OF EXTRAORDINARY ‘TYRANNY. Speetal Dispatch to The Tribune. Sanoason County Jar, Sveinariatp, I, April L1,—This is the seventh day I have spew inexpistion of my contempt for the General Assembly, The time has not passed moncto- nously,my experiences, adventures, and observa- tions haying been sufllciently novel to keep my miud inabealthy glow. How it will bo six weeks hence 1 cau't say. ‘Thera ls a possibility that the teuder beauty and: picturesque aspect of the County Jofl may become somewhat worn by famillarity by that thne. ,f beltuve that. this fa the ‘ YIRST TMM IN THE WISTONW.OF THE COUNTRY that a citizen was ever sentito a county jail by any legislative body, cithué National or State, for the offovse with which 1 am charged. In all other cases the imprisonment bos been merely nominal, or at Jenst:the prisoner hag been confined fu some room sor hotel where the ordinary conveniences of life were attainable. In this ense the prisoner fs dragged off toa jail tilled with lousy tramps, wlitch {s not even ap propriate and decent for thelr confluement. ‘The Hon. James Herrington and Mr. A. M. Her- rington, of Chicago, called Jhst night, but, after remnoluing o few moments in my spertment, they wero 80 OVERCOME NY THE DAML; BICKENING VAPORS and.the bent of the place, that they were com- polled tomake arusb for fresh alr, bidding o bnsty good-by. Last night William Schwartz, a Nttle Jew contined here, created somo oxcite- ment by trying to bump his:brains out againat o brick wall, Willlam’s fortitude, it seems, gave way under the preasure of circumstauces, and he attempted to mako way with himeclf, ‘Tho angelle dreams of. that cherub of a jailor, Jack Allen, were rudely interrupted by the nolse, and Schwartz was obliged to dosiat. Every morning the prisoners are allowed to coma out of tholr cells Into the hall for exercise, und fur an hour or more the babel of nofees is somewhat of an impediment to tranquillity of thought. Long- tatled, rhythroical oaths, with such rugged vigor und appalling originality. ns I never heard be- foro, come tumbling down the stairs, and ex- plode in my ears like hond-erenades, Vat Page ond Andy Iurley—the formor a post-office rob- ber and the latter a burglar— HAD A FIGUT IN THE TALL this morning, which brought all tho boys to the spot tu seo what golug on, ‘The gocd- naturcd jailer, unwilling to Interrupt any lyersion, ond- kuowing they had no weapons with which to kill each other, allowed the scuf-° fleto goon. A bloody nose, a few scratches, anda black eyo or two was the only result, Waving whacked and pummeled cach other to their hearts’ contont, they were compolled to desist for want of wind, und retire to nurse thelr bruises. YESTERDAY that timorous body, the House of Representn- tives, was thrown into a wild state of excite. ment by asimple request in writing from me usking permlssion of the House to be present when Mr, Granger made nig statement before the Special Comnmitteo of Tnveatigntiun, ‘The cominuntention was addressed tu the Speaker of the House, and Is as follows: ouMON Jail. ov Sangamon Counrt, April 10, i dion, Wittiam A. James, fer if the douse of Hepresentutiear Sin itis rtud that the Select Committee of tha tious, ‘ot which tbe Hon, Patrick Harry IsChalraan, will examine certain members of the House in relation to the subject of the question propounded to me by yourself un the Athof April, 1870, If the report referred to te tru, Lbave the honor to rennest the perniadion of the House of Ropresoutatives to be present before eaia Commitice when any of the members of the Thouay are cxamined touching the subject referred to, Fuanw B. Nevins, UPON THR RECEIUT OF THIS WEasAGE, through the usual offlclal channel, the Speak- er, with a chill trotting up and down bis apinal coluinn, hasty called a member to the Chair and precipitately retired with some of the lawyers of the House for ‘cousultation, ‘These sages read over tho mecendiary docu- ment in question with great care and gravity, and discussed it at ome length. It waa tinal. ty serjourly determined that, us the prisoner was io contempt of the House, no communl- cation should be recelyed from him, and the Speaker, ju accordauce with thut decfsion, refused to present the request for the action of the House. How ov carth 1 am to get intocommunication with this lofty vody should I nappen tocouctude to answer the queae tlons propounded by the House lam uuvable to tell, ‘The comprehensive wisdom of this decis- jon will recommend steclf to the fatelligence of the btate. * BOTTOM FACTS, Something bas been vald fo regard to the man- ner in which this Investigation was boguo, aud 8 misapprehension seems to exist conceralng the facts., The correspoudent of Tux THipune published what ho heard, but never told Mr. Barry, or any ong elec, that he would discloso the game of bis informant bu 1879--- SEX TEEN «The Chicago Daily Tri PAGES fore the resolution was proposed. Indeed, he was consulted by a number of members of the House on that subject, who contemplated in- troducing the resolution, and hfs invariable re- ply was that, In his opinion, there was suMlictent grounds for au Investivation without his testl- mony. The night before the resolution was in- troduced Mr, Barry called on Tus Trinunn correspoudent at the Leland Hotel, AND INVORMED MISC that a prominent member of the House desired to ree him. Le dld not disctose the object of the Interylow, ‘Lhe correspondent accompanied Mr, Barry to the gentleman's room at the hotel, where, among other things, this charge of lrib- ery was talked over. ‘The gentleman adyleed Mr. Barry to tntroduca the resolution, — There were present on that histurical occaston, besides the correspondent, this gentleman, Mr. Barry, and Mr. datnes Hourne, a englacer, all of whom vartlcipated fo the conversation, and who will probably confirm this statement. On the fol- lowing tnoruing Mr. Barry iutroductd bia reso- lution, aud made his famoun speech, neither of which Tie ‘Trinune knew anything about pre- vlousto that thne, ‘Tue Trivun® never gave Mr. Barry the information on which be based his Speech, or any other {pformation, except what’ tad already been published. ‘This is a plaln narration uf facts which cannot be misun- derstood, and which can be corroborated by the gentleman above named. MOKR OF GRANGER'S BILLS, It is possible Mr. Granger may again demand to go before 4 spectal committee of investiga- tlou, for, fu addition to the bills regulating gas companies, the Life-Insurauce bill, the Sleep- ing-Cur bill, and the ‘Telegraph-Company bill, there fs another bill (344), for the purpose of repeallug the $5,000 limitation in cases woere people are killed by raftroad accldents. As the statute now js, no judgment can be obtained against a railroad company for killing o man for more than $5,000. This Iimi- tation was fixed that the - railroad compantes wight not bo erlppled and rulued by some disaster, Jike the other four billa futroduced by Granger, this one, also, repuscs ‘on the table, ready to be taken up at avy mo- ment. ANOTHER, House Bill 328, relating to Recelvers and As- siguees of savings banks, was nso introduced by Granger, und fs {u the order of third reading. Should Granger desire ft, the Committee, it is sald, will perinit Granger to explain whether or not his constituents fu McHenry County have any interest {n these bills, and whether be wos asked to introduce them, or liad any more motive than the $2 motive mentioned yesterday in the Sleeping-Cur bill. Granger has, at his own request, been allowed to yind- ente hirascelf, ant has succeeded so completely that it fs more than probable that many If vot all the remalning 152 meurbers will be clamor- ingto be brought before the Comittee also, though it cau’t be expected that they will make os full a showing of motive, principle, and knowledge of the wants of the people, aud the evils to be corrected, a8 has been made in this case. Of one thing the great moneyed Interests of the State may be certaln, and that fs, that ‘THR BUACKMAILING RINGS which extated heru at the begiuniug of the ees- sion, and whien at one tine it was thought threatened to swallow up every considerable - mercantile enterprise of the State, have been frightened, and been compelled to Tet go their yamplre-grips through the efforts of ‘Tne Tuwune, though it has resulted in the impris- oning of a correspondent, The eas interests of “I-Chleago-were attacked by Wouse bill 827, the sleeping-car companies were threatened by Houso bill 252, the Mfe insurauco com- panies were menaced by House bill 253, the Western Union Telegraph Com- pauy was compelled to fight for life by the Introduction of House Bill 254, the raflroad companies were harassed’ by Houso will 434, aud some fifteen or twenty Insurance bills of various sorts havo neon {utroduced by members, with provisions, ike those mantioncd abaye, of a queationable character, to say tho least. Probably no futuro Legislature for years to come Will be afllicted with the plundering rings, Although no member has been implicated in ro- ceiving money by thia Investigating Committee or by any newspaper charges, one thing fs very apparent In these proceedings, and thut is that the House of Kuprescntatives is ACTUATED NY VINDICTIVE MOTIVES fn imprisoning Tue Trung correspondent, und not by a desire to purify its own body. ‘This Is evident from the fact that Granger was informed that the charges pointed towards him, and he has beou before the Committeo and vin- dicated himself. Therefore, the necessity of the correspondent answerlng any questions cou- cernlug hint has passed. His answer now would amount to nothing one way or the other, Yet he is stilt held in prison, notwithstanding the original pretended cause for his detention hog entirely disappeared, und the eubjecs raised by the question propounded is nu longer even pending before the Legislature. Granger has been cxouerated unl discharged, The eqrrespondont testified ta nothtug else, Should Granger instat on anpear- ing before the Committee again, Mr. E. M. Halnes, as the persoual attorney of Tux Trio- une correspondent, will appear und crosé-cx- amine hin, MOREA. CONTINUATION OF THY INVESTIOATION OF THE CHARGES OF BLACKMAIL, Apectat Diepatch to The Tribune. Sprinaris.y, 1), April 11,—The McCrea In- yestizating Committee reaumed its labore this afternoon, with a amuall but very select oudi- ence, Catakin Kearney, in response to an appeal for o speedy oppurtunity to testify, was the tlrat witnese, He was a member of the Grand Jury which investigated the printing of the delin- quent tax-llst, nnd mot McCrea for the first ‘time on that oceasion, Ho met Charley Reed about the same time. He atated thut ho was 9 friend of McCrea, and remarked that he hoped the Democrats on the Grand Jury would giva the affair on impartial investigation, ‘The wit- nesa suid he had determined to do so, Recd did not ask the witness about the testimony presanted, Reed did not represcut bimect£ os McCrea’s counsel, On cross-cxamiuation noth- tug of interest was developed. N. 8, WILLIAMSON, a Chicago lawyer, was the uext witness, Ho had frequently acted as McCroa’s attorney; has soins kuowledge, by rumor, of a Grand-Jury tus vestigation of McCrea, When the newspapurs firat pitched into MeCrea about tt he consulted the witness, und wanted to know ff he had vet- ter sue the nowapapers. ‘The witness had o consultation with Churlea Reed, and determined it was better to ask for an investigation by the Grund Jury, He knew some of the mem- bers of the Grand Jury, Ho knew Bolland and Kearney, He know something about what was golng on every day durlug the inveatl- gation, Ho talked with Bolland several tim: and kept posted protty well from thu newa; papers and from talks with witnesses, He bad no kuowledge that Bolland wasin McCrea's ofice dunug the progress of tho tuvestigation, Hu recelyed no moucy from McCrea, except for services, and what be disbursed to Charley Recd for what he did. ‘Tho wituess declined to stato how much he recelyed, or how much be paid Reed. ‘The Chair atated that the queation mieht bo asked how much bosides attorneys’. feos, Mr, Hiddto fnelsted that =the — question was competent. io Chair sald it would bo diificult to soparate the ftems. A‘long de- “bate followed as to the form iu which the ques- tlon should be put, whon Btiles sald McCrea would tell if they wanted to kuow, - Willlam- son then sald tbat during the investietion hy GOT NO NONBY, and did not until bis anuual acttlement with McCrea, in January following.

The witners did nut know positjvely who wrot the report of the Grand Jury. On cross-exa nation, the wituess said the ° testimony before the = Grant tury was . printe in the newspapers every day, and from that Roures the couusel jearned what was zolny on. The witness bad no recollection of getting in- formatlou from witnesses or jurymen. COL, HENKY W. PARKAN, Business Manager of the Journal, was next aworn, He testified that his paper printed the delinquent tax-tst, und was paid for the job about $44,000. In order to get the job, he worked very hard, ‘Ihe witness got all the peo- ple bo knew to afd bim Jn berging for, fle was at work about four months continuousty. Ho sent George L, Dunlap, Joho Do Kovea, George Sturges, Mr. Hangood, Sidney Kent, N. K. Fairbaok, J. K, Fisher, and others to see Mc- Crea and press the Juurnalts claims, He had frequent talke with Hapgood, onc of McCrea'a bondsmnen, and urged him to do the utmost for the Journal, ‘The witness wever made any promise of any money or other consideration for the Job, He never promised to pay anybudy anythlug in any shape. Te never expected to pay Mr. McCrea any monoy. To Senator Hunt—the Journal nover in any ‘way or by auy person paid for the list. L, 1. ROBINSON. of Chicago, was the next witness. Ho testified that he had known McCrea very intimately for twenty-four years, moro particularly iu a social and political way than in busi- ness. ‘The witness knew something about printing the taxtist. He had talked ed with McCrea about it. He couldn't say juat when at first, but thought !t was shortly after election, He advised McCrea to give the Ilst to Tite Cutcaco Tninung, On sonie occastons he spoke of the rumors that other papers would make offersfor the list. “Thewwitoess {insisted that ‘Tue Tripuns had in the first place clatmed it. It had not had the printing for many years. Tbe other papers had. The people fo his dis- trict thought that ft would be GooD POLICY FOR M'chEA TO GivE IT TO THE TRINUNE, McCrea sald that Shuman had given him o Memorandum showing what Tux Trisunse had had. . McCrea further safd bls bondsmnen, tead- ing Republicans and Democrats, were pushing it for the Tuter-Ocean and the Journal, Tnx ‘Trupune had no ono but witness and Hesing, Finally, he safd he was tired of being harassed, and had come to a dermination to give it out, The witness asked McCrea to wait until he could sce Tie Trmuns. McCrea said to the witness that he would do so, and wit- ness could talk with his (MeCrea’s) brother, The witness never ngreed to accept any money on Setting out the contract. He simply did what he could to ald the giving outofthe Nst. McCrea nover suid anything ubout auy contract, but the witness thouuht McCrea, by his sction, {intimated that the wit- ness ‘ COULD FIX IT UP with hig (McCrea's) brother, McCrea told wit- ness thut Hapgood had seen Cowles, of Tne ‘Trimong, and he (Cowlea) offered $12,000. ‘This was prior to the conversation just detatled, The witocss told McCrea ne couldn't afford to take acent for It, and he sald Leshouldn’t, When the witness suggested going over to Tue TuuuNs, hy asked McCrea whom be could talk to after he got back, McCrea said be could talk to his brother, Abo McCrea. If any arrangement could, ‘bu made with Abe, It would be satisfactory. The wituess then got a friend to go to Tug TrisuNE with bin. Itwas Mr. Billings. BSUllnge went {nto the office, talked with Cowles, and camc out in a few minutes and sald it was all right. The witness then went to Cowles nnd talked with him, Ho sald that Tor Tripune was going to loge ft because they TIAD DONE NOTHING. ‘The witnoss told Cowles to get ble friends to- gether und go and acc McCrea. Cowlcs was astonished, und sald AfeCrea had promised to let Tux Tnimune hove it. Cowles further sald one of McCren’s bondamen had stated that the Mat could be had for $12,000. ‘The witness told Abe McCrea that Tua Trimune wanted the printing, and had offered $14,000 or $15,000. ‘The witness was to meet Cowles next: morning, When the witness told Abe McCrea of Tuz ‘Trinune's offer, he didn’t say austhing. When Cowles and witness met next day, Cowles had not done anything,—hud net “seen ao man.” ‘The witness asked Cowles if he would PAY IT IN MONEY OR IN GOVERNMENT NONDS. He sald he would pay ju money, ‘The witness wrote a short order, giving the job to Tuk ‘Trinune, Cowles read it, und sald it would notdo, He then wauted to know how much there waa in it, aud stated that the office would have to buy new type. Cowles then wrote an order to his own Iking. When talking with Abe, he (the witness) told Abe that he must take the money. ‘The next morning, otter the witness’ interview with Cowles, the witness went]to McUrea’s office, and took Cowles’ order with him. Ho left it at the oltlce, aud told Abo that bis brother MUST BION IT, Tho witness left und came back afterwards, Abe then said bls brother would never sign it, although he had beca twice asked to doit. Sam H. McCrea cawe In afterwards, und wrote on a couple of plecea of paper which he toro up, re- marking that John Wentworth said that a man was a fool to writes political letter. The witness told McCrea thathe had helped him (McCrea) on threo different times, but hereafter he would have nothing more to do with tt. Tho witness then went over to ‘Tux Titwune and saw Cowles, who sald ho had tel- egraphed to Joseph: Medill, who answered that he would not have it on those terms. Tho witness went back to McCrea, and gave him the order which bad been written by Cowles, Bay- it MIGNT UE OF UBER, Tho witness know Charles Reed. He took an actlyo part with the Grand Jury, presumably to preyeut an indictment. Willlamson aud Reed had been to the witness’ house and talked the niatter over. Riddle usked the wituoss if Rocd had aver been to him to get money during the fuvestica: tion, ‘The witness hesitated fur soyeral miu- utes, and tuen omphatically sald, “No.” Rid- dic then asked !f the witness bad over asked bim for spy moncy for any purpoee, ‘The witness reptied that the prosecution had no tight to ask. ‘Iho Chalr insisted thut, if the queation had any councetion with the matter at issue, it must be answered.
