Subscribed and sworn to before me this 10th
day Of July, 1866. N. CALLAs,
Notary Public.
sR; I herewith file the deposi.
tion Of Major John Tunison.
#l& -
Mr.. Tomeny does not even pretend to have
any personal knowledge Of the matters set forth
In his charges against me, but bases his state
ment entirely upon the affidavit Of one Warren
Carpenter. I now endeavor to show that tho
afidavit Of said Carpenter Is wholly false, and
that he himself Is guilty Of the wrong. The
tive to transactions said to have taken place In
tho city Of Mobile In the fore part Of January
last, when II can be shown BY large number
Of witnesses, and Is already shown by witness
Major John Tunison, that he was at that time
one hundred and eighty i've miles distant, and
In fact never saw Mobile until about the 18th
day Of February thereafter, absolutely pre-.
oludes the possibility Of his having any per-
sonal knowledge Of the facts as set forth In his
afhdavit, and II for no other reason, that alone
should be sufficient to throw II out entirely.
But this 10 not the only instance Of his per-
Jury. Major Tunlson swears that he not only
heard him offer 10 swear false for one r. W.
Ruter, but that he had heard him admit that he
had made false dspositions, and should the de-
partment desire other and farther proof on this
| point, would respectfully state that an ready
and willing TO make oath In the most positive
and emphatic manner that said Carpenter has
i knowingly and Intentionally committed the
crime Of perjury at two different times within
my own personal knowledge.
| Respectfully. &c.,
Hon. II. McCULLocH, Sec. Of the Treasury.
State Of Illinois, County Of Kankakss, 81.
Personally appeared before me, WI Keuaga,
clerk for the sbove-named county, John Tuni

STREET IMPRovEMENTs.-Yest esterday, II
going our rounds, We noticed that workmen wer
engaged In laying the sewer between New Yorl
and Pennsy lvania avenues, on Seventeenth street
the southern end Of II having been completed.
On II street north, tho new Nicholson pave
msnt has been laid on the carriage way be
tween Fifteen.and-a-half and siItssn.and.a.h hal
streets, and the pavement has been relsid alopt
the north side Of In Fafsyette Square. The i'm
provsmsnt Is an excellent one, and those In tn
vicinity no doubt think so.
Workmen are now employed In grading ant
paving the carrisgeway Of Seventh street west
between north and boundary street.
The sewer being constructed In Fifth stree
west, between @ street and Massachusetts, ave
nue., has boon completed between q and 1
streets.
The work Of grading Virginia avenue from
Seventh street west to the canal, eastward, 4
progressing finely, and will bs completed at Al
early day.
We also noticed that the bed Of street north
between Fourth and Fifth west, 10 being gravellet
preparatory to laying the carringeway with th'
Nicholson pavement. We believe this will be
very handsome improvement, II II Is completed
In good style, and We believe such will bs th'
case.
