PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 15, 1873.
MY'DEAK Snc—From the beWhirtfif of the investigation CQnoerningSlr. use of the Credit Mobilier, I belfefed thit General Garfield was free from all "guilty connection with that business. This opinion was founded not merely on my confidence in his integrity, but on some special knowledge of his case. I may have told you all about it in my conversation but I desire now to repeat it by way of reminder.
I assert unhesitatingly that, whatever General Garfield maynave done, or forborne to do, he acted in profound ign ranee of the nature and character of the thing which Mr. Ames was proposing to sell. He had not the slightest suspicion that he was to be taken into a ring,organ ized for the purpose of defrauding the public, nor did he know that the stock was in any way connected with anything which came or could come within the legislative jurisdiction of Congress. The case against him lacks the ttienitr,
which
alone constitutes guilt. In the winter or 1809-70 I told General Garfield of the fact that his name was on Ames' list that Ames charged him with being one of his distributees explained to him the character, origin and objects of the Credit Mobilier pointed out the connoction it had with Congressional legislation, and shewed him how Impossi ble it was for a member of Congress to hold stock in it without bringing his private interest in conflict with his public duty. That all this was to him a perfect ly new revelation I am sure as I can be of such a fact, or of any fact which is capa ble of beinirproved only by moral circum stances. lie told me then the whole story of Train's offer to him and Ame's subsequent solicitation and bis own action in the premises much as he de tails it to the committee. I do not undertake to reproduce the conversation, but the effect of it all was to convince me thoroughly that when he listened to Ames he was perfectly unconscious of anything evil. I watched carefully every word that fell from him on this point, and did not regard his narrative of the transaction in any other resDcct with much interest, be cause in my view cverj'tliing else-was in significant. I did not care whether he made a bargain technically binding or not his integrity depended upon the question whetner he acted with his eyes open. If he had known the true charac ter of the proposition made to him, lie would not have endnrc braced it.
endnred it, much less em-
Now, couple this with Mr. Ames'admission that he gave ho explanation whatever of the' mntter to General Garfield, theh reflect that not a particle of proof exists to show that he learned anything about it previous to his conversation with me and I think you will say that it is altogether unjust to put him on the list of fchode who knowingly and willingly joined thefraud ulent association in question.
J. S. BLACK.
HON. J. G. BLAINK, Speaker House of Representatves.
THE recent action of the Supreme Court on the amendments, has agaih demonstrated the fact, that the Democratic party was never known to be with the majority of the people in anything! The Democratic party couldn't do the square thing if they would try. It is composed entire ly of negations and minorities, and is always on the wrong side of every ques tion.
THE action of our Supreme Court in thoamendment businoss has caused universal disgust throughout the State, not only anlong Republicans, but among Demo crats. 8peaking of the minority opinion, the Vincennes Commercial says: "Judges Niblatik and Scott deserve well of our people all over the State for their fairness in the matter of decision in the constitutional amendment business. Hon. W. E. Niblack is as free from party bias in the discharge of hit official duties as it is possible fpr any man to be, He is one of the fairest minded and purest judges in the country anywhere."
THIS is the kind of a law to liave, and we commend its wisdom to the aspiring young candidates for Representative from Vigo county as a good thing It is an act of the English Parliament passed in 1770 "All women, of whatever age, rank or profession, whether virgins, maids orwidows, who shall, after this act, impose upon, seduce and betray into matrimony any of his majesty's 8ubject's. by "virtue of scents, paints, cosmetics, washes, artificial teeth, Spanish wool, iron .stays, bolstered hips, or high-heeled shoes, shall lucur the penalty of the law now in force against witchcraft and like misdemeanors, and the marriage under such circumstances, upon conviction of the offending party, shall be null and void."
As the weather grows warmer, we approach the great Democratic powwow at Cincinnati. Just where the Democratic lightning will strike, no one can foretell, as tho New York delegation, now that Tilden and Seymour are out, are as uncertain as ekn be. Hendricks, who was a pfomisiug personage for Presidential honors, is now virtually laid on the shelf by the action of these two great chieftains. The indications arc that Bayard will be the Eastern choice, and Joe McDonald the dark horse driven by the Western delegates. There is no such enthusiasm In the Democratic ranks as was manifested at the Republican Nation*! Convention, and the probabilities are that the matter will be completely untied In one day.
TENACITY orl-IFEIN BEETUL—A COR^ respondent of Notes ami Queries gives the following instance of a beetle's tenacity of life: A relative of mine, while cutting a loaf of bread, found imbedded in it a beetle. A small portion of the loaf with the beetle in it was cot oat entire, and, after a lapse of abont five minutes the beetle began to crawl out apparently none the worse fdr its incarceration, It is*,pf coarse, well known that beetles are fond, of warmth, bat I should not have thought that one wouid have so comfortably survived some horns spent in a living tomb, escapii^f kbe danger of being crushed to death in tbemd»ngof the bwatl. And |v the risk of being killed either by suffocation or Ute heat of the oven.
TBSBB has been some talk about the foune Republicans not supporting the entire ticket as nominated last Saturday. To this report, the young men in meeting assembled passed the following resolution:
Ruolttd, That this Club will give its earn est'Bttpport to ^every candidate op thfe Republican county ticket.
This action On the part of the yoan nipfij puts a quietus forever to the Democratic rumors in^attempting on sow disco ttl and bring about schisms in the rank and file of tho grand old party that has already accomplished so much, and has so much in the future still to accomplish Alt Democratic canards to the effect that there are defections in the Republican party, is done wholly to arouse a feeling of jealousy among the members of that party, hoping thereby to create a quarrel by which the Democrats themselves may be benefitted. We advise the members of the grand old party to stand^firm and allow no personal quarrels to affect the splendid organization which we have at this time. We must remember that success depends upon a concentration of power, and every man should do his duty, irrespective of what is expected from his comrade in amis. We )iave no material to spare we want to enlist as many new recruits as possible, and administer to the hungering few, that they may be strengthened and invited to proceed on the way to a grand and glorious result. Asperity is the poisonous drug that engenders defeat.
Show us a man who is always sore and sour at everybody and everything, and we will show you a man who has personal ends to serve, rather than a public wellwisher. Good men seek office. Office should seek good men. Consequently, when good men are defeated, there is nothing in it that should detract from, or lessen the esteem of tlie fellow man who is more lucky. Any individual who risks his political fate in the hands of the people, has no just ground for complaint. Politics is a science, and one can only learn by experience and study. A student of one day, is not as well versed as a student of a year. This should be understood and each and evfiry individual should bear in tnind the fact that the "golden rule" applies in politics as well as in all things else.
THE Hendricks fellows at Cincinnati have become afraid that there is a small boo.m being created in favor of McDonald. To stand the press of this movement, the Indiana delegation passed tlie following resolutions, which were signed by every man in the delegation,:
WIIEUEAS, This delegation has learned that efforts have been.and arc being made to divert public attention from the fact that the Democracy of Indiana is a unit for Thomas A. Hendricks for President and
WHEREAS, The name of Senator Mc Donald has been and.is still being used in connection with that nomination without any agency on his part, and against his reiterated protest, he being the unquali fled friend.and advocate of Mr. Hendricks for the high position for which the Democracy of Indiana lias unanimously designated him therefore, be it
R»mhed, That we, the delegates of Indiana to the National convention, in ac cordance with the unanimous instructions of the Democratic State convention of Indiana, do hereby emphatically declare that we will adhere and stand by Mr. Hendricks as our candidate for President, and will steadfastly reiect any and all suggestions or proposals as to the use of of the nahie of any other citizen of Indi ana for that office and further, that we ill steadfastly reject any suggestion or proposal for the use of the name of any citizen of Indiana for the office of Vice President.

Could he Play Billiards! He was a quiet-looking old man and he walked quietly into a Main street billiard room, just "to while away a few moments," as lie afterward remarked. Stating himself near a table where several young gentlemen were amusing themselves he ventured one or two suggestions about the shots, and wagered and lost fifty cents, the result of a difficult point. "Could he play lillards?" "Well no, not very well still he used to handle a cue pretty well."
Would he play a game?" "Well, yes, ust for fun, you know, and to pass the time." «4
He played and lost, paying for the drinks and giving his opponent the doltr which hud been wagered on tlie result. "Would he play another game?" "He didn't care. Would he wager three doldarsf Didn't like to, but would, just for the fun of the thing.
He had been beaten easily before. The young man thought him an old gentleman with money to spare, who was out seeing life.
Would he wuger with others? He didn't care., Thirty dollars in small bets were finally wag&red. The elder man quietly remarket!, with a quaint smile, tnat he thought he should have to do better this time, I should smile, answered his jnintv opponent, as htf made the first shot and lost it. The elder man quietly handled his cue until be got the balls into a corner, and then ran the gameont. Battoning np his coat and pocketing his gains, he was about to depart, when the young gentleman insisted that he was a fraud, and wanted his money back. The old gentleman quietly said there was a mistake—be liad only come in to see
litem play, and then walked oatotcr Democrat.
