Garheld'S Perjury.

An esteemed Republican friend com.
plains to us that we have charged that
the Republican presidential candidate is
perjurer, and seemed really surprised
that we should defend the charge as true.
He evidently had not acquainted himself
with the evidence in the case, but took
the charge as a Democratic campaign
slander, and naturally thought that it
was an Infamous one to appear in a re-
spectacle newspaper. And he was quite
right if the charge is false or even if it's
truth is doubtful. We do not think that
any reader of the INTELLlGENCER will
say that it is in the habit of making such
grave allegations lightly, and we should
be very much ashamed of ourselves if
any height of partisan feeling would in
duce us to charge upon the Republican
candidate so gross an offence us perjury if
there was the slightest room to doubt it's
truth. Unfortunately there is not, and
for the benefit of those who have not vet
regarded the proof, we will briefly re-
late it.
A chief witness against Mr. Garfield is
Judge Black, who has been quoted by
Republican authority as declaring that
Garfield was innocent of any intentional
wrong doing in taking the Credit Mobi-
lier stock from Oakes Ames. Judge
Black said this /; but has further said
that Garfield distinctly told him that he
received this stock from Ames, ignorant,
however, of its character. Judge Black
advised Garfield to make the same ad-
mission to the congressional committee
of inquiry that he had made to him
out when he was placed on
the stand, and had taken the
oath of witness before that committee.
Garfield swore that he had never received
any stock from Ames, but that he had
borrowed $500 from him on one occasion.
Mr.. Ames being subsequently put on the
stand swore that Garfield had received
the stock, and he exhibited the account
of it in his memorandum book, showing
a balance in Garfield's favor of 1920,
which he had paid him. Garfield's per-
jury is proven by this testimony and his
admission to Judge Black; which ad- |
mission, it will be noted, he has never
denied, and it stands therefore unassail-
ed upon the high credit of Judge Blacks
character.
Another act OF. purjury was committed
by Garfield in taking 5000 as an attor-
ney's fee to secure the DeGolyer pave
ment contract; which pavement was
paid for by an appropriation in a bill re-
ported by him as chairman of the appro.
committee in the House, Asa
representative he was an attorney of the
people ,and it was in contravention of his
oath that he accepted fee from indi-
vidual citizens to secure money for them
from the government. ,

elevation to the woolsack, realized for some

within two years Of the end of the rebel
| lion, receive the proceeds of such property
in the treasury upon satisfactory proof OF
ownership, their right to the proceeds
thereof, and that they never had given aid
or comfort to the rebellion. The supreme
court decided that August 20, 1866, was
the date marking the end of the rebellion ;
hence tho limitation to the filling of the
above class Of claims was August 90, 1868.
Under the act of 1864, $28,S1S, ,O38, the
proceeds of captured and abandoned prop
erty, were covered into the treasury. Of
that amount the court of claims has re-
turned by award over S11, ,OOO, 900. Claims
to the amount of about $4,000. 600 filed
before August go, 1868, are still pending.
Most of them, without doubt, will be dis
allowed.
The act of July 4, 1864, enlarged the
jurisdiction of the accounting afiicers, and
included cases where the stores and subsist-
ence in question had been furnished to or
taken by the army without the stict legal
form rs prescribed by the rules of the de-
partments. The time within which these
claims could be filed expired January |,
1880, the work of adjusting and allowing
which has been going on quietly for Is
years. Recent inquiry discloses the fact
that the quartermaster general and CON-
missary general allowed over "a, zoo, 600
under the act Of July 4, 1864, and have
disallowed about ss5, 900, 900. There are
some q, 900 of these claims yet to be dis
posed OF, the amount claimed aggregating
about $40, ,O00, 900. All this work has been
done under a law passed by Republican
Congress sixteen years ago. Most of the
claims of this class come from Missouri,
Kentucky, Ohio, Maryland, Tennessee, and
West Virginia, and cannot be accurately |
,alled Southern war claims in the sense used |
when speaking of the claims allowed by
he Southern claims commission.

An Irish Romance.

In these days, when everything
is driven by steam and stopped by
air brakes, and even the ticking
of our hearts is regulated by a
golden key, like most excellent
clock work, there is very little
room for "a romance in real life."
In certain county in Ireland,
however, not quite hundred
miles from Meth, there dwells a
family of nine beautiful maidens
who are wont to amuse them
selves by assuming the apron and
inop-cap of meat handed Philiis, .
and making themselves all sorts of
pastry in the garden. Not long
since the cry and 'orn of the UNITS
man was heard without, and one

dining-room with bowie-knife
in his teeth and revolver in each
hand, he can't hit anybody if he
shoots, and as soon as he begins
shooting, the guest nearest him
rises up and knocks him down
with piece Of cranberry pie or
hits him in the eye with d boiled
potato. 1t used TO be great sport
for W lid Bills to ride into town on
mule and slash until every body
was driven indoors, but i; IS not
done any more. The last one who
tried it was knocked off his mule
with quart can Of tomatoes and
taken before the Court, when His
Honor said:
"Thoughtless and giddy boy /;

harm, but fellow who can't even

who, on different occasions, burned
