WESTBROOK AND WARD.
A Liberal Coat of Whitewash.

ALBANY, May 31.-The legislative CON-
mittee investigating the acts of Judge
Westbrook reported to the Assembly to day.
The report first takes up the Manhattan
Elevated Railway matter, and after reciting
the legal steps In the case concludes that
the action of Judge Westorook in holding
court in the directors room of the Western
Union building, New York, and in the Dele
van House, Albany, was perfectly proper
under the circumstances.
AS to ex-Attorney General Ward, the COM
mittee find that he was actuated by the
purest motives, and that his conduct
throughout was that of q faithful, high
minded officer. Relative to the charge of
conspiracy between Judge Westbrook aud
Jay Gould the majority find that there
is no evidence in the case showing
any connection between the action
of Judge WestbroOk and the operations
of Gould. In reviewing the action of the
Judge In relation to the Manhattan litiga-
tion, although the majority can point out
violations of good taste and acts or indiscre-
tion, they are of the opinion that upon his
part there was no intentional violation of
his duty as a Judge, and no act or action
which furnishes good ground for impeach-
ment. The minority report of the commit
tee, signed by two members, was also pre-
sented, which declares that, while dissenting
from many of the conclusions of the ma
iority they concur in the opinion that the
impeachment of Judge Westbrook should
not be recommended. A second minority
report, signed by A. Chaplin and ]. E. Nor
rison, concludes the review of evidence as
follows:
''RcSOlOed, That Hon. Theodore r. West
brook, Justice OF the Supreme Court of this
State, be and hereby is impeached for NAL
feasance aud corrupt conduct in office"
K. A. Livingston concurs in the above,
but recommends that Judge Westbrook be
impeached for malconduct in office, the tes-
timony, in his opinion, not showing any
corrupt motives.

WASHINGTON, May Representative

spondent: "There was none nor is there any

actly as 1t was printed the next morning In
the papers here, and wished me to give him
authority to send it. told him the telegram
was perfectly correct, and If he saw
fit to send it on his own accord he could do
so, but that | did not wish it to go by
authority from me. l told him that, while

Independents and become their candidate,
yet could but treat such a recommends
tion as he (Mr. Speer) advised with that
respect and appreciation which was due to
so respectable pOdV of citizens, and those
whose good opiA6on and confidence | held
In so high esteem.
"The telegram which l so emphatically
denied was the one which was dated In At
lanta on the 18th inst. and sent to the Chi
cago Tribune, which has been published
generally in all the leading papers North
and South, stating in effect that l had
agreed TO accept the nomination OF
the coalition party in Georgia, consisting
of Republicans and Independents. | have
said, and do now repeat, that no such tele-
gram ever was sent By me to anybody or
authorized by me to be sent to anybody. !
