Cleveland Appointed w Special Admiuistrator- Bite ter Feeling Hetween the Counsel Who in + Covtesting the WAIL? Cool Surrey The examination in the case of the con- tested will of Horace Greeley was resumed yoa- terday before Surrogate Coffin at White Plains, Whe daughters of Me. Greeley were proseut in doop and becoming mourning, and seemed to be on the most affectionate terms with each othor. Gabrielle cast scornful glances on Mr. BACITING wesr- CHESTE Aaalah T. Willams. Mr. Sinclair failed to put in an appearance, aud the only exccutor present vas Mr, Richard H, Manning, who held no ¢ munication, however, with Mr. Willams. Judge Hart, counsel for Ida, and Mr. George P. Nelson, counsel for Gabrielle, acted with the most per- foct accord. Mr. Charles B, Whitehead, trustes of the Childron’s Aid Society, was present during the evening, but did not scem particularly inter- ested. Mr. Willams was lonely and tgnored. ‘Thoro is considerable feeling against the com- missioner among the residents of Chappaqua, ‘and some of bis netghbors took occasion %& display thetr anger against hin the other even- fog in a singularly annoying way. Mil, WILLIAMS OPENS CFOS COMMODORE BENNETT. Mr. Williams opened the case with expatiating upon an article printed in the Herald of Thurs- day last, commenting severely on the course taken by Mr. Sinclair. The publication of the article was a contempt of court, and he asked the Court to vindicate its own dignity and as- certain what individual had {nstigated the ticle. “The durrogate said that he did not sit there to Alscover the authors of newspaper articles, but to determing what was Mr. Grecley’s last will testament Mr. Williams (after looking over yesterday's Herald)—1 ain plensed to see, your H hat the Hernil of tu-day has made the amendé hon orate in acknowledging that Mr. Sinclair and the other personal friends of Mr. Greeley desire ouly the advancement of the daughters’ inter- eata In the settlement of the estate. [ have nothing further, therefore, to say on this sub- ye, te WHO 18 CONTESTING THE WILL? Judge Hart here demanded for whom Mr. Williams appeared in this case. He had heard that the executors of the will of 181 were united tr Greeley's will, and he de spread upon the reoord for whom the counsel appeared. If coun- gel appeared for the executors, the executors hhad no right in law to contest tho will, and the publio institution, for which provision to tho amount of about $10,000 had been made in the will of 1871, might be permitted by the Court to Question the validity of the last will. There was No case on the books authorizing executors to appear, Wililams represented vo party, and had ronal rights in that court, He vertalniy Bad’no right to chainpion the relatives of Mr Greeley The Surrogate overruled the objection, and deolded that the exec had a rizht to legatees, An exception was noted. AUNTY LAMSON'S ABSENCE. Miss Lamson not being present, the Surrogate dd not go on with another sub- Mr. Williams was not willing eed until Miss Lamson b nined.

He had a petition in his hands for the appoi ment of an administrator ad litem. ‘The peti. dion was to have been executed by Mr. Nathan Barnes Greeley, a legatee in the will, but had hot been, owing to his abaenge. Judge Hart hore to belp youin He won't be here. He won't be y way. Ishall, however, make uo opposition to the appointment of a Proper person to take charge of the estate. I sugient Miss Ida Greeley, and her uncle, Mr. Cleveland, the husband Mr. Greeley's sister, Way be sesociated with her, Mr. Willinuus—{ suppose it isa matter in the iscretion of the Court.

Boston, Dec. 13,—The Committee on Fed- eral Relations of the Massachusetts Legislature held a meeting to-day to consider the resolu- tions Introduced, on leave, in the House on Thursday, by Mr. Hoyt of Athol, condemning the course of Senator Sumner in presenting a bill In the United States Senate for the erasure Of the names uf battles with fellow clutz the army register and regimental colors. Mr. Hoyt appeared in behalf of his resolution, and presented Mr. Sumper's bill, which was in- troduced in the national Senate, Dec. 2, and which was laid upon the table, and was now pending in some form, The proposition was simply to erase from the flags of the regular army the list of the battles in which the regi- ments have engaged. If the principle was right it would be ashame to keep the names on the flags in own State House, The ls position, in effect, concerned ever who part in the war. The proposition was to reduce the the Union to the Confederate soldier. No other deduction could be made from the bill. Mr. eo hfs) oF, and this resolve was the 0: had of dxjprdasing thelr re cious proposition, He offered it in no part!- zan spirit, but as a citizen and an old soldierand thought that the Legisiature would do itself credit in the passage of the revolution, BUNCOMBE. Mr. Nutt, a member of the House from Natick, followed in advocacy of the resolution, and said it originated with Col. Hoyt, and was not, as had been, charged, Inspired by Gen. Butler It was only a beginning. Adopt this and the erasure of tablets and the levelling of monu- ments would follow,and such mutilated vet- erans as Sergeant Plunkett must be put out of aig! Mr. Porter of Revere concurred in the senti- ment of the resolution, and had been asked to Present @ similar resolution himself. It pre- sents a recurrence of the same sentiments uttered by Mr. Sumner in 1845. The relations of those who ‘served, In the army, were very strong. They endured ptivations for mengro ay, and had claims on the considera- bead] of the country which no man who was not inthe army could qparecrst .. They Voluniteered and performed their duty fro sense of right, and it was not fora man like Charles Sumner, who. b only been aman of words, to say that these memories shoula be thrown aside. The North was not ready to for- get their soldiers, and thelr record should not be obliterated by any dash of legislation such as this. The Legisiawure of this State would be recreant to its duty if it failed to censure this proposition from &man who had only decried war. MORE BUNCOMDE. In roply to.a question from Mr. Smith of the committee, Mr. Porter said ould never exree to have the Southern battle flags in the national capital, though he was willing they should cherish the memory of their brave men. Mr. Porter read an editorial article from the Richmond Enquirer opposing the proposition, and said he would consider it sacrilege to ask fhe South to forget the mamorias of their brave nen. Mr. Thompson of Gloucester, a member of the committee, asked whether the brave men of the South would not enlist in the army if their names were erased from the flag. “Mr, rorwa Said that the men who really dtd the fi being oh enc ald le were good friends, ts y n soldigrs game into the ndy Of the mosac WU UATUS and elay Where. that the Sumrer ,hould be discreet in the favora he would shox’ the Bouth. as some fincas friendabip wore an injury.

Mr. Lincoln, a member of the committés’ from Boston, inquired whether Mr. Hoyt would not consent to a modification of the resolution 80 98 to deal simply with the bill, It was an un- Precedented measure to pass such # personal censure, Mr. Hoyt replied that it was time to make a precedent in order to rebuke @ Senator of their ‘own election, Mr. Portor sald that they should doal with the man as he was the author of the resolution and oaine from this Mr, Lincoln did n ators or anybody els: Me, Porter said the rule was that only the Chlef Executive and the monbers of bis Cabinet should be above instruction, Mr. Nuttexplained that the Army Register con- tained the list of battles in which the Union arms were defeated as well as when they were victorious, dtr.

From the time the committee met until the adjournment of the House this evening, correspondents were on the qui vive to find out to what McComb testified to, but it was up hill work. The fact, however, that McComb’s counsel were radiant with smiles, and_ Ames and bs friends excited and uneasy, in uced every one to believe that a shot had beom sent below the water line. McComb has many friends here, and he received quite an ovation this evening. He was congratulated on every hand for the handsome manner in which he ao quitted himself before the committee. The main portion of his testimony, especially all the details about the subscription of the stock for Fant, his failure to mpet his engage- ments and throwing the stock on his (McCormb's) hands, and his tendering the money to the off cers of the Credit Mobilier, has already been published in Tar SuN. ‘The original letters from Ames were produced, as were also a num- bor of other additional documentar, evidence, to corroborate his oral testimony. In addition to this he swore positively that one of the me: bors accused received fity shares of Credit Mo~ bilier stock, from which be realized $200,000, ASTONISHED AT THY SUN'S ENTERPRISE, Judge Waniéa (6 Know Wass wad hid object In making public the proceedings of his sult io the Pennsylvania Courts, Mr. McComb replied that he did not desire any publicity and had nothing to do with the publication of hts testimony. Indeed he would have given a great deal to prevent that publication. Ho was prob- ably more astonished at that publication than any other man in the country, He was on the most friendly terms with all the gentlomen whose names Ames had given bim as the recipients of the benefits of bis 200 shares. He had no dght with them. He had no desire to do them any injury. Indeed, he would rather do anything that one man could reasonably do for another to have saved their reputations, but since these facts had, without his sanction, been mado public, be deemed it his duty to do all in his power to sus tain himself against the base and malig. nant charges Ames had preferred against him. He had refrained from tostifying to many facts before the Examiner sppointed by the Supreme Court of Pennsylva- nia simply from a desire to save some of his po- tical friends. He had told there only the facte that were absolutely necessary to sustain his case against Ames et cl., and in this particular he was much more careful of the reputations of others than Ames or his counsel was, for the letters and Net of names furnished by Amos were withheld until he was compelled on cross examination to produce thom, ONE OF THE RASCALS NAMED UNDER OATH, When asked by the Chairman of the commit= tee whether he know of his own know! edge thas any member of Congress had renaived any of thi va, H6 promptly answered that he did, €24 pamod a prominent Republican member of the House. ‘There are various rumors as to who that moms ber is, but asit is all guess work I prefer not to rum the risk of injuring unneces- sarily any one who might be innocent. One thing ts perfectly certain, MeComb's couns sel are sanguine of bringing home and clinobe ing the facts of the bribery of more than one Congressman, it 1s also equally certain goes Ames and several others whose names have been mentioned are very uneasy and restless. This Was noticable yesterday, and more than one obe server uf the House remarked It, A CLINCHER, In ansver to ® question from the Chairman, MeComb said that the list of names which had been published was written by him on the back of one of Ames's letters from the dictation of Oakes Ames and John B. Alley. Both these gentlemen were present in the room, and Mos Comb turned to them and challenged them to then and there deny this if they dared, and they sat mute, It is said that the names of several members of Congress were mentioned who have not been mentioned heretofore, Ames has openly declared that he will im« peach McComb's veracity, and that he will call a number of witnosves who will swoar that they would not believe him on oath. If all of these good swearers are of po more consequence than one who has signified bis intention to so swear, they will have but little weight with either the committee or the publi Both McComb and his counsel are perfectly easy on this score, If Ames dovs attempt to {inpeaoh bis character for truth and veraoity, Cols. Thomas A. Scott, John W. Forney, and Mr. Harmer of Philadelphia will be called to re but. Mr. Harmer, who is now in the olty, said to-day that if he was called he would swear that he had known Col.
