In the District of Columbia Investigation
this morning Geo. r. Chittenden, of
Chicago, read a statement with reference to
his connection with ID. Z. GOlyer and Nc
Lellln for laying one hundred thousand
wards of wood pavement in this city. He
denied that any money was used bv him for
corrupt purposes He was questioned
sharply in relation to the distribution ofthe
$4,000 paid him by d. +. Golyer rnd Nc
Clellan. He said he gave $4,000 TO Mr..
Parsons and $1,000 10 Calville Brown, and
that one Col. Kirkland purchased notes
amounting 10 81, 900. He said he did n0l
know the influence of Brown or Kirkland;
that he paidthem the money without know
ing whether they used any influence at all,
on their own uncorrobOrated statement that
their influence had secured the contract.
Afternoon Investigation.
Chittenden was recalled and testified as
follows:

Clellan 10 give 80 cents per square yard for

land being entirely conditional. l agreed

from the Mississippi Valley to tide watera at

taken considerable testimony upon the

records up to the Statehouse. Gov. Bax-

gentlemen declined to pass through Brooks
guard into the Statehouse, where the
County Clerks Office is located, to attend
the court. The Judge then moved to the
criminal Court room, just opposite, but
the counsel did not attend at that place.
Judge Whytock then oYerruled the motion

correct the record, so as to show that the
demurrer was submitted without the

ANENr the approaching marriage of
Miss Grant and Miss Stewart, the
latter the daughter of the wealthy
Senator from Nevada-Miss Grant
is, one would naturally suppose,
in most enviable position, the highest
which any unmarried lady in America
can hold, and has youth, health and
good spirits wherewith to enjoy her
blessings. Miss Stewards position is
scarcely less enviable. She is Just
eighteen, very pretty, has had the advan-
tages of a European education, and is
surrounded in her new home. just COM
pleted, with all the comforts and elegan-
cles of life. 1t might fairly be supposed
that these two young girls would wish to
enjoy the pleasures life so freely offers
them before assuming its responsibilities,
but it seems they think otherwise. There
are to be several weddings after Lent,
the first probably that of Miss Violet
Blair and Janln, on the 18th of April.
That OF Miss Grant and Sartoris is ex-
pected to occur before the Goth of May.
The day for Hooker, of the United States
Navy, to claim the prize he has won is
not yet reported, but he probably will
not wait very long. Miss Stewart has
been in good sooth one of the most ad-
mired bellies of Washington since she
made her debut little more than year
ago, and is moreover a girl of strong
practical common sense, who is more
useful in her home than society bellies
are popularly supposed to be. Another
belle of the season just passed, whose
praises more than one correspondent has
written of-Miss Early, OF Virginia-is
to resign belehood on the Sd of June,
and allow Lieutenant Manly, of the
army, to place her among the ranks Of
the married ladies who take back seats
IN the German. Sartoris is to sail for
Europe with his bride Immediately after
their marriage, and they will arrive in
time to enjoy the London season. New
