"MACK,"
of the St. Louis Democrat,
now a rampant Grantite, was in attendance at the Louisville Conveution, and the following incident is said to have taken place between bim and the defunct Duncan "During the struggle over the nomination for the Vice Presidency, McCullagb, of the St. Louis Democrat, who was in the room, and who was deeply interested in the success of Grant in Indiana, engineered pretty warmly for Edgerton. Col. Duncan observed the shrewd, wiry logroller at work, ana being in favor of x\dams, went over to McCullagh. "Mack," said he, "TOU are not a delegate and if you don't quit interfering, I will call the attention of the convention to the i*£icfc •'But I want to help Grant in Indiana," persisted Mack. "This is not a Grant convention," said the Colonel.
Mack looked up in bis face with a sort of quizzical smile, and said in a confidential tone "Pshaw, now, Colonel, what's the useof talking that way to me. That's too thin. The Convention is either for Grant or Groeley, and you know you are not for reeley. It'll do to tell outsiders, but it won't do to talk to an old stager like me."
C'olonol Duncan looked at him for a moment with "speculation in his eyes" and walkod off, not too soon, however, to near Mack's parting shot: "Grant pays for this thing, and he has a right to be considered." "Mack" is an old soldier in politics and could not be deceived Ui regard to who was running that "mlecheene." "Grant paid for it, and he hid a right to be considered." And he is "considered" to his full value by the people.

THE
is a nice little extract from a
comparatively late speech made by Senator Wilson. It is his temperance speech at Worcester, October 23,1867 "He (Mr. Wilson) alluded to the great amount of drinking done by our foreignborn citizens, especially the Irish and Germans—the first class drinking the vilest whisky, and the latter^ using lager beer, which made them a stupid race."
That is exceedingly complimentary to the Germans, to be told that they area "stupid race." We think he will find that few Germans will be stupid enough to vote for him.
New York Tribune says as follows,
in relation to a matter, which numerous documents on our desk exactly confirm. Will the people uphold these corrupt officers, who thus#violate the positive statute with such brazen impunity?
Notwithstanding the discovery and exposure of the ielonious fraud, the wholesale forgery of franks still goes on at Washington, and the mails are burdened with Grant and Wilson documents bearing the name of this or that member of Congress in a great variety of handwriting. Here is a gentleman in a neighboring State who sends us seven envelopes received by him, all purporting to be franked by J. M. Piatt, M. C. Now either Mr. Piatt never signs his name twice alike or somebody has been taking that name in vain. Has he in defiance of law authorized attorneys to do this kind of work for him, or has some Grant committeeman been doing it without authority

PHILADELPHIA,

The revelations contained in the sworn testimony accompanying this need no explanatory introduction. It is the most damaging exhibition of official and private villainy and corruption ever laid bare to the gaze of the world. The Vice President of the United States, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the chosen candidate of a great party for the second highest office in the gilt of the people, the Chairman of almost every important committee in the House of Representatives—all of them are proven, by irrefutable evidence, to have been bribed. Surely, after this exposure, no man who has any respect for the honor of his country—any love for our institutions—will by his vote aid to maintain these men in place and power. If there was room for a doubt in this case, I for one would be in favor of giving these men the benefit of it, for it is almost beyond belief that our public men could have fallen so low. But there is no escaping the conclusion that they are guilty.
The public has long known, in a vague sort of way, that the Union Pacific Railroad was a gigantic steal. The subsidies in bonds alone given it by the Government were sufficient to build" and equip the road. Yet, in addition to this, Congress passed an act allowing the company to issue first morfgage bonds, and compelling the Government to accept a second mortgage as security for the millions of bonds guaranteed by it. Nor was this all. Tens of millions of acres of the public domain were thrown in as another nice bequest to this corporation. The evidence printed below shows into whose hands all this plunder fell, how it enriched a favored few, who still continue to grow richer and richer as the valuable lands lying along the line of the road are thrown upon the market.
A half-dozen men, by buying up the Pennsylvania corporation known as the Pennsylvania Fiscal Agency, and changing its name to the Credit Mobilier^ of America, got control of the Union Pacific Railroad, and made millions upon millions of dollars in building and equiping it. They still control it, and, as Mr, McCombs says below, the stockholders outside the Credit Mobilier of America "have not and never will receive a cent of dividend." The history of the suit, which is the means of giving this exposure to the public, is somewhat curious It seems that Henry S. McCombs, who has filed a bill in equity in the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania against the Credit Mobilier, was one of the original corporators of the Union Pacific Railroad Company, as well as one of the favored few who got into the inside ring. He was an active manipulator of both the railroad company and the Credit Mobilier and as will be seen by his testimony, he made piles of money out of both. But some of his good friends, it seems, were not willing that he should have all that rightfully belonged to him. He had subscribed for 250 shares—$250,000 worth—of the stock of the Credit Mobilier of America for one H. G. Fant, then of Richmond, Virginia, now of Washington, D. C. He gave his draft on Fant to the treasurer of the company in payment of his stock, but Fant failed to honor the draft, and thus thj^w the load on McCombs. Mr. McCombs knew there was a big thing in it, ftnd he bad the cash to spare, so he agreed to take Fant's stock. But there was some difficulty at that time about an imperfect power of attorney from ®Btnt, and when that was corrected tfcfe President was out West and there were no certificates signed. Before the President returned he had been deposed by another faction headed by Ames, and the stock had become so valuable that they determined to cheat McCombs out of his stock. He demauded it time and again, but the Ames faction would not let him have it. He then threatened to bring suit. This made them tremble and promise fair, but never brought them to terms. They explained to him that it had been necessary to use all of his two hundred and fifty shares, and a great deal more, to keep certain members of Congress right, and told him that he had been benefitted thereby, and ought to bear his proportion of the loss. This explanation seems only to have increased
McCombs' determination to force them to settle with him. He had adroitly drawn two letters and several verbal statements from Oakes Ames, explaining how he had distributed the stock among the prominent members of Congress, and he determined to use this information to bring Ames and his faction, who are still controlling the company, to terms. Accordingly, in 1869, he filed his bill iu equity in the Supreme Courtof Pennsylvania. [The only portion of this testimony for which we have room is the following
Question—Turn to the first pages in that book in relation to transactions with the Union Pacific Railroad stock? Answer—That is on page 136, which has been already produced and referred to, nor are there any other entries in this book in regard to the Union Pacific Railroad Company's stock other than those produced and referred to.
WHERE ARE THE LETTERS? Question—On a former day of your examination you referred to a letter or letters written by Oakes Ames. I have never seen either of those letters or any such letter. I have been shown a letter purporting to be a copy of one. Have you got those letters here Answer— They will be here in a few minutes. My clerk has them and had positive orders to be on the train with them, and is due here now. He will be here in a few minutes. He missed the first train and will be here on the next, which is now due.

A NEW EPOCH IN THE TRADE!
Retirement from the Retail Dry Goods Business
OF ONE OF THE
OLDEST AND LARGEST HOUSES IN THE CITY!
We, in common with most of our citizens, have recently been surprised by the
decision of Messrs. Tuell, Ripley & Deming to go out of the retail trade in order to
engage exclusively in the wholesale dry goods business. The retirement from the
retail trade of this old-established and successful Arm
Will Place New Responsibilities Upon Us.
We accept them cheerfully. This community have always found us ready to
extend our business and to add new attractions to our establishment as rapidly as
the necessities of the town have required. In fact, we have always felt disposed to
keep in advance of the actual requirements of the situation, for we are not of the number of those "doubting Thomases" who prognosticate a snail's pace growtli for
our city. We believe iu Terre Haute and in her destiny. We place no bounds for
her future growth and greatness. Her enterprise is marvelous, her opportunities
unmeasured. So if we are ahead of her actual requirements to-day, we know that we will not be to morrow. We have some grand projects in our head, to be worked
out among you in the future. Every month of every year we shall seek to add
something to the attractiveness and completeness of our establishment, until we shall be able to present t« our citizens the most inviting, extensive and thorough
metropolitan dry goods store to be found iu the State. As Messrs. Tuell, Ripley & Deming have decided to retire from the retail trade,
we especially invite any of their former customers to make their purchases of us in
the future, promising them pleasant and honorable treatment, and the lowest

AT THE HEAD OF THE CARPET TRADE!
WE PROPOSE TO KEEP THE LEAD!
We shall do it by offering to the public only well known brands of Carpets, ^nd by always representing our goods to be just what they are. As we shall keep no makes of Carpets to which the manufacturers are ashamed to put their names, it will never become necessary for us to dub any of them "Finger Looms" or "Family Frauds."
