DETECTIVES
A Correspondent II Concerned
about Him, and Asks the Gov.
ernnlent Some Plain Questions

A Correspondent II Concerned
about Him, and Asks the O. v'
ernnaent Some Plain Questions
To the Postmaster General o.
the United States:
Sir: A man calling himself
Bradbury Williams, a detective
connected with the Post Office
department., insulted a gentleman
named Louis Cohn, in Lawrence
County, Miss, in July, 1880, and
under the statute Of this State he
was fined ten dollars and costs, in
all about forty dollars, by a justices
of the peace.
Williams boosted at the time
that the United States Government
would pay the fine and costs fol
him-that the Government would
also employ council to defend him.
He took al appeal to the Circuit
Court, and the United States Dis.
trict Attorney, Iced, admits he is
instructed by the Government to
defend Williams at the appeal case.
Williams also threatens in per-
son, and through other United
States offices, to institute malici on
| prosecution in the United States
Court at Jackson, Miss, against
Louis Cohn, in case Cohn refuses
to dismiss the prosecution against
| Williams.
Now, we Mississippians respect,
fully enquire whether the general
government is authorized to pay
out of the [. 5. treasury all the
| fines and costs imposed on detec-
| tees for crimes committed by them,
such as drunkenness, gambling. as
saults and batteries, using insult
ing language, stealing, robberies. Ii
bel and Islander, etc, etc, etc. ?
End. We Mississippians wish also
to know if the general government
sends it's district attorneys into the
State courts to defend at the eX-
pense of the government these petty
criminals.
Sd. If the State court shall i'm
prison these criminals. will the Post
Office department send other detec-
tives by night with a duplicate key
to unlock the jails?
In other words, does Williams
tell tho truth in his public charges
of corruption in your department OF
the Cover ment. ENQUIRER.

GEN. GARFIELD's CREDIT MOBILIEB
RECORD.

From his Own Sworn Testimony before the Pc.
land Committee, January IA, ls73.l
Inever owned, received, or agreed to receiv.
any stock of the Credi, MobIlIer or of the Union
either OF them.
From Judge Poland's Report. Feb. Is. 1875
Garfeld,s Testimony Perjury-l
Thefacts in relation to Mr.. GARFIELD, as found
by the committee, are that he agreed with MIR.
Ames to take ten shares OF Credit Mobilier stock
but did not pay for the same. Mr.. AInes receiv-
ed the eighty per cent. dividend in bonds and
sold them Tor ninety-seven per cent, and also
received the sixty per cent. cash dividend,
which, together with the price of the stock and
interest. left u balance of $3.50. This sum WIS
paid over to MIR. Garfield by a check on III,
sergeant-at-arms, and air. Garfield then under
stood this sum was the balance Of dividends al
ter paying for the stock.
From the New York Times, Rep, Feb. l9, -.
Messrs. Kelly and Garfield present \ most dis
tressing figure. Their participation IN the Cred
il Mobilier affair is complicated by the most i'm.
fortunate contradiction oil testimony.
From the New York Times Rep, Feb. 20, -
The character of the Credit Mobilier was nC
secret. The source of Its profits was very vel
known at the time congressman bought II.
Though Cakes Anes may have succeeded IN con
cealing his own motive, which was to brIbe
congressman, their acceptance of the stock Wa:
not on that account innocent. The diShonor u
the act, as participation in an obvious fraud
still remains.
Some Of them have INDUCED in testimony with
reference to the matter which has been contra
dicted. The committee directly rejects the Iesti.
aAony of several OF the members. This can only
be done on the ground that it is untrue. But lii
true testimony given under oath is morally. i
not legally, perjury.
1t is the clear duty OF congress TO visit witt
f~unIshment all who took Credit Mobilier stocL
from Cakes Ames.
from the New York Tribune, Rep, February
10, 1851
james A. Garfield, of Ohio, had ten shares
never paid Q dollar; received $500, which. aitel
the Investigation began, he was anxious to hav.
considered rs . loan from MIR. Oakes Ames I,
himself.
Well, the w~ickedness of all of it is that thes,
mel betrayed the Trust of the people,. deceived
their constituents, and by evasiOns and false
hoods confessed the transaction to be disgraceiul
from the New York Tribune, Rep, Februar,
%, 1878
M. Ames establishes very clearly the poin
that he was not alone in this offense. If he IL IL
be expelled for bribery, the men who wei,
bribed should go with him.
