Instead of going home To confront his
constituents, and to defend hls acts which
have been 80 justly condemned, Mr.. GAH-
FIELD has found il most prudent TO loitCr
about Washington since the adjournment
OF Congress, two months and half ago,
seeking the congcuial fellowship ~ others
und'r the same Ian, and fouiiyng his
intimacy with the Ring, n if in the hope
Of compcnsatmg by now gains what lac has
lost III moral standing among honorable
men.
On the ~ Of March, in the expiring
hours of the late dishouuTed Congress, Mr
GARFIELD rose to "A personal explanation
III the House. He put on an air of injured
innocence, and affected 10 complain that
the committee had not recalled him when
testimony which cOntradicted his sworn
statement had been taken. This little
demonstration was got up for effect, Mr.
GARFIELD was invited, like Others impli-
Gated, To appear before the committee,
and he knew by the daily reports IN the
newspapers the exact course of the pro-
ccedings. 1t was his right and privilege to
be hcard at ills own pleasure, TO have WIT
any that might be called. Everybody un-
derstood why he never put in more than
the first and only appearance, and did not
dare to dispute the latest revelations maze
by Mr. AMEs, who had originally tried to
save him from the disgrace and ruin into
which he Is now sunk.
In timing this complaint so that there
could be no possible action upon It, Mr
GARFIELD exposed his motive and excited
the contempt OF some who had been pre-
Nlously disposed 10 pity his errors. InstcnC
Of proitlng by that paltry dodge, he los

American Credit in Europe.

American Credit in Europe.
Few Americans vet appreciate the wide
sproad injury inflicted upon our GOOD
name and financial standing i'm Furope by
the recently deycloncd frauds and corrup-
tions of lending citiz,ns and pullic ofticers
of this country.
Early last ,viutor so,no American o,ntlo.
men went to London with "A business, pro-
icct Of pretty large dimensions for the pur-
pose OF inducing English capitalists to in
vest The project had substantial basis.
and If sufficient money could be procured
To carry it through. nobody donbtod that
il would in due time yield very large
profits. Before the American promoters
of the scheme left this country they had
prepared the way for its favorable con-
sidcration in London by full correspond
cncc with capitalists Of that city. They
embarked with all needed proofs of the
worthy character of their undertaking,
and armed with letters from some of the
ablcst lawyers and foremost business men
on this side of the Atlantic.
For while everything went well III
London, and the negotiations were ON the
high road towards success. But by and by
there was turn in the tide of affairs which
made the shrewd capitalists of the British
metropolis pause and look around with an
| inquisitivc, thoughtful air. First there
came floating across the Channel the de-
cision of the Court in Paris In regard to
! the alleged frauds OF the transcontinental
| railway, wherein Gen. FREMONT, who had
been a candidate for President, and
/ Maior-G eneral in the army, was involved.
! This, however, did not break up the nego-
tiations, and after little while they raj
! lied and took n fresh start.
But hardly had they revived when there
| came over the sea reports OF the startling
! exposures before Congress of the Credit
Mobilize bribes, the Pacific railway frauds,
and the purchase of seats in the Senate,
| which dragged through the mire of cor
! t1Iption many Of the highest officers of our
| Government, aud some of the best known
! American names. Along with those scan
! duls, which implicated the Nice-Presidcnt
i'm office, the Nicc-President elect, the
Chalrmcn of the chief committees of the
House, and leading Senators, came the in
vestigaiions 10y the New York Legislature
into the frauds and bribery attending the
Erie railway rcvolution-a subject wherein
English capitalists took n special interest
which implicated gen. sicKLrs, our
Minister TO Spniu. and many other rromi-
nrut Americans.

lie explained these figures by claiming
as his due 81 900 of Union Pacific Railroad
stock, 81 900 of Credit Mobilicr stock, and
800 of stock or bonds"
And yet in the face Of this tanning
proof furnished by himself, Nh GARFIELD
now has the ellrontery to declare that
during the progress OF the investigation
there was nothing in my conversation or
correspondence with Mr.. AMEs in any lrdy
inconsistent with the facts as given in my

FAX had boldly forsworn himself, the

A Great Library Under the Hammer.

The Perkins library, noticed at length
in THE Sun several weeks ago, was disposed of
at auction at Hanworth Park, near London, dur
ing the first week in June, and the choice lo,a
ns rule, seem to have rcoir-od vonsidero-
bly, above the estimate OF booksellers and
hlhiiomaniacs. The two Mazarne Bibles,
the one printed on veum and the other
ON paper. formed the great feature Of
the sale, tho former fetching tl700O and the
latter Sl3450, which is far ahead of any sum
heretofore paid for any printed book. The copy
Of Faust and Schdrcr's Bible Of l462 fetched
$500, and that of:Miles Covcrdales Q535) 5000.
The first folio Of Shakespeare, on the other
hand, brought only $2,a25, or several hundred
dollars less than the price obtained for a
copy no more perfect than this in 1854. The
CaXton editions sold fully up TO the estimate.
The illuminated manuscripts were ia great de-
mand, and Iydgate's " SCge Of Truye" was
knocked down for the handsome sum Of $1,000.
The " Hundred Tales of Troy" by Christine de
Pisan, brought $3-l5O; the Evangelisterium," a
MS Of the tenth century, $2,s25; a Romance
Of the Life Of Christ, Sc, Of the fourteenth CEN
tury, 5000; " IIor@ adj Usum Romanum," a
and the "Euvres Dverses" Of jean de
Meun, splendid MS. OF the fifteenth
century on velum, oopiously illustrated, $3.50.
These prices will serve 10 illustrate the zeal Of
contend'ng collectors and also the abundance Of
money In England, In which country most Of the
hibllpgraphical treasures brought together by
Mr.. Perkins seem likely to +, main. We are not
aware that any work OF special value was pur-
chased on American q, count.

Mr. W. LAUDER LINDSAY has some in
terc-ting suggestions In that most instructive
periodical, Nature. respecting the importance ~
preserving the anthropoid animals that Is TO
say, the monAeys, apes. gOrillas, chimpan2ees.
ana orang-outangs-Of Asia and Africa, 80 that In
the progress Of civilization they may not he eS-
tingushed. Mr.. LINDSAY thinks that II as much
care were bestowed In training the moral quail
tics 20 many monkeys or apes ~ II given 20 the
instruction Of hunting dogs ur talking birds, re-
suits Of a startling character would be attained.
There are certain respects, he SAYS. in which
apes and monkeys approach very closely to man.
rhey possess capabilities Of which some II the
almost marvellous stories told us 10y reputable
travellers give but glimpse. These interesting
animals should be tanned, domesticatcd, aud
studied Ia their own climate. The gorilla, fur
Instance, should he pcrietuGted IN Guinea in
domesticity. Ii Is not impossible that some of
these apes might learn To talk; but the great
object, In the view OF this writer, Is L. develop
moral sense, ito produce an animal good In
the moral point Of view, honest, afectionate,
benevolent, aud conscientious in the highest
degree This being done, an the moralizcd
gorilla, chimpanlee or orang-outang being in
,tructed In the use II language, some Of them
might very likely prove great deal better than
many men.

very much in contradiction Of their practice.
While free travel aud passes continue to be ac-
