The investigation did show That
Fisk, Gould, Corbin & Co. procured
tho appointment Of Butterfeld TO the
post Of Assistant Treasurer at New
York. Their relations with the Presi-
dent were of q character to enable
them to do that. Butterfeld was
their tool, and 50 damning was the
proof against him, that he was dis
missed without investigation. It did
further show that the conspirators
were in communication with the Presi-
dent during the corner and that spe-
cial messenger was sent to Pennsyl-
yania, where the President was, with
letter from them. That the Presi-
dent replied "an right" to that letter,
rests upon hear say and people can
draw their own inferences as tc its
probable truth.
The investigation further showed,
that with or without authority, but
undoubtedly with he1 knowledge, the
conspirators invested $500, 900 ON ac-
count of Mrs. Grant, and that they
drew a check for $25, 900 in her favor
as the profits resulting from the in
yestment. If these things indicate
anything, what is it?

SrNotLAn Us ii may seem, yet the

price Of coal was not increased by the

in New York at ns low figure as it
could without the tariff. In other
words, that tho sum levied by the tar

pie aro incapable Of knowing any
