An articlo to this of- foot was copied into Tur OntoAdo TrinoNe from the Now York ¥World, as it was into numerous othor papors of tho country, and was subsc- quently corrected. Wo havo no roason to bo- lovo Bonator Logan guilty of any such offence, and tho Benator is mistaken in supposing (if ho doos so suppose) that Tur Cuicaco TRIBUNE ever invented any such charge. Oonsiderablo local intorost attached to the act which rocontly passed tho Massachusctts Legis- lature, giving authority to the City of Boston to loan money to parties to robuild on tho burnt districts, os, prior to tho passago of tho act, it was mado the subject .of correspondence be- tweon Mayor Medill and the Boston authorities. The noxt chaptor in the history of the measuro is n movement to gat out an injunction sgainst tho city to prevent it from loaning monoy—upon tho ground that the act granting the suthority is unconstitutional. As tho demand for the loan thus far, howeover, doos not indicate asny -snxloty to procuro money through thatmo- dium, tho nocessity for an injumction docs not Boem very pressing, whilo, on the other hand, the fact that money can bo procured at 7 por cent is having o porceptible offect upon tho lonn market in checking high rates. — Touls V. Bogy, of St. Louis, clocted United Statos Bonator, vice Frank Blair, is & Lard-sholl Democrat, of Southoern proclivities at the out breok of the war, but ko gave only his sympa-~ thies to that side, and continued, as now, prom- inently in tho active businoss life of his city. Ho was the straight-out Democratio candidate for Congrass in 1862, and so far held the party voto ngainst the inroads of Frank Blair that Blair was beaten by S8amuel Xnox, who carried . tho coutest into Cougroes and got tho seat. Mo was zlso tho straight-out candidate in 1852, whon Thomas II. Benton, making = fight of his own, was oloctod to the Lowor Honse, In Lis card, 8omo weoks ago, offering himsolf as & candidato, Nr. Bogy called attention to his unrequited sorvicos in theso and othor yoars as lendor of n forlorn hope, and ha urged that Lis solicitudo for Democratio integrity entitlod him to consid- eration now, ovon ab the hands of Liberals, Mr, Bogy is of advanced years,—wo think ovor 60, Ho was once Mayor of 8t. Louis, beforo the war, and was for n time Commissioner of Tudinn Af- fairs under President Johnson. Mr, Dawes' tostimony before the Credit Mo- biller Committeo shows that Lo bought ten sharos of stook from Ames, received ono dvi- dend of 85 por cent, and sold the stock back to Ames upon loarning that Duff Greon had com- menced & lawenit againet the Company, In sottling-up with Ames bo allowed the dividend -to bo counted so that Le only got back lis orig- inal 81,000 and 10 por cont intorest. It doos not gesm to have ocourred to BIr. Dawes that thero was any impropriety in his holding the stock until the scandal narose dutipg the 1ast political campnign. ‘Tho improprioty wae then rovealed to him wo strongly that ko denied virtually the whale story, though the form of words which he om- ployed might bo technically truo, Mr, Dawos hos stood as high in tho estimation of the coun- try ng any publio mnn these many yenrs, Ilis conneotion with Oredit Mobilier was cortaiuly vory Alight. It ho had told the wholo truth when he first delivored himsolf on the subjoct, bo would certaiuly atsnd in bottor shape now.

Jay Gould and his clique, in tho Iate cormor against Daniol Drow, got control of n majority of the common stock of tho Northwestorn Road, and their plans now nro evidontly to change tho logielation of this State go as to gob immodiate control of tho road. Tlio Olassification net of ihls Btats pro- vides that railrond companies may elect Direo- tors for ono, two, and throo yoars, Tho Northwestorn Company necepted this pro- wision a8 o rule of thelr mauagement. As it was not rotronotive In tholr caso, it was n porfoctly fair and straightfor- ward trangaction. ‘Cho oporation of this law is opposed to the schomes of just such speculntors a8 Joy Gould: It makes railrond managomoent more stablo, and it provents cliques from gotting possossion of o road for one election, holding it for o yoar, flecoing it, and thon retiring., Itis o sufficlent reason why Jay Gould and his sort should want the Inw changed, and the latlor fact is also o suflicient reason why the Logislature should rofuso to changeit. The lawisa good ono as it atauds, 'The peoplo of this Stato want no Jay Goulds or Jey Gould oporations horo, and thoy want no Jay Gould lobby agonta at the Btato Capital., Tho peoplo will, thoraforo, look with oxiremo suspicion upon any member of tho Leg- islaturo who votes to changa the Inw in tho in- torests of Now York speculators and sharpors, REOIPROCAL TRADE WITH CANADA. The offor is virtually, though not formally, mado to us by the people of Canada to oxtond tho navigation of the lakes for steamors and sail vesgels of largo sizo to Doutren), froo of cost to tho United States. In roturn, thoy nék re- ciprocal trade with tho United Blatos. Reci- prooity with Canada is nob an untried experi- mont. In 1854, o treaty was mado by which that sort of trade was established. A list of cortain articles of tho growth and production of each country was made out, and it was agreed that theso axticlos shiould bo admitted froo of duty into ench counntry. ‘That treaty was carried out to tho mutusl advantzge and bene- fit of both countrics, not only in tho profits of wuntaxed oxchango of com- modities, but by drawlug tlo two peoplos closer tognefier in thoee bonds of friendship and mutual interost which are produced by commorcial in- torcourse. 'To many sections of this country tho troaty was o grost blessing, ne it was undoubtedly to Cnnada. Undor this troaty, Oanada sont into the United Btatos Iumber, bar- loy, fiel, worsted wools, bituminous coals, frosh moats, vogotablos, wintor whont, ofls, and salt. In return, wo gent thom & largo vaerioty of our productions. Nova Scotin sont down to Boston snnually large consignments of conl, and fish, and fish oils, and tho vessols carried back with them flour, and bacon, cotton goods, and boots and shoos, Into cortain parts of Onnada wo sont butter and eggs, and flour, and other parts of Conada sont into othor parts of tho United States procisoly the samo class of articlos ; tho mutual advantage being in the great saving of transportation by facilitming exchanges between noighborhoods. : When tho war broke out in 1861, the paople of Canada wore quito a8 decidedly in favor of the North as our own pooplo were. Volunteoxs came over tho border to fight our battles, and capital cama hither to be invested in our bords, The Cenadians, however, were compelled, a8 noutrels, to shelter tho ngonts of tho Coafedor- ates, and eventually public sontiment thero fol- lowed that of Grent Britain.. Tho result was, that tho Bt. Albans raids, the Coursol decision, the blockade-runners, Magon and Blidoll, the Alnbnna, Blenandonb, Vallandigham, Breckin- rldge, and tho Canadians sll, got confused to- gother in tho public mind, eud the OCanadians were pronounced our enomios. Loyalty de- manded tho ropeal of the treaty, and it was re- pealed upon grounds purely political. ‘Tho repoal of the treaty was injurious to Can- adn, but it was equally so to the United Btates, That this offoct was moro visible in Canada than hioro was becauso it way there concontrated in a small spaco, whilo in the Unitod States it was diffused over a much larger arca, In Californis, Orogon, Toxas, Florids, and Loulsiang, the of- fect of the ropoal was nob soou or felt; but in tho Btato of Now York, in New England; and in tho Western Btates, it was folt soriously. Tho theory that, as thereave but four millions of peo- plon Canada and forty millions in the United States, we would buy more than we would soll, 16 subject to the other rule, that we would neith. or buy or sell unloss todo o were profitablo. Relative population has nothing to do with tho matter. If four millions of our people wieh to trado with four millions of Caunda, let thom do 803 if tho trade bo profitable for the four mill- ions, it must bo profitable generally to the wholo forty millions, : One objoction to reciprocity is, that if i6 bo rofused, the Canadian Provinces will bo com- pelled to seok unnexation a8 a commerelal noces- sity, This is n mistuke. 'Cho ropeal of tho tronty hus had the offect to nationalize tho Brit- iah Provincos. Priorto 1864, they wore strangors to onch othor, having no community of interest, and being widely soparated in territory, Thero was 1o link connecting thom save n common dopendoncy oun Groat Britain, Tho ropeal of tho troaty, in 1864, by forclng thom to trado with oach othor, forced them into a fod- eration, in which thoy formed s natfonal goverument, with goneral laws, 1n which the locul interests of all were bound togothor. f o political union with Canada {s wanted, hos- tilo loglulption on our partcanonly serve to Thoro can never bo annoxation until thoro ia hoarty filendsbip betweon tho itwo people; aud this friendship can best bo eatablished through the sgenoy of olose com- estpblivhos agrloultural or industrinl schoold ju L riba, Go fox ahorh olear, AN TH@7%0 for rxoou I, mercial fntoroourse. ‘vadn will alwave follay thoso chanmels whero it is least obsiruoted. ‘Thore nro no obatructions to tho trade botwoon tho Dominlon and' tho Unitod Btatas savo what in offered by tho Custom 1ouses.

Tho * Credit Mobilor" was tho namo given te a powerful corporation, or- ganized in Franca in 1863, for advancing monoy on movabla proporty. Tho namo wes adoptod ovidontly with the purposo of affording a roady dofinition of tho object of tho assoclation.

It nssisted mate- rially in ‘tho construction of raflwaya and the promotion of mining schemes. Among othor outorprisea in which it woe notably intoroatod woro tho Governmont lonn on account of the: Russian war, tho Grand Contral Railway Com- pony, and tho Goneral Omnibus Company of Paria. At ono timo, it advanced -250,000,000 francs, and at suother timo 875,000,000 francs, to tho Frenoh Government, Its buainess was so gront in 1855 that, it doclared a dividoud of 40 per cont on its capital. While it was manifestly tho means of doing much good in France, it ovontuilly falled. - Tho Introduction of the terms */ Credit Fon-+ cler" and * Credit}Mobilior” into Amorlca aro duo to Mr. George Francis Train, o establish- ed o * Credit Foncier with Omahalands, which “ho hawked about the country some yeara ago.

This iawhat ‘¢ Credit Mobilior’ moans, in the modorn American and Congros- sional uso of the word. Tho title is not inappro- priato.

THE CALDWELL INVESTIGATION, Tho Caldwell bribory Investigation, now pend- ing bofore the Benato Committes on Priviloges and Lloctions, brings up alresh tho report of tho Joint Committeo of the Kansea Logielaturo mada about o year ngo on the subject of tho corrupt practicos nttonding tho eleotion of Mr. Caldwoll to tho Sonato in 1871, and upon which the- - prosent Benatorinl investigation is based. The allogations of corruption made in that roport are fully substautiated by the evidence alroady taken. Tho ouly diffor- onco between thom is that tho evidence glves us tlio dotails of specific acts which wero stated genorally in .the Logislative Report. - The Re- port stated tho broad fact that at the election both of Pomeroy and Caldwell a large sum of money was used and nttempted to bo used in bribing mombors of the Legislature to voto for them. With referenco fo Caldwell, whao is alono directly affectod by the pending in- vostigation, tho Legislativa Roport alloged sub- stantially that Mr. Caldwell, in tho canvass, had, among other frionds, Lon T. Bmith, James L. McDowell, and Thomas, Carney; that Caldwell promised BMcDowell the Leavenworth Post Oflico, then held by a soldier’s widow; that Smith gave Carnoy & check for $7,000 two days Vofare tho oleotion, and that o drafs of 810,000 on tho Kansas Pacific Railway Company tvas caghed about the same timo. Tho report furthor alleged that Oaldwell claimed the Com- pany promised to give him $30,000 ug ita sharo towards tho oxpenses of lus election, as o bonus for his influence as Benator, and that Caldwell importuned the Company for this money, and, after considorable trouble, obtained it, and exponded it on the Legislature; that Bmith alone paid out $20,000 to mombers of the Legislature, upen the promise that it should be refunded to Lim by Caldwell; that Caldwell | promised Fodoral appointmonts, right and lott, and, aftor his olection, declared that it had cost him §60,000 ; and that he offered to pay Olark's oxponsos, in onse Clark would withdraw. Upon this genoral showing, the Legislative Committeo framod its indictmont, declaring that ‘“Alexan- dor Caldwell used bribery and other corrupt and eriminal mnnnh, by himself and his friends, with his full knowledgo and consent, to seouro his clection in 1871 to the United States Senate.” This report was submitted last February, and, moanwhile, nearly a yoar haas clapsod before the accused party iy brought to teial, The timo bas been fmproved by Caldwell and his friends in ataving off its prosontation to tho Benate, and congoquont action upon it, and trying toblunt its forco by overy artifico known to corrupt politi- clans; but justico, although it hms operated very slowly, 8 nono tho less completo, end tho truth of tho rovelations made Dby the Loglelative Committce has Dbeen com- plotely vindicated alrondy. The gen- oral ollegations of corruption made in that Report aro givon in dotail in tho evidonce beforo the Benatorlal Committes, Wa aro now informod not only that o gross sum of monoy wag exponded upon tho Leglelature to secocuro Caldwoll's oleotion, but wo learn also how much was glven to each member, who got tho money, and this, with so much definitonces, thab it is not difiioult to patablish o regular markoet prico of the cost of.mombors of the Kansas Loglula- ture, whon & Benatorlal olection fsup for sale, Tho tostimony of Judgo Bpriggs, formerly Btato Tronsurer of Ilanans, ' shows that the prices of members rangoed all tho way from §500 to £32,000, acoording to thelr respective dogroe of cupidity, Bome men sold tholr votes for a mere mess of pottago, but tho most of them would scorn to doliver their votes for loss than $1,000 por capits. Bomotimes & mombor would aak the outside orice of 5,000, JANUARY 15, 1873, but n champagno suppor aud s litilo moral sun- slon always brought him down to rensonnblo torma, Thore woro somo high-toned individuals, who woulll not mcll their votes oulright for monoy, but had no seruplen to accopt wino sup- pora nnd other little’ convldorations of a fostive nature. Ouo friond of Caldwell’swent into o spec- ulation to buy votos for §1,700 each, that Is, o wag to have 81,700 for ench voto he bought, and might mako all tho profit ho conld, IIs mado n vory good thing out of it, na at ono timo Lo had thirtoen mombora for salo. The allogations in tho Logislative Roport, that the Xanens Pacifie’ Railrond Company had used money to ' ecouro Cnldwell's election, aro confirmed by the toatl- mony of T.J, Anderson, tho agent of tho Com- pany, who admitted tho fact hotoro tho Commit- toe, The nallogations of bLribery contained in the indlotment aro fully sustained, and tho tosti- mony show that politics In Kansas arc rotten to tho core, - Even the most corrupt carpot-baggers in. tho Bouth aro quits outdons, and can show no such disgracoful record ns that which attended the olections of Pomeroy in 1867 aud Caldwell in 1871, 'The country will now walt with some impntionco o sco whether tho Benato will vindicato ita roputation, with €o clear o cauo of corruption boforo it, by expolling tho guilty portios from tholr seats, Thero s mo botter time for action upon thoeso bribory cases, whoth- or thoy Involve eclections, Credit Mobilier, or what not, than now.
