THE GRABS OF GARFIELD. Credit Mobilier-uack Pay Steal-re Golyer Contract. From the New York Sun, May S. James A. Garfield is now serv ing his ninth consecutive term as a member of the house ot repre senatives. At the end of his term he will succeed M. Thurman in the Senate, as night succeeds day. Gifted with fine natural parts, possessed of some lite.rary ability, given to study, popular in man ners, and with a pleasing style of speech few men have begun pub ic life with such advantages. No public man has sacrificed his op portunities more unworthily. Mr. Garfield entered the army in 1861 as a colonel of volunteers, and left it a major-general in 1863, with a record which, though not shining, was quite creditable. The Republicans of the Western Reserve, who had sent Joshua R. Giddings to.Congress until he be came recognized as the father of House, took up Garfield on his re jurn from the war, at 32 years of age, and have clung to him since then, despite the most damning roofs of his venality and jobbery n legislation. Fidelity to the arty in its fierce and intolerant pirit seems, like the mantle of harity, to -have covered a multi ude of sins in his case. Thrown into the midst of the eckless legislation for wbhieb the alamity of civil war furn-ished an pportunity, he soon developed be traits of character which have ore recently made his name no orious throughout the country. e became the advocate and apol gist of .the huge land grants and u.bsidies *by whbich millions . of cres of the public domain and ens of millions of money were oted to great corporations and rings. That may be called the eginning of the organized cor uption which flourished during rant's two terms. Garfield voted or almost every job, and for al nost every iniquitous scheme of he lobby that then controlled the eding committees.. THE CREDIT MOBILIER. The construection of the Union acific iRailroad furnished the op ortunity for a gigantic fraud. ongress voted, money and land nough to build it without any con siderable issue of bonds or stocks y the company. The directors ,ere forbidden by law from en aging in contracts or holdin~g ther interests of profit. 'Ihere fore they could not become bene ficiaries by thbe abuse of their trust until the obstaicle was overcome. Tbey soon found a way to do it. company known as the Credit obilier, organized upon the French plan, had procured a char ter from Pennsylvania, which proved to be a failure in its hands. Dris charter was purchased. A ring of officers and directors of the Union Pacific Road obtained absolute control of its affairs. Thbey ontracted with themselves under another name for the construction at exorbitant prices. They swin dled the United States, the bond bolders, and the stockhbolders for the benefit of their own close cor-' poration. In 1867, Oakes Ames, James B. Alley and others, known as the 'Boston party,' got possession of the Union Pacific and the Credit Mobilier. At that time Ames was a member of Congress, and a man ufacturer of reputed wealth. The hands, and the dividends of the Credit Mobilier had already at tracted attention. Elibu B. Wash. burno introduced a resolution in the House which alarmed the jobbers for their immense profits. Colfax, then Speaker, and one of the creatures of the ring, silenced this movement for a time by par iiamentary tricks, Still the Credit Mobilier monop olists were uneasy, and proposed to buy off opposition. In January, 1868, Ames .vrote to McComb, who afterwards started the in vestigation from motives of re venge. '1 have assigned, as far as I have gone,' (certain shares to different States;) the fifty per cetn t. increase I want for distri bution here and soon.' A few days after be was still moie ur gent. -He wrote again : 'In view of Washburne's move here, 1 go in for making our dividend in full. I want that $14,000 increase of the Credit Mobilier to sell here. We want more friends in this Congress.' As he himself said, the object w as to put the stock 'where it would do the most good.' The stock was then selling at $350 a share on a par value of $100. It was issued in blocks of thirty, twenty and ten shares to members of Congress at par, and the so called purchase was more than extinguished by accrued divi dends. It was a niee stock to bold, The first disclosure of this cor ruption was made in the Sun dur ing the summer of 1872, implica ting many of the Republican lead ers. A Presidential election was then pending, and they all ve hemently denied any connection with the fraud. GARFIELD's STATEMENT was more explicit and bolder than that of any of-bis confederates in the crime. An investigation was ordered by the House soon after the meeting of Congress ; the ex amination of witnesses began on December 12, 1872. At first Oakes Ames declined to make any ex posure ; but when the incrimina ted members combined to swear him down and to free themselves by rank perjury, his blood wvarm ed quickly and he determined to let the truth be known, though in the end there was much concealed. Garfield submitted to the com mittee a prepared statement on January 14, 1873: '1 never owned, 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 tbem.' Ames was recalled -January 23, 1872, and testified t~o the stock be had issued to Gar-field, the divi dends allowed him, and the balance of money paid into his and, which Garfield pretended was a 'loan.' lie submitted a memorandum of the account in detail. It came to-the knowledge of tbe committee that Garfield had visited Ames with the object of inducing him to retract or modify is testimony, and he was re-ex amined on the 29th of January, as follows: Q. You may state whether, in cenversation with you, Mr. Gar field claims, as he claimed before us, that the only transaction be tween you was borrowing $300 ? A. No, sir, he did not claim that with me. Q. State all you- know in refer ence to it. A. I told him he knew very well that that was a dividend. I made out a statement and showed it to him at the ime. In our conversation he admitted it, said there was $2,400 due him in stocks and bonds. He made a little memorandum of $1,0C0 and $1,400, and said ther-e was $1,000 of Union Pacific Railroad stock, 1,000 of Credit Mobilier stock, and $400 of stock or bonds. Q. When was that memoradum made ? A. it was made in my room. 1 cannot remember the date. It was made since this in vestigation commenced. Q. Have you the memorandum that Mr-. Garfield made ? A. I have the figures that be made. [Paper shown in Garfield's hand writing ] (o Youn a these figures were made by Mr. Garfield ? A. Yes, sir. 1 Q. That was his idea of what i was coming to him ? A. Yes, sir. t Garfield sought to tamper with ( and suborn Ames, and the at- . termpt ended in his claiming a lar- ( ger share in Credit Mobilier t than had- been aHoned to him, a after having soleinnly sworn a l; f'ortnigiht.previously that be 'never I owned, received or agreed to s to receive'any stock of the Credit t Mobilier nor any dividend or. b profit arising' therefrom. b THE CLIMAX was CAPPED C K when Ames produced his diary with the original entry against $raireld, dated, Tuesday, Septemn ber 29. 1868, settibg forth his ac count for ten shares of Credit Mo bilier. These terrible revelations were 9 allowed to pass unnoticed. Gar- 2 field did not dare to go before the a committee and confront Ames, be- I R cause he knew there were still s other proofs in reserve. He waited l until Ames was in his grave, and g then, with Schuyler Colfax and others who had been bribed, he I attempted to whitewash the in famy. But, passing from that period to more recent times, let us ex amine his rtcord after he became chairman of the committee on ap propriations, and, as one of his b purchasers said, 'held the purse strings of the nation.' The Forty. second Congress, in which the Re publicans had large majorities in both houses, has gone into history as memorable for scandalous leg- t islation. Among many disgrace- n ful acts was that authorizing b THE INFAMOUS SANBORN CONTRACTS, n bZ which informers and spies were a enabled to seize the books of mor- n chants, and, by connivance to j+ blackmail them, and at the same ii time to plunder the treasury of t im-mense sums. That law was the r result of a- corrupt combination v between certain metbers of Con- t gress; certain treasury officials t and one San born, with one Jayne b s the master workman. Sc,me e idea of the maguitude of their op- '] rations may be tormed from the r fact tbat Sanborn drew from the v treasury nearly $175,000 for three c months' service. But for Garfield's.direct- comn- S plicity, that infamy would never ave disfigured the statute book. The job was done in this way : Sawyer, then carpet-bag senator t from the South, afterward assist- a (g secretary of the treasury, and f, a confederate of Sanborn's ring, e introduced an amendment to the 1: legislative, executive and judicial .s bill, authorizing the contracts to il be made. It was a 'rider' and not y in any way germane to the bill. g But the Republicans then had the t cronic habit of mounting their l1 rery. worst legislation as riders r on the regular supply bills. The t bill, tbus amended, was rep)orted a to the House A pril 8, 1872, and v the job was badly beaten. Then came the fine hand ofi trickery to play its pare. 3Mr. c Garfield, instead of allowing the c bill to go back to the Senate, d where the action of the House s might be concurred in, moved di rectly -for a committee of confer- 3 ence, so as to let six men legislate a coercively for three hundred, with t himself as chairman on the House ~ side. Of course the job was put , back on the bill, and it passed 3 the Senate,wvhere it had origina- a ted. But the House stood firm, e and again, by a majority of one, refused its assent on a call of the c yeas and nays. Twi ice defeated, d the bill was recommitted to the e same conference, and when next r reported the job had a long tail of f verbiage, attached to deceive some li and to operate as an excuse for e oters whbose prejudices had mean- v wile been conquered. Mr. Gar- 1 field then applied the previous j question, and drove the bill p through by ten majority. Addi- t tion, division and silence won the t day. THE SALARY GRAB. t Gen. Garfield is mainly respon. c sible for the passage of the salary grab and back pay steal, the his- e tory of which may be briefly re- c cited. Gen. Butler reported a bill t r.m t he judic-iary committee, C ebruarv 7. 1873, to double the b ay of the President and increase s he salaries of the Vice President, t Jabinct, Speaker, justices of the upreme Court and members of a oingress. This scheme had been horoughly canvassed, and only fi waited a favorable chance to be r iunched. Three days later Gen. t lutler moved to suspend the rules b o as to-attacb this bill as a 'rider' o o the miscellaneous appropriation b ill then pending. It was beaten y thirty-nine majority, wbich in luded some of the strongest friends f the proposed plunder, who oted that way for effect. The rst fire was thus drawn, and But- a ,r knew where to plant his bat- t< 3rles. e The legislative appropriation bill t, ime back to the House February 3< I loaded with one hundred rnendments. The natural course ti -as to have had them printed, si ) that members might examine o ie new items. But there was a is awe to play, and Garfield took b e lead. By virtue of his chair ianship, he moved that the [use resolve itself into com- tl iittee of the whole on the special Crg rder. Suspicion had been awak ned, and adjournent had been oted down previously. Dawes as put in the chair, and the door as opened for the grab. Garfield C( ad assured members that the bill 'ould not be called up that night, H ad the House was thin except on 2e stealing side, which was in ]e secret of Garfield's treachery. fa . special vote was demanded on s 2e Butler amendment, now t ioved as a 'rider' to the pending s ill. It was defeated by fifty-two h ajority, Butler himself voting g gainst. it. But be immediately p oved to reconsider and to ad- t >:n. Nothing was now want- b g to rivet the vote but to refuse t o adjoura and then to clinch it by e efusing to reconsider. The issue s ,as clear, but right in the face of be large majority just recorded be House adjourned by a still 0 ~rger majorit.y, leaving the re onsideration alive and kicking. - bhe next day Butler's motion to 1 econsider was first in order-, and c hen Farnsworth moved to lay it ' n the table and finish the busi ess a majority of thirty-nine an- r wered in the negative. f C -THE DE GoLYER FRAUD.. The next vote fixed the Con ressional pay, and the bill, with is graft, was sent to the Senate, nd thence to a committee of con ~rence. On the last day of the ession Garfield reported the bill ack, doubling the President's C lary from the 4th of March, e steaded of the end of the fiscal ear, and raising the pay of Con-e ress from $5,000 to $7,500, re ractively for two years, with a t >ng catalogue of augmented sala-b ies for public officers. lie pre- b ended that there was danger of n extra session unless tue report b Tas. adopted and told the House, t tmay be an unwise expenditure t 2 some respects, but in most ases the increase is proper and ught to be made.' It was fin-ally a riven through by a majority of ix. Garfield's connection with the Vashington ring is also well nown to the country. One of x he most notorious of the corruplt 5, ontracts made by Boss Shepherd ~ as that awarded to DeGolyer & h iClellan, of Chicago, for- laying ti wood pavement. This contract c overed 200,000 yards at $3.50 aT ard. which the superintendent of ontractors swore could be putT ownat $1.50, every item of cost in luded. So there was a cleand rofit of $400,000 to be divided. To b rther this job, which was pre minary to others to follow, the u of $97,000 was expended. It ras given out in the spring of~ 872. At that time Richard C. arsons was marshal of the Su reme Court, and had con verted i bat office into a headquarters for rt4 be lobby. Ho was known to be I intimate friend of Garfield, and be ring wanted Garfield's aid as ti hairman of the appropriations. The agent of the contractors mployed Parsons, with a fee f $15,000 as 'counsel,' although w here was no cause to argu e, ro ir ntm:t of any kind, and no tri- np unal to appear before. It was a bam to throw dust in the eyes of be public. PARSONS PAID GARFIELD S5,000 s his share, July 12, 1872, for 'hich he was forced to admit be )re the last investigatu.n that he iude no argument, oral >r writ mn, had never appeared be fore the oard of public works, nd had nly. once spoken to Bo. s Shop erd on the subject. ThA.'fee' 'as a bribe out and out, and othing else, as was subsequen.y : own. Garfield became the agent [ the ring, and through his in uence and activity three millions nd half of dollars wero voted > Boss Shepherd and his confed rates in less than sixty days, be veen the Sth of January and the of March, 1873. It would be easy to continue is discreditable record, and to iow that in almost every instance venal legislation Garfield's name to be found on the side of rob ery, stealing and fraud. These ,cts cannot be disputed, and' they ill stand to his diobonor, whe ier the remains in public life or oes into enforced exile.

If, to secure the removal of an fdcer, it is necessary to establish be actual commission of a crime y proofs demanded in a court of 1stice, then it is clear that the ase against Mr. Arthur is not lade out, especially if his answer held to be conclusive, wiLhou!t eference to the proofs on the ublic records and tendered to the ommittee and the Senate.

WINGARD. Wikoff in his reminiscences says : "I was not long in discovering that Lady Bulwer was a most gifted wo man, of rare grasp and. brilliancy of mind, and thoroughly good.hearted as well; but her nature was impulsive ani ardent, and she gave herself up without reserve to the dominant thought or passion of the moment.
