The Boston Globe does not proposo to be blinded by partisanship in the Csedit Mobilier business. The followiug is ita latest view ot' the matter : " In looking over the record thua far disclosed, Mr. Blaino and Mr. Boutwell stand clear of all ïhey havo aoted like upright and honorable public servante, and have no taint ol Credit Mobilier ,abont theni. Mr. Ames says he never paid anythingot orreceived anything f'rom thein ; their naines are not oiï his books at all ; there was a talk with thera, but they deelined to take any stock. Messrs. ïtawes and Wilson, of this State, got into the business, unf'ortunately, but, becoming ilarrnod at their position, paid up and backed out, which so far as confession and reparation are concerned, is so nauch to their credit. Aa toTice-President Colfax, Senator Patterson and Mr. Brooïts, of New York, theïr case looks worso and the more we investígate, and their cnlpabïlity OTerahadows that of Garfield, Kelley, Allison and others. Mr. Ames, who has vainly tried to assist these men in skulking from the disslosnre of their aeí?, in answer ter a question from Mr. üSiblack why he did so, replied that it was " bccauso he was so kiad-hsarted and: tvanted to help everybody." The public will bs apt to conclude that the best way to help snch raen as these is to relieve thein of the cares of public office."
