Throop wis opposed to put- ting downany more pine blocke sud wasting the people’s money. Tho cedar trees In the North- weat, particularly around Green Day, would fur- nhh cedar blocks to the end of fline almost. Ald. Waldo referred to the fact that the trouhle with pine pavement was not so much that it wore out by use but by rotting. e was very much in favorof the cedar block pavement, Ald. Throop sald red cedar was very much preferable to white cedar.

Mr. Willlams charncter- Izcd thestory as o damnable outrage, A8 o wan- ton, wicked and cruel calumny. Mr, Willlams stated, incldentally, that while he was a nem- ber of the Cabinet the President recelved many filthy and obscene nnonymous lettera af- feeting the different members of the Cabinet und thelr wives. Mr, Willlams, doubtless with- out Intention, by his statement of fucts of this sarl, made himself the cireulator of published storles not less revolting and infamous than those which he endeavored to repel respeeting Nis own houschold. Chatrman Cochrans was extremely unfuie to Mr. Willlams In not permit- ting bim to give the President's deuful of the atory nfter it had been spread oun the Committes records, JAMES 0. BROORS, of the Secret Service, who lald the foundation of the Whisky Ring prosecution in- Chicago, wos examined at great length, Tho deift of his tes- timony can bo bricfly told. Ife maintatned that tho first Datch coutd ensily have been convicted upon the evidence discovercd by himeelf; that tho immunity was a supreme folly, which hasdestroyed the effect of the prose- cutlon, und has allowed the most gulity vil- 1aius to escape; that there were very contradic- tory atatethents made by the Governinent coun- sel respecting tha nature of this hmnunity, and that, as to the difference of opinfon, Wirt Dex- ter stood alone.

Towards Yaryan, Drooks scemecd to have no friendly fecling. He held him in contempt, and described him as a young man who was unevenly balanced and flighty, and who hind an extremely high opinlon of himsclf, This Brooks attributed to the folly of youtlt, Brooks malntained that the neelect of Yaryan tosupply him with papers from Washington which had been taken fromn Chivago greatly interfered with preparing the Chicago cascs, and was o suspl- clous circumstance in Yaryan's career, nANGS showed that he was himsel! opposed to mmu- nity, and that there was division in ghe counsel of the attorneys and a Qif- ference in opinfon between the attornoys and the Tressury Deparitnent. Upon this subject, he constantly maintained that fm- munity was understood both' by Wilson and Dexter, according to the latter’s representation to Brooks, to mean that the Court was to ultt- 1ontely be the tinal Judge as to punishment, and that linmunity only meant appeals to the clem- ency ofthe Court, Brookes recites a conversa- tlon with Wilson and Dexter to show this, THE TEIME, o anid that Bupervisor Matthews maintained the game, and told him on Jan. 4, 1876, that the terms of Immunity wert “Go to the Grond Jurg; tell all you know; go in Cour plend mility, allow judgment . sgalus! distillery property, permit the Government to taka the property, aud throw yourselyes upon tha clemaney of the Court.” TUE SPIRIT OF PROPIECY came upou Brooks fu January, and, in n report which he read from himselr to \‘u»lxburu, of that date, he grapbieally depleted almost tho fdentfeal results which have flown from the grautlng of inmunity. Tna report to the De- nurtinent Jon, 23, Brooks recites a conversation iad with Dexter. This conversation sliows n difference of opinfon betweon Assistant District- Attorney Burke and Dexter us to the ablilty to couvict the firet batch upon_ Brooks' eyldence. In the sumg conversation Dexter pudiated the notfon that immunity meant cs- cape from punishment, und used the words (re- specting such arrangement as to the actlon of the Court), ** That such urrangement would be knocked to pleces Instunter, and very qrnperly 80,” Innconversation with Ayer,Jan, 24, Ayer told Brooks that Dexter was mistaken us to the terma of iImmunity, and Brooks sald Ayer could wot understand how Dexter could have fulled to comprehend tho transaction.
