The French Arms Investigation.

i LIZ xAOAOA IA AAo AAVO0eA60tAOhs
Washington, 20. In the Senate Arms In
vestigation to-day Marquis Chambrun was
examined at length by several members Of
the committee, and in the course of his tes-
timony said that Mr.. Sumner read the French
papers and therefore had information outside
of that which the witness furnished him. He
repeated that he never asked Mr.. Sumner to
introduce his resolution of inquiry. The
Marquis had three or four interviews with
the secretary of war. The first was as to the
list of arms, &C., and the second relative to
the letter Of Remington to License, the par
ticulars of which the witness stated yesterday,
and repeating now that the secretary of war
on the goth of January read to him aloud be-
fore other gentlemen his letter to the secre-
tary of State in response to Remington S
allegations.
Mr.. Harlan asked numerous questions in
order to test the witness memory.
Mr. Ames asked the Marquis what he
meant yesterday by saying that he did not
like to see the conviction of M. Place pre-
pared in Washington previous to his trial in
France?
The Marquis replied that he meant the en-
dorsement of Remington by the secretary of
war; Senator Conkling, Gen. Spinner and
others, which in the trial made Remington
appear in new dress In answer to question
whether the endorsements were used ON trial,
the Marquis answered that he SO understood,
but would occupy too much time to state in
what manner.
Mr.. Hamlin asked the Marquis whether he
knew of any government officer who had i'm
properly received dollar or cent in the
sale of arms?
The Marquis replied not of his own knowl-
edge.
MIR. Hamlin asked whether he had any
such suspicion?
The Marquis replied that he had told the
cammittee all he knew. What was called
the "Ring" always controlled matters outside
rather than in, and he had not taken trouble
to wade in mire and mud to fnd cut He
was further Intercepted on the point but
nothing definite was ELECTED.
The committee adjourned until Monday.

Call for the Liberal Republi.
can Convention,
New YoRR. 90

New YORK, 30.
The Tribune tomorrow will publish the
following ''call for the liberal convention !"
To Col. VIM. NJ Grosvenor chairman of the
executive committee of the liberal republican
convention Of Missouri.
Washington, d. c. SIR We, republic
cans of New York, wish to express our con-
currence in the principles lately set forth by
the liberal republicans of Missouri. We
make the departure from the ordinary meth
DDS Of party action from deep conviction
that the organization to which we belong is
under the control of those who will il chiefly
for personal purposes, and to obstruct free
expression OF opinion upon important matters
which the gentlemen whom you represent
have laid before the people of the United
States. We believe the time has come when
political offence of the past should be par
doned, that all citizens should be protected in
the rights guaranteed them by the constitu-
ton, that federal taxation should be imposed
tor revenue, and so adjusted as to make the
burden upon the industry Of the country as
hight as possible; that a reform in civil ser
vice should be made which will relieve Do
litical action from the influence of official
patronage; that the right of local self gov
eminent, the foundation OF American free
dom, should be reasserted and encroachments
of federal power checked; and we also be-
lieve that at this time special duty rests
upon the people to do away with corruption
in Office. The exposures recently made in
this State have brought to light evils which
are not confined to one party nor to a single
locality, and disclose dangers more formida-
BILE than any which the republic has yet en-
countered With the hope that the move
menfbegun in Missouri may spread through
all the States and influence every political
party, we accept the invitation to meet the
National Mass Convention at the city of
Cincinnati, on the first Wednesday in May
next, and we invite all the republicans of
New York, who agree with US, to CO. operate
in our actions. (Signed,)

A large number of gentlemen interested il

A large number of gentlemen interested in
the purchase and sale of horses, have been
in the city lately, and there is now consider
able "horse talk" and consequent excitement
as regards prices, speed and blood. This
city is made sort Of headquarters for these
horse fanciers, who perambulate the country,
buying up all the likely colts they can find.
This is well enough, as it puts money into
the pockets of farmers and encourages them
in raising first class horses, and making it
pleasant and lucrative business. In the mat
ter Of blood-which always ''tells"-the
Knox is in most demand: indeed this has
been the favorite breed in Kennebec county
for many years.
