SIR In report made to the house of Represent
atiyes during the last session of Congress by the
committee on expenditures the public buildings,
of which you were chairman mention is made of a
billiard table for the Presidents house. As much
has been said respecting it in the public prints, will
you have the goodness to inform me of the facts
connected with its purchase, out of what fund was
paid for, whether public private, and if the table
was purchased with the knowledge and appreciation
of the President.
have the honor to be with great respect your
obedient servant,

GEN. S. VAN RENSSELAER,.

House Of Representatives .NasN Cd, 1897.
DEAR SIR | received your letter of this day, and
have to say in answer, that the committee on the
public buildings, of which ! was chairman at the
last session, the discharge of their duty, found it
necessary to have an account or schedule of the
furniture in the Presidents house obtained in virtue
off previous appropriation by Congress- We had
no communion with the President, on the subject ;
nor do suppose That he had any knowledge, either
of what we applied for, or what was furnished us :
our application to his private Secretary and the
Inventory or account, as handed to US by him, was
annexed to our report without examination by u.s.
and both the report and inventory we're ordered to
be printed, neither the one nor the other having
been first read in the house, the reading having been
dispensed with, as is usual in Of reports of
committees.
Soon after the report and inventory had been
printed and some days before the discussion arose in
the house the report, Learned from The PRESIDENT
that the inventory far as ii related to the billiard
table, &c. entirely erroneous and that no part
Of The public appropriation had been, could be ap
piled to any such purpose. regret that circuln-
stances prevented me from making this explanation
afterwards when the conversation on the subject took
place in the House, since had doneso is proba-
bic SO many remarks might not have been INDUCED
in before the public
am very respectfully, your humble servant.

Mr.. w. ". Seaton, one of the Editors OF the Ma

incton Telegraph of Thursday, the following &C
count of casual dialogue between him and Colo

lucky.
"Some time in the session Of 1866, as was
passing through the Senate chamber to the secreta-
rvs table, after the Senate had adjourned, was
hailed by Col. Johnson (stting one of the fire
places under the gallery, with one other member
standing OF walking near hm) who, in his familiar
manner of speaking, said, How goes it, old friend:
Well, when are you coming out r.
Editor.-On what subject, Colonel?
"Col why, on the Presidential question.
Arc you not coming out against the Administration
EDITOR can't tell. The Administration has
hardly commenced its career yet and don't see
any thing, so far, to condemn.
& Col J.-What of that Has not Clay taken
away the laws from your paper =!
Editor-True but that would be making a
private grievance motive for public conduct; and
that we cannot do, however sore we may feel about
it. As for Mr.. Clay, know he is no friend Of ours;
we opposed him, and understand that he has al
ways been hostile TO us and our paper: but the Adj
nioistration may pursue policy that we have op-
4 ~ ff61her Administrations, and ifthey do so,

will adopt? Suppose they consult the public nte-
