refer to my testimony before that committee as
printed The list you refer to had been destroyed
and thus | could and did testify from recolec-
ton merely, yet that recollection was very dis
tinct in reference to every or nearly every name
mentioned by me, but your own. | remember
however that in stating the names of the men,
bers ofthe assembly Of 1856, who were included
in that list that when your name was reached
IN reading from the Assembly journal the record
of those who voted for the Bill, and l was asked
if your name was on that list felt and expressed
great doubt whether it was. | at first thought
it was not, but after little reflection stated that
| thought you must have been placed by me
upon the list for the reason that you had voted
age on the passage Of the Bill, aud for no other
reason. The Hon. Chairman, as well as the
other members of the committee, will l think

ought to have been included in my testimony,
but it was not reduced to writing and | regret
that did not request the committee to do so.-
The fault was mine, not theirs.

If you can get along without publishing this,
I wish you would The recollection Of that

Mineral Point, June 25th, 1858.
Mr.. HENRY JOHNSON, Kenosha.
DEAR SIR:
On my return home yesterday, from an alb
sence of ten days, found your letter of the
18th.
In reply to- your question, whether am ''sure
that among those packages which were go de.
posted by Mr. Jenkins in my office, there was
any such package directed to you 1t gives
me pleasure to state, that when first examined
by the committee, and without much time for
reflection, it was my impression that delivered
a package to You, and so stated to the commit
zee, but upon subsequent reflection, became
satisfied that had COMPOUNDED you with another
member, and went to the committee some days
afterwards and altered MY testimony, by erasinp
your name and substituting another, which al
tcration | am sure was in accordance with the
fact.
have no recollection that any Of The " pack
ages" were directed to you or delivered to YOU
and since your s1enial. have no doubt that
Mr. Jenkins was mistaken, in embracing your
name in the list, as | think he was also in two
or three other instances; nor is it strange that
he should have made such mistake. having
made the list only from recollection, aided by
the list of Ayes and Noes on the Bill
Very respectfully,
Your obed;ent servant,
NJ. NJ. STRONG.

THE TIMES, THE HARBoR AND JUDGE
PoTTER.-Itls ofno possible use to have
any words with the Kenosha Times, so
long as that paper pretends to know no
difference between Judge Potter OF
Wisconsin and Mr.. Washbmne of Him
OILS. Mr.. Potter has not the keeping of
Mr.. Washburne, or the Congressional
committees, and is therefore not respon.
sible for their acts. Whenever the
Times learns that much, it will perhaps
see that it has mis-represented Mr.. Pot
ter, and that our representations of the
matter are strictly correct.
In the mean time it may be well ia
remark, that any attempted structures or
fault finding with republican members
of Congress, comes with an ill grace
from the modern democracy-a party
which puts itself on the record against

Hon. e. L. JENKINS, Milwaukee
| Dear sir, having learned in the first place by
the newspapers, and more recently by the per-
usual of the Report of the q Joint Select com
mittec appointed to inve stigate into the alleged
frauds and corruption in the disposition of the
Land grant by the Legislature of 1856" that /
am reported among others, who were members
of that Legislature, of having received from the
La Crosse s. milwaukee, Railroad Company
the sum of $4,000. in Bonds of said company, for
having as members of the Assembly voted in
favor of the Bill granting certain lands donated
by Congress to this State for Railroad purposes
to the said company, and knowing as l do, that
so far as I am concerned in the matter, the re-
port is entirely destitute of truth (oIiso much of
it as charges me with having received any such
Bonds or any thing else from said company or
any other source,) and feeling it to be not only
due TO myself, but also to my constituents and
the public al large, TO endeavor to exonerate
myself from the stigma which is thus uniusty
placed upon me, as we'll as the injustice of being
published to the world at large ofhaving receiv-
ed liberal donation Cor brbe,) when in fact
never received any thing, neither did l expect
to receive anything of pecuniary nature for any
vote which 1 gave upon any subject or Bill
whatever, as a member Of that Legislature
Neither did ever receive any intlmaton from
any person either verbally or otherwise, direct
ly or indirectly, that would receive any such
Bonds any thing else of value from said COM
pany or from any ether source, for any vote
which would give, or had given. for or against
the Bill above referred to, or any other Bill or
matter which came before the Legislature, of
which | was a member.
do not wish to, be understood as in any man
ner imputing any intentional error to any per-
son or persons. (and am frank to say that
consider Mr., Jenkins entirely above any such
suspicious yet knowing that there must be a
screw loose somewhere, and after carefully per-
using your testimony and that of NJ M, Strong
before the committee l am inclined to think that
, the error of which complain has resulted from
the testimony of YOURSELF, or that of Mr.. NJ.
NJ Strong or both. therefore most respect
fully yet earnestly request you to inform me at
your earliest convenience whether you are sure
that my name was on the list of persons made by
you, by Mr.. Kilbourns direction who voted
for the Bill, and to whom the company proposed
to donate Bonds, and if so, whether you enclosed
any such Bonds in an envelope for me, and d.
rected the same to me, and if so whether you are
sure that you deposited the same in the Office of
NJ. NJ. Strong thu attorney Of the company
Your answer as soon as convenient will be
received with much pleasure, and for which l
shall feel under many obligations.
In the mean time I remain as ever your
friend and humble servant,
