CONGRESS-.

Henry Mulberger, Esq, of this city, is
talked of as the democratic candidate for
congress in this district, and The Demo
crat thinks eff it should receive the no
mination, he would give the republican
candidate close rub That depends
upon whom the republicans nominate.
Mr.. Mulberger would probably be a
strong card for the democrats, especially
in Jefferson county, but Mr.. Caswell can
beat him. Not only are the republicans
sure of the district if they re-nominate
Mr.. Caswell, but his candidacy would
bring 500 extra votes at least to our
county ticket, which will ensure its cleo
ton. If the congressional convention
has the good sense to ignore the "rota-
ton" cry, which perhaps may be urged
In some quarters, and to put Mr.. Cas-
well on the course again, Jefferson coun-
ty will go republican this fall, and send
to the legislature next winter full re-
publican delegation.

FORNEY ON HANCOCK.

John w. Forney, in Buchanan
time was democrat, but a few years
later Joined the republican party. He
did not find himself appreciated at his
own estimated value, and thus became
sour, and has now gone back to the
democracy and is bowling for the SUI
perb man. of whom he said in 1867 /:
"Hancock's administration was worse
than the epidemic of yellow fever; that
che was better soldier than lawyer"
that " he lowered the colors of the ma
ton" that his rule made dark days in
Texas and louisiana" that the Irish
democracy repudiated the man who exc
cuted the sainted Mrs. Surratt," and that
Hancock should drop the blue and don
the gray.'' Of course none of these
things will appear in Forney's biography
of Hancock for which he is to be paid
$4,000.

CREDIT MOBILIER.

We do not consider it necessary or
wise to defend Gen. Garfield against the
already exploded Credit Mobilier charge,
but will once more refer to it lest The
Jefferson Banner may consider our silence
an admission of the truth of what it says.
The Banner, while protesting to deal
fairly and candidly, mutilates the records
and quotes garbled extracts from the tes-
timony in the case, and also from the re-
port of the investigating committee,
which it insists found Garfield guilty of
accepting a bride, an absurd statement
on its face since, if any such verdict had
been found, the committee would have
been forced to recommend his expulsion
when Ames and Brooks were expelled.
We have already shown fully that Gar
field was in no way involved in the
Credit Mobilier affair, but, as The Banner
is determined to continue the policy
of forgery and untruth with which it
has entered the campaign we present the
evidence again to fully and finally settle
it. In the report the committee said:
Concerning the members to whom he has sold,
or offered to sell. the stock, the committee say
that they do not find that Mr.. Ames, in his nego-
tlations with the persons above named, entered
into details of the relations between the Credit
formation as to the amount of dividends they
would be likely to receive, further than has been
already stated-viz.: That in some cases he had
guaranteed profit of ten per cent. They do
not find as to the members of the present house
above named that they were aware of the object
of Mr.. Ames, or that they had any other purpose
in taking this stock than to make profitable in.
vestment 8 They have not
been able to find that any of these members of
Congress have been effected in their official ac-
ton in consequence of interest in the Credit Mo-
biIier stock. They do not find that either
of the above named gentlemen in contracting
with Mr.. Ames had any corrupt motive or pur-
pose himself, or was aware Mr. Ames had any
nor did either of them suppose he was guilty OF
any improperly or indelicacy in becoming q
purchaser of this stock And, finally, that the
committee find nothing in the conduct or mo-
tiyes of either of these gentlemen in taking this
stock that calls for any recommendation by the
committee of the House. /" [See pages s, 9 and
1O.]
In his first testimony before the COM
mitttee, Cakes Ames said that he offered
the stock to sixteen members of congress,

THE GERMANS FOR GARFIELD.

The Cleveland Herald SAYS investiga-
ton among the establishments in that
city where large numbers of Germans
are employed shows that they are en-
thusiastic for Garfield It is a noticeable
fact that the Germans everywhere are
rallying to the support of the republican
ticket more strongly than ever before.
The reason of this is partially outlined
in the following from The Wheeling
Nv. Va Volksblatt There is no ma
ton in the world that possesses more
coul age and better qualifications for mill
tary organizations and duties, and that IS
ever more ready to take to arms for a
GOOD cause, when the same is fully I'M
derstood and comprehended, than that OF
the Germans. But, Notwithstanding all
this, they have an aversion OF all mill
etary methods and military rule. They
despaired ever to reduce military dicta-
ton to its reasonable and proper limit in
their own old fatherland, and therefore
came to the United States in the hope
and expectation, in times of peace, never
to be submitted to its rulings again, and
to be free forever from military oil
garchy. 1t was this deep-rooted and
neyer-to-be- extirpated dissemination and
dislike among the German republicans
which caused Grants defeat. The same
feeling rests in the breasts of German
democrats, as well as German republi-
cans, and, although not loud and demon
stratiye this aversion will be noticeable
iuring the coming campaign"

THE DEMOCRATS crow LASTLY over the

THE DEMOCRATS crow LASTLY over the
accession of their party of one L. w. Je-
rome, of New York. The New York
Evening Post, which is very conserva-
tive paper, speaks of that same Jerome
thus: 90 here is L. w. Jerome, who APP
pears in the New York press as very
vigorous and earnest republican, but who
in the congressional directory is put
down not as republican, but as Tam
many democrat, who ran on the Tam
many ticket for congress two years ago
and was defeated by General Arson
McCook." Such recruits will not add
much to the Hancock party.

The St. Louis Globe-Democrat' Wash
ington special contains this interesting
item: ''The Administration is watching
with much seriousness the course of Gen
eral Hancock with reference to the
nomination upon the platform laid down
at Cincinnati, in which the president of
the United States, his commander-in-
ehief, is personally charged with corrupt
ly conspiring through bribery to gain the
position he occupies. The Endorsement
of the platform by General Hancock, as
long as he remains.under the authority
of the president, would make him per-
sonal indorser of the charge, but amen
able to articles of war, two of which it
was shown at the war department speci-
fcally covered this case It was stated
in administration circles to-day that Gen
Hancock had the alternative of resigning
his commission, refusing to endorse this
plank in the democratic platform, declin-
ing the nomination or subjecting himself
to court martial ifhe remains in the army
He will have to expunge this plank or his
case will be treated under the articles OF
war"

s'The people will find that the superb

there the matter will rest, while our man
bristles all over with brilliant personal
history and an illustrious military and
legislative career. There is nothing
about him that can be assailed, and all
the fire that can blaze at him will be OF
no avail. The Grant men will stand by
Garfield the same as they stood by Grant
at Shiloh and Vicksburg, and, later still,
under Logan and Conkling at Chicago
They are patriots, and will never retreat
from the enemy"

O THAT SPLENDID SOLDIER

We have watched our Democratic ex-
changes and carefully searched. for the
principles that General Hancock carries
in his saddle Yalise. The result of our
search can be summed up as follows:
On the subject of the currency he is a
magnificent fellow.
On the subject of the tariff he is a
splendid soldier.
On the subject of free trade he wears a
brilliant uniform.
On the subject of the river and harbor
Improvements he makes grand appear
ance on horseback.
On State rights he appears well in his
epaulettes and brass buttons.
On civil service reform he has fine mil
itary bearing.
