tfIat Col0Bei BuTch was interested in
the matter, - ne was q member OF
the printing firm. The next thing that
occurred between us was that on the day
| resigned Colonel Burch came into my
Office and presented me with his COM
mission as my successor. ] had no COM
municstion whatever, in any, way, or
by any means or agencies that knew of
with Colonel Burch about re signing my
office, or who would be ray successor,
II Colonel Burch knew, or had any in
formation, that ] was going to resign
the office, or that was to receive any
money upon my resignation, have no
knowledge or information of it. As to
Major J. S. Wilkes, the governors pri-
vate secretary, ! f0uId him to be one of
the most courteous aud Obligiug gentle
men l ever met with. III was very IA
miIiar with all issues and series of State
bonds, and with all the duties Of the
cOmptroller's Office, and, in fact, with
the archives Of the State generally. He
rendered me his services and assistance
in all matters in which might not
know how TO act, or be in any manner
embarrassed about the business of the
office, and frequently had occasion to
call on him for Rdvice about the business
of the Office, when BE always promptly
and courteously served me.
Captain Hobbs says that Sergeant-at-
Arms Carter came to his house Sunday,
and did not serve the summons, as it
was Sunday. He told Carter he would
be here Wednesday or Thursday, as he
was busy preparing his statement, and
had to come here to attend to the Wo-
mack lawsuit. Carter returned to the
house OF representatives, which issued
an order for his arrest under a wrong
idea, as he (Hobbs) had no desire to
evade the committee. Carter did not
pretend to serve the summons, as it was
Sunday when he was at his house.
WHAT MR.. HOUSE SAYS.
Mr.. House was before the committee
yesterday, and Mr.. Hobbs is of opinion
that his testimony conceded with the
statement above given. 1t is limited
that House expended the three thousand
dollars in procuring votes in the election
or for other purposes. Hence the ap-
pointment of another Investigating
committee to examine into the
charge OF bribery and corruption Of
members of the last legislature.
Sworn statements of corruption have
been filed against eight members of that
legislature, so reported. The investi-
eating committee have in their posses
sion a letter, or some kind Of manu-
script, alleged to have been written by
Sam Taylor, bOOkkeeper of the State
national bank at Memphis, relative to
the comptrollership sale. Witnesses
were to-day examined as to the identity
of his handwriting in the document.
The investigation has aroused great ex-
element and overshadOws the senatOri-
al question.

The siutry winds were icy,
The wiDIry woods were drear,
As the Father TO DE Rouvilps camp
With ms IrOquois drew near.
They marched upon the morrow,
still south ward bearing down;
Now heaven watch DER those that sleep
Without fear in Deerfield town!
Twas on a clustering midnight
That near the town they drew,
And through the snowy branches heard
The itiul winds that blew.
Within the wood they halted;
De EOuville babe his men
Await the pine trees murmur-
And rush right onward then.
The steps OF the sssailsnts
The night wind thus did drown,
And he French and Iudians silently
In cOmpasSed Deerfield town!

Gslimnlercd atwart the dawn,
Then said the priest to his iroquOis,

The oxen stout and slow,

Like Roman Triumphator,
HIS forehead wreathed with green;
Behind, in long procession,
Sinewv, 1.-the and brown,
Were the lroQuOis who had won the Bell
Away from Deerfield town.
So TO 1t. Regis village,
BY the Great Rivers flow,
They brought the Bell one hundred
And seventy years ago.
And still at eve, when the steamers
Swim down the dusky reach,
A silver spire the traveller sees
Sparkle upon the beach.
Across the reudening waters,
Above the rivers roar,
He hears the chime OF the Angelus
Float froui st. Regis shore:
And he knows not, as its last faint notes
The rushing Rapids drown,
How the Bell was brought from Paris
By the way of Deerheld town.

When the Jesuit led the Indians back
To the shores of Lake ChamPiaini
And with them two stout oxen
To bear the Bell were taen.

Meanwhile no work was done:

The fish leaped in the sun.

So the pious hunters scattered
Through the forests here and there

To shoot the deer and bear.

And cured and baled full well,
And shipped 10 distant Paris
To buy -. Regis Bell.
