nothing to speak of. The investiga-
tions take up all the time of the ex-
confederates, so that they have not
even time to make secession and State
rights speeches. They have not found
another bonanza like Belknap, and
are very much annoyed that Pendle.
ton fell with Belknap. An inquiry
into the cost Of the investigation,
showing that not less than s500,000
will be expended in paying for inves.
LEGATIONS, has rather startled the pub
lie. Tuesday the committee asked for
100000 to pay expenses already in:
Cured. They limited themselves to
this amount intending to make anoth-
er application soon. Every witness
will cost at least $500, and the other
expenses, added to that of the 1000
witnesses will make up a heavy bill.
Marsh is here and has been before the
judiciary committee. The impesch.
ment and indictment of Belknap will
be carried on simultaneously. Presi.
dent Grant sent pardon to Marsh
and bis wife to get them to return.
1t is not thought here that the demo-
Gratis were anxious to have them
back. They would have preferred to
have gone into the campaign charging
that the republicans drove off the
witness to protect Belknap; but this
game has been blocked.
MAXWELL.
