THE CREDIT MOBILIER.
The Oakes Ames Contract-OpiDio of Judge
Pearson-Obiecttonu to the railing.

Pearson-O Objection TO the railing.
HARRrsBURa. Dec 20.-The Credit Mobi-
lier case occupied Judge Pearson all day, aud
will take up several more days. Hon. John
b. Alley, ex-Congressman from Massschu-
setts, took nearly all the time of the court.
The principal points of his testimony we're
that Oakes Ames took the Pacific Railway
contract entirely on condition to dispose of it
as he pleased.
The parties in interest who we're to receive
the profits had been associated with Mr.
Ames from the beginning, under the Hoxie
contract, and they were all owners in the
Union Pacific Railway Company almost in
exact proportion as they owned stock in the
Credit Mobilier. By the mode of division
under the assignment of the contract, which
was in proportion to the stock held by the
parties, they were made personally liable with
Mr., Ames, which was his desire, they stand
ing between him and danger.
The Credit Mobilier was not directly or in
directly interested in the contract of August
16, 1867, nor was it interested directly or in
directly under the agreement or assignment
of October 10, 1867, further than appears on
the face of the paper
In the dispute of counsel for the Common
wealth, whether not these points should be
admitted as evidence for the jury, Judge
Pearson said that he had formerly, in this
case, held that money given to the stock
holders of a corporation was in effect and law
given to the corporation itself but the Su-
preme Court, in reversing the lower court,
had now drawn a distinction between the
stockholders and the corporation, asserting
that this contract or assignment did not give
themoney to the corporation, but to the stock
holders individually, so that it was con-
sistently now competent for the defense to
show whether or not other parties we're inter-
ested in the matter, and that the division of
profits in proportion to the stock held in the
Credit Mobilier was only for convenience and
equitable transfer of interests.
Mr.. Hall, for the Commonwealth, took ex-
ception to this ruling. The witness then
proceeded in his line of evidence. The rea-
son Oskes Ames assigned the contract on the
10Th of October to trustees was, that when he
made the contract with the Union Pacific
Railroad Company it was the understanding
that he had an absolute individual right
legally to dispose of that contract just as he
should choose; yet it was felt by the parties
in interest, who were really old associates in
the execution of the Hoxie contract, that there
were equitable rights in consideration by
which those parties were to have in some
form and in some proportion an interest in
this new contract

City Affairs.


The civil engineers who were arrest ed
as the Park in the act of surveying the route
of the National Railroad, had final hearing
before Alderman Alexander, yesterday. The
Solicitor of the Park was present, aud stated
that it was the intention of the commission
ers to resist the building of the railroad
through the grounds by all legal means, aud
the persons under arrest were asked what
their instructions were They replied that
they had been ordered to survey the route,
but had not received any instructions 10
respect to the park. Defendants declined to
give bail and were committed.
"A short time before the closing of the
polls last evening at the precinct house
Twelfth and Brinton streets, disturbance
took place, during which Officers Patrick
Quinn, of the Fifth district, and Eastburn,
of the Fourteenth district, were shot, 1t APP
pears that a crowd of roughs visited the
voting place, and, evidently bent upon mis-
chief, extinguished the public lights in the
neighborhood. Considerable confusion was
caused in consequence, and while the police
were moving towards the offenders, dis
charge of pistol was heard, followed by
several shots in rapid succession. Two of
these discharges caused the wounds referred
to. Policeman Quinn was shot in the arm,
and the in Jury was not serious. He was ad-
mitted into the hospital. Eastb1rn was
wounded in the groin, but not dangerously.
He was taken to his home in Germantown.
A young man who gave the name of Smith
was arrested, supposed to have been one of
the rioters, and Alderman Collins committed
him for further hearing.

THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

Its Opening Last kvenng-A Grand Affair
The opening last evening of the new Cham
Der of Commerce was of the most gorgeous
description. The interior was neatly arrayed
and presented handsome appearance. The
first floor was devoted to the purposes of a
restaurant, and was fitted up in style under
the management of Mr.. r. l.. Ryan. The
second floor was used as dressing rooms for
the guests. The main hallkin the third floor
was devoted to dancing. At about quarter
of o'clock the guests began to arrive in
large numbers, and from tLat hour until half
past o'clock a continual stream of beauti-
fully dressed ladies with their attendants kept
pouring into the building. At half-past 8
O'Clock Professor B. X. McClurg's Brass
Band struck up lively air, and
the music was continued at intervals
until the grand opening march, which
occurred at . o'clock. The dresses of the
ladies were very fine, and for beauty and
taste have not been excelled by any public or
private entertainment given in this city the
present season. Everything had been ar.
ranged in the most perfect order, and scores
of well-trained servants were in attendance,
who administered to the wants of those
assembled. Shortly after ! o'clock the dane
ing began with music by Hassler's orchestra,
and continued with slight intermission until
an early hour this morning. Every one pre-
sent appeared to enjoy himself, the affair
proving an entire success, and one which re-
bounds greatly to the credit of those instru-
mental in its getting up. About ~ o'clock
grand banquet was furnished in the lower hall,
which was spread in excellent style. Full
justice was done to it by ALL the exercise of
the dance giving them keen appetites.
large number of our prominent citizens were
present during the evening. The affair was
one of the most select and brilliant which
has ever been witnessed in this city.
The gas-fxtures, manufactured by Corne-
lius & Sons, attracted considerable atten-
ton; and well they might, for there are no
finer ones in any building in this city. They
are perfectly magnificent, and last evening
were the occasion of much comment. They
are so located that the onjoined light is de-
is very pleasant. These fixtures reflect great
credit upon the skill and taste of the Messrs.
Cornelius q Sons.

The German Sanitary Fair was opened at
Horticultural Hall last evening under the
most favorable auspices. 1t is to continue

All yesterday the different sub b-committees
were busy in receiving and arranging the

in carrying out their orders. When the doors

into the hall, and by 8 o'clock the floor and
balconies were filed. The ladies of the fair
were darting hither and thlther, their brilliant
badges attracting universal attention.
About . o'clock the band, under Herr
Oberkirsch, struck up German air, and the
formal opening ceremonies then began by
military march by the band. The Young
Mannerchor singing society then sang ''The

ration, made the opening address. He was
followed by the President of the Fair Associa-
tion, DIR. A. Fellger, who also delivered an
address, as did also DR.. K. Morwitz. The
song ''During the Watch, was now sung by
the Young M@nnerchor Society, after which
DIR. A. Kellner delivered a German address.
The song, "Watch on the Rhine, was now
sung, when his Honor Mayor Fox made short
address.
The hall is most beautifully decorated with
evergreens throughout. The different tables
are ranged around the sides of the hall, while
in the centre of the room is large fountain
on either side of it are tables of fancy goods,
toys, and notions of various kinds, each table
being covered with beautiful bower of ever
