TBE SALES oF ARMS INVESTIGATIONS.— Secretary Belknap was before the Senate com mitte, this morning, appointed to investigate as tothe alleged sale of arms to the French gov- ernment. ‘Mr. Schurz was invited to attend the sessions of the committee, and to question witnesses or have any summoned whom he might desire. Secretary Belknap was examined by the comn.'ttc» at some length. and during his evidence, in reply to questions of Mr. Schurz stated that the order for the sale of 17.000 ritlos and a number of cartridges to Remington was given on the 12th or 13th of October, and on the 13th he received the telegram conveying tha in- formation that Remington was the agent of the French government.

He also showed to the satisfaction of the committee that there was no know!-dge at the department of these arms being 0! to any agent of the French government, and said ne had no reason to believe that any officer of the government was in any way, either directly or Indirectly, interested in such sales. a A Maw ATTACKED By A SEa Lion. cinnati, on thezsth ult., among addition’s to Robinson's menagerie was an enormons sea lion, direct from the coast os Labrador. An immense tank bad been prepared for the reception of this monster of the sea, anda score or more em- ploves were engaged shipping him from the circumscribed shipping box in which he was re~ ecived tothe more congenial and commolious «narters which were assigned him. With th view, the box containing the sca lion was el vated on a line with the top of Ugg tank. It was then necessary to cut away one ®nd of the box to permit the exit of the animal. Mr. William Whittaker, one of the cage men, was at work with a hatchet, cutting away the box, and had nearly finished his labor. but finding ‘the aper- ture insufficient, proceeded to widen it. But = he struck again with his hatchet the sea lion suddenly seizen him, and forcing his huge tushes through the man’s hand, crushed it toa degree that amputation was necessary.

THE DISTRICT GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATION Exeresteee se the emee Com- The Congressional Investigation into the charges against the Board of Public Works and the new District Government was resumed this morning before the House Committee on the District of Columbia. Mr. Phillips said it was proposed at the last meeting that the counsel for the memorialists should name some time when they would close their side ot the investigation. He hoped that time would be named now. Mr. Eldridge, acting chairman, said it would be decided atter all the committee should be in. XN. H. Miller, sworn:—Is the publisher of the daily Washingten Anzeiger; had advertised for the District government; became connected with the paper in October; previous to that time about $160 worth ot advertisin, been done tor the Board of Public Works; since wit- ‘ss became connected with the paper had ad- vertised and rendered an account therefor amounting to $9,500, Mr. Stanton said the charges were too high, and deducted therefrom £3,000; received $6,500 for that account, which was for the election advertisement, the $4,000,000 joan act, payment cf interest on the bonds, Piedmont raiiroad company, a proclamation of the Governor giving notice of a general elec- tion, &c.; had received, in all, trom the District overbment for advertising, 7,789.5); had pub- fi he Jaws in German, and had an ace ots for that, which account is not yet paid: had a few other small bills; the total amount of WAS $9,047.00. his claim for beta | * here are Germans, and one-third of the taxes are paid by them; many Germans haa no means of knowing what was going on in pub- lic affairs except through the German paper: the advertisements were charged at the rate of $1 a square, the usual rates; received no pay for translations; thought he was ertitled to more then the English papers. Mr. Cocmb-.--Whiat is the circulation of your er? Mi Miller—I do not think that isa proper subject to be inquired into here. Mr. Coombs.—Do you print tive hundred papers a da: Mr. Miller.—I don’t think that question is proper. Mr. Coombs.—I do not insist upon an answer. Mr. Crebssaid the same question had been put to other witnesses, and they had not been re- quired to answer; he did not think it proper therefore to compel Mr. Milier to answer. Mr. Miller.—That isthe only reason I decline to answer; because other publishers have not been compelled to answer. Mr. Crane.—Are you the editor of the paper? M. Miller.—I am the responsible editor. Mr. Crane. Have you any uther ofice? Mr. Miller.—I am assistant District Attorney istrict of Columbia. —By whom were you appointed? y Governor Cooke; the advertise- were sent to the paper; applicd to the nor for them. y Mr. Phillips.—Capt. Albert Grant ap proached the partner of witness and offered to buy out the paper to run in the interest of the opposition, but no arrangement to that effect was made. Capt. A Grant.—I should like to be upon the stand on that point. Mr. Eldridge submitted a sworn statement the Patrict office showing that the amount ec by that paper for advertising was -88 of which amount $6,547.13 had been |, and $2 was unpaid. Copt. W. W. Moore, sworn.—Has resided bere forty-three years; was a member of the city councils for many years; is a member of the present house of delegates; has reviewed the papers submitted to the committee by the Dis- triet government, and compared them with the expenses of the old government; had prepared @ statcment showing the result of such compar- ison; had been requested to do so by Mr. Green: that statement be asked permission to read. ‘Mr. Philtips said this was a matter of ARGUMENT AND NOT TESTIMONY. It was simply a comparison of one part of the testimony with another, which could be doue by counsel. Mr. Green said they proposed to contradict the statement of the Governor as to the amou ot pacronage given to the newspapers, by Capt Moore, who was on one of the committ legislature to examine inte that subject. Gen. Chipman said be thought’ Mr. Moorc might submit any tacts he had, but it wou! proper for submit an analysis derived m his comparis If this is in the nature of an essay such as we heard from Mr. Severson in regard to the canal, I object to it. I want Mr Moore to give ail the facts he has, but the com- mittee will remember that at Icast three-fourths ot Severson’s statement was not one oj tacts, but contained bis general views, and, a stich, were matters of argament for counsel. Mr. Eldridge.—Which one of the Governor's statements do you propose to contradict? Mr. Moore.—The one on printing. In the Governor's statement he has omitted $6,403.3: paid the National Republicon for advertising the ben and Piedmont railroad acts, and $1 paid to the Grand Army Journal. Gen. Chipmwan.—Representatives trom each paper have been here. Now, Mr. Coombs, «i you dispute the accuracy of those bills?” It seems to me those bills will show any difference- as to amount between them and the Goveruor’s statement better than this testimony. Mr. Harmer to Mr. Moore.—I think the same diserepancy which you wish to show has already been explained. Mr. Crebs said he considered the committee as a court, and net 0 jury; theretore, if any irrele- vant testimony should come in it need not be considered. He was, therefore, willing to hear the statement. Mr. Starkweather thought it improper to in- cumber the record with all kinds of irrelevant testimony. Mr. Eldridge.—I would like to know from you, Mr. Green, if you propose to change the facts as stated hy the printers themselyes ? A.—No. sir. Mr. ogi hte tare there is no use in oifer- ing this testimony, as we alreaily bave these bills before us. The witness then stated that be had examined the account returned to the committee by W. S. Huntington, cashier of the First Nationsi Bank, and that it was not correct, and pro- ceeded to read from a statement which he had prepared. : Mr. Starkweather.—Now, Mr. Moore, it wil! uct do for you to ATTEMPT TO CONTRADICT W. 8. HUNTINGTON by this comparison which you have drawn. [i you have any facts to show that his statement is incorrect, those we want to hear. Mr. Eldridge.—Do you know that tbe collec- tions every day were deposited there? A.—It is the designated depository. Mr. Eldridge—But you do not know what amount was paid out daily, for expenses? Mr. Moore said he referred particularly to the ten year sinking fund, out of wiiieh nothing could be paid except for interest, which amount- ed to $13,500 semi-annually. Mr. Phillips said he desired to inform the committee that interest was paid at the National Metropolitan bank, and not at the First tional bank. Mr. Moore said that was the interest provided commissioners, The for by the sinking fund ad been assessed and taxed for the pay- ieecror aun ten bonds, ment of at and it of the fund. dee was not to the cr Mr. Chipman —These are conclusions which tytn aca ad assuming certain premises tu Mr. Moore.—Yes; but 1 know the assessments "Sir *Phitlips—We will explain all these di: Ir. is crepancies, hen it Nogverh ourtime.

Mr. Starkweather.—Do you mean to say that you cannot see the laws on file with the Secre- tary? Mr. Moore —t tried once. I went to the See- retary’s office to see the bills for advertising The Secretary was not there, but a clerk was, who would not let me see the bills. Mr. Starkweather.—\ Mr. have any fact to show that the Secretary refases to show the laws, I would like to hear it, as in that case I am in favor of immediately remedy. ing the fault. Any respectable man has aright to see the laws. Mr. Moore —Well. I cannot say they will not stow the laws, but they ought to be published. Witness proposed to have the laws published in the Patriot, as well as in the republican papers but the legislature would not do so; ander the old corporation the laws were published weekly but they were not published in pamphlet form within Six months after the adjournment of the counci!s; has ne reason to suppose that thestate- ments of the newspaper publishers before the committee were incorrect; in making his esti mutes witness took the amount of pills after be- ing cut down; bad not made his calcalations upon bills as proven before the committee, the salaries for the employes of the Board of Public Works witness estimated at $07,000 more than had been returned by the committee; esti mated the expenses of the District government at $166,706 more than the amount shown by the District authorities; in the expenses of the old corporation, returned as $438,432, the salary of the collector is put down as $33,000; maintained that at least $15,00 should be Gucted frem that amount, as the commission: which the old collector received for advertising property, &ec., were not paid out ef the treasury of the city, but were paid for by the property advertised.
