The New York Custom House Inyesti
CATION.
GENERAL HILLYER EXPLAINS.

SENEEAL HlLLTER EXPLAINS.
The Senate committee to investigate into
alleged abuses in the New York custom house
met to- day, when a letter was read from General
Hillyer, dated March 9th, in which he saws he
regards it as utterly immaterial to the issues
under the consideration Of the com mittee how
long he remained in the service. or wher vi mr
Leet was attached to General Grants head
quarters as clerk but at General Porter special
request the committee permitted that gentle
pan to testify As to certain records on these
subjects and make his comments thereon. Gen
eral Hlllytr regarded it as due to to himself as
well as to the just hearing of such testi-
mony. that the committee shall be in
possession OF the exact facts in the case.
ne men proceeds to give them at length, stat
ing that he left Nicksburg a week or two before
tne surrender OF that place on account of being
disabled by severe attack OF rheumatism and
leit under direction of the medical director;
although he was not literally there at the fall
OF Nlcksburg, he was there during all the often
slve operations Of the siege. He knew nothing
OF the date of Leet's detail. He knew it was not
customary at headquarters to make a perman-
ent detail OF clerks until their fitness was tested
by trial. For reasons stated by Hillyer the
date OF the detail cited by Porter was no evil
dence to Hillyers mind that that was the time
Leet joined headquarters. On the contrary
IT was in evidence that he was at head
quarters on trial for sometime before
Hiilyer concludes a. follows: II stated in nv
testimony in New Yo'k that nav impression was
that Leet was detailed upon the recommends
ton OF Gen. Parker. IL the stenographers re-
poiteu as saying zen. Porter, thew mieun-

Porter DID not consult with President Grant
before testifying. do not suppose the President
could have informed Porter when Leet became
clerk at headquarters, but he would have in
formed HIM that did not leave Vicksburg upon
the taking effect of my resignation. ! was not
