CREDIT MOBILIER. General Garfield's Own Answer to His Tra- ducerE Solid Pacts "Which Mo One Can Disprove. The following is an extract from a speech by Geiferal Garfield, delivered at Warren. Ohio, in i74:. There is a large number of people in the United States who use these words (Credit Mobilier) without any adequate idea of what they mean. I have no doubt that a great many people feel about it very much as the lishwoman at Billingsgate market felt when Sid ney Smith, the great English humorist, came along and began to talk with her. She answered baok in a very saucy way. and he finally began to call her mathematical names, lie called her a parallelogram, a hypothenuse, a paral ellopipedon, and such other terms, and she stood back aghast and said she nev er heard such a nasty-talking man in her life nevor was abused so before. Xow, people think they have said an enormous thing when they say that somebody had something to do with the Credit Mobilier. 1 ask your atten tion, just for a few moments, to what the tiling is, and, in the next place, to understand precisely what it is that I am supposed to have had to do with it. The Credit Mobilier was a corpora tion charted in 1859 by the Stale of Pennsylvania, and authorized to build houses, buy lands, loan money, etc. Nothing of consequence was done with that company until the year 1807, when a number of men bought up whatever stock there was in it, and commenced to do a very large business. In the winter of 1S07, Mr. Train came to me and showed me a list of names and subscribers to the stock of the Credit Mobilier Company, and asked me to subscribe Si, 000. I should say there were fifteen or twenty members of Congress on the list, and many more prominent business men. He said that the company was going to buy lands along the line of the Pacific Railroad at places where they thought there would cities and villages grow up and devel op, and he had no doubt that the growth of the country would make that investment double itself in a very short time. That was the alleged scheme that the Credit Mobilier Company had under takena thing that if there is any gentleman in Warren who would feel any hesitancy in buying it would be because he did not believe in the growth of the country where the busi ness was to be done. The stock was offered to me as a plain business prop osition, with no intimation whatever that it was offered because the subscri bers were members of Congress, for it was offered to many other people, and no better men live than at least a large number of the gentlemen to vuGm it was offered. Some of them took? it at once. Some men are cautious' about making an investment, othtvs are quick to determine. To none of these men was any e.-tjiai;ou made that this Credit Mobiller Company was in any way connected with a ring of sev en men who owned the principal por tion of the stock, and who had a con tract with the Directors of the Union Pacific Road for building 600 or 700 miles at an extravagant price largely above what the stock was worth. That was a secret held only by those seven men who owned the principal portion of the stock. It is now understood that Mr. Oakes Ames, who was the center of that company of seven men. sought to gain the friendship of fifteen or twenty prominent Congressmen, with the view of protecting himself and the Pacific Railroad against any investiga tion which might be made; but it was a necessary part of his plan not to di vulge that purpose, or in any way inti mate to them that he might draw upon them for favors. Long before any such purpose was realized, long before any pressure came upon Mr. Ames, most of the men who had been invited to purchase that stock had either declined to purchase or had purchased and realized, or had purch ased and Hold out. Bat, in 1872, in the midst of the Presidential campaign, an article was published in the public journals charging that sixteen promi nent members of Congress Senators and Representatives had sold their votes for money or stock; that they had accepted bribes. You remember that I was running for Congress in this district at that time. When the news came I was away in the Rocky Mount ains. I came home, and the first day after my arrival at Washington I. au thorized to be published a statement concerning what I knew about the Oakes Ames business. A great many people suppose now and say, and it has been repeated hundreds of times in this district, and especially in this town during the last two weeks, that Mr. Garfield hedged and denied any knowl edge of the Credit Mobilier business until finally the investigation brought it out. I repeat that, immediately on ray arrival in Washington, I made a statement to the correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, of which the fol lowing is a copy : "Washington, Sept. 15, 1872. "General Garfield, who has just ar rived here from the Indian country, has to-day had the first opportunity of seeing the charges connecting his name with receiving shares of the Credit Mo bilier from Oakes Ames. He author izes the statement that he never sub scribed for a share of the stock, and that he never received or saw a share of it. When the company was first formed, Geoige Francis Train, then ac tive in it, came to Washington and ex hibited a list of subscribers, of leading capitalists and some members of Con gress, to the stock of the company. The subscription was described as a popular one of Si.000 cash. Train urg ed General Garfield to subscribe on two occasions, and each time he declined. Subsequently he was again informed that the list was nearly completed, but that a chance remained for him to sub scribe, when he again declined; and to this day he has not received any share of stock or bond of the Company." Now, I want my audience to under stand that in the midst of that storm and tempest, and accusation, and only a little while before the election, I stated it and let it go broadcast to the daily press that I did know something about the Credit Mobilier; that I had been invited to subscribe to it; that I had on two occasions discussed the matter: that I had taken it into con sideration ; and tint finally I had de clined to subscribe; that I never had owned or held a share; had never seen a certificate of the stock. Now, I am not asking you at this moment to dis cuss the truth of that statement, but only to say that I stated it long before there was any investigation talked of; that I never dodged, or evaded, or de nied having any knowledge of the sub ject, but at the first declared plainly and fully what I did know about it. When Congress met Speaker Blaine and the rest of us whose names were concerned in it at once, on the first morning of the session, demanded a Committee of Investigation to go through with the whole subject from beginning to end. I want those gentle men who talk about Mr. Garfield being got after by committees of investiga tion to know that no investigation in to any public affair has been held in the last three years in Washington that I have not helped to organize and bring about. Applause. Now, what was the investigation? You will remember that before the in vestigation had gone far a feeling of alarm and excitement swept over the whole country that has hardly been paralleled in American history. Some men whose names were connected with the charges of the Credit Mobilier mat ter, shocked at the terrible charge of bribery thrown at them, in the hurry of the moment so far forgot them selves as to give equivocal answers as to whether they knew anything about the matter or not, and the impression was made throughout the country that the most of them had denied that they knew anything about it. The fact was that the country was settling down to the belief that the whole thing was a mere (campaign slander, and had no foundation in fact. Looking at the subject from this distance, 1 am in clined to believe that the impression left upon the American mind is that the faults of those who were charged with buying stock was not that they did anything wrong in reference to the stock, but that afterward, they prevar icared or lied about it. Now, without discussing anybody else, I call you to witness that I stated at once what I knew about it, the first time that 1 knew the talk was going the rounds of the newspapers. When the committee of investigation came to make up their report there was one thing in that re port to which I personally took excep tions, and only one. I understand that a gentleman occupied this room a few nights ago who undertook to make the impression upon his audience that Mr. Garfield was found guilty of some im proper relation with the Credit Mobi lier. Let me read you a sentence or two from that report. The committee says : "Concerning the members to whom he has sold, or offered to sell, the stock, the committee say that they 'do not find that Mr. Ames, in his negotiations with the persons above named, entered into any details of the relations be tween the Credit Mobilier Company and the Pacific Company, or gave them any specific information as to the amount of dividends they would be likely to receive, further than has al ready been stated viz: that in some cases he had guaranteed a profit of ten per cent. They do not find as to the members of the present House above named that they were aware of the ob ject of Mr. Ames, or that tlipv lmri -.n-.. Lother purpose in taking this stock than I 4-r tMrtlrn " ftAirnltln !..-! A -- . i "; 1'iuiiuiuie investment. They have not been able to find that any of these members of-Congress have been affected in their official action in consequence. They do not find that either of the above named gentlemen in contracting with Mr. Ames had any corrupt motive or pur pose himself, or was aware Mr. Ames had any, nor did either of them sup pose he was guilty of any improprietv or indelicacv in becoming a purchaser of this stock.' And, finallv, 'that the committee find nothing in the conduct or motive of either of these gentlemen in taking this stock that calls for any recommendation by the committee of the House.'" See pages 8, 9 and 10. m JUr. Ames first testimony he J names Sixteen memhprQ nf Pnnm-Ks tn' ,-t i. . , .. . """&"-" " i v. uuiu ue onerea tne stock, and says that eleven of them bought it, but he sets Mr. Garfield down among the five who did not buy it. lie says: "He (Garfield) did not pay for it or receive it. He never paid any money on that stock nor received money on account of it." Let me add that the last grant to the Union Pacific Rail road was by the act of July, 1804, and that Oakes Ames had nothing to do with the Credit Mobilier till more than two years after that date. The point to which I took exception to the report of the committee was this: "The report held that Mr. Ames and Mr. Garfield did agree upon the purchase of the stock, and that Mr. Garfield received $329 on account of it. I insisted that the evidence did not warrant that conclusion, and rose in my place in the House and announced that I should make- that statement good before the American public; that I held myself responsible to demon strate that the committee was wrong; that, although they charged me with no wrong, they still had made a mis take of fact which was against the ev idence and unjust to me. Soon after I published a pamphlet of twenty-eight pages, in which I carefully and thor oughly reviewad all the testimony re lating to me. I have now stood before the American people since the 8th day of May, 1873, announcing that the fol lowing propositions were proven con cerning myself. That I never even agreed to tike the stock of Mr. Ames; that I never subscribed for it; never did take it; never received any divi dend from it, and never was in any way made a beneficiarv by it. Seven thousand copies of that pamphlet have been distributed throughout the Uni ted States. Almost every newspaper in the United States has had a copy mailed to if. Every member of the Forty-second Congress Democrat and Republican had a copy, and there is not known to me a man wtio, having read my review, has denied its conclu siveness of these propositions. I have seen iio newspaper review of it that denies the conclusiveness of the propo sitions. It is for these reasons that a great public journal, the New York Evening Post, said a few days ago that on this point General Garfield's an swer had been received by the Ameri can people as satisfactory." Applause. I understand that a Mr. Tattle, of Painsville, said here on this platform, a few nights ago, that either the Com mittee of Investigation of the House of Representatives or Mr. Garfield had committed perjury in regard to this Credit Mobilier matter. I think that gentleman is a Probate Judge. I won der if he ever heard of two men mak ing their statement of a case differing materially from each other without one or the other of them being a per jurer. If I were in the habit of calling names, it would not be difficult to find a name for a man whose intellectual vision leads him to such a canclusion. If there is any gentleman in this audi ence who desires to ask anv questions concerfjrrrR the Credit Mobilier I shall be glad to hear it. (No response.) If not, would it not be about as well to modify the talk on that subject here after. Applause. Ourran's Igenuity. A farmer attending a fair with a hundred pounds in his pocket, took the precaution of depositing it in the hands of the landlord of the public house at which he stopped. Having occasion for it shortly afterward, he resorted to mine host for payment. But the landlord, too deep for the countryman, wondered what lie meant, and wits quite sure no such sum had ever been lodged in his hands by the astonished rustic. After ineffectual appeals to the collection, and finally to the honor of Bardolph, the farmer ap plied to Curran for advice. "Have patience, my friend," said the counsel; "speak to the landlord civilly tell him you have left your money with some other person. Take a friend with you, and lodge with him another hundred in the presence of your friend, and come to me." He did so, and returned to his legal friend. "And now I can't see how I am go ing to be the better off for this, if I got my second hundred back again ; but how is that to be done?" "Go and ask him for it when he is alone," said the counsel. "Aye, sir, asking won't do it, I'm afraid, without my witness, at any rate." "Never mind, take my advice," said the counsel "do as I bid you, and re turn to me." The farmer returned with his hun dred, glad to find that safely in his pos session. "Now, sir, I must be content, but I don't see I'm much better off." "Well, then," said the counsel, "now take your friend with you, and ask the landlord for the hundred pounds your friend saw you leave with him." We need not add that the wily land lord found he had been taken off his guard, while our honest friend return ed to thank his counsel, exultingly, with both hundred in his pocket. Committee of the Whole. It is one of the rules of the national house of representatives that every bill involving the levy of a tax or as expenditure of money, shall be first discussed.in what is called committee of the whole. As a committee of the whole is made up of precisely the same members as the house itself the reas ons for this rule are not apparent to persons who are unacquainted with parliamentary usages. What is chiefly gained, when the house goes into committee of the whole, is that then the rules of the house ap ply only in part, and those which take their place are more favorable to free discussion and amendment, and to the rapid transaction of business. We can only give one or two illustra tions to show this. When the house is transacting business a member may move the previous question, and thus prevent amendments from being offered or voted iipon. In the committee of the whole amendments may be offered without limit, and there is only one way of stopping a debate, which we shall presently mention. Againin the house, one-fifth of the members may order the yeas and nays to be taken, and this often makes pro gress very slow. In committee of the whole the yeas and nays cannot be taken at all. Totes are taken by ris ing, or by the members passing between tellers. When the house votes to go into committ say on an appropriation bill the speaker leaves the chair, and calls to it some member who is ad dressed as "Mr. Chairman," and who usually acts as chairman when the house is in committee of the whole on that bill until it has been disposed of. In committee of the whole the mem ber who reports the bill from the com mittee on appropriations has charge of it, and first makes a speech in explana tion. He is followed by other mem bers, who discuss the measure gener ally and not in reference to particular items. When the general debate is ended the bill is taken up in aetail. The clerk reads it, clause by clause. If a member wishes to offer an amendment to any clause, he interrupts the reading and proposes it. The usual practice is to allow the mover of each amendment, and those who support or oppose it, so many minutes each, and to limit the time that can be given in all to one amendment. Sometimes a member will move to strike out the last word of an amendment for the sake of mak ing a few remarks. The reading of the bill, the moving of amendments and the voting contin ue until the members are tried, when the motion is made that the committee "rise." When this is carried the "chairman" leaves the chair, the speak er of the house takes it, and thus the house resumes its session. The chair man then says to the house that the committee has come to no resolution, and asks leave to sit again. Sometimes, however, it happens that a long time is wasted in talk and in repeated amendments to the same clause. As the committee of the whole have no power to stop the de bate, the object is accomplished in this way: The member who has charge of the bill first moves that the committee rise. When this is carried, and the speaker has taken the chair, and the chairman has reported, as we have stated above, a motion is made that when the committee resumes its ses sion, all debate on the pending clause shall be closed in one minute, or in five minutes. The motion having been adopted the house immediately goes into committee of the whole again. When the consideration of a bill has been finished the committee rises. The chairman then reports the measure and amendments to the house, which at once votes on the amendments, either separately or as a whole, and then votes on the passage of the bill. In the senate bills are considered "as in committee of the whole," but with out so many formalities. A PEESOSTAL EJSULT. Hancock's Treatment of His Men Amounts to That to Each of Them. Two Men Who Fout Under "The Dor set" Testify to His Insulting Treatment. Kansas City Journal. Hancock has been paraded from Maine to California and from Minne sota to the Gulf as the idol of the sec ond army corps, Ins old command, un til the average democrat imagines that all of the old soldiers who served un der him are just crazy to vote for him next fall, but there are some things connected with his career which indi cates that instead of his old soldiers voting for him they will unite against him as solid masses as when they at tacked the enemy in Virginia. As a sample of the position in which Han cock is held, a Journal renortnr inter viewed Mr. Jerry Ward the other day. ward iougnt under Hancock, and tells the storv in a cool, dplihorata iv:iv which, added to his fine reputation in the community, will obtain for his story the ci edit of exact truthfulness. Upon entering the printing office of Ward & Tew, 512 Main street, Mr. Ward was found busilv emrnwH Imr. stopped and greeted his visitor cordial- 1 fill.- a. 1 iy. j. ne reporter saiu : "You fought under Hancock, I be lieve, Mr. Ward ?" "Yes; I was a soldier in the Fourth Ohio volunteer infantry in the First brigade third division of the second ar my corps." "Have you any objection to stating what the soldiers thought of Hancock." "I have none in the least. Hancock was always considered a good general, although I cannot recall anything par ticularly brilliant that he ever did. Personally he was much disliked by all of his men." "What was the cause of it?" "He was disliked and hated because he held his men as worse than dogs. He had no feeling for a private soldier, and the men knew it." "Can you recall any particular oc casion when he expressed himself openly?" "Yes, indeed, nere is one sentence I heard him say one day which I will never forget. It was fight after the second battle of Bull Run. Lee had flanked us, and after retreating we were advancing again. The affair which I am about to relate occurred between Manassas Junction and War ton. The Fourth Ohio was marching left front when we came to a creek. A halt was called and the commanding officer of the engineer's corps suggested to Hancock that a pontoon bridge had better be thrown across. Hancock w;is standing but a few feet from me when the conversation took place, and I heard every word of it. Hancock replied : "No. Let the sons of b s wade through. It won't hurt them." I never forgot that, and the whole, corps never forgot it, nor will they forget it next November. The entire -army of over thirty thousand men had to wade the creek, which was waist deep. It would have taken but twenty minutes to throw a pontoon bridge across the stream, and every man could have passed over dry shod. After crossing the stream the men were obliged to walk through deep sand for a mile. The sand worked down into their shop and nine out of ten men went lame from raw feet, the skin beihg worn off in patches by the wet sand. The wa ding of the stream would not have caused a murmur but for the brutal conduct of Hancock in applying the foul and unsoldierly epithet to his men.

"The democratic papers have circu lated the story that 00,000 of his men lived in Pennsvlvania and would tnrn l the state for him." "That is a very ridiculous statement. His corps never amounted to more than 40,000 men, providing that his regi ments were full. Before Grant took charge there werelessthan 35,000 men. Of these men many were from Massa chusetts and the majority from Ken tucky, Indiana and the west. One whole brigade, the 'Irish Brigade,' was from New York, and the Pennsylvania troops were a very small minority. Their 00,000 Pennsylvania veterans would be more correct if counted 6.- 000 and 5,000 of them that knew him and heard of his sentence, 'Let the sons of b s wade,' would consider it a personal affront to be accused of an intention of voting for such a man. 1 know I would." Mr. Ward knows whereof he sneaks. The city does not possess a better citi zen and his statement will open the eyes of the boomers. From another well known citizen who served under Hancock during the war, the following facts were gleaned which coincides with Mr. Ward's statement about the pompous military aristocr.it, who considered a private soldier on an equal with a dog. This gentleman said: "I was a member of the famous 'Irish Brigade,' in the second army corp. Our boys just lived for the hon or of the brigade, and would have glad ly died any time to rescue the dear old standards, the harp of Erin and the stars and stripes, which ever floated side by side in the van. One day we were a little slow in obeying an order to charge on account of a misunder standing, for God knows that the 'Irish Brigade' was always too willing to attack. Our commander returned in a few minutes and we charged. He seemed down-hearted and confidential ly related to his officers that night that Hancock had ordered him angrily to 'charge with his flannel-mouthed sons of b s (a favorite epithet) and let them be killed to make room for bet ter men.' The brigade was nearly ruined by this." There are many men in the city who fought under this man for years men who knew him before as well as dur ing the war, but not a man will speak well of him who knew him. He is begging the votes to-day of men whom he called vile names at the crossing of the ford near Manassas. The ford is Hancock's Waterloo, for the men who crossed under the fire of his words, more scathing than that of a battery, iire now no longer private soldiers, but American citizens, better than their commander, and holding in their hands the mighty weapons of. Ameri can sovereigns, the ballot, which will be put into the contest next November, a mute but powerful protest against the insult to the second array corps of the republic seventeen years ago. The Democratic Eecord Dissected- It is amusing just now to hear some gentlemen here boasting of their prin ciple, and charging every body else with the want of it. They have not been so particular in the past. In 1SG1, they supported a platform which declared it unlawful to coerce a State. In 1862 they declared themselves in favor of a vigorous prosecution of the war. In 1864 they intimated that the war was a failure. In 1SC0 they rejoiced at its success. In 1S68 they opposed the Constitu tional amendments. In 1S70 they accepted them as nec essary, and in 1S72 they approved them as wise. Nor have they always been so fearfully honest on the money question. In 1S02 they denounced the Legal tender act as unconstitutional. In 1SCS they shouted themselves hoarse in favor of a doctrine as to greenbacks, far more extreme than Mr. Field's. In 1S72 they pledged themselves to the resumption of specie payments. In 1876 they advocated the uncon ditional repeal of the Resumption act. Such are and have been the "time honored principles" of this Democra tic party. All things to all men, and a unit on but one, and that an undying devotion to slavery and hatred of liber ty. Detroit Post and Tribune. m i m A Doctor That was a Doctor.

At the risk of making too large a de mand upon your columns, as well as the patience of your readers, I wish to call -their and your attention to a remarka ble speech General Garfield made dur ing the long session of the forty-fifth Congress, which attracted great inter est at the time of its delivery, and contained some things that are memor able. It was on the 21st day of may, 1S78, during the discussion of the army bill. An attempt was made by the democratic leaders to cut down the army to a number not to exceed 20,000 men. Mr. Hewitt, of New York made a very olaborate defence of the propos ed reduction, and among other things ho insisted very strenuously that the army had no f unctions whatever as a police force orto assist in maintaining the public peace, that being a duty devolving upon the states; in short, that there was no such thing as a "Na tional peace" to be preserved. It fell to General Garfield as the leader of the minority, to answer this speech, which he proceeded to do in a most effective and eloquent speech delivered on that day. He disposed very clearly of the argument that it was purely the bus iness of the State to protect her citi zens, by appealing to experience of tho country during the alarming strikes and disturbances which occurred in tho summer of 1S77, and by showing that in ten great states in the Union the State functionaries called on the Gov ernment for aid, avowing to their own inability to keep the peace, and thus vindicating that power which our fathers had placed in the constitution for moments of supreme peril. In the course of the speech he enter ed into a clear and decisive vindication of our republican institutions against the criticisms of Macaulay, in his cel ebrated letter to Randall on the life of Jefferson. He showed that the great historian made no sufficient account of two potent elements, which powerfully tended to the conservation of our in stitutions, to-wit ; Our education forces, and the fact that there are among ua no fixed and permanent political or social classes. At this point there ac cured the utterance of three or four sentences that fairly shook the house by storm, and were delivered with such power of language and oratorical force as have rarely been exceeded. Let me be allowed to produce them: "Remember that nearly half the pop ulation of England are agriculturalists, and the laborers in that class amount to not less than three or four millions; they have above them landlords, and above them the several ranks of nobil ity, and above them the royal family. The bartiers are well nigh impassable. But, thank God, and thank tho founders of the republic and the later patriots who have made the declaration of in dependence a reality, here in America there Jire no chisses. Applause. "Our society does not resemble the crust of the earth with its impassable barriers of rock ; but resembles the wa ters of the mighty sea, deep, broad and boundless, and yet so free in all its parts that the drop which mingles with tho sand at the bottom is to rise through all the mass of waters till it flashes in the light on the crest of the highest wave. Applause. "There is no boy in America, how ever humble birth, or whatever depth of poverty his lot may be cast, who, if he has a strong arm, a clear head, and a brave heart, may not rise by the light of our schools and the freedom of our laws, until he shall stand foremost in the honor and confidence of his coun try." Applause. "This is my answer. For these reas ons I do not fear the Cassandra pro phecy of Macaulay. The time may come when we shall find it necessary to fight for society ; and when that time comes the first signal of the contest will make us one; for all who love lib erty ruled by law will spring to the de fense of society against anarchy, against chaos, and against the red rule of the torch. To what power shall we look in the struggle to protect and and save society if it be not to the con stitution, and the strong arm of the national government." You will notice that the reporter has sprinkled "applause" liberally through the above sentences, but this very faintly indicates the extent of the ap plause that at the close of the third paragraph almost shook the capitol by its unrestrained vehemence. How almost prophetic that third paragraph sounds, and yet I venture to say that nothing at "that moment was futher from the orator's thoughts than the elevation he had already attainded, or the still higher one at which, I trust, a grateful country is about to call a faithful, just and honored servant.
