judiciary committee reported adversely to-
and asked the indefinite postponement O
the bill allowing accused persons to testify
in their own behalf.

vantage to certain persons whom they were
about to try.

ponement, and the bill went on the calen-

nation, and read letter from gentleman
in jackson, Michigan, stating that some

ment and Liberal Republican document,
under his (Chandler's) frank, and that of

his astonishment that these two distin-
guished Senator's should circulate such pub
lications, and asked Chandler to send him
no more documents unless they had the

resort to forgery.

his name on these documents, or on any
such, was fraud and o forgery.

ton, and said that he had been almost as
