Tt appeats that the roport that Senator Pome- roy biad mot with & railroad accident near Crest- line was not true. BSenator Pomeroy has been particularly unfortunate within tho last fow wocks. . Mr. Btillwell, one of Governor Bovoridgo's nominees for Railroad and Warchouse Commis- slonor, hns seon fit to withdraw from the flold, and the Indications now aro that‘two other resignations will soon bo placed in the hends of the Governor. e — Mr. John I, Blair, of Iowa, gave somo curious tostimony, yeslerdsy, a8 to tho way railronds aro texed in Jowa. The Wilson Committee ox- amined soveral witnesses, but nothing new was clicitod concerning the Sioux City Rnilrond gront. ——— e Mr. Job Stovenson, who instigated an inquiry as to cortain transactions in Sioux City Railroad stock, for tho avowed purpose of eatching Bpeakor Blaino, has failed, and feels vory much mortified. He thought e could st a back firo that would enable tho Credit Mobilier men to eacapa. rm—— Thera is & prospoct that the decisions of Judge Durell, in the Louislana oloction cnses, will bo brought before the Buprome Court ot its noxt session. The Senate Committeo on Lou- isiann Affairs will confino their preliminary roport to tho quention of the clection of Prosi- Qential Elector: Whilo England is profoundly agitated at the advanco of Russia into Contral Asia s affocting her, commeroial interests, Runsin-has recontly nlso beon aroused to tho fact that England nlso is soriously threatoning hor commerco by her rail- road advancoes in Porsis, and the trade-sociotics of 8t. Potersburg are holding meotings to con- pidor how thoy can best counterbalaunce tho ad- yantages England may securo by o monopoly of the Persian trafic. With this end in viow, and foresoeing that tho Euglish plan is to oponn line from Tehoran, tho capital of Torsia, to Constantinople, thoy aro slready beginning to bring & pressure to bear upon tho Russisn Governmont to construct lines into Porsia, —— AMr. Oskes Ames {s somowhat dilatory in mak- ing his reappearanco in Wasbington. Ile al- lowod his ton days' leave of absoice to oxpiro without returning. Can it bo thet Mr, Oakes Ames is still deliberating unon what courso he shall purauo with roferouce to tho furthor developmonts that aro expocted from the Credit Mobilior investigations ? 1o announced, a fow dayn boforo loaving Washington, that ho now proposed to tell, not only the truth, but the wholo truth, abont Congrossional cennection with Credit Bobilier. Ile nlso intimated that he hnd the receipts from the Congressmon to whom lie paid dividends, and promised to briug back with him ell tho memoranda and papoers necossary to ostablish the nsgortions which ho hies mado or might make In future testimony. This {6 plainly the course for Ames to pursuc for hlsown good, Congress will not daro to pasd over Lils conduct. Now the question with bim is, whothor lio shall submit to oxpulsion without company, and allow himeclf to be mado tho scapogoat of tho whole affair. The Ohloago produce markets woro generally strong yestordny, excopt wheat, Dlees pork way quiet aud stoady at $12.06@12.10 for cash, and £12.80 gollor Marol. Lard was quiot and ashado onslor at $7.035¢@7.85 por100 Ibs cash, and §7.60 @17.65 sollor March.

Drossod hogs wora in good demand, andfirmor, closing at §4.75@ 4,80 por 100 Iba for hoavy, and 84.90@4.95 for light. Ilighwines woro stondy at 87ido por gallon, Tlour was dull and firm. Whent whaa moro active, but 1@12(0 lowor, closing tamo at §1.2234 cash, and 812434 soller March, Corn waa in good domand, and 3o higher, closing at 81c cnsh, and 81%¢c sollor March. Oats were in good demand, and }¢o highor, closing at 2030 cnsh, and 27)¢c sellor March, Ryo was dult and stondy ot 053¢e, Darloy was quiet, but flrmor, advancing 20, and closing at 700 for No. 2, and 0o for No, 8. Boof cattlo wera comparativoly stondy at £5.00@6.850 for good to cholce, and £2.60@4.76 for inferior to medium grades. Hogs woro in active roquest, but prices were about Go lower, £4.00@4.16 boing the ruling pricon. The ingenuity of tho carpot-baggor has never beon queationed ; It is only oxcoeded by his im- pudonco. But & Congreseional job hng now boon devoloped which must have combined all tho in- genuity and all tho audacity of all tho carpet- baggers togothor for ita concoption. Itis nn- nounced thnt tho Bouthorn States are to como Lofore Congress and asle that the United Btates Governmont shinll guaranteo their debts, amount- ing in the aggrogato to about $125,000,000. This is tho impudenco of the proposition. Tho in- gonulty appoars In tho 1cason given why thoso Stato dobta should bo assumod by the Govern- mont. Tho Governmont s askod to pay theso debts because it thrust upon tho Bouth a class of men—the carpet-Loggors—who squandered tho poople’s money. The superb effrontery of the proceeding will appear when it is remom- bered that it is these same carpot-bag Govorn- ments of Southorn States that now ask Congross to pay tho debts which they havo contracted, in ordor that they may proceed to contract mow ones, thoir own credit having beon irroparably destroyed. Wo doubt whother history, anciont, modern, or contemporancous, can furnish a par- xallol for this confidence in legistative corrup- tion., 'The Gorman Government has ontered upon the work of rectifying its frontier line of do- foncoupon o glgantic sealo. +Rastadt (Baden), Mindon (Wostphalia), Erfurt (Thuringon), Wit~ tomberg (Saxony), Steilin and Colborg (Pome- rapia), Qraudenz (Eastorn Prussin), aud Neisso and Cosel (Silesin), gra no longor to be main- tained ns fortifiod towns. Bchlestadt, Lichten- borg, Lutzolateln, Maranl, Phalsburg, Bitche, and Dresdon will be suppressed as fortified places Immediately, The places which aro to ba brought iuto tho new system of for- tifieetion nre Metz, Diedonhofon, Strasburg, Vieux-Brisach, Mayonce, Cologue, Wosel, Qlogaw, Tharn, Toson, nud Konigsborg. Bramborg, Dbitherto an opon town, will olao becomo n fortress. This concentratos the lino of defonca on tho western and eastern frontier, and on tho coast of tho Baltic and North Scas, Tho Government hasalao definitely decided upon the construction of s canal which is to connect the North Sen and thoe Baltie, and the plans of tho work have already been drawn up. Meanwhilo, Russia is becoming somowhat alarmod at the Inst movement, which will make Kiel, now the headquartors of the German fleet, « placo of groat importance, and which, also, the Russians four may oxtond Prugsian influence in tho north of Europe. Mr. Horace T\ Clark and the other gentlomon now prominently identified with the manage- ment of tho Union Pacific Railroad, who pro- fessed to bo much scandalized at some of tho rovelations boforo the Wilson Investigating ‘Committeo indicating the poverty of the corpo- ration, now virtually acknowledgo it to Lo o Dankrupt. They come before Congress and asic that tho Governmont ehall bo authorized to'con- tinuo the payment of half the amount due, and ag it comes due, to tho rond for Governmont transportation. It is stated that this sum will amount to about balf » million dollars, and will bo absolutely nocessary to kecp the road in run- ning ordor. 'Thia confession, instead of bo- ing n rccommendation that Congress should suthorize tho paymont of any moro money, 18 rathor = warning against the advance of another dollar, It the rond is bank- rupt, it has become 80 on account of the monoy that has been stolen in tho process of constrnc- tion, and because it now represents o capital and & dobt npon which it is impossiblo to pay the in~ torost, Therois no hopo of recovery on the prosont baais, bocause the present basis fs oxor- bitaut. It is only by wiping out the old score, and placing the roed upon & financial basis of what it is actually worth, that it can ever become self-sustaining. If this must bo dono sooner or lator, and the force of the principle will bo readi- Iy, recognized, thon ovory additional dollar thet the Governmant puya over tothe road is so mueh wasted, Let tho fact of bankruptey be acknowl- odged, now that it is kwown, and the Govern- raent should elaim what set-off it can, ‘We print tho memorial to tho Legislaturo of tho packers of Chicago, Thoy makeout a strong case. Thoy ongaged in businoss last fall undor the exieting laws, and with no notice that auy change was to be made. Tho peopl of Hyds Park endured the factory of tho Northwestorn Fortilizing Company sinco 1867, with no effort to suppress it. The Chicago packers engaged in thoir business this senson witliout the slight- ost notico of muy logal interruption, Tho pack- ing seunon has now loss than thirly daya to run, and they pray the Logialaturo to tnko no action that will prevent them completing their business for this sonson. PThoy repro- gent that no injury can be done to any porson, There are piled up at Aivsworth alrendy sevoral thousand tons of mattor, waiting roconstruction of tho works of tho Yortilizing Company, ‘That condition of thingsis afixed fact, and Lo delay leglslative or judicial action for tho balance of the pnoking songon will not make mattors any worse for Hyde Park, whilo it will enablo theso estallishments to comploto their senson and their contracts, involving milllona of dollava. It is further olahnod that upon oxamiuation the utilization of offal and blood doos not roquire that theso packing- Liousos shall remove their offal to Hydo Park; that processes are already In aperation by which this offal ia inetantly renderod inodorous and harmless; aud that, thorefore, osch pack- fng-houss, ot o small additional ox- peuse, can do ol that the Fortilizing Company can do, without keopiug tho offal long enough to bocome offensive, and without the dolays, cost, and accumulations Incidoutsl to ity yarlous handlings and exposnre to the aly, In othor words, thoy propose to treat their offal as thoy do their pork and beof—oure it promptly upon tho killing, and whilo it is frosh and {nodor- ous. At all evonts, thoy appenl to the Logisla- turo to allow thom to finish this sonson, and not to so hamper thom with loglelation for tho futuro that oy may not conduct tholr busl- ness in an inoffensive way, and bo compelled to tranafor tholr busincas, g8 woll as the trade of tho Btook Yards, to somo other locality than Ohi- ongo. RAILROAD AND WAREHOUSE COMNMISe BIONERS. Tho pothoer at Bpringflold concorning tho nowly-appointed Raflroad and Warohouso Com- misalonora is a palpable attempt to ‘‘corner” tho Governor, and coorco him to do somothing which his judgment tolls him not to do. Itis impudent in tho last degreo, and wo hope tho QGovornor will rosist it to tho bittor end. The Constitution and tho laws vost tho appointing poser in him, and not in tho town mootings of Freoport or Bloomington, Thero ia no respon- sibility upon thoso town meotings. If the Gov- ernor shall abdicate bis own functions in order to follow their advice, and shall aftorwards dls- cover that ho haw made a mistake, whoro will theso town meotings bo thon ? When tho ro- sponsibility is sought to bo shared with them, thoy will bo ag hard to find as o last yenr's jack- o'lantern, and the mon who aro now seoking to usurp tho Governor's prerogative will bo the vory last t{o rondor him mssistanco or support in such an emergency. Exccutlvo rosponsibility caunot bo shirked or divided .in this wny. That tho Sonato has tho sumo right to roject os the Governor has to ap- polnt, wo frocly admit, If Mossra. McOroa, Stillwoll, and Robinson, or any of thom, aro ro- jocted, tho lawful and orderly way to proceed is for tho Governor to send in now names. Thero i no objection to that ; to back out now, or to goud in tho names of tho town-mecting nomi- noor, supposing that thoso kaloidoscopo leaders could agreo upon candidates, would bo to sur- rendor tho powers conflded to him by two hun- dred thonsand votors to o mero handful of un- known busybodics. Aftor such a surrender ko could not hopo to retain the respoct and confl- donce of other pooplo, ovon of those who aro olriving to browbeat him. Still loss could ho ro- tain his solf-rospoct. Tho roasons which the CQovernor deignoed to assign for his action to a crowd of malcontonts on Thursday evening, wera porfoctly satiafaot tory to any fair-minded man, Doslring to com- ply with tho goneral sontiment of the State, which demanded tho appointinont of at lenst one mun identified with the farming intorest, and ot tho sameo timoe to seeure a high range of intelli~ gonce and some familiarity with tho groin-ship- ping intorest, ho bad appointed Mr. Btillwoll, who carriea on o farmof 1,000 acros, and who o shipped more than 800,000 bushels of grain Dy rail, and iy, thoroforo, already ncquainted with the business heis called upon to administer in an ofticinl capneity, both as rolates to railronds and to warchouses, Flo had also appointed Mr. Robinson, who, though a lawyer by profossion, carries on & fmm in Southern Illinois, Against these two appoint~ ments cortain bodies, calling thomselves Farm- org' Clabs, rieo up and demand the appointment of & Oivil Engineorl At the eamo time they berato tho Governor for not appointing a farmer a8 a momber of tho Board, Two yenrs ago, & similar outery was rafsed against Governor Palmor for overlooking the agrioultural interest, although he bad sppointed D. 8, Hammond, who iad beon & farmer and nothing but a farmer for ‘moro than thirty yenrs in this State, and whoso farm was thou and is now widely known asn pattorn of thrift, cloanliness, oconomy, and in- gonuity, Tho outcry against Mr. Stillwell is just ns mensoless aud disingenuous ns that agninat Mr. Hammond, and it will dlo out as suddenly, for it has nothing to rost upon. Dr, MeUres, tho third appointeo, was clocted Prosident of tho Board of Trade of this city, two or three yoars 830, in tho midst of an anti- warchouse excitomont. o was elected over Julian 8. Rumsoy, whom we considered at tho timo tho moro fitting candidate. Mr, McOrea's administration waa in all respects honorablo and useful, and wo presumo there cannot bo found in that body a mombor upon whom his follow- members would moro generally unite to recom- moud for the position to which the Governor bas nominated him. Having onco clected him a3 their own presiding officer over so eminent o citizon as Mr, Rumsey, the prosumptions, so far 88 the Board of Trade are concerned, aro all in his fayor. And who aro the Board of Trado? Thoy aro tho chosen sagents and repreeeutatives of tho country shippers of grain, who are intorested in getting tho lowest rates of freight and warehouge charges and tho highost prices for gramn for thoir clients. Is not this o fact iu tho intorest of farmers? But NcCros §8 grain-shippor himsolf, it is eaid, and ho might got tho advantage of other grain- shippers by virtuo of his position. If hoisn grain-shipper, hia private interests are in tho di- rection of low freights ; and, as for getting tho advantago of other shippers, it is simply impos- siblo that ho could escape dotoction, with tho sharp eyes of four or five hundred rivals in busi- nons constantly wpon him This theory, of conrse, prosupposes that ho ia n dishonest and baso men, which is an undoubted slander, end which we hopo the Governor will not give coun- tonance to by withdrawing lis name. 1¢ it is thought best to repoal the Railroad law altogethor, we have no objection toibat. Wo opposed its enactment In tho first inatanco, be- lioving that it would bo impossible to regulate frolght chargos by statuto, It has been found 80 in practico, not only here, but claowhero, It docy not follow, lowever, that Board of Rail- road Commissionors would not be useful. Tho Massachusotts Board, though not charged with such extraordinary and impossiblo dutios as our Board aro expeocted to perform, i novertheless & moat usoful adjunct to the legislntive power, by virtuo of tho diligonco and intelli- gonce with which it collects and collates information respocting railroads and railrond abuges, not only in Massachusetts, but in all parts of tho world, It is by no meaus clear that our Rallrond Comminsion ehould bo abolished. To abolish it as an act of spite work would ba contemptiblo, but that. would not he so con- tomptiblo ns this attempt to dragoon the Gover- nor, and pass sontonco of condemnation upon throo rospootablo citizons, without' trial of auy kind, It Is noodless to add that we havo no per- sonal interest in any of them, If tho appointing power wore lodged in our hands, wo ghould mppoint Messrs, Koorner aud Ham- mond ‘ovor ngain, But wo caunot allow the oxtraordinary conduct of (he self-vlected Gov- ornors who nbound at Freepors, Dloomington, and Springfleld, aud who ure seoking to over- throw the real Qovermor by * mmking Romio howl," to go uurobuked, And we suamestto tho opposition party in the Leplelaturo, that there aro wisor and moro useful things forthom todo thau to higs on tho Govornor's nseallanta, A party which can prosont no better rocord to the poople than ita rondinoss to nid and abot a quarrel among its opponenta dovs not show such vastly cuporlor clalma over the quarrcllors themsolves as Lo call for Inslant proforment, e r———— HISTORICAL DRIBERY IN CONGRESS, Tho cnsos of detected hribery in Congross have been fow, and it {s to theerodit of all partics that no attompt was over made to seroen or hido tho raseality upon tho plea that to oxpose or punish tho mombors would “‘hurt tho party.” As long 8go 8 1705, two men, named Randall and Whit- noy, mado overtures to several membors of Con- gresn, which were promptly communicated to the Houso, Mombors in thoso days did not walt for Invostigating Committecs; nor did tley plond that tho case was “not proved ;" nor did thoy palter with truth aud honosty by accopting bribes, and then calling it & businoss transace tion. At tho firat moment it could bo dono, tho members who had boon appronched informed tho Houso; Randall snd Whitpey woro ar- rosted, Lold in oustody, and thon pub- Hcly roprimonded aond dismissed. In 1818, Colonel John Andorson, o gray-haired soldier, had claims of his own for about 89,000, and for othiers about $20,000, for damagos sus- tained at the River Raisin, whioh claims wero Dbeforo the Committeo of Claims. Ho was weal onough to address the following lottor to the Clnirman of that Committoo: WASIINGTON, Jan, 6, 1818, IoNonub HIN: I rotiri you tualika 10r tho ate tention I recofved on my olafme to pase 6o soon, Mr. Leo will hand you some claims from tho River Ralul which will pass thraugh your honorable Committco § and I havon wish that the conduct of the British in that conntry may bo rolated in full on tho floor of Congross, which Wil glvo you somo tronblo in making out thio report, aud supporting the same, I have now tore quest that you will accept of tho small sum of §500 88 port pay for tho oxtra troubloIgivo you, I wil prosent it to you na soon as I recolvo ssmo from Government, This fs confidential, that only you and mo may know anything about it or, in other words, I give it o you na o man and & Mason, and hopo you belong to that soclety.

A few membors took tho ground that the Houso could not take juris- diction of a cnso of bribory, and that the.lattor could only bo punished by tho Courts. Andor- son appealed to tho Houso through lotters to thoe Speaker, dlsclaiming any intontion to bribe, and offoring testimony of his character. Con- oral W. H. Hurrison, Colonel R. M. Johnson, Gonorsl Cass, Posimaster General Meigs, and numorons members of Congress, tostified to his meritorious rervices in the war, and his pnrflnn{xl intogrity. Tho 1louse theu, by resolution, do- clared that Andorson had committed a con- tompt of tbe Housoe, nud, under an order, he was brought Lo the bar and publicly reprimanded by tho Speaker. Those were cases of attompts to bribe wembors. = Forty yoars Intar, in 1657, certain land schemes wora bofore Congreas. One of thase was known a8 the Minnoegots Laud bill, and tho other, the Town Land bill, both having for their object the appropriation of public lend for the bonoflt of spoculators. Charges having been made that thoro wag corruption, n Committeo, of which Honry Winter Davia was the Chalrman, was ap- poiuted to investigate. During the debato, Mr, Payne, of North Caroling, stated that he had been approached by & membor of tho Houso with a corrupt proposition. Tho undorstanding was, that thero was somo forty membors of Congross who were to share the plunder, but that theso woro ropresented by O. B, Matteson, W. A, Gil- bort, and Francis P. Edwards, members from the Btate of New York, ond W. W. Welch, of Connecticut. 3latteson was the Oakes Amos of that day, and ho * placed tho shaves whero thoy will dous the most good.,” His lotters were found, in one of which to n porson intorested ho eaid: ‘The .Committeo In ome” Ifouso haveagreed to ro- port your resolution in Miunesota to 272,000 aeres of laud, but there is much trouble in the way, Some out- slders mako mischicf, Ate you willing tolot your onc- fourth of the factory bo cut upand used to carry it through, in adaitiou to what Stryker arranged? The House adopted two resolutions: 1, that 0. B. Mattoson, o membor from New York, did incite persons intorested in the passage of tho Does Moinos graut to uso monoy for the dorrupt purposo of procuring its passngo; 2, that said Mattoson, in declaring that o largo number of mombers had nseociatod themsolves not to voto for any bill granting land or monoy unless paid for it, bad dofemed tho choractor of tho flouse. Theso wore passed—yens, 145; nnys, 17. Tho third resolution, expelling bir, was anticipated Dby bhis rosiguation. Ldwnrds, +who lad made tho proposition to Payne, In liko manner escapod oxpulsion by resigning, Gils bert was acoused of two thinga: First, an agree- ment to procure the pasasge of an order to pur- chago coples of & certain ‘boak, he torsceive & portion of the procoeds, and the scoond charge wan 08 follows: ‘‘Resolved, That Willicm A.

It must bo admitted that the ,caso will bo of moro interest than if it wore brought in tho Courts of New York, for tho ronson ihat the Fromch law provides a moro direct mothod for probing alleged frauds, and the Fronch Courts hove mado it & rulo to deal summarily with financial swindlers. If tho charges against Gonoral Fromont shall Lo gelf in tho power of the Fronch Governmont by porsonal appearance, it is not improbablo that his name will find o place in history alongaido of Law and Mires. Tho alloged cireumstances of tho Momphis & El Paso, or ‘“Iranscoutinental” Rallroad soheme are as follows: The projeot was to build o railrond to Ban Diego, with o southarn termi- nus, Itnever progressed any furthor than tho drawings of tho route, and the printing of the bonds. Goneral Fromont procoedoed to Burope to negotiato tho bonds, and took up his residence in Paris, Ho spoedily made a combination with the Imperial Government, by which the bonda wero allowed to be placed on the Paris Bourse. Thoy wore recoguized as having tho spocial sana- tion of the Government. A newspapor was started with tho oxpress purpose of assisting in thelr nogotintion. Nowspapers wero supprossed, or their circulation prohibited in Franco, when- ever thoy denounced the scheme, Olusoret was ordered to loave the country bocause ho had dared to attack it. Everything possiblo was done to givo theso bonds & etauding, and the result wos, that some sovon or oight millions of them wore gold to the people of Frauco at prices whioh brought some five or six millions in monoy. It was reprosonted that the United States Government had guaranteed the payment of tho socurities, and that they wore among tho best stocks on tho New York market, If thoso representations were curront in France at the time of the nogotintion, serious blame will bo attached to tho United States Tain- istry of that dato; for the American Minfatar could searaely have beon ignorant of them, and must have known that thoy woro falso. and promulgated for tho purpoac of decoiving tho people. Bubsequontly, Minister Washburna, in anower to inquiry, pronounced the bonds worthe less, and domled the allogation of Govora- ment connection with tho scheme, But Mr. Washburne did not become Ministor until after the nogotiation of the bulk of the securitics had beon made, and hiis exposure of the fraud can.e too Inte to save the people. When the corpora- tion was declaved bankrupt, sad put into the hands of o Recolvor, all tho assots that could ba found consisted of n quantity of iron and some useless locomotivos, which are supposod to have been bought from MM, Schroeder, & great manu- facturer, and ot Lhat timo Prosident of the Fronch SBonato, at exorbitant prices. This, of courao, was in the naturoof a bribe. How much ‘money was used for bribing purposes, or whoro it was distributed, is not known. Itis cortain, howover, that tho facilities which Iremont en- joyed wore not obtained without a liboral dis- tribution of monoy, and it is one of tho purposes of tho Fronch prosccution to discover where it went. Tho conviction of Jobn 0. Fremont, whoto namo 8 of o higher dogrea in Europo na load- ing American than it is in thin country, of the negotiation of worthlesa socurities, and of do- frauding tho peopla of Frauco, will naturally linvo tho offect to further destroy European con- fidencoin oll Americau bonds and eccurities that may be presented abrond. This is tho most important and lnmontable featuro of the wholo transsction, from o flnaucial point of viow. But thero is also a political significanco attached to tho affair. No such nogotintion of worthless gecurities would have been possible except for Govornment intorference with the privato affairs of its citizons, When the Napoleoniec Govern- mont resorved tho right of dictating what secur- ities should be ndmitted into tho Doards of Trade of France, it opened tho woy for just such comuption on tho part of ita oftlelals, and just such swindling of tha peoplo as aro hore deseribed, Fronch eapi- talists would nover have beon decoived by so flimsy a schiome i thoy had not beon misled by their own Government. Thoy would have do- manded thoe proofs of the alloged gusrantees. It is o manis of the French people to subscribe to the national loans and public securitios ; <but thoy never rush headlong Into projects that pro- sent thomsolvos without Government indorso- mont. General Fromont could nover have no- gotlsted o dollar's worth of hin bonds in the British market. Nor could be have nogotiated them in the French market without Government intorferonco. It is anothor illustration of o principlo that tlio American poople should keop prominently before them just at this time.
