to the Secretary, 81 understand that you

Caulneld Reptile. to Bri.tow.

WAsHINGTaN, April 2O.-Representa.
tive Caulfleld, chairman Of the Commit
tee on Expenditures in the Department
OF Justice, has addressed the following
letter to Secretary Bristow.
DEAR SIR-Yours Of yesterday the
18th inst, was received at our committee
rooms nearly simultaneously with its pub.
lication in the evening papers. In reply
am directed by the committee to say
that the article enclosed from the Balti-
more Gazette, as well as one OF previous
day in Philadelpbia paper, was en-
tirely without the knowledge or author
lty of the committee. In reference 10
your criticism upon what you are pleased
to term the "methcd of your committee"
l reply that our committee claim the
right to conduct the business with which
it is entrusted, as it believes best The
interest of the public demands always
due regard to the rights of every indi-
vidual, and this committee will believe
that your criticism of this action was
rather the result of undue excite
ment on your part than Of any
just grounds of censure of their testi.
mony. Judge BARLEY made no charge
against you, but it was simply hearsay as
to what he claimed had been told by s.
T. Suit. 1t contained nothing upon
which cross examination by you seemed
to be demanded. We felt there was no
necessity of apprising you o. it till We
could procure the attendance Of Mr.. Suit,
and ascertain from him, under oath, the
exact facts of the case. An Of
ficer was dispatched for MIR.
Suit, who could not be found
at his place of business in Washington.
AS he lived some few miles in Maryland,
his attendance was not procured till last
Monday. He testified before the COM
mittee in most earnest and emphatic
manner. utterly denying the truth OF
any charge implied i'll Judge Bar:ley's
testimony, as having been made by him
against you. AS a matter of course
there was nothining further for US to in.
vestigate as tar as you were concerned,
and we felt that 10 charge had been
made and none proven against you. 1t
was, however, agreed that one of the
committee should communicate TO you
what had passed. A gentleman Of the
committee, accordingly, ca..si on you the
next morning Tuesday and apprised
you of the foregoing circumstances.
You informed him that you had already
heard that these two witnesses
had been before the committee. Under
these circumstances the subsequent publ
cation of the article you enclose from the
Baltimore Gazette, can hardly warrant
you in saying: 81 must promptly iLeet
the slander as l find it in the public
prints, even at the risk of appearing to
reflect upon the methods Of your CONF
mittee"
AS to the further Investigation
which you demand, the committee
will willingly accord it yeu if you still
desire, but we consider it unnecessary, as
there Is no charge made or proven
against you and you stand before us with
the fullest exoneration of even a
Suspicion. l remain, very respectfully,
yours, b. j. CAULFIELD.

From Mexico.

NEW ORLEANS, April 20.-A special
from Brownsville to the Galveston Nesos
says that Diaz is busily organizing his
farces in Matamoras. His partisans say il is
preparatory to the march on Monterey,
but from the fact that he is remaining
the forts around Matamoras, it is doubt.
full about his advance. There is nothing
new in the situation, therefore, at Mata.
moras. A few boxes Of arms crossed the
river few days ago for private parties
at Matamoras, but the collector at this
point gave orders that no more should
be crossed over while the city is in the
haIds Of the Revolutionists, without di-
rect authority from the Secretary of the
Treasury. Te.egrsms have been
received here ordering General
Pstt.er, the present commander on this
line, to duty in Kentucky, and it is report
ed he will be relieved by Gen. Devin.
Gen. Labarra is still here with his family
awaiting the approach of the Mexican
forces. He seems confident that Mata-
moras will soon be IN the hands of the
Government forces All the Mexican
officers here assert that Matsmoras was
only lost through the treachery of Gen.
Toledo.
