Mr.. Merrick. No, sir; there are great many

some two months now going on, or at least,
long time.
Mr.. Merrick. II is two months since the an.
pication TO Congress, hut it is not so long since
the commencement of the investigation.
Senator Stewart. It is very evident, If we 70
on with the investigation and the counsel con-
tiuue TO predicate charges upon the evidence as
It comes out, that the proposition of the CON-
mittee to INQUIRE into those matters, or their
very late day; and, consequently, it Is import
ant that counsel should get through, so that
the committee will be at liberty to proceed.
Mr. Merrick It is important, for very many
reasons, that we should get through. As
have already assured the committee, and do so
again, it is of the utmost importance to us, in
our individual character, to make this investi-
cation as rapid as practicable and bring it to a
close 1t rs early q moment as possible. No
man Is more anxious than am to do every
thing that lies IN my power to accomplish that
result. That is the only assurance l can give
the comiilittee ut present. Will advise the
crmmittee at the earliest moment, upon con-
ference, what further charges we shall pre-
sent and when we shall be able to present
them.
