G. R. Farley was chosen chairman.
E. j. Miller, and Henry A. Parsons,
Jr., secretaries.
Jerome Powell offered the following
preamble and resolutions which were
unanimously adopted by the Convention:
WHEREAS, A crisis has arrived, as
we believe, in the affairs of our county,
which claims the attention of all gtod
citizens; that, through the workings of
party machinery, the people, who pay
the taxes and should be the dictators,
have absolutely no hing to say as to
whom shall be entrusted the affairs of
the county; AND WHEREAS, Certain
unprincipled and irresponsible men,
through trlckery and fraud, and misrep-
reservations of all kinds, have managed
to get control Of the dominant party, and
have placed in nomination a ticket loca
In its character, and for the most part,
notoriously unfit for the various positions
to which they aspire, and entirely
against the wishes Of the majority of the
party, and the masses of the people who
foot the bills; therefore, be it
RESOLVED, 1st. That il shall be our
aim this day to place in nomination a
ticket composed of honest and capable
men, selected from the people, by the
people, untrammeled by Ring dictation,
without regard to past political views,
or location.
ID, That we deprecate the growing
disposition manifested by reckless and
designing men to work upon local
prejudice for the purpose Of turning our
county cfices into avenues of profit for
themselves and their unprinciped IA
vorites, 10 the great detriment of the
public.
Sd. That we shall require of those
this day nominated, and elected on the
second Tuesday of October, the strictest
economy in the administration of publ,
affairs.
4th. That at the present time, while
the industries of the country are to
some extent paralyzed, it is more than
ever important that we not only require
prudence and economy in administra-
ton, but that we abstain from all ex-
penditures for public improvements, ex-
GOVT spnh as are absolutel ~ necessary for
the safety or W u.,fuIo or the country,
The following nominations were then
unanimously made:

NOTES ON THE LNVESTIGA ATTON.

Has Mr.. 0akes Ames any explanation to
offer of the remarkable discrepancy between
bis statements about Mr.. Colfax and the story
of Mr.. Colfax himselff Mr.. Ames was pretty
confident" that the Vice-President had paid
him for ms stock, at par, in December, 1857,
or January, 1853, and that the money had
never been returned; it was his impression
that he had drawn the dividends and handed
them over to Mr.. COlfax; and he believed that
Mr.. COlfax still owned the stock, though it
had never been transferred 10 him. Mr.. Col
fax declares, on the contrary, that he surren-
dered the stock after paying Mr. Ames only
$500; that Ames still owes him that amount !;
that he told Mr.. Ames not to trouble himself
about repayment; and that he never received
any dividends. Mr.. Ames has very bad
memory; but we cannot understand his for
getting an incident like that.
The value of Credit Mobilier stock, which
Members of Congress were allowed to buy at
par (and pay for or not, as they pleased), may
be estimated from the second days cross ex-
animation of 0akes Ames, published yesterday
by THE TRIBUNE exclusively. Mr.. Ames testi4
fed that in a period of 80 months from April,
1866 to December, 1868, the Credit Mobilier
declared twelve dividends, amounting in the
aggregate to 1906 per cent, and over GOO per
cent of this was divided after July 4, 1868.
The thrifty legislators, therefore, who bought
shares at 100 in the Spring Of 1868, got back
ak times as much as they put in before the
close of the year.
MIR. Ames received from the trustees of the
Credit Mobilier 375 shares of stock. to be placed
in Washington "where it would do "most good.'
We have not yet learned how he disposed of it.
He acknowledges assigning shares (some of
which, according to other testimony, would MT
stay assigned,) to the following persons To
Mr.. Colfax, 90; Mr.. Patterson, 30 Mr. Henry
Wilson, 90; Mr.. Painter, 30; Mr.. Dawes, 10 ;
Mr.. Bingham, 30; Mr.. Garfield 10; Mr.. Kelley,
10; Mr.. Scofeld. 10; Mr. James +. Wilson,
10; and Mr.. Allison, 10. Total, 1s0; leaving
1876 unaccounted for. Who got themF Mr..
Ames was asked by the Committee, "Have
"you mentioned all the members of Congress
"who took stock in the Credit Mobiier ~
and he replied, II have mentioned all that
"have been named here.n But Mr. Ames,
like the Hon. Sam .Slingsby, has "a beast of
81 memory" andalie was little uncertain
whether there might not be other members of
the House who ought to have been mentioned.
If the Committee want to investigate to find
I" out" we advise them 30 pursue this branch
Of tho case little further.
