# The Eye of Osiris

   Mr. Hurst entered the dining-room alone, and, observing that the table was laid for two, asked the reason. 'I thought Mr. Bellingham was staying to dinner, sir,' was the housemaid's reply.—'Mr. Bellingham!' exclaimed the astonished host. 'I didn't know he was here. Why was I not told?'
   'I thought he was in the study with you, sir,' said the housemaid. On this a search was made for the visitor, with the result that he was nowhere to be found. He had disappeared without leaving a trace, and what made the incident more odd was that the housemaid was certain that he had not gone out by the front door.

Edition of 1920. See also Oakes Ames on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
AMES, Oakes, American manufacturer and promoter: b. Easton, Mass., 10 Jan. 1804; d. 8 May 1873. The son of a blacksmith who had become a manufacturer of highly reputed picks and shovels, he trained himself in his father's
works, and with his brother joined the firm as Oliver Ames & Sons. The opening up of California in 1848 and Australia in 1851 by the gold discoveries created an immense demand for their goods in mining, settlement and railroad building, which raised the firm to the front rank in business and wealth; and in the Civil War they had great contracts for shovels, swords, etc. Mr. Ames was in the Massachusetts executive council 1861, and Congressman 1862 till death. In 1864 the failure of attempts to carry through the nationally exigent Pacific Railroad led President Lincoln's government to call on Mr. Ames to undertake it. He risked financial ruin if it failed, investing $1,000,000 and making his whole fortune responsible for the rest; it could not be expected that he should forego a corresponding profit if it succeeded. The work was finally accomplished by organizing a construction company (see Crédit Mobilier of America), which paid itself largely in stock and bonds of the Union Pacific, practically making the two companies one, and enabling the former to charge the latter its own prices for work and supplies, the government paying the bills. Credit Mobilier stock became enormously valuable, and the directors were charged with cheating the government and using the stock to buy congressional support for the fraud. Mr. Ames' anomalous position as Congressman, director in both companies, contractor for immense supplies to the railroad, and the ablest manager of the whole enterprise, caused the chief fury of the assault to fall on him; and in the tremendous public scandal and investigation which followed he was censured by the 42d Congress and died shortly after. His son Oliver (q.v.), however, induced the Massachusetts legislature to re-examine the case, and on 10 May 1883 (the 14th anniversary of the completion of the railroad) it passed a resolution exonerating Mr. Ames. The Union Pacific Railroad erected a monument to his memory at Sherman, Wyo., the crest of the road, 8,550 feet above the sea.

AMERICAN PEACE SOCIETY. This society was organized in New York city 8 May 1828, and was formed by the merging of many State and local societies, the oldest of which, The New York, dated back in 1815. Located in Boston from 1837 to 1911, headquarters were removed to Washington, D. C., 1 May 1911.
# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Ames, Adelbert

Edition of 1920. See also Adelbert Ames on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
AMES, Adelbert, American soldier: b. Rockland, Me., 31 Oct. 1835. Graduating at West Point in 1861 he was assigned to the artillery and served through the Civil War with distinction; was wounded at Bull Run and brevetted for gallantry there; took part in nearly all the battles of the Peninsular campaign, in Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Antietam, Gettysburg and before Petersburg; was brevetted colonel, was brevetted major-general of volunteers for conduct at the capture of Fort Fisher and major-general in the regular army for general conduct in the war. From 1868 to 1876 he was in the thick of the “carpet-bag” troubles; upheld by United States troops, the negro vote and recent immigrants, and bitterly fought by the mass of the white inhabitants, Mississippi was among the last of the revolted States to accept Reconstruction or the War Amendments as fixed facts and the preponderant negro population made the race problem more acute there than anywhere else in the South. The elements at Ames' disposal were unfit to base even a decent civilized structure upon, and the State soon went into anarchy tempered by local vigilance committees. In 1873 he was elected governor of Mississippi. His governorship was charged with sacrificing the civilized interests of the State to the blacks, and on 7 December there was a sanguinary race riot at Vicksburg, followed by others throughout the State. Ames sent to Washington for more troops to maintain order, the white party countered with fresh charges, a congressional investigating committee was appointed and for two years the State had — like several Southern States through this period — a formal government perfectly powerless, and a real government consisting of the rough consensus of interest among the larger white landowners. The legislature which met in January 1874 impeached Ames and all his executive officers; the State administration was paralyzed; the national administration tired of upholding impossible local governments; and Ames finally agreed to resign if the impeachment were withdrawn. He at once removed to New York; later to Lowell, Mass. In the Spanish-American War he was a brigadier-general of volunteers.

He was graduated at the Geauga Seminary, Ohio, and ordained in 1849 as a Free Baptist but later became a Unitarian and succeeded James Freeman Clarke as pastor of the Church of the Disciples, Boston. He was editor of the Minnesota Republican, the first Republican paper in the Northwest, in 1854, and the Christian Register of Boston, 1877-80.
