The Credit MObllieP.

The 9 redit Mobilier matter is still the
subject or much gossip in Washington and
strange stories arc afoat concerning how
the Massachusetts, members were inter-
csted. The correspondent Of the Journal
makes the following statement of facts
which he says will be substantiated when
the result of the Investigation now in pro-
gress is made public.
Governor Boutwell, was offered some
Credit Mobilier, stock at time when he
was seeking investment, but after deliber-
alton he declined to purchase it.
| Gene. al Wilson never owned cent Of
the Credit Mobilier stock himself, but Mrs
Wilson did hold for timc two thousand
dollars of it, purchased with a portion Of
the three thousand eight hundred dollars
donated to her at the celebration of her
silver wedding. Mr.. Ames advised Mr.
AID Mrs. Wilson to purchase twenty
shares Of the Credit Nlobilicr, which they
did.
Mrs. Wilson continued to hold this
stock until McComb FIRST commenced his
demonstra ions. The moment that Gen.
Wilson heard of this he requested his wife
to surrender her stock back to Mr.. Ames
at the earliest possible moment, as he did
not wish to be even indirectly connected
with any matter the correctness Of which
was questioned So the stock was return
ed to Mr.. Ames, who paid back the prin-
cipal with interest to Mrs. Wilson.
1t will thus be seen that Henry Wilson
was never benefited in any way by the
Credit Mobilier, and that he took the
earliest opportunity, after he ascertained
that il was to be disputed matter which
may require legislation, to have his wife
dispose of the stock which she had pur-
chased, and it is well known among Gen.
Wilson's friends that he desired during
the late canvass to publicly state the pre-
ceding facts, but was dissuaded from do
ing SO.
Mr.. Dawes, having some money to in
vest in the early part Of 1867, thought of
buying one thousand dollar bond Of TIE

AT the election in Boston, Mayor

Guided the mayorality count at 2 O'Clock
Friday afternoon, and their figures elect
Henry L. Pierce, the republican candidate

Castor. The recount Of ballots in Ward
Two shows mistake Of about $50 vote s
aud other wards also show discrepancies
that would appear unusual and surprising
if the Ward Tive matter was out Of the
question, Gains and losses for each
Mayorality candidate were found, and
after the debts and credits had been
given on one side or the other the plural
