Ceneral J. R. Haw-ley Haw-ley spoke hero. Col lax was elected to provide, and said: "Let me detain you a lew moments, my townsmen, while 1 touch & fabric of falsehood with the Spear truth, exposing the so-called Credit Mobilier scandal, that you may see out of what worthless stutf campaign charges aro manufactured. There are three papers in the United States which, above all others, absolutely know, as I shall show, thai bribing mo to support ; too Pacific K.

P. railroad; might decide as to ils practicability, might hasten its construction by using our influence, in-fluence, to induce capitalists to accept the liberal subsidies proil'ered three years previously by congress. From a letter written by Mr. Bowles to the Springfield " Republican,-' dated San Francisco, August lth, ltyjo, found on page "jL2ol'hi widoiy circulated book, "Aero Continent,'' I quote the following: fol-lowing: "Government U nds areloaned to it to the amount of slti.uo a mile through the piains, and $4,1X0 a miie through tlie mountains; besides which halt tne land on each side of ihe road tor twenty miles deep, is donated outright out-right to the companies doing tne work.

Mr. Bowles wrote truly uigent and patriotic appeals. Ttmse representatives and special correspondents correspond-ents of the New York and Chicajo "Tribunes," and the Springfield "Ka. publican," with perhaps mv humble aid, basod on the personal knowledge we had acquired on our long and dangerous dan-gerous journey sought to induce men of wealth to accept the subsidy orTered first by the congress of '62, and improved bv the congress of two years after wards, both which subsidy acts were supported and voted for by such distinguished distin-guished senators as Trumbull and Sumner. Sum-ner. These very capitalists have been denounced ever since by many papers and politicians as no better than swindlers, for accepting what had been proffered and re-proffered by congress, with the heartiest popular endorsement, and finally risking millions where others would not hazard dollars. Having myself my-self made more speeches, addresses and lectures ic favor of the Pacific railroad, as a political, military and commercial necessity, than any other man in the nation, nothing could be more absurd and self-refuting, than the charge that one whe wis its open friend when millions mil-lions doubted its practicability, had to be bribed to favor its interest. I am proud to say that in all my public life, no man dared make ma a dishonorable proposition. Do I need to add that neither Oakes Ames, nor any other person, per-son, ever gave or offered to give me one share or twenty shares, or 2,000 eharas in the Credit Mobilier or any other railroad rail-road stock?
