The Credit MObilier.

Ames' testimony on the 22d, fortified as it
was by transcripts from his books, created
more sensation than any inciden mt of Congress
sional investigation for many years. 1t left
Mr. Colfax in the same position as Senator
Patterson except that there was no final set
Element. Both Garfield and Kelley took the
shares, and Ames carried them, and let the div
idends pay for the investment. Both received
first dividends in bonds, which Ames sold, and
applied on their purchase, and both received
the balance due from the second cash dividend,
1929, in check on the Sergeant-at-Arms. He
never had any talk with either about the trans
action being one of borrowed money until
since the investigation began. Garfield called
on him and requested him to consider it
as borrowed. Ames testified that he de-
posted $4,000 with the Sergeant-at-Arms,
which he had drawn as dividends on
the stock he carrying for
the various gentlemen interested,
and that he paid them by such checks as have
already been described, and the books of the
Sergeant-at-Arms would show they had been
paid and charged to him. He testified that the
evidence of Speaker Blaine, Senator Wilson,
Representatives Dawes Scoheld, and Bing-
ham asgseed with his books and his recollec-
tions. The evidence of James F. Wilson was
also entirely correct. His evidence and that of
Mr.. Allison agreed, except on one point. Mr.:
Ames did not remember that Mr.. Allison had

Finding Longitude at Sea.

A very elementary acquaintance with
nautical instruments enables seamen to
determine the latitude of vessel. But
ascertaining longitude SO as to be moral
ly certain of the exact position of the
ship in relation to its distance from any
particular port, island, mountain, or
dangerous rock in the ocean, requires a
very accurate knowledge of the motions
of the earth in the vast orbit traversed
in its circuit round the sun.
When it is noon at one place, it is ex-
actly I o'clock in the afternoon some
where else, at another, and at anoth
er. Time, therefore, is constantly differ
ing every moment, reckoning from any
point on the earth. The reason why it
so happens is because this world runs
sixty miles every four minutes, which is
fifteen miles minute, one mile in four
seconds, and quarter of mile in one
second-the tick of watch-apparently
towards or from the sun, going east or
west.
With such facts a navigator competent
to direct vessel across q trackless ocean
must be familiar. Without making
miniature treatise, defining degree, the
value of a chronometer, or perplexing
the mind of unprofession1 readers with
how longitude is ascertained east or west
from Greenwich, or any other national
meridian, the object contemplated in
this paragraph is to impress them with
| the order and undertaking revolutions OF
the heavenly bodies, which enable man
to steer off into the wide waste of mighty
seas, confident in the resources of science
to find his way in safety to any section
of the habitable globe.

Sea-Sickness Abolished.

Mr.. Henry Bessemer, In letter to the
London Times, remarks !: 81 am re-
joiced to say that the very able men who
direct the affairs of the Bessemer Saloon
Steamboat Company have lost no time
since its formation in issuing their con-
tracts to ship builders and engineers. SO
that we may in ten months from this
time hope to see the horrors of the
middle passage removed forever. In
it's place an agreeable hour and quar-
ter's trip will break the monotony OF a J.
railway journey between the capitals OF
England and France. To this end, SO
devoutly to be wished, lam looking Tor,
ward with unbounded confidence, and
with that intense pleasure which the
great realization of a great aim m lie
alone can inspire. ss

animation of Cakes Ames was continued. He
was first Intercepted as to John A. Logan g

PLANTATION was, that Logan agreed to take the
stock as a speculation; that his first dividend
! paid for the stock and left a balance of 1923,
which was paid to Logan in the shape of a
check; that Logan took the check, but In a
short time afterwards returned the money, to-
gether with the interest thereon, for the time
which he had kept it, and which amounted to

as to how members considered the agreement
to take stock, Ames came to the case of Sen
ator Patterson, of New Hampshire. Taking
the published testimony of the latter, he
turned to that portion of it denying thai Pat
terson had received any dividends from his
stock or had received any money whatever
on account of the Credit Mobilier. Here
