COLFAX.
GUILTY OR INNOCENT ?
A .REVIEW OF HIS CASK.
Schuyler Colfax In His Own Uefence.
New Voile Sun.
Many people- have supposed that the
Credit Mebilier investigation, nearly eight
years age, left Schuyler Colfax civilly dead
and buiied out of sight. A committee of
his own political friends had convicted
him en the most crushing record testimony
of corruption and of false swearing.
Mr. Colfax was one of the Christian
statesmen who early solicited from Oakes
Ames an interest in the Credit Mebilier
job, and he was among the first, after the
original exposure in the Sun in 1S72, te
deny in bold terms any connection with
that iniquity, aud in a way te lcave the
impression that he had been grossly
wronged by an imputation against his
geed name. That denial was an audacious
falsehood, as he was compelled te admit
afterward by his own testimony. Ames
agreed te furnish Gelfax twenty shaies of
the Credit Mebilier at par of 100, which
were then worth between $300 aud $400
each. These shares were practically paid
for by dividends already acciued. Here
is the account recorded iu Ames's diary at
the time, and entered in the initials " S.
C." These initials have an important
bearing en Colfax's fabricated defence :

Colfax's check for $334.72 was vro vre
duced, showing by the prccise figures that
this sum was the difference he paid in a
transaction which he had publicly denied.
He swore before the committee, as ether
confederates in his jobbery did, that he
had retired from the-bargain with Ames
as seen as he heard of litigation involving
the Credit Mebilier. But Ames's diary
contained an entry proving that Colfax
had received ether money mei e thau a year
after the time when the latter had pie
tended te withdraw :
Fkiday, Jan, 22, 18C9.
' Paid S. Cellax $G0.7." for intciest en
$1,500 certificates of U. P. It. It."
These certificates were issued iu lieu of
bends te the stockholders, and with n
corresponding rate of interest.
The preliminary statement btings us te
the following letter, which establishes
the present existence of Schuyler Col
fax :
" Te the Editek of tiit. Sun Sir : I
cheerfully and promptly accept the
challenge iu your editorial of the 7th hist.
Yeu say in it that when I am invited by
an agricultural society, a girls' high
school, an association of young Christians,
a church fair, &c. (a goodly company,
indeed). ' Schuyler Colfax begins te pour
forth Tuppcrian apothegms en the injus
tice of public opinion, the malice of slan
der,' &c, but adding : ' He is careful net
te reopen judgment en tlte facts in his eicn
cae.' Aud theiefere, without auswering
railing with railing, and as you have
' reopened ' it hundreds of times, I i eply
te this challenge, closely confining my
self te 'the facts iu the case.'
" 1. The initial check for $1,200, ' te S.
C, or bearer,' which you constantly as
sume, in spite efiny sworn denial, must
have been paid te me, Mr. Dillen, the
cashier of the scrgeaut-at-arms, swere
thereon as fellows : ' I think I paid all
these checks, payable te initials, te Mr.
Ames.' And again : 'Mr. Ames was at
the office looking ever the different checks
this morning or yesterday afternoon. I
said te Mr. Ames, Did I net pay yen
that check?" and he leplicd, " I think it
very likely." ' Xnd again, as te this very
$1,200 check : '1 think I paid him (Ames)
two $300 bills and two $100 bills.'
" 2. As the check was dated June, 19,
1SG8, and I made a batik deposit of a simi
lar amount three days afterward, June 22,
it was sought te connect the two. But I
proved by Mr. Matthews and Mrs. llolli.s llelli.s
ter of my family that that very deposit of
$1,200 was composed of a thousand-dollar
bill received from Gee. F. Nesbit, one of
the most honored old-time citizens of my
native city, and $200 paid me by Mr.
Matthews. Aud that, as Mr. Nesbit had
generously and veluutarily proffered te
pay all the heavy expenses of my vice
presidential canvass, I sent en June 22,
the very day I deposited this money, a
draft for $1,000 te the Indiana Republican
state committee ; and I presented the can
celled draft te the committee as corrobo
rating evidence of the truthfulness of my
self and family.
"3. There wcic (diffeiing lieni the icst
of the dividend payments) tlnee initial
checks Mr. Ames claimed that he paid te
Judge Kelley, Gen. Garfield and myself.
But each of the three swore that he had
entirely abandoned, befere their date, an
inchoate bargain with Mr. Ames for Credit
Mebilier stock, each swore that he had
never received any such check, and each
swore he had never been paid any Credit
Mebilier dividends. Ou the ether side, Mr.
Ames could present no receipt from cither!
He produced no witness te either of these
alleged payments ! Ne endorsement by
either of the three could be found en any
of these initial checks ! Ne business man
lives in this country, or any ether, who be
lieves that any man would thus pay money
or dividends te any ether men. It is utter
ly incredible. Yeu would yourself pretest
agaiust such evidence having any weight
in a case of your own.
"4. Jehn T. Drew, a Vermont lawyer,
who was in Europe during the session of
the Credit Mebilier committee, addressed
a letter te its chairmau when he returned,
asseverating that he saw Mr. Ames present
at the sergeant-at-arms' counter this vciy
check for $1,200, payable te S. C, or
bearer, at the very moment I was presid
ing iu the Heuse, and saw Ames pay the
bills he received for it te a man with whom
he had been conversing about cotton claims
at the. Seuth.
"Your words, 'enforced retirement for
eight years,' alludes, of course, in your
way, te repeated refusals en my part of
'enforced public service,' either as repre
sentative or senator, my present life being
tee happy and independent.
"Yeu speak of my ' calling Ged te' wit
ness ; ' and I am glad I can de se new, as
in 1873, with a clear conscience and an
honest heart. At that judgment bar, where
we shall both appear, I can ' call Ged te
witness' that I never had a share of the
Credit Mebilier nor a dollar of its dividends,
and that I never saw nor even heard of the
check for $1,200 te S. C. or bearer till the
Credit Mebilier investigation four years
after its date. Ner de I fear the severest
judgment of ray Creater as te ray truth
fulness and iutegrity iu this matter, about
which I have beeu se bitterly and persist
cntly assailed by you month after month,
and ye; r after year, for the past eight
years.
" OCHVYLER COI.FAW
" Sectii Bend, Ind., Sept. 12."
The paragraphs marked 1 and 2 in the
letter refer te the check of Ames te S. C.
for $1,200, dated June 19, 18C8. drawn out
by Colfax in United States uetes, Satur
day, June 20, and deposited by him in the
First national bank, Monday, July 22, as
appears by his own deposit ticket :
United States notes $l,2m) 00
Check IS (
Check U0 00
The production of this evidence astound
ed Colfax. The links in the chain from
the check by Ames, through the sergeant-at-arms,
and into the deposit, wcre perfect.
These proofs were offered en the 28th of
January, and no attempt was made te
bicak their force until the 11th of Fcbiu
ary, a feitnight later. If thcie was any
explanation, why was it net made en the
spot? A lame and lying defence was cou ceu cou
cected, which ended in exposing Colfax's
venality where it had net been suspected.
He stepped from the frying pan into the
fire.
New for his witnesses. In Ne. 1 of his
letter he cites Mr. Dillen, cashier of the
sergeant at-arms, te relieve him ft out the
check, and gives a part of Dillen's testi
mony te that effect. This man was ex
amined twice. On the first occasion, J.m
uaiy 23, 1873, he testified :
" By Mr. Colfax :
"Q. At the lime this payment was
made en the S. C. check them hccms te
have been another te J. V. Wilsen, $329,
entered ou the same line. Would that in
dicate that the two checks came in te
gether ? A. Ne ; only that they came iu
en the same day. They were both put en
the same line as a matter of economy.
" Q. But de you recollect anything in
i elation te paying them, or te whom they
wciepaid? A. Xe, sir.
This positive and bread answer excluded
all knowledge en the patt of Dillion then.
At least he swere se. He was a clerk under
N. G. Ordway, then sergeant-at-arms, and
a radical Republican. The eorruptieuists
controlled the Heuse. They weie dissatis
fied with Dilfieu's testimony, because it
was important te clear Colfax and te re
lieve the party from these damaging dis
closures. When Dillion next appeared he
was no longer a knew-nothing, bat a most
willing witness, whom Cellax new uses
after eight years' silence te threw dust in
the eyes of a forgetful public.
Colfax attempted te explain the $1,200
check iu this way, te use his own weids :
" Of the deposit of bills, $200, I am pos
itive, were paid me by my stepfather, Mr.
Matthews, en account of a debt which he
owed me. About the time of this pay
ment, and as near as I can fix the (late,
about the middle of the month of June, as
I was opening my letter mail at the break
fast table, I found an cnvelope within an
ether envelope postmarked New Yerk. On
opening the inner envelope I found it con
tained a letter written by Geerge F. Nes
bit, congratulating me cordially upon my
nomination for the vice presidency, and
saying that the wi iter desired te scud me
confidentially the remittance enclosed, te
aid me in the heavy expenses of the can
vass, but wished it kept a secret, as neither
his family nor anyone else would ever
knew of it unless I told them. Enclosed
in the letter w.is a grceuback or na
tional bank bill for $1,000. Helding up
the letter and the bill, I asked the atten
tion of all my family te it. and then read
them the letter. Thchill icas then pasted
around from hand te hand and examined.
I am sure I deposited it with the $200 I
received from Mr. Matthews. I have gene
three times ever all the letters I have pre
served, and Jiate net found this letter."
After tinning te vaiieus fticuds in New
Yerk for assistence in accounting for the
$1,200, as a lean or otherwise, this Nesbit
story was manufactured out of whole cloth
A number of Ncsbit's letters were pro
duced, but, by singular fatality, the most
important of all was missing. It could net
be found for the sufficient reason, that it
was never written. Nesbit was a favored
contractor in the poitefficc dcpaitincnt.
Fer years he had successfully dclicd all
competition by inyxteiieus influences,
which became explained by his corres
pondence with Colfax, who had been
chairman of the postefiico committee,
speaker and was then vice president.
In one of Ncsbit's letteis, dated April
17, 1803, he writes:
" I enclose a cite cL for safety. If you
had lather icccive it iu another feim,
pleae name your v.ish. "
This " it " probably refcued te a piar
tcily remittance of $1,000, which Colfax
admitted he had leceivcd regularly. Yet
between two of these periodical iiaymcuts
Colfax pretended that he had received an
extra $1,000 bill from a sharp business
man, who was iu the habit of sending him
" checks for safety."
Only two witnesses were' brought for
ward by Colfax te sustain his flimsy story,
invented five years after the real transac
tion. A " thousand-dollar bill passed
round from hand te hand aud examine:!,"
after special attention had been called te
it, was a fact likely te be remembered if
it had ever happened. But it was net
confirmed by either of the witnesses, who
were members of his own family, with the
fullest confidence in his integrity and
doubtless willing te have their memories
refreshed by his statements.-
Geerge W. Matthew?, the htep father,
was a clerk in the Heuse of Representa
tives, who owed his appointment te Col
fax. After being coached, Matthews tes
tified :
"After the servant went out he opened
the letter, which was written en ordinary
paper. He held it up a moment or two se
that wc could leek at it, and said : ' A
thousand-dollar bill from a gentleman who
is almost a stranger.' "
Mis Hellistcr, Colfax's half-sister, was
brought from Utah te help him out of the
scrape. She was asked :
" Q State if you have any recollection
or knowledge et the receipt of a letter by
him, enclosing a thousand-dollar bill, in
June, 1808. A. I remember he received
a thousand-dollar bill in June, aud he said
it came from Mr. Nesbit, of New Yeik.
" Q. Yeu saw the niency that came in
the letter? A. I cannot say positively that
I saw it.
"Q. De you remember whether Mr.
Colfax exhibited the money that was in it
se that you could sec it ? A. ceidd net
say as te that."
These are the family witnesses, aud they
de net corroborate Colfax in any essential
point. The bill was1 net hapded around
aud examined, as he swore it was, and the
whole testimqny turns upon what he
" said." Ne. 1 and Ne. 2 of the letter
my be dismissed.
Ne. 3 is unpleasantly characteristic of
Colfax. In his artful knavery he asks why
no receipts were passed for the dividends
and money paid out by Ames. He thinks
it jncredable that any business man
would act in that way. Here were mem
bers of Congress corruptly confederating
for gain, all of whom made Ames their
trustee iu order te conceal their venality.
Yet one of tnem tries te make a point in
his behalf by exclaiming that no vouchers
were exhibited, and offers as proof that he
and his associates were net corrupt, the
fact that they did net sign papers which
would have sent them te the penitentiary !
Mr. Hale, acting as counsel for Colfax,
undertook te badger Ames, with the fol
lowing result :
."Q. Did you take any receipt, voucher,
or acknowledgment from Mr. Colfax in
payment of the $1,200 which you stated
you gave him in June ? A. I de net think
I did. I gave him a check and he drew
the money. "
Q. The last pat t of your answer is net
responsive te my question. A. It is true
nevertheless.
" Q. The payment you have new testi
fied of $00.73, made en the 22d of Jau-
uary, 18G9, did you take any receipt or
voucher for that ? A. Ne, sir ; it was his
money.
Ne. 4 alleges that Jehn T. Drew, a Ver
mont lawyer, who was iu Europa duriug
the session of the Credit Mebilier com
mittee, saw Ames present the S. C. check
for $1,200, and pay the proeceds'te a third
person.
After the death of Ames there turned
up a host of defenders of the Credit Mo Me
bilier jebbeis, who -had never dared te
utter a word while he lived. Among them
was this lobbyist, Drew, who was seen in
Washington while the investigation was
going en, though he claimed te have been
iu Paris all the time. He says that he
went te Ames with letters of introduction,
and accompanied him te the office of the
sergcant-at arms, where, while talking
business, he spied out the name and amount
en a check iu Ames s hands.. I he fellow
addressed a letter te Judge Poland, and,
although cemiiur from the same state and
professing te knew him personally, he
thought it necessary te fei tify himself with
certificates of cnaracter. In that letter he
says :
" On the 20th aud 22d of June, 1808, as
my diary for that year shows, I called
upon the Hen. Oakes Ames. The first call
(the 20th) was with a note of introduction
from cither the Hen. W. B. Washburn, or
the Hen. T. E. Woedbridgc, I de net re
member which although he keps a diary.
The second time (the 22d) I met Mr,
Ames I had a letter from Majer General
Yeatch, of Indiana, which I read te him.
I walked by his side te the sergeant at
arms' desk. While we were talking I no
ticed a cheek iu Mr. Ames's hands. I
remember very distinctly that it was drawn
te 'S. C. or bearer,' and was for
$1,200. I knew I thought te myself.
' Who the dickens is S. C. or bearer ?'
This check was then aud there cashed at
tile desk of the sergeant-at-arms, and I
well remember one $300 bill aud several
$100 bills. Walking back te the gentle
man he had first been talking te, Mr.
Ames handed him this money and received
some kind of a written deenmsnt in re
turn."
Drew's allegations are net made under
oath. That ought te settle him as a wit
ness. But there is mere te be said. A
geed itar ought te have a geed memory.
Drew kept a diary, and therefore was pre
cise as te dates aud things. He positively
saw this S. C. check paid te Ames en the
22d of June, 1803, at the second meeting.
New, that'chcck was dated June 19. It
was paid te Colfax June 20. And the
money was deposited en Monday morning,
June 22, by Colfax, ou his way te the
capitol, as appeals by the deposit ticket
in his own handwriting, and net disputed.
Exit Drew.
This is the sort of testimony which Col
fax has the effrontery te parade for -his
defence, eight years after his conviction by
a Republican committce and by an almost
unanimous public opinion.
At the close of his letter Colfax impi
ously calls Ged te witness that he " never
had a share of the Credit Mebilier nor a
dollar of its dividends, and that he never
saw or even heard of the check for $1,200
te S. C. or bearer." These declarations
have as much meial value as dicers' oaths.
A forsworn man commits sacrilege
wheu he profanely invokes the Lord's
name.
Colfax swere solemnly and repeatedly
that he never hid auy business relations
with Geerge F. Nesbit from whom he re
ceived $1,000 quarterly, and that he knew
nothing whatever of his contracts. Here is
an exti.icc from his testimony :
"Q. Was net this Mr. Nesbit aeon aeen aeon
tracter with the postefiico departmeut for
furuishing envelopes? A. Se I under
stand. " Q. Fer four or five years, while yen
were chairman of the postelfico commit
tee ? A. I have no recollection of it ; I
had no connection icilh it. He never spoke
te me iu 18G3, or in auy year preceding
1SGS, or up te tfie day of his death, in ref
erence te a postefiico contract. He never
asked ine te de anything, directly or in
directly, in regard te it at any time.
"Mr. Amis: It seems that this man
alwaj r get the contract every year, whether
he was the highest or lowest bidder.
Mr. Colfax : That I knew nothing about.
Nesbit obtained a contract without ad
vertisement, which Postmaster General
Creswell held te be void. Influence was
neccs.saiy te prevent an annulment, and
Colfax addressed a long argument te the
depai tment, after having made a personal
appeal te Creswell. That paper is new en
file, unless it has been stelen. Republicans
of the Indiana delegation, te satisfy them
selves, went te the department, examined
the document and came away disgusted
with the Christian statesman whom they
had tried te prep up.
Again : after the Credit Mebilier com
inittcc had investigated Colfax's bank ac
count, he becanie alarmed lest they might
demand an insight into his box of papers,
then lying in the vault for safety. He re
moved it te his lodgings at Wormley's
hotel. While he and his wife were at the
capitol, the box was stolen from his trunk,
where it was locked up. The robbery could
net be concealed, and when information
was sought by the reporters Colfax in
formed them that the box contained his
wife's jewels and laces, probably worth
$4,000 in all.
The case was placed in the hands of the
detectives, with a description of the con
tents te aid them. That box contained
nearly one hundred thousand dollars of
bends, scrip, aud the like, the profits of
Colfax's career in Cengress: The detec
tives seen found out where the box had
gene, and perhaps they did net need much
help te make the discovery. The contents,
less $10,000, were returned te the owner,
and the thieves were never prosecuted, be
cause a trial would have exposed what
Colfax was most anxious te conceal. The
list of securities is iu the attorney gener
al's effice at Washington, or rather it was
