that r.cvci" before in the history of
this or any other country have
fraud and corruption held such
high carnival, or more vmbhtshing- j

It is a pitiful spectacle we now i
witness of the Congress of the"

Credit Mobilier business, and con
victing nearly all the leading men
of that body of participation in the
profits of that unblushing scheme,
in which for lucre, they barter
their votes and their patronage.

President elect, both, together with
the Speaker, and members and Sen
ators high in authority, are involv-

Hiving in Oregon, it is hard for us to
realize the extreme cold wealh"r that has
prevailed in the Eastern Slates, and the
amount of suffering and death caused.
The lollowing terrible description of a
snow storm in Minriessota we take from a
correspondence to the Xew York Herald
from Winona., under date of ihe ISih of
January. It is but one of the many re
ports of death by freezing and exposure
of which we find our H tsiern exchanges
full.
