sPENCER's INvEsTIiATIoN.


WASHINGTON, D. c., March 1.-THE
Senate committee on privileges and elec-
tions to day began an investigation of the
charges brought against Senator Spencer,
OF Alabama
Senator Spencer was present with his
counsel, II n Matt Carpenter. assisted by
Charles +. Meyer, chairman OF one of the
two Republican State committees OF Ala
bama.
Gen. Jno. S. Morgan appeared in behalf
Of e memorialists Of the Alabama legis-
lature
Jno. J. Moulton, postmaster at Mobile,
at the time Of Spencers election, and now
deputy collector OF internal revenue at
that point, was examined by Gen. Morgan
especially in reference to his testimony
given before the committee of investiga-
tion, of the Alabama State legislature, last
April, in which Moulton stated that money
was used to secure Spencer's election.
Gen. Morgan read from the testimony
of the witness and asked il the answers as
printed were correct. Moulton, in
every instance when the printed
answers contained an intination Of
his knowledge of corruption, emphatically
denied that he had ever given such testi-
mony. He especially denied the statement
attrib TO him in the printed testimony,
that he had asked Spencer for $4,000, but
said he had requested a loan Of s. 900, and
that subsequently, Spencer had handed him
a check for S2,250, which Spencer said was
all he could -pare at the time. The wit
ness afterwards repaid this money.
The House Committee on post-of6ces and
post roads to-day examined VIM. A. Dan
forth, of Chicago.
He testified that Sanderson, of the frm
of Barlow, Sanderson 4 Co., had informed
him that they paid large sums of money to
the officers in the Post-Ohce Department
under Cresswell's administration to secure . |
valuable western mail contract, by means |
of straw bidding devices. Sanderson |
roomed with the witness in Kansas City |
and they were intimate friends. Sander
son told him that the firm Was bled heayi-
ly BY the post-of6ce officials, and that they
paid not less than S. ,0OJ per quarter. To
one party they had given = carriage and
horses, and 10 smother = diamond pin
worth 1900. No names were given by
Sanderson in making these assertions.
The witness said he had seen one Of the
books Of the firm, which showed that they
set aside considerable proportion of their
receipts from mail contracts to Be devoted
10 such payment. Barlow lived east, and
attended 10 paying odS the money. Wit
ness said that subsequently, Sandenon in
formed him they had burned their books,
and suggested that he better not remember
What had heen told him on this subject.
The committee will next examine the
book-keeper Of Barlow 4 Co.

IS. Evans, late post trader At Fl. Sill
followed Gen. Butler ~ . witness. He de-
tailed all the circumstances surrounding
his obtaining permission from Mr.. Marsh
to remain at F. Sill. 1t was matter oi
necessity with him, he said, to come to
terms Nth Mr.. Marsh. Evans presented q
detailed statement in writing Of his pay
ments to Mr.. Aanh. He said that be told
his friends Of his agreement With Mr..
Ma~h, and showed Gen. Greens, the COM
manding officer 1t the post, on his return
the contracts. The facts, he said, were
we'll known there, and it was regarded as a
great outrage, and the cause Of extortion-
ate prices Evans said he was
introduced to the Secretary Of War
BY General Rice, Of Iowa, and paid
him $1,000 for the in reduction. He
thought this was enough though Rice
wanted $3.50. Witness wished to deny a
published statement of Capt. Robinson,
that he paid 81 500 to the Secretary Of War,
and that Dent q Co., connived at the mat
ter. There was no foundation for the re-
port. Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska,
appeared before the committee to deny
that he had ever promised any one a
post tradership in the event Of that person
supporting him for the Senatorship.

BENEFITS THE REPUBLICANS.

So far "a these investigations are con.
cerned, there seems to be more anxiety on
the part of Democrats here relative to mem.
bers Of their own party being implicated
with such men as Belknap, than fear among
Republicans. The labors of Mr. Clymer's
committee have thus far been more bene-
fetal TO the Republicans than the Demo
crats, and Messrs. Slymer, Black burn and
Robbins are fit subjects for investigation
themselYs.

A Hunter killed by Panthers.

A most remarkable circumstance is
chronicleu in Hamilton, Madison Coun.
ly, The truth of which has been youched
for by reliable parties. In the wilder
ness OF this county there lived a sturdy
countryman named John Dunning, with
his family, in rude nut OF his own con-
strucliOn. Ohe day early last week
Dunning saw bear passing near his
home, Whereupon he Immediately pre-
pared himself with u riff and hunting
knife, and, with his dog, started in pur-
suit of Bruin. Night came on and he did
not return. His wife, becoming alarmed
at his absence, sent to a neIguboring
settlement and enlisted the aid of cou-
pie OF men who plunged into the wilder
ness to discover the missing man.
Alter most fatigulng search. lasting
several hours, they came upon the man
gled remains of Dunning ana his dog,
While near them 1aythree dead pantuers.
Two of them, young ones, bore marks of
having been shot by Dunnng, while
the mother met her death while fighting
Dunning, who had plunged his hunting
knife into her vital parts, where it was
found by the searchers. Dunning while
following the bear had probably been
intercepted by these more voraclous an.
imals, ana met his death while protect-
ing his person from the gnashIng jaws Of
the mother, whose young ones ne had
slain.- Elmira Advertiser.
