To the first Leap a he did send the despatch of the 8th of May m said question referred to, de- signing thereby to request the sald Shook to place tw his credit with Messrs, Gillis, Harney & Co. the sum of ten thousand dollars, to be used in such lawful manner as your peti- tioner might deem prooe dn obtaining a modification of that provision of the Revenue law whereby tlre amount paid the informer upon seizures is gradwa- ted up to $5,000, but is not aliowed to exceed tiat amount, — The ‘modification contemplated was an ainendment providing that in all cases and to the entire extent of the value a moiety should be paid to the informer and a moiety to the government, and the language in said in reference “despatch—“My busmess is accomplised’—referred ‘ to the pi of the business, and the fact that your petitioner had ascertained the sentiment of the committee, and that the committee was then ready to report the bill, though mot in the desired shape. For the — second uestion—That ‘he aid ‘send the despatch the 12th of May therein referred to the said Shook, and that it had reference te an undertaking of your petitioner to obiain a reduction of the tax on whis- key, in regard to which the said Shook was interest- ed, and which had been the subject of a general.con- versatioe between said Shook and your petitioner without having arrived at any understanding as to reovediny therein, But your titioner be- lieved that he would be willing to aid in prosecution of a@ measure largely to his interest, And as to the use of fictitious names and the absence of specific expression, in said telegram your petitioner says that such pre- cautions are absolutely necessary in communicating by telegraph, in order to avoid the disclosure of pri- vate affairs to those who are seeking their discovery. He believes that the matters above referred to were suficiently well understood between himseif and the suid Sheridan Shook to have enabled him to understand and intelligently apply each communication to its appropriate subject ; but. that said Shook did not, so far as your petitioner is informed, act upen said telegrams or either of them by making the deposit or furnisiing the money they called for. And your petitioner further avers and asservates that said telegrams had no reference to any other subject than as hereinbefore set forth, and no reference to the trial of the President on the articles of impeachment preferred by the House of Representatives inst him, nor any allusion thereto whatever. Your petitioner hay- ing thus purged the contempt charged against him by answering the questions referred to in the reso- luaion under which he is held in custody, might thereupon ask from the justice of the House to be discharged without bringing to the consideration of pi wr honorable body any other facts connected with is case ; but a sense of justice to himself demands that he should bring to your attention cir- cumstances of wrong and, as he respectfully submits, of oppression, which he is being made to suffer; and he respectfully submits that he has suffered great injustice from the report of the Managers submitted to the House on the 26th of May, Wherein he is charged with having accounted in four dierent ways for $20,000 drawn by him froin one of tue banks in this city. ‘The report sets forth that your petitioner account- ed for the disposition of id sum of money as fol- lows :— First, by saying that he expended it in his own pri- vate business. nd, that he had paid it out on his client's busi- ness. Third, that he had sent it to his client in Cincin- nati by a check on a bank there, forgetting that sending tis own check on a bank in Ohio would not get ten one thousand dollar bills out of his pocket in Washington. Fourth, that he had paid between $16,000 and $17,000 of the same to Sheridan Shook, which Sheri- dan Shook denies on oath, The report refers to the statement made to the Hon. B. F. Butler by your eel ne he believes, on Sew, the 19th of May, when he was first summoned —_ Managers. Your petitioner has, on several occasions, requested to be allowed to examine the statement referred to that he might correct the same if he found it to be erroneous, but such request has been refused by the Managers. He submits that the Managers have strangely misconstrued said statement as it was made by him, and he denies that he ever did represent or state that the entire of said sum was disposed of in each of the four several ways specified iu the said _ report. A portion of said money was expended on his (aired business, and a portion of it paid out on the business of his cli- 1 claimed that the opills in transmitted to Cincinnati by a check, dit represent that part of the money for which he drew upon New York had been furnished by one of tus clieu’s referred to belore the Commit- tee of Managers. Tie fact can be established by hin aod the refu'ation of the unjust and imjarious con- clusion drawn by the Manavers accomplished. He did state that he handed a large amount of the sad bils im his possession to sheridan Shook, and at the time he so stated he heiteved the same to be true. On the day after mak- Ing (he said sta‘ement—to wit, on Wednesday, the wh of May—your petitioner, some time in the mnorn- day, met tansom Van Volkenburgh, of w York, with whom he had been on ms in this city for some time, and he in- formed your petiiioner that in the convivial party on the preceding Sunday, at which time and occasion belle ed he had’ givea said sun of mon hook, that he (Van Volkenburgh) had taken eaud'tien ad 1 in his possession. Your ery much surprised and declined to pr Was ¥ money snd requested the said Van Volken- burgh to retain ft until his examination before the oumittee was over. Your petitioner felt deeply ag- greved at the course of the examimations that had een pursued by the Managers on the preceding ds and believing that he was not require ’ disclose anything in regard to hia private rs in no way connected — wit or ating to the subject Which the committee had in 1 »ived to claim protection against any fur- ter weneral or trreievant questions and to reftise all answer to such, aud felt that he had committed a vr in submitting to the exainination to ad aire vdy been subjected. Your petitioner dit not thereby intend any disrespect to this hon- orable body or to the Managers, but he believed that a crave priveipe of constitutional power and privi- i ged rgut Was involved, and that your honovabie boly would pass upon any question at issue between the said Mavagers and your petitioner, that the sub- ject might be c eary explained at the proper time, if toe House should not determine that it was @ legiti- mate matter for investigation. Ie deemed it expe- dient ghat there should be no change in the ition of things as they then siood and ore declined to take sad money, and re- quested that it might remain in — of the said tr Volkenbargh. You! \ioner flies herewith as part of this petion the davit of said Ransom Van Volkenburgh, Kobert -trong, Corneltus Wendell and Charlies i. shelley, one of the proprietors of tue Me ropolitan Hotel, of Washi on Vity, in which the circutnstances attending the disposal of said imone; liy set forth and explained, by your peuuouer are which said avidavits are marked exhibits and D, and prayed to be taken ag part of th tion. E tie Your pecitioner further says that he was ad- by his counsel that, in view of the posiuion in he was placed and the absence of any right hority in the Committee of Managers to inves- his private a:tuirs when he had ciearly and ex- testifiod that the subject about which was inquired of had no relation to the matter given by the reso ution of the House, in the charge ty (he comunittee it was proper that neither the foregoing ‘acts nor any further discio- sure of any kind whatever should be made at least until the House should approve some question wo Which such disciosure would be a necessary re- sponse. But your petitioner feels and he is now ad vised by his counsel that the course being pur+ sueq in regard to his case both im t de- bates in the tfouse and by tue Commitive of Managers in (he prosecution of their lavurs demands for his owa o, and to the end that iis care acter dod vepccation should be shieided nat abuse avd sspersiou, that he should submit this statement (o the House of Representatives and tie people ol the Ca vl States, While ue 1s incarceraved under an order of your honorabie upon the charge of contempt as Reg BE wi the proceedings belore the House and, as he is informe, the course of the examina- tion of witnesses before the Mauagers piace him in the attitude of @ crinual upon trial jor offences neither specified nor made known, but which are to be generally sought turoughout his We by investiga- tion into all his privave reaious aud private vusi- hess; witiesses are summoned to bring belure the Managers his bank avcouuts from Now York and Cincinnati, and his clients from Ohio have been re- quired to attend and produce his letiers and curre- « Vandence.

THE AFFIDAVITS. ‘The following afMdavits are attached to Mr. Wooley’s statement:— Ransom Van Volkenburgh, being duly sworn, iq acquainted with Charles W. Wooley, and has known him intimately for some time; that on Bimday, the seventeenth day of May, A, D. eighteen handred" and sifty-cight, he was in sald Wooles’s room at Williard’s Hotel, some ‘time in the afternoon of that day; that Robert Strong, Sheridan Shook and said Wooley, and probabl were in said oom at the saine time; that when this afliant. went into said room said Wooley was lying on the bed asleep, as this aiflant believes, in the room opening into sald room; that he, sald Wooley and sald Shook, as well as this afiant, had been drinking to some extent the night before and during that day,.and Wooley and Shook were very much under the inilu- encd of what they had taken; that the persons in the room engaged in active and ‘exciting conversation on political subjects, and large beta were offered on. the comlug Presidential election; that in the course of the con- veraation mse ‘came from’ the room in which he had bee lying down and joined the compny and took part in the co Versation, offering various extravagant bets, and saying he Wronld Wayer $20,000, | and | exhibiting (a, roll of bank notes, This ‘altiant waid to him, “Put up the money.” Wooley handed the money to Sheridan Shook, calling bis attention, and throwing it on the table by which he was sitting. Wooley then returned to the room from which he had come and lald down again, and this afliant observing that Shook did not notice what he had said to him, nor take charge of the money, and considering that neither of them was at that time in any condition to take care of so large a sum of money, he took it and put it in bis pocket for sate keeplag, no bet having been made. On. the same night he deposited the wuld sim, which amounted to $17,100, made np of seventeen $1,000 ndtes und some small money, with Mr. Charles shelly, one of the proprietors of the Metropoiltan Hotel, in the safe in his o ice in package, to- gether with sorne 812,000 or $15,000 of bonds and. private pa Pets Pelonsing to this aiiant, and. sald package remaine stil in safd safe in the game condition in which it was place there, as herelnbefore set forth. ‘This aillant further saya tha after taking said money, as above set forth, he left Willard's Hotel, leaving gatd Wooley asleep, and when he returned on the night of sald 17th sald Wooley’ had left for New York, to de absent, as this alflant was informed, fora few days; that he did not see said Wosley until the Wednesday following, to wit, the 20th of May, and believed he was in New York until "that morning,” when he learned that he had been examined before the Commitice of Managers, and that on said Wednesday morning he met said Wooley and in- formed him of what had transpired on the precoding Sunday ani offered to return him the money; that sald’ Wooley roomed surprised and decutred that he supposed he had given it to said Shook ; that fn reply to this ailiant’s proposal to hand it over to him he said he preferred not to take it; that the committee had badgered him about it, and under the cin tances, and in view of the charges they were makins nal him, he desired this aflant should Keep it until the matter was over. This atfiant further says that one or two days after the arrest of Mr. Wooley he informed Mr. Brent and Mr. Merrick, the counsel of Mr. Wooley, of the facts above set forth, and that he then “had “daid = money, and they’ also said to him that he should retain it uniil Wooley could give in his evidence and this aiiant be examined.

Noiary pubi WASHINGTON, June 8, 1868, ‘Tam termed that the Senate in secret session last Saturday declared the wlegal sale of the Cherokee neutral lands made in 1866 to be legal. and trans- ferred them to Mr. Joy for a railroad company, with- out obliging him to pay the actrued interest, some $40,000. By the terms of the sale the Cherokees, who paid $500,000 in gold for the land thirty-five years ag’o, now get four cents per acre, or $25,000 cash dowD . in greenbacks, and the balance, ninety-four cents per acre, some time hence, if ever. Now, while these lands are sold for a small fraction of their real valre, the settlers on them will be obliged to pay whatever avarice may demand, prebably not less than $10 per acre on an average, ‘or $8,000,000 for the whole; the differeuce, some ‘$7,000,000, be- tween the price paid by the settlers a’ad the price re- ceived by the Cherokees going into t’ne pockets of an aricious band of Jand sharks who stand between the sellers and purchasers, preying; upon both. I seprenend that the settlers will soon learn the facts of the case and that there will be a change in their Congressional delegation. next November. It may be found also that a repulican Senate is load- ing its ‘Presidential ticket more than it can bear. e in my last a letter from a settler protesting against the outrage perpetrated by the te last Saturday in legalizing the Cherokee land sale. The following protest Inst the Osage treaty was handed me'by Hon. Wiliiam Lawrence of Ohio, than- ‘whom no one has done more to prevent these secret sale land swindles. Similar letters are being received by members of both parties by every mail :— kK: J 1968, Smm—A treaty has bisse trend ftae tek pone Pindinne, “whereby they sell tothe Leavenworth, Lawrence and Galves ton Ratiroad Compan; re (a very feeble concern) all their inininhed reserve and trust lands, embracing eight, million for. able in t! two sem! instal- mente, Bie Woersot ithe ness ince re Kansas, while the remainder is inexhaustibly rich in mineral weal! ‘The intention of the company now is to rush this “treat (so called) through the Senate (in secret session, without the knowledge of any party Interested except the speculato hastily, upon the false assumption that unless the Ona, ‘ance removed bloody collisions with the whites wi The people, those who shall desire to obtain cheap homes for many years to come, can rely only upon you those of your associates who are opposed to the usurpations of monopo- A ppreciati revious efforts in this direction, I clating your previous efforis is direction, I now write you in behalf of ail poor men who ahail dese? cheap homes for many years to come, and in their name to request 7OU,t0 institute an inquiry into the means, whereby auch a reaty waa obtained, and why actual setilers cannot have ‘said land direct from the government, instead of thro hands of monopolists. I'am, sir, your obedient servant HENRY C. WHITNEY, To Hon, Wa. Lawrence, M. C., Washington. The practice of the government, since the treaty of William Penn, has been to acquire title to land of the Indians, such as it was, and afterwards to convey title to private individuals, The practice of per- mitting private individuals to acquire title to lands direct from roving Indians, for such prices as can be agreed upon between an ignorant savage and an a) cious Inaian trader, to be paid in gewgaws and vouchers, and without any other in- tervention of the law making power of the govern- ment than the Senate in secret session, is of very recent origin, Nevertheless, under the operations of it over 2,200,000 acres of land have already been sold, and a gran is being made at 8,000,000 acres More. Here is an outrage, or a series of outrages, upon white voters that cannot by any means be placed at the door of the White House. Congress must bear the whole responsibilty. Is it prepared 10 assume it? TELEGRAPHIC NEWS ITEMS, A despatch from Omaha states that the Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church and the ministers have returned from their excursion to the moun- tain.
