THE NEW YORK CUSTOM MOUSE INVESTIGATION.
Gen. Porter ExaWined.

The Retrenchment Committee Of the Senate
to investigate irregularities In the New York
custom house reassembled at the capitol this
morning-al the members of the committee
present except Mr.. Stewart.
Gen. Porter, private secretary of the Presi-
that he had underworld to persuade Col. Leet
from obtaining once in the New York custom
house, and had informed him that he knew such
was ,,s also the fsesSens opinion With regard
that 1t was composed of himself and wife, Gen.
Babcock and wife, and Col. Leet. Generals
Porter and Babcock had rented and furnished
house, and Col. Leet was invited to come in.
lpsteadoi thousands of dollars paid by Leet, the
highest amount he paid any one month was
46. The mess never received any interest
Mudgett had declared that the witness General
Porter was interested i'm the general-order bust
ness. but those he had given IS authority for the
General Porter says Mudgett was LEFT As the
reviler. General Porter further testified thai
he had never received cent, nor had he ever
asked any favor OF Leet to entitle him to any
favors. General Porter also read two letters
from himself to Mr.. Murphy, collector of the
port Of New York, in which he stated to that
gentleman that no one was allowed to use the
name Of the President or the writer for the pur-
pose Of securing appointment therein; he had no
knowledge Of any one being interested with Leet
And Stocking in the general order business Of the
had any partnership or business relations
with Messrs. Leet and Stocking in which
money had passed, and neither Of them
had dared TO- offer him anything for
his influence; had never solicited any ap-
pOntmeDt for either Col Leet or Mr. Stocking;
FIRST became acquainted with Col. Leet at Chat
tanooga in the fall OF 1868; Gen. Grant, shortly
after his Inauguration, did give Col. Leet let
ter to Mr.. Grinnell, who was then collector OF
the port of New York; the letter signed BY Leet
addressed to Lindsey, dated Sept. 9th, 1869, was
on the day that Gen. Rawlins died; Leet was on
Long Island, and witness and the President
were at Saratoga; Leet said to Lindsey i'm the
letter, "Come over; Porter will be glad to see
you; ne Is going ont to dine at two
o'clock" witness was not in Washington
when that letter was written. There must be
some mistake about the letter; could not swear
1t was in the handwriting of Leet. General
Rawlins died in the after noon Of September 9Th
and witness arrived here with the President
about an hour afterwards; never authorized
Col. Leet to write any letter making an appoint
mcnt for Lindsey. Remembered Of Lindsey
being at the White House once to present plan
to the President to prevent smuggling ON the
Canadian frontier. Had seen him at head
quarters at City Point; never sent messages to
him; never had either business or social trans
actions with Lindsey. He was regarded at the
White House as the secretary to Mr.. Grinnell.
The examination OF General Porter was still
in progress when our report closed.

EXrLOs1ON OF A BELLOWs.-A singular ac-
cident il recorded in the Louisville Courier
Journal. Mr.. Veith, blacksmith in that CITY,
commenced his work early in the morning, as
usual, by blowing up fire i'm the forge by means
of his bellows. After pumping at the lever for
rything ready, IT seems that he leaned upon the
lever until all the air had escaped from the bel
lows, and when he relieved it OF the weight the
bellows filled with the gas from the forge Instead
OF drawing air through the valve underneath.
In an instant the gas was ignited by the fire i'm
the forge, and terrific explosion occurred,
which sounded like the explosion OF q cannon.
The bellows was tern to pieces. Several iron
missiles lying In the concern were hurled to the
roof Of the building, and a large hammer was
sent whirling close to Mr.. Veith's head. Fortu.
nately no serioas damage was done except to
the nerves of Mr.. Veith, who was very badly
frightened,
