I dd not refer to myself. As your paper is daily read by so many of my dearest friends, the only favor i can re. ceive at your hands (s to ask an lusertioa of this note. You say that J. W. Knowlton told Mr. Gibson “that he had seen Mr. Stewart hand @ bundle of bonds to Mr. Blaine in the offi ze of Stewart & Riddle.” assure you this is utterly false. Knowl ton did no? say this to Gibson, nor has Gib- sou ever said he did. Noone but the Leader ever so said. Gibson overheard some partof @ private conversation between Knowlton and Boynton in the fall of 1372, from which he coined his falsehood ia the Sunof Febru- ary 1, 1873. This is the tale which Kaowlton contradicted. As he did not tell, so he never retracted it. As Gibson’s article referred to bim, he could but deny it, and did aid to pated it. This is the story he denied the aul ip of to Blaine, and no other. MacFariand did not introduce Knowlton to Blaine on that occasion, nor did he ac SS. Ihave already proved that Biaine bimeelf said it was another man, whose name I can give. Biaineand Know!- ton were then weil acquainted, and K. had been invited to his house long before.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. — The Speaker pro tem laid before the House a communication from Hon. George M. Adams, Clerk of the House, in which he jotcs an extract telegraphed from Wash- irgton to the Chicago In'er-Ocean stating that MR. ADAMS IS THE 3 ®XT MAN TO BE IN IGATED, and charging him with having sold his ‘age for sums ranging from $100 to Mr. Adame then says that_he regrets trude this matter upon the Honse, but ects bis honor a3 aman and his co’ dvet as au officer, and lest silence should be rs + he asks the House to Tr animmediate ! igation, and de- sires ali profess to have proof of the ebarcemay be summoned to appear in or. der that the truth or falsity of the charges may be escertained. He would add that a!l such charges are Infamous. sanders, there being not_@ shadow of foundation on whieb to found them. Mr. Brown (Ky.) offered a resolution recting the Cominitiee on Rales to Inve’ gate the matter. He said he had no dou the House would accede to the request for an investigation. This scandal had been spread a)l over the land, and It was due to the C erk that be investigated. He bad krown Mr. Adams for years, and he has always enjoyed the confitence of those wh krew him. He believed Mr. Adams to be gertleman of integrity and honor, and that belief was entertained by all his friends. Mr. Adams was for elght years a member on this floor, and enjoyed the confidence of all, and he would come out of this inquiry without a fLadow on bis name. Malignity has gone on its bunt along the gutters, hoping to kook up Some filth against thisman. Mr. Adams defies his accusers and demands the proof, so that the instigator of the slander may staod cor demned and despised before the country. Mr. Banks (Maas.) the matter would not be referred to the Committee on Rales The Speaser, as well as the Speaker pro fem were members of that committee, it war manifestly improper that they s! id inves- tigate an Officer of the House.

He wanted the subject thrown open to compst!- Uon, and he would therefore offer an amend- ment providing that the printing of the Record for the second session of the Forty- fourth Congress, as well as for future Con- gresses, shall be by contract and subject to competition. Mr. Baliou (R I.) charged that the investi- gation or Le ened printer had not been conducted with fairness. His enemies were permitted access to and he was not witnesses,a privilege that was accorded to the meanest criminal in the land. He be- lieved Mr. Clapp was an honest man, and so far as he had a seat on this floor he would on the rights of the humblest American citizen, Mr. Vance (Ohio) denied the statement that Mr. Clap of cross-examin: ann privil led th 2 that direction, and in it he for ters to show ity.
