Accompanying this revelation came vast
mass of confirmatory evidence. 1t is all OF
record, in proceedings duly held before an
examiner in the Supreme Court of Pennsyl-
vania for the Eastern District. Mere general
denials will not meet this case. Till
Mr. Ames is forced on the stand
by these gentlemen whose god names are
thus aspersed, the public will believe they
dare not face the testimony that would follow
Meanwhile we invite the attention of our
readers to this further statement, made edl-
torially in Tho Sun:
One of reporters visited one Of the moro conspeu
ous members Of Congress mentioned Mr. Olkcs Amcs's
list and this member admitted to him that, far as he
was concerned the fact In addition to this tcs
timony we now have that Of another prominent Repu0
can in the House OF Representatives, who has person
ally Informed that IN The latter part tof 1867 hep propo
siion TO alIot 10 him portion Of Credit ober stock ras
made 10 him by member ofe Crtdh Mo1aier Company
and it was declined This agent said to our informant
"Al your friends in it," and showed him list or
names written on paper saying; "Thcse are the Son-
ators and members who have an interest"
Now notice the most that up to this hour,
the most unscrupulous Of tho Administration
organs has been able to say in defense:
Having had all their other fabrcations knocked on tho
head they concocted some stupid faschood apOu
Credit Mobier shares and oakes Ames or Ames Oakes
or something OF that kind-and call upon the persons
concerned TO answer We earnestly hope the said per
sons will do nothing Of the kind.
That is all An affectation of ignorance, (or IS
il genuine y about one of the best known men
iniCongress, and one of the leading builders OF
the Pacific Railway; and an exhortation to
its people to make no defense Is 1t not
natural to infer that there is no defense
to make For here is the candidate OF the
Grant party for Vice-President of the United
States, arraigned by a Congressman from his
own State for having been bought with a
bribe of stock in a Company whose interests
depended on his legislation. How can he keep
silent under q charge Of that gravity, from
source of that respectablity2 How can he
fail to demand an investigation How can

HOW TRUTH IS DEFIED.

The NetU- York Times says:
"The original Reconstruction laws, under which Con-
stuonal Conventions elected In the Rebel States
excluded certain classes OF dslOyal men from voting.
When the Constitutional Conventions met in the several
States Constitution was framed for each, some OF
which dsfranchsed Rebels, in Tennessee and Mis-
souri, and the remainder of which did not The disfra-
chisng clauses these Constitutions have since been
peaed and no man is now prevented from voting any
where in the United States account OF having taken
part in the Rebellion"
In the State of Arkansas several thousand
of the more intelligent and prominent citizens
were disfranchised by tie Reconstruction
measures of Congress. HcreuDon, Constitu-
tional Convention incorporated this sweeping
disfranchisement into tie present Constitution
of Arkansas Congress has since, as The Times
states, removed the disabilities of most of the
disfranchised. But the Grant party in Arkan-
sas insists that the great mass remain dIslran-
chised by virtue of their State Constitution, in
spite of the repeating act o. Congress, and the
late Grant State Convention expressly re-
solved that none of them should b. allowed TO
vote this year. They hope to carry TIC State
by this prescription.
Such is tho truth. What, then, i the es5or
ton of The Times?

HlRTRANFTS DEFENSE.

laundering in the index in politics is very
apt to be Intellectual and absurd. The Custom
house organ in this city is especially addicted
to it. 1t makes huge promises as to what it
will perform, especially in the way of vindi-
cation takes time to prepare; gives Ominous
intimatiOn of what it is doing; and when the
demonstration is made it literally amounts to
naught. This was the case, especially, with
the Swedish land job at Chicago. For days
and weeks we were promised a complete ex-
culpation of the President in q matter in which
his integrity was and is seriously impeached !;
and when it came it was a confession with
out avoidance, leaving the fact unquestioned
that Grant and Jones were part owners of an
estate originally acquired by fraud, and that
the moment the money was paid either by Jones
to Grant, or by Grant to Jones, and the quit
claim deed executed, the original agent in the
fraud was honOred by diplomatic appoint
ment, sent out of the country and clothed
with privilege which exempted him from ju-
dicial process, if any of the aggrieved parties
chose to resort TO it. OF this, however, we do
not seek now to say more, but desire to call
attention to another promise which will have
to be kept if at all, very soon. The Times
says, after referring TO the attacks made upon
Hartranft in Pennsylvania: We propose in
few days to give the results of careful in
" yestgatiOn into the facts of the caser This
is cautious, and rather more tentative in its
tone than was the boast about Chicago. In

REPORT on RETISIAG TIE TAX LiES.
No part of the comprehensive platform
adopted at our Liberal Eepublicaa State Con-
vention deserves more general approval than
that commenting the movement for lie r.
vision of our present unjust and bur.icnsome
system of taxation. 1t has not been tic cas-
tom of THE TRIBUNE in yeas5 past to cHpenH
much sweetness upon the EoH. David n.
Wells; but on the appearance OF his report OI
this subject, over year ago, we took pains 10
give it prompt publication, and to express an
estimate of its importance, which was GER
tainly the more deserving of trust because OF
the little inclination We were under to over
praise. The people Of New York, and especially
those business men who have given the SUBJ
iect attention, have been deeply impressed lE
the outrages of the system which Mr. Ne!lS
so lucldly exposed and they Will be glah 10
learn that the judgment of our ConyentoA
has received a singular confirmation III tie re-
markable and very wide appreciation extended
to Mr.. Wells'S report from throughout Europe
The Golden Club, an association of prominent
public men and members of Parliament, have
reprinted in England Mr.. Wells's report to the
Federal Government for 1869, and the two re-
ports on State and local taxation made to our
Legislature; and these documents have been
widely circulated in England, and have be-
come there the topics of public discussions in
the press.
In France the report on general taxation for
1869 was last Summer translated and pub
lished as national document, by order of the
French Assembly; and in all the recent de-
bates and discussions in France on the revis-
ion of the French tax system, no recent works
have been more frequently referred to by NM.
Thiers, Pouyer-Q Quarter, Walewsky, Chevalier,
and Others than Mr.. Weiss more recent Re-
ports to the New-York Legislature. In Aus
tralia, too, where taxes begin to attract atten-
ton, Mr.. Wells's reports are read and quoted.

AT last we have one more utterance on the
Credit MObilier scandal. Mr.. James G.. Blaine
simply declared the story of his ownership in
the Credit Mobilier baseless and groundless
saying lie never owned a dollar in the

Mr.. Henry L. Dawes,-a gentleman to whose
word we are glad to accord greater weight

Ames, long representative in Congress from
Massachusetts, and reputed man of vast
wealth, wrote that he had placed a quantity
of the stock of this Credit Mobilier, whereof
he was master mind among Congress
"men, where it would do most good"
His letter, giving the scandalous de-
tails of this wholesale bribery in his own
handwriting, was produced in the trial, iden-
tilted, sworn to, and otherwise confirmed On
its back was noted the following list, sworn to

persons with whom he had placed this stock :;

We have informed our readers how much
there was requiring amendment in the Insane
Hospital of BlOomingdale. We present this
morning a frightful glimpse of the state of
things in the Insane Asylum On Wards Island.
One of the attendants, named Farrell,
has wantonly murdered one unfOrtun-
ate lunatic and endangered the life
of another by systematic brutalities. 1t
seems as if the contact of low natures with
this peculiar form of helplessness afforded an
irresistible temptation to brutal cruelties.

The Erening Post in its blind hatred of the Liberal
candidate mas fallen so low that it is not ashamed
to say things like the following. Speaking of the
Know Nothing delusion, it says:
IL was no more than frenzy and though many dis
tingushed politicians engaged in it aud many more gave
it "A sdeOng glance OF favor, 10 passed away speedily,
and the nstgators OF It, as well as their dupes, became
heartily ashamed OF their temporary meanness. Now IL
IA used as a ground OF reprOach against public man
that he once squnted In that direction. Mr. Greeley.
Mr. Wilson, Mr. Banks, and we do not know how many
Others would glad to be able to say that they had
peyer even so much coquetted with that mOnstrous
perversion of American principles. They carefully hide
their completely, though it was never 80 small preyar-
cate about It, aud try TO their weakness by
crbing it to other motive than that which was
openly ayowed by their bolder allies."
Is any political advantage worth gaining by such
deliberate falsehoodsi The man who wrote that
paragraph knew it to be untrue knew that Mr..
Greeley had from the beginning to the end of the
KnOw-Nothing frenzy, ,denouncedand deted II, with
out a moments pause or compromise. Yet The
Posfs editor does not hesitate to smrch his
science with that false witness in the hope that scme
ignorant person may hear and believe 1t.
New-York tribune., 1872-09-16

The Grant organs have suddenly discovered that
IT is not wise to push the charge of being an original
Secessionst against Mr.. Greeley Since we indulged
them in some "reminiscences OF the positions of their
leading candidates, Gen. Dix and lyman Tremain,
in the state of NewYork they have all at once as
sumed the defensive "What Of itp they eay ,
Dix aud Tremain are no worse than Mr. Greeley
wasp For the sake of the argument, let us admit
this But you say that MIR. Greeley is bad that ho
is unfit for any place of honor and trust. By your
own argument, then, what is to bo said about Dix
and Tremain

Sunday mentions the rumors that pre-
vailed ut that date in the neighborhood of
Scutfletown, the lair of the Lowerys, con-
corning the fate Of the 4" Herald cores
ponoent who went to interview the out
laws. 1t says that the wife of Henry Ber-
ry Lowery, the leader Of the band, was
seen on Saturday at Moss Neck depot,
where she had come to give to the con-
ductor OF the passenger train a dispatch
from the correspondent to be sent north
from Wilmington. She states "that the
correspondent was at Lowery's cabin near
Moss Neck, on Friday evening about six
O'Clock, when Thomas Lowery, Stephen
Lowery and Andrew Strong suddenly en-
tered it and roughly told him ~ get up and

he spelled with capital F. The assess.
ment upon the property was tiO, but in
consideration of the distinguished great
ness thrust upon Chicsgo by the hind leg
of the lady's COW, and, under the opera
tions of the rebate net, a deduction of 81
was made. Some facetious clerk in the
office of the Commissioner of Taxes had
Illuminated the ladys rebate
paper. He drew the cow
with the crumpled heel that shattered
the lamp. A life-like expression was
given to the heel, which, Mrs. q Leary
declared, was just such another heel us
the poor dead-and-gone COW herself had.
The lady herself was represented like The
mother of Priam, when Troy was burn
ing. She ran barefoot up and down,
threatening the flames, and wearing a
blanket in the alarm of fear caught up.
If it hadn't been for Mrs. OLeary's dis
tinguished animal the board Of rebate
would never have been in existence, and
it is thought they would have done moth
ing more than n generous action to have
related the tax altogether.
