Murrell, (colored) anex-mew- ber of the Lovisiana Legislature from Madison parish, Louisiana. He said he had advised the colored people of his parish not to leave, but they seemed to fear that the democrats would gueuge the constitution and the state laws £9 that they would operate more oppressively on the colored people, and as one of their leaders, a colored men, remarked to the witness at the time, “They were preparing to tlee from the Wrath to come.” Witness sald that there were some democrats in the state—men who were whigs before the war—who, asa clacs, are ir- clined to treat the negroes well, and that the bull-cczers, as a clacs, are men who have no in- terest in the welfare of the people—men who, as the witness remarked, “Live on peanuts and Sweet potatoes and kill niggers.” A Hoperct, GREENBACKER.— Representative Ladd, of Maine, being asked by aStaR reporter if the fusionists entertained any hopes of car- rying that state next fall, replied: “Oh, yes. In my part of the state we are stronger than ever. ‘The fusion‘sts are ne harmoniously, and have carried everything in the local elections. We have carried’ Houlton, the home of Mr. Sh Tag ran against me for Col Old- town, the home of Smith, the fusionist candi- date for governor, we also carried. We have made gains everywhere, and feel certain of elec- Ung our state ticket next fall.” “Then you think the late contest for control of the state has not weakened your party?” said ‘THE STAR reporter, aioe “ Not at all,” in r. Ladd. “Our part; is to better shape than it ever was. We Tatend to have a committee made yp of democrats and freenbackers to select our state ticket and des- ignate what Congressional districts we will con- test and who shall be the candidates in them. In my state the oppoeiion to the republican arty 1S united, and we expect to roll up a ma- jority so large that there will not be any chance for a dispute.” Tue REeroRT OF 148 Minority of the House commiitee on ag-iculture in opposition to the bi! to make the Department of Agriculture an executive department and the Commissioner of Agriculture a member of the cabjuet contains some interesting features. It sets forth that more than 50 per cent of the whole people of the United States are employed in the various branches ot ‘uliure, and that thoseengaged in agricultural pursults'are, asa class, emlacnt. ly apd abunéantly self-sustaining, and it is claimed the bureau of agriculture, as at present organized, can be made to meetall the possible real and legitimate needs of the agriculturists ofthe country. The elevation of the bureau into a cabinet department will inure to the ber- fit hereafter, peyhaps, of professional politicians rather than to the interests of practical farmers. Iv is claimed, further, that there is no warrant in the constitution for the proposed legislation; that the government Is pot and was 20% iurenaca by its founders to be A paternal government, {thd Js uot a class government, and therefore no legislation shoula be favored that has for its object the extension of direct atd to one branch of ‘udustry where the burden falls alike upon all Classes, and when, as In this instance, such 07 vermental intervention seems uncalled for govermental 1 ibd Unnecessary. POLITICAL ASSESSMENTS ON OFFICE-HOLDERS.— Senator Wallace has submitted a special report from the select committee on the al'eged frands in the elections of 1978, in relation to po'tical as mn Federal office-holders. The report states that both the spirit and letter of the law have beea violated, and the plan mean- ing of the order upon the subject made by the President has rot been obey-d. The late Secre- tary of the Senate, Mr. Gorham, who was an panniers of, the United States, and not appoint- €d by the President, was at the same time sec- retary of the republican congressional commit- tee. While holding these two positions he sent out printed circulars to employcs, u necessity of making contributions to at publican cause, and indicating the amount ex- ed. By this means $106,000 was raised. Ad- an tu ments, but it ts followed by lars from the cireuli es tical organization tn sym} departments who have the 103e i THE DISTRICT INVESTIGATION, Interesting Testimony To-day. ‘The House committee on the District of Co lumbia to-day continued the investigation of te charges made by Treasurer Gilfillan against the District Commissioners. + WILLIAM DICKSON WAS RECALLED. and testified that he purchased the claim of one Mary Hessler from Wm. Troxall, upon a power of attorney duly attested by a notary named O'Neill, authorizing Troxall to act as attorney for her; the impression among the officers of the District is that the Mary Hessler claim was a forgery; the claim of Samuel L. Davis was pur- chased by witness from ‘Troxall, and the money was pald to ‘Troxall; the latter told witness that Davis had called at his (Dickson’s) office in his absence, and that he (Troxall) took the claim from Davis to turn over to witness; the only claim which witness absolutely knows was forged by Troxall was a claim of Wm. H. Godey. Godey came to the District office and charged Troxall with havit forged his name. Witness bought a drawback from Thomas Quinn upon the property of Dr Crouse, of Capitol Hill; in the matter of the forged powers of attorney in the Adams and Hessler claims, witness said ete peared to have been witnessed by clerks In his office; when the present. Investigation began witness went over his books to see what certificates he had bought from Troxall between Dec. 12, 1877, and Sept., 1 he in all; did not pursue his investigation beyond September 19th, 1979, because at that time Troxall was discharged. Witness said that he had Troxall arrested the other day because his trial on the charges for which he ts under indictment had been ed three times and postponed by some supesior av- thority; called upon the District attorney with Mr. Stabl, the principal witness in the case, to know why the case was postponed: he told wit- ness he thought best to postpone it. Witness pressed the inquiry and was told that the case was postponed owing to an order from a superior authority; did not ask what the authority was; witness had Troxall arrest- ed for passing upon him a_ certificate signed by W. H. Whitney which was a forgery; Was advisedthat it was a forgery bs ‘Treasurer Gilfillan, who demanded restitution from witness; the case witness brought, agalust ‘Troxall has been postponed, ewing to the ab- sence of Treasurer Gilfillan, who is’ a witness; the handwriting of Troxall is very inferior; he could not himself have committed the forgeries, but the impression is that he had several oon- federates. Witness said Troxall had made some statement with reference to his transactions, and the secret service force of the Treasury have made mention of it; had Troxall arrested because of the trifling of the legal authorities; witness understood that Troxall, in whatever statement he made, had endeavored to impli- cate one of the clerks in witness’ office. The amount of fraudulent claims which witness has paid Troxall will aggregate in the nelghborhood of 3800 or $900, Witness said that he knew that the services of the secret service force of the ‘Treasury had been prostituted by cither Treas- urer Gilfillan or the House District committee to manufacture a case against kim; had been told by a real estate agent aamed Gilbert that he was anxious to make a case against witness, and that he would succeed in making a first- class case of irregularity. Witness thinks there is an animus against him personally to maii- clously persecute him. WILLIAM TROXALI WAS SWORN, and testified that he was appointed messenger in George W. Beall’s office February 15th, 1sv7, and was discharged October 12th, 1879; a draw- back was issued In 1874 to Dr. Crouse; it was not called for; Thomas Quinn was told that if he could get Roome to reissue the certificate, that he could make something out of it; Reome did reissue the certificate, and wes paid one- third of the amount at the Baltimore and Poic mac depot, where he was waiting to recetve it: when the Godey certificate was found to be a forgery, Mr. Beall advised witness to take a leave of absence; the name of Godey was forged by Clark, a clerk In Dicksan’s office; after a con- ference between Beall and Dickson, Beall asked witness if he was going away; witness safd: “I have no money to go away with.” Aftera further conversation between Beall and Dickson. the latter gave witness $40 to go away with and $5.11 as commission on a drawback; the even- ing witness went away Clark, Dickson's clerk, helped witness to pack his trunk; he told wit- ness if he missed the boats to take the firs: train to Baltimore; Dickson told witness that 1f he would go to pene, be (Dickson) would get bim a situation on the cars; Dickson told witness’ mother the same story; witnéss Sald he went away entirely at the suggest!on of Mr. Dickson, because Dickson thought he would tell the Commissioners that his clerk, Clark. lad forged Godey’s name. Q. Do you know of any other forgeries com- iricted 10 Mr. Dickson's office? A. Yes, ne of Mary C. Adams. Hername was forged by Clark, Dickson’s clerk. I saw o'm do it, COL. CORKHILL AS A WITNESS. At this point the witness was directed to step aside, so that Col. Corkhill might testify. He said that he never had any conversation with any member of the District committce touching the postponement of Troxall’s trial; the trial Was postponed because it was represented that ‘Troxall had been the stape goat of other par- les, and witness concluded not to embarrass the pending investigation by the trial because Eanes Morgan, one of the Commissioners, had said the Commissioners were quite anxious to find out who was behind ‘Troxall; may have said to Dickson that he had postponed Troxall’s trjal out of respect to the District authorities, but not because of any superior authority, MR. TROXALL WAS RECALLED and testified that Clark fo the name of Samuel L. Davis; saw Clark forge the name o' Mary C. Adams, Samuel L. Davis, William Kus- sell and Wm, H. Godey; the name of Mary Hessler was forged by a Woman thatQuinn went with named Darey; witness received uo part of the money in the Esler case; in none of the iorged cases @'d he receive a cent; received only @ commission, and divided the Same with Mr. Roome, who has charge of the special assess- arent division; witness received 10 per cent. as commissions, and gave five per cent. to Mr. Roome; witness read a list of a number of draw- backs on which he had been allowed a commis- sion, and the amount he had divided with Mr. Roome: among them were the following, sho’ ing the amount Roome got: Mrs. Marr, $1.75; Wm. Bell, $5.50; Wm. Silver, $8.17, Mr. Harvey $5.15; S, A. Henderson, $11.50; —— “Thomas, Is ye, $9.63. Mr. Beall told witness that his salary was quite small, and it he could make favthing. todo it. Dr. Crouse told Quinn that if he could get Roome to reissue the 1s74 Certificate in 1877, that he would give Roome one-third; Roome did reissue the certificate, and Quinn went over to the Baltimore and Po- tomac depot to give Roome his one-third. lope KnOW anything about the case of A.—Yes, sir: me ifl couldn’ me to allow him for old inaterial. ‘our receipt is on tile. He said: “Well 1 will see Quinn about it.” Quinn saw Roome and Roome told Quinn to tell O’Brien to come and see him; O'Brien came, and the next day Roome ailowed O’Brien a draw- back of $95; ae Was given $20; Roome was given #lv and O’Brien kept the rest; O’Brien offered me $30 If I would get the claim through, bat I told him I couldn't, as the receipt was oa file that O’Brien had been id all he was entitled to for old material. ‘There was a claim put in by one O'Meara. In urylng to get Roome to look atter it witness in- curred his dispieasure. When witness was. golng home Beall came to him and sald, “You had better make fair weather with Roome or he will have you dismissed.” In September, 1579, in front of the Metropolitan Church, Roome told witness and Quinn “that now was our chance to make some money, and if we didn’t make it we were a lot of — d—d fools.” When the time for witnesses’ trial drew near according to assignment, Mr. Clark, Mr. Dickson’s clerk, said that “I needn’t be afraid of the trial, as he had five of the jury fixed.” Mr. Roome had deposits in the Citizens’ National Bank and the Second National Bank, the Bank of Washington and tbe German National Bank. . Were these deposits public money, or Roome’s private account? A. Roome’s private account. Q.

What Secretary Bartlett Says. A Rosy View of the prospects of “the Phoned Knight.” The Blaine headquarters, on F street, are in a commodious suite of rooms, A good force 0 clerks is at work, THE Star reporter dropped in this morning. The tables were covered with papers and documents. The walls are. undec- orated, except by a good likeness of the Maine stalwart and the following placard in small type: “I wish to speak for the millions of all political parttes, and in their name to declare that the republic must be strong enough, and shall be strong enough. to protect the weakest Of its citizens in all their rights, AMES G. BLAINE.” This is taken from the article, by Senator Blaine, “On the Suffrage of the Colored Citizen,” which eonee Ja the North American Review, Mr. J. W. Bartlett, the secretary of the club, Was at bis desk. "The reporter told bim he would like to know how the Blaine canvass was Felting along. “Very well, very well, indeed. e have nothing to complain of,” was the re- py. “We are perfectly sausfied with what we ave so far attained and have the best assur- ances for the future. ‘‘he next conventions that meet are In Connecticut next week and in Jowa on the 14th.” Siar:—“How will the delegates from those states stand?” “ We will get a good part of the Connecticut delegation, Iowa, as everybody most admits, will be solid for Blaine. The Grant mea are Claiming that they will break Blaine’s solidity in Iowa, but they will not.

Money and matter were sent to Texas to insure the instruction of the delega- Uon forGran We ihe, oe to have the delega- tion gouninstructed.

It won't be though. Blaine will get many more votes from the southern states than he is given credit for. ‘They have not been willing to concede as much in the south, but we will surprise them.” ,War:—“‘Are you going to make any gains in New England?” “Weare, In 1876 Blaine had only 30 out of So of the votes from the New England states. In 1s76 he had only two votes from Rhode Island, now he has eight; in 1si6 he had only two in Connecticut, this yeag he will have over half of the delegation. Against seven from New Hamp- Shire In 1sv6, he will have the whole delegation this year; and against one from Vermont in 1576, ke will have that state delegation solid after the complimentary vote for Senator Edmunds. He will also have about half of the Massachusetts delegation. He will double his vote of 30 in the “6 Convention. Maine is, of course, solid for Siar “In the northwest?” “Blaine is particularly strong in that section. He will have Iowa and Michigan solid.

We have advices from the very best sources that neither of those delegations will be whofly for Grant. In Pennsylvania tis 1s especially the case. ‘There is a revolution in A quiet way going on against the machine in that state. In New York the same feeling pre- vails. Grant will not have all the delegates from these great states, despite the action taken by the conventions, and we expect that Blaine will have a very good foothold ja both of those delegations when the voting time comes. In 1876 Blaine had not a vote from Ohio, Pennsyl- vanla, Indiana and Kentucky to start with. This year he will certainly have 30 In with Some from each of the other states men. Uoned.
