for the concerted efforts of both parties tc
conceal from the public the transaction:

ness that it was something more or other than
an ordinary business affair between private
Individuals
The Committee further find that at date
subsequent to the date of the purchase of the
stock in the Credit Mobilicr and at a period
when the character of this Credit Mobilicr,
and the relations existing between Il and the
Union Pacific Railroad Company, had be-
come matters of public notorie,y, and must
have become familiar to Patterson; and while
he was in receipt Of dividends from his pur
chase of Credit Mobilier stock, he was still
dealing with Amcs in stocks and bonds of the
Union Pacific Railroad Company and dis
posing of the same in the stock markets in
New York through his bankers there.
The COMMITTEE find, on the statement of Nr
Patterson before the Committee of the House
of Representatives and before this Committee,
II contradictory relation of the transactions
between him and Ames, the suppression of
material facts, and dcnials of other facts,
which must have been known to him when
first called before that Committee.
The Committee can not escape the conclu.
Il
United States in 1857, contracted with Cakes
Ames then and still a member of the House
of Representatives, for the purchase of thirty
shares in the stock of the Credit Moblier Of
America, AT rates greatly below its estimated
value, and subsequently came into possession
of the same; that he received the dividends
which from time to time were declared there
ON; that he subsequently, in the year 1867
dealth with Ames to IA large amount in stock
and bonds Of the Union Pacific for the pur-
pose of profit and disposed of some stock in
the markets of New York, with knowledge of
the character of the Credit Mobilier, and its
relations to connections with the Union Pa
cifc Railroad Company; and, further, that he
had knowledge of the interest of Ames and
his connection with said company. Also, that
the object of Ames in thus dealing with him
was to secure his friendly recognition of the
interests of said company and his own inter
ests therein, and to influence his acts as II
Senator in matters of legislation affecting the
same; and, further, being inquired of in rela-
ton thereto before a committee of both
branches of Congress, he gave false account
of the actions between himself and Ames,
suppressed material facts and denied the eX-
istance of other material facts which must
have been known to him. The committee
have reached the conclusion, after the most
attentive consideration and anxious delibera-
tons which they would tain wish were other
wise, but which their sense of duty compels
them to declare. They submitted the follow
ing resolution:
Resolced, That James w. Patterson be and
he is hereby expelled from his seat AS Il mem

Liver complaint and dyspepsia are the causes of
two-thirds OF the cases Of consumption Many are
now complaining with dull pain in the side the
bowels sometimes costive and sometimes too loose
tongue coated, pain in the shoulder blade feeling
sometimes very restless, and at other times drow-
sy; the food that is taken lies heavily the stom-
ach, accompanied with acidity and belching of
wind. These symptoms usually originate from
disordered condition of the stomach or a torpid
liver Persons SO affected, If they take one or two
heavy colds and if the cough in these cases be
suddenly stopped the lungs, liver and stomach
clog and remain torpid and inactive and before
the patient Is aware of his situation, the lungs are

Of change Of the Constitution itself can re.
lieve the President, the heads of Departments,
and the courts of this duty.
A proper consideration of these facts leads
to the inquiry: Why, then, did the Presi-
dent organize such board, and what posi-
BILE benefit can result from its labors9 Sim
| ply this, and nothing more: The President
and the heads of Departments ought to avail
themselves of all attainable means of inform
alton to enable them to judge of the qualifi-
cations, character, and fitness of applicants
for office before appointing them. An exam
:nation before a competent board of experts
is one rational mode ofacquiring information.
The report of such an examination ought to
receive consideration by the appointing pow
er, as it doubtless does. But it is not con.
elusive, because this is not the only source
of information. The President may have
personal knowledge of applicants of more
value than the report of an examination.
And, if so, he should lie guided by the supe
rior light. In such case it would be his
sworn duty to appoint the party whom he be-
ileved to be the best fitted for any given posi-
ton, even if he had not been examined by
board.
If Mr.. George William Curtis supposed,
when he became chairman of the Civil Ser
vice Board, that the President had abdicated
that the Constitution of the United States
nau Deen repeated, ana tnat ne ana MS DOaru
were clothed with penary power to control
appointments, he is too great an ignoramus to
exert much influence on public opinion.
Hence the implied threat published by the
New York Opposition journals that Mr..
George William Curtis may print letter de-
claring that his resignation was rendered be-
cause the rules of the Civil Service Board
had, in some cases, been disregarded, con-
tains nothing to disturb the equanimity of
people possessing reasonable share Of com
men sense. 1t is in no sense material to the
public whether he resigned on account Of i'll
health or on account of business engage
ments, because his work had been completed.
or on account of an exuberance of personal
vanity. The rules of the Civil Service Board
will remain. and whenever and wherever
found to be beneficial will be applied and en-
forced all the same, whether he or some 9TH
er citizen may hereafter be president of this
Board, or if the Board should be dissolved.
The only practical result of their labors is
the recommendation Of competitive examina-
tons for subordinate Offices. The only posi-
Bile effect OF such competitive examinations is
to enable the experts who conduct it to re-
port the relative qualifications Of the several
applicants. This may throw some light on
the question OF the proprieiy of the appoint
ment of such contestants, and may be resort
ed to for that purpose. Bat ii was never in
tended to be so applied as TO cut off all other
sources of information.
