A long time after the act of Congress, amended in 1SG4, in aid of the Pacific railroad was passed, the road being in great danger of breaking down, I. was urged to aid in its construction, which I consented to do, and never since I had and con nection with it, or thought of being connected with its construction, has Congress granted any aid, or been asked to. I did not own a share of stock until 166, and this charge that a distribution of the stock of the Credit Mobilier In 1S6S bribed members of Congress to procure the passage of an act in 1864 is too absurd to be accred ited.

From the Cincinnati Times,' June 11. All Munich is at the present time full of rumors about a strange love af fair between the young King of Bava ria and an American confidence wo man. Tho following particulars of this interesting affair, which has caused a great deal of merriment among the Bavarian - Democrats, but nas deeply disgusted the memlers of the royal family have been ascertained from .trustworthy sources. In January, 1872, there arrived at Munich an American lady of about twenty-eight tr thirty, of very preposessing appearance, ele gant manners, and richly dr.-r-.-nl. She registered her name at the 4 poll i ti ger Hotel, where she stopped, as Mrs. Fanny Jordan, from Cincinnati, Ohio; Mrs. Jordan was accompanied by a fetnme tie chambrt had ple nty of bag gage with her, and,io all appearances, was in easy circumstances. JShe had letters of introduction to tho Consul of tho United States, and had little diffi culty in gaining access to the best cir cles of society. Even her wish to be presented at Court was gratified, and she was introduced to the Queen Dow ager at a soiree at the palace. It appears that Mrs. Jordan con ceived, some time after her presenta tion at Court, the idea of entrapping the young King, who rarely appeared in his capital, but most of the ti mo led almost the life a hermit at his country seat of Ilohenschwangau. Mrs. Jordan resolved to see the King, and on the 12th of February set out for the village, of- Bergnnr sear. Uoben echwangua, and engaged two. rooms at the Golden Bear Hotel. She was not longin ascertaining the places where tho King, who is fond or walking out alone for hours in the neighborhood, might be met, -and the first fine day Mrs. Jordan walked out with hcemme tie chambre, in order to meet King Louis, and, if possible, to make his ac quaintance. About two o'clock in the afternoon she saw a tall young man dressed in a suit of- iron-gray, his head covered with a broad-brimmed, low crowned hat, and carrying a small riding-whip in his hand, approaching. Mrs. Jordan, who recognized the well known features of the King, at once hastened to make .preparations for at tracting his attention. She took from the hands of her maid a telescope and a travellers hand-book, and seemed lost in admiration of the beautiful scenery. L' A few minutes afterward the King M as close to her. The prenosessing ap pearance of the American lady, her ev ident admiration of the landscape, to which Louis the Second is very proud, .made at once an impression upon him, ard he stood still, lifting hi3 hat. Mrs. Jordan returned his salutation, and, approaching the King, asked him the name of a village which was to be seen In the distance. The King politely gave the Information, and then entered into a conversation with, her. They conversed in French, walking slowly along the highway toward the village, and, on separating, Mrs. Jordan, who expressed a great desire to visit Ilo henschwangau, was overjoyed to re ceive from the King, who told her with unaffected frankness who he was, an invitation to inspect . his country scat and delightful gardens, which are among the finest in Europe. It may be Imagined that she unprov ed the opportunity, and on the follow ing afternoon called on the King. He escorted her through the palace, showed .her the picture gallery, the theatre, the 'conservatory, and the fountains in the gardens. Her well-calculated efforts to make an impression on him, her skill as a conversationalist, her lively tem perament, did not remain without ef fect upon the King, who is little vers ed Jn worldly affairs, and by no means insensible to the blandishments of a pretty atid accomplished woman. when Mrs. Jordan finally bade him adieu he shook her warmly by the hand, and asked her to visit him again, and even promised to return her call. lie was as good as his word, and next day he paid her a visit at the Golden Boar. Mrs. Jordan's road to success was now an easy one. Shc met the King frequently at Hohenchwagau, or in the environs. The two made long excursions on horseback, or walked for hours In the wooded hills of the neigh borhood. The siren seemed to exercise an irresistible charm upon the Prince. His attendants noticed that he became thoughtful and melancholy; but, knowing that remonstrances would be of no avail, did not interfere with his intimacy with the American lady. Mrs. Jordan soon received substan tial marks of the royal favor. Being a vcrv erood horsewoman, she was pre sented with a very fine white mare by the King. A valuable diamond brace let, a miniature portrait of the King, set with emeralds, and other presents of value, were pressed upon her by her royal lover. Finally, she managed to obtain loans of quite large sums of money from him. Everything went on swimmingly, and Mrs. Jordan was In a fair way of becoming to Louis the Second what Lola Montez had been to his grandfather, King Louis the First, when an untoward event put an end to was. On application at the office of the United States Consul, they were shown the letters of introduction which she had presented to that functionary, and which were from reputable people in Cincinnati and New York. At the Oberpollinger Hotel, where she had stopped for nearly a month, nothing could be said against her. She had always conducted herself with the strictest propriety, and had promptly paid her bills. But she had left three largo trunks at the hotel, and the de tectives, with that disregard of personal rights so peculiar to the police of Ger many, broke the trunks open. They found in them numerous letters, which left no doubt of the real character of Mrs. Jordan. It appeared from these letters that she had passed the last three years in several European capi-: tals under several aliases. It was true, that she was from Cincinnati, but her real name, as appeared from several letters written to her by her father, wasChumley. She-had- at least one hundred letters from lovers. not a few of "-TfhichT contained valuable inclos ures. . ' r - She had last been to Berlin, where she had had a - liaison with a 1'russian; colonel, who had committed forgery to' gratify her incessant demands for i money,, and who, in consequence had been cashiered. She herself had escaped arrest only by precipitate flight from Berlin. In short, the detective? dis covered that she was a dangerous con-i fidence woman of the worst sort, and they went thercuixjn to the village where she was stopping, and told her they would arrest her unless she con sented to leave Bavaria at once. The baffled adventuress at first tried to put on a lold front, and showed a disposition to bid defiance to the offi cers ; but when told that her true char acter was thoroughly known, she deemed discretion the better part of valor, and, writing a tearful letter to the King, set out for Switzerland. It is believed bhe took in money and val uables, about 10,000 witii her. Augustus Clark, Littleton, two; J. M. garner, Swan Station, two; and to Anthony Knight, ;W. W. Green, J. II. Griffin, Wm.

On Sunday: morning about 4 o'clock she awoke, and saw her sister that she had left in New. York standing in her room, and got up to meet her when the vision vanished. She returned to her bed, fell asleep and was again awakened with the recurring vision,' and by noon received word that her sister, whom she had left at home well, and of whose illness she had not heard, had died at that very hour.'
