marked to the President, in the hear
ing OF the witness, that in traversing
the Indian country, he had come across
the finest pair of Indian ponies which
he had ever laid eyes upon, and, if the
gift would be acce ptable, he would like
to make present of them to the Presi-
dents boys. Thereupon, without any
hens Or haws, the President accepted
the gift, and at once sent a telegram to
the Commandant of the Post where
the ponies then were, ordering them to
be Immediately forwarded at his Grant's)

6" LET no CLTY NAN ESCAPE"
THE SAFE BURGLARY BUSINESS TO BE s1FTED.
The confession Of Nettleship one Of
the safe burglary conspirators, is likely
to lead to tie indictment ofseveral pro-
minent members of the District ring.
This confession has, thus far, been
carefully guarded by District Attorney
Wells, who admitted, in his testimony
given to the Judiciary Committee of the
House, on Saturday that he had prom
Used Nettleship immunity from prose-
cution in return for his testimony.
Those most familiar with this case be-
lieve that, if the whole truth is discov-
ed it will i'nplicate two or three men
who were, at the time of the burglary,
public officers; besides other who We're
interested in the District investigation.
If Harrington is shown to have been
one of the conspirators, as he probably
was, it is believed that he will prove to
have simply been an agent, and not
one of the principals. The committee
are conducting the investigation in Sc
cret, and, il this way, hope to get to
the bottom facts. A large number Of
witnesses have been summoned to ap-
pear before them this week, including
several persons in New York, Newark
and Boston, Mr.. Proctor Knott, the
chairman Of the committee, says that
this investigation will be deeper than
the last, and that he is determined to
"let no guilty man escape"
