as amended adopted. e

Stewart, the witness before the Credit Mobilier Committee who refused to answer questions, was brought to the bar by the Sergeant at. Arms and beard in defense. He cloimed his privilege as counsel cxempted him from obligation to answer. A resolution was then adopted that his answer was insufficient and that he be considered in contempt. ‘A resolution was adopted providing for the retention of Stewart in custody of the Sergeant.at Arms until he shall have appcared before the committee and answered all proper questions. JANUARY 31.—1 n the Senate, a biil was introduced authorizing the Northern Pacific Railroad to bridge the St. Louis River. ‘A joint resolution proposing a constitutional amendment for the election of Senators by direci 'vote of the people was introduced.

STRrAUSS, antl 70 others, | 5 In accordance with the spirit _of, this petition, the Councll, after mature deliberation and a clear understanding of their powers in such cases, unanimously passed the following Preamble and Reso lutions: "

- WHEREAS, A Petition signed by a cum ber of citizens representing five eightbs «f the taxable property of the town of Ligonier, has b.en presented in due form, praying for the purchase of a Fire Engine, at a cost not to exceed twenty five hundred dollars, and . ; ~ WHEREAs, Mr. R A, Jenny, agent for the “Babcock self-acting Fire Engine,” mapufactured by. the *“North Western Buabecck Fire Extinguisher C 0.,” proposes to this Board to sell a “No. 3 Babcock ' Eugine” for the sum of twenty-five hundred dcllars, payable in one, two or three years, and warrants said engine to be equal to the representations of the Company, therefore be it. L Resolved, That the Committee on Fi_pance and Fire Department be, and they “are hereby Instructed to immediately negotiate for the purchase nfa No. 3 Engine. Resolved, That the above named Com - mittee be instructed to report at the next regular meeting of the Board as to the steps taken'in carrying out the ohject of the foregoing resclution. : ' From the above it wll-besseen that the neeessaTy steps have been taken toward sccuring the cbject of the petition, and ‘that the Committee, who have the matter in charge, are instructed to negotiate for an engine, without any unnecessary delay. _Twis intelligence we doubt not will prove highly satisfactory to our citizens and | property owners, who have long felt the necessity of providing the town with an engine, and of organizing an efficient Fire Department. With a Babcock Engine, in the handsé of compétent and trusty men, and (he Hooks, Ladders, etc., mounted upon a suitable truck and mauned by a good volUnteer company, we can, in a little while, bave a Fire Department of which the citizens of Ligonier will justly feel proud, and which will prove ot incalculable benefit in offering successful resistance to the devastating element, With reference to the character, efficiency and adaptability of the Babcock En—gine to our wants, we are not able to speak as one having full authority. But from what we are able to gather from numerous testimonials from Chiefs of Fire Depart‘ments in the many towns and cities where they have been adopted, now in possession of the Company, and from the brilliant record they i;nve_. already established for - themselves, weare stror.gly inclined to the ‘opinion that it is just the thing for Ligonier. | And, as a brief description of the machine, together with the advantages which it possesses over the ordinary hand water engine, will be of interest to our readers, we append the following extract from an editorial which appeared in Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper, of Dec. 23, 1872, in its report of the suocess of the Engine in.its test trials betore the Board of Fire Commissloners of New York City : { -Ist. 1o its Spurriciry, 1t dispenses with com. ‘ plex machinery, experienced engineers, reser-

Senator Caldwell last Tuesday made his defense in a general denial of having used any money to influence his election, He admits having paid_money to induce opponents to withdraw in his favor; but generally adopts the new moral code that the use of money to obtain an election to the Senate is not illegal, dishonest; or disgraceful. In the Court of Common. Pleas at Philadelphia, last week, Judge Ludlow delizered a decision in a case involving some novel points. One Williamson was charged with desertion by a woman whom he married in Ireland sixteen years ago, His defense was that the English statutes invalidated the marringe on account of his being a Protestant. Seven children were born of the union. The Judge, in an ad mirable cpinion, said the English statutes on the subject being in violation of all morality, were not recognized in this country, and renderec judgment against the would be bigamist. . Of four hundred and twelve passengers on board the ill fated Northfleet, which was run down on the coast of England, by an unknown steamer, only ninety seven are known to have been saved. The steam er paid no attertion to the emigrant ves sel after the collision, but the poor, help less sufferers were left to their fate, and the steamer procecded on her course. The English people have offered rewards for the discovery of the steamer; and, if it can be ascertained who the officers are, they should receive severe punishment. The neglect to save the drowning hundreds is equivalent to murdering them. A correspondent of the World, at Sacramento, has unearthed a horrible item. Some days since a negro died—such was the supposition—and after a due time of two or three days his body was placed in’ a vault. Recently the vault was opened, and the coffin. brought out tor regular interment. Attention was attracted to the circumstance that the strong screws were strained loose and the top pried up. Won deringly the coffin was opened, and there was found the body turned and twisted, every line showing most frightful agony, the fuce downward, one hand clutching the hair of the head, the other outstretch. ed with the nails driven into the wood. The teeth were clenched, the eyes glazedand distended in wild, frantic stare, andl the feet contracted and curled.

N 'THE BOOK ABOUT AFRICA. | ‘ There is no part(of the world so interesting .to | Christendom a 8 the continent of Africa now is, Dr. Livingstone, Barth, Cumming, DuChaillu, and others had givern it a peculiar interest already, ‘when the wunderful expedition of tpe New York Herald, under Henry M. Stanley, and its marvelous success, gave to the topic the attention of all men | everywhere. Here was a success of telegraphy and of the press; superior to the power of one of the most powerfal and wealthy governments, and a demonstration of modern progress impossible to gainstg)y. % : At thistime; therefore, the desire to know as much of Africa as can be known. is very general, if Dot univerzal among intel Igent peopie. 'L'o supply this demand for knowledge, the Union Publishing Company, of Chicago, have just issned a ‘volume MEXPLORATIONS IN AFRICA,” which, as we Judge from advance sheets that we have had the pieasure of seeing, will be, and deserves to be, unusually and uncommoniy popular. The book is very comprehensive in plan, and with sketches of the lives of the noted African trave:ers—with quite full biographies of Livingstone aud Stanley—desleriptions of the remarkable country, auima-{s, vegletation, rivers, lakes, ect., ect., of a continent so long unknown ; with Dr Livngstone’s own account, remarkably gr{{phic, of his E_i.scuvery of the true |gources of the Nile; and Stanley’s full description (of the singniar “ Land of the Moon” in’ Eqnatorial |Africa. -With all this, the book'gives an amount of. interesting matter and information, leaving | nothing to be desired bly those who want to know | all about this portion of the globe, =5 = A.
