WASHINGTON, Testimony Taken Yesterday in the Impeachment Trial, The Managers Expect to Finish Their Case in a Day or Two. Knott’s Whisky Investigators Encounter a Knotty Witness. Mr. Bristow Persists in Declining to Answer Certain Questions. No Change in the Condition of the Appropriation Bills. IMPEACHMENT. ‘TIE PROSPECT. Special Dispatch to The Tridune. ‘Wismixeroxs, D. C., July 8.—The impeach- ment trial, so far as the direct cxamination of ‘witnesses ou the part of the:prosccution is con- cerned, willbe closed on Monday. The® man- agers have no doubt they will make their case, aud they say also that there will be some very sensational testimony before the case is done with. The evidence so far does not leave any doubt of Belknap's guilt. ADJUTANT-GENERAL TOWNSEND'S TESTIMONY. To the Western Associated Press. ‘Wasnixeroy, D. C., July 8.—At noon the Senate resumed consideration of the articles of fmpeachment against Mr. Belknap, late Secre- tary of War, and continued the examination of E. D. Townsend,'Adjutant-Generdl U. 8. A. ‘The witness testitied there were two copies of the letter of the Army Oflicers at Fort Sill recommending John 8. Evans for the appoint- ment as post-trader there. One copy was trans- mitted directly to the War Department, and the other came to the Department through Caleb B. Marsh. There were two letters {rom Evans accepting the position of post-trader. Witness then produced = the = order of Jan. 14, 1871, of the Sceretary of War to Gen. Gricrson to remove all traders from Fort Sill except J. S. Evaus, and testificd that the manuseript came to him in the baudwriting of the Secretary of War. Witness also produced a letter from Gen. Grierson, Commandant at Fort Sill, acknowledg- ug the receipt of the order of Jan. 14, and tes- tified that the order applied only to Fort Sill. The Msnagers proposed to offer testimony to the effect that charges were made against ‘Evans by the Solicitor of the Treasury of intro- ducing liquor into the Indian country. Mr. Carpenter, of counsel for accused, object- ed, but the Scnate admitted the testimony, and letter was read from E.P.Banfield, Solicitor of the Treasury, dated Oct, 59, 1671, addressed to the Secretary of War, with two enclosurcs signed by J. 8. Huckelberry, United States Attorney for the Western District of Arkansss, charging that liquor had been introduced in the Indian country by Evans and others. Witness pro- duced 1wo letters of the Sceretary of War in reply to Banficld, the first dated Nov. 27, stat- ing that Evans had authority to tske ten gul- lons of brandy and ten gallons of whisky to Fort Sill for the usc of the officers there, and the other dated Nov. S, 1871, stating that Evans denied having taken the liquor to Fort Sill withont _suthority$ that no complaint had been made by the officers of the post, and re- questing that no proceedings be commenced against him till after a full investigation of the charges made against him, Q.—How long does it take a letter to go from Washington to Fort Sill? A.—About seven e Was it possible to have received any coms munication from Fort §ill between Oct. 23 and Nov. 87 A~It might have been received by telegraph. p ‘Witness then produced a letter of the Secre- tary of War to Jobn S. Evans, dated Nov. 2, stating that thc attention of the Department had been called to 2 charge that spirituaus liquors had becn taken to the Indian country without authority of law, and asking if such'was the fact. Ie produced a letter from Gen. Grierson, dated Feb. 19, 1872, relating to Post-trader Evans, stating that his character as a business man was good, but that he was absent from the post, and left it in charge of J. J. Fisher, who was associated with himj; that repeated complaints had been made of the high prices charged by post-traders; that ke (Grierson) had investigated them, and was told by Fisher that they HAD TO PAY $12,000 PER ANNTM to a mau in New York for the appointment as post-trader, and that he (Grierson) had request- cd them to make the statement in writing that hit might lay it before the proper authorities, but they would nop do sv for fear that the license to trade would be taken from them. In regard to this letter witness testificd that it caine to his office on the Yth of March, and was submitted to the Sccretary of War ou the 11th. Q.—By Manager McMahon—State whether, in pursuance of that letter, he took action, and, if 50, what action? A.—I kuow no reason why the circular of March 25, 1872, relating $o settlers was issued, unless it was in consequence of Gen. Grierson’s letter. Witness_knew nothing of the facts of Gen. Hazen having testified before the Military Com- mittee of the House three days before. Had no knowledge of any letter of the Sceretary of War in regzzousu to that of Gen. Gricrson’s of Feb. z 19,1872, The :\n&mintmcnt of Evansas et tmdux;l was revoked March 6, 1876, after Belknap retired. CROSS-EXAMINATION, The cross-cxamination by Mr. Carpenter was interrupted by a short recess. ‘Witness testified that he knew Capt. George T. Robinson, formerly of the Teunth Cavalry, who was court-martialed and dismissed. Mr. Carpenter then offcred to put in evidence the finding of the court in the case of Capt. Robinson, and a letter written by him to the Seeretary of War, to the cffect that fic (Robinson) knew of the abuse in the Fort Sill post-trader- ships, and threatening that if the Secretary did ot disapprove of the finding of the court he g}obinsuu) would expose the whole matter. Mr. arpenter stated he would follow this up with testimony to show that the Secretary aid approve of the finding of the Court; that the of- ficer was dismissed, and his threatening letter was placed on file in the War Departuient by Secretary Belknap. Witness testified that he_received a letter from the Judge-Advocate-General the 3d of March, 1876, after Belkuap left the War De- partment. The managers objected to the admission of the testimony. After argument, the objection was u;%rrulcd, and it was admitted—yeas, 213 nays, 18. {Vitness had served as Adjutant-Generalunder Secretaries Stauton, Grant, Rawlins, Schofield, Belknap, Taft, and Cameron. Seccretary Bel- knap impressed him a5 & person who took great care to understand allbusiness that cam forc him, and transact it efiiciently and justly. W. P.

Did not kuow whether the ckages contained money or brown paper. hey were sent as money packages. : E. V.

Special Dispatch to The Tridune. ‘Wasmxerox, D. C, July 8.—The Speclal Committee appointed to investigate the whisky prosecutions held another meeting to-day, at which ex-Secretary Bristow was present, and thefssue was squarely made between the Com- mittee and Mr. Bristow, Proctor Knottdethand- ing to know what the President said to him while Secretary about whisky, both in Cabinet meetings and out of them, and Mr. Bristow de- cided by refusing to comply with this demand. The members, the. Com- mittee present at the meeting, and Mr. Bristow, discussed the matter for more than an hour. Mr. Bristow takes _the ground that.communica tions between the President and & Cabinet offi- cerare matters of the highest privilege, and that if it were established that a Cabinct officer could be forced to disclose what is said to him by the President, then there could no longer be auy confidence between the President and his Cabinet. MR, ENOTT'S VIEWS, Enott says that in his opinion this is a misap- prehiension of thecase. He holds that cummu- nications such as are under discussion_can only be withheld on the ground that their disclosure would hinder or thwart the necessary proper operations of the Executive in enforcing the laws. No such plea is made or can be made in this case. The Committee wants to know what the President said and did about the whisky prosecutions, and they have as much right to Inquire futo it_as the Senate would have sitting 23 a Court of Impeachment. e says THELE IS O SUCH PRIVILEGE as Mr. Bristow claims in what the President says and his subordinates. If the question wereto arise whether the President had appoint~ cd a felon to office, knowing him to be a felon, then, if it were susccptible of proof that u Cabinet officer had told Lim of thefclony in ad- vance of the ngpuintmcnt, it would “clearly be proper for the House orthe Scnate tode- mand the fact from the Cabinet officer, and even if it were true that the disclosure of any Cabinct seeret would affect the public seryice injuriously, the tribunal making the inquiry, and not the officer of whom the inquiry is made, must be the judge of the cffect. 3r, Kuott says he will bring the question before the [ull Committee, and, if the Committce does not vote as he thinks, then the matter will be brought before the House. Mr. Bristow says he will go to jail before he gl answer the questions asked of him by Mr. ott. POSTPONEMENT. The matter has been postponed until next ‘Wednesday. One¢ of the reasons of the post- ‘pou¢ment was because Mr. Bristow was very anxious to go_with his family to the White Mountains.” He left with themn to-night. Mr. Knott, and other members of the Committee, will be busy with Mulligan and Fisher on Mon- day and Tresday. The issue between the Whisky Committee and Mr. Bristow has thus become™ a very sharp one, and, if the matter is brought before the House, must lead to one of the most interest- ing debates of the session. If Knott’s Demo- eratic colleagues stand up to him, it may result in Mr. Bristows goluli into confinement, for there is no doubt he will persist fu his refusal to answer. NOTES AND NEWS. TIE APPROPRIATION BILLS. Special Dispaick to The Tribune. Wasmmvgros, D. C., July 8.—No progress was made on the appropriation bills to-day, and the ten days for which special provision was made expire Monday night at 12 o’clock.

The ther- mometer iudicates 100 in the shade. This hot spell bas continued without interruption fora montb, and is beginning to show on the members, many of whom are unable to attend ~ to business on account of d)hysim! cxhaustion occasioned by the heat.

The Democratic members of the Committee are emphatic in their declarations that the investi- gation shall go on, at least far enough to bring out the trutli concerning the letters and the telegram from Caldwell, about which so much fuss has been made.

Robbers Attack and Rifle a Train in Missouri. Théy Get Away with the Sum of Twelve Thousand Dollars, Four Armed Parties in Pursuit of the Brigands. Other Criminal Items, TRAIN ROBBERY. Special Dispatch to The Tridune. St. Louis, Mo., July 8.—Another daring rail- road robbery took place fn Western Missourl last night, equalling fn all respects, and excel- ling in many, any other one on rccord. The most connected account of the robbery yet given was that furnished your correspondent by J. B. Bushnell, the United States Express Mes senger. He sald: “It happemed 1 mile cast of the water-tank near Otterville, called the Lamoine tank. The first fntimation I had of the matter, I was standing in the car door- way when the train stopped suddenly. Some fellow on the bank hallooed, * Shoot the sonof agun,” and blazed away ai me. The bullet lodged in the side of the door. Then two or three shots more were fired, and I jumped back., The brakeman was standing in the door of the smoking-car. He says, “I have got a re- volver. Do you want one?” Itold him I id, and he gave me the revolver. I took out the safe: key and gave it to him, and told him to go to the rear of the train, as 1didn’t want to give up the safe- key unless forced todo so. Istarted to go back in the baggage-car, and had just got on the plat- form, when they commenced shooting again, and said, *“Getoff, youson of a—>"and I stepped inside the door of the smoking-car. FIVE MEN JUMPED INTO THE BAGGAGE-CAR and told the baggageman to giveup the key, thiuking he was the express messenger. He told them he was not the messenger, but they, not placing any confidence in Lis statement, went through him, of course without finding the key. They wanted to know where the messenzer was, and told the baggage- men if he didwt tell them damned quick, they’d teach him a lesson he wouldn’t soon forget’ He told them Xwas back in the rear end of the train, upon which they told him he must find me or they'd kill him. They then took hold of him and marched him back to the rear end of the train, where I was standing. One of them spoke to me, and said, ‘Youre the man I want. Come forward and unlock that safe with- out any nonsense!’ I told him I hadn’t the key. He said ‘¢ you want tofind it damned quick or Pl kill you! Threeof them then marched me torough the coach into the sleeper where the brakeman was, and made him give up the key. Next they marched melntothebaggage-car, and, POINTING THEIR PISTOLS AT XT HEAD, . demanded I should unlock the safe, which, under the pressure, I did. Then they took the monev out of the United States safe and put it in asack. Then they wanted me to go throngh the other safe. Iassured them I had no key for that, as it was a through safe. One man then went into the engine cab, procured a coal pick and came back | with it. They first pounded awey at the hinges, but finding they would not give way, broke open onc 6f the panels, a single thickmess of iron. When through, they wanted to know if that was all I had. I told them it was. They locked through the packing trunks, but found nothing they cared for. They broke the lock off the train- boy’s chest, ) HELPED THEMSELVES TO APPLES, - and such things, and topped off with taking all the cigars be had. One, the ring-leader, wanted to know where they kept the water. Some one pointed out the water-cooler, and he inquired if it was good. If they had put anything in it lately. They said ‘no!” Hesaid he'd rather have somebody try it frst, and, pointing to Conkling, said: Ifere, you s—or a b—, take a_drink of that ‘I don’t proposc to run any chances in any of this water business,’ After the party had drank some one suggested, ‘Better go through the passengers,’ but the lender was against it, saying, *W¢ have been an bour here already, and can’t wastcany more time, as trainsare coming up. Must get away.) Just asthey left the leader said, ¢Well, if ‘you sce anyof Allan Pinkerton's men, tell them they lad better come and find us.? THE LRADER. Speaking of the leader, Bushnell says he was avery tall man, wearing a striped coat, dark pants, and hat, with a handkerchicf tied over his face. He had light, straw-colored hair, and was sunburnt. The other members of the crew were, with one exception, all tall men, and had white and red handkerchiefs over their faces, some with eyeholes and_ some with nose boles.

So far as can be learned, the Adams Express Company loses some $4,000, and the United States Compuny sbout’ $12,000; but these amounts may prove to be too small. Reports are in circulation that the loss is much greater than the above, based upon the supposed fact that this train had four days’ express matter from Texas on board; but the express officers liere deny this, and siy that during the break in the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Road their valua- bles have been brought from that State by an- other route. PURSUIT. The raflroad company started the 8heriff of Pettis County with & posse of men in pursuit of the robbers. ~ Gen. Bacon Montgomery, of Se- dulia, o noted fighter of guerrilias during the War, bas also gone in pursuit with a party of picked men, and struck the_trail some 10 miles “south of Otterville. Another party has been sent from Clinton, on the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Road, and still anotler from Lebanou, on the Atlantic & Pacific Road. The entire country between the points named will be thoroughly scouted, and from the well-known character of the men sent out, there is 2 good prospect at least that some of the miscreants will be captured. All the robbers wore masks while at the train. None of them,therefore,were recognized, and so far as is now known no clew to their identity bLus been obtained. —— BROKE OPEN THE JAIL.

After someroutine Lusiness had been disposed of, the President of the Socicty delivered an address, in which he gaves summary of the transactions of the officers during the past ycar, from which we condense ghe following: ~ The total cash on hand at date of last report was - $33,517.83. The re- ceipts, from all gources, for the year, were $219,- 289.12.

The linbilities are 8, COLOR. The following view of the colored-Masons question is contributed to the Voice of Masonry for July: In our judgment, the proposed action of Ohio is utterly insdmaseible; becauee, lli]-l‘ 1cannihilates the doctrine of exclusive juris- ction, 2. Itintroduces into Masonry, for tHe first time, a distinction founded on race. We regret exceedingly to perceive that some good brethren geem to have **lost their head” in consequence of the discussion of this question, and have become unduly excited over it. We even see it stated in the Masonic prints, that the members of one Grand Lodge are scriously proposing u:o place it ‘‘under the protection™ of i Supreme Council of A. Rite. It may be that we are to have a Masonic ffrepressible_conflfct» upon this question: but ‘we have an abiding faith that however the foolish- ness and pasiona of men will contrive to destroy. Masonry, God will overrale all things for good and Dring the institution opt of all its troubles, based upona frmer foundation, and more powerfal thon cver before, to enlighten and elevate mankind. But with this faith, we do not firapose 10 be di- verted by enthusiasm on the one hand, or fear and prejudice on the other from pureaing such course as it shall be given us to see that justice and the welfare of Musonry require.
