THE EMMA MINE.
Lyon Under Cross Examination.

WASHINGTON, April 3.-The cross-examina-
ton of james E. Lyon was continued before
the committee on foreign affairs to-day. He
desired to make an explanation concerning his
testimony of Saturday. Instead of visiting
Salt Lake in the spring of 1870, it was about
the first of September or the last of August
subsequent to the preliminary examination be-
fore Judge Brady, which was in July 1870.
Therefore he did not know the value Of the
mine till he visited Salt Lake and saw the
working of the lode in which he previously
claimed an interest. The explanation made
his testimony perfectly consistent.
Mr.. Chittendep, counsel for Mr.. Schenck,
said that since Saturday they had commune
Gated with Salt Lake and received a telegram
10 reply. that Lyon arrived there the 22d of
May, 1870.
Mr.. Chittenden asked if this information was
correct.
Lyon answered that he had telegraphed to
the st. Nichals hotel as to the time he left
there to go to Salt Lake and was informed that
it was the 18th of August
MIR. Chittenden-Have you any recollection
that you arrived at Salt Lake at CT about the
22d of May, 1870.
Answer do not know.
Question-TheD you will not swear that you
were in Salt Lake as early as May, 1870?
Al think was there in the spring, but do
not know positively.
Lyon in the course of his cross examination
said he believed the Emma mine business was
fraud on the British public, but he took no
means to warn purchasers of the facts, as that
was not his business.
Odd you swear before this committee that
Park ever told you of his giving shares or any
thing else to General Schenck to induce him
to become officially associated with the Emma
Mine.
Al never stated that Park said to me that
he had given Schenck shares to become d.
rector. 1 do not think he used that language
to me.
Odd you at any time have conversation
with Park and if SO, when? You having test-
fed before New York court. that Stewart told
you an arrangement had been made. Your an
swer then was "No sir"
Al don't think had.
@ Do you repeat that answer now?
Al have no recollection of his telling me SC

General shermau,s Views.

New YORK, April 3.-In conversation yester-
day Gen. Sherman intimated a probability of
his headquarters being removed to Washington,
but said his family would still reside in st.
Louis He said that recent affairs tended some-
what to clear the atmosphere at Washington,
and continued with regard to Gen. Belknap and
others:
81 would simply say that think this fall is
mainly attributable to the fact that he wished
to assume duties and responsibilities for which
he was not qualified, and which properly be-
longed to others. Gen. Babcock's fall struck
home to the heart of the American people, in
asmuch as he is West Point man, and has
clouded the high repute in which graduates of
West Point are held, but we must expect in
every army to find some weak men, and Gen.
Babcock, like others who at times have bad 70
be dismissed from the service, proves the rule
by the exception, nothing more. Under the pres.
emit circumstances do not see what court of
inquiry could effect in Babcock's case. 1t would
only pronounce as to whether there We're
grounds for inquiry into given charges or not.
Such a court can only be held either by order
OF the President or on the demand of the ac-
cused, and as it has no power to punish, do
not see what it could do especially as Congress
has the matter in hand"
Relating to post traders, Gen. Sherman said;
There have undoubtedly been great abuses in
the appointment of post traders, or suffers, as
they used to be called. 1t is clear to me that
officers in command are the best judges of
the fitness of applicants, and the post trader
ought to be selected by board of officers, and
bis name simply submitted to the Secretary of
War for approval In case of an unfavorable
decision on the Secretary's part, let the board
go on selecting and submitting until an appli.
cant acceptable 10 both parties has been found"
Gen. Sherman also said the transfer Of the
Indian bureau would be beneficial to the IN
dams, and would be solution of long and
wearing difficulty. The Indian war cannot be
a long one, as they are not really strong.

Testimony of the Trader at Fort Law.
renee.
WASHINGTON, April 3.-The committee on
expenditure in the War Department today ex-
amined John S. Collins. The chairman gave
notice that the committee will only remain in
session during the morning hour because Of the
desire of the members to be present wnen the
articles of impeachment are presented for &C.
ton.
Mr. Collins is post-trader at Fort Lawrence,
Wyoming territory. BE was appointed
was many years a resident of Galena, ILL.,, and
his father and the President were formerly in
business together. He understood that in 1872
there was to be some change at the Laramie
post. He was living in Omaha and came to
Washington to get the post He got simply
letter Of introduction from Orville! Grant in
Chicago to Gen. Dent, who was an usher. at
since boyhood. Saw Dent and was kindly
treated by him. Saw the President, got let
ter of recommendation from the President to
the Secretary of War and said he wished the
President had ordered the appointment and re-
lieved him of some embarrassment, because
there were so many applicants for the post.
He waited to gee what the Secretary of War
proposed to do about it and in the meantime
the President went to Kentucky to see his ia
Their who was dying. Witness found he was
charged at the War Department with being
Democrat. He went to the President after bis
return and told him about it, and the Pres-
dent wrote saying such charge amounted to
Dothing, that he had known witness since in
fancy and had no warmer supporter than bis
father and family. Witness did not use any
other influence and has never paid dollar d.
rectly or indirectly either to get or hold posi-
ton.
