THE CONGRESSIONAL INQUEST.
The Investigating Committee have decided to
examine no more witnesses after tomorrow, and
will probably start on their return to Washington
the following day. The republican members have
faty refused to enter upon any investigation of
the events OF the Atm OF January, although 1t was
urged that much time had been FILTERED away on

would serve to bring out all the facts with regard
to the organization OF the Legislature and the &C.
ton OF the military.

Judge Marshall used all means in his power to
induce them to enter upon the subject, but with

best informed, and your correspondent has reason
to fully indorse the belief that this refusal was
inspired by fear that such an investigation
would reveal the TACT that General Sheridan and
not Emory was personally in command OF the
military upon the 4th OF January, and personally
issued the orders which elected the conservatives
from the Legislature. 1t Is charged that the acts
represented at Washington, and that a proper
investigation by Congress will substantiate this
charge.

Judge Marshall has not participated in the COM
promise movement. owing. he says, TO his not
having been consulted officially upon the subject
by the conservatives. He denies that the COM
mittee have had anything to do with the matter In
their ofcia capacity, and says It Is entirely an In
dividual proposition. Tomorrow he publishes q
card to that elect.
SHERIDAN's RETURN.
General Sheridan arrived to-day and reports
that Crosby the negro sheriff OF vicksburg, has
qualified as Sherin, but has not yet furnished Sc
