O, April 18.-Ex-Congress- man Kelsoy, recently comiected with the con- tracta to colloct derellct taxes similar to tho Ban- born contracts, was the only witness thet was oxamined this morning by the Commitice on Ways and Means. Ho drafted tho clause in tho Appropriation bill under which these various contracts wero made. . Ho had spoken on tho subjeot to various mombors of tho Ifouse Com- mittoo on Appropriations, Mosars, Dawes, Back. Niblaclk, and Hale, of Maino, but had received no sort of encouragement from thom, He had then spoken to Benators Cole, Logan, and, ho thought, Bawyer. Thoy were all mombers of tho Sona to Committeo on Appropriations. Ho thoug bt that somo of them favored tho proposi- tion, and he was not suro but that all did. Ho did mot recollect eposking to any mom- bor of that. Committce who did not favor it. o himeolf- thought it & good law, and had no hositation in pressing it. Ho thought that bofors its cnactment ho hod a briof conversntion with Assistant Secre- Lnr{l Richardson, and one or two conversations with Banfiold, Solicltor of the Tronsury. Ho bad also asked Beoratsry Boutwoll's opinion about it, and Boutwell bad told him that ho bind not much confldence in tho collection of taxes which the officers of tho Governmont biad failod to colloct as they became dus. Witness did not bellove that a propor construction of tho 1aw would nuthorize a contract to colloct legacy snd succossion taxos, bocsuso THEY WELL MATTERS OF RECORD in the Burrogate’s Couit, and the law only con- templated the employment of thess persons to aggist in the * discovery and collection " of taxes. Theso taxes could_not bo said to bo discovered, a8 thoy woro already mattors of racord, Ho tes- titled aleo that bofore tho passsgo of the lnw of 1872, ho hnd gone to tho Wreasury Departmont to make inquiries as to’ whethor nPrn-nxiaung Iaw to colloct abandoned and derelict property in tho Bouth could not be 8o construed as to bo mada to apply to tho collootion of dorolict taxos all over tho United States. Tho partios to whom ho traneforred his contract (Campbell, Elbort, and Closs) wore of opinion that this might bo dono oitber by THE INSERTION OF OMISSION OF A COMMA. Although he did nok agroe with thom, ho went, ab thoir roquost, to lnquiro about it, snd had _mot Bawyer, then o Sonator, in the Secrolary's offico, and Sawyer and himaclf had gons to tho Solicitor's ofilce to get Lia opinion on the sub- ject, but tho Solicitor's oplaion, like their own, was avorse toit, It was aftor that tho law of 1872 was got up. Ho donied that any porson in the Trensury Depurtmont had nng interest what- ovor in the contracts with which o was con- nected. - I'he Commitfoo will continue its investigation to-morrow. s at. bridgo, Apply to L PETRIE, Mr, H—I understood you to it A NEW INVESTIGATION, 168 Washington st basoments | are the cenn:pnnf}i‘nt of tho Su;g:;m \%‘:: “; Speciat Diepateh to The Chicago Tribune, FINANCIAL. lond.h:llprwulsntm omua-o;nmllz: you ha-n;nrfl:‘\'v' THE LEFTING OF rns-;fi. cax('m.mr:.d e AAAAAAAasAAARSAAARAAAAAAAs AasAnanaanns | AT quiro into your character; and, for tho ‘WasumisaToy, D. 0., April 18.—A great deal of YERCHANTS' EXCHANGE NATIONAL BANK | pusposo ot nl;flug‘{ho inqury, 1 dosizc 50U to | oxoltoment was occaslonod quito Juto in tho OF NEW YORK. e ihtos iy Gy l\::e'flnrrlbgto . ana | House procoodings by a passago-at-arma lotweon Obarteredin1829, Rcorganized in 1865, e g ! thot o antas | Pago and Luttroll, of Oalifornin.
