Sanderson, of the firm of Barlow & Sanderson, Western mail-contractors, was before the Homse Com- mittee on Post-Offices snd Post-Roads to-day. Hoisa robust liltle man, with iron-gray bair sod whiekers, and like all the other interested parties in the Western mail-contracting business who bave appeared beforo the Committee, was well dressed, and wore s profusion of good jewelry. Ho had the sirs of a man weil-fived for tagh, and complacently told the Committee that he knew nothing in the world about bis business, and asked no questions. He 8woro that be never put [n a straw bid in bhis life, and never knew of any being put in; never paid any money to any one in public position, directly or indirectly; never gave a present, nor knew of one being given by or or account of lus firm. He said that he pever, told a Mr. Danforth that his firm gave money or presents to gresse partics in ashington. He pever knew that Barlow, Lis partoer, zave $40,- 900 to suppress an investigation in 1872, and NEVER CAMED WHETHEL HE DID OR MOT. He swore that he never looked into his books In his life, and did not know what the firm made. Never knew their income, and never cared. He and Barlow never settled in their lives, snd never cared to. Never know anything about Washington affsirs, and never cared. Had tho utmost confidence in Barlow, snd never asked sny questions. Was alvays sstisfied with what bedid, andits resolts. He said when Danforth was coming to Washington ho showed a letter to him summoning him. and asked him what to. do. Sanderson told him to ®0, whes Danforth eaid he bad no monoy. Witness enid it was not bis place to furnish it. Taere was nothing in the testimony of importance, except s it shows the absolute ignorance of all thess principal West- ern mail contractors abont their own basiness ©r its resources. {To the Associated Press.} BANDELSON'S TESTIMONTY., WasemsaroN, D. C., April 1.—The House Committes on Post-Officos and Post-Roads to-day examined J. L. Sanderson, of the firm of Barlow & Sanderson (formerly Barlow, Sandor- gon & Co.), Western mail contractors. He testified that he never made & stiaw bid, rever caased one to be put in. and bhad no knowledge that any member of the firm had ever made One: pever paid money nor made & present to the Post-Office officiale, nor never knew of any member of the firm doing such & thing. Being questioned with Teference to the testi- Imony recently given by S. A. Danforth, of Chi- €ago, Sanderson declared that nearly all of Dan- forth's assertions _ WERE, ABSOLUTELY FALSE. Witness had nover been_s room-mato of Dan- forth. Witnees sllowed Danforth to occupy part of their office building in Kansss City, at the re- quest of the Railroad Company, for which he (Daoforth) was nEenL but never talked with him about the firm's businese, except that possibly he may have becomo » bondaman of some bid- Qer sbout 1870, In May, 1875, Danforth showed ‘witnese in St. Lonis a lctter from the Postmastar- Gezorsl, asking him (Danforth) to farnish in- . formation sbout their contracts, and ssked wit~ Bess what he should do. Witness replied he onght o go fo Washington and tell anything he knew, adding that he (witness) had 10 objoo- tion. Thereupon Danforth said he hsd no money for the expensos, to which witncss re- 4oined he bad pons to lend or give him. Sa l‘l\tmn, being interrogated concerning Dan- forth's ststement that they had burned the ky, explained that thn_gookn, papars, eic., ie‘h!u:g to theold firm which hal bsen closed d_accomulated, and that, their offics bainf small, and frequently moved &s the railro: terminus advanced, his bookkeeper suggested tbat 4o old rubbish shonld be isposed of, He ‘Washington attorney whose name has figared 80 prominently in connection with obtsining a post-tradership from Gen. Belknap, was ex- amined to-day before the sub-committee of the Committes on the Judiciary. He gave the his- tory af four post-traderships in Texas and Kew Mexico which he had pro- cared from various pariies. His compen- sation varied. From one person he got $2,000, from another $5,000, from & third he got one-half of the net profits, and from the fourth he got one-third of the net profits. He and Gen. Bolknap had been residents of Keolmuk, In., bad served togethor in the War, and were on friendly and intimate terms. . Hence his suc- cess in getling those appoiotments. He de- nied that Gen. Belknap knew anything of the money which he (Rice) received for these ag- poinzments; that ho had never given or loaned {except to gome trifling amount which had been alwaya repaid) monoy to Belkaap, and had never given him any presents, except herhaps some wine and cigers, and & small wedding present to bhis wife. % + SCHENCK. 3 Counse! for James E. Lyon read to the Com- mittee on Foreign Affirs to-day a statement in bebalf of his client in which it s said that the charges in the preliminary statement of Mr. Schenck, that Johuson and |Lyou were men of infamous eharacter, sud unwoithy of credit under onth, were wantonly made, and utterly unbocom- ing a man who had occupied lhigh positions of trust and Lonor and the confidénce of his coun- try. Another statement tha} Lyon had sb- sconded from England, is promounced false, and proof chatlenged. Lyon whs then cross-ex- amived . at length by Chittenden, couansel for Gen. Schenck. Befose the statoment abovel alluded to was received, Alr. Faulkner, other. inembors of tho Commitfen consenting, and thb counsel for Lyon not objecting, struck from if il the purely personal references to Gen. Bchonck, and chauged the challenge to prove tp mere demal. Other clangos were also made. | The records of the Land Oflice show that the patent for the Emms mine was ltlim:d the 24ta of August, 1871, in regular ofiice Lours, and in accordance with papers properly prepared, and such us are duly required in ail casss of issuing patents for mineral lands. 1 2'DOUGALL.

AMisg Cook scted 28 clerk for Smith while ho was Ament for the Chippewas. It was not true, as charged, that Smith bought scrip from tho In~ Gians for the purpose of speculation with Gov- e:nment supplies.

Information received by the State Dopartment justifies the conclusion that the British Govera- ment has fully decided not to surronder Wins- low, the forger. The British authorities are very guarded in their answers to the dema: mnrge for lis surrender, and do not make a posi: tive refusal, but say that they do not see how they can, under the act of Parlisment of 1870, surrender Winslow, unless the United States givo & guarantee that he will not be tried for any other offense than the one set forth in the extradition pspers. Under the British laws the criminal will be held for & period of sixty days from tho 215t of Alarch, and can then demand to be released under & babeas corpus. If Winglow is reloased from custody, the extradition treaty batween the two nations will undoubtedly be terminated. POSTAL TREATY RATIFIED. .

Dinz is on the edge of the town, snd an attack is oxpected. Another Bpecial to the Netws from Brownsville, April 1, says: ** Night before last Mr. Susten- dalo, an Amorican citizon uged G0 years, was taken to a fort in Matamoras, and pliced on the top of the parapat wall. In the event the revo- lutionists made an attack he would bave beon nearly between two fires, and would certainly have been killed. Abount 11 _o'clock at night Consul Wilson went to Gen. Laburra and de- manded Sustendala's instant release, and the de- mand was complied with. 'L'o-day orders were received from Washington, at loastitis so reported, and Coosal Wilson camo to this bank. Veryeoon the Rio Bravo stesmed up, crossed the river. and mado fast to the Mexican bank. This was about 4 o'clock, Tho steam isunches are policing the river. Soundings have been made. 1t 18 reported thot tho President Lis directed that foreign resmdents of Alatamoras shall be protected against the exactions and_oppressions of the Mexican authonties. Foreign residents of Matamoras now in thia plecy are bighly de- lighted. A goodly number of them live on the river bank. “They_suy Gen. Labana will get no more excopt from Mexicaos. Late in the evoning tho gunboat steamed np to the upper edge of Matamoras, and came to anchor. Expectations of brisk times on the otber sido are great. Tho order sbove mentioned camo directly to Capt. Johuson, and dirccted him to proceed im- modiately to Alatamoros and 2ssist the Consul in giving protection to Awmerican citizens. 'wo aays since & doputation of foreigners re- siding in Matamoras waited upon Gen. Potter, and requested bim to take steps to protect them from outrage.
