THE SIBERIAN INVESTIGATION.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Isl A Emerson,
colored man of education and intelli-
gence, and formerly clerk in the Treas
ury, appeared before the contingent fund
investigating committee yesterday and was
re. called to-day He testified that he was
granted two months leave of absence in the
summer of 1880 by Secretary Sherman
and sent South to work up delegates in
the interest of Sherman for President.
He swore he was sent on this errand by
Secretary Sherman himself and received
all his instructions from Sherman; that
he was authorized to make use of federal
appointments whenever he could secure
support for Sherman; that he went to
Arkansas, in which state he claimed his
residence, and consulted with ex Sena-
tor Clayton; that he was authorized by
Sherman 10 place certain federal
patronage in Clayton's control if the
latter would agree to work for Sherman.
Emerson testified that he found oil the
leading Republicans of Arkansas and the
South for Grant and that he saw it would
be impolitic for him to antagonize that
sentiment; that instead of working for
Sherman he gave his support to Grant and
went to the Chicago Convention in Grant, 8
interest; that ON the very day of his re-
turn from Chicago to Washington he was
discharged from the position he had ac-
ceptably filled for three years. He swore
that different Republicans of the South
were promised Federal offices if they
would agree to support Sherman; that
Pinchback was to have the naval office at
New Orleans: for that consideration he
agreed toxhprk up Sherman delegation
from Louisiana: that there was some diff
f1culty in the way Of removing the
incumbent of that Office, and Sherman,
wanted Pinchback to take another place;
Pinchback refused and after being
disappointed went to Louis
lana and organized q
Grant delegation; Secretary Sherman au-
thorized Emerson to offer to o. certain
Arkansas Republican whom he named the
appointment of Collector of Internal Reve-
nue. for that place if he would pledge him.
self to vote for Sherman at Chicago. SEN
ator Allison, chairman of the committee,
asked Emerson how many Treasury en-
ployees there were at the Chicago conven-
ton. Emerson replied that there must
have been at least 100 Allison then asked,
"Don't you think there were 1,000?"
Emerson replied, 'Well, / said 100 because
l prefer to keep within bounds" Allison,
'.Well, think there were over 900, judg-
ing from what I saw" Emerson to-day
reaffirmed his testimony, and the commit
tee will call for other witnesses whom he
has mentioned, to learn what they have to
say on this fact. That Emerson was dis
charged while under Sherman, tends to
make the committee doubt his statements.

wer to his Fitz John Porter letter for pub
lication,
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, WASH
INGToN, D. c., Feb. 10, 1881.
MY DEAR Cox:-In our twenty five years
of acquaintance and friendship you have
never done a greater service to the truth
or given me so valuable help as in your
letter of the 18th inst, which l have
Just received. have been so stung by
the decision of the Schofleld board that it
is very hard to trust my own mind to speak
of it as it appeared to me. have made
strong effort to separate myself from the
case and to look at it intellectually as though
it related only to the pieces and the chess
board, and not to living men, or men
who had ever lived, and al my best
efforts have brought me not
precisely to the conclusion of
your letter, still I had not yet made, in
the light of the new testimony, careful
strategetic study of the field and map, as
you have done. But how curious it is that
what you say now with the new maps be-
fore you is the exact picture Of the field
and Porter's conduct upon it which glowed
in strong colors in the mind OF the court
martial seventeen years ago. And now my
dear friend, I need your help still further
and need it more than ever in our ac-
quaintsnce, overwhelmed as 1 am with the
current daily work of the House, it is al
most impossible for US to get the time to
go minutely through all the map of this
new evidence as I ought to do. With
kindest regards I am as ever,
Yours, J. A. GARFIELD"

COW BOYS CUsTOMs.

OMAHA, Jan. ia party of cow boys
from the up country, rode into Long Pine
Tuesday night, and took possession of the
town. They shot out the lamps in saloons,
riddled the windows, fixtures and walls,
and terrorized the inhabitants by firing
fully thousand shots during the night
Finally part of the gang boarded a depart
ing train, shooting from the rear platform.
The inhabitants are too glad to have es-
capped personal injury to think of bringing
the ruf1ans to justice.
