MR.. CoLFAx NOW SAYS THERE WERE FOUR
CHECKS.

GENERAL PRESS DISPATCH
Mr.. Colfax has no hesitation in saying that he did
receive from Mr.. Nesbitt in each Of the months of
April. June, July and October in that year a remit
tance Of S1,OOO making $4,000 III all. the April and
July remittances having been in checks
These remittances were made partly on personal
and partly on political grounds. The letters accom-
panyng two Of them are in existence. Those cover
ing the other two cannot now be found. Mr. COlfax
in his testimony, made reference 20 any of the
remrtances except that of June for the sole reason
that that remittance only had any reference to OF
connection with the subject of the investigation
before the Committee, aud his counsel, with full
knowledge Of the facts, and to whom the whole
responsibility in this regard belong, advised him
that he could not properly open the subject of the
remittance without bringing in extraneous and i'm
portant matter before the Committee and departing
from the point of issue. The friends of Mr. COlfax
who have seen the correspondence confidently an
sert that when published il will fully yindicate him
from all aspersion affecting hs motives or iis acts.

Democrats and was especially remarked by kepup-
Gcans There was not 30 much discussion OF lts
merits on the Republican side of the HOUSE, now
ever. AZ among the Democrats. BY some members II
was WARMLY praised as udicially fair in ITS findings
and convincing IN its arguments OlheIs cli'ioiSou
II for its leniency toward Messrs. Kelley Uarneiu'
and the other Republicans. The absence OF any rel
erence 10 the statements of those gentlemen before
the Committee was especially remarked
The Committee apparently regarded their state
,epts rs those of accused persons are regarded IN
court rs not worthy of belief OF of being allowed
any weight AZ evidence. They gave full credence to
Mr. Ames and his memoranda, aud in the findings of
facts concerning his transactions with the various
members they report TO be true that which the
members themselves swore not true.
BY implication every member who contradicted
Mr. Amess statements is therefore charged by the
report with asehoOd yet notice is taken OF tins
oflense which would seem to be a much grayer one
than that of taking Credit Mobilier stock. few
Republicans referring TO this agreed that some eX-
preston Of censure should have been included IN
the report upon the members who did not tell the
truth when put on their Oaths by the Committee.
Most of the Republicans, however were reucent ana
disinclined to talk upon the subject.
There will be a lively time when the matter comes
M next Tuesday. II is understood that Mr. Butler
will conduct MIR. Amess defense. He has liking
for that sort of business Two years ago he defended
Wmttemore of South Carolina, who was expelled
for selling a cadetship. Mr. Brooks will defend him
self and Mr. Poland Will defend the action OF the
