Credit MobiI1er.

This term, as used in America, sig
nifies an interior combination or
'sring," organized by the managers
of corporation, through which, by
means of contracts made with them
selves by themselves, (they being the
directors of both of the outside cor
poration and the interior ring or
credit mobilier,'') all available funds
credits and receipts of the corpora
ton proper can be made to pass into
the hands of the inside manipulation
In other words, an American credit
mobiler is a method of robbing q
corporation and yet escaping the
penitentiary-a legal fiction, under
gnise of which stocks, bonds, fran.
ohises and assets may be formally, de-
IiberateIy and safely stolen.
This method is well known to have
originated with, and to have been in
vented, devised and first put into OPP
Grafton by one Samuel j. Tilden, of
New York, gentleman who, having
accumulated fortune of several MIL
lions of dollars through its instru-
mentality, is now put forward by the
by the brazen Democracy as the
Democratic Conservative "Reform"
candidate for the Presidency.
Mr.. James Parton, in his "Manual
for the Instruction of Rings pub
lishod in 1866, says: "7his plan (the
credit mobilier) ,oas first adopted as
far as kno,0n, in the United States, by
an eminent lawyer of VAL street, S. ]
TILDEN
The testimony taken by the Con-
gressional committee on the Union
Pacific Railroad, in 1872, shows that
Mr.. Tracy, Judge Black and Samuel
J. Tilden, Gall Democrats) were the
principal attorneys of the Credit
Mobllier of America" that Samuel j.
Tilden was a large stakeholder in
the Credit Mobiler, and that Samuel
J. Tilden was counsel for both cor
porations, the Credit MobIlier and
the railroad company at one and the
same time. These facts are testified
to by Cornelius S Bushnell, one of
the directors of the Union Pacific
railroad, and by others. The witness
es also swear that they were assured
by Mr. TIlden that the Credit Mobi-
lier scheme, by which the Govern
ment and the investing public were
robbed out of 100000 in con-
struction contracts alone, was q COM
pliance with the law. See Cong.
Reports, PIP. "a 357.
A lawyer who takes fees from both
sides is generally considered dis
reputable character. A man who en-
ters into q conspiracy to rob bis fell
low citizens or the public is usually
termed thief. Yet Samuel j. Til-
den stands convicted upon the rec
ord both of just such violation Of
professional honor and of a pecuni-
airy partnership in just such crime.
And the performers" Of Tammany
Hall present this same Samuel J. Til
den as their chosen candidate. Tho
candidacy may be esteemed afpro-
pirate.

Court literally petered out last week
though it has legally held open until to>day.
1t was the LATEST kind Of a court-a poor har-
vest for lawyers and hotel keepers. Except
the disposal of few dilatory motions and a
few divorces but one case was tried.
"A lap,robe, two horse blankets, and two
brides were stolen from Mr.. Jno. P. Lewis's
stable on Sunday night. The horse-thieves
who took them stole also wood~saw, a bucket
and hoe, probably to make people think
they were neighborhood thieves. Let every

Tilden's Perjury.

If the following statement had
been anything else than living fact +;
if in the smallest particular it had
been the invention OF Imagination; if
from the beginning it had rested on
nothing firmer that airy speculation,
how many eager hands would have
long since buried it out of sight. If
untrue, SO appalling an accusation
would not long have been allowed to
stand against candidate for the
highest office in these United States,
and have been permitted, day by day,
to stare in the face every reader in
the land. How glad would be the
uneasy standard bearers of Tilden if,
with the white hand of truth, they
could but wipe the dark blot out of
his record The giant, impossibility,
however, stands between them and
the consummatlon of their wishes,
and, standing where it does, they
will also find that is stands between
them and victory, next November. A
prominent eastern lawyer, in discuss
ing the subject, says: 81 see no
escape from the perjury record of
Tilden. 1t is precisely the same kind
of proof, and apparently just as de-
cisive, as that upon which haYe
convicted number of men. l never
knew evidence of that kind to leave
any good defense open, or to weaken
upon trial" The following is the
