EDITOR OF THE PHOENIX: Last Tuesday,
when I gave in the columns of your pa
per fat denial to the false statement of
MIR. Rose, in reference to the prevalence
OF yellow fever in Charleston, at this
season of the year, it was merely in order
to counteract the impression made in the
up-country by his advertisement in the
Greenville lfountaineer. of the 18th inst.
did not intend to enter in any poIemio
with him. But, instead of giving expla-
nations about what might have been
mistake of his, or of the lNountuinee,.'s
editor, Mr.. Rose comes out in the
columns of your paper, OF this day, in
communication in which he makes an at-
tempt ut witticism. and tries to throw
ridicule on mo; therefore, I am COM
PEELED to intrude in your columns.
Mr.. Rose asks, What is the English of
DuBos? My answer is, that DuBos is u
family name, which means merely
DuBos-as Dickens or any other English
name means Dickens; that DnBos can
not be translated in English but by those
five letters, D-u-B.o.s; that I am a
thoroughbred Frenchman; That since I
have cast my lot with the Southern peo-
pie have associated with them during
the war; that I am yet Ito the disgust of
Mr. Rose. probably,) heartily associated
with them in their efforts to shake off the
Radical yoke which tends to degrade
them.
Mr.. Rose asks il I have looked for the
date of his advertisement. I answer
that, under his card OF September, the
11th inst, there is the date OF Septem-
ber 6, avoiding to mention the year;
and, as proof of my assertion, and for
the edifioation of Mr.. Rose, and of the
public, have deposited at the PHOENIX
Office full copy of tie Mouniaineer of
the said day, the 11th inst.-and my
mental stale is clear ana sane enough to
understand why the date of the year has
been left in blank.
Now, If the country merchants whose
fears have been excited by his ADVERTISE
ment of the 11th, call on him (as Mr..
Rose suggests) he will attain his object
In obtaining customers for his hotel-and
this controversy will have not been in
vain for him.
Mr.. Rose is facetious and attempts to
show his scholarship by saying that my
dltdch on him looks 6ooine, decidedly.
Fdrceurl Why does he not tako the bull
by the horns2 Try it, Mr.. Rose. Re-
spectfully, L. DUBOIS.

I have gone. four from Massachusetts,
one from New Hampshire, one Delaware,
one Tennessee, one.half Ohio, two Penn
sylvania, one Indiann, one Maine, and
have three to place" The company had
authorized Mr.. Oakes Ames to "place''
this stock in such a way as would help
the road. The following. from the testi-
nony given in this extraordinary case,
throws food of light on it:
Q. What distribution of it was made
by Mr.. Ames? A. He gave it to mem
bers Of Congress. Senators and Repre-
sentntives.
Q. What was paid into the Credit Mo-
bilier for that stock which Mr. Amos
distributed in the way you mention? A.
This stock, which Mr.. Ames took as trus-
tee, had paid to it all the dividends of
the company, from the dute of the or.
ganization of the company down to the
time when that stock was delivered to
him, and none of these proceeds,
amounting to severul hundred per cent.
in value, were paid in. The par value
only was paid in.
@. Do you mean by giving. that these
shares were gifts i'll the nature of pre-
sents? A. I do.
Q. You understand, then, Mr. Ames
to mean that these shares were to be
presented without value paid to members
of Congress? A. I understand from Mr..
Oakes Ames that they were substantially
gift, the parties to whom the stock was
said to beappropriated receiving through
him, as their trustee, more than suffi-
uos hi TO ,-sl Il.
for the same, and that he, out of their
assets. paid into the treasury tho par
value of the stock.
Q. Did you understand from Mr.. Ames
what was the motive for allowing these
persons to take this stock ut par, when
it was 30 valuable that part of the div-
dends suf1iced to pay the par value? A..
The motive understood was to secure
the influence and support in Congress of
the men to whom the stock was given.
Q. Influence and support for what?
A. For anything affecting the Union Pa
cific Railrond Company in Congress.
More than two weeks have elapsed
since the publication, in full, of Nc
Combs testimony, of which we havo
given synopsis. The Vice President,
VIC A1SSACt"iJ VI tu0 IIcubuIS, LIS Cuu
didate for Vice President on Grants
ticket, and leading members of Congress
are implicated in these TRANSACTIONS, und
convicted by this testimony, unless it is
traverscd and shown to be false. Nune
of the parties charged have responded,
except Mr.. Speaker Blaine-who makes
briefsan unsatisfactory and evasive denial.
He ss5Yhcthing of his colleagues, and
they nave said nothing for themselves.
Oakes Ames is q Radical Granite, md
their intimate friend. Has he borne
false witness? It concerns these parties
to settle this question soon. Their
silence in the face of such damaging
charges, such startling revelations, is, to
say the least, ominous. We should think
that, if innocent, they would hasten to
show it. As it stands, it is q scandal of
unparalleled magnitude.

1.-THE MEETING HERE Melton, Cur
ney and Ransier spoke here on Friday
night. Melton repeated his slandcrous
speech against Tomlinson, and endea.
vored to defend Moses in tho pay certiti-
cate business. by shifting the load upon
the Senate. Rsnsier here nudged the
speaker, who faltered out, Il d-d-don't
mean to c-charge Ransier with it.,
b-b-but the Speaker p-pro tenn
Ransier made speech in his usual style
of non-commitalism. No ono could
tell who he was for except himself. The
crowd was small and rather disposed to
put embarrassing questions. A few
strikers around the stand did tho chcor-
ing Beaufort Republican,"
From the above, I infer that Judge
Samuel w. Melton means insult and a
personal issue. I accept the result OF
that issue. But it remains for me to
say, that one who has associated himself
with MieUes, shall be recognized to stand
on the level with gentlemen. No one
can feel Judge Melton's degradation
more than do, but for my purposes,
and in order to lift him up, and give
him standing place among gentlemen,
now denounce him to bo liar, pol
troon and coward.

This list. be it remembered, was drawn
up by Republican member of Congress
from Massachusetts. It had no political
intent. "It meant business" and busi-
ness only. It comes to the public eye
now only through lawsuit between one
OF the capitalists of the Credit Mobilier,
Col. McComb, and the Credit Mobilier.
It is only the doorway of the cave Of the
Forty Thieves, too, not the whole cave.
But it is open, aud the whole cave will
be explored. Meanwhile. before the
torches are carried in, will these men
speak? They are charged by this list
with dishonor and dishonesty. Their
silence is convicting them. Ono Of these
men is candidate for the high Office of
Vicc-Presidcnt Of the United States.
Henry Wilson, Of Massachusetts,, con-
victed already by your own words of
equivocation and false witness, you now
stand charged by Oakes Ames, man of
your own State and your own party, with
bribery and corruption! Will you plead
to the charge? Another Of these men is
the actual Secretary of the Treasury.
Under President whose own hands and
life were pure, he would n week ago have
been called to choose between disproving
the accusation now fastened upon him
aud resigning his control Of the national
purse. George s. Boutwell,. Of Masaa-
chusetts, convicted already by your own
acts of deserting your official duties to

It is a sad thing to pass through life only halt
alive. Yet there are thousands whose habitual
condition is one Of languor and debility They
complain of no specific disease; they suffer no
