ISO1, as oiy diary for that year show, 1
called opou lion. Oukes Ames, oOlassa-chuactt-s.
Tho first call was with a note
of tutriduotiou from cither lion. "
Washburn or Hon. F. E. Woodbi i.lge, I
do not remember which. The second
,;,, I met Mr. Ames I had a letter iron
Major General V catch, of Indiana, which
1 read to him. I met Mr. Ames near the
door of tlio Speaker room, ou the right
as you face it. Ho was talking with a
pcntleman on New Orleaus matter... 1
stood near him to claim his attention next,
and without paying any attention to the
l onvsrsation, couia uoi neip unuum.u.m
ing ftOQiCthiiig of its purpoit. Mr. Ames
remarked to me bo would be out directly,
und went into tho houso and soon camo
back with a check in his band, and paying
to rue, "Now, then," walked along to the
Sergcant-at-Anns' desk. I walked by bis
ride ond was stating my case. Some one
was drawing money at. the desk of the
Sergeant -at-Arms at the time, or getting
eome changed, and we stood in tho room
and I read tho letter of Gen. Vcateh
which so strongly vouched for the loyalty
of mv clients. While we wcro talking,
after the reading, 1 noticed tho check in
Mr. Anie's hand, because he was all the
limb looking at it, seemingly, over the
top of his glassci. I remember very dis
tinctly that it was drawn to "S. 0., or
bearer," and was $1,200. I know I
thounht to mvsolf, "'Who the dickens is
S. C. or bearer ?" Ihis check was tlieu
and there cashed at the do?k of tho Ser-ncant-at-Arms,
and I well re iiemcmber
one $500 bill ond several $100 bills.
Walking back-to the geutlcman he bad
first been talking to, Mr. Ames handed
him this money and received Rome kind of
' a written document jnjrcturn I.ncvcr
frauds. The first information I had of
the "S. C. or bearer 1,200" was at the
American Legation at Palis. I remem
bered then this tirctinistance of the check,
and told Mr. Washburne, our Minister
at that time, that I knew Colfax never
got the money, and that I thought I knew
who did. 1 also informed Mr. Fredrick
lilossom, of Now York, who was for some
time mj traveling companion. lie gug
pested lhad better telegraph you or Col
fax, but the dislike 1 f'olt to becoming in
any way mixed up in tho Credit Mobiher
feanclal, together with the need of spend
ing my time in tho investigations into wine
importation frauds, which investigations
1 was making in the interest of our Gov
ernment, induced me to keep silent, think
ing I should be home before Conarcss ad
joumcd.
On my return to Washington, Congress
bad adjourned. I conferred with Mr.
II. C.vBliss, my law partner, Mr. A. H.
Uyington of Connecticut, and a few oth
er friends, asking them to keep tho mat
ter a socret until I had time to see if I
could not trace out the man to whom I
faw Ames pay the proceeds of tho "S. C.
or bearer" check.
As I had ohnrgo of the Rub Roy judg
ment againstA.fi. Mansfield, OatesAines
tt at., 1 had occasion to call on Mr. Ames
in April last, and 1 related to him the
circumstance of tho check, and asked him
the circumstances of the check, and usked
him who tho man was to whom ho then
paid the money. His reply was in sub
stance that it was none of my business,
and I assented to the correctness of bis
views. Previous to tho death of Mr.
Ames, and since, Mr. Colfax, to whom
Mr. Byiugton, against my request, hed
imparted this information, has urgod me
io make a full statement of the casa for
the press, ,
After thiuking over the matter for some
time, I have concluded to send toycu. tho
Chairman of the Committee of Investiga
tion, this statement of facts, that you may
use it as you may deem most jus t to M r
Colfax, whom it alone affects.

qualifications considerable pol.tical ac

employed lias iuOuential legal talent, and
that tbey had aome de.ign in retaining
capable and suitable men, which, if the
committee had bed more lime and ability,
thev would bavo been glad to discover
and report. Iu default of being ablo to
find any corruption, however, cither on
tho port of tho gentlemen retained by the
trustees or on the part or tho trustees
themselves, they sontent themselves with
warning the managers not do so again,
or, if they must employ lawyers, retain
those stupid members of tie legel perMia
sion. ttho to their disabled vitality unite
no considerable political activity or iuHu-
enee.
Tho scconed charge was,
that
certain
had been orcauized to run
in connecuon uu m """""
and involved corrupt practices to a large
extent."
The committee find "that the Vermont
Central did not have cars enough to meet
the demands of ts busiues and that they
bad no funds to use in tho construction of
cars," aud that tt did procure ond biro of
certain companies sufficient rolling stock
to moot their necessities, and that all tho
connecting lines paid tho same rates that
the Central did for tho uso of tho cars,
anu "tnai mo luierisia m ni '""
l,n.n Virttnr served in consequence of the
employment of these cars, ond tlut the
Central has carried more freight than it
otherwise would have done, and that tho
trust fund had not Wen defrauded in con
sequence of theso companies." Still, in
pnn.idctatiftu.jof the "ligbilitx.tQ-abufe
question the policy" of such companies.
Wc venture to ask the committee whether
there is anything 'inlie nature of things"
that would make it dangerous for a com
mon carrier who has a larger business
than ho can do with his own teams, to
hire tho necessary means of transporta
tion from another firm in which ho in a
partner, Cfpccially if he pays them a just
perquisite for the work. How docs it
militate against "public policy" to serve
"the public interest?"
Tho committee were next authorized to
hunt for "frauds and poculatioiis."though
no chargo of cither was made.
They first investigated the Foundry
Company. This has furnished the wheel
ond ether castings W the use of tho Cen
tral road. The report completely exon
erates tho mauogcrs from any unfair or
fraudulent use of their powers in respect
to this company. Tho statement of their
report is ample aud satisfuclorv, and tbey
conclued with tho significant fact "that
an admsory committee elected by ballot by
the hoxtdlioldcrt apprortd of this cunlract
and of all other contracts made by the
trustees and managers." The public will
be at loss to understand why tho parties
who have heretofore approved of tho con
tracts and actions of the managers should
now controvert this policy. This state
ment shows the reason why the sccuritiy
holdors of the Vcrmout Central and tho
Vermont & Canada roads have no just
cause of complaint against tho Trastees,
It may a so explain the action of tho
Court in many cases, iti carrying out ju
dicially the plans In which all the ' partios
in mtcrst were perfoctly agreed. It re
lieves alike the managers and tho Court
from the charges which have been so ig.
norantly and recklessly hurled at them.
Tho committee next find that there "is
no evidence to show that the secret ser
vice fund was corruptly used." They
might well have left the matter here with
oul tho unprofesiional and needless sug
gestion that they could . not tell what
frauds an ampler investigation might have
revealed. It can hardly be tho duty of
a legislative committee fo state that while
thoir cxamiations, so far a Jhey have
gone, discloso no corruption, perhaps, if
they had investigated the matter more
fully, tbey would have discovered it. It
certainly is far below their dignity and
contrary to all propriety to make a sug
gestion of possible fraud, where they ex
prcssly testify to finding none whatever. It
is this feature of the report that makes it
a very remarkable document. The com
mittee seems to be compelled' by all the
testimony to acquit the managers of all
the diargcs, and yet display a continual
uh.rrw-
prooiiM paper.

ment than for the formal opinion of a leg

What the committeo say about the ju

avoid its responsibility in the matter of
this corporation.
Tho caro and direction of tin. great
trust was inevitably placed in its hands.
It becamo a ward in chancery as a bank
rupt, and tho court has simply dono tho
duty imposed upon it faithfully and hon
orably, ai d protected all tho interests
which tho laws of tho State aud tho com
mon law have confided to it.- And in no

wishes, when it eould lawrully meet tueni,
of all the parties and interests represuntcd
in the trust. Tho sun ncvor shono upon
a more honest ond pure judiciary, or upon

under all cireumstauces, to make this
most obvious and satisfactory. Watch-

Terrible Death of an Aeronaut.
A letter from Iouia, Mich., give, tho
following details ol the death of La Moun
tain, the aeronaut, who made an ascensiou
at that place on tho Fourth : When ful
a hogshead, tho balloon slipped between
tho ropes and was idstantly inverted
Tho car and its occupant dropped like a
shot, with most terrific velocity, the un
fortunato man clinging to tho basket
That he was const ions was evident from
his struggles. Ho struggled to raiso the
basket above him, evidently intending to
uso it as a parachute. Ho succeeded in
hi. object, but when about 1 00 feet big'
he loosed his bold, folded his hands and
arms beforo his face, and his feet first
struck the ground with a dull, heavy thud
Then ensued a panic and uproar in the
crowded multiiudc. Women fainted
strong men wept und thu canvass came
flying over tho crowd liko a hugo bird
Somo ono cried out to get out of the way
or it would full with crushing force. TIicd
the cry was taken up uud, a gonorul
rush made for safety, iu which many were
more or less injured. La Mountain was
crushed into a literal pulp. Medical ex
amination discovered tho fact that hardly
a whole bone was left. Many were ground
and gpliutercd to powder. His jaw full
on hi. arms, and were pulverized. The
corpse was laid out and placed in the pub'
lie square, where it was viewed by thous
ands during the ofternoon, and sent to hit)
home at Brooklyn, Mich., the following
day.
The balloonist wos known as EJward
La Mountain not the successful aeronaut
of that name, who made the memorial
voyage from St. Louis to New York State,
in company with Professor John Wiso, in
1859. The latter died from natural caus
es six years ago. The accident was duo
to the use of a hot-air balloon, which Was
long ago discarded by all practical aero
oaunts, und to the fact that the netting
did not properly cover the canvas; so tho
balloon actually slipped out from the iu
closure of the ropes, and of courso precip
toted tho car and its rocklcss passenger to
tho ground.
The dashing to death of La Moun
tain, recalls tho fact that three years ago
another aeronaut, also called La Moun-'
tain, porishod in a nearly similar manner,
and not a hundred miles from the same
place. This was iu 1870. at South Bend,
Ind. ; aw inpatient crowd oast him off be
fore he was quite ready, with the valve
rope tied several feet above his head ; the
balloon shot into a cloud of mint and elect,
which froze the valve-hoard fust. The
intrepid voyager climed tho net-work and
toro open the balloon with his teeth. The!
balloon pol lapsed and fell, and the aero
naut wa frightfully mangled,

und wha Tva. a passongor ' on board the
wrecked steamship, bag- made a statement
which goes to coufirm tho original impres
sion that tha cause of the disaster was tho
gross negligence and inconipotaneo of tho
officer. ' ;
Tho vessel left Liverpool, Juno 24th,
and oo the 29th cot into a donso foe which

After three or four days of the fog, it bo
camo apparent that the officer did mi
know where the vessel was. A passen

ed that a southerly course should be tak
en, in order to get out of the fog and in
to tho Gulf Stream, where observations
oould be taken ; but the advice was treat
ed as impertinence and ignored. On the
morning of the day that the vessel struck,
seaweed wa. pointed out to ono of the of
ficers, a indicating that land must be
near. But tho offioer knew belter, and
said that the seaweed indicated that tho
vessol was iu the Gulf Stream. Kvery
oompass on board indicated a course N. N.
W. since tho Vessel loft Queenstown, ex
oept one day when it was nearly due
west. In this oondition, and rnnning ten
mile an hour through a thick fog, tho
vessel struck. Colonel Parnoll further
assorts that the crew, after the disaster,
