Special Dispatch to The Tribune
WASHINGTON, D. C., July 20.-The Glover
Committee to-day again refused to permit ex-
Sergcant-at-Arms Orlway to testify, notwith-
standing he has been here ten days waiting
The Committee even refused to indicate any
time when lie might be heard. The charges
against Ordway are utterly untenable. This is
not true, however, of some Of the charges pre-
sentcd to the Committee. Especially is it not
true US to Price n. B. Young, Democratic
member of the last House. H. turns up before
the Committee in q very unpleasant light. He
lived fast and associated with the Boss Shepherd
crowd here. Hc was after while discovered to
have been one OF the parties in the celebrated
rcal-estatc pool, in which he was put down for
a share Of 5000, or one-fftll. His explanation
of this was that he put the money in the hands
of his friend Huntington, who put it in the real
estate pool without his knowledge. The Com
mittec on the Real-Estate Pool has now discov-
cred the fact that Young got this money from
the Frccdman's Savings Bank. This Is only
another INSTANCE OF the systematic plundering
OF the poor freedmen in which the Cooke and
Shepherd gang indulgcd until the bank failed.
This cx-Congressman is all ex-rebel soldier, and
ssSoutl,crn gentleman, By gawd, sir" Of the
most pronounced type.
THE RAID ON RoBEsoN.
The debate in the House to-day on the report
Of the Naval Committee against Robeson could
not have been Teassuring to the Democrats
There has not becu day this session when so
many speeches Of marked ability have been
made. The astounding audacty Of the parti-
sanship of the Democrats Was laid bare, the
skulking mcanness Of the methods OF the party
demonstrated, and the fact made apparent that
to compass political ends a1na1ority Of thc-Na-
va1 Committee have violated their sense Of
honor. For four months the doors of the COM
mittce-room were closed, an injunction Of Sc
crccy Of the Spanish inquisitfon sort placed up
OIL the lips Of every committeeman, and upon
every person who entered the doors. Hundreds
of the country, without the privilege Of cross
examination, these witnesses all discharged, and
1000 printed pages of testimony taken bcfore
the doors we're opened. Then the testimony
was handed the Secretary Of the Navy, and he
was told he could answer it., These points were
very strongly presented in the debate, as well
other facts, from which it appears that
TESTIMONY HAD BEEN DELIBERATELY SUP
PRESSED
which tended to vindicate the reputation Of
many Of the Bureau officers who have grown
gray In the service, and whose reputation the
Democrats seek to ruin in one general condemna-
tion- These points were SO strongly set forth
that the Democrats WINGED under them, and
Admiral Whitthorn, driven to Il corner, said
that some Of them he would explain. Alto
presenting this report, in which they declared
that after seven months investigation they hage
no knowledge whether Robeson should be in-
pcached or not.
THE INDIAN BUREAU.
The action Of the Indian Committee yester-
day in rejecting the partisan report condemning
the administration OF Indian affairs is likely to
result in the adoption of q report which will
