THE EMIGRATION INVESTIGATION. HOW THG HEAD MONEY REDUCTION was EF- FECTED—AN INVOLVED QUESTION 70 THB “BALD EAGLE.” The Assembly Committee appointed to investk gate the affairs of the Emigration and Quarant | departments mot at Castle Garden yesterday morning and resumed the words of taking testl- mony im regard to the management of the affairs of the Commission of Emigration. Special atten- tion was paid to the subject cf head money. ‘The first witness caicd was MR. JOHN 8. WILLTAMS, ofthe firm of Williams & Guion. He said ho re- membered having been notified some tima in 1871 to attend @ conference with the Commis- sioners of Eniigration; he did noc at ihe time know what the conlerence was for, but subse- quently learned it was in reference to the reduc- tion of head moneys; as tar as his Knowledge ex- tends all the Commissioners were at the time in favor of @ reduction irom $2 60 :o $1 50 per capita on all immigrants, He was spoken to en the subject by Mr. Bernard Casserly, then the secretary o the Commission, and during the con- versation Mr. Casserly said be was in favor of the movement, a4 itt would ultimately prove of ad- vanrage to the State, Mr. Williams knew nothing of @ bargain baving been made between the Com- missioners and the steamship men by which the rates of passage were to be reduced when the head money was cur- tailed, Mr. Williams knew & man named | Nolan, who went to Albany to lobby the Reduc- tion bill through, The Dargain made with this man Was that he was to nave twenty-five cents @ head for each immigrant arriving io port from the passage of the bill up tothe istof July. He did not know that Nolan was in partnership with General Patrick H, Jones and General Hillyer. He did not know HOW MUCH NOLAN HAD RKCEIVEN, but ata rough guess he Would say about $295,000 or $40,000, At the conference ail the steamship lines Wore represented, and then it was decided that Nolan’a expenses should be paid, Le was Not postive, bui he thought thas tho stoamsnip interest had a man at Albany, He had never Known that Mr, Whitbeck was couusel for the | Steamship line. Here Speaker McGuire inquired of Mr. Willams whether it wus cus:omary for him to contribute for lobbying expenses. Mr. Williams answered that now and thea he pald a “slignt contribu. tion” to send a coumittiee to Albany, or some- thing of “that kind.” Mr, Williams was of opipion that immigrants would go to the port where the expenses were lowest Without any regard to the He knew that pas- gengers had been landed at other ports and tran- shipped to New York in order that the companies could escape toe head money. He knew that the head money in Boston was $1, and that the dollar was refunded tf the immigrant leit tno state within twenty-lour hours. He then told of am irresponsivie body, cailed the NORTH ATLANTIO STEAM CONFERENCE, of which ne Was a memver, This body ba regular oMices or regular time for meeting, fx-Lieutonant Governor Alvord said that for this reason it should be called the “’aroxysmal Norta A iautic Steam Conference.” MR. GUSTAVA SCR WAS, of Ocirions & Co, said hia company was not of the North Atlantic Steam Conference, The Eng- ub col ler the [ngiish inverests only interests decide in conference what they K the other companies to to the arrangement. Mr, Schwod Is of the opinion that the idea of reducing the head money emanated frou the Commissioners of Emigration, ¢ does u0% kuow Mr. Nolan, but has secon a maw Bt his oflice drawing a per capita stipend, and he believes ths man to be Nolan, The atrecment to pay Nolan was “cut and darted” beiore Ger- Man companies knew anything of it. Mr. Schwad promised the cowmitiee ail tao vouchers in lis ossessivn. ” THE “BALD EAGLA” UNDER FIRE. J. W.
