to receive any stvell Of the Credit.
Mobilirr or Of the Union Pacific
Railroad, nor ANY dividends or pro-
fits arising from either Of them.
From Judge Poand's Report Feb. 1s,
lS13-Gartield's Testimony PICTURED.
The facts in regard to Mr. Garfield,
as found hy the committee, are that
he agreed with Mr.. Alnrs to take ten
shares OF Credit MobiIicr stock, but
did not pay for the same. MI Amcs
received the eighty per cent. divi.
drnd in bonds and sold them for
ninety seven per cent, and also re
cciv"d sixty per cent. cash dividend,
which. together with the price of the
stock and interest, left Il balance Of
f329. This sum was paid over to
Mr.. Garfield by check on the Ser
@cant n Arms, and Mr.. Garfield then
understood this sum was the balance
Of dividends after paying for the
stock.
From the New York Times, Feb 10. 1873.
Mcsars. Kelley and Garfield pre-
sent = most distressing figure, Their
participation in the Credit Mobilicr
affair is complicated by the most
unfortunate contradictions OF tcsti-
monN.
From the New York Times, Feb 20, 1873
I The character Ofthc Credit Mobi-
lirr WAS no secret. The source of it's
profits was very we'll known ut the
time tonGrcsSmcn bought it. Though
| Cakes AlHcS may have succeeded in
c"ilC"aling his own motive, which was
! 60 hlihc congressman, their accept
| amcc Of the stock was not on that ac-
count. The dishomor Of the act, rs Il
participation i'll III obvious fraud,
still remains.
some Of them have indul9cd in
testimony with reference to the mat
ter which has been addicted.
/ Tie committee distinctly rejects the
testimony Of several OF the members.
| This can only be done on the ground
tnal il is untrue. But untrue tcsti-
mony given under oath is morally, if
not legally, perjury.

James 4. Garfield Of Ohio had ten
shares; never paid = dollar; received
800, which, after the investigation
began, he WAS anxious TO have con
sidcrcd as a loan from Mr.. Oakcs
.\nlcS to himself.
Well, the wickcdncss of all Of it is
that these men betravcithc trust OF

him, do you think you would care to ask any
man what the Chicago Convention would probably
pot Why, the question would be settled now as
clearly as twill alter the Convention 0djourns The
whole question If any question remains Is whether
official power and patronage, electioneerlng poll
tician and money can prevail against the conyic-
tons and conscience Of an overwhelming majority
OF thoughtful, earnest Republicans. The prevail
ing idea Of the canvass against General Grant Is
most extraordinary. II is little less than menace
not to support him IL majority see fit to nominate
him. The party which allows itself 10 be bullied
by minority deserves the faio Of g. government
which allows itself to be bulied by mob. Rei-
ther deserves to live and neither will live.
NEW YORK AND THE SOUTH.
Q.-Can General Grant carry New York2 AIN
my belief, without doubt and by larger ma
jonty than any other man could obtain.
. Q.-Can he carry any Southern Slater Al be-
lleve he can and my advices on this point are tho
greatest marvel Of the canvass. After the South
was made solid and tho Republicans there nban-
doned and trampled upon, II seemed impossible
for any Republican to receive q majority or TO
not likely TO be deceived In at least four southern
States now describe condition of things there
which gives me great confidence that General
Grant Will receive majority vote and q vote
backed by determination which will make 1t
hard to CHOKE or viate the count in several South
ern States
SURE OF GRANTS SUCCESS.
Q.-Then you feel very sure of Grants success at
tho convention and at the polls? Al have not a
doubt of his triumphant election, and | feel just
as sure of his nomination as | do of the courage
and common sense Of the Republican party, and

evidence of"the inso!ence otOtlice' but there
