He thought the proposed seotlon a judicious one, and would therefore support it,” Ho hiad no judgmont to oxpress in regard to the oharacter and conduct of the firm of Phelps, Dodge & Co., montioned in the courso of the aiscussion, but. wished to lay be- fore the Sonate cortain facts which would justify what was done in xeferenco to the claima the Governmont mado against that firm, The vine dication of the courso of the Administration was of more consoquence than the vindication of any privale person. One who had been em- l)loyed by tho finn went to tho Speclal Agent of he Dopartmont and Inid beforo him what he onlled ~ evidenco of the uudervaluation of goods imported by the houss of Phelps, Dodge & Co. Ho submitted documents to tha Agent, and when these doouments weore compargd with the books of the fim, tho evi- douce was conclusive, No matter what tho motive was of the person formerly omployed by the firm. Tho Agent of the Dopartment never hiad sny knowledge of the relations of that clerk with the bouse until after tho evidence referred to was prosontod. Ho (Boutwell) advised Mr. Dodge to go into court, whero his testimony could be hoard, snd if it sbould then turn out that thore was no intentional violation of the law, ‘tho Becretary of the Trensury authority to romit the penalty, in whole or in part. hore was no pressuro brought by the Troasucy Dopart- ment upon this house, but, on the contrary, the Departmont dolayed and postponed to obligo the firm, Eminont counsol was employed to represont the house, He did not believe Dodge wag himself responeible for the fault, but there was o mystery conneotod with tho transactions of tho firm, "Thoinvolces giveu at tho Custom- IHouse did not conform to those on tho privato books of the firm, The Troasury Department did, from tho boginning to _tho end, delsy and postpone the payment of this monoey, to sult the conveuionco of tho firm.
