WEDNESDAY EVENING. JUNE 1880.
(Tarheld,S Defense.

The Philadelphia Press introduces in |
defence of Garfield letter written by
Judge Black at the time of the Credit
Mobilier investigation, in which he ex-
presses his conviction of the innocence
of Garfield Of any guilty knowledge OF
that fraudulent association. Judge Black
is a very good witness to put upon the
stand, even though he speaks as 'ne
friend and counsellor of CARRIED. II
would be prudent, however, for our ke-
publican friends not to laytoo great stress
upon Judge Blacks opinion, as there eN-
lists possibility that it does not remain
the same now as then. And it would he
inconvenient to find the judge renounc-
ing an opinion upon which Republican
faith in Garficld's innocence is founded.
1t would he better for his defenders to
point out evidence which shows his lnno-
cence. if there is any.
Thus far Mr.. Garfield has produced
nothing but his own averment. The
case against him is founded upon the ad-
mitted fact that on the books Of the Credit
Mobilier company he appeared as an
owner of stock. Oakes Ames, the dis
tributor of the stock among the favored
conrressmen. testified that Mr.. Garfield
had ten shares of the stock. and pro-
duccd an account showing that it had
been paid for out of the profits, and that
a balance of 1929 had been paid III cash
to Garfield 10y himself.
If Mr.. Ames and his memoranda are
believed. Mr.. Garfield is OF course con
yictcd. IIecould not have received from
Mr.. Ames check for 1929 without
knowing what it was for. The defense
he makes is the only one possible to him
He denies that he received this money
lie admits having borrowed $500 IRON
Mr.. Amcs. but as this, he says, was AT
different time and was, moreover, repaid
if has no relevancy to this transaction
lie prudently denies nothing but the re
ceipt of this money. lie does not con
trovcrt the fact that the Credit Mobile
company had him enrolled as member
credited with his share of the profits
He only asserts that this was witho"
his knowledge. According to his stor
Mr.. Ames must have swindled the com
pany 10y falsely representing that GarileI
had taken the stock, and 10y pocketln
the dividends accruing to it. The prof.
abilities of this are not so great as I
make it a very available basis for claim
ING tie innocence of the Republca
candidate for the presidency.
In its best aspect his story shows hil
to he SO devoid of sagacity and sense thu
the pcople will he more easily persuade
that he should he consigned to an asylui
for imbcciles than be sent to the Whit
House. The presidential mansion II;
been somewhat noted of lateyears for I'll
weak heads Of its occupants, but Whe
they applied for the situation hone
them had found occasion to make publ
proclamation of their stupidity.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
Departure of DIR. Brooks.


When DR.. Edward Brooks, of the state
normal school at Millersville, entered the
chapel yesterday morning to conduct the
last exercises prior to his departure for
Europe, he found a delightful surprise in
store for him, in the shape of farewell
greeting on behalf of the pupils and
faculty of the institution. The entire
body of the students were assembled to
give him God-speed, and after a brilliant
piano voluntary by Miss Watson, there
were appropriate addresses by Mr.. J. M.
Roberts, Miss IIibbs, and Prof. A. R.
Byerly, representing respectively the al
umni and students and faculty Of the
school. DR.. BrOoks's remarks in response
were of a touching character and he declar-
ed that it was one of the happiest and
proudest events of his life-such an evil
dence of the love with which he is regarded
by his pupils and fellow teachers.
The exercises were characterized by
great sincerity of feeling, and good taste
throughout. There was no stiffness, no
undue formality, and yet everything was
systematic, and moved with the ease and
regularity of clock work. The prelimi-
naries were arranged during the absence
of DR.. B. few days ago.

MULTIPLYING CASES.
The Alleged Chicken Thtef-Bail Reduces
from &E, 100 to $500.

The Alleged Chicken Thtef-Bsil Reduced
from 81, 100 to $500.
Henry Watson, one of the colOred men
committed by Alderman Spurrier to an
swer at court for chicken stealing, was
taken before Judge Livingston yesterday
on a writ of habeas corpus with view to
his discharge There were no less than
seventeen distinct charges Of larceny
made against Watson by Officers Adams,
Flick and Killinger, and Alderman Spur
rier committed him indefault of $500 bail
on each charge-making the aggregate
bail $500. Judge Livingston re-
duced the aggregate bail to $500, and
as defendant did not have his bail
ready, and Judge Livingston was about
leaving town, his honor remanded the
prisoner to jail, with an order or request
that the bail be examined by Judge Patter-
son at 10 O'Clock this morning. At the
appointed hour the hearing took place, and
Mrs. Catharine Wilson swOre that she was
worth $500 clear of all incumbrance-
Judge Patterson did not feel inclined to re-
lease the prisoner inasmuch AZ the pro-
ceedings in the case had been commenced
before Judge Livingston, and as he
jocularly remarked he didn't e1-
actly know how to divide $500
among seventeen cases So he ordered that
defendant be taken before Judge Living
ston on Saturday, and if the judge accepts
the bail offered, that defendant be held to
answer at quarter sessions on the 81 Mon
day Of August.
About All equal number of complaints
growing out Of the same alleged larceny
were made against VIM. Watson, father OF
the above named prisoner, and he is now III
Jail awaiting trial. OF the fifty chickens
found in their possession when they were
arrested in market on the 10Th OF May
only about dozen were identified as hav-
ing been stolen. The others were returned
TO the Watsons and by them given to their
counsel as fees for professional services.
