Mr.. colfax and His Memory.

Nj Colfax seems to have u very defective
memory. He undoubtedly received a check IRON
olkes Ames for $1,000; had IT placed to his credit
ia his bank, and yet when put under oath on the
witness stand, unhesiistingly sWore hc never To-
ceived such a check This oath was not taken
without thought or deliberahon. Not only one
time, but several times. Ames was present at the
time, and when questioned by Mr.. Colfax de-
scrbed the check. 1t was drawn in favor Of as
c. This alone should have impressed the check
IN Mr. Cofaxs memory. But there is the fact
proved that he endorsed the check with his name,
By the Cashier of the Bank, and the $500 stood
on the books TO his credit. 1t could not have got
there without his endorsement; and yet the Vice
President OF the United States, after disgracing
that exalted seat, by selling his influence 10 the
Credit Mobilier swindiers, goes upon the witness
stand and IN the face of the whole country stains
his conscience by the use of language and oaths
proved in the presence of many witnesses to be
false This Is shameful, and q disgrsce to the
country, which must be deeply felt by Mr.. Col
fax's political friends We do not wish to mis-
represent this Radical leader. he is only one of
number, and we theref re give his own words
while on the witness stand. He said

received dollar on any account from the Credit
Moblher. never saw this check, and don't know
whether II was signed by o. Ames or Oakes
Ames. Why he made this check payable TO s.
G., l cannot imagine. / could not have added TO
my income 81 200 withou. remembering some
thing about It. During the whole of his four
years he has never proposed to pay me anything 4,
and never told me was the owner of the stock
told MI. Ames l would not buy into a lawsuit
aud that ended the matter between US"
All that was uttered under OATH and as was
proved by subsequent witnesses, falsely uttered.
The circumstances connected with;th check must
have impressed its reception the mind Of the
Vice President. The people Of the United States
will never be made 10 believe otherwise
That this gentleman, since committing the ela-
ring offence of swearing falsely, has been received
by crowded audiences in Philadelphia and Balti.
more, and welcomed with cheers and applause
only prove that the moral attitude Of the people
who utter such applause is notup to the standard
OF morality that theChristan church demands, and
that they need TO correct their own sentiments,
before they may expect 10 impart examples that
will influence others 10 righteousness
1t is certainly TO be regretted by ever, one, that
those who occupy The high PLACES in the govern.
ment now, are SO far below,the standard of honor
which the people formerly demanded OF their
leading Statesmen. The investigation Of the
Credit Mobilier swindle has developed rascalities

hc1n statesmen that is disgraceto the whole

The WESTINGHOUSE Air BIZ

Yesterday morning at nine O'Clock
number of gentlemen assembled at the
depot to go on the trial train to q point a
few miles above the city, for the purpose
of witnessing the test of theWesting house
air-brake, which improvement had been
fitted to passenger train on the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad.
The brake had been partially tested the
evening before with three cars, but Capt.
Jacques wished to give it thorough trial
before adopting it.
Accordingly at the appointed hour, those
| wishing to see the working of the appa-
!! ratus got aboard the train which steamed
about three miles eastward, where the track
was adopted for the test.
The first trial was made while the
train was going at the rate of about thirty
miles per hour and was checked in fifteen
or sixteen seconds and within the length
of the train and two car lengths. The
second trial was on the same ground at an
increased rate of speed, estimated at forty
miles an hour and was checked in seven.
teen seconds within less than two train
lengths. The third and last trial was on
schedule time and was checked in fifteen
seconds in the length of the train.
| Capt. Jacques and Messrs. Ogden, Hodges,
Ambrister Coffee and other railroad men
were present, and were pleased with the
workings of the brake, while the engineer,
Mr.. Michael Frowley, was enthusiastic in
praise of its working. Anything that
| tends to secure safety and comfort to the
travelling public should be adopted, and the
management of the East Tennessee, Vir.
ginia and Georgia Railroad will omit moth
ing that will tend to preserve life by pre-
venting accidents. n

city to so aid us in our enterprise as to en-
able us to issue a monthly journal, devot-
ed to the interests of immigration. Here
tofore we have issued publications almost
entirely at our own expense have devoted
time and money to thework Infringing East
Tennessee to the notice of Northern capital
lists, manufacturers and farmers, and while
our growth has been steady still We have
not yet reaped the benefits that we hoped
would reward our efforts. We are not dis
couraged, however, and propose pushing
our work more vigorously this spring than
ever. We have hundreds of letters asking
for the Land Register, and we have assur-
ance that large number of capitalists will
visit this section soon with a view of in
vesting largely in the different
branches of manufacturing. You
are directly interested in the growth and
prosperity of our city, and you cannot con-
tribute more effectually to that end than
by aiding us in distributing information
concerning East Tennessee.
1t costs you but..a trifle to advertise your
business in the Land Register, and while
you are benefitting yourselves directly,
you are aiding in the development of our
resources and the growth of our city,
