On Friday, about noon, a gentleman about sixty years of age called at the Clyde Hotel, No. 13 Anderston Quay, and, stating that he was fatigied, asked if ie could have a quict bedroom, that he might obtain a little rest. He was shown to a bedroom, and a glass of whiskey having been sent to him, he requested that he should not be disturbed till the following day. As he did not make his appearance on Satur- day morning the Decree of the house became ap- prehensive that all was not well, and on attempting to open the door. they found that it was fastened on the inside. The lock was at once forced, and entrance being thus obtained, the occupant of the room was found lying dead in bed. Anexamination was immediately instituted, and in one of the pockets of the dress which had been worn by the deceased there was found a paper labelled “opium,” and along with it the following note :— Guascow, Dec. 13, 1 Thave done this myself, no other patie Pi ins being cognizant of it or knowing anything about it. ‘D:D. 'f BENEDICT. ently made it appeared that the deceased was the person who some time ago opened an office in West Regent street as a “foreign claims agent,” and with regard to whose prooecaae the police have been engaged making investigations, as reported on Thursday last. These investigations had not been com- but it was suspected that Ben- was realizing a handsome income from the fees he was in the habit of receiving trom people. chiefly resident m the United States, for he purpose of establishing their claims to prop- erty which he had represented to them had been left them in various parts of England. He was an American by birth, and the only connection he is known to have in this country is a lady who lodged in the same house with him in Bath street, and whom he represented to be his daughter. The suicide had evidently been premeditated for some days. Benedict was Pihieceie: by the police on Tuesday last, but was liberated in the course of the afternoon. On the following day his premises were searched, and among his papers there wi found a note, dated 10th inst., in terms similar those on the note found after his death in the pocket of the dress he had worn, AN END OF ELIZABETH’S POLITICAL DEAD. i K.

Facts for the Congressional Star Chamber Committee. STATEMENT OF VICE PRESIDENT DURANT. How the Credit Mobilier Ring De- frauded the Union Pacific. A WHEEL WITHIN A WHEEL. A Clear Expose of Fraud Made in Open Court. CONTRACTS FOR WORK ALREADY DONE. Mr. Durant’s Affidavits and the Injunctions Granted in 1867, The documents presented below are now for the first time given to the public, They are not the product of imagination or malicious rumors, but the legal papers of the Court where the originals were filed on the 20th day of September, 1867, Omitting the superabundance of legal verbiage in some of the aMdavits, summonses and schedules, a plain transcript of the state of facts is presented. It is an inside view of the extraordinary manner in which @ portion of the stockholders of the Union Pacific Railroad Company—a corporation entrusted largely with the confidence and credit of the na- tlon—by the organization of the Crédit Mobilicr, a corporation embracing only members of the former company, a wheel within a wheel—contrived to control the entire working machinery and absorb the profits accruing of the entire Union Pacific Railroad Company. It is history sworn to by the highest oficial of the Union Pacific Company, at the time the action alidded to waa deemed heces- sary. Although a stockholder in Orédit Mobilier, he had an eye to the economy of the Union Pacific, regarded the high obligation which that corpora- tion was under to the national government, and resisted tne attempt of the directors of the inner circle to infringe upon his interests and rights as projector, builder and principal officer of the Union Pacific. The facts presented will assist the committee now investigating the Crédit Mobilier at Washington not only to better understand the motives for the bribery and corruption of mem- bers of Congress and the sources from which were derived the funds to pay the debauched mem- bers such enormous dividends, but will enable them also to take o larger and broader view of the real character and management of the great corporation which the government clothed with so much of ita material aid and confidence; to review the original compact, and to ascer- tain whether it has been violated, and whether the people who relied upon Congress to invest their money = eco- nomically have been robbed by a combination between corrupt Congressmen and wicked corpo. rators, some of whom were directors in both cor- porations and Congressmen at the same time. The committee of investigation of the House of Representatives, it is popularly believed, have no right to close their doors against the people. The impression is firmly fixed in the public mind that the same wily influences which have been inge- niously manipulating and speculating upon the credit of the Union Pacific Railroad Company, leeching its very existence, compelled the com- mittee to exclude the press and close its doors, in order that the scoundrels who have occupied the seats and infested the lobbies of Congress tor years, and, by their votes and agencies, have robbed the government and people, may cover their lawless tracks and escape. It is the delibe- Tate purpose of a vigilant press and the earnest wish of the tax-burdened people that they shall not, and the committee should eed such intima: tion, The only honorable course for the committee to pursue, composed as it is of gentlemen of ability and honorable repute, is to relieve themselves of the heavy and questionable responsibility which they have assumed and open their doors, Then let the House of Representatives enlarge the commit- tee’s powers and examine the honest men scat- tered over the country as witnesses who will tell what they know. In the meantime let Dr. Thomas ©. Durant be heard. At the time he took the action referred to below he was a director and large stockholder of the Union Pacific Railroad Company, afterwards Vice President and execu- tive officer and subsequently President, and now large owner and director in that corporation. SUPREME COURT, CITY AND CouNTY OF NEW York—Thomas 0. Durant vs. The Union Pacific Railroad Company. City and County of New ¥c 89.:—Thomas 0, Durant, plaintiff in the above entitled actica, being duly sworn, deposes and says that he is the plain- tiff in this action, and has read acopy of the ami- davit of Oliver Ames, Sidney Dillon and Cornelius 8. Bushnell, sworn to June 28, 1867. Deponent further says that no arrangements are now made between the Orédit Mobiller of America and the Union Pacifico Railroad Company for the construction of the road of said company, except as hereinafter stated, and that no contract or agreements of any kind or manner was ever made between these companies, except these herein set out specifically. That in reference to the allegation in said afida- vit that deponent assented to the J. M. 8. Williams contract, deponent ae cate against the said contract in the Board meetings and outside the meetings of the Board, as is well known to the Board, including Messrs. Dillon, Ames and Bush- nell. That the tacts regarding the relations of the Crédit Mobilier to the Paciiic Railroad Company and the proposed Williams contract are as herein set out. That prior to the execution of this con- tract,* and before the election of October, 1866, at which Messrs. Ames and Dillon were elected directors of the company, during the Summer and Fall of 1866 the work west- ward of the 100th meridian nad been pushed {or- ward under deponent’s supervision, a large amount of grading done and materials furnished, under verbal understandings and agreements, as before stated. That the execution of the written contract had been delayed for some months, until the poy of the compary should be decided about putting the whole or a large portion of the road under a general contract, with which it was not desired that any arrangement should interfere. Deponent further says:—In reference to the in- troduction by depon f his aeons dated 27th of March, 1867, to the Board of Directors, that the facts were as follows :— the next meeting of ‘That in Maro! the board after the board and the same day the board again met and proceeded to business, ‘That deponent handed the protest to the Board, which was a8 follow: UNION Pacivid RATLROAD COMPANY, PRESIDENT’S OFFICR, 20 NASSAU STREET, New York, March 27, 1867. To THR DIRECTORS OF THE UNION PACIFIC RAIIa ROAD COMPANY :— age GENTLEMEN—I protest against the resolution of the Board of tabi eho at your last meet- ing, which proposes to give the contract of the road of this company, commencing at the one hundred degrees meridian of longitude, for the reasol it & section of road already accepted is iuctuded in the co: tract and it doés not appear that this Goer ge lerived ariy benefit adequate to the price paid over the cost of construction, by the purchase of securities or otherwise, and does not in the Lg bas a nis ead Rein i contract the completio roud within th iss + wg fits why Be Sher Pua dhs named in a previous protest relative to the exten- sion of the “Hoxie contract," at the rate of $50,000 per mile for thet portion of the road completed and accepted by the government Commissioners, I beg to Gall your attention again to the fact that a part of this work has been done for months and contracts made and materials delivered for nearly one hundred and fifty miles of road, which the company have paid for, as wiil b the books. ‘Respectiully, 1. G. Other business being in order, the Boa! Journed to the next day, and, on meeting, the question of the protest came before the Board. Several motions were made in reference to the disposition of the p , and among. them a A OMALLPOX I OVA 8001 motion to re‘use to receive the protest—a motion SMALE Ee yee or resolution deciining to receivo'any communtca- . tion froin the Vice President—apon Wkich motions . gon aad Belem considerable discussion ensued, when, on the stig- | The smallpox is prevalent at Berbuico, Argyle, | gestion of one of the government directors, the | Dee! and Yarmouthtown.

That Be Piarement ae seas aimdavit of Am rel same “was ni Tead by the platntit at the said meeting,” was made, ag this deponent verily believes, to misiead the Court aud ¢0 attompt by subterfuge. and. eva: impressien that the protest was not read at ailto the Coard, or any action taken upon it, aud that ‘Board had kno’ its contents, vised = Renee ‘That prior to the commence: all moneys borrowed, all Toans tade for the tau, ing of money, were made by the Union Pacific Rail- road Company, and not tl rédl That the Credit Mobiller, oe comeaty Moouer, credit so far as making loans or borrow: money was concerned, and all were m: by the Unton Pacific Railroad Company on tts ewn securi- ties, except in one or two instances, in whioh in-~ stances the sccurities of the Union Railrosd Company were used as collateral, and were the basis of the loan. ‘That in no instance in the history of the road, price to the commencement of this action, within he knowledge of this deponent, has the Orédit Mobilier borrowed any money for the use of the Tatlroad on its own credit, and without the credit of the Union Pacific Railroad and its securities as collateral, J That the actual cost of the railroad from Omaha to the one hundredth meridian was $7,150,000, distance of 246.72 miles. That the contract price for the same was $50,000 per mile, being $12,336,000— being profit, $5,215,158, That the Crédit Mobilier has already received from the Union Pacific Ratlroad, on account of con- Re to one hundredth meridian, $10,000,000, and over. ‘That the Crédit Mobilier's proposition to take of the Union Pacific Railroad $3,000,000 in land grant bonds, at eighty cents on the dollar, has been ac- cepted by the company, which, when consum- mated, will leave the Crédit Mobilier indebted to the Union Pacitic Railroad in the sum of about $2,400,000, with a profit on the portion of the road in'which the Crédit Mobilier was interested, pein from Omaha to the one hundredth meridian, ol $5,000,000, That this statement exhibits the utter falsit; of the pretemce that the Union Pacific Ri road is in need of assistance from ti Crédit Mobiller, as it is abundantly able to build its road, and has its securities west of the one hundredsh meridian to sell, which are now se! ing rapidly at ninety ceuts, besides government bonds and very large receipts from runnin, nses, making it perfectly independent of the Great wovitier, 80 lar as any necessity 1s con- cerned, Deponent further says:—In reference to tho ail gation in the joint aMdavit of Messrs. Ames, Dill and Bushnell, “that the said work is not and has nut been done under the direction of the said plaintiff, but a eommittee was sppeiree to take charge of the same," &c., &c., this deponent say: that if the said afiidavits meane f on mtige of the Crédit Mobilier, consisting of Duraht, Duit an: Dillon, as Mr. Byspnell subsequently testifies be- foro Mr, Sutphép, referee, this deponent says that ho committee of the Crédit Mobilier had any igh gr authority over deponent acting as Vicé Prési lent and executive otticer of the Union Pacific Rail- Toad, and said committee was appointed by the Crédit Mobilier after the construction of fifty-five iniles and over, aud never attem)ted, as such com- mittee, to interfere in the control, management or affairs of the Railroad Company. Deponent further says, in relation to the allega- tion in the joint affidavit of Messrs. Ames, Dillon, and Bushnell, as to the resolution passed by the Board of Directors, on the 24th day of November, 1866, on the eve of the departure of General Dix for Europe, that the resolutions, as passed on that oc- casion, were as follows :-— New York, Nov. 23, 1866, ADJOURNED MEETING. Present—Ames, Ashman, Bardwell, Cook, Car- ter, Dix, Dillon, Dut, Durant, Harbaugh, Lambard, McCormick, McComb, Sherman, Tracy, ‘Puitle, Wil- liams, Cisco and Bushnell, Mr. Williams offered the following resolution, which was adopted :— Thatthe proper executive officers proceed immediately to make contracts tor the delivery. of cross- Hos, delivered at convenient points on the line of the road ae lar west as the Black Hills, Such contracts to be ned over to the contractors for building the road when- ever such general contract shall be made. , New Yors, Nov. 24, 1866, etree to adjournment the Board of Directors me! al a a the members present—President \Dix in the chair, The President made an address to the Board, and oe leave of the members on his departure for ance. Mr. Williams offered the following resolutions; a which were adopted :— ved, That pro} ila be invited, at the December meeting of the Board, for the construction of oad, accor ma fen the standard adopted by the Sec- 'y of the Interior, in his letter of instructions to the nt Directors and Commissioners ot February 24, 1806; ouch proposal to, include six ver cent of sidings, with an equipment of $5,000 per mile. Proposals will be—First, irom the three’ huudredth mile post to the west Dank of the North Fork of the Platte, about three hundred and sixty-five miles; and, second, for the whole line to Salt Lake City, or the same meridian, about seyen hundred and thirty-two miles; the price per mile being stated separately ior each general division, of such con: venient length as will include mainly sunilar work, and to cover the cost of transporting iron over the finished road of the company. Resolved, That until a contract be consummated, the ading along the Platte aud Lodge Pole shall bo pressed forward by the company asthe Winter season may per- tit; the ascertained cost thereot to be charged over to any’ future contract, when made. Mr. Williams offered tne following resolutions, which were adopted :— Whereas it is incumbent on the Board, to whom is Committed this great national enterprise, to husband its resources with the utmost economy in évery depart- ment, consistent with an efficient progress of the work; and whereas it is believed by many experiencedjrailroad men that the company can secure greater econoin: by building the road through its own direct agency, le ting the grading on puolic notice and with tree compe- tition in small contracts, of say $50 to $50,000, without the intervention of a contracting company ‘of larze capitalists, thus saving an intermediate protit: therefore solved, That the Finance Committee be requested to consider the practicability of providing funds by the ne- gotiation of, or upon the basis of the government, and rst mortgage bonds to meet promptly the engimeers’ monthly estimates to such grading contractors, track lay- ing and te contractors, with the expense of treights, &c. That the foregoing resolutions are true and cor- rect copies of the resolutions as passed at the said meetings of the Board of Directors, as the same are now recorded in the books of the company. That no reference is made in said resolutions to the Crédit Mobilier, as is in said joint amidavit alleged; but it was intended, and the resolutions aforesaid were passed with the intention, that the work should be prosecuted by the Union Pacific Railroad Company, and not by the Crédit Mobilier, as the resolutions themselves clearly show. That the resolutions, as stated in the said joint affidavit, omit the words ‘by the company,” which are in the resolutions as passed, Deponent further says that upon the passage ofthe resolution of March 1, 1867, mentioned in the complaint, the vote was not taken by yeas and Nays, or a call of the members by nate, and con- sequently the record of the meeting does not show who voted against the resolution; but that mem- bers of the Board of Directors had been previously informed by Seputene that he would not vote for the resolution, because, among other reasons, the road had been constructed, to his certain know- ledge, at a much less cost. Deponent further says that, after the Union Pacific Railroad Company was organized, the work of constructing the road was com- Menced by the company without giviag out any general contract therefor, and was carried on by the company in that manner upon its own account, and until Angust 8, 1364, when the com- pany made a contract with H. M. Hoxie for the construction, completion and equipment of tho road for a distance of 100 miles next west of Omaha, which contract was made on the part of the company by a special committee of directors Appointed for that purpose, consisting of John A. Dix, George T, M. Davis and Cornelius S. Bush- nell, which contract was made by @ proposition in writing, and an acceptance thereof writing dated August 8, 1864, ‘That said contract afterwards, on the 4th day of October, 1864, was extended so as to include the whole line from Omaha to the one hundredth meridian, being in all about two hundred and for- ty-seven ‘miles, of which contract and extension yement a copy is hereunto annexed. DDeponent farther says th; work of con- struction of that part of the/road included in said Horyie’s contract Was much Heavier and mure ex- nsive than upon the it ‘les or upwards next west thereo!; and that thee. vi on one section of thirty miles of said tract was greater than it was upon the 140 mext west of the one hundredth dian, That at the time of making contract the country was iuvolyed jn wat, la was dificult to procure, the price of fren was high, being about $20 per ton higher than at present of in March last; that the transportation o! ihe ire” and materials at the time ofthe making of said Sie TY BAIA except by thy Vie. Iver, igh al ang and uncertain, and at aeost of at from $20, or up- wards, a ton greater tian the prices At present nd in March last, railroad communication having en since estabilshed, That at the time of making said contract the enterprise was @ new one, and it Was inexpedient to offer the securities of the com- pany in the market before any considerable por- tion of the road was completed—it was very important for the interest of the company to @ecure the early completion of ® portion of the road. That, under those circumstances, the contract with Hoxie was made, allowing hin ® large and liberal price for the work, above flat the directors supposed the work would actually cost, in order to induce contractors to advance them means to insure its execution. that alterwards—September 30, 1864—deponent, believing it to be for the interest of the company to have more ital interested in the suecess of the company, and becoming satisfied that the prices given by said contract would afford large protits, sufficient to make the same desirable to capitalists When it should be understood, made an agreement with said Hoxte, by which said Hoxie was, Whenever called upon by deponent, upon cer- tain conditions, to assign said contract to de- ponent, or such parties as deponent should name, who would furnish the necessary funds to com- plete the same. Deponent further saith that he soon afterwar: in pursuance of the agreement with said Hox offered to various parties an opportunity to take an interest in said contract, which was accepted by different persons, each’ of whom signed an agreement to t' as follows:—Thomas O. 8, Busiimeil, $400,000; Charics Ae ,
