WASHINGTON. April 1.-THE Chairman

psrtment OF Justice several days ago addressed
aletter TO the Attorney General, asking him to
INFORM that committee for what purpose one

structlons given him, and what service he Ia rem
derine or expected to render, what Is his COM
pensation. and Is he still In tho employment
OF the department. The Attorney General
yesterday replied that he had for some time
distrusted Barrett's character, and though he
was recommended by Charles o'Conor, A. d.
Cornell, w. NJ. Evarts, and other prominent law
yers, still there was the best OF reasons for be-
lievin9 that he was nn Infamous character. He
had sent worthy person to New Orleans
To investigate Darretts conduct, aud the teie-
graphic reply confirmed the Attorney Generals
eeuspicions. Brett was employed on the ground
that he was supposed to be possessed Of very
valuable Information concerning cotton frauds
and wniskey olses.

which demanded tho prompt action OF the At
