to be SO much concerned about his
friend Garfield, the Republican can
didate for President and the Credit
Mobilier business, that he is continu-
ally making explanations that don't
explain worth a cent. Foster says
that one of the principal objects of
his late visit to Washington was to
confer with Judge Wilson, who was n
member of the Credit Mobilier invcs-
tigating committee, respecting the
charges against Gen. Garfield, and he
asserts that Wilson event over the
entire ground and gave facts to show
that the charges were absolutely false"
Gov. Foster might have ascertained
the facts without going to so much
trouble. The Poland investigating
committee embodied them in its re-
port to the lower branch of Congress
and so far from showing that "the
charges were absolutely false" the re-
port of this committee fixed the truth
of them upon Garfield so firmly that
he has never been able to explain
them away. In his testimony before
the committee Gen. Garfield made the
following sworn statement:
(" i never owned, received, or agreed
10 receive any stock OF the Credit Mo.
bilier or of the Union Pacific railroad,
nor any dividends or profits arising
from either of them.-OarfeIds s,oor7,
testimony before he Poland Committee, Jda.
uary IA, 1873.
Now what did the committee find
10 have been the real state of the facts ?
The following is the report of the
committee so far as Garfield is con.
cerned:
The facts in regard TO Mr.. Garfield,
as found by the committee. are that he
agreed with Mr.. Ames 10 take ten shares
OF Credit Mobilier 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 also received the sixty per
cent. cash dividend, which, together
with the price OF the stock and inter.
est, left balance of &329. This sum
was paid over 10 Dir. Garfield by a
- the Asrreant alarms, 1arfd Mr..
Garfield then understood this sum was
the balance Of dividends after paying
for the stock.-Ths Poland Coumiuee's
Report, Jdnuary Is, 1873.
Did General Garfield swear TO the
TRUTH Or did a committee of his
own party wilfully pervert the evil
dence before them to make false
charge against a fellow member of
Congress- Certainly the committee
did not make a false report. Its
truth has never been denied, and pub
lie sentiment will decide that it is
rather late in the day for Gov. Foster
to be going lover the entire ground"
with members of the committee to
prove a different state of facts from
those reported by them TO Congress.

Governor Andrews has made creditable
Governor. No one presunes to find any fault
with hin, but inasmnch as he has held the Of
nee for two years-the customary term of
holding tit is doubted whether bis friends
will press him for denomination. The cur
rent tendency of talk, therefore, is unmistak.
ably favorable to a new ticket.-NorwicA Bul
Letin
Gov. Andrews friends did not s'press him
Tor nomination" in 1878. If he has made ga
creditable governor, with whom no one pre-
sumes to find fault why not try him again !?
Is not that such record as naturally calls for
denomination Certainly, we see far less
reason for his declining now, than there was
two years ago.

A Double Barrelled Disgrace.

a certain Reverend disgrace to humanity
by the name of Fulton proceeded to air his
hypocritical pretensiOns to patriotism and
virtue, in Brooklyn, on last Thursday light
and in the course Of his TRADE remarke ed that
he had been down South once and he never
saw so many innocent people before in his
life " After this derisive remark, he con
tinued by saying that if a negro were to
come to his house for the purpose Of marry
ing his daughter, all he would ask would be-
If he was industrious, we'll educated and a
Baptist. Donrilt Nc,cs
This fellow, the Rev. DR.. Justin d. Fulton
Of Brooklyn Baptist church, and the Rev
DIR. Fowler. Secretary Of the Northern
Methodist Board, are a pair Of clerical
frauds, whose daily walk and conversation is
a disgrace to religion or at least. any other
religion than the African Nondoo Fetish
worshippers
As for Fulton, we recolect triflng Incl
dent at Albany Penitentiary in 1872 that
will portray the character of the fellow. He
came at the head of delegation of Divines,
sent by some New York Association 10 see
Rev. J. B. Ezell. of Columbia, S. G. a
Baptist clergyman unjustly sentenced as a
Ku Klux by Grant Star Chamber Court :
or Jeffrey Bonds.
After calm recital of the facts in his case
Mr. Ezel was asked to lead in prayer, which
he did with IL uch fervor calling upon God
TO witness the truth ofhis athrmations that
he was an innocent man. As all arose from
their knees, DIR. Fulton put his hand on the
shoulders of the white haired old Southern
er, and said-''Now, Bro. Ezell, We have
heard you but this sort of thing won't do.
We should like to help you out of prison;
but you must first mdKe q Glenn breast 0f
eceyything. What ,ce ec0,t IS q FIJI con

ttons or zee IRON thelp you.
The venerable prisoner went back to his
daily tell, amid the convicts; his heart
burning with Indignation, and his eyes ready
to overflow with tears Of disappointment
OF course. Fulton wanted to fiighten the
old man into some abominable lie to help
Grants election then in progress.

set they are .-Er. t. x VI.
