SAN FRANCIS co, Jan. 12.-The EG-
Gnai11er will publish tomorrow a
startling statement respecting the
immense sum Of 100000, which
Huntington, in his New York depos-
ition. acknowledged to having paid
out, for which be held no vouchers, nor
could he under oath tell what became
of the money, except that he paid it
to agents and attorneys. 1t gives a
tabulated statement of how, in 1876,
he expended $4,000, presumably
fighting Scott's Texas Pacific road.
In 1873 he expended 100000, of
which no explanation is attempted.
The Examiner concludes that as the
house is democratic an investigation
is imperative.
