This porpolual nocessily to meot nevw dlscovorics by frosh ox-’ planations, instoad of anticipating those dis- covories by n full and :xxt)llult naxrativo, connot but bo very dflm}l&lufi to the Vico Presidont.

From the . Cineinnati Commercfal, H robablo “that Nesbitt sent Colfax a one thousand dollar bill. ' Ho waa cloarly capablo of such an eccen- tricity, The only thing that surprisca us now is that Colfax should have boon surpriged when Lo Enz the monoy, and that ho passod it aronnd Lila reakfnst table, Porhaps Nesbitt ment tho, bill bocauso he did not like to be sending a0 many chocks. It is unfortunato that the lotter con- taining thoe bill should not have been presorved na woll as_thoso inclosing tho checks, If Mr. COolfax hed many such fricnda as Noabitt ho must Do in rather comfortablo circumstances.

Thaf that oquivalont consistod simply of tickots for the Nesbitt family to witness the inaugura- tion coromonies, is ‘s humbug altogether too riticulous to notice.

THE POLAND REPORT. Comments of the Press, T'rom the St, Louis Republican, Thoro will bo but ono opinion of tho roport of tho Poland Committeo on ths Credit Dlobilior briborles in Congress, It is insuflciont, tamne, nnd noxt to worthlesin, It ia n Isbored_attomph to placato tho public feoling. sgoinet & systom of _conspiouous briberics in .Cons gross by offering two of tho criminals for snorifice, and npologizing forall tho others, Buch aroport could not come from a Houso Committeo {iftcen f'uurn n§o.

All of them bought Orodit Mobilion® stock from Ames, and ail of them donled it—thoreby adding nn- truth to a gross improprioty ; and n reprimand, of lonst, gooms to bo oalled for by tho circum= atances. ¢ From the Cincinnatt Tnqufrer. , The Committeo boliove that the mnduo nd unreasonablo profits made in this Company wora a8 much o fraud upon the Govornment ns though theso lawmakers had sold its bonds and dlvhfud tho procoeds. And yot tho Committeo have no word of roproof, oven, for_the majority of tho swindlorn, but recommend that Amod and Brooks bo expelled. Their rocommonda- tions would hiave boen ontitled to oud havo re- coived a8 much respect had thoy cast Jots smong the Oredit Mobiliors for two offorings of stotos mont.

Amog hias not told all that ho knows by any moona. Xf ho hos not an awful assortmont of Bocre!s in resorve wo are inaccarately improssed. From the Detroil Free Press, ‘Wo hope that the suggestions contained in the report of tho Poland Committeo will not bo fol- lowed by Congress, To oxpel Ames and Brooka alone would bo a most flogrant outrago, If whitowashing is to bo done, lot it bo comploto and impartial, 8o that tho poople mey sco that -Congress dares not punish members who havo vllufinwaxl thomeelves and it ; but if justico s to o done, lét it bo rigorous and hnpartial, and lot tho whhflm{lhypne te bo scourged out of Con- grosa as woll aa tho bolder rascals, From the 5t, Louis Tines. It fa not only ovidont that tho rovelations thus far dovoloped fail to disclosa tho oxtent of tho frouds in thoir actnal and stupondous prfiu:- tions, but that an effort is making to shicld from retribution others_oqually guilty with tho mombors from Maseachusotts and Now York, and vindicato the honor of tho House by placing tho whole burden of stonomont upon thoir shoulders alono, Under tho circumstances, 50 monifestly wonk and inguflicient is tho roport of thoe Committeo, it is vory doubtful whather oven thoso gontlemen will bo- oxpellod In defianco of the Oommutteo's recommendation. - From the Hilwaukee Netcs, 1If the Amorican people over intond to securo “tho punishment -of publio thicves, they must bogin by ineisting npon the punishment of thoso Oongressmen who act upon investigating Qom- nothiug moré or logs than so muoch slush, , . .« Aman whom.the nation has dolighted to honor, and who ‘has horetoforo. . en~ onjoyed ~ tho reepect nnd confldonco of” ‘oven -political opponents, ia plunged into o FIL_ of disgraco aud contempt, from whenee there is no chancoe of escape.

Poor Colfax, what a funny memory be has. Ho should havo objected to ho sworn to tell the wholo truth, for tho same reason tho witness in the Orawford County Court did, in old Judgo Mooro's timo, _* Thore are” said he, “ngreat mony truths I don't know snything sbout.” Nesbitt furnished Congress with ~stationery and Calfax was Bpeaker ; does that explain why somo of theso romiftances wero mm{ 0 on personal grounds ? From the Sandusky Register, Altogothor this is the atrangest of sll the strangs affairs of thoso dogonorato political times. Strangor thimgs may havo happoned, but thia is ¢ almost " - tho strangest thing of tho contury, From the Laports (Ind,) Argua, One thing is certain, and uo fair-minded man will deny it : Schuyler Colfax Is guilly of shamo- ful prevarication, and deservos the righteous consure of all honost people. Ho may bo guilt- loss of tho charg® of boing bribed by Credit Mo- biller stock—that is atill an open question—but ho cortainly did, and that too designodly, lead tho ‘moplu to boliove that ho nover had any cou- naction with tho Mobllier stook. He afterwoards aworo that o never rocoivod any such an amount of monoy a8 Amos chiargod him with, aud stated that if ho had ho gertainly would romember it. Ho was finally driven_from this position, nnd then admitted the Nosbitt matter, Sinco tho closo of the iuvestigation he has further boen forced to admit that tho samo Governmont contraotor, Nesbitt, ' sont him 4,000 at four different times, during tho poriod in question. It is not too much to sny that Schuy-~ ler Qolfax atands immeasurably lowor in tho minds of the_Amorican people than lio did one month ago, With a few blindly partisan excop+ tions hho has forfoited his former olaims to hou- orable respect, and to-day, stands dishonorably condemned by tho massof the fiuople‘ Guilty or innocent, hio has made his bod ond muat rest init, From the South Bend (I'nd.)

Itseoms plain to us that the Commit- 00 wore a8 severe aud as comprehonsivo in thelr. recommondations as tho ovidenco before {hom warranted. 4 3 From the Philadelphin Telegraph, The conviction of Ames involves that of the othors. If he woro tho bribe-giver, thoy musat hiave boon the bribo-takers. It will ‘not “do for thom to deny having taken bribes, in the faco of his drendful memorandum-book, and of the fact that not ono of thom over attompted to bring Dim to ii,usticu for attompting to corrupt them. Lvon bad they not succumbed to his tempto~ tiona and rocoived tho bribo, they are partlol- ators in his orime by rosson of their silonco. lllut it hins beon proved vory setisfactorily, to their constituonta at loast, that they did fall, The very sublorfuges of thoir defonco prove it. They are all ontircly too transparent, . . . . Upon the Republican party dovolves the punish- mout of thess men, and it is inoumbent upon it to oxecuto stern justico, The country sud tho world will liold it responsible, for most of the offendors belong fo its rank, it nlone has the powor to punisb. Its strongth fully warrants the most extreme measures, No matter how many may b the corrupt, nor how able they are, Tor Bow tnduential and Lionast in tho paat, thoy can bo driven out not onli without damage but with absolute proflt to the party. The House should, without hesitation, expel all its guilty mombors, and take stops for tho fmpeachment of Colfax 3 aud the Sonato should thrust out ita Credit Mobilier offondors so oon a8 its Com- mitteo shiall have pointed them out. Frons the Bugalo Couriers Of all tho flimsy wabs of sophistry over wovon, that which the Committos woavo around the ro- coiyers of Amos’ bribes 18 surcly tho flimsicat, It is the baby act in its baldost form that s plead for thoso innocents. Thoy had no iden of Amos” corrupt domgus. Thoy thought of Oredlt Mo- Ditier only a8 an incomprehonsibly good inveat- ment.

And, a8 8oon os thoy saw trouble coming, thoy made haste to get rid of tho contraband, somo of them avon dropping & portion of their dlvidends in tho hurry-seurry, From all of which facts and cou- sidorations tho Committeo cannot venture to as- sort that their -conneotion with Crodit Mobilier waa not altogothor and i ovory repect up to the highest standard of publio victuo1 Of courso, this yoport will bo riddled nud slashed as it do- #orves, Wo cannot bolieve that Congress and tho Republionn pavty will tuke tho responsibility of its adoption. Lvidoutly tho end is not yet. From the Buffulo Comaiercial Advertiger, Tho Cowmitteo havo hnd a liard task to per~ form, aud upon the whole have dono it well, We wish that thoy had sfated their opinions inre- goxd to tho wayin whicha cato Ia mndo out u[flxluut tho Vico Prosident, and tho Bonators % tlon with this unfortunate subject.

"The buildlug of railroads across tho continent in 1800-7 was by no menns the matter of sciontifio cortainty it hna sinco become, It wne almost univorsally regard- ed a8 n wild and hazardous experimont. Capitalists, who had no hositation nboat lnvoatlnlgn in railroads anywhoro within the its of clvilizod sottlemont, would have nothing to do with the Pacilo Ronds, Tho Goyernmont to whioh the road was of greator immodiato con- uh(&nonco than to the poople as arouto for travel, had mado liberal advances in vain to induce Kri- vate and rosponsiblo capitaliats to tako hold of it; and whon Mr. Ames, tempted by tho splendor of the opportunity, decided to tako tho risk, and- mflsuude some of his frionds to share it with m, e did so against the judgment of most of tho capitalists of the country, In judging him, thioreforo, for the means he adopted to protec! his privato fortuuo, and to roalizo the fruits of Lis daring Inyestment, the ciroumstancos of that timo should, in unr]ndgmune, have much groster from(nenuu than Judge Poland and his Commit- o hove given to thom. Those circumatancos, #o far from cnnflrming tho judgment of tho Committoo, will bo fonnd to justify the better judgment of tho coun ot tho time the road was bullt,—s judgmont Yo which Mr, Amos and his nssociates may appenl with oconfidenco, whntl:er thoy succeed in weathering this storm or not, From the Springfield (3ass.)
