themselves did not, for they will be confronted
by both 3E aud Mrs. Marsh on Tuesday next
Tho fugitlves whom the Clymer Committee
thought safe in Canada, the Administration will
have brought back here. The Democrats are
now seeking to make it appear that they have
endeavured to obtain ths rendition OF
Marsh. The truth is that the Admin
istration had perfected the necessary ar
raueenents week before the Democrats
took the first steps. The Administration has
NOW perfected all its plans for the return OF
BOTH MIR. AND MRS MARSH.

it is believed they are considering the proprlety
of again pntting George Fl. Pendeton on the
stand. Tho disclosures made by your correspond,
back here last night, and we're the subject Of
much comment. The Committee cannot avoid
probing the Pendleton matter to the bottom, and
any attempt on the part Of hr. Clymer and nls
associates to shield Mr. Pendletou will only
make the matter worse, as the truth
cannot now be suppressed. It ls believed
that If Mr. Marsh returns he will be able
to throw much light on the Pcndleton claim: A
number Of persons have sought to learn from
your correspondent bow he came into possession
OF the facts gwen in tbs dispatches yesterday'
and applications have deem made to Democratic
members of Clymer's Committee to know If they

'that Mr., Cly1ner knew Of the story abont tue
naruent OF $50, 00O to Mrs. Bowers by Pendleton
through other persons, fully two weeks ago' aud
vet be failed to try to ascertain the facts
