Bab- cock when 60 was hero last falf, probabiy.in Soptembor, juet bofora the Falr timo, with the Presidontial party, He gaid to me that he would probably want to send some lotters or packages through me to other partios. e did not say to whom. Aftor that ho sent threo lotters to mo, snd I recolloct, that 18, I supposo, ho sont them. [ got a lottor addressed to myaelf, with sunothor totter inshint. That waa s sbort timo after L s Gon, Babeock. The letter inclosed in mino was in o white onvelope, sesled and marked *'3’NONALD." ‘The note to mo in tho first lettor was simpl; “Dleaso doliver tho inclosed lotter to McDou- ald," and was signed ** O, E. Babcock,” 1 gave the inclosed lotter to MoDoneld, I think, at my office. A wook or ten days later 1 received Au- othior lotter throngh the Post-Offico, addrossed to me. Thoro was no note in it, but an envelopo, addrosaed in a different hand from tho first, to McDonnld, Thero was no noto to mo, but there was a piece of paper wrapped around tha onvel- ope. 0 third lettor waa just fike tho second, 1 dolivorod nll three of theso lotters to McDon- ald. YWhon ono of them camo he was not there, and, In tryiog to find him, I met his brother-in- Iaw, Tom Waluh, and told him, but I don't know what Walsh did.” CROEA-EXAMINATION. 0On tho cross-oxamination, Maj. Grimos said ho fad known_Gon, Babeook' persanaily and inti- malely, and that tuo Jatter had boen a good friond to lim. On one occasion, whon AlcDanald and McKoe woro voporied to be using their fn- 1lneuce to have him removed, because he would notput s man io the place that they wanted, Babcock promisod his influenco to provent the removal, Witness, in tho conrse of his examination, sald: “\Whon 1 deliverod these lettors to Me- Donald, I nsked him (McDonsld) * Did Dabcaclt bave anything to do with this Whisk: llluE LA and Lo sald, *Grimes, I don’t know—I don't be- liovo Lio knows auy mora about it than you do, ‘nng'you know you do not know anything about £ Enfl;hu direct examination, 3faf.

Engolle, tho rectifior, who gave an account of his onerations, referring particularly to the amounts of money raisod by distillors and roctitiers for Revonuo Ageuts to keep thom etlll, aud to obtalu infor- mation from them, all of which hns been ro- peatedly told, Witness slso testified to having soen in whole or in part tolegrams or what pur- orted to be telograma in tho hands of Joyce Pulormlng lilm of contomplated visits of Rovenuo Agents. Witnoss always straightoned up his houss on such oceasions, and it almost always Lappencd that agentu caine out after informs- tiou of thoir coming Lad been racoived. 11, C. IOGERS, Doputy Commissioner of Internal Revonuo, was then called, and tostifled that in_ August, 1874, Mr. Douglass, at that tima Commissioner, asked hum to correspond with Revenuo Agent lirooks in rogard to makiog an_{nvestigation of affaird 8t Chicago aund® Bt, Louts. Witness wrote Drooks, who came to Washinglon for consulta- tiou, Brooks wishod Revenue-Agent Hogo to asaist him, Ho waa written to. After conide erablo delay ho came to Washington, then went to Philadelphis to confer with Drooks. ‘Thoy retaroed to Washington togethor, aud aftor soveral days left sgain. Witioss said: About tho 7th of December Gon. McDonald camo to my room and stayed but a fow minutes, Noxt doy he camo iu and ssid: ‘*Rogory, I don't want you to soll me anyiling, but I want to tell %o“ something. DBrooks and Hogo are going to Bt, Louis on srec!nl business, aud I protest azatnat such scerot fnvestigation, If thoofficers thers are titto boin oflice thoy need no Investigation, If thoy ara not, thoy ought to bo removed.” Ithen telographed to Brooks to delay the uveatigation. W, O. Avery was at thas time Chiof Olerk of tho Intarnal Reveuno Burean. Irecelved lottars about that timo trom Mr. Brooks. Al tho lettors wera ad- dreased to mo persoually, as I intonded to DESTROY TUZ CORRESTONDENCE, it not being of » nature I wanted to go on file, Intho Iattor part of Novomber I received a lot- ter from Urooka. It roferred to tho coutem- plated inveatigstions West, and eald nothing about the delay belog a profit to the Govern- mont and eatisfactory to ourselyes, Mr, Doug- lass, the Commiesioner, showed mo a copy of tha fettor in his own handwnitiog, Tthiok Mr, Dooglass ssid his attention Lad been called to cortain objectionablo expressions in the lattor, sud he was cautloned to banaro of pestons who used such expressions, Bhortly oftor this Mr, Douglass informed mo that he would abandon the invoatigation. Witness was briefly cross-oxamined, but noth- Ing new broagut out. EX-COMMISEIONER DOUOLASS, J. W, Douglass, ex-Commissioner of Internal Revenus, was next put on the stand, and said : During 1873, 1874, aud 1875 thero were efforts copstautly mado to ferret- out the frauds that wore being perpotrated. Heveral Kevonuo Agents weoro sont to Bt. Louis in 1872, but 1 ro- coived o definite information from them. Later Brooke and Ioge wore sent out cspecially tolook tuto tho BDevis & Frazer's affairs, and toat Brm paid tho Governmant _ 40,000 as » compromise. \When I saat Joyco to Oalitorols, {6 was to get him ous of the way of tho agonts whom I ment hore, and who complained of an excersivo attontion on his part, wining and dining them, 8o they could not do any warfi. AMcDooald and Joyco nover camo o moe mo much when Lhey worn in Washington. 1 hind A conversation with Mr. Rogors in rogard to the Inveatigations in tha Weat, I remember showing a copy of a letter roceived batween tho 10th snd 15th of December, written by Brooks, saying that tho delsy wonld prove et}nl\ly profit- abla to the Governmont and gratifving to our- selvon, or something of that kind, Tle cony of the loter was ehown to mo at the Whitn House by Gen. Dabcock. Heo said n gone tlomsn had shown it to him, and ho was afraid I was boiog de. ceived by those men, Ha enid bo would hold mo reaponaiblo for theie conduct. I told him that I had groat confidence in the mou. Iie asid, \vhat might a sensitive man like Logan esy if bo saw that lotter? Uabcock told ma that'thy Jettor Liad been glven to him confidentially, nnd requeated mo not to eay who I received it from, After tha visit of McDonald to \Washington, I romomber of coming out of my houde one day, when I ot Babcock, aud wo falked about tho Bt. Louls mnttor. I can’t say e-actly what was maid. Wo talked about Rovenuo Agonts coming here. Onco ln 1874, Babcock camo to my offcs snd wo islked about tho supposed clarges ngainst Ford, who wans dead at that timo, I told him there woro no charges agalnat Ford, tbat the chsrges 1 was gotling up wero aganat tho living. He nsked what examination had boon maode, and esld eomething about blackening the memory of Ford. Tho only way a man's memory could ba blackenod, who ‘waa dead, was by an oxamina- tion afterwards. HBabcock came to eco mo about sending & bird—a thrush, I think —out Weat. Ho ouly camio to my offica ones or twico nltogother that I remember. Some two or threo monthe beforo Rlichardson wont out of oflico [ bad o talk with tho Frosi- dout, and told bim that things wore crooked in Ht. Louis, and I thooghtif A proper investiga- tlon wan made it would result largaly to tho benofit of tho I'reasury, He conenrred with me, and saked whon I praposod to begin. On tho 26th of Jauuary, 1875, I addressed a lotter to tho Becrotary of the Treasuryin regard to tho chango of Bupervisors, Tho rumors of fraud, beginning iu 1872, caused we to writo this lot- ter, Afterwards Scerotary Bristow came into tho oftice, and wo talkod tho matter ovor, con- cliding to walt untl tho fall ~ eloce tions “yero over. We waited, aud thon thero wore a number of Eonatorial elections, Wo had to wait until thev wore over. Then wo found that we were in tho midst of the Presl~ deutial election, aud that was another obstacle. After that we arravged to make tho transfers. mLuueru woro produced and read in regard to o [CIAKGE OF OFFICENS OF INTERNAL REVENUF, including Gon, McDonald to Philadelphis, aud Mr. Fulton ta Bt. Louls, Witnese proceoded: Aftor I addreesed tho et~ tora Lo tho Becretary, and the tranaters of the Supervisors wers mado, L hed & converuation with the dofondsnt. ‘Tho conversation commenced by him calling my attentiou to the subject. Ha told me it was an unwise measure, and would result bringing such a strong preseuro on the Preat deut that tho order would havo to be recalled, which would be unpleasant for mo. Tho con- versation was hold ot Babeock's room in the Whito Houes, Tho President was not present. 1 don't remember to have had any other convor- on with the defondact about tho ' matter. 4 transfor was to take placo on tho 16th of Fobruary.
