! The regular Washington corre

thus reportsthe .result .of an inter
view with A' Kepublican .member of
. Congress concerning the Credit Mo
' bilier: .;v;.; ' - r
'I have never been so much disappointed
in my life," said he, "as'at theresultof this
investigation. It involves men whom I
would have no'sooner doubted than myself.
Oh, you know all about . these sons-in-law
and brothers-in-law," he continued in reply
to a suggestion oOalne'tbat don't help
it in the least To me it is rather an evi
dence that men felt that it was not quite
right that they allowed their relatives to in
vest, and "permitted bakes" 'Ames to hold
the stock for them instead of taking it .in
' their own ; names.- NowT there- is Wilson,
whose skirts, as far as I can learn, are about
as clear as those tt any one:"1 why should-
he allow his wife to hold this stock? Why
should Elliott, of Massachusetts, have al
lowed Vis son-in-law to have some of it or
James Brooks, his dauchter's husband? I
can't believtf-tfiata rnan is thoroughly hon
est who helps a relative to atf investment
the value 01 which his vote may affect"
"Then you think that the Committee
will find that there has been at least an at
tempt by the Pacific Railroad people to in
fluence men's votes in Congress by the use
of a valuable consideration V" I asked. .
" I know it" was the reply. " Not of my
own knowledge, but by what I have been
told and -what I believe. If 'a resolution
should be introduced in the House next
week to expel Oakcs Ames, I should have
tovote for it : I hope I 6hall not be called
upon to votejon the subject at all, but if I
have to put myself on the record I
know enough to make It my duty to vote
for expulsion." ,
' Do you think that such'a resolution will
be introduced?"' I inqaired, as he showed a
disposition to change the subject of conver
sation. - ' . ; )y...r:? f
t "The Committee, will have to report
gome kind of a resolution censure or some
thineelae." . -'i
" Will it be expulsion ?"
A low pause , can't say." .Then,
in a soliloquizing tone : The worst of this
whole business is that the men who are
most corrupt will escape, while those who
arc little to blame will be made scape-goats.
It is always so. You don't suppose that
Whittemoro, ; of South: Carolina, , sinned
above all other members of Congress in the
selling of cadetships. It was his simplicity
that got him into trouble. So in this mat
ter, the men who thoughtlessly bought this
stock for their wives or sons-in-law, or for
themselves, voted as John B. Alley sold
them, and realized a few thousands of dol
lars, believing, perhaps, that their votes
were not affected by the possession of the"
stock, will suffer more than the men, who,
at the same time, were the paid attorneys of
the Credit Mobilier, and so bound to
watch over its interests while they sat in the
Senate and House of Reyresentatives.
Some of these men-are now models of vir
tue; they didn't accept Credit Mobilier
stock. Oh, no! they couldn't have thought
of such a thing while they were in Con
gress, and they are loud In their condem
nation of those who did, but if they were
obliged to go before that Committee and
tell it simply what they told me nothing
more they would be as mild as lambs,
and; would have nighty little to say About
Wlbon and Dawes, and Garfield and
IMutwcTl. I want to see tlie Senators who
wdre elected to their seats with the money
of the Union Pacific Railroad, and the
men in both Houses who taken heavy fees
as counsel for either" of the Pacific Rail
roads, the Credit Mobilier or any other
company that had gigantie schemes before
Congress and who always interested them
selves to see that those schemes were sue-
. cessful, sometimes . by ' persuationy some
times by - prolonging sessions . all night,
and sometimes 1 by - smuggling 1 into r- a
bill when it was m conference committee
provisions that the v did not dare to brins
before either House, and which took ' tens
and 1 am not sure but hundreds of millions
of dollars out of the miblic treasury and
give it to one of. these corporations I want
to see these men-broucht to account" '
" Then you think that the Mobilier scan
dal, as it is called, is but a small part or the
corruptiontmu has been practised In con
nection with Pacific Railroad legislation?"
"Of course I do, and if the jruth ever
comes out you win see that I am .right"
There is no longer any doubt that this
Credit Mobilier scandal is to be the sensa
tion of this session the one thing for
which it will be remembered. The two
short mouths that are left will hardly be suf
ficient to get to. the bottom of the" matter
covered by the resolution under which the.
present committee is acting, but, unless I
urn greatly mistaken, it will give the conn
V iry :i glimpse of a greater field of investi
gation, wliich some future Congress will
have to explerc. ri"Tr" '

the obligations of my oath of office I am de
termined tney Bhall not prevail. It is a fact
worthy of note, that though nearlv eiarht
years have elapsed since the close of the
war, mere still obtains in the minds pf the
inteffigerjt, sober citizens of the North,
East and West embracing a majority
of voters in the Union, those voters
representing the most permanent and
valuable interests of the whole country, a
serious doubt as to the loyalty and law-abiding
character of a large proportion of the
white voters in the late rebellious States,
this doubt being so strong and prevalent as
to affect the '. national legislation and pro
duce disquiet in the public mind generally
relative to the prosperity and safety of our
common country. This state of the public
mind is not more certainly referable to the
civil strife than to the unfriendly and in
subordinate temper of the Southern people.
Since the close of the war they have mani
fested restlessness vnder the exercise of
national r authority, - and have repeatedly
given the influence of their intelligence and
wealth to perpetuate wrongs against both the
property and persona of American citizens,
on purely political and partisan grounds.
Such state of thinks has been aggravated in
its evil effects largely by the fact that the
illegal and violent manifestation of temper
and conduct has generally referred to and
had its utterance in connection with the ex
ercise of civil and political rights by the
newly enfranchised citizen. It has become
a habit in our State and in other Southern
States with the insubordinate class of our
people referred to, to threaten a revolution
of the Government on the heel of every
political defeat No matter how fair the
expression and overwhelming the decision
of the public will on the political issues of
the day, each defeated aspirant claims the
inalienable right of subverting the Govern
ment as a compensation and offset in some
sort for nis personal disappointment

and while awaiting the appearance of the

had been left there, during his absence and
he knew nothing about them, whereupon
they were taken possession of by the officer

On r Sidewalks.
The matter of having suitable sidewalks
constructed on all our principal streets is
one in which every one in . the community
should feel more pr less interest ' The pres
eent condition of many of them is a positive
disgrace to the city and subjects us to the
ridicule of strangers who visit Wilmington,
as well as proving a source of inconvenience
and annoyance to our own people. No one
can conscientiously gainsay this fact, as it
is too patent to admit of argument or con
tradiction. It should therefore be a source
of gratification to all who take any pride or
interest in the welfare of the city that
the Board of Aldermen have at last taken
the matter in hand and ordered that pave
ments be constructed on Front from Red
Cross to Castle; on Second, from Princess to
Orange; on Market, from the river to Ninth;
on Red Cross, from Nutt to Second; on Wal
nut, from Nutt to Front; on Mulberry, from
Water to Front; on Water, from Chestnut
to Mulberry; on Chestnut, from Water to
Front; on Princess, from Water to Third;
on Water, from Dock to Third, and on
Orange from Water to Front streets, the
property owners on said streets being noti
fied through an advertisement in this issue
that if sidewalks made of brick or flag-stone
are not constructed by the 1st of May
next the same will be done by
the city at their expense. The prop
erty owners will find the small
outlay required for this purpose an excel
lent investment, as it will not only have the
effect to enhance the value of their property,
but will give us continuous sidewalks on all
the principal streets, thereby improving and
beautifying our city to an extent which is
demanded by the times and the progressive
spirit of our people.
"General Abbott's Bond."
A joke is told at the expense of one of our
mercantile friends which is too good to be
lost It seems that a rule exists by which
consignees of freight arriving from Phila
delphia on the steamship Pioneer are re
quired, before removing the same, to sign
what is known as a "general average bond."
Our friend had some goods on the steamer
namedjphich -arrived at this port a day or

man to take the articles to his store. The
drayman departed on his errand, but re
turned in a short time with the startling in
formation, 44 The man says you can't get
your goods unless you sign General Abbotts
bond " The gentleman, not only consider
ably nonplussed at this extraordinary
message, but somewhat indignant at
the idea that he could be induced
under any circumstances to sign the
bond of a 44 carpet bagger," has
tened to the wharf where the steamer was
lying and demanded to know of the agent
" What in the dl he had to do with Gen.

drift of the joke in a moment, explana

OPERA HOUSE.
Madame Janauschek. :i
By an advertisement in this issue it will
be see that we are really and without mis
take to have a visit from Madame Janau
scheckj the renowned tragic actress, who,
under the management of Mr.' John T.
Ford, and in connection with the popular
tragedian, Mr. James Jl: Taylor, will ap
pear at the Opera House in this city on
Monday, the 20th Inst , in the grand histori
cal play of "Mary Stewart" They will be
accompanied by a 'first-class metropolitan
company, thoroughly rehearsed and 'expe
rienced in their respective roles.
The Philadelphia Press, noticing the per
fect mastery of the English language in so
short a time by this talented and celebra
ted artiste, says: -
Genius and intellectual power compel
admiration; and when the genius or power
is directed to a worthy object the tribute
of praise should be ungrudging and unstint
ed. It is safe to say that the classic drama,
that noble branch of art which has been
too much neglected of late; has now no
greater representative in this country than
Madam Janauschek.. Certain it is that no
English-speaking tragedienne , approaches
her. The same prodigious energy which
enabled her to win the verj highest honors
as an actress in the German language,- has
made itself manifest in her well-nigh per
fect mastery of English, an achievement
which, considering its completeness and
the time spent in it, is unparalleled. The
complex difficulties of acquiring a foreign
tongue, considered by many artistes practi
cally insurmountable, has , proved no bar
ier to her. At first she flanked the obstruc
tions as the Prussians flanked Strasburg
and Metz, and moving straightforward won
some glorious victories without removing it
from her way. Then even as the Teutons
in France invested and with comparative
ly small delay captured the fortresses left
behind, so has Janauschek turned back for
a short time and completed her triumph by
conquering, as if by storm, the linguistic
obstacles which interfered with her commu
nications. Swindlers Arrested.
A colored man from Marion, S. C, by
the name of Henry Gotbold, who is on a
visit to this city, was made the victim a day
or two since of the tricks of some of the
colored sharpers in this city, by which he
was relieved of a watch and chain that had
been in his possession for the last five years.
The names of the parties who effected the
swindle are W. H. Guiton Henry Brown
and- Mitchell. The two former were
arrested and lodged in the Guard House.
Guiton, the first one of the party arrested,
was ordered by Marshal Canaday to get the
watch, and he was sent off in charge of an
officer for that purpose. The chain
was found round the neck of a colored dam
sel by the name of Henrietta, but
the watch had disappeared. Guiton
was recognized by a man who formerly re
sided in Raleigh, who says he was compelled
to leave that place on account of similar
44 indiscretions" to which he seems to be
liable here. Mitchell is also said to hail
from Raleigh, while Brown belongs in this
city. They will probably have a hearing
before the Mayor's Court this morning.
