Charles B, Farwell, as shown by bis own atatement, telographed Inst ni%ht, did the firm great’ sorvice at much porsonal iticonyon- ionce, Ira Holmes and Charles B, Jenkins were brought forward to-day, tho former as tho holder of somo $72,000 in notes given by Me- Clelland to Georgo . Chittendou, of Chicago, and tho lattor s tho successor of DeGolyer in tho paving coutracts, After describing Mr. Chittondon ns ‘*a Chicngo gentloman, having ‘beautiful oflice, and who would put you moro in mind of the Lord Mayor of London thau any man you conld soe,” Mr, McClclland, the junior partner in the late firm of DoGolyer & McClol- Iand, to-day gave a very intoresting history. THE FIMM'S TRANSACTIONB IK WASHINGTON. From his statoment it would appear that in tho winter of 1872 Mr. George R. Chittenden, roprosonting that ko bad grent influence with tho Washington Board o Public Works, pro- posed to obtain lnrge contracts for pavement, and, in consideration of a third interest and the profits, to havo tho same assigued to Do Golyer & McClolland, In pursuance of an agrecment to that offect, thon made, Mr. Chittonden. came to the National Capital and persunded the Board of Public Works to award to DoGolyer & Me- Clelland contracts for the laying of 200,000 yards of woodon biock pavomont, ot $3.60 & yard. On the return of Mr. Chittendon to Clicngo, ho said ho must have $100,000 for tho oxponses ho lind boon put to at Washington, and a portion of it ha proposed to dovote to tho YAYMENT OF THE NATIONAL DEDT. ° Ho afterwards knocked off §8,000 from bis orig- inal demand, aod nccepted $97,000, of wh amount §25,000 was paid in cash, ‘snd tho re- mainder in notes payablo in from one to nine months, Thoso notes wero nlaced in Ira Holmes' bank for collection, Some of them were paid in cash ot maturity, and others wore givon up to De Golyer & McOlelland upon the asgignment by thom of stoclk in their patouts to Chittondon. At this point McClelland drops Mr. Ohittonden, and, until the lattor gontlemnn comes forwar ond finishes the narrativo, tho world must ro- mnin in ignorance of the charactor and estont of his influence with tho Washington Bonrd of Pub- lic Works, and likowiso os to the division of tho £07,000 received from Do Golyer & McClelland. Tt bins beon proposed to call tho Socrotary of the Trensury to ascertain how much of tho amount Mr, Chittenden dounted towards wiping out the nntional debt, but Mr. Richardson’s woll-known ignarauce of ' tho affaira of his office is likely to save him the indignity of again being summoned Dbeforo o committeo of Congrous. From THE TESTIMONY OF MR. JOUN 8, COOK, bookligeper for DoGolyers McClolland, it was learned that Mr. Chittenden Lud agreed to stand bobwoen thoso contractors and tho Board of Pub~ lio Works should any trouble “arige during the progrens of the work. Trouble did ariso, and of & vory sorions obnructor. oy, Shopherd, bo- coming convinced that the DeGolyor No. 2 pave- ment was not all that it had beon roprogented to him, vefusedto let the contractors ko ahend, and'is roprosentod a tolling Chittenden, who hiad beon sent for to INTENCEDE FOR DEGOLYER & M'OLELLAND, that ho would bo damned if they should lay any more of their pavemont on tho strects of Wash- ington, Ho kopt his word for quite a longtime; in fact, until tbe Hon. Churles B. Farwoll ro- moved' bis objootions, as rolatod by the lufter gontloman yostordny. Prévious to thie coming of Mr, Farwell, Ohittondon had employsd Con- rossman Parsous, of Ohio, thon Mardhal of tho upreme. Court, to tallc to' tho Board of Publio Works in favor of the coutractors, aud Br, Par- sony maunaged to INTEREST GEN. GARFIELD IN TIE J0B to somo oxtent, but how fur it is_not yet clear. "I'he quoation now ariges, 1Tow much did Chitton- don_divide of tho 897,000 with Parsons, Gar- fiold, and Farwoll, if any? Tho etubs of Mr. Chittenden's cheok-book will probably show, Mr., Cook, in his toslimony, statod that, had Do« Golyer & MlcCloliand beon ])m‘mltlulj to finish thair contracts, they would have realized n profif, aftor doducting tho §07,000 paid Ohittandon, of £823,000.

Mr. Chittoudon politoly but_firmly doolined to sy suything shout tho alloged payment of 807, 000 to him for securing tho contract for paving in the Distriot of Columbin, but stated thatsome oard ago, being imgrcuxud with tho value of tho Bo Golyer patent, No 3, from obscrvations of its utility sud_durability here, ho had asked tho firm 1f thoy had taken any stops to sccure ity introduction in Eastorn citics, Thoy told him thoy had not. * Aftor a conforonco with tho firm they had offerad him icmm"a:m) ono-third of tho profits on all contracts ho might sooure for thom ab the fast.

This was whoro tho heavy loss camo in. - Roportor—Dut as the price per yard was more than double what De Golyor hud raceived for the samo_pavement in Chicago, thero should still bayoe boon some profit left. Mr. Do Golyor—You must boar in mind that lumber in Wnn\unglcn was worth $22 por thou- sand foot, against 310 or 812 in Chicago. This ndds at lonst 76 conts por yard to tho cost. Then tnio cost of laying the pavement in-Washington was much groator than ‘in Chicago. Roportor—Is it now conceded thatthe ironized pavement is a failure?
