fields Testimony Perjured.
The facts in regard to Mr.. Garfield, as
found by the committee, are that he
agreed with Mr.. Ames to take ten shares
of Credit M0bilier stock, but did not pay
for the same. Mr.. Ames receired the
eighty per cent. dividend in bonds and
sold them for ninety-seven per cent,
also received the sixty per cent. cash
dividend, which, together with the
price of the stock and interest, left a
balance of $500. This sum was paid
over to Mr.. Garfield by check on the
Sergeant-at-Arms, and Mr.. Garfield
then understood this sum qoas tile balance
Of d505ae2ads after paying for the stock.
From the New York Times, Feb 10, 1873.
Messrs. Kelley and Garfield present a
most distressing figure. Their partici-
patton in the Credit Mobilier affair is
complicated by the most unfortunate
contradictions of testimony.
From the New York Times, Feb. 90 1873.
The character of the Credit MobiIier
was no secret. The source of its profits
were well known at the time Congress
men bought it. Though Oakes Ames
may have succeed in concealing his own
motive, which vas to bribc Congress
men, their acceptance of the stock was
not on that account innocent The dis
honor of the act as a participation in an
obvious fraud, still remains.
Some of them have INDUCED in testi-
msny with reference to the matter
which has been contradicted. The COM
mittee distinctly rejects the testimony of SEQ
era1 Of tie members. This can only be done
on the ground that 1t is untrue. But u11-
true testimony g5oeu u1eder oath is morally,
If not legally, perjury.
1t is the clear duty of Congress to Wis
it with punishment all who took Credit
MObilier stock from Oakes Ames.
From the New York Tribune, Feb 10, 1873.
James A. Garfield of Ohio had ten
shares; never paid a dollar; received
$500, which, after the investigation be-
gan, he was anxious to have considered
as loan from Mr. Oakeg Anes to HIM
self.
Well, the wickedness of all of it is that
these men betrayed the trust of the peo-
pie, deceived their constituents, and by
evasions and falsehoods confessed the
transaction to be disgraceful.
From the New York Tribune, Feb. 26, 1878.
Mr.. Ames establishes very clearly the
point that he was not alone in this Of
fence. # as to be expelled for bribery, the

Ny DEAR SIR Your note of August
25th, was received this morning. The
accounts of Gen. Chambliss' death and
attendant circumstances as given in the
New York Herald, in an article signed
by Finley Anderson, was correct. The
testament you refer to was given to a
staff officer of Gen. Field. Gen. Gregg,
of our cavalry has got a silver cup, which
he captured on previous occasion, and
is only awaiting an opportunity to send
it to Mrs. Chambliss, as it bears the evil
dence that it WAS gift from her. Gen.
Gregg would no doubt give it to you.
He may have other articles with the
cup, but think they were delivered
with the book. The cup could not be
delivered at tho time, as time did not
permit its being sent for. I will send
your letter to Gen. Gregg. 1t happen
ed that Gen. Chambliss was known to
Gen. Gregg and myself. Gen. G. was
present at the death of Gen. G.. and rec
ognized him after he had fallen. An
opportunity offering, it was source of
pleasure to Ger. Gregg and myself to
see that the body was decently inferred

Micellaneoh Notes.
The Convention Proceedings.

SrErvcrIgLD, ILL.,, May 20.-Jhc re-
publican state convention began its
second days session at . o'clock with
every inch of standing room on the floor
and in the galleries of the house of re-
prescntatives occupied by an interested
audience.
The chair stated that the committc
would not be able to report on the
Cook county contest for at
least two hours. whcreupon series of
of motions to adjourn, take a recess, etc,
were made, principally for AMUSEMENT,
with considerable confusion.
Robbins, Of Adams, on behalf Of the
Blaine -Washburn men. said the only
way of getting an early report from the
committee was by relieving it of part of
its labor. He therefore offered a reso-
luton instructing the committee not to
consider the claim Of any contesting
delegates who bolted from any conven-
tion which met in regular manner at
the place and at the time designated by
the proper authority. This hit at the
Palmer House delegation was received
with tremendous cheers by the Blaine
Washburn men, and a motion to table
the resolution Occasioned still louder
applause on the part of the Grant men.
The call Of counties resulted in tabling
the resolution by vote of 351 to 251,
showing 100 majority for the Grant
men outside of Cook county. The con-
vention took recess Of one hour.

Springfield. ILL.,, May 2O.-The situa-
ton has changed very much since noon.
Farewell and Hesing both talk as tho
they meant to give up the whole fight.
They say the hest they can do is to come
in with fifty six delegates. Doubtless a
compromise has been arranged. Hav-
ing given up this end of the contest.
their new threat Of bolt in case the con-
rention elects forty two delegates to
Chicago. overriding the previous district
election is generally disbelieved. Be
fore the cook county contest come up
in the committee on credentials, a
pledge was exactcd of both sides Of the
Farewell hall delegation to make pc
cuIiar pledge. which Hesing and others
claim binds them to nothing but leaves
them free to act as they please at Chi
cagO.
Farewell says he has no objection to
the convention instructing for Grant as
instructions amount to nothing. Dele
gates will vote as they please, but if the
eight anti-Grant district elections al
ready held are over-ridGen they viii
surely bolt. at which threat the Grant
men laugh.
