WASHINGTON.
BRIsTow's MULE CASE.

WASHINGTON, March 2O.-Secreta-
ry Bristow to-day made q sworn state
mcnt to the committee on expendi-
lures in the war department relative
to the Herald letter, dated Louisville,
concerning the mule case.-S He said
he believed the letter was written
from Washington having been advised
that such staement would be made.
He said he did not prepare the case,
hein5 engaged merely to argue it,.
He never. suspected either the integ-
ritv Of the claimants nor fairness Of
the cases. One Of the claimants he
was intimate with, having served
with him in the Kentucky senate.
AT that time he had no connection
with any government Office. Groome
engaged him and stated his case
which was that the firm had engaged
extensively inrraising mutcs for army
uses, but when the rebellion collapsed
the government refused to take them
and Groome said they would pay no
fee unless the claim was allowed.
Bristo~ said he was not in the habit
of taking q case in that way, but
agreed to argue the case if Groomc
would pay all his expenses, and in
case the claim was allowed ten per
cent of the amount obtained thereon.
>. Fuller prepared the case and the
secretary argued from that. The only
question Z raised by the assis-
tant attorney general, was on points
of law, not on facts which were con
elusive. The facts were that the firm
had mules at proper points to be ship.

at the time the government refused to
take them. There was conse-
quence sudden depreciation in tn.
value ofmules. The low prices at which
they were compelled to sell them wa.
an Inconvenience and evenIchicf justic.
Drake who dissented did SO only on
fquestion Of law. {.
There were involved in the cast
two interesting questions Of law. .Fhe
majority Of the court gave judgmen
for sloS,75o. The secretary believed
then, and now believes that the Judge
: ment was right. The case was argued
by him inI October, S73, and a judg
ment was rendered January S, 1874
The case had been referred to tn
court Of claims by the war depart
ment, and payment made from fund
under control Of that department
The secretary had nothing more t,
do with the case than to argu
lit + before the court of claims
Groome paid him as his fee $40
