The Mcclure Charter-The BALLOT PaDer
Question.

SAN FRANcIsco, April 3d-The Citizens
Council being in doubt as to whether or not
the present Consolidation Act will expire on
the 4th of July, asked the legal opinion of
J. P. Hoge, j. Mem. Shafter, S. Nj. Wilson
and A. J. Rhodes. These gentlemen have
united in recommending the adoption of the
Mcclure charter, as amended by the Senate.
with some further minor changes which they
suggested. The Council adopted the recon-
mendation, and have nominated twelve or
fifteen of their number to go to Sacramento
and urge the adoption of the Mcclure char
ter, with the amendments as suggested.
At a meeting of the Board of Election
Commissioners to-day, after disposing OF the
routine business, the Mayor said the Board
would meet next Monday to canvass the re-
turns of the late election. Formal protests
would be entered against the canvass, on the
ground of the illesality of the color of the
paper used. Nobody believed it would
amount to anything, but he thought the
Board should be prepared to meet the ques-
ton. Auditor Dunn and Attorney Murphy
thought the Board had nothing to do with
the subject, as it would be matter for the
Courts to decide. The above remark of the
Mayor would seem to indicate either that he
had been misrepresented as saying that he
would endeavor to raise contest over the
matter, or that he has receded from his for
mer position

A Sample Straw.

have no recollection of national
campaign in which the tide of popular
sentiment set SO decidedly, so visibly
and so entirely without check, IN one di.
rection, as at present. There have been
campaigns in which many voters aban-
doned their political associates and sup.
ported the nominees of the rival party.
But those changes on the eve of elec.
tions were rarely confined to one party.
There were acquisitions in both parties
in compensation for defections, gains
and losses, of which the balance could
not be drawn until the votes were count.

day, from the hour, of the nomination
of General Hancock at Cincinnati, the
current has been running continuously
in his favor, many prominent Republi
cans heartily supporting him, while
there have been no counterbalancing
changes from the party that nominated
and supports him. An incident occur
red few days ago illustrative and char.
acteristic of the party politics of o.day.
A number of gentlemen, Democrats
and Republicans, met casually at no.
tel on Fourth street, in this city, and
were exchanging some good.tempered
banter on politics. One of the party, a
Democrat, alluded to the popularity Of
the present contest in the particular to

active, prominent, influential Republi.

publican remarked, in reply: "Oh, that
amounts to nothing there are changes
at every election, Hancock will no
doubt lose as many as he will gain, and
in the end the swaps and changes will
be about even" "Do you know the
Republicans | have named p inquired
the Democrat. IL know them all, was
the reply. "Are they avowedly and
actively for Hancock ?" "Well-yes !"
"Can you name one Democrat who will

Hancock a Soldier, Statesman, and
Constitutional Lawyer.

In a speech delivered at Columbus,
Ohio, on the 25th ult., Senator Thurman
said
"There is not man in this audience,
there is not boy in this audience, who
does not know that Winfield Scott Han.
cock was one OF the brightest, the ab.
lest and most daring and brave of all
the soldiers that went TO the war to
maintain the Union. (Applause.) No
man who ever commanded an army
ever displayed more courage, more he
roism, or ever displayed more skill than
Hancock displayed from the time he
went into the war until it was closed in
triumph. Everybody knew that; but
there is one thing that every body does
not know. Hancock has been in the
army all his life. aud therefore you

What Was the Credit Mobilier 4!

This question is frequently asked.
The New York Journal Of Commerce in

bilier was joint stock company found.

q banking business, TO facilitate the
construction of public works, and TO de.
velop national industry. 1t was called

dealt in everything, it promoted every
thing, il divided as high as III per cent.
per annum to its stockholders. it made
ell its managers enormously rich, but il
came to grief. and in 1867 went into
liquidation. The Credit Mobilier of
America was organized in 1868, with a
capital of two aud half millions. In
January, 1873, the charter was pur
chased by company authorized to con.
struct the Union Pacific railroad, and
the stock was increased to $3,T50,000
This rose to great value (the profits
being made chiefly out of the construc-
ton of that thoroughfare) and enor.
nous dividends were declared. In
1872 in the course Of some legal pro-
ceedings in Pennsylvania il came out
that certain members Of Congress and
the Vice President were either secretly
or openly connected with il as stock.
holders. Congress investigated the scan.
dial. The Senate committee made re.
port recommending the expulsion Of
an implicated Senator, and censuring
others, but IS his term expired in five
DAYS no action was taken on it. In the
House resolutions censuring two mem.
bers were passed."

Clearhcld Republican.
There is nothing that so heaaly dis.
counts the public career OF the Radical
nominee for President as the testimony
OF his own party friends and organs.
We call to the witness stand the editors
OF the New York Tines and the Tribune,
the two leading Radical organs. and all
that we ask the reader TO take in is
| what they said about the Credit Mobil.
ier fraud at the time the crime was be-
ing investigated by Congress, a body
composed of twothirds Republicans.
We are particular in giving the dates
when the organs in question uttered
the naked truth. OF course, the edi.
tors at that time never dreamed that
| Garfield would be nominated for Presi.
dent. Read what they then said about
their present nominee. The statements
below are not Democratic lies, but Rad.
ical truths, uttered when the hearts OF
the writers possessed the facts, and
| gave impartial utterance:
| From the New York Times, February ~, 1873.
Messrs. Kelly and Garfield present n
most distressing figure. Their participa-
| ton in the Credit Mobilier affair Is compl-
Gated by the most unfortunate contradic-
tions of testimony.
From the New York Times, February 20. 1873.
The character of the Credit Mobiler
was no secret. The source of its profits
was very well known at the time Congress
men bought it. Though Oakes Ames may
have succeeded in concealing his own mo-
tive, which was TO bribe Congressmen
their acceptance of the stock was not on
that account innocent. The dishonor OF
the act, as participation in an obvious
! fraud, still remains.
Some of them have INDUCED in testimony
with reference to the matter which has
been contradicted. The committee dis.
tiaetly rejects the testimony Of several Of TIE
members. Thus can only be done on ne
ground that it is untrue. BIT untrue tes.
timony gireH under oath is morally, If moi
legally, perjury
1t is the clear duty of Congress to visit
with punishment all who took Credit Mo.
bilier stock from Oakes Ames.
Prom the New York Tribune. Feb. -, Is73
James A. Garfield, of Ohio, had ten
shares never paid dollar; received 1929
which, after the investigation began, hC
was anxious to have considered as loar
from Mr.. Oakes Ames to himself.
Well, the wickedness Of all of Il is that
these men betrayed the trust of the people
deceived their constituents and, by evasion,
and falsehoods, confessed the transaction
TO be disgraceful
Prom the New York Tribune, Feb. %, 1879.
Mr.. Ames establishes very clearly the
point that he was not alone in this offense
II he Is to be erpelted for bribery, The men
,oho icere bribed should 90 srith him.
Reader, remember the Tines remark
"Mr. Garfield presents most distress
ing figure" And the Tribune "Jame,
A. Garfield OF Ohio, had ten shares
never paid dollar" and, "if Ames /.
TO be expelled for bribery, the men who
we're bribed should go with him. Con
gress did not heed the remarks. Ames
was expelled, and it killed him. But
Garfield, Kelley & Co. still hold seats in
Congress, and the former has the impu
dence to ask the honest voters of thil
country to elect him President. Well
that won't happen.
