TERRIBLE REVELATIONS OF A PINEKRTON DE- TECTIVE .WHO ATE /ND SLEPT WITH THE CUTTHROATS FOR MONTHS—REWARDS FOR ASSASSINATION, Porrsvitte, Pa., May 9, 1876, In the great Molly Maguiro trial today James McPharlan, the Pinkerton detective, was subjected for hours to a inost searching and rigorous cross-examina- tion without contradicting himself in even the most trifling detaile of dates or names, He has exbibiteda memory so clear and powerful as to astonish every- body and to stamp himself a remarkable man. The oracal he has been through has been tearful. Fer months he bas associated with tho banded cutthroats of the coal region—ate and slept with them and drank bad whiskey with them until he was brought to death’s very dvor. He has travelled in every part of the county, attended division and county meetings of the Mollies, taken part in them, been their trusted confi- dant, and even been looked up to by them on ac count of his superior education. To account for his tcisure time ho declared he drew a pension from the government and that be had money left him in Ireland.

GOMER JAMES’ TAKIXG OFF, Noibi w relative to the Yost marder—the case On trial--was elicited, bat an almost incredible proceed tng on the part of the Mollies was related.

A man named Butler objected, on the round thatone McClain was the real marderer of james and the one entitled tu the reward. The detec. Uve and Butler were appointed a committee to adjadi- cate on these rival claims, They met one Sunday in the bush near Shenandoah, and a cloud of witnesses proved that Huriey killed James. A report to this eflect was made out to the county delegate; but before the blood money could be paid over Doyle, Kelly and Kerrigan were arrested fur the murder of Jobin I’. Jouve, and all the funds of the Order were used to ico lawyers for their detevec, MORK MOLLE MELD. The eleven Mollies arrested on Saturday were given ernoon., The detective was the only witness who appeared agaist them They at arged with being conspirators to murder, with being principals and accessories before and after the fact of several of the recent murders, and with attempts to murder, The testimony was positive against them all, and they wore all remanded to prison, ‘Tho detective narrated a tori ron he was in relative to the murder of Sanger aud Wren, at Raven Kun, Ho was told several hours betoro the murders | that the men were to be killed, and tried in every way to telegraph the fact to his chief, bat was xo closely shadowed by some of the Order, who never left his side Ull the deed was done, that he could communicate with no ope.

St, Pavr, Minn., May 9, 1876. President Grant has partially abandoned bis origi- inal determination not to permit General Custer to ac- company bis command in their intended campaign against the Indians, Orders permitung General Custer to take the field were received in this city from Wash- ington yesterday, bat General Custer is not to be al- lowed to go in command of the column, but in a sub- Ordinate capacity, It is well known, however, that but for President Grant’s interference General Custer would have gone in command of the expedition. General Terry, with his staff, and Gencral Custer started for Fort Lincoln this morning by special train. OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. Hartford Datly Times :—The sudden and rade dis- Placement by the President of General Custer looks like ono of the most discreditable of President Grant's acts—and this is saying a great deal. It looks very much like a mere act of personal vengeance, General Custer, a military man of deserved repute as one of the two most brilliant cavalry raiders in the war, and, moreover, a political friend of the President, had testi- fied, and with seeming willingness, certain things be- | fore a Congressional investigating committee which placed the President, to say the least, in a very un- pleasant light. That was but ashort time ago. Now, tarting to Join his command on the expe- dition against the Indians, he is suddenly arrested in the midst of his journey and curtly told that it is the President's order that he shall not be permitted to take bis command, No reasons are given, These General Custer must learn, if he ever finds them out, through the military proceedings in such cases made and pro- vided. It is certainly a rude and ugly act on the part of the President, and thero will be fow or none, even among the President's tollowers, who will not place upon It the most obvious construction, But it is char- acteristic, New Haven Register:—General Custer can stand the f his brevet rank and the loss of lis command if Graptcan, Custer bas gone to meet Henderson, but Grant is going to moct Babeock. Fall River (Masa) Evening News:—President Grant is very sharply censured for placing Custer just where he belongs inthe army. But when an officer of General Terry’s standing and reputation comes forward an shows Custer’s stories to the House Committee to havo been misstatements or exaggerations, and other army officers confirm Terry’s statements, it would seem that the Presi‘ept might be about right. Custer played the peacock in 1866 and tickled Andrew Johnson into giv- ing nim acommuission as colonel and a nice place to enjoy himselt In, but besides creating a handsome laugh in y' circles nothing wonderful has been eard of him for ten years, It is believed by many that he is in the right place now. Milwaukee Commercial Times: — General Custer won't get scalped by anybody but the President this year, New Haven Journal-Courier:—The democrats havo been making desperate attempts to make out a case against the Prosident in regard to General Custer’s “martyrdom,” but their efforts have met with total and ludicrous failure, New York World:—The removal of General Custer from his command by the President is a scandalous performance. There 1s, untortunately, every reason to put the worst construction upon it, and it does not admit of a favorable construction, Vicksburg (Tenn.) Herald:—General Custer has been removed from command on the Piains, by orter of the President, because he told what he knew abont post- traders, when summoned before Clymer’s committes, This is a decidedly scandalous piece of busin nd furnishes more proof that the President haa been work- ing in the interest of the plunderers. ral Custer can afford to bide his time, The 4th of March is not so very far off. Woonsocket (R. I.) Patriot:—It would now appear that General Guster was on his way from Washington to his command in the Indian Territory, and the alleged reason for his detention was because the President thought Custer's testimony before the Belknap investi- ating committee threw odium on the admivistration, ‘e think this statement is wrong, for indiscreot as General Grant sometimes is he certainly would not take the responsibility to arrest a General of tho Army jor gtving testimony against an ex-Secretary of War who isa self-confessed swindler. Let us walt, and get the facts in this case of General Custer’s. Watterson’s Courier -Journal:—President Grant's last bit of spleen in summarily relieving General Custer of his command at Fort Lincoln has been very much ap- plauded by the republican papers, on the ground that Custer appeared as a voluntary witness betore Cly- ‘ommiteo for the purpose of blackening the char- of Belknap. This position is proven to bo false e following letter iu Mr. Clymer's hands:— , Dawota, March 16, 1876.—Hon.

The press despatches from Washington on Saturday undertook to explain that General Custer was not re- Neved of his command because ho was a witness in the Belknap impeachment trial and had told some hard ng Bios the exSecretary, but the Wasb- ington Republican, a White House organ, evidently takes another view of the case when It says:— Lieutenant Colonel Custer has been ordered to duty ont- side of the De 3 and ex-Confederate commit rooms, notwithstanding objections or criticisms of the oppu- tion. St. Lotis Times:—We never supposed that anybody would be mean enough to abuse Clara Morris, but the lady with whom she 13 going to spend the summer on the, plains has Cust Doylestown (Pa.) Démocrat:—The meanest act of President Grant is the removal of General Custer trom his command because he went to Washington in obc- dionce to a subpoena and testified betore the Committce on Expenditures in the War Department. His teati- mony was strongly against Grant’s iriends, the post traders, and their swindling go-betweens. This dis- | pleased the President and he takes his revenge on Gen- { eral Custer. General Sherman and the Secretary of | War both protested against the act, but the President | paid no attention to them.
