ing no one any good? To withdraw
now would be disgraceful. and it would
expose to certain death all Afghans who
have befriended the English, hence
this cannot be thought of. To stay and
try to rule people who will not sub
init, and who cannot be reached amid
their mountains, and who only appear
when there is easy prey to be secured,
costs many men and much money, and
does no good. The plan of appointing
influential chiefs as governors and mag
istrates, ETC., with small army to pro-
tect them is also very expensive and
dangerous, yet is the best yet proposed.
The chiefs, however, do not agree to do
this as yet, hence the problem remains
unsolved.
The change of Government in Eng
land is also producing some changes in
India. The Civil Service is unchange-
able, and no one can be dismissed but
for fault, but we are to have new
Governor General, and other important
changes will follow. Our new VicerOy is
Roman Catholic, yet he may be more
strictly neutral than his predecessor has
been. The neutrality which means all
kinds ofhelp for the Government church
and no help for any other church OF
religion often becomes a hindrance to
Christianity. E. w. p.

JUDGE JEREMIAH BLACKS VINDICATION
OF GARFIELD.
A Letter Written in February, 1873.


From the beginning of the investiga-
ton concerning Mr.. Ames's use of the
Credit Mobilier, l believed that Gen.
Garfield was free from all guilty con-
nectiOn with that business. This opin-
ion was founded not merely OIL my
confidence in his integrity, but on some
special knowledge of his case. l may
have told you all about it in conversa-
ton, but desire now to repeat it by
way of reminder.
L assert unhesitatingly that whatever
Gen. Garfield may have done or for
borne to do, he acted in profound ig-
nOrance of the nature and character of
the thing which Mr.. Ames was propos-
ing to sell. He had not the slightest
suspicion that be was to be taken into
a ring organized for the purpose of de-
frauding the public, nor did he know
that the stock was in any manner con-
nected with anything which came or
could come within the legislative juris-
diction of Congress. The case against
him lacks the scienter which alone con-
stitutes guilt.
In the winter of 1669-7O I told Gar
field of the fact that his name was on
Ames's list; that Ames charged him
with being one of his distributes ex-
planned to him the character, origin
and object of the Credit Mobilier ;
pointed out its connection with con
gressional legislation, and showed him
how impossible it was for member OF
Congress to hold stock in it without
bringing his private interests in con-
fiict with his public duty. He told me
then the whole story of Trains offer to
him and Ames's subsequent solicitation
and his own action in the premises,
much as he details it to the committee
L do not undertake to reproduce the
conversation, but the effect of it was to
convince me that when he listened to
Ames he was perfectly unconscious Of
anything evil. watched carefully ev.
cry word that fell from him on this
point, and did not regard his narrative
of the transaction in other respects will

imprisonment for Debt in England. |.

A debtor belonging to the county of
Middlesex, who from reasons of the
direst poverty is committed for the
sum, it may be of IS pence, is sent to
Holloway Jail as prisoner on the civil
side. Having been apprehended on II
warrant of the court, he is marched
through the streets in custody until he
| arrives at the frowning portals of HOl-
lOway Jail. There he is admitted by
the jailer in charge with the usual OBJ
lOquy in such cases made and provided.
He is next led across the prison yard
and up a flight of steps to series of
| galleries lined round with separate
cells, in every material respect resem-
