sHERmAN Of THE STAND
Before the senate Committee Investfgat-
ing the Treasury Frauds.

WASHINGTON, January 1.-THE Senate
Committee, investigating the contingent
fund expenditures of several executive de-
partments, examined Senator Sherman to
day with regard to the alleged frauds and
irregularities in the Treasury Department
expenditures while he was Secretary. He
disclaimed any knowledge whatever otthe
irregularities and discrepancies that have
been discovered, and that the Secretary
of the Treasury has too many matters ot
weighty import to look after to watch all
the minute details of the Department; that
he must trust the details to subordinates,
and cannot possibly have an eye upon all
their accounts. With regard to the al
legation that the Treasury workmen had
done work upon his houses and been paid
out of the contingent fund, he admitted
that mechanics on the Treasury roll had
been employed by him at different times.
but said that he had paid for all the work
they did out of his own pocket.
Pitney was at one time acting as agent
for Sherman, collected rents nom the Sec
retary's tenants and attended to the repairs
upon his house. The mechanics oI the
Treasury were given odd jobs of repairs as
extra work, but their time was kept at the
Department and they were paid each
month for all work they had done. An ac-
count of such extra work as was done upon
Sherman's property was rendered
him, and he always paid it, but that Pit
ney might have gotten the accounts mixed
somewhat, and this gave some color to the
allegation that the workmen were paid for
their services to Sherman out of the con-
tingent fund. Upon one point Senator
Sherman was very positive, and that was
that he was charged with and paid for all
work the mechanics did for him. A
member of the committee says that deVel-
opments are all of a very small grade,
and that the irregularities involve petty
affairs, but he added that the only criticism
to be made upon Sherman is that because
he could get work done little cheaper by
them he consented to employ in his OWL
service men employed in the department
he had charge of This saving, he said
was evidently what induced Sherman .tc
employ those men. They were willing tc
do extra work at lower rates than outside
mechanics

WAsu1SGrox, January 1.-THE Ameri-

facturers held its semi-annual meeting to-
day. Representatives of nearly all the
principal new business was the passage of
a resolution agreeing not to make any glass
during July and August next The pro-
duct Of the past year has been large-near-

which have declined more than 40 per cent
since 1880. Apprehension over the pro

The Road Makes an Excellent showing
of Its business.

BALTIMORE, January 11.-President Gar
rett stated at the meeting of directors, not
withstanding the continuance of the war
of rates, the results to the Baltimore & Ohio
Company on Its main stem and branches
showed revenue for December OF 81, ,607,
7S7, an increase of SI77, 400 over December,
1880. Ofthis increase SIS, ,00S IL was from
passenger traffic, The general activity OF
business on all the lines of the company
fully occupied its equipment. These re
suits, the President states, showed the abso-
lutte ability of the Baltimore & Ohio Com
pany to maintain the differentfal rates
which had been in operation for many
years.
President Garrett stated that their differ
ences were so much less than the appropri-
ate rates on proper tariff that he found not
only Baltimore and regions Immediately
served by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
but Representatives ofcentres of commerce
in the northwest, west and southwest,
thoroughly supporting the policy adopted
by the company.
After full discussion the Board of Di-
rectors unanimously adopted the resolu-
ton approving the action of the Execu-
tive Committee and directing the mainte-
nance of the policy.
1t was unanimously determined it would
be unjust to all great public interests con-
nected with the Baltimore & Ohio Com
pany and against the sound principles OF
business to change the difference under the
rates to New York below those heretofore
fixed, and whilst the company would moi
object to the reference or arbitration OF
other subjects, the principle involved on
this point would preclude such action.
The President stated the business of the
company in New York was very satisfac
tory, the company receiving more thar
the proportion of business agreed on under
the trunk line pool, at rates above thost
charged by the New York Central & Hud
son River Railroad, preference being giyeI
the Baltimore & Ohio Company on accoun
of rapid and reliable transportation anC

JUDGE COx,s DECISIONS.
what tho Counsel for the Prosecution
and Defense Think of Them.

WASHINGTON, January 11.-District At
torney Corkhill, when asked this morning
how the rulings of Judge Cox were regard
ed, replied very favorable to the prosecu-
ton. 1t being suggested that some people
regarded the rulings as favorable to the de-
tense, the District Attorney said:
cit must be understood that these rulings
are entirely distinct from the charge to the
jury. When Judge Cox comes to charge
the jury and applies his rulings to the facts
of the case, no one will consider any thing
favorable to the defense"
Col. Corkhill remarked that the Judge
had demolished the theory of irresistible
impulse. Scoville SAYS he is satisfied with
been sustained by Judge Cox. If he de-
liVers the charge to the jury on the same
basis, we care nothing for the mere words
of our instruction. Scoville maintained
that Judge Cox had sustained the main
points of difference, and that the question
OF reasonable doubt was left just as it ought
to go to the jury. When asked whether
gree, Scovillc said: 81 think they will
agree on acquittal. I do not think the
jury will be influenced by popular feeling,
Judge Cox has thought more of his future
reputation than present popularity"
Mr.. Reed expresses himself well pleased
with the Judges instructions.
Jno. w. Guiteau is well pleased. He
thinks the feeling against his brother has
changed, and that the jury will disagree il
it does not acquit.
After the Court adjourned yesterday
Messrs Scoville, Reed and j. w. Guiteau
called upon Judge Cox and congratulated
him, thanking him for his impartiality
Judge Cox remarked that he thought the
prosecution would be better satisfied than

Henderson Field, of the Committee on
Railways and Canals to-day received me-
mortal from Carter Harrison, Mayor, and
other prominent citizens of Chicago, ask
ing Congress to survey at as early a date
as possible, within five years at least, a
route for ship canal of such character
as the Welland canal, to extend from To
ledo to the southern extremity of Lake
Michigan. The citizens of Chicago offer, if
this is done, to build this canal without
bonus or subsidy from the Government.
They assert that it will save lake commerce
five hundred miles of travel between
Chicago and the lower lakes, and will
prove a great boon to commerce.

ALRAEY, January 1.-THE Senate met
at noon and Governor Cornell sent in his
message. It opens with an a1Iusion to the
National grief at the wicked assassination
of the President, and the universal en-
preston of sympathy from every quarter.
The finances are in gratifying condition.
Under the head of canals the Governor
says: The competition OF railroads, the en-
largement of the Canadian canals and the
development of the Mississippi routes are
important considerations with reference to
the future capacity of the canals to earn
the necessary revenue for their mainten-
ance. If added to these, there should be a
smaller foreign demand for breadstuffs or
reduced production in the western States,
1t ID plain to be seen that under the pres
ent constitution on canal expenditures, the
usefulness of canals may be seriously im-
perllled, If not entirely suspended until re-
lief be secured through an amendment to
the constitution. In view of the time re-
Quired for this process your consideration
of the pending propositions for constitu-
tional amendment Is respectfully suggested.
Other points are touched upon in sub
stance as follows
All sales of oleomargerine as butter
should be prevented. There should be a
fair traffic and just regulation OF freight
tariff, and some measure devised which
shall afford the needed relief to thepatrons
of railroads and at the same time not inn
pose unreasonable burdens upon corpora
tions.
A careful amendment of the lawsnow in
force concerning imprisonment for debt is
suggested. Attention is called to the In
adequacy of the excise laws and the neces-
sity of effective amendments thereto The
Governor hopes the consideration of the
subject of the International Exposition will
be left for a later date. The modification
of the usury laws of the State, at least so far
as they relate to the demand of loans, is
referred to as means of preventing un-
usual commissions for money in addition
to the legal rate of interest. The bribery of
voters is sternly rebuked, and a biennial
session OF the Legislature advocated.
The House met and cast one vote for
Speaker with the following result: Patter-
son, Sc; AlSord, 5s; Costello, 5. Necessary

The Examination of the Fraudulent
Bond RaISerS.

BOnu hAlSerSs
WAsH1NGToN, January 1.-THE adjourn
ed hearing of the Star Route cases was re-
sumed in Police Court to-day. Bliss con-
Quoted the prosecution. All the parties
arrested last Saturday were present or rep
resented by counsel. Some discussion
ensued rs to the first case to be examined,
in the course of which Bliss made state
ment of the position taken by the govern
ment in these cases. Bliss made severe
arraignment of the methods pursued by the
defendants in transferring property from
one party to another just before the award
OF contracts, SO that one piece OF land
worth $4,000 would represent bonds to the
amount of nearly S3, 100000, and said that
under the present law the Postmaster
General was absolutely powerless to pre-
vent the preparation of such frauds. AT
the conclusion of Bliss address the first
case was called, that OF Cabell, Minnix and
Dickson.
Postoffice. Inspector Tidball, called for
the prosecution, identified statement
written by himself on the 2nd OF last June,
and signed by Dickson, in which Dickson,
who is a relative by marriage of Cabell,
charges Cabell and Minnix with conspiring
with himself to defrand the Government OF
legal security by presenting worthless
bonds.
TidbaIl was subjected to searching
cross-examination by counsel for defense,
tending generally to make him acknowl-
edge the Government had sustained no
| loss from these contracts. He said he had
been ordered by Postmaster General James
to make these Investigations and was not
assisted by Gibson and Woodward, al
though examinations took place in the
same room.
P. II. woodward, another Postoffice In
spector; was called to testify, and his ex-
animation took the same general direction
as that of Tidball.
The court adjourned until tomorrow.
WASHINGTON, January 1l.-Tidball, in
the course of his testimony, said the bad
feeling between Cabell and Dickson, be-
cause the latter refused continuance as Ca.
bells bondsman; he did not remember
where route 90,9l0 was situated; he had
obtained information which formed the
basis of his statement from Government
