GEN. GARFIELD AND THE CREDIT Mo-
BILER-In reply to a letter from x'Gov
Ryland Fletcher, Hon. Luke p. Poland
writes under date of July 2. rs follows:
| have mislaid or lost my copy of the
evidence taken by the credit mobiler
investigating committee, and their report,
and although have very clear recollec-
ton of the general features of the whole
matter, | should not attempt to say any
thing in regard to details, without re-
perusal of the volume. But if | had it
before me it docs not seem to me that
there is occasion or need that | should
review it for the purpose of replying to
such attacks Oh Gen. Garfield as you have
copied from the New York Express, or
similar ones which may be found in many
other democratic papers.
The transactions of MIR. Ames in credit
mobiler stock were more than dozen
years ago; the full investigation of the
matter by the committee of which | was
chairman, was over eight years ago At the
time of the investigation, the public mind
was greatly excited on the subject, and
it involved the character and reputation Of
so many prominent men, that probably
no more personal matter was ever sc
thoroughly canvassed and discussed by
the reading and intelligent people of thi:
country. After the most exhaustive dis
cusson and reflection the judgment of the
people of this country was made up as tc
each man who was named as connected
with it. Saying nothing in regard to any

fully and absolutely acquitted Gen. Gar
field of all wrong either in act or intent
in relation to the matter. No nun coul,
have been continued in pablo life, and
constantly risen in public standing ant
in the public estimation, by the consen
and approval of the best men of boil
parties us Gen. Garfield has if there exist
ed suspicion of wrong doing against him
regard this popular and continued yer
dict of the people rs conclusive. Everl
effort to reopen and unsettle it will in M,
Judgment only recoil upon those who at
