From the Boston Journal Sept Is,
A CARD FROM NON OAKES AMES.
His Reply to the M'Coomb SANDER.

His Reply to the M'Coomb Sisnder.
We publish below reply from Hon. Cakes
Ames to the charges which have been current
for some time duplicating him in an attempt
to corrupt certain members of Congress as
long ago as 1868. The authority for this bit
of scandal is one II. S. McCoomb. and the
medium through which they first saw light is
that highly sensational sheet, the New York
Sun, which thrives upon stupendous frauds,
real or imaginary, and fails to meet public ex-
pectation unless its columns contain at least
one highly spiced dish each day for the delec-
tation of its readers. For weeks it has found
in McCoomb ample material for highly spiced
charges against Mr.. Ames, who is arraigned
for misdeeds which he explains so thoroughly
In his brief letter, that the bubble is pricked
and this wholesale political SANDER falls to the
ground 1t has been the good fortune of Mr..
Ames TO escape the calumny of those who
nave sought to divert him from the main OBJ
Ject he had in view when he took hold of the
great enterprise Of building the Pacific Rail
road. He aimed to carry that road through
in the shortest possible time, ard he and his
associates succeeded in connecting the Allan
tic and Pacific oceans by iron bands six wears
in advance of the time given by Congress to
perform the work, thus saving millions of
dollars to the Government and comforting up
on the nation great benefit.
Those who know Mr. Ames are aware of
his personal integrity and his reputation as a
business man. He is not, perhaps, very
methodical man or one who believes that the
world is free of scoundrels. He trusts that
others are actuated by the same motives which
govern him, and his confidence is sometimes
misplaced. But through all the ups and downs
of his even,ful life, and while carrying upon
his shoulders weight that might have test
ed the capacity Of giant, no one can ques-
ton that his ambition was a laudable one.

The returns OF the vote in each congress

columns this morning. 1t will be seen
that the republican candidates were hand

Governor Perham and considerably great
err than the majority for Congressman in
1870. We fear these figures will drive

necessity Of a change. By adopting
this plan it would put it beyond the
power of any man to make the selection
of text books a specializing transaction.
And more, under such law the very
same books could then be purchased at
a cost Of one-third to one-half less than
they now can, under the present system
and the reason is a plain one: the pub
fishers know that the books must be
purchased and consequently they ask
their own price for them.
But the bill goes further and says:
"The General Superintendent OF free
schools may, from time to time, add to
the foregoing list OF text books such
branches of study. and text books there
for, as may, in hisjudgmeDt, be deman-
dei by the progress Of the free schools
OF the State, and after five years from
the passage of this act, may make such
changes 10 the text books above pre-
scribed az shall, in his judgment, be
expedient." l also deem this clause
Objectionable for the reason that the
State Superintendent could, by entering
into a compact with a publishing house
(if be were dispoaed to so abuse his
trust). make fortune by educating his
judgment To believe that the progress Of inc
free schools Of the State demanded other
books, dc. 1 think it unwise to offer
these temptations, because mems Judg-
ments are generally apt to accord with
their interests, and in this land we have
everyday illustrations Of the fact that
officials are only human.
Yours truly, BARBOUR.
