BUFFALO EXriïESS: Kelley and GARFIBLBhave so misvfinvfismitfiri the facts. and emleavored to disguise the trahsaötion as á loan, tbat a more severe punishnient wöuld not be out of place. NEW YORK TIMES: Messrs.Kelley and GARFIELD presen! a most distressing figure. It is the clear duty oí Congress to' visit vitli punishment all who took ('redii. Moliilier stock fromOakes Ames. THE NATIOK: The investigatjon into Col.

JIAKPERS' WEEKLT: DiBgraced in the eyes of thë public for owning Credit Moboilier stock. which was in fact and intent a fraud upon the "ovcinment. Also for Deceit and EvasioB.- The High trust of Legislation Misused.- The People wil! not long respect the Lawa if they lose respect for the Líiw Makers. ALBANY EVÈNfNQ JOURNAL: We think Mr. Kelley, Mr. (iARPIELD, ani some of the others do not stand quite as well. Their wrong: waa that they did not lraiiKiv ana uní; u-u luc uuui - 1" ilicy concealed and preváricated and misrepresented.

INDIANAPOLIS JOTKXAL: All the signs of the times indícate that the people ;u-e thoroughly aroused about the prevalent corrnption of the day. Tlu nartv must purge itself of those men. ,., „ üur institutions and our hberties are in da nner.
