THE INQUISITION. GLOVER'S DEPARTMENT EMBARRASSED BY A FRIEND. Spectal Dispatch to The Tribune. ‘WasiwseroN, D. C., July 20.—The Glover Committce to-day again refused to permit ex- Sergeant-at-Arms Ordway to testify, notwith- standing he has been here ten days waiting. The Committee even refused to indicate any time when he might be beard. The charges against Ordway are utterly untenable. This is not true, however, of some of the charges pre- sented to the Committee. Especially is it not true as to Price M. B. Young, a Democratic member of the last House. He turns up before the Committee in & very unpleasant light. He lived fast and associated with the Boss Shepherd crowd here. He was after a while discovered to have been one of the partics in tie celebrated real-cstate pool, in which he was put down for a share of $5,000, or one-fifth. His explanation of this was that be put the money in the hands of his friend Huntington, who put it in the real estate pool without_his knowledze. The Col mittee on the Real-Estate Pool has now discov- ered the fact that Young got this money from the Freedman’s Savings Bank. This s only another instance of the systematic plundering of the poor freedmen in which the Cooke an Shepherd gang indulzed until the bank failed. This ex-Congressman is an ex-rebel soldier, and a “Southern gentleman, by gawd, sir,” of the most pronounced type. THE RAID ON ROBESON. The dgbate in the House to-day on the report of the Naval Committee against Robeson could not have been reassuring to the Democrats. There has not been a day this session when so many speeches of marked ability have becn made. The astounding audacity of the parti- sanship of the Democrats was laid -bare, the skulking meanness of the methods of the party demanstrated, and the fact made apparent that to compass political ends a‘1ajority of the-Na- val Committee have violated their sense of honor. For four months the doors of the com- mittee-room were closed, an injunction of se- crecy of theSpanish inquisition sort placed up- on the lips Of every comnmitteeman, and upon every person who entered the doors. Hundreds of witnesses were examined from various parts of the country, without the privileze of cross- examination, these witnesses all discharged, and 4,000 printed pages of testimony taken before the doors were opened. Then the testimony was handed the Secretary of the Navy, and he was told he could answer it. These points were very strongly preseuted in tie debate, as well as other facts, from which it appears that TESTINONY HAD BEEN DELIBERATELY SUP- PRESSED which tended to vindicate the reputation of many of the Bureau officers who have grown gray in the service, and whose reputation the Democrats seek to ruin in one general condemna- tion. These points were so strongly set forth that the Démocrats winced under them, and Admiral Whitthorn, driven to a corner, said that some of them he would explain. Alto- gether it was a bad day for the Democracy in presenting thie report, in which they declared that after seven months investigation they have no knowledge whether Robeson should be im- peached or not. THE INDIAN BUREAD. The action of the Indian Committee yester- day in rejecting the partisan rc{gon condemning the administration of Indian aflairs is likely to result in the adoption of a report which will approve of the present administration of that B‘llxru:m, and will declare that there is nothing whatever in the evidence to warrant any charges ageinst that office in this report. There is little doubt that the majority of the Demo- crats will be compelled to concur. LOUISIANA. There will be a minority report from the Louisiana Committee, unless the Democrats consent to stick to the facts. There will in any event be a minority report by Mr. Donnell upon the Coushatta massacre, as it is claimed that the report of the Sub-Committce on that sub- ject is both prejudiced and ignorant. GOOD ENOUGH FOR GOODE, OF VIRGINIA. Speciat Dispatch to The Tribune. TWASHINGTON, D. C., July 20.—Nobody has secemed as yet to understand why so many of the Northern Democrats joined with the Southerners in voting to continue Mr. Goode, of the Norfolk (Va.) district, in his seat in the face of the demonstration by Mr. Thompson, of Massachusetts, that Mr. Platt was not only en- titled prima facic to the certificate of election, but that he was clected. Among those who voted to seat Mr. Goode were Mr Hewitt, of New York, and many of the most respectable Democrats in the House. It has trans- pired that the seating of Goode was the result of a bargain between the Southern friends of Mr. Goode, and the friends of Mr. Tilden. Mr. Goode is a member of the Banking and Currency Committee, and has voted witl the soft-moneymen until recent- ly. The Tilden men have been working with the Southern Democrats to stave off any action at this session on the Resumption act, and the Southerners have agreed NOT TO.VOTE FOR A REPEAL of tne date of the act. Mr. Goode, at the last meeting_but one of the Banking and Cur- rency Committee, absented himself, and will mot act with the soft:moncy men again, it is understood, at this session. Under these circumstances the Tilden men were willing to give Mr. Goode his seat, and their votes for him constitute the con- sideration for non-action on the Resumption act. The bargain i3 so secure that Mr. Tilden finds he can trust to it, and he will accordingly make public his letter of acceptance early next wecek, probably on Tuesday morning. WILSON’S 8BTORY. THB EX-SOLICITOR I3 O BE ANNIHILATED PORTHWITH. Special Dispatch to The Tribune. ‘Wasgiscros, D. C., July 29.—Plaisted, Re- ‘publican member of the Whisky Committec ex- amining Bluford Wilson, will subject the latter to a rigid cross-cxamination. Plaisted claims that Wilson's evidence conclusively shows that the” President was entirely in sympathy with the general purposes of the Whisky-Ring prosecution. District-Attorney Bangs has been summoned, and will probably be examined on Monday. It is not unlikely that Storrs will be called upon | to explain how he came into possession of the coufidential circular from the Attorney-Gen- eral’s office not intended for publication, and why he asked that it be printed. Senators Logan and Sergeant and Gen. Hurl- but are said to be quite’ indignant at the nse of their names by Wilson in his testimony, and seek an opportunity to be heard in their own behalf. Someof the Committecmen say, how- ever, that they will resist such application, espe- cially from the Senators, as at this period of the session they do not wish to extend the scope of the inquiry. It is even said that the President has letters from Gen. Webster REFLECTING UNFAVORABLY UPON WILSON which he may conclude to give to the press. The Euem‘ng Star reflects the spirit of the op- position to Bluford Wilson in the following paragraph: ‘The testimony of Bluford Wilson was given with euch remarkable readiness and sequence that some of those who beard it declare that it was prepared in advance, and stndied in all its bearings with as much care a8 a great legal argnment. It 18 freely asserted that the whole thing bears the marks of a conspiracy, of which ex-Secretary Bristow is the party of the first part, and Blaford Wilson the sec- ond. Itis further nsscrted on that side of the question that Bristow is PUTTING WILSON FORWARD 89 o cats-paw to do that which President Grant challenged him to do, and wiich he did not. Ex- Solicitor Wilson will again be heard on Tuesday next, and in the meantime it i3 indicated that Gen. Grant will be heard from in the same man- ner. THE PARDON-SEEKERS. The attorneysof the sentenced whisky thicves are still here o sceure the pardon or the miti- gation of sentence of their clients. Attorney- General Taft is generally understood not to favor these applications. Upon being interro- fated this morning, he said there i3 nothing that can be said about it. There scems to be great sensibility upon the subject. There is a perfect storm of applications for pardons, as if the Administration were to try all the whisky cases over again. Washington Hesing has gone to New York, but will return here. COL. MATTHEWS. TMPORTANT STATEMENT BY REVENUB-AGENT MILLER. To the Editor of The Tribune. CmicaGo, July 29.—DMy attention has been called to Washington correspondence in this morning’s papers which .appears to reflest on Col. A. C. Matthews, late Supervisor of Internal Revenue of this District, in regard-to attempts to work up criminal prosecutions against various gentlemen in this State. As Revenuc Agent I was inti- mately associated with Col. Matthews in all the prosecutions here, and with Supervisor Hedrick and Col M. in the prosecutions at Milwaukee, and I can truthfully state ‘that during all the time I mever saw or heard anything from him indicating a desire to work up a case against any innocent man. Col. M. was placed in peculiar and often trying circumstances, surrounded as he was by an army of “squeal- ers,” some of whom, I am confident, would Dave “given away ” their mothers, by false and manufactured testimony, to sdcure immunity for themselves. Some of them were continually making charges agaiust the purity of different parties, and” doubtless the same charges were being made on the streets; but Col. Matthews should not be held responsible for their idle and often malicious statements; they had violated law and degraded themsclves, and it was but mnatural that they should de- sire to drag others down to their own lerel. 1 do know that Col. M. was continually anunoyed by the charges being made by them, and very frequently expressed his disbelief in their truth in terms more forcible than classic, and often declared in most emphatic terms that he would not be a party to smirching or blacking any one unless fully” convinced of their guilt. I fecl that in justice to Col. Matthews I should make the above statement, and I can do so without fear of my motives being impugned, s itis well known tothe revenue force that I have always protested against the granting of iru- munity to 4 single person in_crcer to use them as witnesses on the part of the Goyernment. _Very respectiully, Jomy B. MuLen. NOTES AND NEWS. THE SILVER BILL. Special Dispatch to The Tribune. WasmINGTON, D. C.July 29.—It appem. i be conceded that if the Silver bill can ever be brought to a vote it will pass the House, and that if it passes the House there is lit- tle doubt that the Scmatg will concur. The difficulty still is to discover the means for bringing it toa vote. Those having it in charge are confident that it-will be brought toa. vote next week. A good many men who have hitherto opposed th bill are indicating an in- tention to vote for it. They justify themselves upon the ground that they caunot withstand the sentiment in their Committees. A new cle- ment, however, has entered into the question by the rise in silver. Kelley and others who are now prominent 5u}x)lponcrs of the bill :)E{zoscu a similar bill when silver was. more valuable than the greenback. Itis conceded, thercfore, for consistency’s sake, that these classes of men will necessarily be obliged to abandon this bill if silver continues to increase in value. RIVER AND HARBOR BILL. A considerable lobby of Western men have arrived here to urge the passage of the River and Harbor bill. . A proposition” has been made to frame a compromise bill appropriating $5,000,000.

A meeting of representative German Repub~ hcan.s was held yesterday afternoon in Ger- mania Hall, 70 North Clark street, for the pur- pose of consultation, and to hear the report of the Committee on preparing an address to our German-American citizens. Mr. William Vocke called the meeting to or- der, and Mr. William Floto was called upon to preside. He stated the object of the meeting. On the 15th inst. a meeting had been held for the purpose of organizing a German-American Hayes and Wheeler Club, and a committee was appointed to prepare an address. Most of the gentlemen were present by invitation. The following were among those in attend- ance: John Hoffman, Col. Louis Schaffuer, Wilkelm Floto, Lorenz Brentano, Georze Schneider, *Emil Dictzsch, Richard Michaelis, Dr. T. J. Bluthardt, J. B. Gastenmann, Ernst Prussing, George C. Prussing, Caspar Butz, Mr. Polacheck, John Buchler, William Vocke, Fra: cis Lackner, Ad Loeb, Dr. Geiger, C. Voltz, Andrew Groh, Christ Hissenpfing, E. F. C. Kl , H. J. Christoph, L.

Mr. Vocke moved that a_committee of three be (:lxppoinlcd on permanent organization. Car- ried. The Chair appointed fessrs. Vocke, Biroth, and Vogle. Mr. Lorenz Brentano, from THE COMMITTEE ON ADDRESS, then read the document. It wus signed by Messrs. George Schneider, Lorenz Breatano, Louis C. Huck, Richard Michaclis, Caspar Butz, Withelm Floto, and Wilhelm Vocke, as the Committee. The address, which was a powerful ar- raignment of the Democratic party, told some wholesome truths, which were received with en-~ thusiasm by the audience present. Those Seu- tences in which the truc colors of the Demo- cratic reforms were depicted were specially ap- plauded. Mr. Vocke moved that it be adopted. Mr. Francis Lackner spoke upon the address, and said that they should not ignore the fact thus refoim was wanted in the administration of the Republican party, and that the corrupt should be put down. If the Liberal element came back to the Republican party, it wanted assur- ance that that the best clement should go in hand in hand, and work, not alone for the cloc- tion of liaycs and Wheeler, but also for re- form.... He alluded to the Ictter of Carl Schurz, ublished in THE TRIBUNE of yesterday, and he insisted upon it that reform should be carried { out within the party. They should not defend corruption, but insist upon reform in all branches of the Government. The Chairman stated that the Committee on Address bad been in session fourtcen days, ang Mr. Lackner had the privilege of being pres- en MR. CASPAR BUTZ then spoke on the subject, and said that the Liberals of 1572 should show to the world that they had nothing to take back; that they still advocated their principles, now as then, and that they still opposed corruption. It was now time for Reformers to assert themselves and bring reform into the Republican party. He looked with disgust upon the cries of r:form of the Democrats. It was this element which had elected Grant. ‘The Republican party had hou- est men at its head. It had the same principles to-day in 1876 as it had in 1856, aud it wus the duty of all to sustain it. Mr. Brentano said that Mr. Lackner should not have gone back to 1872 only, but to 1S5t It was an _address to the ~Republicans of Illinois, and as such should be pted. It was meant as an address to Republicans, and as such should be supported and accepted. He denied that the Republican party was corrupt, but there were some_corrupt men in it, who were fast being rooted out. MR. GEORGE SCHNEIDER said that he had becn ill for eizht days past. He was surprised that Mr. Lackner demanded that a recognitiop of the Liberal clement of 1872 should be thrown into the address. Mr. Butz had the draft of the address in his possession for some time, as 2 member of the Committee, and he had no fault to find with it. Hehad been twenty-six years a Republican. He was nota Greeley and Brown man. This nation wanted men, and such menas Greeley was were not the men to control this {frcnb nation. They spoke of corruption. They alluded to1872. What had the Liberals dome to chedc the tided _He drew a_comparison between, Tilden and Hayes. In Hayes was Reform. Rutherford B. Hayes was a manof honesty, ani he would bring reform and honesty in the Government. _He knew the ditference between rigat and wrong, and he (Huayes) was the representative and standard-bearer of the Republicun sarty. Mr. Richard Michaelis also_e: cd “his course in supporting the Liberal ticiet s 1572, and also as 2 member of the Commitzee ¢a Ad- dress. He thought that it was not the guesion to-day as to who were right, regular Reput lic- ansor the Liberal Republicans of 1872~ Weo they wanted was to demand and cormp#l raorm, and to get rid of every objectionable element. Mr. Ernst Prussing also spoke bricfiy. and ad vocated the nddress, saying that machize pols- ticians had been defeated in Cincionsti axd fo Wwas now a question os between men,—ibe can- didates of the partics. MR. WILLIAM YOCEE then detailed the work of the Comr=ittee, and the discussion had in its sessfons. Tees had nothing to regret, and bad nothing 0 eXjcct from the party fn 1872. They had acvd with the Republican party, not from personal motives. for they had no axes to z—zd. but from principle. In all the work of the Com- mittee not a word of objection was bean! frem Mr. Butz. Mr. Lackner had been invited to tue sessions of the Committee, but he did ot come. Further discussion followed, which wa;, partic- fpated in by Messrs. Rosenthal, Dietzsch, and others. Mr. Dietzsch stated that they did not come to gather wisdom. It was their purposc to draw back into the Republican party the Ger- man voters who were on the fence. The Com- mittee on Address had thercfore drawn up the document with that end in view. They had to make concession to the Liberal party. They had to act with policy. Tne Republican party was large, and they should aim to do that which would prove satisfactory to the masses. g szmz&:}czlnov?n. & Mr. Rosenthal moved to refer the address back to the Committee, they to report ut a mcctiniw be held next Saturday afterivon at 5 o'clock. Mr. Butz favored the reference to a new com- mittee, they to report after Tilden had written his letter of acceptance. 2 Mr. Garteman wanted the address adopted, but not till after Tilden had written his Ictte: Mr. ‘Samuel Strauss and others _spoke, ‘n the motion to refer back the address to a vy~ cial committce of seven was put and carrivd. The new Committee was appointed as ful- lows: Messrs. Brentano, Butz, Schncider, Ladl ner, Vocke, Michaelis, and Rosenthal. * Dr. J. T. Bluthardt thought that they had been acting without order. They had been in session two hours without_accomulishin thing.
