Spectal Dupaich o The Chicago Tribuns, WasmiNoros, D. C., April 28.—Cato, of Wis- cousin, sppeared as prosecutor before the Com- mittee on Expenditures in tho Treasury Depart- mont thia morning, with his witnesses, for the purpose of making his charges good agalust the Hocrotary of the Treasury. Gen. Dristow was also prosent, The case broke down upou Judgo Cato's bands at tho very outact, and countinued to go worso throughout the four hours which tho Committes dovoted toit. Iis firat witness wasa Ar. E. E. Johnaon, of Milwankoe, attornoy for the ownera of tho bark Mary Morritt, whom Cate hiad summoned Lo substantiate his charge that when he bad called upon Becrotary Bristow to socure tho romission of the forfeituro the Becrotary had referred him to his private socrotary as a mau who would fix the case up for him, aod that ho had mot thoe nrivate secrotary and socurod tho remisslon of tho forfetturo. Mr., Jobuson testified in the most emphatic terms that NOTITING OF THE KIND EVER TOOE FLACE; that on tho contrary the Secrotary fnformed him that ho could have nothing to do with tho case, because lio had formerly asaistod in it before Judge Richardson, aud on that secount the caso must bo deoided by other oflicers of the Depart~ mont. It further appoars that tho chargs of Judge Cate that Becretory Bristow had forciarly ap- peared au counsel in the cano was alto :ther af- roneous ; that hio had, simply as a friendly act, takon persopal frionds of his to Becrotary Richiardeoy, Introduced them, aud sot forth the points of their caso, not aa an attornoy, but su a mero friondly act ; that he had REVUSED AN OFFEL OF COMPENBATION made bofore ho went to Becretary Richardson, and that ha had nevor socured a foe or beeu re- tained a8 counsol. Cate's second witnoss was ex-District-Attor- noy Hubboll, of Milwaukee, who was- romovod 8t the t1mo the whisky prosecutions began, and sinco beon retained a8 counael by soms of the indicted parties, Ila teatifiod tbat Jobnson, on his roturn from Washington, had said to him that tho Hecretary would wsocn vismit I'biladel- phia, aud that the caso would bo settlod by tho Assistant Becratary, Ho would not tostity that Jlr, Jobnson meant to convey the hmpression that tho Bocrotary was loaving in ordor that tho caso might bo sottled, and Jobuson himself, up- ou betug examined on this point, Awors posi- tively that there was no ground for woch ao impression, and ho never intonded to cou- vey it Habbell's testimony utterly FAILED TO ESTARLISIU TIE LEAST IMPROIMETY on the part of tho Becretary, but it established tho fact that o (Hubbell) had received from the ownord $300 as fees, the sum ho would have been ontitled to if the forfoiturs had takon place, and Mr, Johinson tostitiod that this wus ouo of tuo coouderations of Hubbell's with- drawiog lus objections to tho remission. Mr. Lvans, attorney for Trice Bros,, of Hen- tucky, gave a (ull history of the case, showing tuat Bocretary Bristow had ' NEVER DEEN COUNSEL; had nevor recelved a foe, and had only actea as a mattor of persoual fricndahip to oblige them a8 Lis pordoual friondw; that ho Lad writton thom, aud tho correspondence was road, show- ing that tho Scerotary bad declinod all possibla connoction With tho caso after he bocauo Soo- rotary, and had carriod the mattor of bis objeo- tions to considering it to such an extrcme a8 to sovor for a long tima their frienaly relations, The lettors wero rcad, and wore of the most croditablo character to the Hocrotary.

The Becretary read the following from tho reso- lution direoting this invostigatlon, viz. : And thereupon one of the mata attoracys for the ownerv of the sald versel applied to the said .

Ho sdmitted that bo waa throughout op- posed to tho ramission of forfolturs of the oo~ sel, but finally gavo his consont. The Judge testitied that Johnson reported to him that lio had jun: roturned from Wastington, and found tulngs thero vory favorabls, and that Becrotary Dristow was going to Philadelphis and wonid leavo tho Assistant-Secrotary to re- mit the fine or releaso tho Mary Merrilt, The witness UNDERSTOOD JONNBOX TO BAY THIS to him moro than onco, The Chalrman—Did you undorstand Johneon to any that Secrotary ristow was going to Phila- dolphia with o view that the settlemens might be mads during liis absence ? Tho Witness—L did not filvo my uoderatand- ing, but what Johnsoojanid. Johnsou told me such & settlemont wonldn't bo mado unless I stiould give my assont, In the courae of tho examination, Becretary Bristow asked the witnoss whether hodid not kaow that the predecoesor of the preeent $o- licitor (Bantield) bad goue carcfally over tho ground, end sald that the offenis charged againat the Mary Merritt was merely Lechuical, ‘The witnesa replod that IR NECOLLECTED EOMETHING OF 11, Bocrotary Jiristow anked the wituem (who had tostitied that Lo was throughont opposed to the remiseion) by what process he changed bis mind. ‘The witness roplicd, becausa ho was sssured that the Department was propared to make the remisrion, and thun arrost further logal proceed- tngs, and diecause bie tuoughic it wonld vo dobo anylow.

Ho uaid he cawmo hero in tho apring or summer of 1873, in order to securo o romisston of the forfeituro of tho ves- sel. Gen.

Bristow tho object of his errand, and offerod to give hit part of tho com- peusation. Gen. Bristow DECLANED TO TAKE A YEE, but gaid ho would areist thom in presenting tho matter fairly to the Becrotnry of the Trossury. Secrotary Beiatow introducod him to the Secro- taty and to Mr. Banfleld, tho Soliciter, and was informed it was the poiicy thoro not to grant sny semlssion of forfeitures pending litigation. Bristow’s conduct in the promises way morely an act of kindoess, o having declined all or any compensation, and was morely BERVING JIIS RENTUCKY NEIGHDORS, QGen. Bristow had no professional connaction with the caso, and was very caroful to bave this fact clearly and oxplicitly understood. He EMPHATICALLY DECLINED TO IAYE ANYTHING TO DO WITR A YER.

This did not anit the managoers, who deputod QGoorga Hoar to abject to the arder. Ho took the ground that neitter branch of the Amarican_Coucress stanan as s suitor at th bar of tho other, bat that the CONOURBENT JUDAMENT OF TUE HOUSES is nccossary to an impeachment juat ss their concurrent action s nocessary to the enactmont of alaw, Mr. Hoar thea demounstrated by Brit- 18h precedents, as woll as by the Audy Johnson case, that the mauagers bave the right to pro. sent tho cass and to wake the fionl revly. Mr, Dawes said that common courtesy do- mandod tbat the coun<el should be hoard, and Matt Carpenter replied to Mr, Hoar doclaring thias his client did not want Britlah procedsnt, but right and_justice. Mr. McDonald offered a resolution to rescind that portion of the order declaring how the ar- gumenta shall be prosonted, p Theun came & 1otiou to adjourn until to-mor- row, followed by one to adjourn to 3ouday, which was carried. . On Aonday tho order agroed upon to-day will be takon up, but it is pretty sure that argument 88 to tho Jurisdiction of the Court will uot be commanced befare noxt Tharsday.
