The chair- man and Justice Lamar, who is still waiting patiently to be examined and discharged, were the first on hand. It was nearly half an hour after the time fixed for meeting before the committee as- sembied. Mr. Stabinecker and his attorney wereon hand shortly after 10. Mr. Stahinecker was sc- companied by his father, a tall, straight old gen- tleman with a long white beard, to whom the son bears @ striking resemblance. Mr. Coleman ‘was fifteen minutes late, Jude Kelley had not arrived when the committee was called to order, Afver waiting a few minutes for him, Mr. Coleman stated that he wasinformed that Senator Voorhees had not yet arrived.

Mr. Staal- necker Was tue only democrat on the committee re-elected to the Fiftieth Congress. It was usual in such a cage, unless there was some good reason to the contrary, for te member highest on the committee re-elected to be made chairman. as to his being on the special comuitiee, he was nov appointed Yo that; he went on that cummitiee by virtue of his being cuairman of the library com- mittee, not by appointment. In auswer to anotuer question he said that MR, RANDALL HAD UNGED THE APPOINTMENT of Mr. Stabinecker as chairman of the brary com- mittee, Beside this, in the apportionment among the members trom New York state, Mr. Stahl- Recker was selected for this place, Mr. Randall he said, had seen him frequently.

Mr. Stabinecker had nol, he thought, solicited his own appoint ment. ‘rhe appoibtment had been made in the ordinary way. Mr. Colman asked if there was any controversy over Mr. dahinecker’s appointment. SMITHMEYER IN 4 GOOD DEAL OF TROUBLE. There was no eontroversy, the witness replied, but there was delay and hesitation on his (wit- ness) part. Gen. Geo. B, Williams, of Indiana, as @ friend of Mr. Smithmeyer, hud come to witness ‘acd said that Mr. Smithmeyer was in ® good deal Of trouble.

Williams bad related to him what ‘Mr, Smithmeyer Lad suid about the alleged inter- ‘views witu Mir. Stabinecker. Witness said that he had told Mr, Randal! about what Mr. Smithmeyer a and that he had asked Mr. Ranuail to Dring Mr. Stabinecker to him. Mr. ‘Stablovcker came vo see the Speaker and told him not only Uhat he had no interest to the quarries but that his father had not and ever had had. Witness ‘Wassatisfed on the subject and made the ap- pointment. ‘THE SPEAKER CROSS-EXAMINED. Crogs-examination was begun by Mr. Wilson. ‘The witness said there was some discussion as to whether the committee should go into the ques- ton as to whether the Speaker had told Mr. Smith- meyer that Mr. Stabluecker’s father had interest 4m the marble quarry. ‘The committee decided that the witness should make a statement on the subject If he so desired, ‘Witness said that prior to the statement made by Gen. Williams, on the part of Mr. Smithmeyer, he did ‘not know that ‘there was any marble in Mr. Stauinecker's district, nor that he bad a father living. All his information on the subject came from Gen. Williams, wno quoted Mr. Smithmeyer as bis authority. Witness had not, he said, told ‘Mr. Smithmeyer that Mr. Stahlnecker's fatuer had ‘an interest in the marble. Witness described the interview between himself and Mr. Staulnecker on the subject.
