~ Henry Wilson has denied emphatical-
ly that he has ever held any Credit Mobilier
stock, or that he has ever had any property
in the Pacific Railroad or any other railroad
or corporation which has appeared before
Congress for action. Mr.. Blaine has made a
similar denial and when the whole matter is
sifted down, says the Inter- Ocean, it will prob
ably be found that the charge is canard got
ten up for political purposes, and which has
fallen as far short of its mark as it's predeces-
soys have of theirs. Gen. Garfield has added
his name to the list of those who deny ever
having received any Credit Mobilier stock
for services rendered in Congress, or for any
thing else. The Boston Journal of the 18th
contains an address from Hon. Cakes Ames
to his constituents, in which he gives I'M
qualified denial to statements to the effect
that he gave stock to members of Congress
to induce favorable legislation. He states
that these charges were made several years
ago and answered under oath at the time by
himself and other gentlemen of the highest
responsibility and character. That there
was no truth in the charges; that the list of
names given as recipients of stock upon the
back of his letter were not written or fur
nished by him, and that the statement that
he had given or shown such list of names
is unqualifedly false.
