The Coroner was Ioth to exorciso his authority, aud ordor a post mortom exsmination of the body to bo made, in tho abseuco of an aflidavit sotting forth that, in the beliof of the deponont, she did not die of disense; and tho Buperin- tondent of Polico would not act until requestod to do 8o by tha Coroner. Neither could, in fact, make'an investigation in tho faco of the certificato of the attonding physician, which atatec the causo of death, there bolug no evidenco to show it to bo untrue. The boarders at tho Grand Contral rogard the sudden death of Mra.

Tho thing (‘;ot to §clng, and uo ono scomed to Lnow hoyw to stop 1t, R.—What started it ? Well, the whole thing originated in n stack-jobblng oporation of Vanderbilt's, or, as it iy ealled, tho Vandorbilt intorest, R.—What hadho todo with tho Grodit Mobilier ? 8.—Tho Oredit Mobilior is only another nameforthe old maungemont of tho Union Pacitio Railroad, As officors of tho road they mado con- tracts with thomsclves as officers of the Credit Mobilier, by which thoy mado an immonso sum of money—stated from nine millionsupwards. Thoy made this on construction contracts and on the enlo of Governmont bouds, on the first mort- gagos ou the road, and stifl had loft the onor- mons land-grants—for thoy hecame virtually tho ownors of the rond. There was no disturbance about this until the road changed hands, R.—Why didn't thoy keep it ? 8,--Tho Amesos failed, and Vanderbilt bought their stock, Ho hought overywhero he could until ho hold a controlling interest and got tho organization. ‘Then hotriod to make somo of tho old officors disgorgo some of thoicbig profis, I Linvo heard, though with what truth I cannot &y, that Amos offored to compromiso for $25,~ 000. No settloment was mado. R,—\¥ns tho M'Comb guit a part of this Van- dorbilt squeocze ? 8.—Only incidontally, if at all. They took another way to bring it about. ‘Thoy ot the prees on the track. % 1‘?.—Wlmt interost had tho pross in the mat- or 8.—T do not know, oxcept thoy wore put at it by the Vanderbilt ym't,{‘ It is said_that he om- ‘1 oyed five loading dailies in Now York and the \Wost to opon on the Credit Mobilior operations a8 frauds on the Government. 'The insignificant 2'Com) suit furnished tho hint and excuso, and tho disturbance commencod. Vandorbilt keptin tho background, and the pross oponed the agita~ tion on high public grounds. R.—What was tho object of sll this ? B.—Firat, Lo crento n public soutimunt that would compel invostigation ; and, second, on that to found logialation that should compol the old owners of the Union Pacific toad to aisgorge. They wanted tho Unitod Statos to suo the Credit Mobilior chaps., & R.—How was Vandorbilt intorested in tho claims of tho United.Btates? 8,—Ho wasn't, and thero is tho rub, Ho want- od the Unitod States to compel the Crodit Mo- bilior to disgorge for Lis benofit, All that is got out of them will go into Vauderbilt’s pocket, and the Govornmont will not gat & cent of it. Ho started this row to put up Union Pacifle stock in the market, and got soveral millions out of tho Oredit Mobilior etackhioldors. R.—Did ha accomplish it ? 8.—A resolution waa passed instructing tho Attornoy-Gonoral to commenco suit in the namo of the l;nlmd Btates; tho United States will pa; il tho costs of proseoution, and Vanderbilt wil get all that is racovered, I..—Do you mean to eny that tho Unitod Statos had no intorest in the Cradit Mobilier stealings, and has not beon v q.ml? 8.—Not a cont’s worth. Tho only wrong over inflicted on the Governmont, if any, was whon the Govornmont lien on the road was mado o second mortgage ; and thoro ia no doubt buk the socurily is ample to indemnify tho Governmont sgainst logs. A'ho ownors of tha road ara owners of its firat mortgage. Thoy can't own i twice. This chango of tho priority of lien was mado bo- foro the organization of the Cradit Mobilier, sud had no counection with it. As it is tho Govern ment is to be o cat’s paw to haul Vanderbilt’s ochostnuts out of tho Crodit Mobilier firo, aud that's the nbam:tivn point and sum total of the wholo investigation. R.~—What ovidonco ia thoro that this is a Van- dorbilt speculstion ? 8.~—Ouno fact is sufficient proof. Tho Central Pacific Railrond, built uuder the samo Inws and subsidies, had aluo un insido ring, like tho Crodit Mobilior. Tho road was built in the saino way ; an immenso sum was mado by the ofilcers, probably & larger stonl thau Amos and his party ot on tho othior rond, But thoro has boon no isturbance, no investigation, 1o suit by tho United Btates ? Why? Bocauso tho rond has not changod handa, “The parties who made tho grab still own tho road, and thero is no ono wrongod and no oue to complain, Thors is no Vandorbilt in that case. If thoro was, you would have that road investigated at the demand of some pross syndicato. R.—How can the. press seouro such concos- slons to its demands? Would its voico bo so potential if it had not right on ite sldo ? B.—Tho daily pross rulos tho country. No statosman, 1o political party, no corporation can stand against thom. );‘hny cannot bo resisted oxcopt for a short time on gomo groat issuo an at onormous oxponse—as in the last campaign.
