II WAS somewhat cheeky though Char

burn, yesterday, after the straightforward
and manly statement Of General ingalls,
before the Committee on Expenditures in
the War Department, to ask that officer to
produce his bank accounts from 1872 to
1874. General 1ngals cheerfully agreed
to furnish them. But he had sworn that
he had no interest in the moth contract,
and had never received dollar from it,
directly or indirectly. There was no testi-
mony before the committee to show that
he had testified otherwise than to the truth.
There was just about as much decency in
