Marsh, the Canadian Wanderer, Again Puts in an Ap- pearanco. o Unfortunately Leaves 1is Memory Within the Confined of the Dominion, His Payments to Belknap He Thinks Wero Not Exactly on the Square ; But Then Ho Didn’t Suppose tho Curious World Would Make Inquiries, Pendlefon Explains, and RKakes Matlers Still Worse for Gentleman George. Tho Kontucky Bonanza Went Whore It Did tho Wrong Persons the . Most Good. That Battered Not So Long as Ilo Could Help Himself, 8o Ho Filled His, Pockots, Bought o Fow Kdoklmaoks, and Traveled in For- eign Lands. MARSH, THE WANDENER'S BETURN, Svectat Disvatch to The Chicago Tribune, WasuxaTox, D. 0., March 22,—Tho Bub-Com- mittoe, after the dismissal of Pendloton, oponed thio doota for tho examination of Caleb P, Marab, who waa In walting, Alarsh appeared i1l at case, Ho was caroworu and ombarrassed, and nervous i ‘monner, He made profoesion that he desired to stato the entiro truth, with. ont reserve, His testimony was not congtstont with his profossion, unless it bo tuat his memory is uolike that of tho majority of men, Ho could romember that ho was caroful to destroy overy shrod of paper which could sliow a diroct covnoction with tho lato Becrotary of War, but ho could not remomber tho slightest dotail, or evon the subjoct-mntter of tho most important conversations with QGen. Bolknap, Marsh admittod hia teatimony before the Clymer Committee with ona inconsidorabie excoption. That excoption was an incomplete phrasa which was omitted from the printed roport. The phrago waa that Bolknap told him that he would appoint Evans if Marsh would withdraw In his favor, ‘Tho direct testimony tlon began. Marsh's attention was firat called to TILE TRADERSHIP AT FORT BILL Mrs, Bolkoap. Ehe sont for him to coma to Washington. Gen. Belknap know nothing about it, Marsh camo to Washington and saw tho Belkuaps. Ho was then interrogated as to each of the natomonts in_his testimony boforo tho Clymor Commuttoe. Belknsp told Muarsb to got the letter of rccommendation. Mombors of tho fommitteo atated that loitors wero on filo m bebalt of Marsh from Job Bioven- 1on, ex-tmembor of Congresa from Ciocinoat, snd from Seuator Bhermon, Marsh olaimed to bavo great difilculty in remombering dotails, na {he transnction occurred so many yoats ago, and bad never charged bis mind with it. Marah said Belknap did not imagino that he (Marsh) was Lomg to ruu the post himsolf. Marsh went to Evans, and the Iattor agraed to give him 815,000 snnunlly 88 a boous, Dlarsh then wont to Gen. Belkuap.and askod bim to ‘n‘{molnt Evans in his placo. Tle Bocrotary eaid shat Evans was s good man, and 1T WOULD BE ALL RIGHT. Marsh declined to admit that ho told Delknap ansthing about the bonus offorod by Evans, Marsh appeared surprised that any oxpross pack- sgo copnected with the first transaction was Jent dirootly to Gon, Belknap in peraon and re- eelpted for by bim, Tho witooss was embar- mssed and confused, but did not appoar from his manuner whoth« » ho was shieldin Gen. Bolknep ot waa in fact surprised. 1o sont balt of tho Brat money receivod to_Mra, Bolknap, but sont it a8 n presont only. _Ho imaginod Mrs, Belknap horsolf was unryrmd at it. Morsh himself was wrprised that Evans bad soot him money, a8 ho e not cartain that suything could come out of the motter, Prosumod ho may have told tho liret Mrs, Bolknap that ho woul MAKE HER A PRESENT, but could not even remomber that. iis most Isvorito answer wne: * By impressions upon Shis subjeot aro really very indlstinct.” The ?nmarly paymonts from Evaus continued for wo and a baif yoars. Blarsh sent the maney to DOen, Delknap by expross, and sout to Belknap tho express roceipts. Belknap roturnod theso geoeipta with * O, K.* written upon tlem in tho bendwritiog _of Gen, Dolknap. Theso cer- lificatos whon roturnod wers dostroyed Marah. Bometimos Dolkuap telograph- ®d an Iacknowledgment of tho receipt pf moncy. Once Marsh bought Belknap & Gov- emmont bond at Dolknap's roqueat. Witness had beon careful to dostroy all tho correspond- anco with Bulkmf‘. He would not, howover, pwear pointedly that bo ever recoived a single Belogram from Balknap. Marsh at ovory stago of tho procssdinga MANIFESTED GREAT NERVOUBNESS. Plareh at ouo timo had a convorsation with Gen, Belknap about tho articlo exposing tho Fort Bill xffair, published fn ihe Now York Tvibune in 1872, iknap asked Marah whethor ho bad such.

Could bot xecotiecs tho details of that conversation. 1o aeld that [t seemed to him that ho told Seo- retary Dalkuap that he bad a contract with Evans, but did not think he told him anything about tho charactor of the contract, . Remem- Lers that the noxt (ime ho esw Bol- knap, aftor tho ariicle A“pouad in the Tribune, he (Bolknap) asked if he bad n contract, Ho prosumens that at tho samo timo ho talked with the Bocretary about the Zribune articlo.

Hoar, mot this evening at the residence of Gen, Hunton to examino Goorge H. Pondlo- ton acd Caleb P. Mnarsh. These names, by rosson of the slmilarity of the aota with which both sre charged, appesar.in the same connoction. This oxamination of Pondlo- ton was conducted secratly. It is ascortalned, howovor, that his _tostimony was in substauco thiss At the timo Pondloton collocted tho claim of the War Dopartment of $148,000 for the Kontucky Central - Railrosd Compsuny, tho rosd did mnot n fact bolon to tho Bowler hoirs, for whom ke was administra- tor, and who woro supposed to have ownod three-fifths of tho rond, nor to thoir associatea 1 that coparinersbip, On the contrary tho Courta on final appeal had dooided that the road DID NOT BELONU TO NOWLER AND IS UEIRS or agsoointos, but to the countlos in Kootucky through which tho road ran. Tho onso waa atill ponding, it is true, upon a tecbnieality, but to il Intonts and purposos the Court had de- cidod upon tho merits of tho case tiat the road did not belong to Bowler and his assoclatos, although™ they still held it in possassion. Yo, notwithatanding this finnl adjndication, Pondloton collocted this claim, and did not account for it to tho counties of Kentucky to whom tho road belonged, but iu fact keptthe knowledge of its collection from tho rightful owpers, while giviug nbout 801,000 of the $148,000 to thoso who did not rightfully possoss tho rond, Tillg NEW REVELATION astounded tho Committee not less than tho original knowlodgo of Poadloton's transnoti From it 1t appoara that Pondloton and hia cintes had no right to tho monsy af o but that it belonged, it to " anybody, to tho countios of Kontucky whlol,a tho Courta had declared owned tho roads. Thls new fact may porhaps oxplain tho indifference of Pesidioton’s sasociates in the Company to the porcoutage he raceived, or tho amount he choso togive to those who managed the road. #em- dleton relterated, in tho most emphatlo lan- uage, that ho nover pald Mra.
