THE ORIGIN OF SCANDAL. ~ | Said Mrs: A, ; To Mrs-J3. . In quite a confidential way, : : o ! “ltseems to me - { That Mrs. B. ; Takes too much—something—in her tea.” ’ And Mrs, J. : o ToMrs K., : | That night was overbeard to say—- | oo And grieved to touch | Upon it much, ! : . But “*Mrs. B. took—such and such!”’ ; ‘ . Then Mrs K. . Went straight away And told a friend, theself-same day, . “’Twas sad to think”’— . ; Here came 8 wink—- “ That Mrs. B. was fond of drink.” The friend’s disgust ] : : Was such she must ; Inform a lady, ““which she nussed,” “That Mrs. B. At half-past three Was that far gone she couldn’t see!” - This lady we . g Have mentioned, she Gave needle-work to Mrs. 8,, . And at such news ; Could scarcely choose But further needle-work refuse. ! ; - Then Mrs. B, _As you’ll agrge. ‘Quit properly—she said, said she, [ | That shie would track. : The scandal back To those who made her look so black : : Trough Mrs. K.. s : And Mrs. J. Ty She got at last toMrs, A.,. : And asked her why, With cruel lie, : She painted her so deep a dye ?

" Colfax—Shall He be Impeached ? Thursday’s World contains a lebgthy article bearing the caption: *‘Let Mr. Colfax be impeached.” The World urges that Mr. Colfax trafficked in Credit Mo - bilier stock while Speaker of the House, 1867-8; that Le is to-day not amenable as a member of the 3"Sen‘g‘te; anc that he could not be tried by the Senate for-an offence corfittcd when out of the cate gory of impeachable" persons. . The grounds upon which the World demands Mr. Colfax’s impeachment by theé House are chicfly embodied in the developments mude before the Credit “Mébilier i'rfi%s&i-. gating committee on the 28th ult,the testimony then given making out a strong prima facia case of perjury against-the Vice President. “If guilty,” argues the World, “ Mr. Colfax should receive thé punishment due his great crime. If inno cent it is due alike to us and to him that that fact should be made clearly to- ép» péar." Without expressing an opinion as to Mr. Colfax’s guilt or innocence, we re: publish from the World's article the following extract : , “ We are sorry for Mr. Colfux,rand to see a white name blackened, and grieved to think that to day there is amw idol cast, down from its high place and dishonored in many hundreds of thousands of hearts throughout this country. Unless a miracle relieve him, the Vice Prisident has, in the set term of the law, sworn wilfully absolutely, and falsely in a matter mater: jal to the issue. That Issue was that he had received dividends on twenty shares, of Credit Mobilid;r stock, his property,’ cent. By ceoß TP e vere v June 20, 1868, by Oakes Ames. Upon his oath Mr. Colfax denies all this, gen-: erally jand in this particular instance. His words are: el :

“T state explicitly that no one ever gave or offered to give me any shares of’ stock in the Credit Mobilier or the Union Pacific Railroad. I have never received nor had?endered to me any dividends in cash, stock or bonds accruing upon any stock, in either of said organizations.” The: Sergeant-at/ Arms of the House swears that he cashed on the 21st of June, 1868, a check for $1,200 to “S. C. or bearer,” drawn by Oakes Ames, and Mr. Colfax’s bank account shows that on the 224 of June, 1868, he deposited $1,200 in cash’ and $76863 in checks. Leaving the $1,200 in cash for a moment, let us look at this sum of $768.63 in the light of a statement made under oath in a Pennsyl vania court, December 18, 1871, by Henry S McComb, in a suit-having for its subject matter this same Credit Mobilier. Buing asked to state the amount of dividends received by him on his Credit Mo bilier stock in the year 1868, Mr. McComb mentioned among other items this: “June 17 I received 40 per cent: in Union Pacific Railroad stock, with 60 per cent in cash, on 850 shares.” Let us suppose that Mr. McComb had received the divi. dends named on but twenty shares of Credit Mobilier stock and sec what proceeds he could have deposited with his’ banker. Fiist,a 60 per cent. dividend in cash on twerty shares of $lOO each would be $1,200; second, 8 40 per cent. dividend 1n Union Pacific Railroad stock would be $BOO of such stock. In June, 1868, the market value of this stock was 98, equal in cash to $784. Now, if Mr. Colfax received on the 20th of June, 1868, the 60 per cent. cash dividend on his twenty shares of Credit Mobilier stock, he must have received at the same time the 40 per cent. dividend in Union Pacific stock. Sellipg it at 98, he ‘would receive $784, or allowing 2 per cent. for brokerage, stamps, etc., $668.32.ii Add to this: the $1,200 in cash and we obtain $1,968 - 82, the exact amount to within 31 cents ot the $1,96863 deposited by him with his banker June 22, 1868. The conciu sion seems irresistible that Mr. Colfax did receive the stock, as well as the cash div. idend declared June 17, 1868, on Credit Mebilier stock, and is justly amenable to two charges of perjury instead of one. Possibly inquiry may develop further instances, : :

Caldwell. On Tuesday, the 4th inst., Mr. Caldwell, the Senator from Kansas, made a long statement in writing, in which he denied on oath all the assertions made: as to his expenditure of money to be elected. He wound up this statement by a solemn declaration of his willinguess to swear to it if the Committee thought it necessary. On Wednesday, Mr. Morton asked if Mr. Caldwell was still willing to make oath to his statement, when he answered that, by the advice of his counsel and friends, he would not make oath to its truth, but let it stand upon the pledge of his honor as a gentleman and a-Senator, He evidently profited by the experience of the Credit Mobilier gentlemen, whose oaths bave become the most humiliating part of their disgrace. 5

" LETTER FROM CALIFORNIA. [Number Four.} e { * Capra VaALLEY, YorLo Co, CatL, % : ‘ " January 15th, 1873. Frienp J. B. BtoLL, - o | Dear Sir :~ln my last, and in former letters, I gave you some notes and ihcidents that came under my observation while enroute from home to that sweet little town in Nevada county, Cal., called Sweeteland. This place derived its name from a Mr. Sweeteland, who was the first “enterprising miner that sought his fortune in the mines of that locality. It is, as I stated in my last, a prosperous hydraulic mining town ; but the modus operandi of hydraulic mining, the mining regions, and the climate of California, I will reserve until T have taken you through the entire line traveled over; even througa the Golden Gate, which is close on our right as we ride from the ety of San Francisco to the Cliff House, on the Pacific coast, six miles west. The “éate is open,” and an invitation extended to all natidas to enter, but by their side are thé Boys in Blue, with 4mple’ fortifications scrmounted by the “bull dogs of Uncle Sam,” standing ready to close them at the first signal of danger. . After spending ninedays in Sweeteland, which included two Sundaysand Thanksgiving day, at my old friend Warner's we had the pleasure of partaking of a very sumptuous thanks giving dinner; and. to me that.day was truly a day of thanksgiving and rejoicing, for we reverently felt thankful for health, friends, food and raiment—for the comforts as well as the necessarigs of life which we then and there enjoyed. £

On Monday after the second Sunday of my stay in Sweeteland I rose early in the morning in order to take tne stage conach for Marysville, which passes close to Mr. | Warner’s house. ‘A good, warm breakfast was prepared by Mrs. Warrner to which, aided by my new California appetite, I did ample justice. ' Just about the time I was dispatcbing the last biscuit and cup/ of good coffee, a voice was heard saying, “All aboard for Marysville!” so, immedi: ately on went overcoat and hat, and hast ily bidding my friends good bye, with satchel in band, I made due connection with' the coach and found a good seat by the sid® of a genial fellow traveler, bound, like myself, for the co'uut‘y, seat of Yuba caunty, distant about forty miles. The first half of the road was Jver a rough, ‘ mountainous country. Sometimes as we. - were winding our way arouad the mountains, both in asceridiog and descending, ~we would pass deep gulches close to the roadside that iooked perfectly terrific; es. pecially when we were on the downward grade with the rubbers tightly drawn:and the horses going at full speed, making -short and difficult curves in the road and passing now and then large freight teams in tbeir way up the mountain, In fact, in Indiada we would ibipk that it was -yery sharo driving and hazardous riding: but as the olrl] adages say, “All is well that ends well,” and, “Praise the bridge that carries you over safely,” so' we felt inclined to praise driver, horses and coach; the form‘er‘ two for baving 6 skillfully conducted themselves, and the latter for _having stood up so manfally—just as all good coackes do when they do net capsize and spill out all the valuables. _ Having safely made the descent—for w_fbich we were'very thankful, my friend seated Ly my side confirming his thankfulness with an oath—we came to a broad, 'l"i‘ch -valley, wfi‘ich, judging from appear—ances, rewards well the husbandman who cnltivates its soil. The ‘tarmerswere buasily éngaged in plowing and sowing.: The winter is their scedtime here. They continue putting in wheat from the beginning of the winter rains in thé'latter part ‘of November until the middle of February. But we must oot linggr here. From _the base of the mountains until we reached Marysville we passed over a very good road and dined at our place of destination at about 4 o'clock, P. . :

Marysville 4s one of the prettiest towns in the State, and, as already intimated, is the county seat ot Yuba county.: It is situated on the north bank of the Yuba tiver, with a population of 5,000. This place was first cettled in 1849 and named in honor of the only white woman within its limits, Mrs. I\;my Covillana. The chief | beauty (';f_‘Nlarysville, like that of many other towns in California, coﬁgxists in the shrubbery with which the town is beatifully ernamented, thoagh there are many elegant public buildings and fine residences in the city. The town carries on an extensive trade with the northern part of the State and is classed as its fourth com mercial town. The city is lighted with gas and is supplied with water from an artesian well three hundred fect. deep.’ The water is elevated by steam power to a reservoir from where it is conducted to all parts of the city. This is about two miles from Yuba City, which issituated on the eastern bank of the Feather river, just above its junction with the Yuba, and is the county seat of Sutter countyThis county was first settled in 1849 and named after Gen. Sutter; ' the old pioneer at whose mill race at Coloma, El Dorado county, on the south tork of the American river, on January Igth; 1848, gold was first discovered in California. . On the sth of December we left Marys ville' for Sacramente, passing over the Califorpia & Oregon Railroad through a ‘ very nice part of the State, a distance of about fifty-two miles. The principal towns ‘pagsed through were Whateland, Sheri‘dan, Lincoln, and Junction, where the California & Oregon Railroad- connects - with'the Central Pacific, about eighteen -miles from Sacramento City. : ! We arrived at the latter place in due 4ime, and leaving the cars we stepped inso.BB omnibus and were in a few minutes "Safely landed at the Golden Eagle hotel, here we arrived in time for dinaer, and after partaking of which, we hunted up our olﬁ?Ohiq.;ﬁen&, John Miiton Rhodes, after whom and Jobn Milton- Briceland, g&m Francisco, I called my son John .
