The venerable Poland VIII resume his investiga-
lions into the Credit Mobiler scandal tomorrow,
having gained three days. time by the postpone
ment until then, q dodge that will be played again
and again until the close OF the session can arrive
without the House having had an opportunity to
purge itself OF corrupt members The first inno-
cent victim who will appear tomorrow will be
Dawes who will read his little confession, which
he might have read on Friday or yester-
dy had not procrastination been desired.
This confession will be the Old Garden

corrupted by Ames. But before this investiga-
ton goes on much further account books will be
produced. which will show how, where and when
the stock was placed among Ames Congressional
friends and confirm the statements made in his
scarlet letters to McCOmb. It viii be seen
that the first issue OF stock to Amcs was
on the Goth Of January, 1863, when he
received twelve certificates in blank, Nos. 337 to
a4S, both inclusive These certificates were for
blocks OF stock which correspond with the memoir
andum, viz.-the three first certificates for thirty
shares each, the next for twenty shares each, and
the last five for ten shares each, making go shares
with additional certificate OF thirty shares MAX
ing $50 shares. There is no record OF payment on
these shares. On the 18th of April Ames received
nine additional certificates Of ten shares each and
one for three shares, making ninety-three
shares. For these he charged at the rate OF
$97 per share, and allowed seven per cent for nine
mouths at par value. So all that he paid on these
ninety-three shares was q little over one thousand
four hundred dollars. The first lot was probably
oil distributed, to use Ames' own words, wherever
1t would DO most goods

Accounts have been received that the treaty
