That which protects from or prevents this

Washington Matters.

New YORK. Jan. "a.
The Tribune's Washington correspondence
Gays no testimony has been given before the
Committee of Investigation in any way impli.
eating Republicans with John Browns raid. -
Mr.. Realf states emphatically that the move.
ment was known to but few person as Brown
was cretive man and kept his own coun
sells. None who accompanied him to Har.
pers Ferry but Kagi was informed of the
plan. which did not contemplate running of
negroes. He says also that Brown and those
in his company were radical abolitionists who
denounced the Republicans When Senator
Wilson made his speech in Lawrence, they
assailed him for failing to approach their
standard of duty. Mr.. Wilson appeared be-
fore the Committee and stated that he bad
written to DR.. Howe, of Boston, for original
letters which had been referred to bv Realf
That letter was written in May. 1858, and
substantially tells DR.. Howe that information
has reached him to the effect that Brown in.
tended using arms furnished for Kansas, by
the Mass Aid Society, in manner not con
templated, and advises that they should be
withdrawn from him.
Mr. Blair, of Collinsville, who manufactur
ed the pixies which figured at Harper Ferry
states that they were ordered during the Kan
sas trouble as weapons Of protection.
Mr.. Calendar Cashier of Bank at Hart
ford, proves that Brown had funds there which
were drawn 10 furnish supplies for Kansas
Neither had the remotest idea of the move
ment in Va till it was published.
The Herald's correspondence says Realf con
cluded his testimony before the Committee to
day. 1t was detailed account of the organ
iZatien Of the Brown Provincial Government
in Canada, which has already been published
He testified that he went to England in 1858
and knew nothing aboat Browns operations
after that time. He was requested to exam
inc certain letters found 10 Browns bag to see
if he could identify, but testified that he knew
nothing about Browns correspondents or the
authorship of the letter. 1t is evident that
some members of the Committee have been
disappointed in Realfs testimony, he having
testified to nothing of any importance that
was not before 10 evidence.
Mr.. B. B. Menter, the Vermont member oil
the National Kansas Committee and previous
ly the leader of colony at Mspleton. Bour-
bon county, Kansas. confirmed the testimony
of Mr.. Corning. The refusal of the National
Committee to furnish arms to Brown in 1857
when he commenced testifying in relation to
the invasion of Kansas by armed bodies OF
men. He was stopped,
Senator Wilson went before the COMMITTEES
To-day and informed them that in time he
would produce copy of the letter to DIR
Howe concerning the movements of Brown,
based upon the information he received from
Col. Forbes. He sent to Natick for it.
The Chairman Informed him they were will
ling to give him his own time TO prepare his
testimony. The President sent to the Senate
the name of Thos Hoyne. as Marshal fer the
Northern District of Illinois.

appears likely TO be vorsbe the droEers than
was last week. The number offered for sale great
Forty-fourth street market yesterday 800 Of
fresh cattle, and about so head of stale stock which
makes the supply some 700 head less than
week. and the price upon the averageas upon the
various grades of stock about half cent pound
net in favor of the droyer The weather was very ine
and the state of things generally much more lively than
week ago. and larger proportion than usual of the
cattle yarded sOld and the market closed without
any appearance Of decline from opening prices which
were at rates equivalent to ten pound net for
all hrst-cass stock Some of the best buyers say that
they paid lo3@1oHca pound, some of them ktl and
weigh and that upon all estimated weights price was
full half cent pound than last week This may
not be true regards ordinary quality of stock to day
but we think yesterday, and could see any
reason for change at the close w the market

very few expected arrive. The quality of stock ths
week was very fair, and the price idsnticay the

The suspension of the School Library law,
is much to be regretted. Better would it be
to economise and retrench elsewhere. The
efforts of our Senator, Mr.. Garfield, in behalf
of the Library as intimately connected with
School interests, will be applauded by we'll
wishers of the rising generation, and the friends
of Common Schools.
