AN EMBEZZLER S£NTEXNCED.—Tnomas late internal revenue THE BLAINE BOND INQUIRY. THE SUPPRESSED TELEGRAM. Mr.Blaine mvestigates the Committee And Makes It Warm for Kuott. The Liveltest Investigation of the Session. The Sub-Judiciary Committee this morn- ing resumed their investigation of Mr. Biaine’s connection with the Little Rock and Fort Smith rallread bonds. laine, asked the telegram received from Josian P. dwell by Mr. J. Proctor Kaott be made a part of the record; but Messrs. Huutoa and Ashe, of the committee, said they had no knowledge of the telegram except what Mr, Knott had said upon the floor of the House. Ex-Senator E. PF. Rice, a former director of the Little Rock road, testified that some shares of stock were assigued to him, but he aid not know who assigned them. This was to enable him to become a director. He had no knowledge of any transaction in reference to the Pacific railroad receiving subsidies from the government. Nathaniel 8. Howe, of Mass., @ land com- missioner of the Littie Rock road, testified that he knew nothing of the disposition of the bonds of the road, or of any bonds that went to the U. P.R.R. He never heard of the matter until a few weeks ago. He knew that Caldwell sold ten bonds to & party in New York, ranging from 25 to 60 cents. Nothing of any iaportance was elicited from this witness. An informal discussion then took place be- tween members of the committes and Mr. Biaine in relation to the formation of the sub committee. Mr. Blaine claimed that it was proved by the minutes of the sub-committee that in the pag oy of veracity, which arose upoa the oor in regard to the matter, he, Blaiue, was right. The Tarbox resolution, passed in the House on the 2d of May, and the reenrds of the Judiciary Committee show that Han- tov, Ashe and Lawrence were appointed a sub-committee on the 3d of May. whieh he (Blaine) contended disproves the statement made by,Chairman Knott, in the House,that the committee was appoinced long before the Tarbox reselution passed; also,proves his assertion that the major. ty of the commiitee was purposely made up of southern rebels to “get even” with him for his course on the amnesty debate. J. A. Green was sworn:—He said he was peng Ala the St. Joseph and Missouri rail- read. The witness was askei wnat he kuew of the trarsactions of the Kansas Pacific ralroad, Mr. Blaine said he had no objection that the matter be inquired into, bat while hedid not object to its going ov, he wanted the coun- Lf to know that toe Luttrell resolution, which ig the ground for inquiry, conte.n- plated nosuck inquiry as was now being made. The resolution had been contorted ea the committee for a purpose which is plain on its face. Mr. Green said in 1364 the Union Pacific Railroad company, eastera division, issued upwards of $5,000,000 of construction bonds. They were given one Hallett to negotiate, who associated with him Thomas C. Durant and @ man named Perry, in Cincinnati. Da- rant was the financial agent. In October, 1864. Durant gave Stewart $200,000 of the bonds. Witness read at som> length the de- position of J. B. Stewart, incorporated in one cf the Credit Mobilier reports, showing where the bonds given him had gone. Tne deposition showed that none went to Mr. Blaine, but that £96,000 of the bonds were placed in his hands in trust for other ; arties, most of whom were strangers to him. Chairman Koott cailed attention to the point made by Mr Blaine that the sub-com. mittee was appointed on the 34 of May. Ho wanted to make an explanation. Hs said soon after the Luttrell resolution passed he bad tried to make up the sub-committee; be tad endeavored to have Messrs. Hard, Frye and McCreery serve onit. After their re fusals hehad requested Messrr.Hunton,Ashe ‘nd Lawrence to serve. They accepted, aid be (Knott) went nerth. He does not remem. ber whether he notified the clerk of the a; pointment of the sub-committee or not, or whether the clerk bad failed to make the eatry in the docket. Oa one occasion, after ihe passage of the Tarbox resolution, the sub Committee was alinded to. The clerk said, “What committee do yon mean?” Mr. Knott said, “Why, Messrs. Huoton, Ashe and Lawrence, the sub.committee o2 the Pacific raiiroads.” The clerk replied, ‘I uave no such entry of any commities on the docket.” Mr. Hunton said he could not remember she exact dates, but that Chairman Knot told the truth. Mr. Lawrence said the first thing that was lore by the committee was on the 3 of May, and before that time noevidence of any kind bad been taken. He did not think that before the Tarbox resolution was passed any allu- sion was made to Mr. Blaine. Mr. Frye said that Coairman Knott had inyited him to serve on the committee, and be declined to serve, and made the remark “that the democrats were doing a good deal of dirty work, and he, being in the minority, did no’ nope help them.” Mr. Hu said that he had been invited to serve on the committee, but had declined because he had been on one or two ‘nvesti- gating committees, and he didn’t care for a more such service, 'r. Blaine said that the Luttrell resolu- tion passed on the 3ist of January. It had not been touched until now. It is claimed 28 an important resolution now. Yet it laid ninety-two days, for not until the Tarbox resolution was passed was it considered. Hegaid: I don’t want to raise apy question of veracity, but on the record of the committee I state that it looks as if the Luttrell resolution was given to the sub-committee as a postscript to enlarge their powers. For that record shows the Pipe ples by bests oped — the of May, ninety-two days a’ passed. Mr. Blaine then said to Chairman Hun- ton, of the sub-committee, that he (Hunton) bad in the House of desired to kuow if Hunton would keep his promise. Mr. Hunton.—I will. KNOTT IN A DOUBLE KNOTT. Mr. Blaine to Mr. Kuott.—Do you propose to produce the telegram ’ es x. Knott.—l never had any other inten- jon. Mr. Biaine._Did you not deny to several newspaper jpondents that you had re. ceived such a telegram on Thursday, Friday en Saturday last? Mr. Knott made no categorical answer. ascertain was told he was in Italy. When he received the telegram he wa* sas. 10u8 of it, because it bad no street, nor le, nothing but “London,” but he had since been in itt_(excitedly.)—Do you mean to y tamate tat Twoula ad you ap in- Justice? Mr. Blaine (sitting in bis seat compos- edly.)—I think if ond been damaging you A. Yes, but I had heard that you had com- muonicated with Caldwell. Mr. Blaine (excitedly.)—Do you mean to fay that you have any evidence going to tbow that I communicated with Caidweil? Mr. Knott.—I didn’t say so. Mr. Blaine, (rising to his feet.)—Yes, but your insinuation meant that, if it meant anything. I have heard that you have been Tummaging the telegr+ ph offices tofendeavor to ad that I communicated with Cali. well. Mr. Krott.—It is a lle. Mr. Blaine.—I am glad to hear you say so. Now, I want w ask you if yo. have a scin- Ullaof evidence going to show that { com- municated with Caldwe! Mr. Knott.—I have not. > Mr. Lynde said that the day Mr. Knott re- ceived the Caldwell telegram, he showe it twohim. He remarked, “This is not evidence before a committee or @ court.” Mr. Lawrence.—You do not know what Ubis commitlee is admitting as evidence. Mr. Lynde said be advised Knott to frst authenticate the dispatch and endeavor to find if Caldwell was in London. Mr. Blaine._Yes, and if Mr. Knott had sent a dispatch to the London office he could bave authenticated it in twenty four hours. The very fact of sending to the London office an inquiry concerning a doubt of the gen- vineness of the message would have raised Suspicion, and all the enginery of the London police force would have been used to have aiscovered the deception, had it been one. Now, Judge Lawrence, of the commities, pe not seen the dispatch, nor has Judge she. Mr. Ashe—I never heard of the Caldwell telegram. I bave so stated twice. Mr. Biaine.—Yes, and you want it dis- tinetly Known. Judge Ashe.—Yes, and I will tell you why; because on the floor of the House you im- pugned the honor of this committee. I want it_ known that I kuew nothing of the dis- patch, and am not responsible for it in any 8 way. Judge Hunton.—Well, we will adjourn tne committee. Mr. Blaine —I am ready to goon. The committee then adjourned until to- morrow morning. District Bil the Senate.
