Spectal pupalch to The Chicago Tribune. ‘Wasmixoroy, D.°C., April 15.—Gos, Babcock I8 either the viclim of misfortune, or he is re- ceiving the penaltics of personal and official misconduct. He was to-dsy indicted for alleged complicity in the safe-burglary affair, apd with bim as alleged co-conspirators, are Richard Hurington. Hiram C. Whitely, Ichabod Net- tleship, Thowas P. Somerville, Geo, E. Miles, aliss Bliss, alias Williams, and Walter Brown, aliss William Benton. They areall indicted on the charge of baving on the 17th of April, 1874, conspired to injure and oppress Columbus Alexander, and that in purenance of said con- spiracy they did procure said Brown and the emd Mites to break and enter the oftice of the Attorney of tho United States for said Dis- brict, and to take thorofrom two books of one John O. Evans, and to carry them to the resi- Sence of the eaid Columbus Aloxander?' The witnessos are A. C. Richards, Albert Cunz, A B. Nowcombe, O. D. Madgs, Joshus Parker, E. C. Barfield, Michael Heyes, avd Columbns Alexander. Of the indicted persons it is under- stood that Whitely, Nettleship, and Somerville Savo THE ASSURBANCE OF DMMUNITY +£om the President. Milea is undergoing a sen- tence of fourteon yoars in the Vermont Peni- tentiary for robbing the Bsrre Bank, and tho whereabouts of Banton, one of the burglars who broke the safe, are unknown. The endless aspersions which bave besn made upon the charsoter of Gen. Babcock in_ this connection will now be proved o bave been justified or eroundlees if there is a fair trial. There ia rea- 500 to balievo the juries in this District and in connection with this vers matter have been packed. But thero are £o many eyes watching mow that a fair trial may be anticipated. ‘The eage will pow be’ remitted to the courts, and tho Congressional Committee will have little further o do with it. It isreported thas EARSINGTON HAS ¥LED THE COUNTEY sudis to bo supported by voluntary contribu- tions during the ssven vears of his_enforced sbsence. By that time the etatate of limitation will have run ooi. Moanwhils the latest story of Whitely, the ehief detective, will bs of in- terest. In an interview to-day he is reported as baving said, among other thin; this: He gve the followng parti concern- ing Gen. Babeock's relation and connec- tion with ‘ex-Solicitor Banfieid, and Bluford Wilson, “the ., present _Solicitor o the early part of 1874 Banfield was supposod to be friendly to Bab- sock, and the otber alleged leaders of the safe- burglary conepiracy, but &t last when, for cer- lanressons, President Grant inkisied on Ban- Gald's removal, Babcock, mccording to Col. ‘thul‘ ly, stepped in and begen lsying his plans or DECEIVING BLUYOED WILSOY, ®hohe knew wzs to be Banfield's successor. Whitely'a narration is as follows : + Banfield was not inZgood fellowship at the White House when tho conspiracy first com- fenced. Itbad been reported in New York that hewas intimate with veople known to be unfriend- Iy to tne Administration. Fiaally, when the nafe-burglary job came up. and it was known that a changs was to be mads in the Tressury, T sxw the pecessity of keeping Baafield there, I went to Gen. Babcock and told him that itwonld Dot do to bave a new man in the Solicitor's De- artment. The Genersl replied that the man loford Wilson, whom they i was all right ; that a brother of his had pre ously eerved with him (Babcock) on Gen. Grant's stsff. and -he knew that he conld be bandled. But the truth is, Bluford Wilson was NOT HANDLED WOBTH A CENT. slthough Babeock tried very hard to influence im. Whenever I would have any talk with Baboock on the subject he would say, * Every- thing is_working all right.” I had at least twenty different interviews with him zbout tho safe-burglary matter alone. Ile knew more sbont it than I did or doeven now, simply be- tause he wasconcerned in it. He hsd a deop interest in it, and I had nope. Neither myself Bor my men ever owned s piece of land in this District. The whols point, 80 far 88 our coppec- tion goes, lies simply here. Both myself and 1y men wers officars of the Government, acting . UNDER THE INSTBUCTIONS OF GEN. BABCOCE, ad we had to obey his order. Anything that he Tequired of us bad to be dove. Ho exerted a great influence over the Secret Service by reason of his position. The character of his ordera was Dothing tome. 80 Jong 8 they came within oar Department, our business was to obey. As Buperintendsat of Grounds and Public Build- ivgs. and as owner of much property in the District of Columbis, Gep. Babcock was grostly concerned in the investigation thon going on. The Secret Service officers in no way knew either Harrington or Alexan- der, nor any one of the memorialists. They were simply agents of the Government aering nnder Bakcock for his own purposes. { might add, Idon't think that Attorney-General Will- iams or the President had snything to do with the couspiracy. 1f Williams was used he was used unwittingly.” ‘Whitely, in the same interview, makes this cu- rious statement : ‘*About & year before the safe-burglary oc- curred, there was a movement on foot to bring Dana to Washington, and Herrington wanted me to put up the job. I think 1t was the very first time I ever mot him to know him. He wanted me to invent a plan to get Dana to come to Washington. Babeock consuited me about it at the same time I went to &ee him in reference to it at his roquest. He 6aid that if I could gat the 0ld scoundrel over hers he would put him in the Penitentiary. _They took me down to Shop- herd's office, and Babeock tald Shepherd thet I ws ' _ THE RIGHT KIND OF A MAN to get Dana here. Shepherd turned around when Babcock s2id this, and replied that it was 8 matter that he did not want snything to do ¥ith, Babcock said: *Well, if Whitely can get Dana over here, X will put the damned scoundrel in the Penitentiary.’” Tho fact that Babcock used the detactive forcs of tho United States for it cwn personal benefit shows that he is just the kind of msn to be it the burglary con- tpiracy. He wanted to mse the secret service force %o kidnap men whom ha did not like with- out expending a dollar of his own_money for it. 4 am sausfiea that tbere are detectives em- DPlosed now to manufacture evidence to_bresx e force of the testimony to bo given in the coming gafe-burglary tnials. From informa- tisn Fhidxlhl‘:‘;gr:xi\'ed I beliove that Bab- 20ck i already at work g by means of his peculiar devices. It has been Mid that I was paid to come before the Com- mittes in this caso.

As the statute of Limit- Ations would expire on the 23rd of thia month, 1 was to be dropped right into the pit 20d left to &et out the beat way I conld. Then I resolved o give the trath to the country and save myself. * Upon thia same subject Salicitor of the Treasary, 1s sope r of the Treasury, 18 reported as aayi: Eaboock tried to throw him of the ireg of the burgiars, and to make " him k that Whitely was telling the trauth, and ‘motking but the truth, Wilson was invited to goto xfiknmm and he went, and was reatod well, and heard the friends of the safe- ' rascality behind the protests of innocence. The ‘Solicitor bad much to contond with. Whitely was throwing sand in bis eyes, and Babeock was trying to hug him from . Mr. Wilson went to Canada and secured evidence that was the entering wedge, and resulted in couvicting and sontencing several of the leading actera in the burglary. KILBOURN. CASE BEFORE THE HOUSE. ‘Wasaxarox, D. C., April 15.—In ths Honse ¢his forencop, Mr. Hurd, from the Judiciary Committes, reported a resolution in the habess corpus case of Hallst Kilbourn, the recusant witness in the real-estate pool investigation, directing the Sergeant-at-Arms to make a caro- fal return to the writ setting out the causs of the dotention of Kilbourn, and retain custody of his body, and not to produce it before the Judge or court without further order of the House. He proceeded to moke an argument in support of the resolation. He intimatod that the testi~ mony of Kilbonrn might implicate high officials, and that ail efforts iu the direction of investiga~ tion would be thwarted if he were taken out of the power of the Honse. No subordinate court should be allowed to interfere with the jurisdio~ tion of the House or of & Superior ‘Coart. Mr. Garfield suggested that the Court might punish the Sergeant-at-Arms for contempt in not obaying its order, and asked what relief the Tonse could give him. Mr. urd thought the remedy would be very onsy. It would be for the Sergeant-at-Arms to apply to the Suprems Court of the United States, which bad sn APPELLATE AND ADVISORY JURISDICTION. Mr. Frye asked Mr. Hurd whether the House bad the power to punish for coatempt regard- lesa of the fact whether the question which Kilbonrn refused to znswer was lawful or uo~ lawfal, Mr. Hurd replied that the snbject matter waa entiroly within the discretion of the House. Mr. Frye inquired whether thero wss any limit to the time of punishment except the life of the House. 2 Mr. Hurd replied that he thoght tho power to punieh expired with the House. - Mr. Frre—If that power inheres in the flouss of Representatives, does it not inhere also in the Senate ? 2Afr. Garflald—Which never dies. 'urd—Unquestionably it does. Ar. Frye—Then this result wouid follow, that the Souzte may punish 8 recusant witness for contempt, rogerdiess entirely of whether the quostion ‘which witness refased to anewor'was lawful or unlawful, and might hold that citizen in jail during his life. SUBSTITUTE. Mr. Lynde, a memberof the Judiciary Com-~ mittee, offered on bebalf of the minority a sub-, stitute for the resolution directing tho Sorgeant-at-Arms fo make s carefnl return to the writ of habeas corpus that the prisoner is duly held by the aathority of the House of Rovresentatives in proceeding against him for contempt, and to take with him the body of Kit- bourn before the Court when making such re- turp, e proceodod to arguo in support of tke enbatitute. The quostion was whether the House would deny to & aitizen of the Unpited States, imprisoned by it8 order, tho right of hearing be- fore a court on & writ of habess corpus. If this precedent were ostablishod, it was of importance that the American people and conrts shonld un- derstand it. I, in tho oxercise of its privileges, tho House encroeched on the hberties of tha people, those privileges wouid be reviewed and re-cxamined, and members would be returned to the House who would respect the Constitution-~ al rights and maintain the liberties of the peo-~ pla. i : Mr. Kasson hoped that the time was long dis- tant when an American citizon whose propercy or libsrty was jovolved was to find his final cowrtin the House of Representatives. The propoeition bers was that o citizen should have Do review befors a conrt, no appezl to any other jurisdiction, no possiblo reconsideration of a judgment of the House of Representatives. Was that within the moaning of the American Coustitution when 1t declared that the writ of habeas corpus shonld never be suspended except in time of war or tuvasion ? He denied the ox- istence of that right, and challengod tho pro- duction of an instancaintherecords of the conn- try where the House or Sonate bad denied tho right of & Court to decide on the question of PERSONAL LIDEETY AND PERSONAL RIONT. That was wkat the House was now proposing to do, and it would havs to bo done by the yess and nays. The Houso would bave to docide whether it would establish a precedens for the firat time that a citizen who refuses to testify bafore 1t was to be denied the . great right over ‘which nations had fought, and for the security of which many lives wero loat. AMr. Lawrence, a member of the Commuttes on tho Judiciary, advocated the resolution of the majority and faid down aud elaborated the following propositions : First, that the Honse .bad power to iusutute investigations, and to summon and examine witnesses throngh its committeos. Second, that as sn incident of that power the House had suthority to judge of contempr on the part of witnesses in refusing to testify and to punish them by imprisonment. Third, that the judgment of the House is final and con- clusivo as to ite juriadiction, and as to the right and expedieucy of umium{fx it by sentence of imprisonment. It followed that no Court conld inquire izto the jurisdiction of the House to imoricon during the existence of Congress ; and, fourth, that this rule had not been changed by any statute. Air. Kelley argued against the resolution ofeted by Mr. Hurd. Hp believed that the commitment of Kilbourn was A GRAVE MISTAKE. & mistake which no Court would have made, aod which the House would not have made if it bad heard Kilbonrn through his counsel, or if memters had bad en opportunity to study the record 1 the casé, and if the question had been opeued to freo discussion. Bat it was never too 1ate to do a puod thing, and having made a grave miatake, the Houso shauld either send this wit- ness before the Judge, aud when remanded, as he hadno doubt he would be, then discharge bim, orit should discharge him at ouce, and avow frankly that it had invaded the rights of an American citizen. . Mr. Hoar said this wos the question beforo the Houso: Was the extent of tho rights of this House limited by disctetion snd by the jndgment of a single Judge of tho Supreme Court of the District of Columbia? It so, then that Court had the right to do the same next waek to the Senate, and if, when that august tribunal was _organized to try the Socrotary of War or President of ths United States, Mr. Marsh or somo other witness, when 2 question was put to hum, would sxy, ** On the whole I do not think I will answer that question,” and the Senate committed him for contempt, then Chiof- Justice Cartter wounld have the right to eay, *¢ Take that man ont of the custody of the Ser- geant-at-Arms and bring him before.me, and I will soe myself what I think of that question.” This outery that the Honse was undertaking to put itself against fporsonal liberty was per- fectly preposterous. i Mr. GarEeld quoted from May's Parlismentary Law to tho effoct that the Habeas Corpus act is DINDING ON ALL PERSONS WHATEVER, and that it 18 therefore competent for Judges to bave before them persons committed by Honses of Perliament for céntempt. Now oy wero confronted by the assertion that one branch of Congress was omnipotent. Tha proposition wonld mako the House the great tyrant of the nation. Let it onco kaown, and every fcitizen would 'be armed in hostility against the Congress of his country. He_declared himself the implscsble fos of the tyrant who presented himself in such s guise. The position taken to-dsy would make Congress the most uncontrolled tyrant that bad ever stalked sbroad over anyland. He denied that the the onse 'was above the law by delivering up the body of the prisoner. Ar. Hurd stated that he had just been inform- od by the Sergeant-at-Arms that he had appear- ed before the Judge this morning, aud that the heariog of the case had been postponed till pext Tuesday. He therefore gave notice that he would call the previons gnestion on Monday st 8 o'clock. The House then adjourned. —_—— X CAULFIELD'S COMMITTEE. POOR PICKING. Bvécial Disvateh to The Chicago Tribuns. WasmiNaTox, D. C., April 15.—Caulfield's Committee on the Department of Justice com- menced the examination of Chicago witnessas who are expected to probe frauds, irregularities, corruptions, and that sortof thing in the United States Marshal's office at Chicago and at Sping- tield, 7ll. The witnesses were two—Parnell Munson and Detective McCausland. Their ex- amination was a waternsul. Great expectations had been based upon their evidence. The let- ters whick heralded their approach were big with charges, bnt they bave come here to tell thus far wnothing bLut the little tattle of the bar-rooms and the gossip of the slume. It was all hearsay, shadowy rumor; not a scintills of proof. Munson’s examinstion sesmed for the most part to be limited to some old accountain the Marshal's office during the saministration of 3, Russell Jones, Manson bad raked togather & lot of stories about surplus fees that had not besn retarned, bat he knew of his awn knowledge not s singio thing, and was simply repeddling old gossip of the courts. Tha only real purpose for which Munson was called really seems to be to commence that famous rid upon the so-called Galens Ring, which has been snnounced to be made hore soon. The beginning is & num- ber of lstters written to the Whito House Givil- Bervice Committes, raiding Marshal Campbell. The second chapter in this raid seems to have begun in Caulfield's Committes. McCausland's examination was only begun, Ha testified as to the court records at Springtield in & cartein suit which was seitlod undoer the sdministration of Bluford Wilson as District-Attorney. McCaua- land is the second detective imported from Chi- ©0ag0 to start a scandal on Bluford Wilson. —_— BELKNAP, THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL. Svecinl Dispotch to The Chicago Tribune, WasamaroN, D. C., April 15.—The impeach- ment trial of Belknap, the opening of whichis set for Monday, is not likely to proceed beyond the mere formality of the sppearance of the accused on that day, either in person or by counsel. It is the opinion of the impeachment ‘managers on the part of the Houmse that Bel- knap's counsel will ask for about two weeks in which o pload. The- Senate, it is thought, will give them & woel or ten days at the utmost. From this it would appear that Bellmap’s counsol, at least, do not share his confidence that ha will be acquitted, othor- ‘wige the managers think they would proceed to trial at once. It is understood, also, that whon they plead they will raige the question of juris- diction, another stop the mansgers think un- necessary if, a8 Bolkuap aaserts, he will be ac- quitted and vindicatod. - When the triat is fairly started, if the Senate docida that it has jurie- diction, the managers think it will not ocoupy more than a week. — e SMITH. HE 18 BEING INVESTIGATED. Wasmrxarow, D. C., Aprit 15.—In the Houss of Reprosentatives this morning Mr. White of- fered a resolution instructing the Judiciary Committea to inguire into the charge that Smith, tho journal clerk of the House, had of- fered to prosecute additional bounty clams for & commission, Mr. Smith, the journal clerk, handed in an explanatory letter to the Bpeaker, ‘which was read. It states that, being st home in New Hampshire at the recent election, he #aw7 that an additional Bounty bill was before the House, and made up his miud that if the bill passed (o resign his ofiicial position and fol- low Lis profession a8 an attorney ; snd in that view he prepared and issned a circular, making the offer referred to. Mr. Morrison offered an amendment to Mr. White's resolution, roforring Smith's commani- cation to the Committeo on Military Affars, with instructions to ascertain whether Smith bad violated soy law, or doneany actincon- flaunt with his position 88 an employe of the ousc. Mr. Hoar remarked that the law on the sub- Ject of Governmont employos acting 28 Claim- Agents or attorneys, was not the resl question in this case. This gentlemsn journalized and recorded the action of the House, and he was to have a personal interest in the form and shapo of the record which he mado up, an intor- ost zcquired by him st his solicitation. Whilo ¢he bill was pending, it was a question of priv- ileges, ead the prerogatives of the Houss, and tho method which it should take to secure the honesty aud intogrity of its journal, on which bomesty and integrity aro fhe rights of the American people dependent. He thought that the matter should be referred to the Committee on Rales. s - Mr. Morrisor modified his resolation accord- ingly, and the quastion was reforred to the Com- mittee on Rules. g NOTES AND NEWS. IN THE HOUSE. Wasarvarox, D. 0., April 15.—Mr. Singleton, from the Committes on Appropriations, re- ported back the Senate amendmentato the Cop- salar sud Diplomatic Appropriation bill, and moved that they be concurred in in gross. Mr. Garfield remonstratad against that course, 28 being nnuenal at this stage of the session. The Houss shonid have an opportanity of vating on the amendments in detail. 3r. Singlaton did not insist on his motion, and the amendmenta were ‘ordered printed and re- committad. PURMAN, In the Parman investigating case to-day Charles E.
