The Sale of Post Traderships.
The War Expenditures committee to-day ex-
amined John Fletcher of Indianapolis, but for
me,lv of Kansas, who testified that in 1871 he
made application for the post leadership at Fort
Dodge, being endorsed by Hon. Sidney Clark.
He went to Secretary Belknap and asked for the
place, when the Secretary told him it had been
promised to another person. From converse
ton he had with Mr.. Reynolds, of the firm OF
Lee x Reynolds, he got the impression that it was
necessary to pay money to procure an appoint
ment.
Witness asked Reynolds whether the report
was true that he had paid $4,000 to procure
his appointment. Reynolds replied that it cost
his interview with Secretary Belknap the latter
did not intimate in any way that money could
secure the appointment.
Lieut.. Col. McCook testified among other things
that he had heretofore stated his belief that it
could be proved that post traderships had been
Sold He did not know that such sales could be
traced to the Secretary of War, but believed that
he or some middleman had been selling them.
This was matter of common conversation at the
western posts, and he stated several circumstan-
ces which led to this belief In response to a
question, the witness said that his conviction was
the appointment of post traders.

Marsh appeared before the Judiciary sub-com-
mittee, this morning, in secret session. He was

tions with Secretary Belknap. He replied that
he had not. That he believed he had made full
and candid confession Of all the facts and con-
cealed nothing.
lie was then then asked why he fled. He re-
Piled that what he saw in the papers of the day
succeeding that ON which he had given his testi-
mony, induced him to flee for safety. This com
pleted Marshs testimony, and the question whether
additional testimony shall be taken on other
charges against Belknap, before proceeding with
the impeachment, will be discussed tomorrow by
the full Judiciary committee.
