Rich Testimony by Manton Marble.
New York, Feb. 7.-Manton Marble
was on the stand to-day in the cipher
investigation. He said that lie could
not say that he went to Florida under
instructions of the democratic commit
tee; but he had no conversation with
Gov. Tilden on the matter; thought he
got a cipher from Pelton at the Everett
house, and subsequently used it; neith-
er sent to nor received from Tilden any
kilograms; addressed dispatches to Pei
ton; the object in going to Florida was
to take care of the electoral vote;
the ciphers published in the New York
Tribune, 80 far as they concerned him
self, were simply rubbish; said he had
already published statement of what
he did and did not do in Florida; said
what he did not do was to buy Florida
votes, and they were for sale. Mr..
Marble wanted to submit letters to the
committee, but Mr.. Ried objected, and
they were ruled out by the chairman;
said he had none of the kilograms sent
from Florida.
Witness, docking at dispatch).
This dispatch showed belief that we
should lose both states by fraud.
Woolley delights in mystery. where to
others everything is perfectly plain.
The telegram. relating to the circula-
tion of documents, was read in full, aa
follows:
Nov. 21, '76.-Col. Pelton, Is Gra-
mercy Park: Try to have documents
which the associated press will soon
receive tonight, sent over the country
by the Western and New England and
other agents. Pray stop sending any
more people here. They delay business
and take up more time than can pos
sibiy spare, in utterly needless consul
tation and palaver. Every new one
needs education and local knowledge,
l have been week in acquiring. The
business is all perfectly in hand and
every point guarded. Heartily glad to
see Perry Smith and Gibson, of course,
who arrived to-day. Who is Paris?
Judge Robertson returns home to-mor-
row. Everything looks well.
Manton Marble.
The next dispatch read as follows:
Tallahassee, Nov. 27.-Col. Pelton,
10 Grammercy Park.-You are imper-
illing the result here by causing divided
counsel and neglecting to answer tele-
grams. advise that you find one per-
son to trust. and then trust him for
at least one calendar week, possibly
two. 1 will stand in nobody's way,
and do my best to transfer him authority
for about one hundred majority on GER
titled copies. Republicans claim the
same upon the returns. Rome needless
now Paris should be recalled, and
detectives always useless; ditto Wool
ley; here, as in Louisiana, he is nui-
sance and an impediment, trusted by
nobody. 1 decline to commit Tilden
with man so indiscreet. Smith con-
ours in all the aforesaid. Session begun
and ended. ts
moo % tSigned) MARBLE.
Witness testified that he had no rec
objection of this telegram. Did not
know who Rome was. The translation
is substantially correct. Let me state
that have not examined the cipher,
and merely give this as my opinion. The
witness had no explanation regarding
the dispatch to Grover, in Oregon, ask
ing him not to issue an electoral certi-
ficate to the electors. beEE ab8s
Dispatch No. al explained itself.
Had no recollection of the Tallahassee
dispatch stating he had just received a
,ronoo;t;on IN hand over a T,ildpn do.
