The Charge Against Spenker Kerr. TESTIMONY OF LAURENCE HARNEY. The Committee on Expenditures in the War department met this morning ateleven o’ciock. Laurence Harney, the important witness, was in attendance. The commit tee waited until twelve o’clock for Speaker Kerr, but he not putting in an appearance, an adjouroment was carried until one oc'cck. Harney looks to be about forty years of age, and has a bright, intelligent. looking face. He was very muc1 depressed for want of sleep, not having had any resi for two nights. ‘The committee met at one o'cloc’x, Speaker Kerr being in attendance. He was aceom- penied by Hon. Scott Lord, of the House Ju dictary Committee. Laurence Haney was sworn and testified as follows:— Resides iu New York ctty; No. 04 6th avenue; has resided there for éigat years; has no present employment’; resigned in November last the position of chief clerk of the stationery room in the appratser's of- fiee; in 1866 was employed as doorkeeper in ihe House of Representatives; kaew Angas- tes P. Green at that time; had known him for thirty yeers; helped bim to secure an Appointment in the army in the spring of Isct; Green wanted @ place and as a persenal friend I exerted myself toget him an ap. pointment, Q. What took pee with reference to se. curing that appointment? . I will telt everything that is not confi- dential. Idon’'t see, though, what this Con- gress bas to do witha confidential trans- action which occurred ten years ago: . What conversation had you with Green first, as to securing the appolatment? A. A good many things were said. I can’t well trace my memory back as to what took place. Mr. Green wanted a position, and he was nominated by a gentleman very kindly. Green waited on me and desired the place. I told him I would try and secure it for him. Q Was anything said about money being used? A. Whatever was said about money was confidential, and I hope the committee will excuse me from answering what is confiden- tial. The committee insisved upon an answer. Witnets.—I hope the committee will ex- cuse me from making answer to that ques tion. Mr. Clymer.—Do yon decline to answer? A. I don’t want to be censured, but I don’t think I ought to disclose what is confiden- tial. Idesire @ little longer time. I dido’t think the question was going to be asked me, and I desire @ little longer tlie to pre- pare myself. Mr. Kerr said that if the witness had auy- thing confidential to communicate he need not regard him (Kerr), but so far as he was concerned might disclose it. The witness.—Does Mr. Kerr desire me to te}l the trath? Mr. Kerr.—Certainly. The witness.—Then I will tell the truth. The Charges Against Jadge Wylie. TESTIMONY BEFORE THE INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE TO-DAY. The investigation of the charges made by Capt. Allen Grant against Judge Wylie, of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, was resumed by the select committee of the Honse this morning—considerable evidence being heard in regard to the charge relating to the Coltman estate. Tais charge ts in brief that Judge Wy lle deceived, by making use of bis official position, the ‘heirs of the Coltman estate, concerning their property, and succeeded in purchasing their property al @ price less than what it was worth. Tne testimony this morning, briefly stated, is as follow: Kubert Colfman testified that he w when Mr. Brent was arguing the case of the estate before Judge Wyile. Jast as Mr. Brent was beginpiug to speak, he remarked to Judge Wylie: “If you have made ap your mind without hearing any argument, [ may @s well stop.” Juage Wylie afterwards ad- tised witness to bring a Suit, saying that be Was sure be would gain it. "It was the case of Coltman vs. Moore. Judge Wylie advised witness to employ Messrs. Mattingly and Stanton as counsel; witness employed them, with the understanding that the court was to settle the amount of fees to be charged” SRIURGnE ch one ee ee ee In enswer to Judge Wyile, witness said:— | mvestment in the Northern Pacific enter T had 8 conversation with you in regard to | Pon?

SENATE.—The Senate met in secret ses sion to-day at 10 o'clock a. m.,and resamed the consideration of the Belknap impeach ment spatter. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.—On motion of Mr. Morrison, the House agreed to adjourn from to-day till Weduesday at 12 oclock. Under the callof states for bills and joint resointions, quite a number were referred to Appropriate committees. None were of geo- eral importance. Mr. Adams (N. Y.) offered a preamble and resolution reciting the general depression of all branches of rannfacturing interests in the country, and declaring that ail legisia- Uon calculated to unsettle values is unwise and injudicious, and that all tariff legis tion ts therefore at present inexpedient. ee see — Mr. Blaine’s Explanation. Mr. Biaine’s statement in regard to the inquiries concerning the letters in the New York Sun is as follows: Some six or seven years ago some friends present t hands “in trust,” as the receipt shows, to band over to the person proposing to sell, who in due time will doubtiess speak for himeelf. The certificate was to be taken in the bame of Elisha Atkins, one of the most prominent and honorable merchants in Bos- von. It was soon found, however, tuat the North Pacific interest was in some way pledged or hypothecated or embarrass as to the Ulle, and the matter ran along for over @ year, and finally came to notuing. The money in full with interest was re- turned to Mr. Warren Fisher, with whom the negotiation was had, and the holder of I spoke to Mr. Kerr about the matter.

This is simply the whole of place. I then told Mr KerrI had a friend, and if he would appoint him I would pay him. Kerr told me to come to his hause. I went, and he asked me what Green’s poli- tics were. 1 said a republican. Mr. Kerr the transaction, out of which a sensation is attempted by the Suu. My connection with it was purely of a friendly character. I had not the remotest interes in it In any shape or form, aud no intention or understanding that I should become interested in it. Tae trapsaction was, of course, regarded by me 4s in every way proper; otherwise, I should most certainly never have received and receipted for the money to hold tn trust until the transaction should be consummated be- tween the parties. “I am very glad,” con- tinued Mr. Blaine, “that my letter which the Sun publishes proves on its face that I Would not myself touch the investment. I could easily have purchased it bad I been willing, but I did not deem such investment advisable for me to make. From first to last, in all the legislation touching tne Pacific railroads, I never had an interest of a penny in one of them, nor in any of their tranenes, directly or indirectly.

W. Simmons, was informed yesterday that the governor nad commuted bis sentence to imprisonment for life, he buried his face in his handkerchief terest in the estate to Mr. Bryan. Had no conversation with Judge Wylie in relation to the matter. The deed was dated Novem- ber 17, 1473. Received $10,000 for her interest in the estate. Did not receive cash, but other security real estate. Consulted with several friends before she made a deed to Judge Wylie. Made the sale npon her own free will. Knew at the time that she abso. jutely owned one-fourth of the property. Did not Know at the time that there was a suit in regard toit. Relied upon oe enentnot ber mother in regard to the value of the property. Judge Wylie advised her to coa- sult with ber friends, and not tobe in any hurry about tbe sale. Consider the sale a perfectly square bargain, and has to be sat- isfied with it. The money due her is to be paid twenty years from the date of her father’s de: , December 15th, 1869. The money 1s to be paig in 1541. Witness receives the interest on the amount due her monthly, Charles Bradley, cashier of tne Natisual lank of the Republic, testified tbat he was ove of the trusiees of ihe estate. -A'l of his York, some good democrats in New York, to indorse him, so that if his friends in Indiana objected to bis going out of his district, he coula say be nominated him because he was well recommended. The next time I saw Mr. Kerr he said he thought the place was Worth about #500. I saw Green, aad he said tbat all the money hecould raise was £100, I said, “I will make up the deficiency.” Green gave me 3410, in fives, tens, twenties, I kept the money four or five days. One day Mr. Kerr met me and said: “Harney, I will take that money now.” 1 handed if to him in arolland he put it in his pocket. He said: “I will go up to the War department and fix the appointment.” About a week afieri paid Kerr the money Harney sent me @ registered letter contafning the $10 which I bad a: need for h'm to make up the @mount of $150. Green weat once with mre to Mr. Kerr's room, who live at that time on & street running einer witb Pean- sylvapia avenue; Ihave forgotten the name. In the appraiser's office in New York I made the statement that the democrats were cbarging corruption upon the republicans, and that they had better cover their own tracks. J. 8. Moore called on mein New York and showed me an anonymous letter, which he said he was investigating. I did hot Kbow who wrote it. I didn’t want tnis matter to get out, nor did I want to come before this committee. The reason I dit come 1s because the newspapers have been siandering me and saying that I proposed to run away. Harney was cross examined by Robert B. Eliott and testified: I never approached Mr. Kerr on apy other business except on the matter of Green’s appointment. When I frat spoke to Mr. Kerr I told him it was a matter of business. He did not say any- thing about money then, but told me tocome to his room. I cailed and we talked about the appointment. I told him Green had good recommendations. I applied to Mr. Kerr, because I understood that all the other vacancies bad been filled. The croes-eamination of the witness was in progress when our report closed. Bel mpeachment Case. "tf KNOW AND HOW HE TRIED TO FIND OUr.
