He relatod o conversation with Gon. Bioklos, who thought tho result conld be offooted for 830,000 Dby the passagoe of two bills—the Classification Topoal Bill aud tho ono known as the Attorney- Genoral's bill. Witnous told Bicklos ho was mis- talion as to what was thol‘:olltlcnl power of the Btato of Now Yorl, and that if he ‘attompted to dofont Jay Gould through o faction of the Re- publican ‘party ho would find ho had beon absent from = the country » long while and ad lost track of the elomonts of power; that tho custom-houso pmé had just triumphed Dy fow votos in elocting Henry Bmith Bpoakor, but that tho real pawer in tho Houso was the fagtion led by Gov. Alvord, Ho then nppoared yory anxious “to conciliato tho Fenton-Grooloy faction, and urged that they should shako looso from the Gould party, and adopt & uniform plat- form, go in for im;mnobmnnt, oto,, tuko the wind out of tho salls of tho other faction, nnd, with tho bannor of roform borno nloft, maroh on to the turning-out of tho Gould Dircctors, and thus provo tho purity of tho Ropublican party. He &nid this would bo good for tho party and good for tho country. Ho thon dosired o to como horo, and have o consultation with Gov. Alyord and othor londing men, among thom o Hooator Bon, Field. I camo horo from Washin, ton, saw ox-Sonator Ilamsoy, and assured him that no monoy was to be ueed improporly. I ro- goived monoy from tio to time to puy cxponson, but not & cont to usoimproporly, First, I saw Gov. Fonton In Washinglon, aud ho approved of tho mattor. Thon I saw Alvord horo, and he was rcady to moet and co-oporate with Gon. Bioklos, Thnt gentloman camo horo aund they conferred. Thero was dificulty at the start which I had anticipated, Gen, Barlow and Gen. Sharpo appoarod to want to monopolizo all tho reform. Thoy did not wantto take hold of the Attornoy-Gouoral's roform. Thogo matters wore going on when tho coup d'otat took placo. I re arded my mingion to be to work out & gront po- fitfenl Tomult, and Gon. Sicklos, with his dispogition to benefit tho country; always had that object in view. I hoard Con. Biclles say not one cont was to bo uscd, excopt it was to lire counsel, ' Mr, Babcock—Did ho not expect money would Do improperly used by others ¢ .

Clon, Sickles never in- timated that money would be used for that pur- p080. r Mr, Babeock—Did Gon. Sickles over tell you :\ilmt he porsonally oxpected to gain by Lisac- on. Witness—Well, that is a question which I don’t think the Commiftec ought to pross, 1t is going into private professional mattors, which have no connection with corruption and wrong. Thomas C.

Bioklos camo horo through tho last witnoss, and intimatod that ho wantod & confor- onco-with mo, Xsnid I would meot him with loasuro, as 1 was an old acquaintance of his. F tho conterance thoro was nothing said sbout. Erio mattors whatovor, oxcopt perhaps an inci- dental remark conterning tho Attornoy-Goner- al's bill. As to tho Olassitication act, evdrybody know my views. I said to Sicklos that I was de- cidedly opposed to tho Attornoy-Goneral's bill.
