Comptroller Huiburd's Removal RecOu-
mended in tho House.
Considerable excitement was created in the
House to-day by resolution offered by Mr.. Hooper,
from the Committee on Banking and Currency re.
commenting the removal OF Mr.. Hulburd from the
position Of Comptroller of the Currency.
The committee nave been engaged for long
time in the investigation OF charges brought
against the Comptroller by Mr. Merriam, member
OF the committee. Mr.. Merriam opposed MI. HUI
buTd's reappointment In February, and, failing to
nefeat IT, has been very active in promoting this In
qulry. The testimony Is very vOluminous, and 1t
will not be printed for days; but the principal
points developed by the examination have already
appeared In the HERALD. Mr. Hulburd's connection
with Mr. Calender in the Ocean Bank matter was
Dne OF the ventilated charges but the acceptance OF
horse and carriage from the national bank people
IN New York and the allowance Of $4,000 to ma
tlona bank examiner as expenses to Washington
are the charges which Influenced the action OF the
committee. Hulourd has had strong friends and
active enemies in the committee and out of
IT, and he declares that the whole matter is q
conspiracy against him, growing out Of old
business enmtes, and demands to be heard In ex-
culpauon OF his conduct. Mr.. Dawes asked the /!
question IN the House whether he had an oppor- |
tunity TO be heard In his defence before the com.
mittee, and was answered in the negative This the
VINO see strong evidences OF misconduct IN the tes
Mony adduced, seemed to think should be
accorded to him. An effort was made In the
committee 10 recommend 10 tho Pres.
Dent the necessity OF Hubburd's removal, but |
more moderate course was adopted and the re- |
commentator made to the House instead. Such Is |
The pressure brought to bear against him. and the |
weight az the testimony itself is OF such charac.
ter that II Is not believed the President can resist
the recommendation OF the committee, especially II
The House sanctions the resolution.

Of an hour with the President to-day with regard TO
fhe poi tical situation In louisiana lie told tho
President he had no demands to make, but simply |
desired 10 offer some suggestions which he thought

very cordial, and assured Mr. Plnchback that he |
did not desire TO interfere with the politics Of
