The Investigation of Judge Hum. phreys. THE TESTIMONY TO-DAY. The special House committee investigat- ing the charges against Judge D. C. Hum- pbreys, of the District bench, continued thelr examination of witnesses this morn- ing. Henry W. Garnett was the first witness, and «crroberated the testimony of members of the bar who have testified heretofore. Judge ahem is frequently hesitating and dis- ccnnected in his utterances, which some- times have no connection with the case on trial. He believed his conduct on the bench wes frequently tyrannical and insulting to members of the bar. Can't say tively Unat he has been intoxicated on the bench, bat saw him once when witness thought he was a little “How come you so.” Have seen him interrupt counsel rather abruptly. John FP. Hanna testified that at times he ing which they propose levote their at- tention to the different stations on the line of the Union Pacific railroad. THE SIOUX FEEL GREATLY ELATED over this, their greatest victory. numbers of braves who had deserted the standard of Sitting Bull have now rejoined his forces. A feeling of depression and gloom seems to have taken possession of the sol- diers in Crook’s command, who regard their fate as certain, and who do not expect to see their friends in the states again. This is the substance of the story as told by Mr. Fray at Sidney, being what he heard from the lips of Lame Deer himself; but nothing of an official character has yet been received at Fort Leaven worth relating to it. The rt Discredited. The Times on the same subject has the following: CHICAGO, July 28.—A special dispatch to- night brings the intelligence via Fort Leavenworth, that an Indian is reported to have arrived at Sidney Barracks woo states that he is direct from Gen. Crook’s command. He says that on Monday last the Sioux made an attack on General Crook and Killed nearly three hundred of his command, and routed him completely. Your correspondent has made diligent inquiry at General Steri- Gan’s headquarters, and General Drum, ihe Assistant Acjutant General, says that the report is preposterous. Had the Indians come ont from General Crook’s vicinity and struck for Sidney Barracks he would have been obliged to pass the Red Cloud or Spot- ted Tati agency, and there is direct te! graphic communication with those point-. jad there been any truth in the wild rainor it would have been received at headquarte.s, and not leaked out in @ round about by way of Fort Leavenworth.

Babcock bad been indicted, the relations of Gen. B tow and myself with the int were ;aesable, but as Foon as it was seen that Gen. Babcock was to be indicted the idea of @ military court of inquiry was brought to the front, tomy knowledge, by Gen. Bab cock and friends. The idea of a military court was broached before the indictment was found against Babcock, and the fact that the President of the United States took the ground that that military court should supercede the proceedings before the civ!) tribunals at St. Louis, was om myselt and by the Secretary to be a marked indica.
