Mr.. BrtstOw Explains.

WAsHINGToN, April l9.-Sccretary
Bristow has addressed the following let
ter to Hon. B. q. Cauldfeld, chairman
of the Committee on Expenditures in
the Department of Justice:
SIR:-My attention has been called tn
the Washington dispatches to the Balti
more Gazette, of this date, (copy en-
closed) from which it appears that some
time last week, MIR. I. w. Bartley, of
this city, appeared before your committee
and detailed rumors, under oath,
affecting my official integrity.
This witness IS represented as having
sw>rl on the information and belief, in
substance: that while l was United
States attorney for the district of Ken
tucky, number of distilleries were slezed
at my instance, and that soon after, upon
AL offer of n large sum OF money, L
resigned and procured the appointment
of NV assistant, Col. Wharton. who, Us
nv successor, became counsel for these
dlstileries and procured the release OF
their property 1t is difficult to credit
the statement that an officer OF the goy
ernment who could be reached by your
committee in l. few minutes should be
allowed to remain in ignorance OF
the exact character of such testi-
mony for over week, and that no
opportunity to meet charges of so serious
\ nature should be afforded him. In the
absence OF any definite information from
YOUR committee in regard to what the
witness really stated under oath, sud
without reference to the alleged denial Of
these statements by another witness, l
must promptly meet the slander as l find
il in the public prints, even at the risk
of appearing to reflect upon the methods
of your committee. The story, whether
testified to by Mr.. BARLEY or any
one else before your committee,
is absolutely and unqualiiedly false. l
trust your committee will recognize the
propriety of giving me an opportunity
to meet this baseless SANDER promptly,
and for this purpose request that the Oh
iicers of the Court. including the judge
thereof, be brought before your committee
and subjected to public examination
touching all matters alleged by the wit
ness in question, either BY
direct statement or inuendo
and if need be the records OF the court
be examined for the purpose OF showing
that no such cases existed, at least that l
had no connection with any such. Fur
thermore claim the right to DO heard
personally before your committee under
oath, touching all matters referred to by
an; witness who has been examined
Oh this subject. l have the honor to
be very respectfully yours,
[Signedl b. ID. BRIsTow.
