Mr.. l.. p. Clark of this town had a
gathering at his house last Saturday,
May 3, to witness the shearing of two
of bis stock rams. One of these rams,
called Generals Brother, four years
old, weighed 1859 pounds, and sheared
q pounds of very fine, long stapled
wool and not very oily. The fleece
was just one years growth and just one
pound heavier than the fleece sheared
one year ago from the same ram. II
was the opinion of the gentlemen pres
ent that this fleece would cleanse away
much less than the fleeces of most stock
rams. Another stock ram, l.. l..
Clark's 119, weighed 125 pounds, and
cut 20 pounds and five ounce of fine
nice wool, but somewhat more oily
than the other. We have just seen a
letter from q gentleman in Ohio, giving

fleece was clipped by MIR. Inskecp, the

GARFlELD,s PERJURY.
A Clear Statement from Judge Blaok.

|
EDITOR SUN-Sir: Your ques-
tions are entitled to candid an
swer. will set down their sub
stance and give my reply to each
one in the order you put them:
| l. Did 1 mean In my letter to
Mr.. Blaine that Gen. Garfield &C.
knowledged the receipt of stock
and dividends from Oakes Ames ?
| Unquestionably he agreed to
take the stock, and did receive div
idends upon it. The letter plainly
implies that he he had not conceal
ed, nor tried to conceal the fact
from me. But his admission was
coupled with a statement which
showed him to be guiltess.
II. Did he declare to me that he
would go before the Poland Com
mittee and testify truly that he had
taken the stock?
L had no previous conversation
with him about his testimony be-
fore the Poland Committee, and /
did not know what it would be un-
til l heard it delivered.
Ill, Did L advise and urge him
10 Tell the trutn
No; certainly not. Such advice
and urgency would have been q
most outrageous insult, which 1
could not offer to any gentleman of
his character.
Nv. Did he agree to adopt the
line of defence suggested by me?
You seem to think that | was his
counsel. was not; but, as his
friend and a believer in his perfect
innocence, was extremely
anxious that he should get safely
out of this unfortunate business.
After it began to be discussed in
the newspapers, and before the
committee was appointed, 1 be.
sought him to make no statement
for the public eye which might be
Inconsistent with what he said to
me. Lest he might forget it, or
lose the important points of it, l
repeated the substance of it soms-
what carefully. He did not reply,
and learned soon aiterward that
he had authorized total and fiat
contradiction. simultaneously, the
other members of Congress who
were implicated made separate
statements of the same kind. assur-
ing the public that they never had
taken or owned any OF the stock, or
received any dividends npon it.
V. Why, according to my under
standing of the fact, did Garfield
adopt defence so contrary to that
he had agreed on?
have already said that he made
no agreement about it. His reason
for abandoning the true ground of
his defence was, doubtless, the me-
cessity he felt himself under of
making common cause with his
political friends, for whom there
was no refuge except in funda-
mental talsehood. am, with
