Those Pacific Mail Subsidy Fellows.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 81.
Richard b. Irwin, being recalled and
asked if he would give the committee the
names of the persons employed by him in
Washington, said that, in view of recent
resolutions of the Pacific Mail steamship
company, and of other considerations, he
would now give the names and the
amounts paid. In regard to the amounts
the witness said that he might not be exact
ly accurate, but that he was nearly so.
The following is the list Charles Albert,
$1,000 o. j. Averill, $4,000; }. G.
Curritt, $4,000 L. II. Carnrick docs not
recollect, but thinks $4,000 or $4,000;
Amos B. Cormine. $1,000 L. Z. Chittcn-
den, $4,000; b. II. CEecver, $1,000 Ham,
ilton G. Fort, $1,000; John w. Forney,
$4,000 Samuel A. Hatch, about $780,
900 j. r. Ingham, $4,000 VIM. Moran,
don't recollecD Alex. w. Randall, &c.,
900; John II. Rice, $4,000; VIM. b.
Shaw, $4,000 Charles II. Sheriff., $500;
John G.. Schumacher, 5000, 900; A. III.
Whitney, 100000. Witness said that
the above list comprised the names
of all the persons employed by him
and that he knew of the employment
of only two other persons, namely, Will
liam S. King, to whom he paid 1925, 900,
and Richard S. Parsons, who was Stock
wells personal attorney. Witness paid
Parsons s 800 on St0ckwcl's account.
He gave Schumacher $275,000 in New
York, and sent him $4,000 more from
California. Kersey AMI Boyd, assistant
doorkcepers of the house. were not en-
ployed by HIM. The amounts paid to them
were gratuitics which witness had over
looked in his former statement. Witness,
at this point, asked to be excused till to-
morrow on account of suffering from i'll
health. The rquest was granted. Con-
gresham Schumacher was then called, but
upon his request, was excused until lrwln's
testimony shall have been completed. The
committee then ordered the room to be
clered, and went into secret session for
consultation. Previous to Twins ex-
animation Congressman Sypher came
before the committee and swore that he
never furnished any list whatever of mem
bcrs of congress TO Commodore Garrison
or any one else. He met Garrison acct
dentaly one day, and in answer to an in
quiry about the prospects of the Mexican
steamship bill, jotted down the names of
twenty or thirty southern members whom
he thought would vote for the bill. His re-
mark about blowing Jacksons head off was
purely jocular, and was 80 understood by
Mckay. The committee room was throng-
ed by newspaper men and others interest
ed in the testimony, and Twins appearance
and testimony created marked sensation.
William S. King was employed by Stock
well. lie was not employed by witness.
After the committee had remained in
private conversation some time the doors
were rc-opened, and John G. Schumacher
was recalled and questioned in regard to
checks and certificates of deposit bearing
his Endorsements and apparently paid TO
him. Witness lin reply swore that he had
no recollection of ever seeing those certif-
Gates of deposit, or of drawing money on
those checks. Schumacher also sworc that
he had no recollection of ever stating to
Irwin that he required $4,000 additional,
or that he ever received that sum. Wit
ness never kept business letters received by
him, and has no copies OF letters sent by
him. - Is
