WEST IN OPPOSITION TO LEONARD
AND MARKS-LIVELY WORK
EXPECTED.
Their Confirmation. However, is y aCti-
CRlly Assured Kellogg Threatens
to slaughter West.
Especial to the Democrat. -.


WAsHINGTON, June 5.-Therc is likely to
be some lively work over the confirmation of
Leonard and Marks, owing to West, who s
perfectly frantic at the prospect of losing his
dividend on the salaries of the present inCum-
bentS.
Yesterday West met Kellogg, and after
some trivial conversation said he would oavc
no means untrod to prevent the confirmation
of Leonard and Marks, and particularly the
former; Kellogg told West he had better not
make any fight. and intimatod that he would
make it unhealthy for him if he did.
Further words passed, in the course Of
which Kellogg pretty distinctly intimated
that If necessary h" would not hesitate to
slaughter West along with Lacey and Cock
rem, by exposing the entire job connected
with their original appointment by Grant.
West really seems to have no means of sup
port outside Of his receipts from Lacey and
C0ckrcm, and hence his desperation is that of
u man who is fighing to prevent bread from
being taken out Of his mouth. Kellogg, how
ever, has him on the hip, and will use his ad-
vantage without mercy if necessary, so that
the confirmation Of both Marks and Leonard
is practically assured. Eustis will pursue
about the same cOurs" in regard to these ap-
pointmentB as h" did in Smiths ease"

A RADICAL FAILU RE.
TEMPT TO SPRING a TRAP

IOb'N'lNl
WASUINGTON June ;. In the investigation
to-day the defense utterly broke down whtlo
trying to spring a trap on Anderson under
CrOss-examnation. They had prepared II
careful forgery Of one OF tho Documents held
by Stanley Matthew's, and the plan was to
get Anderson to swear that it. was an original.
The forgery was very clovnrly executed, and
the Democrats think that they can trace it
home to the secret service Of the Treasury
Department, and fast"n the responsibility for
the put-up job ON John Sherman himself
When It was introduced by Reed, Of Maine
who Is defending John Sherman Anderson
took it, looked it over and pronounced it to be
% forgery Then the defense broke down
completely. and the committee shortly after
ward took a recess.
Matthews has mad" n long personal expln-
nation, which is on all hands pronounced
weak and cvasivc, leaving him worse off than
he was before.
Anderson is by odds the coolest and most
elfpOssesscd witness | ever saw, considering
the trying circumstances he is placed in, and
he has turned tn" tables on the defense every
time they have tried to corner him. There is
no danger Of his tripping.
All the Radical papers in New York and
New England have dropped tn" cry Of rcvOlu-
tion and Moxicanzation, finding that they
have more than they can conveniently do tC
wrestle with the facts as they come out.
The Democrats on the committee consider
the case already sufficiently established to
warrant the Impeachment of John Sherman
but they will not move in that direction till

POTTER NY~EsTIGATION.
Senator KeIIORg's Letters 10 Mrs,
I0mka.

WASHINGTON, June 26.-Mrs. jerks
was before the Potter committee again
to-day and said she may have letters
from Senator Kellogg not yet submitted
to the committee, but declined to pro.
duce them without the consent Of that
gentleman, which that gentleman gave
through Judge Shellabarger, the senator
adding he was DESTROYS Of having any
and all correspondence between himself
ard Mrs. jerks laid before the commit
tee. Mrs. jerks then said the letters
were in New Orleans and would pro-
duce them as o as possible. The ex-
pected package Of Anderson letters have
not yet been received. In reply to Qaes.
tons witness said she dictated the Sher.
man letter to another party, and wished
the committee to distinctly understand
that she herself did not write it.
Q.-Who was the person to whom you
dictated the letter. A.-Mr. Chairman,
| must decline to tell that. 1t would not
be honorable. 1t was a person promi-
nent in Louisiana local politics. l saw
him probably six months ago. He may
be dead now for what | know. he was
a kind of Republican. The first draft
of the letter was too elaborate for the
witness taste, but the second draft suited
better. Witness did not show either
draft to Weber, but left him to infer that
the letter was genuine; never metioued
the fact of the first draft to any n until
in this room.
The witness asked Mcmahon, with an
air Of hautiness, if there we're any more
lame, blind or halt expected az witnesses
in her case2 If so, he had better 90 out
on the highway and bring thin in.
McMahon-You know, Mrs. jerks,
there are lone SO blind aslthose that will
not see.
Mrs. jerks was informed that two let.
ters awaited her in the house p~oslohice,
and she was released to read them.
"a. G. Haley being recalled, testified
that be had several conversations in
January and February last, with Mrs.
jerks regarding the Sherman letter and
it came out in the conversation that she
was in Washington in behalf Of Cover
nsr Packard for collector; that she had
approached Secretary Sherman about
the matter; that she knew the where
abouts of the Sherman letter, and had
been offered two thousand dollars for it.
Witness said that her letter was at least
worth five thousand dollars to Secretary
Sherman, aud be (witness) proposed
that she make him her agent to place the
letter where it would do the most good.
Mrs. jerks gave witness to understand
that she would visit Louisiana and
bring the letter with her on her return.
She had read a letter to witaesa during
their conversation, presuming it to be
from her husband, which referred to the
Sherman letter. The letter was very AZ.
~fectionate, and contained much poetry,
and he seemed fond Of poetry. The
reading was greatly enjoyed BY him.

THE POOLING PLAN.
VIM. II Vanderbilt on the Present
Railroad Situation.

CHICAGO, June 26.-William H. Van
derbilt, president of the New York
Central Railway, contributes a commu.
nicssion to the Times on the present
railroad situation. He refers to the de.
preston in business, the great number
of bankrupt roads, and the uncertain
future for all roads unless there is a
change in the management, and favors
the pooling plan. BE Gays. Superior
natural advantages, better management
and greater volume Of business will ne.
cessarily keep some solvent much longer
than others. but every bankruptlin tends
to drag others down. Such q road pays
nothing to stockholders or b~ondhoders,
it has no responsibility to its patrons
or the public; it does business compare
lively for nothing; its property deterior-
ateS, and the country through which it
runs will in the end experience the dis
astrouS effects of its carelessness and
responsibility. II all the great trunk
lines were brought to that condition not
only would immense properties be de
stroyed but credit and trade be so
embarrassed hat every interest
and the whole country would
be irreparably injured. The pool
tries to avoid this. The only danger
that can be urged against it is that it
may establish exorbitant prices, but this
is impossible. The public have become
used to very low charges, aud will sub
nit to no other. The best skill, the
most prudent management, the utmost
good faith, cannot provide for more than
barely living prices. The whole effort of
the pool cannot raise or keep the
rate of compensation to a figure
so high but what the most rigid
economy and the ablest management
will be required to enable the companies
to live. The railroads as now existing
are crowded to their fullest capacity
but could do four times the business of
the country. If there we're only two rates
during the year, a summer and winter
one, and all shippers knew just what to
expect, and we're uniformly dealt with,
it would add immeasurably to the pros.
perity aud stability of our commerce.
All combinations heretofore made, based
upon different principles, have been
violated by the local agents Of the
roads in their anxiety to secure business
and favor friends. Under the equitable
distribution of tonnage this becomes
very difficult and a greater sense of fair
ness and security prevails. l believe
that Of all the plans yet suggested or
tried the division of tonnage uuder the
present system gives the most satisfac.
ton and the most beneficial results. If
any other scheme will work better, then
| am in favor Of it. High rates in the
future are utterly impossible. The PEG.
pie are safe from extortionate charges.
Stability of prices, fair rates for trans.
portation, equitable dealings with ship.
pers, and general prosperity can only be
had through some form Of understand.
ing embraced in what is generally styled.
