Corruption ip’ Office.
’ "he extent of corruption and bris béery among public men and officers
.° Have either greatly increased, or else
the chances of discovery have .so
multiplied that it is much more difficult to hide -rascality than formerly.
bered as a Congress of investigations,
_andin these investigations no dispos
_ sition is‘shown-toshield tue highest
men in the nation fron expose. Of
course it is impossible to:teil until:
the investigations are” completed; .
ta
names are mentioned:in' connection .
Enough has been found’ toimplicate seme of both: political parties,
aud the Credit Mébilier to have been
a ring organized in connection with
the Union Pacific Road, to operate
very much as the Tanimany Ring in
the New’ York. City government.
This Union Pacific Ring had 4 three . .
fold cbject,namely: Robbing the
outiide stockhelders of the road,
corrupting. Members of* Congress,and lastlyrobbingthe Government
of. ‘the: Gnited States. Oakes Ames}
is the head « ‘devil in vhis scheme of
robbery and: corruption. His—evi-:
dence and the testimony: of those associated with him-has been corroborated to somhe~ extent,. furnishing a
train of circumstances sufficient to
establish a prima facia case against
Golfax,. Brooks, Kelly and~ other}
leadiag members of Congress, from
which they are called_upon to clear
themselves by ‘indubitable proofs, ot
stand convicted of corrupt practices
before: the world, We cannot believe that men who have heretofore
stood i in public and private life above
the breath: of suspieion,.could ‘have
been dawn into so vile a transaction
“as the evidenée made public would}
indicate. We hope they will be able
to fully vindicate-themselves, for the
honor of the nation-audthe people
they represent. “We~can: only hope
that these: investigations will be
pushed until every: transaction is
maade public, and every officer, be
his position or name ever so high,
shall be exposed and punished. Congress should not be satisfied with a
simple-exposure of corrupien. The
~ guilty parties. shouldbe -expelted
from the bodies which they, disgrace.
. People of the United States-will not
be satisfied until all these parties are
punished. ‘Phis punishment. should:
posed the ring and sought to cerrupt4
cepted the bribes which Ames and
_ and his associates gave.

New ‘Wicglagh ‘Arrangements’
The Alia having. been shut out of
the combination’ with the Union and
Buin Besaubs’ it advocated the Posthi Telegraph, has madé “arrangenients and entered an association
with the Chronicle a&td Record, to
receive news by the Atlantic and Pacific telegraph line. The reports are
more general and interesting and. not
of the Simonton stamp, all ane way.
By Orton’s line they make out the
friends of the Postal Telegraph are.
few, but a Washington dispatch of
thé 9th says: ‘‘The opinion is rap-.

“with these” swindtes“are implicated icp 5 prospects of thePostal Telegraph project are heightening every
day, though it isnot probable’that
anything will be accomplished: this
session of Congress, except inmaking
the subject popular. Hubbard's bill
is reported by its fiend’ to have a
majority of the votes in? the Senate
‘in its'favor, and might pass any
time if it could be reached inthe regular order of: business: Postmaster
Creswell, however, is opposed to this
scheme,.concerning which he says:
“Doubtless a most excellent arrangement for the Postal Telegraph'Coinpany, -but;doubtless a:most unprofitable one for the Government, which
is asked to insure a profit om~the incet., or More, per annum, and-at the
samé t'me to assume all theresponsibility of the new system preposed.”’
He says in his recommendations on‘
the subject: ‘‘I am decidedly of: the
Opinion that, if the public interest
requires a Postal Telegraph, it should
be put entirely into the hands ofthe
Governnient,. If, on the contrary,‘a
Postal Telegraph is not: se: demanded, then the Government: should not
favor one’private company; to the exclusion of another, nor sheuld it in
any wise enter into competition with
private enterprise.”
One of the chief arguments. made
against the system proposed. by him
has been:done away with by the passage of-the bill abolishing the franking privilege. It was said, ‘‘the postal.telegraph will be overburdened
with-franked message to the exclusion of private business.”?
Mr. Creswell thinks that: ‘$12, 000,000 would liberally pay for.the property, rights and offices of: the Western Union Telegraph Company, and
has been told that parties stand ready
to put up new lines equal in extent.
and appointments for $10,000,000.
In his opinion, however, the company, if pressed to sell to the Government, will demand-much more—possibly $40,000,000—thiuking that the
Government, .under the Act of 1866,
is obligedto: buy out existing lines.
Mr. Creswell says: ‘‘If the companies. demanda exorbitant figures
for the surrender of: the property,
then the Government isnot debarred
from: their right to construct new
-lines of its ownon thesame routes!
This is the outline of hig-policy proposed.A-WasHINGTON dispatch says, that
orders have been sent to the commandant of the United States=forces
operating against: theMedoes to!
make such disposition ofhis : forces
as will tend-to protect settlers and
their property in the neighberheod}
and to suspend -further hostile proceedings againstthe Indians; unless
absolutely necessary, until after the
