Extensive Safe Robbery Diamonds, Geld Watches. » Moten—-A Brick Wall and Iron Safe Cut Through. ‘This morning, rome time between the hours Of one and five o'clock, one of the most daring and succe stul burglaries we have ever been called on to notice was perpetrated—the scene being a buildg very near Pennsylvania ave- nue, on one of the most frequented thorough- fares, with persons Nving within forty feet of it on eciiber side, we reier to the — nbroker’s es- tablisbment of Messrs. 8. Goldstien & Co., No. 209 44 street, a few doors above the avenue. ‘The burglars effected an entrance to the prem- ises by cutting through the back wall of brick, fourteen inche= thick, making a hole on the in side of about 16 inches by 20, and on the outside about 29 by inches. Having got into the back Foom they commenced work on the large safe in Bhich the most valuable goods were deposied. ‘This is a large-sized sate or Wilder’s patent. and in the lower leit corner of the "upper panel of the door in which is the luck, a hole was cut, appar- ently with coli chisels, and one of the bolts be- ing broken, the door was opened by being prized with a “jimmy.” From this side of the safe they took a number of valuable watches, dia- monds, ard costly jewelry, with which plander they made off by the same way they came. On the members of the firm entering the es- tablishment this mor ning they fornd on the floor Several cold chisels, ‘-jimmies,”” and other im- plements which had been used, all of which are Of the very best quality. They also found in the yard a number of rings less valuable than the Soods carried off, which had been dropped or thrown aw In the safe there was a quantity . gold-mounted opera glasses, Sc, not deemed valuable enough to carry off, and the other door of the safe was not opened, probably for want of time. The key to that door, however, was in the hands Of the burglars, and they left it on top of the safe. Had they opened that side they could have helped themselves to money, a large amount being there. Messrs. Goldstein & Co. estimate their loss to be at least $10,000, but will not_be abl to state their exact losses until they make a careful ex- amination of their bouks. ‘The news of the affair spread rapidly this morning, and large numbers of persons were soon about the place, some anxious to see the work of the burglars and others making in- Fe, as to the safety of articles placed in pawn. e detectives have promptly taken the case in band, and if is to be hoped that they may be able to get the operators and their plunder.

Report of the Sei ‘The Committee on Judiciary of the Senate, who were instructed by that body on the 18th of April last to inquire and report as to whether any improper attempts had been made to intla- ence the yotes of Senators on the ecae sat then pending, reported to the nal aces f e co sag LF signed by Senators » Edmunds, Conkling, Carpenter, and ‘Thurman, ‘Theystate that thay have had tees difficulty in ascertaining facts by reason of the unwillingness of sever: who were in a position to the trath of matters about which were ini ated to disclose facts within their know! The first witness examined was Hon. James Hughes, formerly a member of the House of Representatives from Indiana, who testified that a man named Porter called on him and in- formed him that $10,000 in railroad bonds would be *‘put up” to secure the vote of Senator Uar- nter against the Bingham amendment, and witness to negotiate with Senator Car- penter on the subject, which witness declined. ‘The committee next examined Lewis Porter, above referred to; who is assistant postmaster of Wi He hesitated, and declined to an- swcF questions, but finally admitted that he had called upon J Hughes to employ him as an attorney in the fa matter, and had sul stantially him $5,000, whieh he was to et from Mr. Avery; that Mr, Avery had cog uuld ascertain how the Bingham amendment stood in the Senate it would be worth $10,000 to him. a pace director in the notch and Ibany railroad of Georgia, admits having gone to see Porter to talk about the he should have been willing to use $10,000 legal- ly and roverly to ‘get the Dinglam amendment out of the way, and admits that he went to New York to get people to write letters to Se 4 “that he had probably asked twenty to write letters to Mr. ling and Governor Fenton, ans that}that has cost money.” Henry M. Atkinson, a nephew of Senator Tipton, testifies that J. L. Gibbs said to him that he would rather give $1,000 than that he (ope) should vote against the bill. . 8S. Huntington, cashier of the First Na- tional Bank, testified that between March 18 and April 21, 1870, they paid $3,508.75 to D. C. Forney, on drafts drawn by Gov. Bullock on the Georgia National Bank, payable to said For- ney, and indorsed by him. Mr. D. ©. Forney, publisher of the Daily Morn- ing Chronicle, testified that all the transactions with Mr. Bullock were purely of a business character, and exhibited his books showing the transactions between them; 44,440 were pail tor printing pamphlets, publishing sj es, and other matters, copies of papers, &e.; $4.22 of the above amount was paid to the publisher du- ring the present session of — and every mn. lobe; K. O. Polkinhorn, a prac- rinter of twenty years standing, and W. urtagh, the publisher of the National Re- publican, severally testified as to the very lib- eral prices paid ‘D. C. Forney, from which the committee draw the conclusion that one-third of the sum of $4,228, paid to Forney by Bul- lock, ostensibly for printing and copies of his paper, would have been a liberal compensa- ion. Governor Bullock, in his testimony, said he OU jm portant col me! of the Geoi mbers gia Legislature to make some formal expresmon ptr wishes with regard to the Bi amendment, and come to Washington for that pur} }, and he tel hed them ac- cordingly. Eleven came to 2 as the representatives of the whole of them; and two came who were not members ot the Legislatare. He lent them from $1,200 to 21,500 to pay their expenses, and only a small portion of the money was refunded. € amount of money made use of by him from the 5th of March to the 2ist of April was $14,500, and of this amount $4,008 was paid to Mr. Forney and #505 to the Globe. It from Sapatondl Bullock’s erty no agreement with ghe publisher of the Chronicle tor the work tousthe sent the matter to him for publication without fixing on the price. A man named George D. Chapman said he could influence the vote of Senator Pomeroy. The committee had not thought it advisable to delay their report by sending for Mr. Chapman, who, from the testimony before it, assumed he could control a Senator’s vote by corrupt means, but having called the attention of Senator Pomeroy to his conversation, as testitied to by Governor Bullock, Senator Pomeroy came bi- fore the comumttee and showed that Mr. Chap- man was unknown to him saye by introduction, and not exceeding ten minutes’ conversation, and not in any manner connected with any of the matters through which Mr. Chapman as- sumed he could control his vote, and that the pretext of Mr Chapman's being able to influ- ence him one way or the other was without a shadow of foundation. The committee feel constrained to say, from the evidence before them, that such means had been used and attempted. However unwilling somé of the witnessés implicated in the transac: tion had showa themselves to disclose the whole truth, enough Las come out to satisfy the oom mittee that B. J. Avery used improper means to influence Senators to vote it the Bing- ham amendment, and that Lewis Porter, an officer of the government, acted improperly in undertaking for pay to zid himin R. B.

Forn er of the Chr¢,icle, having the patronage of the governiwent, triple prices tor printing pam- puiets and inserting in his paper articles and speeches on the Georgia «uestion, and the said D. G, Forney, in publiiling said articles eet speeches, with editorials, concealing the fact that he was paid for the same double and triple prices, did use improper means to influence the votes of Senators on the Georgia question. There is no evidence that any Senator was influenced; but itis not unreasonable to sup- pose that a newspaper in the position of the Chronicle, pp ee ted some extent the conti- dence of the Administration and of the domi- nant party in Congress, would have an influ- ence with Senators, while assuming to act in- dependently and from a sense of duty, which it would not possess if it were known that the in- sertion of many such of ‘he articles published bearing on a pending question were paid for at extravagant prices by a person having an inter- est to produce a cular result. As there is no law for punishing such attempts, they must be lett (ana rhaps itis best thes should be left) to the Judgment of the enlightened and just public sentiment, which will not fail to visit with its condemnation any attempt of the use of improper means to influence the vote of a legislative body. lessrs.
