1.-The soldiers hostility, created and
kept ut white heat by the Republican
leaders, and used with such powerful
effect against US during the last cam
psign, could not be brought into play
sgainst. Groesbeck. The "artiacar" as
saults, the most potent elements
hitherto in the hands Of the Radicals,
would also receive their quietus in the
event of his nomination. When the
flag of our country was insulted snd
lowered at Fort Sumpser, be felt the
same degree Of humiliation and indig-
nation that peryaded the breast OF every
other true and patriotic American;
when it was hoisted in triumph over the
battlements OF the stricken enemy at
Appomatox, he rejoiced as became
every patriot to rejoice whose only
aspirations, heartfelt and sincere above
all others, were that our Constitution
and the Union under it, might endure

The threatened disintegration Of the

Upon mature reflection, after weigh

rus SATT DSFIRTnEST INVESTIGATION.

Bat one witness was examined last night
Chief Engineer Shock. Ills testimony was all
directed to the contract with Roach for build
ing the engines Of the steamer Tennessee
Upon a cross-examinatlon by the Secretary
II was developed that the estimate Of the
witness (himself an engineer) for the con-
struction Of these engines was from sSss, 900
to 600, 900, Mr.. Roach is to receive the
old engines and sSoo, 200.
The witness estimated the old engines at
S6s,ooO. SO that Mr.. Roach viii receive
sses. 200, which h $4,000 lower than the
lowest and $4,000 lower than the highest
estimate OF q practical engineer. II was
further shown that had the Goternment made
the en-. Ines, the expense would have been
greater than the contract price, because
special preparations would have been neoes-
Sary; and finally II was proven that compound
engines, such as are called for by the contract,
could not have boon made ct the Government
navy yard and guaranteed at all.
At the close OF the evenings testimony a
proposition was made TO adjourn the COM
miitee for about ten days, as Mr.. Blair de-
sired to be absent for that time. The prop
esltlon was not agreed to. The Secretary
made some remarks against the proposltion
10 adjourn, eminently just to himself, the
Government and the country.
