1t is noticeable that the largest amount
on this list were paid to Z. {. Billings,
who managed Governor kcllogg's 5 case
in Washington, To United States Mar
shall Packard, and for the maintenance
of the little gunboat Ozark, which
Kellogg has used for transporting his
Metropolitan police from New Orleans
to points on the river, and for other
more or less warlike purposes. The
smallest amount was II charitable oh
ject, the relief of the suffering people
of Lafourchc.
The West, whose name appears with
that of Packard on the same check
April 30, but for a larger amount, is
one of the Louisiana Senators. There
are two stubs on which the memoran-
dums are made in shost hand. No
letters besides those given in the Tri-
bune have been given to the public
The holders of the captured cOrreSpon-
dencc say that they do not expect to
prove beyond doubt that Senator Car
penter, General Butler, or anybody
else was bribcd, but claim that the let
ters and check books show that mem
hers of Congress, including those
names, asked for and received large
sums of money from Coy ycrnor kel-
logg, while his case against McEnery
and the people of Louisiana was pend
ing in Congress, and upon which they
were to pass an opinion as Representa-
tives. They claim also that the ami
mus of the gentlemen involved against
their cause must, in view of these rev
Citations, be partly accounted for 10y
the pecuniary relation with the chiei
officer OF Il usurpation.

excuse themselves ON the plea that IL, y
were counsel, but it Is claimed thai
this does not alter the case, ever

Among the captured letters was
