vile Grant tells his tale as follows:
Orville NJ. Grant testified before the
Committee on Expenditures OF the War
Department. He said that be never, at
any time, either orally or in writing had
any authority from Belknap in relation
to post traderships, and that be never
directly or indirectly exercised through
others the control Of such traderships.
He obtained post sutlership for man
appointed at Fort Stevens. He was lot
interested with any parties who obtained
appointments Of post trade-ships from
the Secretary of War. He said be WAS
| interested in contracts under the Indian
Department; that he obtained post on
| his own account from Commissioner
Smith. He made application for the
trading post at Fort Peck, and received q
letter from the President in reply which
was quite favorable. The President no.
at Fort Peck, Fort Belknap and Stand
ing Rock. and he applied for these
places in view OF the knowledge given
him by the President. These were
the only trading stations in which
witness had any interest. He was
half partner with james Leighton
in Standing Rock, though he never
put in anything. He was no. only
not to furnish capital, but was not re.
quired to go out to attend to any bust
ness. He had influence with the Presi
dent to manage such matters to some ex
tent, although he did not always find tn,
matter to be profitable. He procured
the office from the Commissioner of In
i dian Affairs, after seeing the Secretar,
of the Interior. Neither the Presiden
nor the Secretary Of the Interior had til,
slightest knowledge of his receivin,
money. Witness testified that he wa
now in the employ of Bosher & Co., a
Baltimore, as a solicitor, on a salary o
$500 per month. His solicitorship wa
connected not only with the Governmen
> but with private parties. He obtained
contract from General Meyers. of tn

). extent of $500 or $500. Adjourned.
