Springor said that the moro fact that hebad been approached in this way by Finloy wag an insult to his dignity ag. 4 momber of tho Houso, ag it was an attonipt unduly to influence hig vote. Tho allusion tu tho letter to “our. fricnda in Now York,” he thought was intendod tocoorco him with a threat of Mr, Tilden's dis- pleasure.

Mr. Finley was asked If bho knew who wrote tha mnonymnons letter, to which ho replied that he would not charge his worst enemy with having done auch anact, “ When J heard from Done nelly that Springer suspected hin of writing the anonymous letter, It fi ry took ine off my feot, ‘That was the firat 1 had heard of tho letter.’ The Committes oxpect tv get through with this investigation {1 a few days, THE INVESTIGATION, To the Western Assoctated Press, WASHINGTON D.C.
