of French courier the feet will not start for
Dulcigno for forty eight hours.
AID OF THE POWERS.
GRAyosA, Sept 27.-Yesterday the Prince of
Montenegro received official notice that an ad-
vance to Dulcigno would be regarded as de-
claration of war. The Princegof Montenegro
consequently telegraphed Admiral Seymour
that he is not prepared without the aid OF the
land troops to attack the Albanians, reinforced
as they are by Turkish regulars and artillery.
This step of the porte must be regarded as tan
tamount to declaration of war against Eu-
rope
THE SICK MAN DEFIANT.
LONDON, Sept. 27.-A Consstantinople cor
respondent of the Times telegraphs as follows:
A spirit of reckless defiance is becoming more
and more intense. At the palace for several
days past the sultan refused to listen to any
objections made by his ministers to the policy
order that any official who shall be heard ex-
pressing contrary opinion shall be dismissed
and exiIed. Never before since the time of
Mahmond the Terrible, has such an order
been issued.
LONDON. Sept. GA correspondent at Gra-
vosa says the Ottoman frigate Schliemanich
lies off Dulcigno. She will be summoned to
withdraw and if she offers resistance must IN
avoidably be destroyed or sunk.
A Constantinople dispatch says the last
note of the porte refusing to surrender Dull
cigno unless the naval demonstration is aban.
doned was in great part the Sultan's own
composition. 1t required as condition for
the surrender of Dulcigno not only that no
demonstration shall be employed in connec-
ton with the Greek frontier, or any other
question, and that no other concession in the
future shall be demanded for Montenegro.
LONDON, Sept. GA dispatch from Con-
stantinople says the ambassadors' reply
to the Porte's circular on the Montenegrin ques-
ton has been delivered to the Porte. The re-
ply declines to grant more time or abandon
ment of the station.
A correspondent at Gravasa says battalion

WAS puerile affair, consisting OF a few over

no comparison with the Hancock club in point

GENERAL GARF1ELD'S CREDIT MOs
BLLIER RECORD.


Ills Own Sworn Testimony before the Poland
Committee, January IA, 1873
I ncuer otoned. received or agreed to receiue,
any stock Of the Credit Mo6ilier or Of the linton
Pacific railroad, nor any dividends or profits
arising from either of them.
Judge Poland's Report, Feb. 18, 1S73-Gar-
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 Mobiliet
stock, but did not pay for the same. Mr..
Ames received the eighty per cent. dividend
in bonds and sold them for ninety-seven per
cent, and alao received the sixty per cent. cash
divide1d, which, together with the price OF the
stock and interest, left balance of $3. rs
This sum vas paid ever to Mr.. Garfield by a
check on tbs Sargeant-at-Arms and Mr.. Gar.
field then understood this sum 1oGs the balance
Of dividends after paying for the stock.
New York Times Feb. 19, 1871
Messrs. Kelley and Garfield present a most
distressing figure. Their participation in the
Credit Mobilier affair is complicated by the
most unfortunate contradiction of testimony.
New York Times Feb. 20, 1881
The character of the Credit Mobilier was no
secret. The course of its profits was very well
known at the time Cong essMan bought it.
Though Oakes Ames may have succeeded In
concealing his own moti,e, which was to bribe
Congressman, their acceptance of the stock
was not on that account Innocent. The dis.
honor Of the act, ss q partici patton in an OBJ.
vious fraud, still remains.
Some of them have INDUCED in testimony
with reference to the matter which has been
contradioted. The committee distinctly ssjectl
the testimony Of several cf the members. zht.
can only be done on the ground that it is untrue.
But untrue testimony gicera under oath Is moral
IN, # not legally, perjury.
It Is the clear duty of Congress to visit with
punishment all who took Credit Mobilier stool
from Oakes Ames.
New York Tribune, Feb. 10. 1881
James A. Garfield Of Ohio had ten shares
never paid dollar received $329, which. aftel
the investigation began, he wac anxious to have
considered a. q loan from Mr. Oakes Ames &
himself.
Well, the wickedness Of all of it is that these
men betrayed the trust of the people, deceived
their constituents, and by evasions and false
hoods confessed the transactions to be disgrace
full.
lNew York Tribune, Feb. 26, 1878.
Mr.. Ames establishes very clearly the poin'
that he was not alone in this offense. Uheish
be expelled for bribery, the mon too ssere bribeG
should 90 NTH him.
ICincinnati Commercial, Jnne7, 1880.

the flsg Of our country waving, and marched to
the Merchants hotel. Here the Hon. Henry Il.
Wells found many Of his old friends who had
gathered to meet him, and after An exchange of
greetings. Hon. Mortin S. Wilkinson proposed
three cheers for Hancock and English, which
was heartily responded to. The procession
then broke up until evening, when few OF
the most prominent members OF tie Hancock
and English club returned to the hotel and es-
corted. the honorable gentlemen to the Union
hall. which had been duly arranged and deco
been painted and hung up on each
side of the platform on which the
speakers took their stand. The Hancock and
EnpIish banner had the following inscrip-
ton:
ssIt is written in the book of fate that Win
field Scott Hancock will be the next Presi-
dent of the United States.
This banner was hung on the right of the
speakers. The Wells banner was hung on the
left side of the speakers and read as follows:
Our next member of Congress. Hon. Henry
r. Wells. of Preston, Mimi. Rock county
welcomes Fillmore county's favorite son."
Between the two banners and just above the
speakers, was hung the flag of our country,
the flag for which the Democrats fought, bled
and died, and the flag which all Democrats will
stand by until time shall be no more.

the floor. amid great applause the audience
tben amounting to almost four hundred, but
the people still came pouring in from all parts
of the county, until every seat was occupid
and The hall filled to overhowing, and great
MANY had to stand in the aisle and on the steps
outside, and some had to return to their homes,
being unable to gain edmlttance. Mr. Weils
occupied the floor for nearly an hour and de-
livered a very interesting speech, being greeted
several times with loud applause.
After MIR. Wells had addressed the audience,
Mr.. Wilkinson was called upon and occupied
the floor for about one hour and half. His
speech was listened to with great interest,

The latest campaign pamphlet issued under

the craftsmanship and political achievements
of James A. Garfield, compiled from the Con

Murat H9lstead." This so-called record has q
pink cover, upon which appears the foregoing.
As foot note on the cover is the following:

Cincinnati Commercial, June 8, $780," Upon
opening this SO called record there appears six
pages of black paper without word upon it.
The inference sought to be attained by the
pamphlet is that the so-called author believes
that Gen. G. has no record to run upon, and
that, if any, it is 80 black that it will not bear
review. The Democrats have issued it as q
companion piece to Republican pamphlet en-
titled "Hancock's civil record" which is sue
