Garfield with " connection with the Credit Mobilier, and with an at tempt to subborn paying, hunts up evi dence against him and presents it in connection witli the charges brought at the same time azjunsfchsylerXolfax, aud the testimony agayist ot oM them. aa uie iacis in uie case uj be known we give below the evidence of the Sun : "Writting to Col. McComb in 1868 in regard to Credit Mobilier stock set apart for the purpose of currupting leg islators, Oakes Ames had said, "I have used this where it will produce most good for us, I think." Pencilled on trie back of the same letter was Oakes Ames's memorandum list of Senators and Congressmen bribed. There were thirteen names in all. Here are two of them: - S. Colfax! Speaker. 2,660 Garfield, O,. -200ft "Most of the persons affected by this preliminary revelation hastened to deny their guilt The denials of Schuy ler Colfax and James A. Garfield were alike explicit and impressive. Colfax went from his desk in the Senate cham ber before a committee of the House of Representatives, and, having sworn in the name of God to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, made this statement: "I state, explicitly, that no one ever gave or offered to give me any shares of stock in the Credit Mobilier or the Un ion Pacific Railroad. I had never re ceived, nor had. tendered to me, any dividends in cash, stock or bonds accru ing upon any stock in either of said or ganizations. I never received a dollar in bonds, stocks or dividends. In the Senate chamber, again, Colfax shed tears while protesting his inno cence, and appealed to the Eternal Tribunal of Justice to establish the truth of his words Gen. James A Garfield also swore in the name of God to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth ; and having taken that solemn oath, he said: "Mr. Ames never gave nor offered to give me any stock or other valuable thing as a gift. I once asked and ob tained from him, and afterward repaid to him, a loan of $300; that amount is the only valuable thing I ever received from or delivered to him. I never own ed, received, or agreed to receive any stock of the Credit Mobilier or of the Union Pacific Railroad, nor any divi dends or profits arising from either of them. "Q Were any dividends ever tender ed to you on the stock of the Credit Mobilier upon the supposition that you were to be a subscriber? A. No, sir. "Q. The loan you have repaid, if I understand you correctly? A Yes, sir." Both Colfax's and Garfield's sworn de nials were made under the pressure of the emergency, and before it was known or supposed that Oakes Ames would ever be a witness to the truth. Circum stances which it inot now necessary to recall, brought Oakes Ameei to the stand, with his memorandum book. By the record of his transactions with Col fax the account stood : "Colfax, twenty shares Credit Mobil ier, cost, $2,000- interest for seven months and ten days, $86.72, making a total of $2,086.72, less 80 per cent, bond dividend at 97, $1,553 $534.72." The same boolf showed that a sixty per cent, cash dividend of $1,200 was paid by him to Colfax. Gen. Garfield's account in the same memorandum book was as follows: "Garfield,, ten shares in the Credit Mobilier $1,000; seven months and ten days interest, $43.36 $1,043.36; 80 per cent, bond dividend at 7ri87?0 $267.36, interest, 4.une 20 $3.64; balance, $27i.

Oakes Ames swore that he had paid it by check on the Sergeant-at-Arms. Sergeant-at-Arms Ordway pro duced the cancelled check: "Washington, June 20, 1868. Sergeant-at-Arm8,UM. Howe of Repre sentatives: k -i "Pay to S. C. or bearer $1,200, and charge to my account. , "Oakes Ames." This check, wliichJCelfax swore be: had never seen, was drawn June 20. The books of the Sergeant-at-Arms showed that it was paid June 21. The books of the First National Bank of Washington, where the Vice-President kept a private account, showed that on June 21 Schuyler Colfax deposited there $1,200 in c&shandlthe deposit iicitei. in nis own: nanawrmng was pro duced. His perjury as well as his bribed taking was proved. His closest friends ceased frying to defend him. "After one effort, pathetically absurd in its weak ness, he ceased to try to .defend him self.

His cash dividend, paid to mm J une 19, 1868, by Oakes Ames, auntedlo $329.

In one conversation he admitted it and said as near as I can rem'ember, there was $2,400 due in stock anp bonds. He made a little memorandum of $1,000 and, $1,400, and, as I recollect, said there was $1,000 of Union Pacific stock, $1,000 of Credit Mobilier stock, and $300 of stock or bonds, I doj not recollect what. ; Q.Have you the memoranaum that Mr. Garfield made? A. Ijhave the fig ures that he made." - r Paper in Mr. Garfield's handwriting was shown to the committee, containing figures as follows: L , . .'4 V $2,400 "Q You say that thesefigures were made by Mr. Garfield f A Yes, sir. - r? s - .t Q. That was his ide of what was comingi to him'?f A.-Yes sir." ' All this, be it remembered, occurred after the investigation ha begunaf ter James A. Garfield had sworn that he "never owned, reeeive, or agreed to receive anylstock of the Credit Mo bilier or of the Union Pacific Railroad, nor any dividends or profits arising from either of them." I And after Garfield had sworn to this falsehood, a Republican committee of the House of Representatives, made up of his own political and persjqnal friends, and with Judge Poland of Vermont as its Chairman, branded hintf forever as a bribe taker and a perjurer in these blasting words : j "He Garfield agreed wih Mr. Ames to take the ten shares of Credit Mobilier stock, but did not pay for the same. Mr. Ames received the eighty percent, divi dend in bonds, and sold thean for ninety-seven per cent, and also .received the sixty per cent, cash dividend, which, to gether with the price of the. stock and interest, left a balance of! $329. This sum was paid over to Mr. Garfield by a check on the Sergeant-at-arms." The Credit Mobilier exposure shatter ed a good many reputation; but it left no characters worse damaged than those of Schuyler Colfax arid James A. Garfield. Schuyler Colfax, Unnoticed, is living, out the last years of a dishonored life ; while by a curious turo of aji memorable struggle in a nominating jConvention, James A. Garfield, his fellow criminal, is the Republican party's cindidate for President of the United States! THE SCALES HOOJI.

A special dispatch to the Wheeling Register from Charleston, West Vir ginia, says: The report of . a lynching which occurred near the mouth of the Big Sandy River, in Logan county, has just been received. The victim was William A. Capen, a lad of eighteen years, who on May 1st, shot and killed a young man of his neighborhood named Lou Matheny. The story of the first crime is that the two young men were suitors for the hand of a Miss White, and in a jealous quarrel between them Matheny was shot to death. It is now alleged that great indignation was aroused at the time, it being claimed by the friends of Matheny that the shooting was an unprovoked murder. Since then there has been a steady growth of an intensely hostile sentiment to Capen, and toward the close of last week the plan was formed to summari ly dispose of him. The band that lynch ed him numbered seventy-five men, who surrounded the house where Capen was shortly after dark. The boy was surprised and overpowered before he had an opportunity to prepare for his defence. He was led to a convenient tree, and, though begging piteously for his life, his merciless captors roughly tied a rope about his neck, and, hauling him up hand over hand until his feet cleared the-ground, left. him to die,.
