Investigating Senator Spencer.

The Senate Committee on Privileges and
Elections to-day began the Investigation of
the charges brought against Mr.. George +.
Spencer to the effect that he secured his
election to the u. 8. Senate by corrupt
means. Senator Spencer was present with
his counsel, Hon. Matt. Carpenter, assisted
Mr.. Char les f. Mayer, chairman OF one OF
hama. General John T. Morgan appeared
for the memorialists of the Alabama legisla-
ttre. There were also present several other

were correct, and in every case where the
printed answer contained an intimation of
corruption the witness emphatically denied

witness was asked If he did not hear Jerome
j. Kinds say that a certain state senator in
Alabama had been fixed" Mr. Carpenter
counsel for Mr.. Spencer, objected To this
question. The prosecution must first estab-
lish connection or conspiracy between
Spencer and Kinds before such a question
would be admissible. Gen. Morgan said ne
proposed TO show the existence of such a con-
spiracy later on The committee held short
secret conference on this point, and on the
door being opened the chairman announced
that the objection OF Mr. Spencer's counsel
had been sustained, aEd that the fact OF a
conspiracy between Kinds and Spencer must
be established before the question could be
asked.

Col Grafton and Gen. Kiddoo.

Col. Grafton thinks the published con
densed reports of his testimony and Gen.
KiddOos do not do him exact justice in some
particulars, and furnishes the following
statement:
~ did not testify that l told Boynton
that Clymer and Marsh ct al. Travelled to-
gether in Europe. Kiddoo and l agree on
this point.
2 did rot testify that Kiddoo told me
that he had told Mr.. Clymer 10 summon
Mrs Marsh. What / did say, was that KID
doc told me that lie told Mr.. Clymer about
the interview between Mrs. BelkDap aud
Mrs. Marsh. So there is no conflict between
kiddOO and my self on this point.
5. l did not say that Kiddoo told me that
the committee were indis posed 10 investi-
gate the PendetOn matter. l testified that
he said the chairman showed al apathy To
going into IL. KiddOO puts IL stronger in his
testimony. So there is no conflict between
us.
4. did not testify that Kiddoo told me
that he had spoken To any other member %
the committee than Mr.. Clymer. No con-
hict between us on this point
.. did not say 10 kiCdoo that was very
much grleved on reading my testimony, aud
admitted there were some miss Ia ements, nor
did kldCoO testify 10 any thing OF the EiHd.
/ told hlddOO yesterday morning that there
were some mistakes in the report OF my teS-
timony as Ii appeared in the papers. No con
fict between us on this.
did not fix the day positively on which
matter. Said l thought il was the day the
first article appeared In Baltimore paper
about the BelKnap matter.
kiddCO testified that had misunderstood
him In some minor details, but there is no
conflict between us on the main points"

CAPE DIAMONDS Since March. lS6. wher
the hrst diamond was found at the cape, IL -
estimated that diamonds TO a value OF twelve
million pounds sterling have been brought
away from there. AS stated by Professor
remnant, OF London, about ten per cent. OF
the Cape diamonds may be classified as Of
the hrst quality, fifteen per cent. of the sec
ond. and twenty OF the third. The remain
der, under the name Of bort, is employed for
cutting diamonds and for the various
economic purposes by the lapidary, the en-
glneer for rock drilling, and so on. Many
diamonds containing specks and cavities
can tie manipulated by skilled workmen &C.
qualnted with the cleavage, who are able 70
remove these hlemishes. Some two hundred
years since, the work of cutting and polish
ing diamonds was principally done in Eng
land; since then 10 has been mostly carried
on In Holland, but the English stone-cutters
seem low likely 10 regain their early reputa-
tion. One stone from South Africa. describ-
ed by Professor Tenant, weight in its origi-
nal condition 112 carats; il has been cut into
brilliant weighing siNty-Six carats. and
this, IL is stated, exceeds In size and brillian-
