C., June 6,—The Commitice on Expenditures In the War Department to-day continucd thelr investigation Into the charge sgninst Speaker Korr. Mary T. Murray testified that she had reslded on Capitol I since 1806, and kept boardera there, In Decombor, 1805, Lowrence Harney hired aroom st her house, In 1800 ho aleo had A room there with his wifc, nnd both took thelr mcals there, Mr. Danford ralscd a point ne to how far the Com- mittea wonld go Iuto this psrt of the matter, taking the ground that the witness could not be contra- dicted on an Immatetlal or collateral queation, Mr. Ellfott, tho counsel for Mr. Kerr, replied, taking tho ground that it was competent to show by tho antecedents of witncss that lio was not a competent witness, Mr, Blackburn said: 1f Harney had deliberately aworn falscly s to his mareled )ife, the Commitico was entitled to know whether such was tho fact, Mr. Danford repeated his objection, and avked whether this Committes wns not bound by the same raies that a conrt would enforae, and whether tho witneas would not be entitled to protection? DLACKDURN EXPOUNDS DLACKSTONE. Mr, Dlackburn alid the Committce was not bound by the atrict technlcal rules that govern courts, The oueation was aa to the date of Iiarney's mar- rloge, and 1f 1t could be shown that he had per- Jured himsclf §t would impeach hia credibility os & witness. Mr. Elllott referred to the testimony taken on the 2d Inst,, In which Harney safd ho was married n July, 1807, to Annle Prior, and that ho had no wife when Lo was hero as Asslstant Doorkcoper. 3ir. Elllott quoted Judge Story to show that if a witness docs not testify correctly In relation to a fact about which he coald not bo mistaken lie is not entitled to credence. Mr. Clymer also took the gronnd that it swas com- petent to pursue a queation s to the character of aman, for, if Hamey was not marrled at the time Tie boarded with Mrs. Mueray, h lived {n adultor- ous Intercourse with a woman; therefore, Clymer asked this question of Mra. Murray: ‘‘Did you have any doubt whother the woman who lived with linrney at your house was his wife? Answer—T would noybave boarded them if T hod flmn%hl ‘they were not mareled, and, 1f 1 had found out they bad decclved e, Twould have got rid of them. I keep o respectablo boarding-house, and would not have boarded a man nng ‘woman who were not marricd for $100 & day. A. P, Green wasrecalled and contradicted Har- ney's testimony in soveral particulars, and rald Lo did not bellove that Hamey ever pald Spesker Xerr o cont of the money that Green pald to Har- ney. MOONE. 3. 8. Moore testifled to hia fnterview with Har- ney In New York in regard to the unonymous fot- ter sent to Kerr, when Harney nald Georgo Dlfss was crowding him, and that Dliss and Johany Davenport wanted fo make political capits out of the chiarge against Kerr, ond that they were both rascals and scoundrels, Itaupcared from Moore's testimony that Kerr, through fho advice of fricuds, cngoged Slducy Webster to 8nd out the wrlter o {he anonymous lotter, 80 s to have the writer prouccuted, It belng thought that by bringing the matter beforo a Criminal Court 1t would hive tue effcct of punishing the conspirators, OTTO LEIBSRING testificd that In 1800 he came to Washington to Jyocurean sppointment oo Second Lieutonant in e army. Ho saw bls mombur of Congress, Amasa Cobb, of Wisconsin, but that geutloman could do yothing for i, Ho waa subscqaently totroduced to the Yon.

A few days afterward ho recelved tho appointment, but did”not pass tho Examining Board, becauso of phyaleal dlun{&}lly.

' Witness obtalncd s appointment before the money was paid to Strouse, but Strousc paid him back, not Charging bim anything for his incidental expenscs. MR, KERK'S BTATEMENT, The Speaker came into the Committee-room quite feeble, and proscnted the following statement, which was read by Elllott: When | entered Congress in 1805 T understood that some kind uf reorganization of the sriny was in progress, and that a corislderable number of Lieutenants wero to be appointed in soine way. did not understand that this was to bu dono under the provisions of any pro-exlsting law, or of any Dephriment rogulntion suthorized by such law, but that Lt was belng done under some voluniary regus 1ation made by the Depurtment, IdId not under- stand that the appolntuient was a legal right vested in Ttepresentatives, or o duty Imposed upon him by law, like the appalntmentof Cadets toacademics, but rather a privilege given him by the War Department. 1 remembor scolng 1u” the public press sowe Depoartment avdor on tha_subject, tho terma of which 1 do not_remembor.

Thomas Morrlson, bath of whom had rendered gallant sorvice §n the volun- teerarmy. 1 am put In doubtasto the tender of the placo to Morrleon by the fact that ln{{ law partner thinks that thy offer of n[:}mlnulwnl was mode to him in 1867 fnstead of 1800, If Iam mistaken atall, it {sonly in the name, 1 aw clear In my recollection that I offered 1t to two ez-Federal soldiers whom I regurded as wortiry snd competent, Theso gentlo- men, however, Doth declined.

But nove ap- tied, not ons of whom I have the slightest recol- cction, When the long sossion of Congresa wna woll advanced, and tho time for thes appolnt- metits was passing away, 1 was called uyon by Au- gustus P, Green, .of New York. It is porsible that he was gest introduced to me y larney, but if Lo was I have no recolloction whatever of the fact.

An Exhibit Which Enchains the Admiration of Vis- Itors from Every State and Natfon, Spectal Correspondence of The Tribune. PrizADRLPIIA, June 3.—A sojourn of nearly four wecks at the Exposition, during which time I have glven continuous study several hours of each day to the distinguishing features of the vast display, cnables me to crystaliize opinlons with somne degree of safety as tu what are really the most fmportant and beautiful characteristics of the whole cxhibit. I believe that all visitors, home and forcign, whether they have been patient observers ever since the opening, or only the skimming callers of a single day, will colncide with me upon onc state- ment: It is that a certaln showing of what can be achieved fo the line of home decoration, fsthe king exhibit in poiut of general uscful- uess, value, and elegance. . When 1 suw tho display made by Pottier & Stymus, of New York, un the opening day, It was my binpression that nothing which I might suo- sequently discover here would equal {t” in con- ruminnte beauty and national fmportance. That impression has since strengthened {tself into an intlexible knowledge, for the dictates of personal Judginent and the verdiet of understanding con- noisseurs have jolued towork out the cunet'uuluu that this particulur display stands peerlegs and unapproachable, The exhibit of Messrs. Pottier & 8tymus real-. 1y should have been placed with the other art triumphs In Memorial Hall. There is no feat- ure of {t which {3 mot wsthetival to the cure, aud the exhibit in it entirety s ou art depart- ment ull to ftself The gencrous spaco in the main structure ac- corded this firm by the Exposition Cominls- sloners, hos been Juld out upon s trianguler base with truncated cones. A single M.u{- Jeads to the luviting Egyptlan portico. The latter is ar- ranged to ulford room for furnishings of the drawing-reom order, the general style of the structure belng the Egyptian modernized. A superb jardinicre of bronze, gold and siiver- plated, “and tilled with trupical plants, stands outside the railings in company with severa) nobly-modeled brooze figures,” all of than reproductions of the class of art that flourished in the land and erus of Isis and Osiris, though I shucerely doubt, if the lotus-cating anclents ever wroughit anything one-half as fuished sod beautiful, Two_ luxurious ensy chairs of heavy upholstered ik, aglow with rich embroid- ery, complete the [nvitng outer array, The clinlrs are in Nile green, and 8 harmonfus deli- cate tint akin to ceru. ‘T'he first object of furniture on entering the structure is u dainty cbony cabinet, of the Queen Anu siyle, luvishly carved, and folaid’ with minute detail in fvory. Chinese patience could not bave elabornted & work of greater intricacy of urnamentation, while a scrapulously accurate imitation has preserved o charming grace in every part of the work. There is” profusion without confusion; & rich fulluess of de- tud] blended with perfect clearness of design and exceution, I do not know that this cholce bit of nrt has yet been pre-empted, but if it hos not been slready taken, there §a uo chance of its ever flnding its way bock to the warerooms of the mukers. Thereare too many discriminating purchasers at the Exposition for that. Passing to the right, we find an apartment ar- ravged toshow soine of theresources aof this firm in the way of dining-hall furnishing. A massive cabluct, or sidebuard, of black walnut fills_nearly all of the mulu side of this portion of the display. It s, in form and cArving, o, close sdlbercut to the Renpalssance school, sud® ia o glorious example of the real soul-work which came into being with that fumous re- vival season of true art. I rauk this side- board as the chief plece of carving in the en- tire Exposition, and for that matter have no ob- juetions of makivg a beruld of .myself to sound an fmitation to the leaders of all’ schools, past | or pracnt.( Amerlean or Europesn, msmipm it. It is alive with flowlng scrolls, saucy grifing, herubie corner figures, and mgtlmlog- leal Dblazons, Ceres und umons in minlature, are given ot full length on the maln panels, and the fidelity of " the carving may be judged when Lsay that Ceres, though unl € alout Tour tnches long, carries her customnary bundle of wheat cut with such nicet that the beard on the graln s to be seen. strung glass [s necessary to bring out all the marvelous minut of tlie work, for most of thy carving was done under a lens. The telling of this aparunent s ablaze with appropriate armorial painting,—dark, rich, sud luxurious, The narrow side of the room his | been fitted up as o window, to show a mumrh of Inmbrequin effect fu the shape of thick sitk- rep curtalns that sweep to the floor. Theeo curtuins are finlshed Wwith velvot applique, in grand embossed designs of Venctisn magnifie couce.
