The AshtabuIa Ipyes,igatiou.

CLEVELAND, January 1.-The legls-
lative committee appointed for that pur;
pose, took the testimony OF Amos Stone,
Jr., the former manager OF the Lake
Shore and Michigan Central Railroad,
this forenoon, regarding the Ashtsbuia
disaster, Among other matters. Mr..
Stone testified that he was the original
designer OF the bridge at Ashtabula, and
ths, he only superintended The plans, and
there was no change of the plans
after the works was projected by
him, but there was an error
bv the constructor, which gave
considerable trouble. A brace was put
in horizontally when it should have
been vertical. The change of Fighting
the braces was made before the bridge
was finished. Mr.. Stone says the su-
perintendence Of the construction was
in the hands of Mr.. Tomllnson, until he
found him inefficient, and discharged
him. The bridge had been put
in tho hands of Mr.. Rogers, whom he
thinks never had put together
an iron bridge before. The dropping
out of one or two counter braces would
no. affect the destruction Of the bridge as
they have but little service to perform
excepting to stand 8 shock.
CLEVELAND, January II. The Lead
CT, Asbtabuls special says: The inquest
was resumed again. z n. Beebout wss
recalled. Thinks the main braces were
insufficient; that they contained enough
material, but not Of the proper shape;
thinks the set braces would have been
very much stronger 10 resist the COM
preston if they had been connected
throug bout their entire length by plates
of iron rivited 10 them. This, too, was
the method proposed by Tomlinson for
siren g,heninI them when the bridge wss
built. The Jary adjourned till morning.

and Privileges of the House in counting
the electoral vote, examined, TO day,
VIM. K. Chandler He testified that he
was q member of the National Republi-
can Committee, and also 8 member of
the Executive Committee. In reply TO
question whether he or any other men,
Der of the committee sent kilograms TO
Louisiana, Florida and North or South
Carolina, the witness replied affirmative.
ly. He had seen copies OF kilograms pro-
duced yesterday by Mr.. Clancy, but did
not remember any others in particular;
he, however, sent q telegram early in
the morning, before Clancy was upi be
thought he sent them to the same per-
sons mentioned, in those states, but more
brief; his recollection was that he lele-
grsphed that Hayes hxd 1876 votes, with
Florids, Louisisns and Oregon; that the
Democrats weuld attempt TO wrest these
states from the Republicans by fraud or
other improper means and requested
them to be diligent 70 ascertain the re-
suit and communicate it as soon as sscer-
tanned.
Q-Wss any promise made in these
kilograms Of money or troopsf A
Noae to my recollection.
In response to q question as to the
names Of the friends mentioned in his
dispatches 10 Mr.. Keogh, who had left
for Raleigh, witRess replied that they
were Gen. Fitzpatrick and q. q. Cfapsey,
the latter being correspondent OF the
New York Times.
Odd you give instructions to these
gentlemen? Al think not; none 10
my knowledge.
Q-Were they furnished with money ?
A-Simply to pay their expenses; no
more.s
In response TO question, the witness
said that while in Tallahassee he became
counsel for the Governor Of Florida and
the other Republican candidates for Con-
gress and electors.
Q-While in Florida, did you receive
letters or kilograms from any member OF
the National Committee in which men
tion was made OF money or troops. A
OuRuL uOt W hle~cI WtHNds shO Soh'
sent OF my clients, whom l will advise
to give me permission to answer.
The committee after private con-
sultstion unanimously decided that the
witness must answer the question and
there could be no privileged communica-
tions between an attorney and his
clients, as against the committee Of the
House. Witness said. n at present sd-
vised, be declined ~ answer the question
without the consent of his clients, and
he declined with sll due respect 70 the
committee.
Odd you, while in Florida, send g
letter of telegram 10 any member o. the
national committee mentioning m"ncy or
troops. Al make the same answer as
above,
On being further interrogated with ess
said he was q i certain the letter 10 Mr..
Keogh, produced yesterday, was actually
sent TO that gentleman. he thought
many Of the teiegrsms were known 10
Chandler and Gov McC"rmick, and
that he, witness dictated all Of them.
Some OF the kilograms were tent after
consultation with the memb bers Of the
committee, snd others were sent on lis
own authority. The committee then
went into private consultation,
