was assigned $1,000 of the stock of
the Credit Mobilier it is true that he
received some dividends upon his
investments, but there is nothing in
the transaction which impeaches his
integrity. The Credit Mobilier
charges were brought to the attention
of Congress in 1872, and in December
OF that year committee consisting
of three Republicans and two Demo
Gratis were appointed to investigate
them. This committee immediately
entered upon the discharge of its
duties, and after exhausting all
sources of evidence, on the 18th of
February, 1878. submitted aoadni.

pulsion of Oakes Ames and James
Brooks, and entirely generating Mr..
Garfield, Henry L. Dawes and the
other Congressman whose names had
been mentioned in connection with
the charges. The part of the report
which relates to Mr.. Garfield and
the last mentioned congressman is as
follows: The committee do not find
that either of the above named gem
tle.nen, in connection with Mr.. Ames,
had any corrupt motive or purpose,
or was aware that Mr.. Ames had any;
nor did either OF them suppose that
he was guilty of any improperly or
even indelicacy of becoming pur-

committee have not been able to find
that any of these members of Con.

SECOND ARTICLE.

Every person who has read even
primary history knows something of
Braddock's road-that it was hastily
made from Cumberland J over the
mountains in 1885, by Gen. Braddock
as a military way in his disastrous
expedition te reduce Fort Pitt. Be-
fore then it was mere pathway for
the f0otman and an occasional horse
man to reach the frontier in traffic.

toric road. when made. was of sutfi.
cient capacity to pass vehicles; but a
mere removal of timbers and rocks
no engineering, grading or smooth
ing. But there was scarcely a wagon
passed over it tor the first thirty
years. Such heavy articles as salt,
iron, etc., were carried frem the East
to the West over the mountains on
pack horses. Tradition (the oldest in
habitant can't reach back tells how
they went in conveys, single file, in
this road. Did any of your readers
eyer see pack saddle? l have faint
recollection of one seen many years
ago-not very inviting to a lady or
gentleman of our day.
AS the eastern part of the country
increased in wealth and population
its accretions moved TO the opposite
direction over this route, and in time
it became the most important thor
oughfare in the country TO the invit-
ing West. lis lines in many places
upon inspection can still be identified
but upon general view ia the TIM
bered or cultivated lands it is not
visible. Nearly full grown trees now
stand in It's track in many places,
where years ago l saw deep, narrow
trenches. The mystery was, how did
vehicles pass each other. But there
were not many of them. A few
years ago we parto0k of delicious
cherries from a full grown tree in
the centre of BraddOck's road on the
farm of Mr.. Geo. F. Gepart. This
now obliterated road was abandoned
entirely over sixty years ago, and
every tavern and building that once
lined it has entirely disappeared.
The TOmlinson Hotel, the most no.
ted of all, built over hundred years
ago, was ruthlessly torn down about
fifteen years ago. Its site, where a
splendid family was reared, land
since all passed away is now truck

After the organization of the gen.
eral government in 1889, the tide
from the East to the West, mainly
over this way, increased steadily so
much so that the road became worn
out and utterly inadequate to the
public necessities. And this decayed
public artery was the first to receive
national treatment. AS far back as

General Garfield.

General James A. Garfield has been
selected to bear the Republican BAN
ner, not by us, for we had other
preferences, but by those competent
TO choose, and who have chosen
wisely and well. We know him so
intimately here in his native State.
where he has been woodchepper,
school boy, school teacher, member
of the legislature, general and men,
Der of Congress, and have been so
familiar with the contentious around
him as he has advanced from place
to place, with talents that were al
ways equal to the occasion, and good
fortune that never failed him in any
opportunity, that perhaps we are not
in the best position to measure him
and sum up the good and evil of
him. AS our readers may not need
to be reminded, we have not been
among those insensible to his faults
or slow to speak of them-and we are
aware that his record may be assailed
at weak points; but we have to say
OF him now, as we said when he was
candidate for the Senate, that his
ENHANCEMENT in small transactions
that have been largely advertised
show. not the rascal, knowing every
trick and covering every turn, design
ing wrong and consniring for con-
cealment, which is the character to
be Stunned and despfsed, but the
awkwardness of ineyperience and
inaptitude in these affairs where
acuteness is essential and smart men
flourish. He ewas poor and had power,
and. sensitive about his poverty, was
anxious to be practical man, not to
be driven from public life like Sena-
tor Gordon ; and those who were ex-
pertS managed to involve him I'M
affairs that his pursuits had not en-
abled him to understand, and that
have subjected him to annoying mis-
constructions.
We dismiss all that is dust, and
have to say that General Garfield is
decidedly a man of brains and of
extraordinary information in politics
and literature, hard student and
close reasoner-in every way large
man, and sound at the core. He will
grow upon the country as a candi.
date his capacity will be found equal
to all emergencies his tact will not
fail him in the trying times of the
campaign he will unite those who
disbelieve in the expediency of in
trusting all the departments of the
government to the Democratic party;
he will carry Ohi., Indiana and New
York he will be the next President
of the United States of America, and
he will never be a candidate for d
third term. Cincinnati Commercial:
