This is a dirty business, and the more it is stirred

Election Frauds----rhe evidences Def0rc
them-Mr. Grinnelrs Letter, and his Tes-
timony.
The expose which we made last week ofths extra
ordinary and outrageous conduct OF seven OF the re
cent Grand ury to the election iraudshas
caused terrible foundering amens the Wall street
CLIQUE. But, instead Of answering the charges we
made against them, they pat forward Mr. Grinnei',
who has reputation for veracity and integrity; and
under cover OF a cloud of dust raised about aim,
they seek TO escape.
But even Mr.. Grinnell does not deny any of the
important part of the testimony we gave; on the
contrary he confirms it in all its substantial partcu-
lars. But that may not be supposed to be par
tial or unfair, we give Mr.. GrinnelPs own version
Of the matter.
Gentemen-I perceive that staten ents purporting to
contain the substance OF testimony before the grand
jary have been Circulated which garbled and msre

Permit lay before the public the of my
evidence the occasion referred far relates
the statements SUPPOSED 70 be eonadcted BY M James
had heard shortly after nv return from Congress in
the summer that D. Stevenson had Urten letter from
Washington during the session, TO Mr. James Lee on the
subject Of the Pilot Bill then before Congress, in which
he had stated for certain compensation he could de-
feat that bill That the receipt OF this letter the sub
ect laid before the board of underwriters for their
consideration, AS to whether they would meet tho de-
mands made by Stevenson. ! heard OF the manner IN
which Stevenson proposed to attain his purpose ana tha
was of tho administration members 10 De
from the House when the question was brought
up, by having them TO dine with him at Georgetown,
Alexandria, some other place. a.
That Stevenson had been charged with writng sush
letter called by OF the pilots TO HON
he had denied the charge and asserted that was iase
in every particular had understood that the request OF
Stevenson for money had bee" communicated 10 The board
underwriters, by M Lee and my impression was thst me
amount was hundred dollars and that had been
furnished. That havins heard these Statements from
highly respectable source and that Stevenson had do
MED their accuracy the pilots concluded that he was
,ssorihy OF confidence That had heard this matter ire
quently spoken Of but that the particulars were commu
mic ated to me by Mr. Zebedee Cook r President OF the
4" Mutual Safety Insurance Company" This is the SUB
stance statement referring to Sevenson' connec-
ton with Mr. Lee and the pilot law Icannot think that
M Lee has co,.radieted It, gave the Grand Jury, and
have now again gwen, the name my Informant.
