C.y May 27.~There are some yery peculisr direumstances connected with the scendal started aginst Speuker Kerr. It is cer- 1ain that Augustus P. Green, who s mow lere suder subpeena, was appointed 3 Second Licu- sepant in the United States Army through the mfivence of Kerry who was thena Represeutative from Indiana. The Army Register Congress :\uws thst Green was assigned 1o the Yourth Artillery. There is a letter on file p the War Department which sho#s that 2o sppolntment Was wade through Kerr's apdwriting 85 a request from him to the War fepsrtment that Green’s commission be sent 104 certain place.. The letter also states, it is 1, that Green wss sppointed through Kerr. TheSpeaker having been informed by Clymer, tte Democratic Chairman of the Committee in- *estigating the matter, of all the circumstances, Kerr sdmitted that he had Green appointed, but dened having received any money. In ad- dition to Berr’s admission the official records . FOLLY SUSTALN THE FACT of the sppointment by Kerr. Green yesterday jnformally communicated Wwhat be claims to now to the Committee. His etatement then ‘made, but not under outh, is said to be this in Eubstance: Green, in 1866, directly after the War, ot atime whenin every Northern Con- jonal District in the country imany young mes were endeavoring to obtain com- missions in the Tregular army, camc 1o Washington to secure such an appointment forhimselt. Hewasa resident of New York State, and had hoped to get his appointment through the then United States Senator Harris, from that State. He failed in this, and was subsequently appointed, as Eerr’s letter shows, through Kerr, of Indiana. Green, as he sup- posed, for this service paid Harney, then & Doorkeeper of the House of Represcnta- tives, §600. Green says that at the time e supposed he was giving this money for his compmizsion, but he did not throw that Rerr was to get the money. ~Green, some weeks since, learned for the first time that this story wastoberevived. 1le was approached at his Jome by an unknown person who, after some gezeral conversation, wished to know WHETHER GREEN HAD PAID ANY MONEY toanybody for his commission. Green asked 1his person where be came {rom, and whether Le came from the Appraiser’s Oftice. This Un- Jmown told Green “tuat he did come from the Apprafeer’s. Greep then said to this Unknown Tiat there was nov a word of_tuth in the story. Haroey, it will be remembered, the House Door- Feeper, who it is alleged, received the $600 from Green, is s clerk: mthe A%:r.\lsur’s Ottice. A litle later this sawe Unknown Sited Green, and again _endesvored to obtain syme statement from Green. The latter then questioned the Unknown about some de- tails of the Appraiser’s Office, and discovered that the Upknown kuew nothing sbout that offive, and that be was misleading him. Cou~ sidering that he had been deceived, Green de- dlized Baving suy further couversation with the purson. At 3 still more recent period, and ona Gunday, just_about, the time, it is believed, when Kerr was in New York on leave of ab- sence, GBEEN WAS AGAIN VISITED by this Unknown, together withanother person, whom the Unknown introduced to Green asa Notary Publie. The Unknown then represent- ed himself o Green as 3 lawyer’s clerk from # Nassau_strect, and wished to have Green make an afidavit that he had never paid any money to Speaker Ker for his commission. ‘Tiis Green declined to do, and he scems to have heard nothing further until he received his sub- peesa Green told this story with the greatest re- luctance, and convineed some members at least of the Committee that he was telling the truth. He said that Kerr Liad always been very kind and conrteous to him, and that he did not ‘bulieve that Kerr really got the money. Green only knew that he paid it to Harney. Green semed to fully realize the grave nature of his statement, and at every step was B most alarmed, unwilling, and réluctant Wit Dess. This is in substance the first informal Batement made by Greennot under osth. It does not in any way connect Kerr with the transaction, except to show that EERR ODTAINTED THE ATPOINTMENT. The payment of the money to Kerr, if it was id at all, which Kerr with much earnestoess enies, must have been made through Humey. = The absence of Hammey has accordingly exeited much conunent. It was current!y reported this morning tlat Lis sbsence could only be 2ccounted for in one of 1w0 ways, as be was summoned on Monday last: Eitherthat be has retailed a lie, and dare not meet the consequences of his statement, or that, having told the truth, be docs not desire Wtfih{;wi& for reasous best known to him- sl The Committee await his arival with much concern. Kerrs friends say that the Speaker wishes a %:‘y investization, and that he is much an- toyed at the unexplained absence of Harney. 1t 'hss been ascertained tbat Harney has been gfl-:lazm by illness, aud that heswill be here ¥ A CTRIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE _ gomeeted with this mysterious scandal is that erT, in 1556, should huve n{h}mlulcd a person %0 the army from New York. It is a matter of common information that at that time, just atthe dose of the War, there were scores of young men in nearly every Northern Congres- Elonal district who Rad served through the War, 2ud were eager to secure commissions in the fegular army in time of peace. It fs remarked 85 8 singular fact that Green, having failed to be $Ppoiuted through New York intlucbce, secured appointwent through Kerr, of Indiana. In L:Sllu: 10 Kerr it must be said that he claims to . able to prove that there was NOTHING DISHONORABLE IN THE MATTER. 1y Tie Committechd determined not to formaly !{ cxamine Green ‘until after the arrival of Srees » as Harney is the principal witness, and nm s evidence 1S on!y corroborative of what mik expected Harney’s will be, but the Com- fi“flwduy decided to examine Green, and i{% 0. His sworn statement, it is_understood, {iflered fn no_material point from the i lgfln@l story which lhe yesterday narrated idividually to the Committee. The cross-ex- Amination failed to break him down in any par- Hicular, and only served to reveal the fact that bl defim,;regmwd Daving been compelled to testify. There can be no doubt that Green is 0t the originator of the story. This much is Proved by Green's testimony, and disproved by s&é’.fi"’i else, that Green wps appointed g Licutenant in_ the _regular m(,y B 1868, from New York, by Michael C. G!rr, Tepresentative from Indiuna, and that reen paid Harney, o doorkeeper in the House ol Representatives, $600 on account of the ap- Pointment. The Democratic papers are secking to ar- fign the Republican members of tbe Com- wittee for baving, as they allege, entered into a conspiracy to injure Mr. Kerr for political pur- ma Those ststemeats have been pub~ ed in Democratic papers. There is feson w0 believe bowever, that the THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SUMNDAY, MAY 28, 1876—SIXTEEN PAGES. Democratic members of the Committee first gave oat this information, and that they have 50 shaped it in tone and color that it {s made 1.0 appear a scandal . invented by the Republicans for _ political _purpuses. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The Republican mem- Dbers of the Committee have . CONCEALED THEIR VIEWS, upon this subject, and resolutely determined not to mention the evidence if Har- ney did not appear, and to sup- prese it altogether. In this respect the Republicans have been signally unlike the Democratic members of all fnvestigating com- mittees. Whenever scandal could “be brought against a Republican, the Democrats have been quick and eager to peddle out unfair, one-sided, and partisan statements of it to the Democratic press. The evidence before the Caultield Comn- mittee and Naval Committee are justances of L\l}\? p:lr{;lsmlnlfilfaim(‘ err has suid to bt nds that his attention was called to this charge about # mouth ago by an auouymous etter, and that he employed 3 New York law firm to investizate the matter. ’This statement would agree with Greens dec- laration that about that timea clerk of a law firm visited him with u Notary far the purpose of obtaining an aflidavit to the effect that he never paid Kerr any money.

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 27.- -The Scnatehas discovered a new constitutiona \ question rela- tive to jurisdiction in the impeac-bmenty which threatens to occupy attention for a \considerable time. The question is whether a majority or two-thirds vote is necessary to decides the ques- tion of jurisdiction. It lhas bsen con- staptly maintained that a major ity only was cnough, but the point 3 mOW raised that two-thirds arc m cessary. 1t this should be dcbated, snother we ek may be consumed on this issue. If {t should be de- cided that a two-thirds vote is necessary, there could be no doubt that the Senate would d eeline to hold jurisdiction. The attention of the managers having been called to the suggestion that the Senate ;i in special session as a Court of Impech- ment, the managers doubt the con- stitntionality of such proceeding, and - timate an unwillingness to consent to it. Tire managers have morcover constant necessity t” consult the House in almost every step of the praceedings. Senators express the oplnion, however, that if jurisdiction is taken the trial will be postponed until after the legislative ‘business is Anished. One Senator told an im- peachment manager to-day that the Senate ex- ected to keep the House here until October,and n any event long enough to show that the Demoerats intend to cripple the Government by their preposterous appropriation reductions.

The Committee, it is understood, have unanimously decided that there is nothing to prove any fraud in connec- tion. either with the awarding of the contract or with its exccusion. The prosecution aban- doned the charge that there was any fraud in the performunce of the contract, for the contractors made it appear that im- mense fipance interests depended upon. the exaet fulfillment to the letter of the instrument. The charges of the prose- cution. were therefore confined to the allega- tions of frasad in connection with the award of the cantract by Boutwell, when Secretary of the Treasury.

Execution of Four of the Mutineec-Murder- ers—History of the Crime. Lospos, May 23.—The four Greek sailors of the crew of the Britich ship Lenttie, who mutinfed and murdered the Captain, Mate, and sccond oflicer of that vestel, and who were found guilty in the Cen- tral Criminal Conrt on the 5th fnet., were exccuted at Newgate ot 8 o'clock this morning. Their names Carcariy, aged 21 years; Paccalis Caladis, aged 33 years; George Kaida, aged 22 years, New York Herald, About six months ago, the hip Lennie, of Yar- mouth, N. S., of 950 tons, lay at Antwerp, in bal- last, and wanting a crew. Her Captain was Stantey Wortley, an Irishman; and the second mate Rich- ard McDonald, an Englistinsn. At Antwerp a man named Constant von Hoydonck was engnged as steward, with his assistant,u lad named Trousselot. ‘A scratch crew was enguged {n_ London, the mem” Tere of which (with one exception) were foreigners of four different nationalities~Greek, Turkish, Italian, and Austrian, Manzed by this miscellancons crew the Lennic eniled from Antwerp on the 23d of October, bound for New Orleans. All went well until the 31st of Octaber, with the exception, tendency to ill-feeling and bad blood on the partof the crew uginst the officers, Esrly on the morning of that duy, bowever, all hands being on deck, except the steward and his assistant, the Captain ordered the ship to be put about. Theorder was obeyed in 3 lubberly manner, which apparent- 1y cxcited the ire and contempt of the skipper, Who, after the manner of his ruce, rated the crew in térms more forcible than elegant, calling them, among other things, *‘no sailers, buta pack of soldiers.” This was the spark. ‘which kindled the smolder- ing fire of mutiny. Pascales Caladis, alias **Big Harry,” whipped out his knife and struck it into the Captpin®s stomach. The Captain, who had left both hus revolvers below, turned to flee from hiis. ussassin round the cabin house, but was stopped Dy Mattco Cargalis, alias *‘French Peter,” who atabbed him in the forehead. The unfortunate ‘mun was then finished by Big Harry. The steward, who wus below at the time, thus Aeecribes the commencement of the tragedy: <+ Abont 4 in the morning of Ocet. 41, I was in my Lerth, when, hearing & noise on the poop, I said to 1 wuseelot, who slept below me, * here Is a row; turn out and see what time it The boy went nterthe cabin, looked at the clock, and, returning, Mald, *Constant, it's twenty mninutes past 4.° 10id'INim 10 go to the galley and make ihe coffee. e procecded about six steps to go on deck when he tonrd that the doors from the cumpanion were shut, ard gome one suid there was plenty of time between then and 8u'clock to make coifee. Jumped oat of my berth ond tried to get up-stains, when 1 found two men—Caladis, or *Big Ihn'y.' ind. Leosis—at the top, on the poop. The former asked me what I ‘wanted. ‘They were watching to see that no one came up. The Captain, I believe, had ordered. the men |t put the ship about. The braces hudgot foul. 1 heard him say, **'This is alu the care; you are 10 sailors, bt o lot of soldiers,” - There was & rush on the deck, and 1 heard the Captain halloo, as it s throat was cut.” The witness imitated the ¥ inda Kind of chokingor gurgling noise. When the second mate ran to theadsistance of the Captuin and endeavored to drag him into the cabin he, wo, Vs ateailed by **Big Harry,” whoTan his knife joto him. The wounded manran to the boatswain, puthis arms on bis shoulders, and entreated him to Divebis life. The lalter, however, pushed bim off, and ** Big Harry” ran his knife thrce times intohis Beck, the accomplishing the second murder. ~All This took pluce on the poop. In the meantime the Ehief mote, who was formard, ond who by this time eaw the extreme peril in which he etood, took to the —rigging sud endeuvored to gain a pluce of security on the fore- yord. Gfovanni Carcarie, or '*Joe, the Cook Jas now ordered by Georise Kaida, who went by the nickname of ** Lips, " to go forwurd and fire at the first mate, but did mot obey the order. “‘Lips" then took the revolver from him, went to the rigging and fired ive times.
