Gen. CarfIeld's Credit MobiIler
Record

From his Gum StOorn Testimony before The
Poland Committee, Jan. IA, 1873.
neper OUned received, or agreed 10 re-
ceiUe any stock Of the Credu MobitfeT, or Of
The Union Pacific Railroad, nor any diui-
denoIs or profits arising from either Of them.
From Judge IotdndS Report. FED. Is, 1873
-GdrfeLd's Testimony P5Jtred.
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 Mobilier stock, but did not pay
or the same. MIR. Ames received the
eighty per cent, dividend in bonds and
ssld them for ninety -seven per cent, and
also received the sixty per cent. cash divi-
dend, which together with the price OF
the stock and interest, left balance OF
500. This sum was paid over to Mr.. Gar
field by check on the Sergeant alarms,
and Mr.. Garfield then understood his
sum lDds The balance Of dividends dter pay
ing for the stock.
From The Ne,0 York Times. FED. 10, 1873
Messrs. Kelley and Garfield present "a
most distressing figure. Their partici-
patton In the Credit Mobilier affair Ii com
plicated by the most unfortunate contra
dictions OF testimony.
From the NetO York Times. Feb. ~, 1873.
The character OF the Credit Mobilier was
no secret.The source Of Its profits was very
well known at the time Congressman
bought II. Though Oakes Ames may have
succeeded IN conce,ling his own motive,
which was TO bride congressman, their
acceptance OF the stock was not ON tnai
account innocent, The dlshonor Of the
act, as participation IN AN obvious fraud
still remains.
Some of them have INDUCED in testi-
mony With reference To the matter which
mas been contradicted. The committee
dLshnctiy rejects The testimony Of several Of
the members. This can only be done on The
Uroiirld that u is untrue. BM untrue tesii-
Hi0ny DiUen under oath Is morally, v not
tegCtty, perjury.
1t Is the clear duty Of Congress to visit
with punishment all who took Credit
Mobilier stock from Cakes Ames.
From the New York Tribune, FED. 10, 1873
James A. GARFIELD of OHIO had ten
shares; never paid dollar: received 1919,
which, after the investigation began, he
was anxious To have considered AS II loan
from Mr.. Cakes Ames TO himself.
Well, the wickedness of all of IL il that
these men betrayed the trust of the peo-
pie, deceived their constituents, and by
evasions and falsehoods confessed the
transaction to be disg aceful.
From The NelO York Tribune Feb. 20, 1873.
Mr.. Ames establishes very clearly the
point that he was not alone in this offence.
II he Is 10 be expelled for bribery, the men

AT THE RATE the men who Tough
the battles of the war are joining the
"Rebel Democracy" there will sooD be
no more men of ability, that are not
held back by Office, or the promise Of
Office, to come over to the union side.
The greatest fear now is that Garfield's
Stree trade" doctrines will enable him
to carry Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota and
one or two more of the Western States.
II is doubtful whether he will be able to
carry more States than Gen. Scott did
in 1852. There is a decided stand in
favor OF harnonizlng all the interests OF
the country once more, and that can
only now be done by sending such men
a. Conkling, Logan and Chandler to
the rear in November by the triumph

The rumor difficulty and trouble
In the Republican National Committee
which the GAZETTE published yester-
day, is again referred to in the New
York papers to-day. The proposition
is TO depose Ex-Gov. Jewell and place
some one in his place as chairman. 1t
is all nonsense to suppose Jewell or
any other man could keep the people
from voting for Hancock.

the Garfield men began to curse. About
midnight brigade Of Republicans, Arm
ed with mops, scrubbiug brushes, blooms,
and pals OF water, scattered itself over
the city, and began to wash out the fig

the wake OF the scrubs, and the figures

graphic notice Of the cropping out of the
mysterious figures, and halted within
forty miles of the city After a council
Of war he took the back track for home.
On Monday the excitement broke out
afresh. LA { dozen prominent Repub-
licans appeared Oh the street with tue
mysterious figures chalked on their
backs. A distinguished Campbellite
clergyman awoke at A. NJ, aud was
enraged to find
$500
on the soles OF his boots. Little white
flags bearing the cabalistic symbols
noated from various points. A Garfield
bu cher went into Mysteries because
some one had inscribed the figures on
the collar Of his dog. The whole town
was in az unruar. The Hancock men
laughed more heartily than ever,
and the Garfield men cursed
like All army in Flanuers. They were
even more excited than they were when
they received the news of their defeat
from Maine. After again vainly trying
to wash out the figures they threatened
to resort TO the shotgun policy. These
threats made the Hancock men roar
with laughter. The curses OF the Car
field crowd were so appalling that even
the imported colored element stood
agnast. The worst or best OF 1t Is that

The Spring Hill Horror.

On the first page of to-day's CIT-
IzEN will be found a graphic ac-
count of the horrible death from
hydrophohia, at Spring Hill, last
week, of young man named MIL
ton Story. 1t seems from the fol-
lowing letter that the victim of this
terrible malady was a native of
Giles county:
FOUNTAIN CREEK, MAURY Co. TENN.
August Sd, 1880.
EDIrCR CITIZEN: Milton Story,
who died a week since near Spring
Hill, of hydrophobis, was a native
of Giles county. His grandfather.
an old and highly respectable citi-
zen, now resides on Dry creek.
near Salem church. Mr.. G. H.
Witt, his employer, speaks in the
highest terms of Milton. He says
he was a steady, industrious. church
going young man. This is very
gratifying to his parents. He was
cut down in the very bloom of man
hood, without scarcely moments
warning. Although his death was
most horrible, his body msngled
and torn, yet his character was spot
less and pure. Many friends sym
pathize with the afflicted family in
their very great trouble.

A Remarkable Deer Story.

Mr.. James Scruggs relates the
following with good JUNCTION: In
the year 1925, his father, IN compa-
ny with Lewis Upshaw, Thomas
Howard, John Upshaw and others
went deer hunting in the region of
country around Aspen Hill, at a
place called Sugar Tree Ford. Mr..
John Upshaw was placed on the
stand, and in a very short space of
time the drivers sent up seven beau
tiful specimens OF the game, all in a
bunch. Mr.. Upshaw took deliber-
ate aim and fired at the whole lot.
When the smoke cleared away he
discovered IL at he had killed five
and wounded the remaining two.
This remarkable feat is well anthem
ticated by Mr.. James Scruggs. who
was a boy at the time. The gun
which rendered such good service
on the occasion is now in the pos
session of Mr.. William Scruggs
and is used by his little son
in hunting squirrels Can any of
the surviving Nimrods o: the olden
time tell story that will beat this?

Some Fancy Carving.

The colored people had a barbe
cue near Vale Mills last Friday
The day was suspicious, the crowd
large and odoriferous, the meatswere
appetizing and juicy, and all went
merry as a Thomas cats serenade
until Willis Buford ran afoul of
Phil Maples-then there was a
sound of deviltry downright and
a lively squirting of gore Philip
was one of the guards whose duty
it was to stalk around IN his Sun
day clothes and preserve order.
Philip felt his magnitude, by
large majority, and when a
brother of Buford attempted to
kindle the flames of civil war in
that particular locality he sat down
upon him then and there. This
excited the fire of the fraternal
Willis, who went hunting for Rhi's
jugular with a carving knife. After
Sitting his clothes in various
places he made some fancy strokes
in the region of the throat, slash
the external carotid and jugular
veins and skirmishing in the imme-
date vicinity of the trachea and
esophagus. At the conclusion of
the performance, Philip, like Boar
ris, fell bleeding at every vein"
He was brought to town in criti-
cal condition, or rather, in spring
wagon, and turned over to DIR. Joe
Roberts, who executed some fac
needle work and embroidery on the
patient and sent him home to recov
er at his leisure. Willis, the au-
thor of the mischief, fed and up
to this writing his postoff1ce adj
dress is not known,

The barbecue at Aspen Hill Fri
day last was a charming episode of
the season. 1t was attended by the
ton of the neighborhood and of 9th
er localities. Pulaski was repre-
scented by the genial Ray of good
humor that brightens the tinware
establishment of Scsllorn x Ray,
and by a clever representative of
the New York Store in the person
of Mr.. Henry Jones. Advices from
that locality say that three carcass
es remained untouched when din
ner was over, a very strange anu
unaccouutabte circumstance when
we remember that the two gentle
men mentioned we're in attendance.
The day was dedicated to gayety I;
and the witcheries of the fair, the
gallantry of the beaux, and the
bubbling good humor of the entire
company made it bright one in
the annals of the neighborhood.-
At night a delightful entertainment
was given at the residence of Mrs.
Burrell Alternately in honor OF
Misses Florence and Tommie Har
well, two lovely specimens OF femi-
ninity from the City of Rocks.
The personal charms and winning
manners OF the fair recipients OF
this compliment brought to their
feet many new admirers and rem
dered their departure on the follow
ing day source of general regret
On both occasions the genial hos
pitality of the people Of the neigh
5orhooi was happily displayed.

A party of young gentlemen went
out TO serenade a Columbia beauty
who is visiting Pulaski, last Mon
day night. They practIced until
II o'clock, and after training and
toning up their voices with drug
store condiments and things, they
filed out into the night and silent
ly ranged themselves under the
open window where the night
zephyrs were softly stealing in to
fan the rosy cheeks of a maiden
dreaming of angels. They pitched
a song in sweetest tone and sang 1t
in a concert of bewItching melody,
and when the echoes died upon the
stiffness of the night, again they
warbled, and warbling they sang
songs sung only as they can sing,
until the stars danced in glee and
the frogs joined in the piercing
strains. And then they folded
their voices like parcel of Arabs
and stole away so silently that
sleepers in the other end of town
thought the yankees were storming
Fort Hill. AS they passed down
the front walk they saw an open
window ut the other end Of the res
idence and within a young man of
the manor dressed to represent a
ghost and fighting mosquitoes with
a broom, but the zephyr window
was as tranquil in its dark silence
as a COW chewing wax in the
shade Next morning they learned
that their music did not awaken
the young ladies, but the cook
thought il first rate.

Opening the Campaign.

Hon. K. L. Taliaferro, presiden-
tial elector, opened the campaign
Monday with breezy and inspir
ing speech that fully developed all
the latent enthusiasm of the i'm
mense crowd before him. He re-
viewed the history of the republI-
can party in searching style and
drew a vivid picture of its daring
aggressions and bold inroads upon
the liberties of the people. The
present struggle which was to de
eide whether this corrupt and un-
scrupulous organization was to re-
tain its grasp upon the throat OF
the nation, assumed a vaster impor
lance i'll the light of history, and it
was the duty of the people to arm
themselves for the conflict and en-
gage in the patriotic work of over
throwing, once and for all, this
moustrous enemy of constitution
al liberty. He gave scathing
review of Garfield's record and por
trayed in vivid colors the venal
character of the man who heads
the republican columns. In conclu-
sion, he presented in eloquent
terms the claims of the democratic
nominees, holding up the stainless
character, the unselfish patriotism
and the broad statesmanship of
Hancock in dazzling contrast to
the soiled and tespattered charac
ter of his competitor. The entire
speech was a vigorous presentation
OF the vital Issues of the campaign,
and must be ranked as one of Mr..
Taliaferro's strongest efforts. The
large crowd demonstrated its APP
prevail by constant and vociferous
applause.

The writer spent last week at this
pleasant place and comes back re-
freshed. Friday night witnessed as
grand a ball as ever occurred in
Tennessee The gents were fault
less in dress, gallantry and deport-
ment, and the ladies were as beauti-
fnl, as fashionable, as graceful. as
accomplished as they are anywhere.
They came from Nashville, Mem
phis and the adjoining country and
towns. A splendid band from
Franklin was engaged, and the val
ley echoed with the merry sound of
music and nimble feet until 3
o'clock. The latter part of the
week brought in several guests, I'M
til the cabins were nearly ali filed.
A fact in the history of Cayce is
remarkable. AS far as can be re-
membered by those living, child
who lived on the place never died
there. What haven for the blessed
little onesl Judge McLemore's baby
was quite sick from teething, but
in two weeks ayce's had brought
the roses to play hide and seek IL
the dimples of her sweet little
cheeks. Mr.. Ambrose Cayce, of
Pulaski, had a baby also very sick,
and he is fast recovering. A. gen
tleman came out Wednesday morn
ing who was just up from severe
spell of sickness. He came To test
the waters. In two hours be called
for paper and pen to write for his
saying that he already felt
the benefit.
The ten pin alley is about com
pleted. Mr.. Cavce also intends to
PUT up a volving swing Tor the
children. An arbored croquet
ground will also be enticing. The
writer will return to Cayce's as
soon as he gets his shoulder blad es
and elbows re-tipped, provided the
editor is on hand then. Usually |
when he is wanted he has to be
picked out of a crack in the floor
with a pin.

ly engaged in making preparations
for this interesting event, and we
are glad to see that he is receiving
