GEN. GARfIELD's CREDIT MOBIL1ER
RECORD.

From his Own Sworn Testimony before the Po-
land Committee, January ii, 1881
never owned, received. or agreed To receive
any stock OF th.. Credi. MobiiIer or of the Union
fncihc railroad, nor amy dividends arising from
either OF them.
From Judge POland's Report, Feb. lS, 1873
Garfield's Testimony Perjury.l
The facts 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,
ell the eighty per cent. dividend in bonds and
sold them Ior ninety per cent, and also
received the sixty per cent. cash dividend.
which, together with the pric. of the stock and
interest. left balance OF $3.50. This sum was
paid over to Mr.. Garfield by a check on the
sergeant alarms. and MIR. Garfield then under
stOud this sum was the balance OF dividends al
ter paying iUr the stock.
tFrOm the New York Times, Rep, Feb. 10, '73
Messrs Kelly and Garfield present most dis
tressing figure. Their participation IN the Cred
it MObilier affair is complicated by the most un-
fortunate contradictions oil testimony.
fFrom the New York Times Rep, Feb. 20, '73. ]
The character of the Credit Mobilier was no
secret. The source of Its profits Was very we'll
known at the time congressman bought it,
Though Oakes Ames may have succeeded in CON-
cealing his own motive, which was to bribe
congressman, their acceptance OF the stock was
not on that account innocent The dishonOr OF
the act, as participation in an obvious fraud,
still remains.
Some OF them have lndulged in testimony with
reference to the matter which has been contra
dicted. The committee directly rejects the testi-
mOny OF several OF the members. This Can only
he done on the gr0un that 1t is untrue. But un-
true testimony given under oath is morally, il
not legally, perjury. =,
II is the clear duty OF congress TO visit with
punishment all who took Credit Mobiller stock
from Oakes Ames. ...
lFIom the New York Tribune, Rep, February
10, 1873.
James A. GarfeId, of Ohio had ten shan es !;
never paid dollar; received $329. which. after
tile investigation began, he was anxious to have
considered As y loan from Mr.. Oakes Anes to
himself.
Well, the wickedness of all of it is that these
men betrayed tile tIcst of the people, deceived
their constituents. sd by evasions and false
hoods confessed The transaction to be disgraceiul
lFrom the New York Tribune. Rep, February
70, 1878
Mr.. Ames establishes very clearly the point
that he was not alone in this offense If he Is to
be expelled for bribery, the men who We're
brbed should go with him.

not all argument, not an exposition
Of the law, not an essay on the rights

was what Hancock did, and it was

LETTER FROM IOWA.
OTTUMwA, Iowa. Aug. 2, 'S

OTTUMWA, IOWA, aug. 2, 'SU.
EDITOR INTELLIGENCE From st.
10. to the Iowa line, on the Hopkins
branch, one goes through almost con-
tlnuous corn field, and magnificent corn
it is. Generous rains all along the line
made the air cool. and put the country
in its best looks. The land IN Iowa is
good; but, l think, not so good as in
North Missouri. The soil is thinner,
and the granite boulders and pebbles
are more plenty in Iowa. But the PEN
sion crop is large IN this state, and un-
affected by the weather.
This is growing city. and the inhab-
itants long ago abandoned the idea OF
utilizing the hog as scavenger. and the
consequence was that when q man grew
rich he did not move off to some clean
city, and the farmers who grew rich, and
wanted to move to clean, comfortable
place, and live on their incomes, came
here. This accumulation of capital has
been taken advantage OF by manutactu-
rers. and it is one OF the most promising
manufacturing points in the west.
Not only in towns do. they discrimi-
nate against the animal dear to ST. An
thony, but the farmers are not required
to fence against him, nor against sheep.
consequently their fences only cost them
about half what they cost US.
But If l were an African. l would put
up with this discrimination for the sake
Of the other advantages. They do moi
tolerate the pet pig of the African as we
do, but they make it up in their treat.

LUMAN A. BROWN. ID
From the Fayet.e Advertiser ]

Mr.. Luman A. Brown, the nominee
OF the greenback party for governor
of Missouri, we believe, claims to be
a citizen of Howard county. In look
ing over the assessors list, we find
he pays taxes in Howard county OH
S57 worth of personal property, con.
sistiug of one clock valued at 81; one
watch and chain valued at 1926, and
$50 worth of household goods. A few
years ago Mr.. Brown owned good
farm aud some stock, but now he
does not own, or at least does not re-
port one foot of land or q single ami
NAL of any kind. 1t is said that he
went east a few years ago after SELL
lug his llnd and stock and invested
his money at his old home-Connec-
ticut, in bonds. Ii this be true, and
we never heard it contradicted, Mr..
Brown is therefore bloated bond
80 very much abhor. Aud in addition
10 being bondholder, Mr.. Brown is
also an avowed enemy to public
schools. In speech two years ago
AZ a school meeting in his district, he
sad ii was nothing less than robbery
to tax him to pay for the education
oI otuer pcopics Cnllureu Wneu nc
had none of his own. This alone may
have caused him to sell his property,
aud invest his money where it could
not be found by the tax-gatherer.
SO far as we are advised, Mr..
Brown has been acting with the DEM
ocratic party since he came to the
state until two years ago, when he
was taken up by the independents
after the democrats refused to nomi.
nate him for the legislature, and he
was beaten by Maj. Finks, receiving
only s39 of the 3,17s votes cast. He
was elected to the legislature in 1871
on the democratic ticket, and after
serving several years he run for the
state senate and was defeated. Since
then he has been sour at the party
and has been drifting around seeking
revenge. aud we presume he now
thinks he has found it.
Mr.. Brown is man strictly for
himself, cold as an iceberg, neither
popular nor brilliant, and the nomi-
nation shows the desperate straits to
which the party is put in the way OF
official timber.

Now comes Judge Geo. W. McCrary

Now comes Judge Geo. w. McCrary,
who says:-.'In the Credit Mobilier IN
vestigatlon there appeared conflict OF
testimony between him and Oakes Ames
AS to the character of their transactions,
but the committee were unanimously of
opinion that even upon Ames' own
statement Gen. Garfield had done no
wrong, ana democrats and repub leans
united in SO reporting" In January,
1878, Mr.. McCrary was a member OF
the Poland investigating committee. On
the 14th day OF that month he heard him
(Gen. Garfield) under oath. testify as
follows:-"I never owned, received or
agreed to receive any stock of the Cred
it Mobilier or of the Union Pacific rail-
road, nor any dividends or profits aris-
ing from either of them" On the 18th
OF February, with this testimony fresh
in his mind, Mr.. McCrary, also under
oath, signed the report OF the commit
tee, which contained this language =
1.-The facts in regard to Mr.. Garfield, as
found by the committee, are that he
agreed with Mr.. Amcs to take ten shares
of Credit MoblIier stock, but did not
pay for the same. Mr.. Ames received
the 80 per cent. dividend in bonds and
sold them tor 81 per cent, and also re-
ceived the 60 per cent. cash dividend
which, together with the price of the
sock and interest, LETT Il balance o
$329. This sum was paid over to Mr.
Garfield by a check on the sergeant at
arms, and Mr. Garfield then understood
this sum was the balance of dividend:
after paying for the stock The differ
ence is Just this: In 1878 there was M
partisan purpose TO subserve by screen
ing Gen. Garfield from the effects of hi
moral obllquity; but iii 1880 he IS th'
candidate OF Judge McCrary's party fol
tho presidency. and needs protection
1t would conduce to the good name o
the Judge rather to attend to the admin
istration of justice, than to put himsel
on record as afflicted with mental stra
bismus.
