THE CHARGES AGAINST
SPEAKER KERR.
strong and Direct TeslimO.
ny by Lawrence Ilarney.

Washington, May %. Lawrence Harney, in
obedience to summons, appeared this morning be-
fore the committee to testify in relation to the
charge against Speaker Kerr. The committee,
however, postponed the examination until after
noon. Harvey said he did not think that he could
be present at that time, as he was suffering from
neuralgia, and would 60 to his room and lie
down. Clymer informed Harvey that Re need not
leave the room, rs be could lie up sofa, room
be darkened, and guard placed at the door to
prevent any one from obtaining admission. This
accommodation was agreeable to the witness, and
his examination is therefore expected to take place
to-day.
Clymer's committee met again at o'clock, ex-
amined Harney, former door keeper of the House,
in regard to the payment of money to Speaker
Kerr, for appointment iu the army of "A. L. Creep,
in 1866. Kerr, Morrison. Scott, Lord, Hereford,
Springer and other members of the House, were
ment of money.
Witness refused to testify and when told that
he would be compelled TO do so, he asked for time
to consider by advice of counsel.
Kerr said if witness knew anything relating
to him he was willing he should tell the truth
about it.
Witness-Docs Mr.. Kerr wish me to tell all
know about it
Kerr-Yes, want you to tell the truth about
it.
Witness-Then will tell what know, and
will tell the truth about it, too. Witpe then
said he met Green in 1866, and helped him to get
an appointment in the army second lieutenant.
Green paid witness $50, and witness paid it into
Mr.. Kerrs hands, in the corridor, east of the hall,
in the House, and Mr.. Kerr put into his pocket:
Witness said, II am now ready to be questioned
by Mr.. Kerr on this matter.
Mr.. Bass said he had no further questions to
ask, and witness was then turned over to kerr's
counsel. X. X. Elliot who cross-examined him at
length, but witness adhered to the story through
out.
The next evening witness went to Kerr's room
and the matter talked over. Kerr said the
place was worth $500, and witness said he did not
believe Green able to pay so much. Green
sent to New York and got the required letters.
which Kerr said were satisfactory. few days
afterwards witness and Green went to see Kerr,
and the latter said he would make the appointment
Green then raised $4l0 and gave it to witness,
who added $40 more.

man Kerr, and of his payment of $3.50 therefor to
Lawrence Haruey. Witness had an interview
with Mr. Kerr in which the latter asked many
questions, apparently to ascertain his capacity for
the position, but not one word ever passed be-
tween them about money. Harney told witness
that he paid the money to Kerr. Mr.. Kerr's rec
ommendation procured his appointment without
any additional influence. He was not examined

He was dismissed the army, having made an
unfortunate step, and "gobbled up like
meat worm by a mocking bird when it is hungry"
Witness, years after his appointment, stopped at
New Albany to pay his respects to Kerr, which he
would not have done if had believed Kerr receiv-
ed the money which he (witness) had paid to ldar-
ney. lie did not then believe and does not now
believe that Kerr received this money.

Alma Locals.
What grand old monumental shaft
Is that that seems to kiss the sun
Oh. yes, it bears the stars and stripes
The Centennia! year has just begun.
Brave sons of Alma lead the van,
Ring out your voices, cheer on cheer
Our nations life has but begun
Let's welcome this Centennial year.
Old bells, peal forth your silvery tones,
Call forth the brave who drew the sword;
Cali forth your servants from their homes
To worship at this festal board.
All, yes, they come; we're here once more,
Let's shake each other by the hand,
Although we've fought in days of yore,
We're brothers now in freedoms land
Well cheer once more, and then retire,
For YOU dear flag that ruled the day,
That led our boys through hottest fire
We're ready now-"Ilp! hip! hurrah'
Wheel into line, ye other towns,
Unfurl your banners to the breeze;
Like US in Alma, Danish feuds.
And plant, instead, Centennial trees.
Both Of the scows were launched last week.
The occasion drew quite large number 10 the
banks Of the river.
Mr.. J. f. Plummer will have his house nearly
completed for occupancy by the middle Of next
