CLYMER's COMMIT- TRE—SPEAKER KERR CHARGED WITH BRIBERY—GENEBAL DISBELIEF OF THE AC- CUSER'S STORY. The Clymer Committee held a secret session this afternoon, and examined A. P. Green on the subject of | the charges against Speaker Kerr. The witness swore that he told Haraey of his wish to get a commission in the regular army, and Harney said he could get it for him, but it would cost money. Harney then arranged an interview for him with Mr. Kerr, and when they met Harney said to Mr. Kerr, “This is the gentseman I was speaking to you about,” The witness got his com- mission through the influence of Mr. Kerr, and paid Harney $600 for his services. The man Harney had been subponaed, but was reported to be too unwell to leave his residence in New York. Copies of two letters on record in the War Department from Mr. Kerr, giving instractions asto the making ont and sending of the commission to Green, were put In evi- dence and the committee adjourned. Mr. Kerr takes the matter composedly, and even if annoyed would be comiorted by the general disbelief of the public, Of both parties im the charge said to have been mado by Harney, he says he never spoke to Harney or had anything to do with him with reference to the transaction. The interview with Green was a direct one and was not brought about by Harney’s in- tervention, He interested bimself in Greer pplica- tion because of letters trom friends in New York of both the apphcant and himself. He cannot recollect > distinctly all that passed between them on the subject of ‘the commission, but he remembers enough to say that he had nothing whatever to do with Harney, FILIBUSTERING OVER THE ARMY BILL, The House spent over two hours to-day in an effort to take upand pass the Army bill. General Banning ‘was anxious to have it disposed of this afternoon, bat objection was made by General Hurlbut, who wanted the measure considered by a tull House and ample opportunity allowed for & discussion, The democrats insisted on pressing the bill, and, as a result, the curios spectacle was presented of two Union generals locking horns in a desperate struggle for the mastory. General Hurlbut leading the republican minonty fili- bustered until the democrats got tired of the contest and sanctioned an adjournment, MYSTERIOUS ACTION OF LAND COMMISSIONER BURDSTT.

The letter is the last trace that exists of him. Some of his friends heré say that he was despondent and tow spirited before leaving Washington, and they are afraid ‘that in a fit of aberration he bas made away with bim- self, but others think that he has gono on a trip somo- ‘where for the recuperation of nis health, and that his letter to his family announcing his departure has mis- carried, GENERAL WASHINGTON DESPATCHES, Wasminatox, May 27, 1866, EXPLANATION BY EX-SPEAKER BLAINE OF THE AQUILA ADAMS CORRESPONDENCE—HE RE- GaRDS IT AS A PROOF OF HIS INTEGRITY— HIS STATEMENT AS TO THE AMOUNT OF HIS FORTUNE. Ex-Speaker Blaine, in reply to inquiries concerning the article in the New York Sun ot (o-day, said:— “Some six or seven years ago some iriends of mine In Boston desired to make a small investment in the North Pacific enterprise, and as the Vice President of the road, Hon R. OD. Rice, was a near neighbor of mine in Augusta, it was thought I might find out where and how the purchase could be made. In ono or two instances I heard of interests boing for sale, but nothing was done, Finally, in the autumn ot 1870, a definite interest was for sale, and it was brought to my attention with very glowing and extravagant accounts of its prospective Profits. As it was o road chartered by Congress, do- riving its franchise and grants directly from Congress, and lable at any time to apply to Congress tor future fae vors, I did not myself entertain for a moment the idea of becoming interested in 1, But as these triends had been wishing such an investment, and as thoy Lad the same right that any other private citi- zen bad to own in the enterprise, | communicated the facts to them precisely as thev had been given to me. A few days after I was notified that they would be glad check, for $25,000 was placea tn my hands ‘in trust,’ as the receipt shows, to hand over to the person proposing to sell, who, in due time, will doubtless speak for himself. The certificate was to be taken im the name of Elisha Atkins, one of the most prominent and honorable merchants in Boston, It was soon found, however, that tho North Pacific interest was in some way pledged or hypothecated or embarrassed as to title, and the matter ran along for over a year and finally came to nothing. The money in full, with interest, was re- turned to Mr. Warren Fisher, with whom the nego- tation was had, and the holder of the North Pacific interest retained it or possibly found another pur. chaser, of whom I know nothing. This is simply the transaction, out of which a £ jb it was purely of a friendly character. I had not remotost interest in it in any shape or form, and no intention or understanding that I should become interested in it The transaction was, of course. re- garded by mo as in every way proper, othorwise I should most certainly never have received and re- ceipted for the moncy to hold in trust until the trans. action should be consummated between the parties. “I am very glad,” continued Mr. slaine, “that my letter which the Sun published proves on its face that I would not myself touch the tuvestment. I could easily have purchased it had L been willing, but I did not deem such investment advisable for me to’ make. From first to last in all the legisiation touching Pacific railroads I never had an interest of a peony in one ot them, nor in any of their branches, directly or indi In a private letter, if anywhere, a man will speak unguardedly, and this letter, written with no ex. Pectation of its ever being published, proves conciu- | sively that when a Pacific Railroad interest was offered ‘me with brilliant promise of great profits | declared that ‘I could not touch it? I think the Sun, in pub- Hsbing this private letter, has supplted a valuable proof | Of my official integrity in the matter. “All these attacks,” resumed Mr. Blaine, aftera slight pause, “are intended to impress the people with the belief that I have large wealth, and that it has | Deen acquired since I entered Congres, The moderate property which | owa was almost wholly derived from | | a fortunate {Investment in coal lands in my native Mo- | nongahela Vatley, in Western Pennsylvania, made some years beiore I rat ran for Congress. | notice many papers, whose editors never saw me- and know nothing of my affairs, giivly put my property | ‘ down at @ round million.

The report was prepared by Messrs, Fer- nando Hill and Benjamin Hill, and is signed also by Representatives Burchard, Kelley and Chapin, the other members of the sub-committee of five which con- ducted the investigation. It exonerates the Treasury Department and the company in very emphatic terms from all charges of improper conduct, fraud or mis- mavagement, THIEVING AT THE NAVAL ACADEMY. BOBBING A BALTIMORE MERCHANT—NINE CADET MIDSHIPMEN EXPELLED--OTHER THEFTS TO BE INVESTIGATED—“‘THERE I8 SOME PRETTY TOUGH CATTLE AMONG THEM.” Axsapouis, May 27, 1876. On the evening of May 21 the usually quiet and un- sonsational town of Annapolis was thrown into a state of Intense excitement over a rumor that nine cadet midshipmen of the second and third classes had robbed a wo!l known merchant from Baltimore, andon being caught were compelled to resign. At first the ramor ‘was disbelieved, but it was finally proved trae, and the following are the factsof the case as related by the officers of the Naval Academy :— On the afternoon of Saturday, May 19, Mr. Simon Goldsmith, the proprietor of a large gentieman’s fur- nishing goods store in Baltimore, visited Annapolis for the purpose of selling goods to the frst class midship- men, who are about to go on their regular summer cruise, and before starting on such voyages it is cus- tomary for them to lay in a stock of wearing apparel, For several yoars Mr, Goldsmith has supplied this de- mand, and on the present visit ho carried a large valise fall of silk stockings, neckties, cuffs, collars, sleeve buttons, underwear and other potions, valued in all at about $100. These goods worc, however, mere!y taken as samples, After reaching the academy Mr, Goldsmith went to the room of the first class cadets Wiliam Braurersreuther, of Illinois, and Washington J. Chambers, of New York, where he (Goldsmith) dis- playea his samples, and then the trio ‘went out ior a walk, leaving the valise of goods in the room, but lock- fag the door. Ap hour orso later Goldsmith and bis friends returned to the room, and were astonished to find the lock broken and the door open. They ente:ed and saw the floor covered with the least valuable con- tents of the valise, while the silk stockings, neckties, shirt studs, slecvo buttons aud other costly sam- pe were miss! The case was at once reported to Commanding Admiral Rogers, ang Chambers and Braunersreather asked permission to search for the missing property, which was valued at from $50 to $60, Admiral Royers gave permission to search all the mem- bers of the first class and their rooms, This duty was performed by a file of meu; but, as no trace of the miss- ing goods could be found in toe rooms of the first class and got permission to search the apartments of all the sec- ond and third class myldh nd on the following Tues- day, after examining ‘some twenty or thirty rooms, | three pairs of cil stockings wero found concealed in one of the third class boy’s trunk and a pair of iancy coral sleeve butt discovered in the shirt cuffs of a second class cadet. The search was continued until all the stolen property was found, and the (ollowing nine midshipmen taken in charge as the guilty parties:— W. B. Osterhout, secona class, entered from Penn- sylyania June 12, 1872. Charles &. Williams, second class, entered from Prairie du Chieu, Wis., June 12, 1873 James D.

Rogers took any official steps ia the matter, the mem- bers of the first-class held a meeting, and through a committee appointed for that purpose requested the guilty boys to resign, The resignations were handed ip and accepted on Tuesday evening, and the following day they leit the Acudemy in disgrace, temporary stoppage at the Maryland Hotel, and in the evening of the same day left for their respective homes, There was some taik of instituting criminal proceca- ings against the ba ; but they departed before any- thing was done. they had not resigned, a court martial would pave been held aod bey would have been ignominiously expelled. As it is, however, their former clasemates think they Cr off exceedingly easy. The feeling among the midsbipmen of the tirst ciass is very strong against the expelied cadets, and on Tuesday night it was feared that violence would wed; but fortupately no trouble occurred Some be the “middies” predict the expelled boys will be re- ated before another year, as they all have influen- tial friends, and as proof that influence does a great deal for boys in the Academy a case is citea where almost two years ago une of the “middies’’ stolo a vi uavle gold watch irom a citizen of Annapolis.

General Crook, on Saturday last, sent north twelve men commanded by Sergeant Carr, of Company A, Seo- ond cavalry, to seok a trail to the forks of Powder River, southward of old Fort Reno, in order to find practicable fords, They were accompanied by Frank Gruard as guide. No sooner had they gone out of sight of Fort Fetterman than they saw frequent signs of Indians. The party wore dogged and whtched by them, and fired upon repeatedly, The hostile bands were so Rumerous around them as they advanced that they de- termined finally to turn back, and reached this post after an absenco of four days. THREE HUNDRED CROWS COMING, General Crook has secured the services of 300 Instead of 100 Crow Indians trom the Mission Agency, and they agreed to moct him on Powder River on May 30, Tho high water has prevented the possibility of the fuifil- ment of this agreement by the troops, and it 1s feared that the Crows will disperso when they do not dnd the army at the trysting place.

Dering the previous night Detectives Williamson and Rielly had beon scourtug the city for shopkeepers who bad been victimized by sneak thieves, and produced in court a member of the firm of Hubbell & Ward, of No. 1,150 Broadway, whose store had been robbed of $21, and Mr. John McCaffroy, of Fifty-fourth strect and Third avenue, whose shoe store had been robbed of $45, Both gentlemen fully identified Oppenheimer as one of the gang of four sneak thieves who robbed their establishments, Counsellor Mitchell demanded Oppen- heimer’s discharge on the ground that the complain- ants could not swear there was any collusion between Oppenheimer and the other men, whe entered the stores at the same timo as he did. Judgo Murray was compelied to discharge Oppenheimer by reason of a recent decision of the Court of Appeals governing such cuses, Ripley and Hart were also discharged and leit court, Hart will be kept under tho surveillance of the polico, as he 18 a most dangerovs criminal, who has just been released (rom the Hudson County (New Jer- sey) Penitentiary, Detective O'Connor placed his hand on Oppenbeimer’s shoulder and said, “YOU ARK MY PRISONER, ’? Oppenheimer grew pale and said, “What's this for ?”? He was replaced betind the ralling and Mr, Hartog made bis complaint, He testified that he knew the pris- oner and «also prisoner's father, Wolf Oppenheimer, who isa brokerin Wall streot: in March, 1873, the prisoner came to him at his office, at No. 11 Broad aps and that a® friend of his named Thomas had some Bultalo.and Erie bonds to seli; he took Thomas to thy ¢, the bonds wore accepted and the moncy was handed ‘thomas in presence of Louis Oppen- heimer and bis father; soon after young Oppenheimer again cailed on Mr, Hartog an id he bad some more Buflaio and Erie bonds for sale; he brought forty-two bonds to Mr. Hartog, who paid bim for them in the presence of Oppenhelmer, Sr. ; these bonds, eighty-two inall, which were first morigage Londs, of the denomina- $1,000 each, Mr. Hartog sold to W. A. Guest & 17 Nassau street, When the discovery of the irauds came, on September 1, 1873, the bonds were jound to be forged, and Oppenbeimer fled, He went to England with a woman named Fanny Dale, and spent nearly ail bis movey there. On his return he ausociated with Abe Coakley and Billy Derrigan, and ass ated in picking pockets on the street cars. Ho then gravitated into shoplifting, having for bis partner “Jew Dave,” now in Rochester Prison. Finding this business not profitable he joined tho gang of sneak thieves, composed of ‘Tim Lane, allas ‘Red Tim,” Bill; Mockton, ulias Montgomery, ‘Joe McCluskey, all Wilson, Robert Ripley and Joe Hart, ot whom Ripley and Hart wore arrested with him, No sooner had Mr. Hartog fimished his testimony yesterday than Coun- sellor Mitchell asked where the bonds were, and Mr, Hartog answered tnat they were in the hunds of a di- rector of the company. The counsellor at once bogan a violent diairibe against the conduct of tue prosecu- tion in not producing the bonds, which were the dest evidence in the case, and demanded Oppenbeimer’s discharge, Mr. O'Leary, on bebalf of the District Attorney, stated that Mr. Miller, the secretary of the company, who could awear that the signatures were forged, was ut his residence in Buffalo and would havo to ve telegraphed for, He asked for an adjournment unttl Weduesday next Counsell Mitouell vehe- mently upposed any remand in the case, claiming that his chent was unlawiully debarred of his liberty. Judge Murray said that, on nearing the eviaence of Mr. Hartog and the statements nade by Mr. O'Leary on dehalt of the District Attorney, he would remand Op- ponbeimer to Poiice Headquarters until Wednesday ext, at two o'clock P. M. WHO IS RALSTON ?—REMARKADLE STATEMENT OF “WALTER A. STUART,” THE ALLEGED YORGER— LOW ENDEAVORS ARE MADE TO IDENTIFY HIM, ‘Walter A.

My defence is a simple one. It is thataltbough Iam Wal- ter A. Stuart I am not Ralston. To establish this lonly ask {air play, which, up to the present, I have not re- ceived.
