The hour to which rajournment was taken was considerably past before any of the principal actors put {n sn appearance, with the exception of Mr., Bheldon, onc of the memorial- ists. About 10 o'clock Messrs. Coooer and Knlckerbocker grrived, and soon afterwords the Committee filed in} followed by Judze Blodgett ond his counsel. The Homn. J. D, Caton also took n seat besido the respondent's counsel. There was a very slim attendance at the open- fne ot the proceedings, as compared with the previous day, but the room gradually filied up, particularly whon A. C.” Hesing. came on the scene, during whose - testimony It was crowded with Iawyers, business-men, ‘and others, who took up all the scsting capacity, nnd wore in some cases glad to secure standing-room. The Chairman having called the meoting to order, Mr. Cooper stated that he had obtained sub- panas for Mr. Willlam Henry Smith and Mr, Raster, nolthier of whom were present. The next witness whom he desired to examino was Mr. Vocke, Gen. Leake sald that Mr, Vocke was entirely unable to come out of his room, aund could not be present to-duy, Mr. Vocke haa desired him to say that he would be very glad {f the Com- mittes could take hia testimony st his huuse, and thought he should bo ablo to'sit up on the following day (Friday), and would furnish every facility thut be could to sccommodate the pur- tlea. ‘The Chalrman—Is he not In a condition to give his teatimony to-day?

Cooper sald he desired to ask Mr, Vocke only & very few questions, and would interrupt bim as littie as possible. If Mr. Vocke had his mind, und was able to sit up, his deposition might be taken that day without tujury to him, Hea could send for Mr, Vocke's family physiclan, and fcs that gentleman determine whether it would be Infurlous to taka Mg, Vacke's deposi- tloncraot. Ifit would not, it was important thut it should be tuken, as Mr. Vocke miiht be still worse the noxt day. The examination need not tuke ovér iifteen or twenty minutes. ten.

Leako said that, as far as Mr. Vocke was concerned, bo was desirous to promate tho wishes of the Committee, Mr. Culberson wished to know whether it would not be convenleat for the physician toap- pear before the Committeoaud state Mr, Vocke's actual condition, Gen. Leako said ba presumed o, but he was informed that it would uot be eafe for 3r. Vocke to come out of his bouse before five or six days. The Chalrman said they did not propose to ask Mr. Vocku to come out of his house.
