WasHiNGToN, January 3.—The committee investigating the expendi- ture of the treasury contingent fund reassembled to-day and examined L. W. Vail, who conducted the Wash- ington World, a Sherman campaign organ, prior to the Chicago conven- tion. It is charged that the type for that establishment was obtained with- out payment therefor from the gover- ment printing oftice, and sinecure and government appointments given to employes on the paper. Mr Vail holds a position as special agent of the treasury department, one son a clerkship snd another, a mere iad, a messengership. Mr. Paul Jones, who was foreman of the treasury cabinet, was the next witness, and submitted a memoranda of work done at different times during the year 1881 upon Secretary Sher- man's house, stable, etc., and charged to the different bureaus and divisions of the department. The data is very explicit, giving the date of all the work done, the time occupied, mate- rial used, and the branch of the treasury department to which it was charged with the amount charged.

He is preparing for active participation in the star route cases, and says they must be vigorously pushed WHITTAKER'S COURT MARTIAL ILLEGAL, Tt is rumored Gen ain, advocate general, has decided in Whittaker's case the court martial was illegal be cause of tho fact that the president had no authority to call one, except by the request of the department com- mander, and a8 no such request had been made the whole work of the court martial is thrown aside. This report comes from high g1 and, though by 1o means official, is believed to he founded on fact, Gieneral Swaim's decigion is the ERAL BREWSTER subject of considerable comment this evening in army circles, His hold- ing that the president has no au- thority to organize a court martial withont request of the department commander within whose jurisdiction occurs, is questioned by many. That such is the prerogative of the pr dent of the United States as com- mander-in-chief of the army and navy has not been (uestioned 1 the past. In the navy, however, this uestion was considered so doubtful that a special act grantin individual discretion to the president to order court martial was passed a few years ago. The opinion.of (ieneral Swaim that the president has no such dis- cretion in the army, under the present laws is epposed to former decisions on the subject made by his predecessors, who held that he had The Whittaker court martial was not called for by the general who at that time commanded the department of West Point, but was the result of a request of the defense, when the findings of the court of inquiry, which was held at West Point were made known., The question of illegahty of the court martial will have to be decided by Attorney General Brews- ster before any further steps in the | Whittaker casc are taken That question will be referred Mr, Brewster in a few days to CABINET MELTING, Tllere: was two hours' cabiet vieting to-day.

The house committee on the Utah contest will make it one of their first considerations. It will be taken up next Monday. One of the special prosecutors for the covernment in Lhe star route cases stated to-day that they would commence their work before the grand jury in about two weeks. Ho said they have their evidence in satis- factory shape and feel contident of its sufliciency to secure indictments, While not yet decided which case they will t with, still it is their im- pression now that they will lead off with Senator Dorsey and his connec tion with the star route service.

Thoe Times to-day contains an important contri- bution to the Grant-Fitz.John Porter matter, The statement having beon made public that Gen. Grant had recontly concluded that Gen. Porter waas a greatly injured man, and that his conviction and dismissal from the army was an aot of flagrant injustice, and, furthormore, that he (Grant) had addressed or intonded to addross an carnest ap- peal to Prosidont Arthur in Gon, Por- ter's behalf, a reporter calledfon Gen, Grant and asked if the reports wore true. ““Yes, "' answered the gen- eral, ‘‘their statements are corroct, with the exception that I haye not said anything about Gon. Porter's restoration to tho army. 1 am anxious to see justico done to General Porter's reputation as a soldier, but the question of his being restored to the army is something that T have nothing to do with.' | “How came you to satisfy yourscli | that injustice had been done to Gen | eral Porter?” the reporter asked “Well, as you vrobally know,' was the reply, o hael | fully made up wy mind| that the judgment of the court mar- tial was a just one. Recently, how ever, at the request of Genoral Porter, I had read over all the testinony in the case and also orders and repor of the confederate officials who were at the second battle of Bull Run, Ay I progressed in my rvending T be came very much interested in the case’ and found that the| facts were very much ditferent from what T have hitherto believed, T am of the opinion that had all the testi- mony and documents now available | been brought before the court martial there would have been no voerdict against Gen. Porter. The orders of the confederate generals show that the confederatate army was just where Porter said it was and not where the court martial was led to beliove it was, For nineteen years I have belioved the finding of the court martial was a just one and warranted by the facts, hut now T see that T was in error and the fact that for twelve years, when I was general of the army and president of the United States, T had 1t inmy power to do Gen. Porter justice and~ did not, makes me feel under obligaiions to de all that T possibly can to remove the odium and disgrace from him now. Lima Taken Possession of by the Chileans, Natioual Associated Pross. NAMA, January 5. —The munici- pality of Lima has been suppressed by order of Commander Lynch, of the Chilean forces. Colonel Civzar Car- revara, the alcade, when the order was served upon him, refused to turn over his department to the Chileans until compelled by force. He has been subjected to no indignity, and the municipal affairs of Lima are now managed by the Chileans., The rea- son given by Commiandess®iynch for suppressing the Peruviun ~munici- pality of Lima was that it harbored foreign intervention in the aflairs of the present difticulty between Chili and Peru, and that international law warranted the nation justly occupying the territory of another pending ~the the final 1ssue of a war, in taking all vossible stops to prevent the inevita- ble injury to itself which the harbor- ing of unfriendly foreign intervention must produce.

When Guiteau was brother John wished him a happy New Yoar as ho passed and Guitear turned and seowlingly veplicd: “Youdry up.” When the prisonor reached the dock ho said: “Thad a very happy New Year, gon- tlemen and Lidies, and 1 hopo every body else had. 1 had plenty of visitors < high toned, middlo toned and low twned.

Guiteau, during this teatimony, toyed with his oyo-glasses and tirtod with the ladics, who need the usual interest in him. Onee he told Dr. Gray ho had botter get his moncy and go, us his testimony showed b was lamentably ignorant on the sub- jeet of insanity. Scoville thon placed Clark Mills, the sculptor who took the cast of Gui- teau's | s on the stand. The prose- cution objected, but the court allowed him to be sworn. Scoville then made r- a long argument to show that erani- ology” was valuable in ascertaining how far certain - malformation of the head indicated msanity The prosecution objected to the in- troduction of craniology s o test of sanity, and the court” sustained the objection and Mills was dismissed. Guiteau said he had a letter from one of Gartield’s old friends, sustain- ing his position and he would read it. Judge Cox sternly told the prisoner to keep quiet, and Marshal Henry told the guard to keep the prisoner quiet. In mocking tones Guiteau said he had got through with his re- marks, Mr. Mills was dismissed and John W. Guiteau was called to the stand, to state whother his brother was sin- cere or not in writing the letter to Senator Cameron, requesting a loan of 8500, The prisoner refused to be quiet, notwithstanding Marshal Henry's eflorts.
