The testimony yesterday ini the
case of B. I'll. Cbeevar against
Henry Clews G. Co, developed
some points that the House of
Representatives will probably find
it necessary to investigate. This
testimony relates to the reasons
and influences which procured the
appointment in 1869 of Henry
Clews q Co. as financial agent
or banker of the United States
Government in Europe. This ape
pointmens, as the public viii re-
member, caused astonishment at
the time, and it now appears BY
this evidence that preliminary to
it was an agreement by which
Henry Clews & 20. agreed to pay
Louis Dent, the brother-in-law Of
the President, one-eighth of the
profits to be derived from the APP
pointment; and CHS one-eighth
they guaranteed to Dent should
not be less than $4,000 year.
Thus, if the testimony is true, we
have the brother-in-law of the
President, and the constant init
mate Of the White House, engaged |
in the business of selling at a high |
price one of the lucrative appoint. |
ments in the gift OF the Govern
ment, and an appointment, too, |
which not only seemed to an intel
igent people 40 improper one TO
be made, but which finally resulted
70 a heavy pecuniary loss to the
Treasury. aHmh asH.-a H.
The question is whether Grant
shared in this $4,000 year :; and
besides, it should not be forgotten
hat this WIS not the only instance
n which Deaf took money tor an I
appointment to be made by his
orother-in-law, tho President. -

Of forty masked men rode into the
town in the night, broke open the
jail, overpowed and chained the
