Mountains. Mr. Colfax then repeaeeu
that il was fortunate there were nVtng
witnesses to this besides himself, for on
a thorough examination of the accounts
and papers of Nesbitt made by his ex-
ecutor at Colfax's request, Nesbltt nav
ing died the next year, no trace OF 1t Is
there to be found. Nesbltt had carried
out exactly what he wrote that u was
intended to be confidential, unknown
even to his family.
During the last eight or ten years MS
(Colfax'e) letters have been so numerous
that it had been his habit to destroy nine
tenths of them. Those not destroyed ne
usually kept in their envelopes until they
crowded his tables and drawers, then
they were tied up and slowed away, not,
however, in chronological order. lie
had gone three times over all the letters
he had preserved and had not found the
Nesbitt letter or any political letters tor
June 1868. The acknowledgment OF the
81, 900 sent to Indiana cannot be found,
though, fortunately, tne bank was able
to find the draft itself. The letters ac-
companying the three checks deposited
on the 22d of June had also been destroy
ed. so he was unable to produce any one
of the five letters relating to the trans
actions of that day. The statement had
been circulated that he deposited $45,-
600 in the bank in one year. This is er-
rOneous. 1t was the footings up of his
debts and credits, and represented the
accounts of three years. Mr.. COlfaX
then gave the principal items of the ac-
count.
In answer to a question of Poland,
Colfax testified he thought he had re-
ceived the 81 900 the day after he re-
ceived the money from Mr.. Mathews.
If he had received the ST, 900 from Mes
bitt and the 81, 200 from Ames also, he
would have deposited both amounts.
Mr. G. w Matthews was sworn and
corrOborated the statement of COlfaX
concerning the payment of the 5000 to
COlfax, and the witness and Mrs. HOll-
lister corroborated the statement in rela-
latiOn to the letter and monies from
Nesbitt. Ames was recalled and testified
he had no knowledge of any money
being paid to secure the election of Sen
atOr Carpenter.
Judge Poland announced that the evil
dence was now closed, and if any more
evidence was discovered the committee
would hear it. Adjourned.
A CORROBORATIvE LETTER.
After the adjournment of the Poland
committee, Tuesday night, President
Colfax received the following dispatch
from his married sister in Iowa
KELLOGG, Iowa, Feb. II.
Mother wrote me in the summer of
1868 of your receiving a one thousand
dollar bill. She mentioned it among other
things as showing how much you were
appreciated. am searching for the let
ter and will send it if found.

of the captains revolver, soon filled it,
and were rowed away to tug which
was coming to the rescue. Just as the
tug was reached, Biddis, by the CLEAN of
the last rocket in the sky, saw the head
of the Northfleet sink slowly under the
water The crowded stern rose up in
the air and then, with a loud rushing
noise, disappeared under, leaving 400
people struggling in the waves.
Mrs. Sturgeon was rescued with her
child, six months old. She was in bed
when the collision took place, and with
her husband and baby reached the deck
in time to get into the life-boat. Her
husband threw her child after her and it
was caught She says the captain wife
wanted to stay on deck and go down
with him, but this he would not permit.
One of the surviving sailors says that
Mrs. Knowles twas pretty little thing,
quite girl in her ways" She had gone
to bed, but when the crash came she ran
on deck to her husband, who put his
arms around her waist and, calling out
to the boatswain, said CHOSEN, I'm go
ing to do my work right through up
here, but just look after my wife and
see her safe into boat" The boatswain
did so, and just as the boat pushed off
the captain waved his hand and said
''Good-by, my dear, good-by," and to
this the wife replied ''Good-by, my love,
| don't expect to see you any more. !"
John Brown, a laborer, saw father and
two sons struggling in the water; the
father was an old man; the elder son
said family, "Let me kiss you father for
my last, for we shall all be drowned !"
both sons kissed the old man and all
went down When Brown himself was
swimming away he was pulled down by
a woman who wanted him to take her
and her child on his back. 1t was i'm
possible, and both were drowned. A
passenger says that only four of the
ninety women on board got into the
boats, the majority acting as if they
were crazy. Men pushed them aside
and made for the boats; the bOatswain
cursed and swore at them, and fought
them, but tono use. The captain pulled
out his pistol and said, "Get back if you
are men, and let the women pass. By
God, I'll shoot the next man that gets
into the boat" and though he used his
weapon, it was to no purpose. All the
accounts agree as touching the admira-
bic conduct of the captain and the Off
GERS generally. 1t seems certain also
that the steamer which stove in the
Northtleet, and for the discovery of
which a large reward has been offered,
might have saved the passengers. She
merely reversed her wheels and disap-
peared in the darkness.
