Whitley's Secret Service Bureau about Mfteen months, and was dismissed in March, 1871, gave a startling description of the conduct of the hurcau before the Senatorial Committee of Investigation yesterday. Cob Whitley's official title Is that of Chief Operator, and his half-dozen assistants are called Assis tant Operators. Mr. Beatty never bound hims self hy any oath, and for a year after his engage men! under Whitley made arrests and seizures Without a shadow of legality, Whitley himself bad no legal right to make # seizure until he wae appointed an Inspector of Customs. One of Whitley's men, Andrew J. Whitman, is serving aterm in Sing Sing for grand larceny. During Beatty's connection with the bureau about half a imillion of cigars were seized and carried into Col. Whitley's office in Bleeckor street. pip TH f CIGARS GO TO THE Wire NlovaR? Of these cigars, about 20,000, were smoked and wiven away by Whitley and bis subordinates, and ay many were sent to Washington. In reply to Senator Casserly, the witness stated that the best chars were selected for that pur pose—sometines Partagas, sometimes other favorit Col.

Whitley said he didn't care about their taking the wine if the ense had been settled, but he didn't know whether he hud any right to make the seizure. The witness didn’t take any of the wine himself, but Whitley held him responsible, and discharged him. He could have gone to work again, but preterred the private detective business. BEATTY'S COUNTERFEIT PLATE STORY. Boutty also told an interesting story about the recovery of the counterfelt plate on the Sh and Leather Bank. It didn't take Beatty t hours to get the plate, everything having be Previously arranged.’ Whiiles, however, “are Fanged with Beatty that he (Whitley) should go discharged al dioulty nt with some to the bank and tell the ofticers that Beatty had been engaged bout five ths in gett te, sud had spent adeal of money wh id not refund him.
