The Boston g. Albany Investigation.
BosroN, April 24-The legislative committee
which has been investigating the management
of the Boston & Albany Railroad and inquir-
ing into the charges made by State Director
Hayes, after q protracted session has submitted
three reports the committee being divided in
opinion. Report signed by Messrs. Palmer and
Mosely sustains Haynes in making his charges
and states that Moses Kimball held the posi-
ton of state director in defiance of law, being
interested in the stock of the road, and that
the Ware River Railroad transaction was
source OF much private profit to President
Chaplin aud his friends. They recommend
that Messrs Chaplin, Kimball and Sargent hav-
trust as directors the Attorney General be ms
tructed to institute proceedings to recover any
money in the hands of these officers belonging
to the road. The report states that Moses
Kimball retains $4,000 of the road funds
which he made out of gravel contract.
The majority report, signed by FIVE members
of the mmittee, and another signed by four
members, both condemns Messrs. Kimball, Sar-
gent and Chaplin for their violation of trust and
embody the some charges contained in the re-
port of Palmer and Mosely, though expressed
in less severe terms. Both reports concludes
with a recommendation that under the advice
of and with the concurrence of the Governor
and Council the Attorney General be instruct
ed to bring an action against Chaplin, Kimball
and Sargent for the purpose of securing the
profits of the Ware River lease to the treasury
of the Boston & Albany road. Palmer and
MoseIey's report says: Messrs. Chaplin, Sargent
and Kimball have been guilty of violation of
their official duty; have perverted the trust and
| confidence reposed in them to their private
| ends in conformation of equity and good NOR
| ais and said Chaplin, Sargent and Kimball de-
| serve aud should receive therefor the censure
| and condemnation of all high minded and hon
| oIable men.
An Insane Son Shoots His Father.
PLYMOUTH, April M.-Capt. Elisha Sampson
Of Duxbury, was shot dead this morning, by
his son Simeon Sampson, while at the break
fast table. All the family were at the table
| except Simeon, young man "a years old, who
was supposed to be in bed. de came cautious
ly down stairs, opened the door and fired before
any one knew he was near, the shot taking
effect in the forehead. completely carrying
| away the whole top of the head. The weapon
used was common shot gun heavily loaded
with shot. He then returned to his room and
went to bed, where officers Alden and Hollis
| found and arrested him, carrying him to Ply
| mouth Jail. On the way to Plymouth the off,
GERS questioned him, and he gave as a reason
| for killing his father that he was afraid the
| father would kill his brother No other cause
can be given 50 far as can be ascertained except
| insanity. He has been considered insane by
some in the neighborhood for several years.

Inst Winters Arkansas Legislation.

With the insinuation just answered is that
which, in an irresponsible and anonymous way,
attempts to connect the ownership of the Little
Rock & Fort Smith bonds with the legislation
of last winter respecting the state government
of Arkansas. There are some accusations
which it is difficult to repel with sufficient force
because of their mixture of absurdity, deprav-
ty and falsehood. 1 never heard this stupid
SANDER till within few days, and venture to
say there is not responsible man in the coun-
try, of the slightest sense, who can discern the
remotest connection between the two things
that are alleged to have an intimate and infa-
nous relation.
The Fore& DING Summarized.
Let me now, Mr.. Speaker, briefly summarize
what have presented:
First-That the story of my receiving $4,000
or any other sum of money or other thing of
value from the Union Pacific Railroad Com
papy, directly or indirectly or in any form, is
absolutely dlsproved by the most conclusive
testimony.
Second-rhat no bond of mine was ever sold
to the Atlantic q Pacific, or the Missouri Kan
sas 81 Iexas Railroad Company's and that lot
single dollar of money from either of these
companies ever went to my profit or benefit.
Thlrd-Ihat instead of receiving bonds of
the Little Rock & Fort Smith railroad as a
gratnlty, never had one except at the regular
market price, and that instead of making a
large fortune out of that company, L have in.
Cured severe pecuniary loss from my invest
ments in its securities, which still retain, and
out OF such affairs as this grows the popular
gossip OF large fortunes amassed in Congress.
Conclusion.
1 can hardly expect, Mr. Speaker that any
statement from ne will stop the work of those
who have SO industriously circulated the cal.
umnies For months past the effort has beer
energetic and continuous to spread these stories
in private circles. Emissaries of SANDER have
visited the editorial rooms of leading Republi.
can papers, from Boston to Omaha, and whis

rible even to De spoken in loud tones, and a.

The Democrats Accept the Statement
