The Committee on Expenditures tn the Department of Just'ce resumed the examia- ailon of Mr. Davenport this morning, and in response to nestion he replied as he did the other day, that from April to Octo>er, 1872, he borrowed $5,000 to carry on his work, Witness was then asked by Mr. Caulfield, the chairman, whether he bad prepared a slatement showing the times aud amounts of payments.

Hesaid he saw the original letter of resignation of Gen Schenck as a director of the Emma mine; at jeast it 0 purported to be. There was no reference in it to the mine or the shares; it only said he resigned because he did not want to give bis political enemies an oppor- tunity to criticise bis condnet. Parke said to witness: ‘I don’t like this letter and Iam going to bavea better one from Schenck.” The impression of the witness was that Parke wrote the letter of resignation, and that Sechenek copied it from Parke’s manuscript. He saw the second letter two days afterward. He said he had told Parke and Schenck re. peatedly that this thing would end ina ui tional calamity. He read two articles from the mining journal, “butling tha Emma mine.” Parke said be hai paid (500 to have each printed. Hiran E. Johnson, Mr. Lyon’s attorney, then took the stand and madea statement on the main facts stated by syon. ————— The District Investigation. REPORT OF MR. CLUSS ON LIEU.

Miles, the burzlar emp he alleges, by Harrington and Babcock to do the safe burgla now in prison tn Vermont, In a@ letter to a person in this elty.says: ‘I first met Har- rington at his office some three d: vious to the burgiary. The man tha’ at the Metropolitan Hotel on the ev the burglary was Babcock. The coi in the closet, or rather the small room lead ing ontof the main hall Lo the right and back Harrington's rear ottica, was Joun O. ans. I stopped at Willard’s Hotel a por- tion of the lume—was also at Harrington’ house—left for New York on the moraing of whe burglary on the limited express. A.B Williams did not accompany me to tie depot. Harrington had seycral interviews wit) Benton witle he was tn jail, and he promised Benton $5,000 if he would stick to the origival programme, namely: to say Luat Mr. Columbus Alexander employe! him to commit the burglary. By the terms of my agreement with Harrington I was not to be arrested, Benton only was to be arrested. Clarvoe, chief of detectives at Washington, apd A. B. Willams were parties to this agree- ment. It was understood I should get out out of the building, after the papers weve ov- tained and the *‘job” completed, by the rear. When I undertook to leave the building ta this way I found aguard there. Harrington has since told me that this could not be helped, as Major Richards gave the order to cover the whole premises. I then went out of the front door in company with Bewtoa, and asit wasthen getting quite dark we crossed to the otber side of the street,soasto be in the light as much yep in order that Benton might be readily recognized We walked lo the corner. Benton turned to the right and went up the street, (5th,) keep= ing his bag weliin sight. I eer straight head down tae street, turning the right at the first corner, and walked away from those following me.’ In speaking of the job itself he says: “The matter is very simple. Babcock was the originator of the thing; he conceived it; it was gotten up to break the force of the investigation; the false measure- ment, &c., would tell the story and some- thing had to bedone. The detail of the job was Tere to Harrington, and after tne scheme 80 miserably failed he was the master spirit in the chicanery that was practiced to cover the thing and turn the odinm upon Mr. C>- lumbus Alexander.” This letter will sent .o the grand jury and to the House Commitiee on the Judiciary, who are now investtgat.ag the snbject.
