Evory opporiumity given to o miiness to oxplain or modify what he has erid beforo, only yooms to amplify tho dlecropancios and moko confuslon worso confoundod. Oalkes Ames, with bLis reatored momory, aud with memorandum book in hand, instend of bolog sppealed to by Congrossmon and Senators for proteotion and concoalment, s now donounced by thess honor- ablo reoiplonts of Crodit Mobilior stock as & liar, » porjuror, and & ecoundrol, Ames snys ho I8 now telling tho truth, and that - his assertions aro fortified by proof, as strong a8 tho hmdm‘mnf of . tho gentlomon involvod. Tho only question now weoms to bo, is Oalos Amos tolling the trath ln thls scond attomps 7 It Is concodod that if ho is, the original lisf of Songrossions!._rciplonts "ot “Grodic “iaior stock, as furnished by M’Comb, ia subntantialty, if not litorally, corroct ; and furthor, that all th3 statomanta horotoforo mado, possibiy with the oxception of Nelson and Alllson, nre falso from lmglunln% to ond. It i8 to be borno in mind, that Ames’ testimony is mow boing given on tha blagls of written documonts, chocks, and vouchers, and that if bis contradiction of tho statomonts slroady mado by Congrossmen and Senators sre falao, then hig momoranda aro falso and forged. It would scom during tho long session of 1808, Amos do- asifed 810,000 with' the Sergoant-ab Arms, for ho express purposo of drawing cheols thoreon, to. pay tho dividends on tho Credit Mobilior stock, which ho hold for Congrossmon, Ho staton tho smounts ho drow for ecach, .and tho chacks and books in the Bergennt-nt-Arms’ ofiico corroborato tho stntement. Tho weal point in his evidenoo was ho did not produce his origs inal momorands, but instend tho statoments of accounts drawn from those, in which tho trana- actions with the mombors was_sot down, in half shagxttu of paper,. under the hoads of dobt and crodit, Ames hogen his statomont to-day with an nc- count of his dealings with Colfax, who agroed to tako twonty shares of Crodit Mobllior stock. Ho Esm 1o cash. In Fobruary Ames recoived tho per oont dividend on the first morty afin Unlon Pacific bonds, sold them, and .credited Colfax with the proceods, On March 5, of 1808, Colfax paid him tho balanco due for tho pur- chaso monoy in the shares, in & check on the Sorgesnt-at-Arma for 8644 In tha followin Junio, Amos paid him o cash dividond. of S1,205 by a checl on tho Borgoant-nt-Arms. ITo novor handad him tho stock " dividonds declared, but still hold thom, awaiting the resultsa of tho WComwb suit. Ho considered thom and the twonty sharos of Oredit Mobilior stock to be still Colfax'. proporty. Colfax had novor paid backtho §1,200. r. Colfax’ eross-oxamination of tho ubove statomonts by Ames was a fearful {niluro, anp ureated the unanimous impression that it had bottor not havo boon attemptod. Ilo tried hard to mske Ames admit that Lio had not paid him tho $1,200, but Amus was atubborn an & mulo on this point, Finally, after finding all lis offorts in this direction & failure, Colfax asked him why ho had not mode this atatomont in tho firat Instanco, To this Amos coolly roplied, "1 had not my memoranda." In this peculiar phaso of the sxamination Colfax porsistod in n manner compoundod of n;i‘nmon, oxcitemont, and embarrassment, but to all queries on this point, Amog would respond in s mannor to show ho did not feol at lberty to toll all ho know on the oc- casions reforred to. In his own behalf, Colfax norvously nsserted that Lio had nover received the 31,200 dividend. Between Bonator-olect Allison’s Ionnmtxxly and thint of Amos’, thoro ia this discropancy : Allison clajms to bave roturned his stock in Iobruarys 1869, Amos s not confldent on tho point of timo, but ho thinks Allison did nob return it until Intor. In tho main, Allison's testimony subslantiates the stalomont made in thia de* sfintch somo timo siuco as to his couneotion with tho affair. Ho recolved no dividonds. As to Spoakor Dloino, Ames complotely oxon - ornted him from any conncotion with tho Credit Mobilier. Dawos, ho eaid, lm\lglll and paid for tenshares, and rocoived about 10 per cont there- on ng an {nvostmont. Garflold agrood to toko ten hares of tho stock, The firet two dlvidends paid for tho sharos, and left n balanco of 9929, which Ames eaid fio paid him in 1868, Tuaf endod the transaction, and thore wore no moro paymonts and uo turthor conversation about the affair until this winter, whon Carflield told him ho thought it was 5 lonn, and not o dividend, which he Teceived. Ames' recolloction was positive that it wns a dividend, an V supposed that Garfield undorstood it ns nuoh when ho took the cheok forthe money, Garflold hiad nover paid it back. XKolley's cano, Amo3 continued, was idontionl with Garfield’s, tho gsmo numbor of shares boin, bargained for, and there was tho samo pa; man‘i of ®92). In Juno, 1868, Scofield took ton slinres, bub pald Lhy cost for thom. Ho got frightoned at the samo timo Dawos did, and Amos sottlod with Lim, talng tho atock oft bis hands. Bo faras Bingham s concorned, Ames claims to have pald him £800 more than ho sworo to having yoceived. J, F, Wilson's provious atatements, also, ho admitted to bo correct, Boutwoll talked of toling tho stock, but did not. Fowler, of Tennotsoo, and DBayard, of Dolawaro, did nottake it. The above is the subatanco of Ames’ atatomonts to-duy, rs glven with tho new light afforded by his restored memory, and his renowed motoranda. Al tho conclusion lio was ssked what becamo of the romaindor of the 813 #haros which wore glvon him for distribution, Thewo, he snid, wore sold to E‘nrdun not connectod with Con- T o any officials " ho was asked. ' No, efr,’ he repliad, “and I don't thivk I will aver eny atook to membors of Cone grass or ofticlals agalu.” Amos did not give his teatimony vory willingly, Tho most of tho time ho ent in dofeoted mannor, with his oyes fixed an the tablo, as if b was fu(ng through an or- doal that was anything but agreenble, Onco in 8 whilo, howover; whon ho was closely pressed by tho Comunitice on & material point, ho wonld throw o humorous remark that would ot the room i o voar of laughter, The Commitico ad- Journed until Friday night, "Tho commont on ‘Amos' testimony of to-day Is 'yory sovare, aspeclally from thosa Cangrossmon implicatod, Kelloy vays ho s n Har, whils it i atutod that Colfax ha# no meagure t6 his indig- nation, It must bo confossed that tho evidouce of tn~fl|\¥‘hm« dtrengthenad tha couvietion that tho truth of the Uredit Moblller business is partly ont st last, The Oredit AMobllier Oammlttea No. 2 was ongaged to-day in _contivulng tho oxamination of B, Rollins, aud tho testimony of James I, Wilson, of Iowa, Willlam B, Shaw, aud the civil onginoor omployed in 1803 aud 1804, Tha formor was quostioned as to tho socaunts of the ‘Union Pacifiv Ratlroad Company, the cost of the road, ita debty, profity, &o., the most of whioh lave apponred in the annual roports of the Gov- ernmaont Director, 3, Wilson was questionod Ip regard to tho | boon CHICAGO, THURSDAY, JANUARY 23, 1873, contracla of tha Wyoming Cosl Compan and fostiflod that 'in tho mooting of Hs Dircotora 110 oftorad a rosolution abrogating tho contracta with the Gurxipnhy, on tho ground that they woro robbing tho Union Paciflo qmllmnd by oharging oxorhitant rates undor tho contraod, and proventing compotition, Tho Doard of i rootora passed tha resolution, but subsoquently tho Lxcentive Commilteo rolnstated tho con- racts, and thoy woro continued, My, Bhaw was examined in the Lopa that Lo might throw somo light on tho oxponddituro of tho $196,000 for specinl logal sorvices, which could nat 1o necounted for in.
