lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEI
WASHINGTON, March 14.-There is a good
deal of confusion among House committees as to the
divided responsibility in the matter OF Investigations
Thus the Military Committee and the Committee on Ex
penlitures in the War Department are IN constant
trouble to the matters pertaining TO each The MIL
tsry Committee Indian Committee are also in
trouble which entitled to the subject OF the trans
fer Of the Indian Bureau 10 the War Department
Tho Naval Committee aud the Committee ON Expendi-
lures in the Navy Department are also uncertain OF the
positions and the is the case with the two Post
Office Committees. The fault largely due to Mr. Nor
rison, Chairman of the Ways and Means COMMITTEE,
whose resolution, early in the session. required all the
committees named above and others to conduct
investigations into the several branches they represent
The difficulty that two committees are upor the same
subject and both in almost every case taking test
mony upon the same points. The Military Committee
is probably the most conspicuous.
The resolution of Mr. Morrison authorized both that
Committee and the Committee on War Expenditures to
conduct Investigations Both Committees have Int upon
the subject.
The War Expenditures Committee stole a march on
the other the Beknap business but both are engaged
in the headsone inquiry. Thus far the Military Com
mittee has the advantage For several days 1t has been
investigating headsone frauds and for two days me
Military Committee has had before them Mr.. Brdges Of
Keokuk Iowa who Is old friend of Mr. Belknap, and
the chief urnisher OF headstones to the soldiers Gene
teres He acknowledged, in effect, that in some cases
contracts not required by law been given to the
lowest bidders be also sand that successful bidders
himself included had often filed proposals only fifteen
minutes before the letting Frauds had been committed
in some cases by inverting injured head-stones and
avoiding the of the contracts requiring the base
OF the beadtone be longer heavier and rougher than
that portion above the ground. Mr.. Bridges acknow-
edged that he had paid large sums Of money f"r Ills
privileges but lie had paiu anything TO Mr. Bel
KNAPP or any member of hls family, In any way that
could reach them. He paid his money TO the original

He acknowledged that he paid one man, whose name lie
gave, $50 900 for certain privileges.
This witness lie not refusing 10 answer was never
theess very unsatisfactory his testimony and no
doubt eyaded questions which might have led to interest
ing developments. Other witnesses have been sum-
mOucd and the inquiry will be conducted TO the end.

Iily told him that he could secure the appointment
Of cadet at any time and that he had pro-
cured at least 90 OF 90 such appointmentsin his time
Mr. Charler said that after making the
bargain with Lily he had no further responsibility
or agency in the matter. He knew that Mrs Boards
lev and her son made a visit TO Alabama
about two weeks before the young man
was appointed, and spent short time III
Mr.. Hays's district Mr.. Lilly will be eX-
smned tomorrow. This testimony proves what
has long been suspected that agency exists in this
city for the sale of cadetships. Members of Con-
gress who desire to dispose of their appointments, II
is believed, place the matter in the hands of such
men as Lilly, from whom they receive the sum
agreed upon in advance. Neither the appOintee

NET REPUBLICAN, GAIN OF 1852 - CHESEY's
ELECTION CLAIMED BY From 1900 TO 1000
MAJORITY AND THE HOUSE By A MAJORITY OF
BETWEEN Is AND 25-THE DEMOCRATS THINK
THE HOUSE IL DOUBT.
CONCORD March 15.-A summary Of oil the re-
turns received up to o'clock a. m is as follows
100 towns and wards give Cheney, 81 1853; Marcy,
2S.936; Kendall and scattering, 80.
The same towns and wards last year gave the Re-
publican candidate O,393, tho Democratic 20,737,
the Prohibition and scattering sol, showing net
Republican gam of 1852.
The footing up Of the Representatives at the same
hour is as follows: 1877 towns aud wards elect 14s
Republicans and 100 Democrats. The Re-
publican majority in the House last year was II.
There is no doubt that Cheney is elected Governor
by the people, and the Republicans claim that the
majority will be as high rs 1900 OF 1000. They
also claim the House by from Is to 25 majority, but
the exact figures can only be determined by later
returns. The Democrats think the House very close
and in doubt.
In the Senatorial Districts the Republicans claim
to have elected Matt Head in the Id District,
James +. Briggs in the lid District, George
r. Todd in the WITH District, Joshua II. Smith
in the With District, Charles Holmes In the
With District, Royal H. Porter in the lXth Dis
trict, James Burnap in the Xth District and prob
ably James w. Johnson in the XIth District This
claim gives them ont of the IL Senators.
In the Councillor districts they claim to have
elected Charles A. Foss in District No. l; and
Albert s. Scott in District No. 4, leaving No. 3
doubtful. Districts Nos 3 and they concede to
the Democrats, who claim they have elected John
NJ. Parker in District No. 3, which gives a Demo
cratic majority in the Council.
OF the counties, the Republicans claim to have
carried six out of the 10, as follows: Rocking
ham, STAFFORD Hillsborough, CheShere, Sullivan,
and Alerrmack. The latter county is
somewhat in doubt, but the probabilities
are that il has elected Republican officers Last
year the counties were five Republican and five Dem
ocratic stated. With the exception of the House,
the status of which only be determined by fur
ther returns and the Council, which is doubtful the
Republicans have made clear sweep.
