The Joint Commute on Ordinances
scANDAl.ous REvELAFroNs-sr CHAMBER
PROCEEDINGS.

Correspondents Il. r Evening Express J
WASHINGTON, Jan. aS.-The proceedings,
Of the Joint Committee On Ordnance, il
made public, would excite the Indignation
Of the country. Such another "star
Chamber" for the qualification OF private,
malice has not been known in this era 81
the world Tie speeches and movements
generally Of Butler and Logan inthe House
Of Representatives,, and Of Howard OF thu
Senate, all three members OF this JOINT
Committee, have given ink'ings OF malice;
but the whole trnth can only be known by
an examination Of the proceedings OF thIs
precious aud incoruptible trio. Bntler
seems to be the recognized chief, OF high
priest, Of the investigation, and as On il
ustfation Of the yillainy which is going on
| will refer only to the manner in which
the committee have treated General A. +.
Dyer, Chief of Ordnance, an officer OF
thirty years standing, and gentleman OF
the old school. Without any notice to
this officer, witnesses we're introduced be-
fore the con,mitteeAathat is before General
Butler, as he generally sits alone i'll the
committee room, and plays the several
parts Of prosecutor, judge and witness-to
traduce and SANDER the character of Gen.
Dyer. Finding out what was going on,
Gen. Dyer addressed note to the COM
mittee asking to be allowed TO appear be-
fore them with counsel, If he was to be
tried, and to be confronted with the wit
nesses against him. This request was re-
fused him, and Butler also refused to al
low him a copy Of the testimony taken
Just here it may be asked-why is ths
i" Beast" pursuing Gen. Dyer maliciously
The question is easily answered. AT the
beginning OF the war Butler was in com-
mand OF troops about Fortress Monroe
Gen. Dyer WIS the ordnance officer charged
with certain operations then going on in
the Government workshops at the Fort
Butler attempted to exercise authority
over these shops and control their opera
tions. Gen. Dyer reported to the then
Chief of Ordnance that the action OF Gen.
Butler, il approved, necessarily suspended
the work on hand, which had been ordered
to be finished without delay. Gen. Hum
phreys reported the case to Secretary
Cameron, aud the result was the orders OF
Butler were all ignored This started the
Beast ia pursuit of Dyer. He addressed
to the Secretary Of War a letter abusing
DYER in the most violent manner, and, de-
scendlhg to the use Of the lowest black
guardism, Dyer made dignifed reply, but
one to the point, as was General Whites
note addressed to Butler in Richmond II
few days siuce. OF this reply Butler
seems to have taken no notice, but nursed
his wrath to keep it warm until his posi-,
ton In Congress has enabled him to give
vent to his malice through this ordinance

keepers to keep their valuables secured, and
their servants under strict surveillance.
Many of the petty larceny cases that are re-

who are posted concerning the domestic ar

an entrance. Unfortunately, servants are ne
cessary evils, but unless they are well known,
employers cannot be too vigilant.
