The commit- tee say:—Tbat their examination being lnmited to the New York city Post Office and to the tumpering wita the letters therein, they proceeded at once to hear the charge or surmise upon which the investigation was Taised, The Hon. A. 8. Hewitt appe:red before the commit- fee and reiterated substantially what had been said by him in Congress, He had no knowledge of any tam- pering and bad made uo such charge. He believed, And there is no doubt with entire sincerity, that bis letters had been opened and such letters had passed through the New York Post Office aud from ten to twenty percent of the letters that came into his hands were forthe time under suspicion from their peculiar appeurance. His suspicion was aroused by an anonymous letter and he was induced thereby fo scrutinize his mail. He found one class of it which seemed to have an excess of mucilage Around the edges, aud the flap of the envelope was ‘wrinkled as if it had been exposed to steam or heat and Opened and reciosed. Ho showed these letters to others, | ‘who thought that they had been opeped, Mr. Hewitt in his evidence further stated that from time to time he as confirmed in the “impression” that there was Something wrong in ihe New York Post Office. He re- ferred the committee to several persons who had seen ‘bese suspirious letters, among others to Mr. King, Lolonel Pelton, Mr Dickinson, Mr. Cooper, Mr. Cole, General Richard Taylor, Mr. Parke Gouwio aud Mr, Hale, of Main ‘Yhe commitice undertook to find out the impres- sion of these gentiemen, but it was no stronger than that of Mr. Hewitt, to say the least. Mr. Howitt stuted to the coumittes that he had no proof of the opening bi tis letters, nor did he ever call the attention of Mr, James, tue postmaster, or any experts in the New York office tv his mail, He showed to the committee 1wo envewpes, the only ones he bad not destroyed, which he regarded as suspicious. Oue showed the eflect of having been wet aud soiled; the other was corrugated and puckered, und a line ‘tall around which indicated that the flap had not come down to the origi- nul place.” He had received many like these two, though he says that they were not tair samples of be must suspicious letters, and unfortunately he had de- stroyed them. The gravaman and gravity of this suspécion consists in throwing a cloudover the integrity of the New York office in Uns, that tor partisan ends the mail of the chairman of the Democratic National Commitico wus opened. ‘Alter hearing the statement of Mr. Gayler, Superin- tendeat of tuo. New York Post Office, Mr. Hewitt thought tat one clerk 1 the oilice, by giving hig ‘ute Leutiou in the direction of his ietlers, Would account for the tainperiug Io concluding his statement be guid that of fifteen or twenty letwers which came ito his hands a day in New York be saw three or tour that seemed to have Deen opened; and in this lhe was conlirmed by tho wrinkled character of the envelope.

Asto those gentiemen named to whom he showed the letter, the committee could not tind Mr. King. He was absent in the West, Mr. Coie, as Mr, Hewitt tn- furmed the committee, ad no impression, or bad forgotten it, if Le ever bad, and was not cailed, MR. MEWITT'S SECRETARY. Mr. Dickinson was a clerk to tue Democratic National Committee, aud opened Mr. Hewitt’s lewter &t the Liberty street office. He thought that in some aostances the letters hau been opened, because they looked as it the envelopes bad Deen unfustened and then stuck down again, He would not say how Many there were of these. They were so tew us bardly to be called a “proportion’’ of those received. Some were rumpled as if opeved ana Hot put back weil, leaving a margin. Some had been “gummed up again” apparently. Tho suspicious as to the letters received by the democratic committee did not point, in Mr. Dickinsou’s opinion, to New York city, but tothe piace of mailing, or in transit. One letter (rom Florida he mentioned especiauy us very Suspicious; but aside from the suspicions he enter- taied in common with Mr. Hewitt as to the tamper- ing, he had no knowledge tht in the New York office Or any office letiers were tampered with. WHAT COLONEL PELION KNEW. Colonel Pelton was connected with the democratic committee and had seen some letters—nota large num. —that had the appearance of bing opened. He gives the same reason tor lis impression as Mr. Dick- insou. These suspicions began in October und contin- ued up tothe 20th of November, The “mucilage below the flap”? was the suspicious circumstauce and the rough and crumpied appearance on the edge. Mr, Pel- ton especially rewembers the Florida letter, above re- Jerred to, as suspicious, He did not believe that there ‘Was any systematic plan of opening letters in the New York office. He believed that, it done, it was in the mall post offices, where the “rules are not so rigid ud where there Was less regard to popular rights.” EXAMINATION AT THE POST OFFICE. The committee proceeded to clear up avy doubts which these suspicions may have aroused by a per- oval examination of the Post Office and its mode of operating. After assembling at the Post Office a large number of letters taken promiscuously out of the boxes were sabmitted for our inspection, to show the committee What a large proportion of letvers were so carelessly seuled = as to present a crumplod or cor- ruguted appearance, such =as-— sed Mr Hewitt to suppose that his letters had been tampered with. In the course of the examination masses of letters, just gathered iu from the lamp post letter boxes by sqme bait dozen letter earners, were emptied on u table. These the committee critically examined, The examination showed that from oue- tuird to one-half of them presented the same rumpied appearance as those presented by Mr. Hewith The letter carriers were severally sworn and testi- fied as to the boxes from which the letters had been collected within the previous hour. They were taken from different parts of the city by the most Worthy and experienced letter carriers, This exum- ination also showed that many ‘letters were thrown futo the drop-box uusea‘ed. Suen letters, when dis- covered, were stamped as having been received un- Bealed. “The same stamp ix placed on letters when the | envelopes ure torn. italso appears that letters col | lected on a stormy or wet day are generaliy worse than those collectea in good weather.

IRON SHIP ADA IREDALE--HER CREW OF TWENTY-THREE MEN MAKE A VOYAGE OF TWENTY-FOUR HUNDRED MILES IN OPEN BOATS. Sax Francisco, Jan, 26, 1877. ‘The schooner John Byight arrived this evening from Tabiti, having on board Captain Stewart, of the British ship Ada Iredale, and three apprentice boys, William Lighttoot, William Denwood and Frederick Joy: The captain reports that the ship left Ardrossan, Scot- land, on June 20, with coal, for this port, Ou October 13, while in latitude 15 deg, south, longitude 10% deg, west, a fire was discovered in the Jower hold. Every effort was made to extinguish it, but it was soon evident that the whole body of coal was ignited. The crew dug down into the cargo until the gas and heat drove them from the hold. Wuter was pumped down, but to no effect. In thirty-six hours from the time the fire was discov- ered tho gaa generated by the burning coal exploded and blew up the deck. THX SUIP ABANDONED. Finding further attempts to save the ship useless, the boats, three in number, were lowered and the ship’s company, consisting of the captain, two mates, carpenter, cook, steward, flve boys and twelve able seamon—twenty-three persons in all—ontered them. ‘The captain took with him the ship’s papers, nautical instruments, charts and such an amount of bread and water as could be stowed, and shaped a course for the Galapagos Islands, about 1,200 miles distant, Soon after leaving the ship the captain’s bout capsized in a heavy sea and all the instruments were lost except a sextant, aud also the provisions on board, The boat was righted again and the men picked up. A LONG VOYAGE, In a few days, finding the winds and currents setting bim vack, the captain abandoned tne design of reach- ing the Galapagos and stcered for the Marquesas Islands, 2,400 miles distant. ONE MAN DROWNED. On November 3 one of the boats capsized, and the carpenter, William Danver, was drowned, ‘Tho rest of the crew were taken on board tho other buats. All the food and water on the capsized boat wero lost, aud from thut me until November 9, when they reached Island Domiuick, of the Marquet group, all hands Were restricted to three Wine glasses of wuter per day, and, throuzbout the whole timo in the bouts, to two biscuits per day. The weather was very rough por- tions of the time andthe men suffered severely. At night the boats were made fast to each other and kept together. AT SEA, SAFR\ARRIVAL AT MARQUESAS. The schooner Jotun Bright was found at Marquesas, and all hands took passage Jn ber jor Tahiti, arsving there December 12. Here the Captain paid off ibe offi- cers and crew in billson England apd disehargod them, except the upprenuce boys, two of whom deserted. The others, with the Captain, left Tahiti December 20, The mate, cook and steward and eight seamen shipped ut Tahiti on the New Bedtord whaler Coral, The rest sought other vessels, ‘The Ada iredale was an iron ship, and, owing to de- luy iu ber arrival, was dropped {rom the list of * pected to arrive”’ a few days ago.

PovouKssrsix, Jan, 27, 1877. Within tour days the ice yatchsmen of the Hudson bave evinced sucha spirit of enthusiasm as has not been witnessed before in years, and the first vent given to it was in the protty scrub raco uf the New Hamburgh Association yesterday, when Mr. Grinnell’s Fiying Cloud beat the Zephyr by only two seconds in a twelve mile race, That race was followed to-day by the first official regatta of the season, under the aus- pices of the Poughkeepsie Ice Yacht Association, of which Mr, Johu A, Roosevelt is Commodore. THE PRIZE was the club pennant and burgee, a set of colors that were presented to the association in the winter of 1872 | by Commodore Kidd, of the Brooklyn Yacht Club, They were patup that year fora club prize and won by Mr. Aaron Innis’ Haze over an eight mile course. The rule governing their retention is, that if the per- sou Winning them sbail hold them after three succes- sive contests he or bis boat shall thereafter hold them as sole owner, with no o.her boat or person having « right to challenge (or them. This prize, then, made to- day’s race an interesting one in more than one re- spect. THE ENTRIES. The ice yachts entered tor the contest were Mr. Aaron Innis’ Haze, ex-Commodore 0. H. Booth's Restless, Mr. Jobn A. Roosevelt's Icicle, Mr, Theodore V. Jobneton’s Ella, Mr. Jacob Buckhout’s Gracie and Mr. Aaron Innis’ Hail. ‘The Haze is an entirely uew boat, of splendid model, and was never ina race before. She was named after the old Haze, which won the colors in 1872, She isin every way—model, sail, rigging, &Sc.—a magnilicent crati Ex-Commodore Booth’s boat, the Restless, which was the victor in to-day’s contest, 1s an old-timer and bas fought many aburd contest. Within a week had been thoroughly tested as to ber lines ana ge condition, and ati ber rigging had been closely scrutin- ized, for she wns to have powerlul rivals. Mr. Johnston's Filla had also been overhauled, but yesterday she met with ao upfortunate accident in the carrying away of a portion of her jomer work ina collision, and she sailed in to-day’s race slightly crippled, which agp | account for her record. Mr, Roosevelt’s Icicle was a splendid picture as she lay upon tho ice off the Brewery dock previous to the start, and hundreds ot people flocked about her, The commoaore’s flag was flung to the breeze from ber masthead, and the red triangular flag of the cluv floated from tho peak. Mr, Buckhort’s Gracie, beautiful and trim, with wire rigging, blocks and rails and tiller handsomely nickel- plated, also drew crowds about her. dir. Innis’ Hail, an old-timer like the Restless, showed no fancy work, but everything about her had been cot down to racing trim. She is a boat for almost any weather, and the barder 1% biows the better her sailing master likes her. THE COURSE AND JUDGES. The course for to-day’s race was four miles south, turn flag off Roe’s Glenwood House ut Milton dock and retura, or eight miics in all. The judges or regatta comunittee were Messrs, Hudson Taylor, ory Frost und William ©, Arnold, ‘Tho judge at the Milton flag was Mr. Theodore Van Klecck, of the ice yacht Flying Dutchman. The timer was Nr. Peter Hulme, Sutling Masters were notified that yachts must turo the Milton flug trom east to west, and on the finish must cross the line west of the home flag. ; ‘ GRITING READY, It was apnounced that the yachts would be started atten A, M., and by that time nearly 1,000 persons had assembled upou the ice and adjacent piers to witness the novel scenes, Soveral ice yachts, of all sizes, not belonging to the association, were flying about io every direction, and there was a whistling wind flowing from W.S.W. At times itcume in heavy ‘chunks’? from the tmountains on the opposite shore, adown gorges and through ravines and, striking tull “wil? upon the mutnsails of the scudding crafts, would now and then [itt their windward ronners from the ice, the man on the runner plank holding to the wire shrouds for dear life as the craft swooped away like nghtning to leeward, the helmsman losing tor a moment all control of her. Sucb an exp.rience frightful to a lubber who never been put on windward runner plunk, and for @ moment he would give all he ever bad to be ashore, but after being ‘raised’? tive or six times he gets used to It, and then the sport is very enjoyable. For two hours there was the usual deiay in getting the yachts reaay, because of acciaents that had oc- curred during yesierday’s heavy wind, The starting flag was placed near the eastern shore, opposite Reynolds’ coal dock, and Dir, Philip Hamitton drew jor the positions, the Ella winning first choice, taking the space nearest to the flog; Hail, second; Resticss, third; lcicle, fourth; Gracie, fifth, and Haze, sixth. As the wind was nearly southwest it was evident that the Haze had the best place, because she could make the longest first stretch to the southeast, ever, 28 the yachts were to oe started fifteen seconds apart and the ume allowec them it did not make much differeuce, Hall-past eleven o'clock arrived, ana the yachts were all in line uwaiting the word, Horses and sleighs were upon the ice, and they lined the piers, the sleigns being filled with aristocratic mem- bers of society who had come out to see tho sport, Sloops that lay along the docks were also crowded with ladies and gentlemen, and the greatest interest was manifested, The Ella was sailed by Captain James Martin, the Hail by- Frank Smith, Restiess by ex-Commodore Booth, Icicle by Commodore Roosé- velt, Gracie by Jacob Buckhout, and the Haze by Dick Knight, All tne yachts bat’ the Haze carried a rapner plank man. At 11h. 52m, A. af. Judge Arnold notified Captain Martin, of the Ella, to look tor the word, and at 11h, 63m. he shouted “ao! Captain Martin shoved his helm aport and the little ed away to the southeast merrily, amid the eera of the spectators, und he got neurly a quarter of amile away betore the hail, which was the second boat, started, She, too, slid off to tbe southeast, hit- ing One foot a little as she flashea by the Kaal Rock, and then the third bout, the Restiess, was sent away in tho height of a heavy flaw. fairly bumming as she made her way almost straight down the river, for that particular flaw was direct from tho west. The Icicle, Graoie and Haze followed and then the flyers were ull off, making fast time on the first tack. Of the lower dock, Dick Kuight, of the Haze, didn’t seem to like the looks of a canal where ice men had beewut work, aud he let his boat up a hittle to clear it, when Mr. Roosevelt, being a littie more venturesome, sent the big Icicle across it like a streak of lightning, und thus sont bis yacht to the front of the Haze Soon alter, however, the Icicle came to grief, lor when tacking to make a stretch to the westward the wiod suduenly left her, and she stuck just long enoagh to allow the Haze to again go to the front. or Blue Point tae Hail, Gracie and Restless had «a hot race, and again and again when heavy fuws struck them, they were lifted bigh in at und the mea on the runner planks had as much as th could do to bold on, On nearing the Milton flag the Hail and Gracie drew away from the Restless, the Haze still leading the Icicle, and the Ella, the first to start, had dropped back to last position.
