Swectal Dispateh to The Chicuco Tribune, RICHARDEON ON THE STAND, Wasmmiazoy, D. C., March 81.—1Tho Wayi and Means _Committeo to-day oxamined Scerotary Tichardson aud Commissionor Douglass in tho Sanbomn case. Tho npectaclo that was prosonted while Richnrdson was on_the stand waa a pain- fully bumiliating ono. Mo was asked to tell what ho know about tho contracts, and about Lis businoss; and it took him just about five min- utes to do it. Thon ho launohed upon tho botsdlesy gew 0f what ho dows Boc Kaiihy bl win pormitted to rotiro bofore Lo had fairly got out of hurpor. # DENSE 1050RANOE " is the term used by members of the Committen in sponkting of the display ho made. 1o luid alt the blamo of thoso frauds on Solicitor Banflold ; said that Lo only had knowledgo of tho fack that such a Jaw ind boen passed; ho know nothing sbout tho matter. Ho stated, in substance, that ho know littlo or nothing of tho current busi- noss of tho Dopartmont, suying that ho would nover seo a Jettor to him unless the clerks of Lia offico choso to Iay it beforo him. Ho recom- mended the immediate and unconditional repeal of tho Inw undor which the contracts woro au- thorized; and stated that, ns soon 88 he wos appriged of tho fact that this investigation was to bo mndo, he at ouco ordercd all oporations under tho contracts to ceass. Hoalso said, how- over, that he bolieved that the 50 por cont in tho cngo of the collaction made of the Delaware & Lackuwanna Railrond had beon paid to Sanborn aftor the investigation had commenced. COMMISSIONER DOUGLASS' STATENENT was moro satisfactory. 1o snid that, bLoforo this Jaw was passod, bo had $100,000 at bis dis- posal to pay out to porsons furnishing informa- tion upon which delinquent taxes could be collacted, buk that now tho business was mado a ‘monopoly in the linnds of threo porsons. Prior to tho prssngo of tho Jaw auy ono of tho 40,000, 000 of citizous of the United Btates could fle information, and roceive the paymont therefor in such casos. Io showod that tho officers of his Bureau had collected large amounts of delin- quent taxes in the rogular dischinrgo of their dutica, When asked what ho had to say in roply to the statoment minde recontly by Simmons that 90 per coit of this moucy collocted undor the Snnborn contracts would nover havo boon socured if these contracts had not beon oxocuted, tho Commissioner replicd that, unless the officors of his Bureau.wero either vory dishonest or vory oareless, tho statoment was iucorract. He touti- flod that HE WAS NEVER CONSULTED by Solicitor Baunflold or tho Sceretary with ro- ard to any of the contracts, and that under the filw nobody but the Commissionor “of Intornal Rovenue was authorized to order District-At- tarnoya to bring suit for the collection of doliu- quont Inloral Rovenuo canos, It will bo romombored that Bantleld ordered District-At- tornoys to begin suoh suits in Sanborn’s bohnls 5 Dt Douglass said that no notiso was ever givon Lhim of such notion, 1o.wrote a lotter on tho st of laat Oclober to the Secrotary of tho ‘Croasury calling thet gontloman's attontion to the anomn- lous stato of Ithlngt! brought about by tho exist- oncoand oporation of tho. obnoxious law, and the mannor it was earrled into offoct. The lotter ‘as kont to Danfiold, in whoso keeping it ro- mained untii after this investigation was sot on foot, when Banilold acknowledged verbully its recolpt, but utatod that in somo way it Lud beon mislald aud overlooked. ‘Commigsioner Douglass showed that 111A OKFICERS OOULD NOT PROCEED in any of tho cases set forth in the Sauborn cou- tracts, and thon showed that Banborn had put in his'contracks tho mamo of every reilrond in 1ho country, having ovidently taken thom from gome rajlvoad gazotoer. Ho also gavo it as his Doliof that iu mearly overy case roported by Sauborn, the information upon which tho report was bnsed had been obtained of intornal rov- onuo ofllclals and recards, Banborn and all of bia epies, it -will Dbe recollected, have boen going about armed with nuthority from the Beerotary of tho “rensury to_examine tlo rocmds in intornal revenus offices. Thue, whilo tho splrit it nob the lotter of tholaw forbid tho operation of the contract with Bauborn in any cake lu whiok the informa- tion was in tho handsof Government oflicors, yob Tichardson authorized him and his ‘snoaks to abtgin this information, and to use it in thelr own behalf, Inquiry was nover annde of the Internal Revenuo Bureau with regard to any of the losros roe:nrled-hy the * mystorious man," =T'ho wolght of Douglass’ tostimony, as woll us Tiat of Richardson, wheu it had any weight, was against the law, and going to show how unjust arbitanry, disbionest, nud oppressive its opora- tious have boen. : ¥IANK M, GREEN belng in the room, was called and examined on aath voncorning tho statoment mado in tholettor of the Dflpm.f'-CnHuclor at Indisuapolls, telo- raphed you last night, I1le donied flatly, sud i1 tho fullost possible mamner, the matorial alie- ations of the latter; but it was evidont that his fionxn\ welghed but littlo with lis heavars, Groen in a rosldont of Washiugton, and is somowhnt noted foy bis plous professious, His phylactories I““G bmn}}i and llx(u (n;cne ono of tho most elevated n Gon, Iloward's Congrogational syna, 3 o e Assoctuted Frass P ‘WasninatoN, March 81.—Thoe Committoo of ‘Ways and Means resumed this morning the San- Lorn inveatignation. 3, TOMARDSON'S TESTINONY, Mr. Richardson, Becrotary of the "Troasury, was firat oxawninod. T¢ wne his most posltivo opinion that the Iaw under which the Eanborn contrnots woro givon should be absolutoly and unconditionally ropenled, - 1fo said ke bind nover given any spocial considoration to the law Itself or to contracts whicl ind hoen given-ont undor it, but he bolioved that nll laws of ‘thnt chinrace .ter wore impolitic. - 1o bad never been consulled by his pretlecessor (l}ouhvull? in reforence to tho lnw_or to tho cobtracts, hut hoe was aware Boutwnll had rlways bed tho ssmo avorsion to tho lawas hohimsolt hed, Hohnd nover spoken with Snuborn about his contracts, and: had nover bean appronched by othor persons {n Banboru'a belslf, Ho know sbeolutoly nothing of tho details of tho matter, Any papors or documonts ‘which ho had signod woro sigiicd in tho ordinrry rottine of businoss without giving thom speoial nttention. o bad no recollection of hia intor- viow with Bimmous in Boston, in which ho said ho lind boen instruoted - to aid Banborn, but ho didn’t question the corrcotness of Simmons' atatomont in that conuection: 'Ho was examined at some length Ly momberaof the Gommittee,” but"ulmd little furthor light on tho Saubory mnttor, 3 5 Mr. Bock, of tho Committes, romarked in sub-- soquent procoedings that Lie hid-not prossed the Becrotary, becauso lio was ashamod of tho ignor- suce which the Socrotary manifosted. COMMISSIONER DOUGLAS TESTIFIES. Mr. Dougluss, Commissioner of Internal Rov- onuo, was noxt examined, 1o stated that lo lind nover beon consultod by tho Soorotary or Solicitor of tho Tronsury in rogard to the law or contracts givon under it, snd know nothing of tho lattor, unloss as thoy cawmo incidontally to his knowledgo in tho conrso of proceedings. Ho stated that delinquont incomo taxes, and lnfi:my aud auccesaion taxes, and taxes on railrond divi- dends, ute,, which aro embraced in tho Sanborn coutracts, wore all boing collected throngh tho rogular officers of the Internnl Rovenue Bureau, When these contracts wore made, snd whon the_instructions wore iseucd by INr. Ban- flold, Bolicitor of the Treasury, to Mr. Dliss, Unitod States District Attornoy at Now Yorlk, and to the Suporvisors aud Collectors of Internal Roveuue, directing tho lattor not to ro- coive paymont in tho cases cmbraced within thoso contracts, thoso instructions hnd not been issucd Dby bim, nor hud they evor beon commiticated to Lim, unless a8 ho lonrned about’ thom casually. 1o had then, on the 1et of Octobor, 1873, written o lottor to the Secretary of tho 'Wreasury in re- ard to theso fustructions, That lotter was ro- ‘erred by tho Secrotary to the Solicitor of the "Cronsury, aud bad nover beon snswered by tho lattor. "I'ho Solicitor had told him subsequently” that the lottor had got into somo pigoon- hole, or been mislaid, or been refor- sed to wome subondinate, 50 that Do (tho Solicitor) Lad not attonded to it, and had not anawoered it, and that he did not know how to answor it. Mr. Douglnes also stated that, ac- cording to his viow of the las, no sults could bo brought for tho recovory af internal rovenuo taxes oxcont by bit authority. Ha did not con- sider that tho Solicitor of thio Troasury had auy right to instruct Bliss to bring suits, as ho- had douo in regard to mattors undor tho Sanborn coutract, Ho (Douglass) bnd nover given such suthority, and had no knowledge of the, suits having ~ beon begun uotil - this investiga- tion hnd developod the fact, Ho was very positive in tho boliof that ihore wau nogmdifiloulty in having ‘all thoso direlict tnxes collected in tho regular vourso of busmess, aud, a6 to secertaintng the upaid logacy aud succession taxes, he oxhibited to tho. Commitiee a book in which Assessors wore required to keop tho records or all ostates of deceased poraons that were liable to taxation, He kuow nothing porsonally of John D, Coughlin, who hnd boon Assistant Assossor for the County of: Now Yorlk, but if that oficial had doue his duty faithfull; and kopt such book correctly, all the informas Lion i regard to \.:\paid—h%.wy AW succeasiol taxos wos in his hands, and in tbd hauds of the Internnl Rovenue Buroau, and :thers -was no difiicuity about it. Ho did, nob beliove in the policy of the law uuder which. the &an- born contracts woro givon out, It gave a mon- napoly to throo porsons, and tiud intoneillod the ‘menannees of the inforuior - and #py systom. He bad nover boan consulted about or asked to recommend the passago of such law, although he had been under the improssion that he knd beon callod upon by Sunbourn, and that Gen. Butler had rocommonded him, Btill, since v ing secn Hanborn lately, ho did not appoar tobo tho same porson whom ho had in his mind's eyo.” Douglass was _vory frank and expliclt in his statoment, aud appoarad to bavo mado o very favorable impression on the Committoo. FRANK M. GREEY, ono of Senborn’s agents, who oporated among Woutern railrond _cowpanics, positively denio the statomont contained in the lettor from J. M. King, Acting Collector of the Indiounpolis dis- trict, that ho had reprezontod himuelf thore as o specinl agont of the Treasury Department, and Lied denied all knowledge of tho “Sanborn con- tracts. Crcen said ho could not remembor that he had at ono timo stated that his lettor from the Hocratary of the Trensury was obtaiued by tho iufluencs of Gon. Butler. e THE TRIAL IN BROOXLYN, Speciul Dispatchto the chicaro Tribune, HBANBORN DISCHARGED, New Yonrx, March 31.—Tho shamoful conolu- sion of the Sanborn consplyacy trial to-day in acquittal by oxdor of Judge Bonediot, has orent- | ed intenyo teoling in the community, aud cursos, notloud, but desp, havo followed.

Counsol hold first, that thoro was no allogation in tho indictment that Sanborn, Huwley, and Vanderworker conspired with any othwr porson to defraud tne United Btatos; scoondly, that no offenso is chmged undor any law thot oxists upon the statute- ook ; tinrdly, that tho contract ia not sot outin the {ndictment ; and for theso ronsons thoy ab- joctod to tho admission of any ovldonco iuder the indictment regarding those points, as fnvelv- ing tost-quewtions. Thoy were so treatod by cotinsol on both nides. { TUE SUDOE, HOLDS that the contract which Sanborn obtained doos not Jiimt his right to » poriion of much of tho taxos theroby narnod as might be collected by his aid and thoronfter rondored, but that IIFOH the exccution of this contract Sanborn acquired ths right; to rocele, upon the collestion of taxes fuoludod in his contract, tho stipulated portion of Buch taxes, howover and by whomsoover col~ lected, Tho contract was claimed by San- orn, and wwarded by tho Socrofary, upon tho ground thob_ Sanborn had alrendy dlscov- ored the indobtednoss to the United States of tho pnrtios namod, and that those taxos wore being withbold. ~It, in expross torms, confors upon. Sanborn tho right to collect the tnxes due fro:n partloa designated by name, and it then exprously declares that whonover any monoy shall' bo_collected from the porsons named, oither by legel proceeding, conducicd by tho proper Unitod Stntes Attornoy, or by sottlo- mont, ns & compromiso of snid clims, thore shall bo paid to Banborn out of such monoy, an fast a8 collected, 50 per cent of the amount of which is nowhero in contract describod, a8 com- ponsation Tfor eorvicos to bo rendered in the cotlection of indebtedness which wns taken to have beon discovered by him. Such a contract does not support tho averment in tho indict- mont, aml, with such contract conceded, I am of opirdon that this prosccution must fail. The theory upon which the indictment ia framed dopends upon the misconception of tho &copo snd effect of tho contract, and tho error seems fatal to the charge 1n fhis indictment, Buch boing my opinion upon what is concluded to bo o decisive point in tho caso, I do nob consider other grounds of objoction. ‘Judge Benodict, on tho conclusion of his de- cisicn, ordoged tha jury to find a verdict.of *not guilty," which_was acoordingly done, and -tho dofondents and counacl recoived tho congratula- tions.of & laxge numbor of frjouds in court.
