Gen. CarfleId's Credit MobIlIer
Record,

From his ODn StOOTn Testimony before the
Poland Committee, Jan. II, 1873.
neuer oDned received, or agreed to re-
eetre any stock Of the Credit Mo6iner, or Of
ne Union Pacific Railroad, nor any oiui-
dends or prodtS dr1sin0 from either Of them.
From Judge Potands Report. Feb. Is, 1873
-Gdrtetd's Testimony Perjured.
The facts in regard to Mr.. Garfield, as
found by the committee, are that he
agreed with Mr.. Ames to take ten shares
of Credit Mobilier stock. but did not pay
or the same. Mr.. Ames received the
eighty per cent, dividend in bonds and
sold them for ninety-seven per cent, and
also received the sixty per cent. cash divi-
dend, which together with the price Of
the stock and interest, left balance OF
$329. This sum was pad over to Mr.. Gar
field by a check on the Sergeant .at-Alms,
and Mr.. Garfield then understood Mis
sam Wds The balance C( divtdeads after pay
ing Jor the stock.
From the NeW York Times, Ecb. 10, 1873.
Messrs. Kelley and GARFIELD present II
most distressing figure. Their partici-
patton in the Credit Mobllier affair is com,
plicated by the most unfortunate contra
dIctlons vi testimony.
From Tie NeU York Times FEB. %. 1873.
The character OF the Credit Mobilier was
nosecret.T The source Of Its profits was very
well known at the time Congressman
bought 1t. Though Oal1es Ames may have
succeeded IN concedling his own motive.
which was TO bribe congressman, their
acceptance oi the stock was not on tuat
I
act, as II participation in AN obvious fraud
still remains.
Some of them have INDUCED In testi-
mony with reference TO the matter which
| has been contradicted. The committee
distinctly rejects He Nstimony Of SeUeraL oj
Hie members. This can only be done on he
ground that IL is untrue. But untrue teai-
many OiUen under oath Is morally, u mol
te0dtty, perjury.
1t is the clear duty of Congress TO visit
with punishment all who took Credit
Mobiiier stock from Cakes Ames.
From U,e NetO York Tribune, Feb. 10, 1877,
James A. Garfield OF Ohio had ten
shares; never paid dollar: received $329
which, after the investigation began, ht
was anxious to have considered as loan
from Mr.. Oakes Ames to himself.
We'll, the wick edness OF all of IL ia thai
these men betrayed the trust of the peo.
pie, deceived their constituents, and by
evasions and falsehoOds confessed tn,
transaction to be dlsgi aceful.
From the Ne1O York Tribune, Feb. 20, 1873
Mr.. Ames establishes very clearly In,
point that he was not alone in this offeI cp

"THE BLOODY SHIRT" LIES
From day TO day the Republican issues
column after column of stale bloody
shirt lies, for election purposes, just as
if its readers were the most ignoraut
people in the world, and had never
read Grants speech after he had Wis
tied all the Southern States, and in
which he asserted that he found order
and loyalty to the old flag in all of
them. The articles of the Republican
could not be true, nor could they be
credited by intelligent men, who yet
affirm and believe the Southern people
have been industrious and frugal and
the land made to yield such an abund-
ance Of all the cereals and larger sup
ply of cotton, tobacco, rice, &C., for
expectation than ever before. While
the Republicans were in power in Con-
grsss whole armies were kept in the
South, at an expense of millions of dol
lars. Since these armies have been
withdrawn, the States have been more
orderly and peaceful than even the
Northern States, where twice the num-
Der of murders, assassin ations, mask
cd robberies, wife murders, and sui
oides take place. Every day furnishes
its recitals in the Northern press Of
the quarrsls and fights and murders OF
wives and even Of children by parents,
and parents by children, in the North
srn States, while a murder in the
South is very rare occurrence unles,
it is by some bad negro that kills q
white woman or white man. Bad peo
pie inhabit all parts of the earth, anC
of course there are some in the South
but while these are mostly black Re
publicans, their bad deeds do not BE-.
gin to equal in number the atrocitie,
that are committed by the bad people
in the North, from which no poli:ica
party pretends to build up recort
against the millions of good peopl
whose morals are continually beinj
shocked by the reading of recitals 0
this kind. Even on their railroads th
morality of the men who run them il
the South must be superior since the
have very few accidents and no live
are lost by careless, vicious, drunkel
firemen or engineers, as i'll the Mort
where day after day we hear it chArg
ed that engineers and conductors de
serve to be hung as willful murderer +
of women and children. "Let us hay
peace" all over the Union, which tn
election of Hancock and English wi
be sure to give US.

Why HONEST REPUBLICANS SHOULD
NOT VOTE FOR GARFIELD The
chief reason that is furnished by the
mass of Republican newspapers and ora
tors for asking votes for Garfield is that
the present officers who now live upon
the government may be held in their
snl 6 places. This is not wise. This
class of Republicans have held office for
twenty years or more, and it is unaen-
erous, if not unjust, to continue these
offices in the hand, of one class of men
so long. Now, 1t would seem that
Messrs. Logan, Cameron aud Conkling
of the enc faction, and a few leaders
such as Sherman, Jewell and Blaine, Of
the other faction, imagine they own the
country and have right to the Offices.
They have divided the most lucrative

TEE sWIgDL1NG FIELD.

The New York Stock Exchange has Just
succeeded in bringing to grief swindling
firm which has been fleeing the public for
more than year, and which is believed to
have received and made away with not
less than 100000. The method of opera
ton appears to have been ngularly in
artistic and clumsy, yet it proved to be
quite adequate. Tie firm pretended that
it had mysterious means of ascertaining
beforehand any rise and fall in the stock
market, and on the strength of this pre-
tense it invited the public to deposit money
in its hands, to be invested under these
favorable auspices. And though the swim
die was almost naked one, it seems that
the gulls hocked greedily to the lure,
and despite repeated warnings from the
Stock Exchange, insisted on depositing
their money. In view of this and similar
cases it may with reason be asked whether
1t is possible to protect the public against
the consequences of their own credulity.
1t would almost seem that there must be
people so silly that if the crop of swindlers
ran ont they would begin to throw their
money away upon the streets. It is in
vain that stringent laws are passed, that
frequent exposures are made, that the press
ventilateS every new roguish device as
soon as it is put in operation. The gulls
go on walking into the traps which are set
for them, and the chances are that if any
one tries to warn them of the danger they
are mourning they will only resent the in
reference as impertinent. 1t was favor
tie theory OF Thackeray that certain peo-
pie were born TO be swindled, and certain
Others to swindle them; and that it was
therefore perfectly useless to try to save
the pigeons from the clutches of the
hawks. Such cases as the above give ad.
ditional plausibility to this notion, and sug.
gest the wisdom of letting the pigeons
alone to encounter their destiny as best
they NAV.

INITIATIVE GRIMES.


It is well known that there is a strong
tendency towards the imitation of peculiar
crimes and modes of suicide. In the latter
case it has sometimes been found necessary
to prohibit the ascent of public monu-
ments, because it had become epidemic to
jump from them. Several years ago pair
of French lovers fastened themselves to.
gether with ribbons and then threw them
selves from certain bridge into the Seine,
and in short time three or four other
couples followed suit. An illustration OF
this initiative tendency has just occurred
in San Francisco. The other day Pearson
and his wife poisoned themselves with
laudanum. Forty-eight hours later an.
other pair of lovers adopted precisely the
same means of shutting off their mortal
coil. We do not know whether the stran-
Cling of Frederick Drell was suggested by
the manner in which Wheeler killed his
sister-in-law, but it is by no means inn
probable. The fact is that there are fash
ions in murder and suicide, as any one can
prove by carefully examining the details
of such crimes for considerable period.

SHERMAN AND GRANT.

General Sherman has always been very
free talker, and has gained the reputation,
not only in social but literary circles, OF
being quite Indifferent as to the conse-
quences of his remarks and structures upon
Others. 1t appears that the proposition to
give Grant the new title of Captain-Gen-
eral, and to put him at the head of the
army in some unexplained Pickwickian
sense, has offended General Sherman, who
does not at all relish the talk about retir-
ing him to make way for anybody. Conse-
quently he has unbosomed himself to
reporter, with the natural result
OF causing a decided sensation, and
OF giving at least one prize donkey
the opportunity of showing that
he has subjected himself to Court-martial
under the Articles of War, for speaking
disrespectfully of the President. General
Sherman would even ventura to speak dis
respectfully of the Equator. if the hu-
NOR took him, and the country will agree
with us that he has earned the right to
talk as iniudiciously as be lleasss, despite
