March 13 The evidence before the Investigating Committee begins to look even worse for the President than was revealed by Orville Grant's admis sions. In a few hours a witness of high personal character will unfold to the Judidary Committee an account of the disposition by the President of a frontier post tradership. The applicant for this post informed the President that he bad the finest pair of Indian ponies that he had ever seen, and desired to make a present of them to one of the President's sons. The President prom pt-ly telegraphed the post-commander near the place where the horses were, to forward the ponies to him at Washington, and soon after this, the man got a post-trsdersbip, though not the precise poet be had been applying for.

The Judicary Committee have summoned General Kilpatrick to appear before them. It is said that he will testify as follows He received a letter from Butterfield offering him $20,000 to secure him a New York appointment. Mentioning the matter to General Babcock, the latter asked for the letter, and in a few daya Kilpatrick was surprised to find that Butterfield got the appointment. The election of a Democratic House of Representatives in 1874, says the Herald, now proves to be a national blessing. Not that the Democratic party is the custodian of the honor ot country, but that the existence of a powerful op position in Congress is necessary to honest administration.

In spite of this he still retains Shepherd in favor as one ot his most intimate 24.

He shocked the public sense of propriety by inviting to the White House, on a publio occasion, Harrington, the confedrate of Shepherd, a person then undergoing trial for felony, and never acquitted of the charge. 25. He consorts constantly with men of doubtful character, and still has among his intimates both Shep herd and Harrington. 26. In their defence he even went so far aa in an annual Message to understate by -several millions the debt of the District of "Columbia a gross attempt to deceive the pub lic which was immediately exposed in Congress.

He was a party to an intrigue whereby, his own salary was doubled, and caused it to be pri vately understood in Congress tbat the bill raising Congressional sala ries would not receive his signature nnleas his own salary was doubled. 23.

He did not scruple last year to crossly misrepresent to Congress and the country the condition of Louisiana- and other Southern States, in order that he might there by support nis corrupt personal ioi lowers there. 31.

While a Congressional com mittee was in New Orleans invest! gating the condition of Louisiana be violently toox matters in nis own hands and in their presence dis persed the legitimate Assembly oi the State Dy means oi me army. 32. He ordered his Secretary of War to send the approval of the whole Cabinet to Sheridan for the dispersion of the Legislature and his banditti despatch, though it is known that he did not take the trouble to consult any member oi the Cabinet in the matter, and tbat several members did strongly dis approve of these measures. 33. He refused to see or hear the committee which Congress had sent to New Orleans, and sent a message to Congress founded on assertions which the report of that committee of Congress showed to be false and groundless.

34. Thus he first insulted his Cab inet and then Congress in order to carry out bis personal aims, and sought, by artful misrepresentations and false statements, made wnen the truth was at his call and nn officially known to him, to justify a dangerous usurpation of power by the military and the prostration civil rule. 35. He endeavored to intimidate a Congressional committee into making a report on the condition of Arkansas. to subserve bis own views; summoned them before him told them what tbey ought to report, and did not even take the trouble to ask them what facts they had found in their investigation.

Fortunately, they were tooinde nendent to submit to his dictation 36.

He insulted the public sense of honor and decency by retaining Mr. Delano in office long after tbe grossest scandals bad been proved nrainst him and his subordinate in the management of Indian affairs and when at last compelled by the dread of losing an important elec Hon to dismiss him he gave him strong testimonial of bis character and expressed nis regrei at parting with him. .10.
