W. Peck, for Remington & Co., made a proposition $o him to examine all the books, papera and letters Telating to the transactions of- Remington & Sons, He was informed by Mr. Peck that Reming- ton had placed in his hands $10,000 for this purpose, but not to buy testimony, The gentleman ‘Who was present at the interview was A-G. Read, ‘The Marquis saw no reason why he should not make such an examination, He consulted Mr. Bel- Jonet, who decitned to give him tae power to attend to that business, When he learned that the chief pookkeeper of Remington, Joseph N. Norton, called upon the French Consul and said he was ready to furnisn information from bis vooks to show that France had suffered in the contracts for arms, and when he ASKED FOR A SUM OF MONEY for farnishing such information the witness. con- Jessed that he thought this was something strange. He obtained this intelligence from private letters and from oficial despatches vsed in vhe Place trial. M. Chambran then proceeded to detail his conversa- tion with Senator Sumner, and spoke of the circumstances under which he gave the Senator the leer from Remington to Lecesne. Four or five Gays after thighhe hanced to Sumner the copy of the telegram from Squire vw Remington, stating that he (Squire) had GREAT INFLUENCES AT WORK for him, and iwo or three days before Sumuer in- troduced his fesolution the Marquis nanded to him ‘te letter from the Secretary of War to the Secre- tary of State. He did not give these papers to Sumner for the purpose of asking an investigation, and in no way, directly or indirectly, had he askea for one, The witness SPOKE TO SENATOR SCHURZ on the subject ten or twelve days before theresclu- tion was introduced; nor did he ask or suggest even Temotely that there should be or that he desired an vestigation, When the telegram from Paris, dated February CME the witvess went to the Chargé d’Affaires, who expressed his surprise at 16, and said that if sucha resolution as that referre: to had been passea by the Committee on War Uun- tracts and had been sent to him to present to this government he should not do 80, but give his ernment tine to reconsider 1%.

Miss Clafin’s sex had @ very small representation, Wherever the eye rested on the crowd it was to behold a cluster of masculiaity; ere and there a group was broken up by tho face of woman; in a few of the boxes were several ladics, and conspicuously in the dress circle there was one lady, at ured im evening dress, accompanied by a gentioman, who looked iike an exotic flower in @ plantation of pines.

Mr. Bartlett, in response to inquiry, stated he pro- posed to show that Joanson was an agent of the Secors for the collection of the claim, which was paid by the Navy Department, and that. Jonnson employed and paid Wood money to go to New York, and with the Secors deviso means to prevent the disclosure of the true character of this claim, which Johnson admitted to Wood was Jraudaient, Mr. Sargent opposed tie introduction of MERE HEARSAY TESSIMONY as contrary to all raies of evidence, and unprece- denied and unjust. Mr. Archer suggested that the Investigating Com- mittee of the House had extended tne limits ol te: tumony very widely, but did not_ know whether evi- dence like this had ever been admitted in regard to the alleged statement of a man aow dead. Mr. Peters thought the offered testimony was plainly inadmissable. The object of the investiga- tion was to ascertain facts. Moreover, it tg tag that ifvonnson made the statement at all lt was after the ciaim had been paid, and it was a weil- known rale ot evidence that a declaration of that kind conld not be received as evidence if made alter the agent’s functions had ceased, Mr, Peters be- Heved algo that IF JOHNSON WERE LIVING he would repel such a statement as totally false, Mr, Blair suggested that proot was wanting of the fact that Johnson was really Secor’s attorney. or, Bartlett replied that he could adduve aocne mentary proof on that point by Monday evealng. THRER SCOUNDRELS, Mr. Sargent said the theory on which this evi- dence was offered was that the declaration of a scoundrel, employed by another scoundrel, since dead, to do & corrupt thing with a third scoundrel, was to be received as evidence of the guilt of a party having no connection with either.

Seventy-five works of this collection were sold on ‘Thursday night at what must be regarded as very Moderate prices. The attendance at Chnton Hall was large, but not quite so numerous as on former occa- sions, but, on the other hand, most of those present had come with the intention of doing business. At first the competition was lukewarm, but as the evening wore on and the better works came up more spirit was exhibited. The advancss made, however, wero small, and, though the pictures were for the most part closely contested, the buyers were not in a very generous mood, Unieas the patrons art are more liberal to-night and Saturday Snedecor will run the risk of losing considerably, This would be much to be regretted, as the collection which Mr, Snedecor brought together was a remarkably mert- torious one, embracing a very wide range of art. Ifthe public do net support an effort of this kind there is danger that the caterers may become dis- couraged from bripging good works Into the con try, and fall back into the old rut.

The collection which will be offered to the pupitc to-nigut is te Dest ever brougut together ia America, :” - =e The Coloman-Hall Collection at the ville Gallery. The two gentlemen whose works make up tho present exhibition of paintings at the Somerville Gallery are suficiently familiar to the public not to need any special introduction by the art critic. They are both American artists, who have travelled considerably Ia Southern Europe with some advantage. In view of the number and elaborateness of the pictures and studies which they brought trom their travels ta the Oid and New Worlds there can be no question that they devoted themselves in the proper spirit to their labor and with what result can be best understood by a visit tothe gallery. We miss in this collection the variety of subject which we are acoustomed to find in those brougit to the hammer by coilectors or dealers, but a3 these paintings are the work of two men tbis result fs unavoldabie, ‘There 1s, however, A PLEASANT DIVERSITY OF SUBJZCT within certain mits, One of the most attractive features 18 the presence of a number of water color drawings by Coleman; these display great delicacy Ot treatment, and no small power of composition. Indeed, we are rather of opinion that both artists are happlest in their smalicr works, Among the important canvases we were espe. cially attracted by Coleman's ‘Twilight on the Plains,” In which we have @ rich saaset effect in the sky, contrasting with the dark green of a sedgy bank in the foreground. ‘The artist bas so carefully modulated his liguts and shades that we perceive not where the transformation is eifected from the giorles of the sunset to tho gloom of a coming night, His ‘signal Fires of the Moors’ has mucn of the character of a battle piece; but we should say the figures are simply put in to break the lone and desolate look of the barren hills. Even the horrid figure of war seems @ relief irom THE AWFUL SOLITUDE that dwolls around those peaks. Oa the opposite wall hangs 4 most interesting picture, ‘The Aimeri- can Desert.” From the further bank of the river that fows slowly by in the foreground rises like a huge wall one ol those piles of rock which are known in this region as the “red buttes,” It pre- sents ail the appearance Of a ruin. This feellag is” rather encouraged than corrected by the pyramud- like mouniains seen in the distance, ‘The place has all the iook of a desert, apd it would require litte stretch of the imagination to look on the wild Indian horsemen who are entering the ford a3 party of Bedouin warriors. Io this, a3 iu other paintings tn the col- lection of this viass of scenes, the artist seems to have reproduced all the .ense of desolation which we experieice in Such scenes. A more pleasiug, but nies more interesting, subject 1s that 1a Mr, Coleman’s large canvas, “The Ships of the Western Plains,” This 18 rather @ poetic license, as the ships in question are wagons, drawn by oxen, the usual manoer of transporting freight in the Western regions. The sudject has been truthfully treated aud the paiting bears eviaences of careful work, = “Ships eae in New York’ possesses most local interest.
