the employment. I paid him $4,000, the
price he asked, Which was not only to pay
him for whatever services he might render,
but also for his reluctance. He was not to
render any particular service. He at one
time asked for canvass of the list of the
House as it stood on the measure. After
looking at it he handed 1t back to me, and
said, 81 don't know--that / can do any

to employ him. What StockWell thought

frequently brought him lists OF the House,

vote, until they (tbe lists) had the appear

tional poison combined. Mr.. Carmack, who
was employed, bored him to death, and wit
ness employed him to keep away. He was
friend of StockwelPs, and Stockwell told
him (Witness) to employ him.
EX-GOVERNOR RANDALL,

by Stockwell because he was the friend of
one Of the most ignorant boards OF direct
ors which ever assembled in New York, and
at the suggestion of Henry Clews.

however, good talker. Burrit and Ward
were EN- loyed by Stockwell; have hereto
fore stated their services. Ayerill was en-
ployed by Stockwell on recommendation Of
Rufus Hatch he has stated to the committee
bis services. Chittenden did the same work
in the Senate as Averill did in the House,
and rendered no services which were not
strictly honorable.
THE TWO DooRKEEPERS
were employed because the fate OF bill
often depends upon letting its friends know
when it is up-in the House, and getting
them into vote. On the 10Th of March the
bill was defeated by bringing in two gentle
men opposed to the bill who were out on the
porticO, which gave five votes against it.
Members know full we'll how doorkeepers
can be used and made valuable.
NORRIS AND WHITING.
Morris was employed for what have here,
tofore stated.
Whiting first asked me to give him $780,
900 for his services. In second Interview
we settled on 5000, and he paid ME back
$50, 900.
PIE HERALD" AND "PATRIoT."
Since testified last I have seen the editor
of the Sunday Herald and the treasurer OF
the late Patriot Association; / sent to the
Sunday Herald 300, but, according TO Cap
tain Burrit's statement to me, it didn't con-
meet I paid the Patriot for advertising-the
amount did not exceed 5000; the paper con-
tinually opposed the passage of the bill.
