from Mr.. Bartlett shall read by and by the deposition
Of Mr. Cranston in relation 10 Csfee To conversation

clerk o. ha department was assured 10y py Soa naI

II seems TO be hardly necessary that should 90 iur-
her into that matter need not read any more papers,
as it woud be absolutely abusing the patience OF the
Senate My object in reading what have in regard 10
him is TO show lhai this Csee who The private
secretary Of Colonel Mcclellan, and who wa. with him
during his expedition into New Mexico with this CON-
mission was man whose character no bad that
Colonel Mcclellan himself had Just appreciation OF Il
but he still rebes on the testimony OF tbat man. Win
Others on which to found charges against Mr. Bartlett
Il would seem that Mcclellan and these four Witnesses
had formed sort OF quinupie alliance 10 swear az hard
they could, In order TO break down an innocent and
unofendihg individual 80 s..yes tt-,- ~ (.
shall next proceed 10 the consideration OF he charges
which have bean preerred against MIR. Bartlett really
very much regret that should have taken up much
| OF the time OF the Senate in reading many OF these
docu eps. which, from their character, must be dssse-
fu, but have felt il to be due to Mr. Bafe, who has
no opportunity to defend himself thatI should do what
could and what deem il my duty TO do. TO rescue his
character from the hands OF who worse than
vipers IL serpent should attempt 10 coil himself Around
an uhsuspecing and unohending individual, he might
seek the wide world through and not find one more in
offensive than the gentleman who Is Row apparently the
victim OF a dlsgracefnl combination, :. +.
Now turn TO the charges which have been weferred
against Mr.. Bartlett There eight charges hed
BY Colonel Mcclellan, officer the army OF the Uni
ted States wearing the brevet commission OF lieutenant
coonel man holding such commission should be one
Of high honor and integrity II is my purpose 10 exam
inc these charges briefly can, and to show not
only that they false IN themselves, bn that he knew
them 10 be and-although believe he has not made
oath 10 them, stIl he has preferred them TO the depart
ment against the umissoner--knowIng them 70 be
false-bas procuru them 10 be sworn TO by Chambern,
Fowler, Cafee Lusby and somebody else, and thus has
been guilty of subonaiion OF perjury IN getting those
men 10 swear to charges which be knew TO be untrue.
