SCHUYLER COLFAX.
We COATES Up to Tue day, when Amcs

been f.arfully tempted, and had actually
touched the pitch, was iudubnsble; but that
he accepted dividends from The stock AID
then swore ike trooper that he had never
seen or touched dollar, was more than we
man. Yet the chain OF evidence is dreadful
y binding.
AS long ago as Wednesday Of last week
Amcs had testified that he had not only soid
stock to Colfax, but that he had paid him
dividends on it. This Colfax promptly and
stoutly denied. Next day, Ames produced
the check for $1,000 on Ordway, sergeant-at-
arms of the house, which he declared he had
personally delivered to Colfax and which Ord
ways books showed had been paid. Bat as
the check was payable to IS. G. or bearer
Colsay insisted that that Was no proof 1t had
Deea pam to him. The scene between Coliax
and Amcs At this time was intensely exciting,
each swearing with the utmost po'itlveness,
yet dec dedly opposite. The scene ended Dy
Ames declaring "yOu know my Statement l.
true and no amount of hard swearing can
make it otherwise
On Monday Ames made some further states
mepta to back up his accusation against Col
fax, but on Tuesday morning he produced a
clincter. This was Colfsx's bank account, by
which it was shown that, the very day after
the $1,000 check had been paid ty OIlway,
Coliax had deposited what seemed te be tue
identical $1,000 to bis own private account in
the bank where he kept hic accounts. On this
evidence Cotax gave up Ames IS an incorriSi-
bic, and asked the Senate to appoint special
committee 70 investigate the matter, winch
that body refused to do, on the ground that
