Ouito . number Of statements were
made which verified Mr. Hunton's repro
eentations in the House. The history of
the telegram seems to be that M.
Knott found it st his house. It
was headed "London." When Mr.. Knott
came to tho Capitol he showed il to Judge
Lynde, Judge McMahon and others. Before
and after tho receipt Of tho Dispatch
Messre. Knott and Hunton had made inef-
fectual efforts to obtain Caldwell's address.
Judge Lynde advised Mr. Knott that the
dispotCh had Q euspicious look and was not
evidence. It was KnOtt's intention to sub
init it to the judiciary Committee to dis
pose Of it q they pleased, but the existing
events had prevented. There were many
fierce looks exchanged and nothing but
the rules and decOrum Of the COMMITTEES
room prevented the exchange Of farcer
words and probably blows.

to two friends the first night they were in
his possession. He said to the committee
he would read them to 200 people within .
week, and he read them in the House
of Representatives. It il usual to send
such d0ouments to the Clerks desk to be
read. It was natural, however, that Mr..
Blaine should desire to emphasize words in
his own way and to give them the best pos
sible construction; but it was noticed that
