never o,oned. received, or agreed to re-
cefpe any stock Of the Credit Mobitier, or Of
The linton Pacific Railroad, nor any divi-
deads or PROFITS arising from either Of them.
From Judge PoIands Report. Feb. Is, 1878
-Garfeids Testimony Pe,5ured.
The facts in regard to Mr.. Garfield, az
| found by the committee, are that he
| agreed with Mr.. Ames to take ten shares
| of Credit Mobilier stock, but did not pay
for the same. Mr.. Ames received the
eighty per cent, dividend in bonds and
seld them for ninety seven per cent, and
also received the sixty per cent. cash divl-
dend, which together with the price of
the stock and interest," left a balance OF
ESQ. This sum was paid over to Mr.. Gar
field by a check on the Sergeant-at-A Arms,
and Mr.. Garfield then understood this
sum iOds the balance Of dividends after pay
ing for the stock.
From the Net0 York Times. Feb. 10, 1878.
Messrs. Kelley and Garfield present a
most distressing figure. Their particle
patton In the Credit Mobilier affair is com.
plicated by the most unfortunate contra
dictions OF testimony.
From the NetO York Times. FEB. 20, 1873.
The character of the Credit Mobilier was
no secret.The source OF its profits was very
well known at the time Congressman
bought 1t. Though Oakes Ames may have
succeeded in concealing his own motive,
which was to bribe Congressman, their
acceptance OF the stock was not on that
account innocent. The dishonor of the
act, as a 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 the testimony Of several Of
the members. THIS can only be done on the
ground that q Is untrue. But untrue teai-
nlony given under oath Is morally, v not
legally perjury.
1t is the clear duty of Congress TO visit
with punishment all who took Credit
Mobilier stock from Oakes Ames.
From the Ne,0 York Tribune, FEB. 10, 1873
James A. Garfield of Ohio had ten
shares never paid dollar: received 1929,
which, after the investigation began, he
was anxious to have considered as a loan
from MIR. Oakes Ames to himself.
Well. the ckedness of all of 1t is that
these men betraye ed the trust of the peo-
pie, deceived their constituents, and by
evasions and falsehoods confessed the
transaction to be disgraceful.
From the NelO York Tribune, Feb. 20, 1873.
Mr.. Ames establishes very clearly the
point that he was not alone in this offence.
u he Is TO be expetted for bribery, the men

We have repeatedly invited Repub.
licans to come over to the Democratic
side and help us to change the policy
Of the country from one of great ex-
travagance to one Of retrenchment and
reform. This is an excellent oppor-
tunity to make this change. General
Hancock is a favorite with all parties.
He was not more partisan than was
General jackson to whom the country
was attracted, and of whom, since his
death, his former opponents in the Re-
publican party, have spoken in the
most exalted praise. In proof of what
we say we offer the remarks of our
Republican contemporaries. In addi-
tion to. what the Times says, above,
the Republican of this city, says;
"If General Hancock had the Re-
publican party at his back his seti-
ments might be applauded to the
echo"
The Nesos, Of this city, adds its tes-
timony, as follows:
"The tone of General Hancock's let
ter is excellent. There is displayed in
it much of his character. 1t is the let
ter of a soldier and a gentleman. He
has no criticisms of the Republican
party to make, for he sympathized
with the work of that party and helped
it on himself"
Now, what greater inducement can
any honest Republic an ask to vote for
Hancock, than is offeredp

A SPLENDID EXCURSION. - The
cheapest and most delightful excursion
that will be given during the season
will be that of the Jefferson Club to
take place on Thursday. No GENTLE
man and lady could take more enjoy
able ride. The inducements offered
are varied as to conveyance, and rich
entertaining, and instructive as to
scenery and the information to be
| gained. The ride on the railroad is
through delightful country, through
many flourishing towns and cities
and the ride down New York Bay in
view of Governors Island, the great
East River bridge, through the Mar
rows, passing the great Notifications,
and out to sea to reach the great iron
pier at Coney Island could not be ex-
celled. The view of the shipping in
the harbors of the three great cities,
and the hundreds of water craft ply
ing the Hudson and East Rivers is of
itself sight Of more value than the
price of ticket for the whole excur-
sion. But Coney Island, as it surpasses
all other watering places, Is the great
attraction, and thousands upon thous-
ands visit its great pier daily. Go by
all means if you wish ride that will
pay.
In addition the excursionists will be
afforded the pleasure of view of the
great iron pier as it appears at night,
under its thousand of various colored
lamps.

IN addition to all that we can say
TO our brothers of the Republican par
ty of Delaware we will quote here, for
their benefit, what Republican who
has just declared for Hancock says
His reasons are forcible, and ought to
have weight
"Justice of the Peace Chas. p. Nj
coll of the Fourth Assembly District,
Jersey City, has been a Republican
since the party was founded. He has
spent his money and energies in its be-
half for many years. When internal
corruption endangered it's future, he
fought against it, and when dissen-
sions sprang up in his district he
counselled and practised the necessity
of self-sacritiee for the party's good -
When interrogated as to the motives
! which prompt him to cast off his old
party ties, Justice Nlcoll SAID

GEN. HANcoCK's LETTER TO GEN.
SHERNAN.-It is a rare thing to find a
great metropolitan newspaper, reprint
ing in a succeeding day IS issue pri-
vate letter, because of the peculiar
wisdom, ability and craftsmanship it
displayed upon great and importan
political matter at a most momentous
period. The Philadelphia Times, of
yesterday, reprinted the letter of Gen.
HANCOCK to Gen. Sherman, and in do
ing 30 accompanied the republication
with such remarks of approval as are
only made when the writer is impress
ed with a sincere and profound admir-.
alton. In fact we do not remember a
single instance of the kind where a
letter of candidate was deemed of
such vast Importance for the ability
displayed by the author. In his re-
marks the able and experienced poll
tician at the head of the editorial corps
of the Times, says of the letter
"It is emphatically his own produc-
ton, and not only The product of
his own pen, but it is an honest
declaration of his duty as a soldier
"and citizen in an emergency that
made politicians of all sides quake
with fear. Without intending to dc
aught else than define his duty as a
military commander, the obedient
servant of the civil law, he has dis
played the soundest and broadest
statesmanship, and his confidential
utterance to his chief, that is min
gled with his home affairs and home
improvements and home enjoyments
will be quoted henceforth by all par.
ties as the clearest definition of the
civil and military powers of the gov.
ernment In case of conflicting au.
thority that has emanated from eitheI
" field or forum"
When it is remembered that the edi
tor of the Times had been life lon
opponent of the Democratic party
and General Hancock had been all hi
life Democratic, the free of tn
commentator of one of the ables
Journalists of the day, will present it
self more fully to the reader. Th
Democratic party in this instance, a
in former ones, has presented TO tn
people for their election to the Pre- s
dency one of the most profound an
yet unobtrusive citizens of our gres
and rapidly advancing Republic.
In addition to his great ability an
wonderful sagaciIy, he is one of til
ablest, if not the ablest of all our abb
Generals. In fact the comp liment tn
General of the Army did him in wri
ing for his opinions which were 6
freely rendered in the letters und,
consideration, proves that he was hel
among the foremost if not the first so
dier of the period in intellectual trai
ing as in all the qualities that go
make up great commander in Il

Condensed from the Lansing Republican.
The sixth annual report of the board
of control of the state public school for
dependent children at COldwater for the
year ending September 80 last, has just
been issued. Their report proper covers
IL pages, but, combined with the super
intendent's and physicians reports
makes pamphlet of 25 pages. The
members of the board Of control are
James Burns, of Detroit, Henry H. Kinds
of Stanton, and G. ID. Randall of Cold
water. The superindent is Lyman P
Alden, and the attending physician is
d. C. Powers. -rf
The schOOlis situated one mile north
of the heart of the city, ON a farm of II
acres, and tho total cost of the outfit is
$lS9,OO0. The school was opened May
| 21, 1874, since which time 776 children
have been admitted. The accOmmOda-
tiOns are now for 300 children. Each year
strengthens the conviction of the mem
bers of the board that the Michigan sys-
tenn of treating dependent children is
the most humane and economical that
has been adopted by any government, to
prevent crime and pauperism and to
save the offspring of the poor.
Most of the work contemplated by the
appropriations of the legislature has
been completed this season, without
creating any deficits in the special funds,
nor is any expected in the current eX-
pense account. The twO-stOry additions
to the five old cottages, the new kitchen
on the west side of the dining-rOOm, and
the new dining-rOOm for employees, al
tered from the old kitchen, have been
completed, and add very much to the
comfort, convenience aud better work
ing of the institution. A plat of about
two acres has been set apart on the high
er ground. for grove and cemetery, and
will be underdrained and planted with
native trees. With the cottage additions
more thorough ventilation has been
secured, and more extended dOrmitOry
rooms furnished.
The average mental, moral and physi-
cal standing of the children was never
better. The county authorities are send
ing less of those who should be III re-
fOrmatOries and more of the dependent
ones for whom the school was establish
ed. The generous men and women OF
Michigan are asked to assist in prOcur-
ing homes for these children. The total
number of boys in the institution since
it opened i'm 1874 has been 51S and OF
girls 25S; average number in attendance
during the past year, 1O6, OF whom 6e
were boys and 3S girls. Of this number
1O1 were white and five cOlOred; 76 OF
native parentage and 30 of foreign; IL
were orphans, Al half-Orphans, 39 have
pareuts living. Sc come from poor houses
20 have had parents convicted OF crime
and 80 have had parents incorporate
The ages of the children vary from 3 tC
19 years.
The expense of maintenance was $34,
OBS q, or Sill 81 per capita. This is
lower cost per capita than in any former
year. There have been cared for at tht
institution and placed through its agency
in families. 297 children. Among the
460 children and employees who have
been connected with the school during
the past year, thare has been but ont

THE oUrRAGEIN MAINE.
Garcelon & Co. Refuse to Abide the
Decision of the SUPP eme Court.


Last Saturday the Supreme Court of
Maine considered the questions submit
ted by Governor GarcelOn and took occa-
sion to review all the questions bearing
upon the result in dispute. The decis-
ion of the court was unanimous, and
was directly adverse to the construction
placed upon the laws by Governor Gar
celon and his advisors. 1t was to be
hoped that the decision would have led
those in authority to remedy the wrongs
they had done, and respect the verdict
rendered by the people Of that state at
the polls, as Governor GarcelOn had de-
clared all along that he had only been
carrying out the street construction of
the laws, and that if any wrong had
been committed it was the fault Of the
law and not of the canvassing board,
which had only declared the result as
ascertained under the election laws of
the state. Their action since, however,
would indicate that they only made this
subterfuge, under which they could
could commit great wrong upon the
electors of that state. Not only have
they refused to respect the decision of
the highest tribunal of the state, but, in
face of that decision, have proceeded to
cOnsumate the wrong they conspired to
commit uuder the cloak of executing the
laws of the state. The summary man
ner i'm which the court sat down upon
them, we think, can leave no doubt in
the minds of any honest person as to
what was their intentions from the first.
1t has been ascertained that the Execu-
tive Department in more than fifty cases
since Maine was State has asked for
the judgment of the Supreme Judicial
Court on important questions of law,
and never in single instance had it
been disregarded before, leaving it to
GarcelOn and his cO-adjutOrS, sworn to
execute the laws, to establish the prec-
edent of a great steal i'm defiance of
such Judgment.
The following received by telegraph,
Thursday, is the latest from the seat of

determined to carry out their designs:
