MADISON, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, JUNE 8, 1876. fro. 242. raiiMPii. BY VOLUME XXIV.

STATE JOUIINALJ THE OFFICIAL STATE PAPER. The White Feather-The Democratic Convention in Milwaukee, yesterday, contained some of the best known members of the party; but they seem to have lost their grip. Instead of boldly discussing the vital questions at Issue, the Convention appointed a Committee on Resolutions, and submitted every thinfr to this body without debate. The eloquence of Fulton, Reed, Bouck, and other positive men was thus kept in abeyance. They were given to understand by the action of the Convention that the resolutions would be considered and rej ported back to the Convention.

Common courtesy, the usual practice, and a decent respect for the rights and opinions of a minority demanded this much. Certainly the majority should not have held out any false pretences by raising a commit-tee on purpose to consider resolutions and prepare a and then have refused to- hear a report or allow a word to be said. We believe that no Convention that ever -met in the State has shown the white feather so completely as the one just adjourned. Even the Democrat denounces the "truckling cowardice" shown, and says. "The Democratic party will never win, and never ought to win, in a national election by playing the role of coward." It avoids discussion for fear of creating discord and endangering its chances.

It wants power and is afraid to discuss principles. It betrays internal discords or a lamentable lack of confidence, the forerunners of defeat. Death, of a Prominent Portage Man. We learn that Mr. Carl Haer-tell, of Portage, died at his home in that about 10 o'clock P.

Wednesday night, of heart disease, from which he had been a sufferer for some time, owing to an accumulation of fat about that organ. Mr. Haertell was a man about GO years of age, and an old resident of Portage, where he was much esteemed by the entire community. He had long been engaged in the brewing business, and was also engaged in banking in the banking house of Haertell Schulze. He had accummulated a large property, and was probably the wealthiest man in Portage.

He was a generous and public spirited man, always ready to assist in any public enterprise. He leaves quite a family, most of his children being married. Grain Shipments. Low freights to the seaboard and across the ocean, with fair prices for grain, are stimulating very large shipments. Immense quantities are being received in La Crosse from the West, and many and long trains of cars are carrying grain from there and from other points to which grain from Minnesota Iowa an 5 Northern Wisconsin, come.

Storage and car room have been inadequate. The receipts and shipments at lake ports are very large. The export movement of grain from the United States to Europe is now unusually active. From New York alouo, 1,186,000 bushels of wheat were forwarded during the past week, to meet the large foreign demand. Blaine Proves Knott a Liar.

Mr. Blaine discomfited the Judiciary Committee Wednesday, and made a strong point against Knott by having the records of the committee read to prove the truth of his statement in the House on Monday the sub committee was appointed after the passage of the Tarbox resolution, and not before, as asserted by Mr. Knott The records were read, and it appeared that Messrs. Hcnton, Ashe, and Lawrence were appointed as the sub-committee on the day after the passage of the resolution. Prison Congress.

A. Prison Congress is in session in New York, the existing system of prison management being under discussion by a number of persons who are presumed to have made a special study of (he subject of prison management and discipline, with a view to making prisons reformatory as well as punitive. The several States are represented by officially appointed tiulegites, who are either practical prison olflcers or men who have made the subject of crime and criminals a matter of special investigation. 1 Another Blaine Debate. Yester day afternoon, in the House, Mr.

Tarbox, of Massachusetts, got the floor for a per sonal explanation, in order to make an other attack on Blaine. This led to protracted and sharp debate, the report of which was sent from Washington to New York over four wires and West over two simultaneously, but owing to the difiicul ty of getting it here in good shape, we preferred to wait tor the mail. A Second Advent Preacher Drowned. A dead body found floating some time ago in Rock River, a short dis tance below Rockfbrd, has been identified by his son that of Rev. J.

L. Croft, of Janesville, whose mind of late has been somewhat deranged upon the Second Ad vent doctrine, and he was in the habit leaving home for two or three weeks, and discoursing to people on his absorbing theme. Base Ball. The Chicago White Stock-ing base ball club Tuesday beat the Athletics of Philadelphia, 7 to 0. The club has now played nineteen match games with leading clubs of other cities for the championship, losing only three of them.

The prospect is very flattering that they will win the national championship. Warlike Turkey has granted an armistice to her insurrectionists, but there is a prospect that it will be refused, and there will be war between Turkey and her border provinces, with a possibility of other powers being drawn into it. The Treasury Investigation. Washinotos, June 7. in me session ot the senate a long and protracted debate took place over a resolution offered by Mr.

Davis, charging gross irregularities upon the Treasury Department, and that discrepan cies existed, which would not admit of explanation. TheJDemocratic Senators, led by Davis reiterated these assertions, and asserted boldly that the books of the Treasury had been tampered with. The Finance Committee were instructed to investigate the matter thoroughly and to re-port to the Senate the result ot their After a very patient examination, the committee, yesterday made its report, which is concurred in by all ihe members, Democrats and. Republicans, to the Sen ate. The report covers 100 pages, and in substance says that the.

discrepancies pointed out are not real. The books of the Treasury have never been altered, nor the mode of keeping them. The mode of making up the monthly debt statements has been changed, and the reason for so doing was explained to the satisfaction of the entire committee. There is uq discrepancy between the actual mon. ey in the Treasury and the accounts as published.

The committee finds that the apparent discrepancy grows oat of the trust funds, unavailable balancies. and out standing warrants. The committee rec ommend that all trust funds be covered into the Treasury and the unavailable balances charged over to the various funds. No change in the mode of bookkeeping is recommended. The Indians-Cheyenne, Wyoming, June 7.

An Indian named Hand reports to Ft. Laramie to-day, through Little Bat, a Government scout, who was with Egun on his last expedition, that he met some Northern Indians who report 1,200 lodges near the mouth of Tongue River, moving north to meet the Creeks and other bands, which it has been before reported by Egan was struck by Ferry's command news of which drew reinforcements from the main Indian who with them. engaged Ferry during the whole day. One company of the 7th cavalry arrived at this city to-day; four more will be here to-night. Denyer, June 7.

It is supposed that they are going to join the Sioux. Omaha, June 7. The following dispatch was received at Department headquarters to-day, from the commanding officer at Fort Laramie: "Spotted Tail, chief of Jthe Brule Sioux, arrived here to-day on a visit. He reports that his people are at home, and will not go out on the war path." Omaha, June 8. A dispatch received at.

headquarters this morning, dated Fort Laramie, June 7, says an Indian courier from Red Cloud brings reports that just before he leit, an Indian returned from the mouth of the Tongue river, who said he found there 1,173 lodges under Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, and others, who were on their way to Powder river to fight Crook. On his return he met the same band that Egan saw on May 17th. They told him Custer's troops had fought them all day, and that many were kilted on both sides. No result Is reported. This occurred about 8 days ago.

Army Appropriations. Washington, June 7. The House Committee on Appropria tions this forenoon visited the War De partment and conferred with Secretary Cameron, in regard to estimates and appropriations for the army. The committee subsequently completed the army appropriation bill, and will report it to the House shortly. It appropriates which is about $4,000,000 less than the revised estimates, and $3,500,000 less than the amount appriated last year.

The committee have embodied in this bill the provisions of a measure adopted by the House two months ago, reducing the pay of army officers. The committee' also insist on the provision abolishing the law which limits transportation allow ances ot officers, to their actual expenses, and restoring the old mileage system, with reduction ol the rate to eight cents per mile. The bill is understood to be, ia its present shape, satisfactory to the War De partment and to ail members ol the com mittee, ot both parties. "Western Union Telegraph. New York, June 7.

District Republican. Washington, June 7. The Republicans of this District, repudiating the convention held in March last to elect two delegates to the Cincinnati Convention, met to-day and elected ex-Gov. A. P.

Sheperd and Frederick Mr. Ran kin moved that Congressional dftleu-Ationa state their preferences for delegates at large. 1 1 Mr. Maxon said as there were only four delegates to be sent to St. Louis, only half ot the number indicated from the eight districts could be chosen Mt.

Rankin Baid- they could select from the filffht names the best ones. It was the way they; did before. Adopted, Then the places of the meeting of delegations were announced, and the Convention ad. journed to 3:30 P. M.

afternoon session. Convention met at 3:30. The Committee on Credentials reported by its Chairman, Air. Cottrill, showing a considerable number of districts unrep Mr. Rudolph moved that delegates chosen under the old and new apportionment in Trempealeau county be admitted.

Mr. Freeman moved to amend admitting those elected under the 'old apportionment- i i After the Chair said the ayes appeared to have it, a division was called for on this VOte. Pending the solution of this Knotty problem, Dr. Winslow offered a little soothing syrup, in the shape of an amend, ment, that those elected under the new apportionment be admitted. The chair held that this was out of order.

The amendment was then adopted. Dr. Winslow renewed his motion that the delegates under the new apportionment be admitted. Carried. While several delegates were being au thorized to cast votes for absentees, Sam Ryan moved that where there were va- cancies, the delegates present "be authorized to cast the iull vote of the district Carried.

Joe Rankin moved that the Secretary call the list of Congressional delegates, and name the-ir choice for dele gates to S. Louis. Gabe Bouck moved to amend by in. structing the committee on Resolutions to report. Mr.

Lees did not know whether the Committee was ready. If not he must oppose the amendment. Mr. Gray said that the Committee on Resolutions was ready to report. Mr.

D. uiton said there would be two reports, a minority and majority, i Curtis Keed saia ne thought that the Committee on Resolutions should report now, so there could be a lull vote had. If the report was delayed the Convention would dwindle down, and a full, fair ex- pression could not be had. John Johnston thought it was more im portant to have good delegates than good resolutions. Bouck's amendment was voted down by a very emphatic majority, and the Congressional delegations reported the following: First District N.D.

Fratt and F.W.Lyman. delegates, J. Huckett and Geo. Daubner, as alternate; S. A.

White, elector. ttecond District Col. Win. F. Vilas and Geo.

Delegates at Large Recommended J. li. Doo-little, Geo. B. Smith, Wm.

Dntcher, Ales. Mitchell, E. S. Bragrf, Gabe Bouck, D. G.

Fulton and Dr. Gailoway. The last was a blunder and it was rectified and changed when it was found that Eau Claire was not In the cm district. Conrad Krez wanted to withdraw his name, as tne convention mignt adopt a soft money platform, and if this was done he should resign his place as an elector. Applause.

He thought it best to with draw now. I The Convention refused to allow him to withdraw his name, and the men first above named were elected delegates and electors. Mr. Lees moved that James R. Doolittle be elected a delegate at large.

Mr. Rankin moved that the Secretary call the roll and each delegate name the four delegates at large that he preferred. Mr. Krez wanted to nominate Mr. Theodore Rudolph, of La Crosse, as a delegate at large.

In all those names rec ommended by Congressional delegates ne had yet to hear ot one Uerman. et the Germans furnished the Democrats half the votes of the State. The other men named were many of them generals without armies. I Mr. Ryan appreciated the gentleman's feelings, but was very much surprised that he should go to Switzerland lor a German.

Applause. Gabe Bouck said be was very much ob- ieed tor the honor conlerred on him in naming him, but he would withdraw his name. Cries of "No! no!" Dr. Anderson said his district had named a candidate at large, and it one was to be selected, he should be taken: irom a uerman uistriut. Mr.

Krez said he called the whole State of Wisconsin a German district. Ap piausel If the Germans wanted to nom inate a man from La Crosse, be would like to know what they were going to do about it. rApplause.l As to the remarks of Mr. Ryan, he would say that half the peo pie in Switzerland were Germans. w.

D. Merrill nominated uan Schmidt, of Sheboygan. The Chair said this was out ot order. Dr. Winslow said he saw no use of this, Theodore Rudolph then took the floor, and said with much feeling: Mr.

President: I wish to say a few words in this matter. I came to- Wisconsin before Mr. Anderson knew that such a a State or Territory as Wisconsin existed. I came In the early part of 1834. When I was old enough to amiiate with any party I became a Democrat, and have re mained wun that, party until now.

i nave asitea tor no ofllce. it is mven to me freely and nnsought, I will accept It. I am pleased at and prona oi tne nomination, out nave never aniea for it and do rot to-day To my friend who pro posed my name my heart is full of thanks for the remarks be has made, bnt I am very far irom the desire of being an apple or discord in this con ventlon. What we want is harmony and nnity and victory. I care not who carries ont our principles, provided they are carried out, and provided we fight the good fight and win the vic tory, no matter who the man may be who carries our banner, Applause.

1 1 1 eel that I stand aere without seeking tho position, without asking for It, as 1 might almost say, somewhat in the way bnt we are all Americans, I have been lou enough here to become an American citizen. hope to God I may die one. Applause. There Btiall be nothing ol a quarrel or of lighting amon ns. I lose no inecosuip irom onr cnairman thonch we are not very friendly, it is true, think his remarks were uncalled for.

If they had been made by anyiotber man, I would have paid nu attention to It. but for a man my own city. whom I pro; osed, I think that decency would nired that he should have let the bxlance of the deleeates examine my records Instead of him. Now. eentlemeu, I am not candidate to rn tha Convention.

I however, this Conven tion thinks proper to nominate me, I ahull ac cent, bnt 1 think they naa better conitne mem selves to the names already proposed. Ap plause. Dr. Anderson was surprised at this sudden thunderbolt. He said: I will sav in reply to the remarks made by the gentleman that I do not desire to take the time of the convention which I know Is neceisary for other purposes.

I shall mnke no reply. It Is evident from the fact that he has been in this convention that he is a good Democrat. I do not desire to criticise the gentleman, and shall not take up the time to reply, Rudolph's name waa, added to the list and on a suggestion that Eau Claire was not the 8th district, Dr. Galloway's name was withdrawn. Cottrill, with evident emotion nominated II.

L. Palmer as a delegate at large; Wall nominated Lalor, an Irishman, to offset Rudolph, but Lalor declined in one of the handsomest little speeches delivered during the convention, and some one nominated Ole a Norwegian, who declined, and Col. Robinson said as Gen. Bouck had withdrawn he would nominate Fred. This made the eyes of the Oshkosh statesman snap fire.

The roll was then called, and at its conclusion 31r. White moved that the candi dates receiving the highest number of v0ote8 be declared elected. Mr. Lees moved, to amend by adding whether a majority of all votes cast or not. Adopted.

It was then announced that allowing four votes lor each delegate the result stood: Total vote cast 947 Actual votes 237 Necessary to choice, 119 Theodoro Rudolph IV. 186 J. R. Doolittle 165 Geo. B.

L. Palmer 28 Wm. Dutcher 24 D.C. Fulton 24 Bragg had Mitchell badly beaten until the last few ballots, when Mitchell votes poured in surprisingly, and took him out ot the way of the gallant Fond du Lac soldier by two majority. Mr.

llurlbut moved that delegates re ceiving the next highest votes be declared alternates. Mr. Bouck declared emphatically that lie would not submit to this. lie preferred to be his own master. Mr.

Maxon moved that the delegates to St. Louis be instructed to vote as a unit. This gave rise to a very heated discuss ion. It was opposed by Dr. lluebscnmann, C.

D. Rodolpn, (who delivered a strong speech), Gardner, of Jefferson, and Hay-den and was sustained by Maxon and Lees. Dr. Huebschmnn" moved to table Max- ou's resolution, ana belore tne cmur announced the vote, a division was called. Convention refused to table nays, 94 ayes, 74.

many, Mr. uottreii movea to maen- nitoly postpone. Carried. ill. 11.

Gray sat on theplatlorm all tins time waiting in serene confidence to report the resolution of tha majority. It was a pleasing sight Here is a copy of the resolution approved by the anti-Ful ton portion ot the committee. Resolved. That as Wisconsin is bnt one of the thirty-eight States soon to be represented in tho National Convention of the Democratic party. wiitch it Is to be presumed, will express their political principles upon which the party should act; and as a declaration of principles of any one Stale, acting independent ol tne otners, is calcu lated to create discord: Therefore, the people's Reform party of the State of Wisconsin, represented in this Convention, do declare the following as the fnndamentai principle cf Its organization and action: Fidelity and loyalty to the Constitution with all its amendments; economy.

honesty, and purity in the administration of the Government; and demand that the delegates to the JNationai convention irom Wisconsin vote only for men who are the impersonation of these principles. And then Dr. Pease moved that dele gates at large be authorized to appoint their own alternates. Adopted. Gen.

A. C. Parkinson asked if two elec tors at large were not yet to be appointed. E. E.

Chapin nominated Jonn Liawlor, and Dr. Pease nominated E. S. Bragg, andt both were elected. Gray's time had come, and he cleared his throat.

Just then, at this supreme moment Moritz Napoleon Becker, of Milwaukee, rose to his tec and moved that tne Uon. vention adjourn tine die. Moses M. Strong rose to Ais teet, stated the Question, and in the twinkling ot am eye, betore tave uuon, u. n.

uray ana others, who had speeches and resolutions prepared, knew what had hit them, the Convention was declared adjourned Mine- die. It was busted forever, at 7 P. M. Blaixb's Triumph. A Washington special to the Inter-Ocean, says: Everybody is talking about Blaine's conquest, and now that the smoke has cleared away and the results of the fire can be seen, it ia generally conceded that not only have his enemies been discomfited, but Mr.

Blaine has risen lar highetr than ever before in the estimation of the people, and made himself even more avaiiab.8 as the Republican Presidential candidate than he was betore the 'investi. cation began. As Wilson, of Iowa says: We know lilaine now. we Know mere) is no uad aoout mm, ana we nave had plenty of chances to rind out what ia good in his twelve years' service, and, to put it mildly, we had better take him than a man who hasn't been tried by fire." The verdict on yesterday's transactions hati three findings: First, that the scene wasi the most remarkable known in Congress for a great many years; secondly, that Mr. Blaine redeemed himself from all suspicion of guilt; thirdly, that he has not only recovered all he lost by last week's embarrassments, but has crystal lized his strength, and greatly increased his chances of securing the nomination.

Married bt Telegraph. W. H. Story, the Sienal Service Operator at Camp Creek, Arizona, was married Monday week by telegraph, to Miss Clara Choate. 'The minister who performed the ceremony, with the bride's father and friends, was at San Diego, 650 miles dis tant.

Tho Delegates to St. XiOfiis Without Instructions of any Kind A Very Sudden Break Up. Dave Fulton Demoralized. The Democratic State Convention met at the Opera House, Milwaukee, at 12:30 June 7th. Dr.

Wendell A. Chairman of the State Central Committee, walked out on the stage and announced that the hour had arrived, and the Convention would pleasii come to order. Several delegates addressed the. Chairman, and D. W.

Maxon was recognized, who nominated Moes M. Strong for Temporary Chairman of fie Conventi on. lie was elected. Dr. Anderson appointed D.

W. Maxon and Senator R. E. Davis a committee to, escort Mr. Strong to the Chair.

Mr. Strong said that for the honor conferred upon him, he returned his sincere lhanks. He would discharge the duties imposed with impartiality. In reference to the objects of the Convention, it would be unbecoming for him to say anything. But as a delegate he would express his individual opinion, and say that it was best to avoid all subjects and discussions on which there was not a great degree of unanimity of opiaion.

They needed but few principles. Economy, honesty, and more especially now purity, were demand-, ed in public aflairs. With these, and devotion to the Constitution and all its principles', let us press on. Applause. Mr.

E. E. Chapin moved that Col. J. G.

Gray asked how it was possible to teli who were members of the Convention. He thought it best to wait until the Committee on Credentials reported. 'j N. D. Fratt thought it was jUsual to.

proceed in this way, and lie hoped the committee would be appointed at once. Mr. Bouck wanted to know if the pend ing motion was germain to the subject. Chairman (with emphasis) It is the opinion of the chair that the motion is germain. Resolution adopted.

Mr. G.E. Weiss moved that all resolu tions be referred to the committee without debate. Sam Ryan said he eame from a county that represented more by its actions than by its words. As Democrats and Rgform ers, they were ready to go to the polls on any issue against the Republicans.

He didn't care so much about resolutions. Back of all stood the people. Mr. White called the gentleman to order. Mr.

Rtan didn't know but his friend was one of these who was in favor of tak ing Republicans in, ad trying to make something of them. But he (the speaker) was anxious for the good old days of Democratic economy. Dave C. Folton thought the Convention was the place to discuss principles he hoped that a chance would be given to debate resolutions. Delegates should be given a fair chance to be beard on the principles A delegate moved to table the resolution.

W. Joe Rankin moved that a committee of nine be appointed to nominate officers for a permanent organization. A delegate moved that the present offi cers be declared the permanent officers of the Convention. The Chair put this question to a vote and declaring it carried, said that he could not improve upon his first speech thanking the Convention for the honor conferred.

Paris, June 7. The funeral of Moulin, the French Consul who was murdered at Salonica, and whose. body was brought to France, took place here The remains were buried at the expense of the State with great ceremony and military honors. Due des Cases and a deputation from both Chambers, attended the funeral. The Court of Paris has gone to England to bring to France the remains of Louis Phillipe, Duchess Anne, the Duchess of Orleans, 'Duchess' D'Aumale and Prince Conde.

The remains will be landed at Honfieur on Thursday, and will be taken to Treuax Friday, where they will be re-interred in the chapel built by Louis Phillipe for the burial of his family. The transfer of the bodies and their re-interment will be strictly private. Chevelier Negra, the newly appointed AmbaBsodor of Italy to St: Petersburg, has arrived at Ems. He had a long conference with Gonschakoff. It is believed that he has a mission in harmony with the: policy of England, that Gortachakoff will accept the basis thereby proposed.

The Russian and English Ambassadors in Paris had a long' conference to-day. It is stated the result is satisfactory. rThe armistice granted by the Sultan is due to the counsel of the European powers, who simultaneously instructed their representatives to Servia and Montenegro to promote the maintenance of peace. There is no intention at present of convening an European Cougrcts. It is expected that the powers, will consider themselves relieved of further responsibility in consequence of the granting of the armistice by the Porte, and will permit the Turks to deal with the insurgents if the latter refuse to accept the armistice.

Berlin, June 7. The official Russian Inzalide says: "The insargents are not likely to accept the armistice. Considerable uneasiness Jbas been created here by the sudden return of Bismarck irom protracted conferences with the Emperor. The uneasiness is increased by the announcement that the Emperor's departure for Ems is postponed. Rumor connects these events with certain exaggeiated claims on Germany for support by Russia, in her Eastern policy, which Bismarck, it is reported; is not inclined to sanction." The Cologne Gazette and Berlin Tribune deprecate a too close adherence to the views of Russia.

The Istak, the organ of the Servian Cabinet, declares war unavoidable, now that Turkey has rejected the programme of the Northern powers. Ragcsa, June 7. Prince Karageorgevic's legion defeated the Turks near Carkoviko, on the 3d of June, killing 160 men. On- the following day 2,300 Turks capitulated: Many 'insurgents havefetitioned Austria to grant them asylum, alleging that if they are refused they are in danger of starvation. 1 Vienna, June 7.

Un'WCCedented Scenes. The 'New York Tribune' Washington correspondent gives a column and a half of opinions of public men of both parties, on the triumph of Blainb in the House Monday, almost all regarding it a complete vindication, and a victory. We take the following from what the "Father of the House" says Mr. Kelley, of Pennsylvania, who has never been counted among the Blaine men, said that in an experience ot sixteen years in the House, such a scene as passed before his senses to-day had never occurred before. The day had been fuller ot striking; dramatic effects and universal sensation as manifested by the audience, than any day or night he had seen during his whole Congressional career.

I have seen," said he, "fellow-members denounced as traitors to their countiy, and expelled from the House with the utmost dramatic effect, everybody wrought up to the highest pitch of excitenent; I have seen the bill abolishing slavery in the District of Colombia, and all the latter-Constitutional amendments passed, when the floor, and galW-ries were in testacies of passion; I have heard reports read from the desk of great victories to our armies when every loyal tongue shouted with joy, and I have heard the news of the final overthrow of the country's enemies proclaimed in this hall, when people went wild; but 1 never beheld Buch a thrilling scene as this." All Right. The Senate Finance Committee, to which were referred in the early part of the session of the present Congress, certain charges of "crookedness" in the Treasury Department, and which has been investigating the same, reports that there is no truth in those charges. New York Not. The Tribune figures out that 13 put of New York's 70 delegates to Cincinnati will not vote for Conkling, and about 20 of those to St. Louis will not vote for Tilden.

ElTGalena, Tuesday, elected Dr. E. G. NeWhall for Mayor. He was the candidate of both parties; the son of an old pioneer physician a graduate of Beloit, and a very worthy young man.

BLAINE'S TONGUE A LASH TO DEMOCRATIC BACKS; Stirrinsr Them up' to Madness. A Snarl from Proctor Knott Serered by Sarcasm's Sword. The Treasury Investigation Shows Everything all Right. Xi il i fin Matters. A General Outbreak Probable.

The UsualEuropean Jealousies Blaine Business. Washington, June 7. In the Sub-Judiciary Committee, to day, Mr. Blaine said he would like to look at the record to ascertain when the sub committee was appointed. Mr.

liunton said: Mr. Frye or any other member has as much right to look at the book as any of the committee. Mr. lilaine Then If Frye can, I will. Mr.

Blaine walked over and took the book, saying that a question of veracity naa arisen Detween Mr. Knott and himself, and he regretted that' Knott was hot present. He wanted to exhibit to the world that the records show that the sub committee was appointed May 3. Mr. Tarbox's resolution passed May 2, while Knott had stated in the House that he ao- pointed the sub-committee long before the Tarbox resolution passed.

Hi committee examined ex-Senator Rice of Arkansas. N. S. Rice of Haver hill, ana William O. Howe, Land Commissioner, regarding Fort SmUh and Little Rock bonds, but they knew nothing of interest bearing upon the case.

1. A. lireen was sworn, whereuoon Mr. Blaine said he understood the committee were now going into another branch of investigation. nunton How do you know it Blaine You so stated to me yourself.

liunton Well, if you say I did, I presume it is so, though I do not recall it. Blaine said he had seen in the papers that this witness was going to be examined in relation to the transactions of him self (Blaine) with J. B. Stewart. He desired to have Stewart present when the witness testified.

liunton Do you wish Stewart sum moned? Blaine Yes, sir. Hunton Very well, it shall be done. Witness then testified that he resided in St. Joseph, and was acquainted with the business ot the Kansas Pacific Railway. Mr.

Blaine objected to the examination unless Stewart was present, but withdrew his objection to witness, stating that he would remain in Washington as long as Blaine or the committee should desire. In the course of the colloquy crowing out of the objection to the inquiry, Blaine said "I want to show that it is aimed at me, and that for a purpose." Hunton replied: "I want to say that when you charee that this investigation was set on foot for a purpose against you, you state what is not so. I want to make it thoroughly, and at the same time as kindly as it can be done." Witness then continued: In 1864 the eastern division of the Union Pacific Railroad made a contract with Sam. Hallett to build the road, and agreed to give him all their bonds and stock, and what ever else he could obtain for the road in the way of subsidies from Congress. Hallett took in as partners Perry and Thomas C.

Duiant. In October, 1864. Hallett turned over $250,000 of bonds to J. B.Stew art, the latter acting as counsel, and was the author of tue tenth section of the act of 1864, whereby. the credit of the road was strengthened.

While witness was testifying. Mr. Knott entered, and a spirited colloquy took place Detween mm ana limine, lilaine interrogated Knott, wishing to know why he had withheld the Caldwell telegram to this time, several days having elapsed. Knott answerea mat ne had shown it on Thursday to four or five Democratic col leagues, including the Democratic managers of the impeachment, and that he wishea to verity it. Blaine said that could be done by tel egraphing to ihe London office, and ex pressed his beliel that if the telegram had contained anything against him Knott would have given it to the public at once, dui ma ne naa aeiiDerateiy suppressed dispatch, which would have relieved hina from unjust suspicion, to which Knott said with much earnestness, advancing to mm, -wnat ao you say, sir? What do you say Do you mean, to say that I would do you an injustice? Do you mean to in sinuate that 1 naa irom a base motive withheld the dispatch?" To which Blaine replied, retaining his seat and looking Mr.

Knott squarly in the eye without flinching, "I believe the dispatch had contained anything damag ing to me, you wouia nave speedily made it public; that's what I say." "Very well," said Knott, looking furl ousiy at limine. Mr. Hunton called on both gentlemen to cease interrupting each other, as both wouia nave an opportunity tor explana uon. For about one minute the spectators watched with eagerness the scene, expect ing tvery mumsni 10 see me lie passed JAr. Knott, by his manner, evidently ex pected to cow Mr.

Blaine, but finding that he did not quake, he checked his wrath and resumed his seat. Mr. Knott then re sumed his statement, and tried to explain away nis action in noi laying ine dispatch before the full Judiciary Committee, but was pnea wun many questions by Mr. Blaine, to which he made ftvasivn minun and finally retired irom the contest very uiuvu wurmeu. Mr.

Hunton and Lynde then made ex- planations regarding their knowledge of the Caldwell dispatch. During their statements, Mr. Blaine interrupted fre queniiy, ana maintained nis aggressive position, to the very great discomfiture of tne Democratic members of the commit- then, at 1:15, the committee ad journed till to morrow.
