DARNEY'S BLUNDELL Specral Depatch to The Chicago Tribune. Wasnixaroy, D. O.. April 21.—Caulfield’s Committeo hae probably stirred up a very lively hornet's nest in its bungling efforts to convict the Dresident of ordering an illegal ume of the Becrot Borvice foud of the Department of Jus- tice. Tho gigantic oloction frauds which were formorly perpotrated in the City of New York in the intorest and under the diroction of the Tam- many Ring bave nover boen soriously denied or dofonded even by the Democrats themssivos. The whole subject Las beon one which Demo- cratic politicians have studiously avoided, and no one supposed that by any blunder of » Demo- oratio investigating Committee the history of thoso frauda woula again bo brought out snd spread upon the record of the Hounso of Hepre- scntatives. Dut this soems to be just what Csulficld's Committeo is dolug. Aftor a briet and very suporficial investigation, in which tho Committes oblained sutlicient information to bavo given it & cluo to the whole matter, the Committee, seemingly without etopping to in- quiro whethor any law had been actually violat- ed or not, allowed the MORT 'BENSATIONAL AXD ONE-SIDED RIPORT of ita proceodings to be printod. ‘I'hs resnlt was that within twenty-four hours Davenport, Chief Bupervisor of Elections at New York, waa on his way to Waakington , DringIDE witls 4IM Lus enly vouchers aod recoipts for tho monoy spent, but also tho voluminons pupers aud documents showing the oxtont of the olection frauds form- erly perpetrated in New York, and the manner in which they wore checked, nnd, to some ex- tent at least, proveuted. Davenport's examina. tion was bogun by tho Committeo this afternoun in open meseion. Caulflold, the Chairman of the Committoo, conductod ths inquiry with vory little show of courtesy to the witnoss, who poomed to havo nothing to concesl, and not only tho substance of many of hiy quostions, but the manoer in which thoy wero put, was such a8 to be almost offen- sivo. After apsworing o number of irrelevant questions in rogard to his agoe, former occupa- tton, places of residenco, ‘mllucnl profereuces, ote., Mr., Davenport was allowed to begin A COMVLETE BTATEMENT of the manner in which tho money paid him through tho Secret-Sorvice Lureau was usod. e made but little progress to-day baforo the Committeo’s adjournment was reached, but ho hiad suflicient time to explain the charactor of eomo of the frauds which lho undertook to clieck 10 the Now York olections. s forther examination to-morrow will probably bo very loteresting. It 1 gooorally conceded in Washington to-day that thero wes really very littlo foundation for tho ucnsational writing which has boon indulged in in segard to tho ex- odituro of s portion of the Becret BServico P:nd of thio Departmont of Justice Ly Supor- visor Davenport, ‘I'ms fund was appropristed for the dotection and punishmont of CRIMES AGAINHT TUE UNITED BTATES, and if {llegal voting at Congressional or Na- tiounl eloctions fs a crimo against tho United Statey, as it has been made by the eloc- tion Iaws, then fts dotection was a proper objoot for tho exponditure of this money., 'The roports of the DPresidont’s fochug sud romarks on this subjoct, bave been groasly exagoratod. It was said that a mooting o, his Cabinot was callod at an unusually oarly hour to-day [norder that this cxposure mighit he fully discussed. The truth is that the change {a the hour of kolding the Cabinet meoting was cauned by the deaire of tho I'resident to go to Philadelphin on tho early alternoon train to re- ceive the roprosentatives of a foroixn Governs meut at the Centouuial, and tho gossion waa oue of the shorteat that has recently taken place. THE MEAN BIDE OF IT. ‘The infamously aud maliciously unfair and meanly partivau version of the testunony ro- specting tho President which soems to bave boen given ont by Demooratic meinbers of tho C-ulmfid Committco bios at Jast caused the fair- mioded mon uf both partica in the Ilouso to roalizo tho toonstrous injustice which results from sccret investigations, In former Cou- gronsea the Damocrats in and out of Congress, whon the Rcpublicans had two-thirds majority in the Lower Houso, thoy not only investigated the abusos of the Administration, but always did so openly. Tho Democraty have adopted the contrary policy, and for tha reason that 18 admitted, if not avowed, that n legion of slanders may at the ud of the session be sent to the couuty without an opportunity for ronly, I'he Democrats have scloctod tho plan of star ohamber invostigation as the initial step in their foul campaign of slander. Probably TUE MOST CONSPIUUOUS EXAMPLE of this is the Caulfleld Committoo, The Chalrman of that Committoo made very loud pretenss that uo msn should be defamod through hita Commit- tee, and that no man should bo dishonored or condumued ushoard, yot tho most disroputable scandal hounds, dotectives charged with infam- vus offonses aud tho vilest passions, outlaws from civilization eeeking to cscape frow prisons by ploading thoir own [nfay in thoir atlempts 10 ruin others, can bo daily soen hanging as Wituosses or as dopositoties of libelous infor- wmation abous that Committes-room door. The ox-partu storles of such porsons have bean veddled out in a dissorted form iu thedbape of haif trutis, which were lies, by sops burdon who must havo heard thew, aud we lofty pn- tonso of tho Committen bas proves s Pbatisaial Auockory, since the lyiug sitle-tattle of partisan dofamors has soupl¢ to penl tie famoof tho Prosideut of 16 United Blates. I'ho consequatico of this disgracotul ocaurrence ras obeerved in two wavs & tho Capitol to-dsy, “T'ho storm of indiguation ¥as 80 groat that the Caultleld Committos wu‘“ rr! .
