Committee and that the .mount revived for
ordn.nce storea. $40. $50. for tlse fiscal wear
ending June 20. 1871. was regularly paid
into the Treasury. and thew discover nothing
In these transactions which reflects
dishouor either on the Government or apv
officer connected Herewith, and all the sales
were made With results favorable to the Gov
ernme,. and nhere was nothing in the con-
duct @. lie g 1ary or his subordinates de-
serving censurg n this respect. The COM
mittee lind the sales of arms and military
stores we're mot made under such circum-
stances a. to violate the obligations of our
Government a. q neutral power. There is
mot the slightest foundation for suspicion
that any officer OF the Government or War
Department derived any advantage from
these sales. The committee feel bound to ex-
hooora!e Gen. Rufus Iugalls from any i'm
proper connection with these transactions;
neither do they find anything impeachins
the business integrity Of Mr.. Remington.
The committee say that the testimony shows
that the Marquis de Chambrun is the source
Of all the aspersions thrown on our Govern
ment and the suspicious cast upon its Off
cials. 1t is difficult to ascertain precisely the
purpose for which he desired this investiga-
ticn, but 1t 10 certain he labored constantly
and SUCCESSFULLY to bring it about. At times
he seemed to be intriguing in the interest Of
the French Government, and at others acting
IS agent of his relative. Victor Place, lately
Consul General of France ut New York.
Had Seniors Sumner and Schurz applied
10 the War Department Treasury they would
have ascer,ained that there was no fraud. and
no violation of the laws of the nation in
this case, but in that case Chambrun would
have failed in the effort to use the Senate
a the instrument to yindicate his friend
and throw suspicion on the executive de-
psrtment of the Government. Tbi. in
ves,iestion was moved by a statement that
a certain resolution had been adop,ed in
France. The second time it was moved on
a misapprehension Of the state Of the &C.
counts between the two executive DEPART
ments of our government, and third, totally
upop unfounded suspicion as to the conduct
