And so there's the testimony The very men
who with a show of indignation last summer
denied any knowledge of or connection with
the Credit MObilier are proven to have lied-~not
by the unsupported testimony of Mr. 0akes
Ames, but by the record evidence, the checks and
receipts, aud written memoranda, about which
there can be no mistake and which cannot be
controverted.
Every one of them is proven TO have sold sock
in the Credit Mobiler, and 10 have received each
his share of its enormous dividends. Even
through the transaction had not worn the badge
OF fraud from the outset in being held by Oakes
Ames in trust for men who were ashamed or
afraid to appear stockholders, the eliminated
members are debarred from pleading that they
were innocent of evil intention by the eagerness
with which they washed their hands OF its last
summer. That Of itself was confession that it
was dishonorable and corrupt They stand be-
fore the country now branded with falsehood
aud covered with disgrace. The very least that
Congress can do is TO expel them.-N Z. SaR.
