Tho House has declined to concur ia all the 150 Benate amond- monts to the Diplomatio bill, The bill was tho first of tho regular Appropriation bills which passod the Houso, It bins o reduced tho aal- arica a3 woll aa the numbor of our represonta- tivos abroad (hat it was not only op- posed by the Republicans, but by many of tho intolligent Democratic mombors of the Tlouse. When the bill roached the flon- ate, it received enreful oconsideralion. The resutl was that s large number of amend- menta nere mado- equalizing salaries and un- doing much of the bungling work of the House, Al these amondments were mads with A DUR REOARD TO ECONOMY, and whon it was found that the roductions made by the Iiouss would work no injury to the poblie service they wero concurred in, The consonuence of this actton in that nbout 150 smendments wero mado, the differenca boiug principally on tho salaries allowed, This disa- Rroemont betwaon tho two Houses I8 & proper subject of compromise, if not of argumont, between the mombers of the two bodios.

A.—Whese 18 would do the most good. Q.—In whyt respect? A.—I oould nol say, that is what be would say to me; 1 did not con aider 1 had any night to queation bim on account of orders received, bui 1 could not ses what he d1d with tho money; 3 paid nim $20,000 in the e Ihicago Duailp Teibn CHICAGO, MONDAY, APRIL 24, 1876. a1l of 1872, during the Presidential campaign, indepondently of the $5,000 previously paid on the order . of Akerman, and I paid him £10,000, allatons time, Intha courss of exemination ‘Whitley s2id ba objacted to pay money to Daven- port, bocauss ho did not koow to what use it would bo put; Attorney-General Williams told hlm ho was _dirocted to Mu{ it by order of tha Prenident; ho eaid to Williama) that if Daveo- port bad a right to draw say more monoey he ought to draw it directly and not through him; the Attorney-General satd it was the deaira of tho Prosident that the monoy should bs drawn in that way, Q.—What roasans did Willlams give for ob- Jection to paynient of this monoy? A.—I Aup- ose becaune I objncted: 1 cannos say positives ¥ i 1do not know' that \Williame know what it was to Lo used for. Tho witness thought Davonport, if he had smployed mon, ought to bave scot them to him far pasment: he could not tell whether tho direction ur order of the Preaident waa verbally or in writing, Wilhams said bo was overrulad {n the matter by the Presidont, and Williama told bim ho tnought that the monsy anghit not to bo paid out in that way. Inanswer to a queation tha witnets said biad not Davonport been & Republican bo would not hiave recoivod tho money in that way. They did not deal withs Domocrats politicatly. Q.—Bteta If you do not know that the maney was used for campaign and improper purposes in the clection there? A.—Not of my awn knowledge, bocause I was nevor called on to spend a dollar of it In any way, sbape, or man- ner, Leyoud paying it to Davenport, The wit- ness said tue money was not sccounted for in tho departmont. There wore in that denartment no receipts from Davenport, e thought the committes would find, by ezamiontion, (hat in adiition to wlat he paid Davenport, the depart- mont paid him a Iargo amount of money for the ssme €orvicen he renderod {1 Now York. Y.—Do you know what services?3A.—~No, but I think it was somethtog in regard to tho eloc tion, ‘The witnora said he himsell drew, in the spnca of foor years, frow 1871 to 1874 inclueive, from 2125,000 to 140,000, and out of thia he pald Davenport ; he made roturns from tine to tims of his own dolngs, but did Dot render ac~ counts of his expenditures; his reporta show that be employed men for detective purposcs, and theso reporta wero made in justification of the exponditures; ho was paver requested to soitle ; thoy bad coufidonco in him,and be vo- ceived orders for the mouney drawn by Willinms on this Pay Department. The foliowing are extracta from the testimony of ex-Attorney General Williams relating to sho payment of monaey to Davenport : Q.—Did 1 anderstand you tc say that it was Bir. Whitley or Mr, Dasenport that brought yon the note from tho Preeident to pay the monoy to Davenport? A.—Mr. Davenport. ,—Do you know what has bocoms of tha vote? A.~—I amnot able to state; I presume I will say the I'reridont was accustomed to write on a card, somelimes on fa little picce of paper, any littlo communication that ho wished to make me, and thess cowmunications wore never presorved ; they wore thrown away or destrovad.

Q.—IfIonderatand you,you objected to payiog out the monoy becauso you thought it did not Icpitimately como in your departmont? A.— No, not oxactly that. I did not want to pay out the funds, bocause I did ot know anything about the purposes to which thess fands were to be applied, oxcopt from repreacntations mede to mo by Mr. Dasenport, aud I waa not willing to allow Lim to have money unon his ropresente- tions. At the samo timo I wns reluctant abont psying the money becauso I wanted this fond, an I thought. for meny purposes, aod all had to cconomizo in overy way to maké the appropra- tion meet tho expenses of the dopartinent. At the eama time Idid not cousider that I might not use it in this way, if in my jodgmont it was propor, and if the expsnditure of this money in that way would tend to prevent frauds in election or pravent crimes. Q.—When Mr, Davonport applied to you for this money, d6id he state to you for what pur- pose he wantod it ? A.—Yos, sir ; that was dis- tinetly unaeratood all around, between the Preal- nentand myzolt and Mr. Daveaport, Q.~—Yon refused until he hrm:fim. yon s lettor from the President directing that it should be paid. as it a direction ora requost? A.—I will pot bo ceriain. whether he mne an applica- tion to me in thoe first placo for the monoy and I dactined without further information, or whather in the firat inatance he brought this note from the Prosidont, which was the firal knowledge that £ Liad that ho was to have any such monoy ; I caunot be certain about that, butIam cor- talu that this wote came, which, I think, contained & request to allow A Davenport to have money for that pur- pose. Subssquently when 1ir. Davenport cams for money I was_reluctant about letting it go, and he aaw the Prosident and came back and said tho Prosidont thought that ho might have wmore money for that purposs, and so 1 allowed it to go in that way. Q.—1Ihen the work was not just begun, it thesa fifty orono hungrod books bad accufmu- lated. They fimbnbly nd_been used n ye. provions in the elections? A.—L think thoy wers all made by Mr, Davenport and his assts- tants ; Ithink Mr. Davenportinvented tho system and have hioard it remarked that the invention 1taolr exhibits genius iu that way; 1 have hoard people apeak of the work in vory enthusiastic terms, assertlng toat Alr. Javenport is a groat genius in the way of invouting n Bystom to pro- vent fraud, and aleo exhibits groat energy and skill in\l»amcung the system, Q.~-1Vas that any gnn of his duty s an officer of tho Clovernment 7 A.—1 don't think it way. Q.—Anybody aiso could have done thst excopt & Commirsioner of Election ? A.—I don't thuuk it ia the duty of » Bupervisor of an eloction to propare such & work lhnwlnq a rogistration of the votera, but it is mado by Iaw the duty of the Bupervisor, in case be conaldors it neceseary to provont _ frauds at eloctions, to have mado for 1im, by his aubordinates, lists of the registerod voters in enoh election preciuct 1n his district, eo that this, as I nnderatand, wes to be regulatod ax » substituto for thosa lixts that tho law re- quires tho subordiuates of the Supervisor to make, but I don't undertaka to say that it was his duty to make auy such books. Q.—Tuen shis enterpries upon which Daven- port entered was & thing that the Isw did nut requiro him to do under the oflice tbut he hold, woa {tnot? Init laid down by law os oneof hisduties? A.~—I do not undoratand that it was his duty to do it, Q.—Did you not -gpnm of this enterprise of his? A.—I did not koow anything about it. Q.—Ho told you, did he not? A.—Hedid; but I was not willing to act apon_ hisrepresont- ations: not untilt I bad lesrued from sourcos moro satisfactory to me that he was engaged upon such a work. I learned from tho Preaident, who I understand had examlned the work. Q.—DId you consult suy othar source than the President? A.—1did not. Q.—Tben you never orderod any mouney to be paid to Davouport until he first brought to you a wristen order from the President? A.—I'dld not, sir. é'.'-—Whun in that written order from the Prosidens ? A.—I don's know, sir. I will not aay thas it waa a written order, sa I cannot recol- lect the phrassology. It may have booa s simple request on the part of the Prasident, brought to me by Mr, Daveuport, in whioh he spoke of this work snd, { thiok, roquested me. I do not think i orderod mo ; but requoated or indicated to mo o wish ou bis part that I would furnieh Mr. Daveuport some monoy with which to aid in the prosecution of that work, and 1t was in purau- suoo of that that I aliowsd the first moaey to be atd. e You doubted the propristy, at that time, af paying that money to Air, Davenport, did you not? A.—I1dounted upon such informstion as 1 bad, and X waa roluctaat, 1 say. to pay out tho mioney in that way, as I thonght I needsd the money for other purposss. Q.—13 that the only reason that you were re- luctant to pay it os, that you might need it for other purposes? —Theso two reasons; 1 did not regard It as an illegsl use of the money, li.—l‘hn expense is not a0 expeuse recogniz- ed in the act of 1871, {1 §t? The pay of the 8u- porvisor and his dutics sre all fixod by the act of 18712 A.—Yos, sir. Q.—Now, the making of books and thoexpen- diture of $35,000 in making books is not an e: ponditure authorized to be made :z{ the Buper- wisor of Eleotions ? A.—Nal at all ; there ia no sutbority fo the law for making books, nor do I consider it one of his official dutioa to make the books ; bat if the making of the books waald be » mode of preventing traud, snd would bo more ecouomical Lo the Governwmeni than the system provided for in the Iaw, Lben 1 should conmder that 1 would have o rignt to pay for that work out of the £50,000, which wera 1o be expended according to my dlacretion in suppressing and preventing fraud and orime.
