The Blaine Investigation.

THE QUESTION OF FUNDS FOR THE COMMITTEE To
BE REFERRED TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
Some days ago the First Comptroller of the
Treasury decided that the Blaine investigation
committee could not defray its expenses from
the money appropriated by Congress at the
last session to investigate the Presidential elec-
ton and Stanley Matthews connection with
the same. This decision placed the committee
OF which Mr.. Teller is chairman, in limbo until
congress meets and special appropriation can
De MADE. senator Edmunds drafted the reso-
luton making the appropriation for the Mat
lneWS committee, and he is of the opinion that
the money thus appropriated can be lawfully
used 10 defray the expenses OF the Blaine inyeS-
t1gatl0n. At the request Of Senators Fdmunds
and Teller yesterday, Judge Porter consented
TO review the whole subject Several points
were presented for his consideration, which il
was thought might influence him to change his
opinion. To-day, however, Comptroller Porter
wrote letter to senator Teller re affirming his
decision that the Blaine committee cannot in
his Judgment use the funds appropriated for
another purpose. The last section of the act
PROVIDES that $4,000 shall be appropriated
TO be expended by the Attorney General in the
prosecution or any person indicted for commit
uhg any crime against the United States in
connection with the general elections. The
COmptfOllerS opinion is that this $1,000 was
appropriated to punish offenders against the
laws III connection with the Presidential cleo
tloh OF 1876; out as the wording OF the section
Is capable OF a double construction. it may be
that the Blaine committee could legally eXpend
portion or all of this sum in Investigating and
detecting general offenders against the election
laws. The Comptroller says the Attorney Gen
efal Is the person to decide the matter he being
the law officer OF the government, and Judge
Porter recommends that Gen. Devens be called
upon for an opinion on the subject With his
opinion the Comptroller would be likely to
coincide. Mr.. Teller is very anxious to send a
SUP @suD-commttee TO New Orleans during the re-
cess. ne reIerence VIII be made this afternoon
ahd an opinion OF the Attorney General rendered
early next week.
