As the committee have never notified or re-

my books or private correspondence, the result
of the investigation, except upon the hypothesis
that the committee are destitute OF truth and

facts stated in the minority report, that the wit
nesses desired by the minority were not sub-

SENATOR HARRISON.

How He Resented an Attack ON the Char

Special to the indianapolis Journal.

postof6ce hurriedly, and made serious charges
against the postmaster, Mr.. Shaw Holman had
c. O. Thiebaud's name sent in for the place and
urged his immediate confirmation on the ground
that the aforesaid charges had been prepared
against Shaw. Senator Harrison concluded to
interrogate the plausible Judge. and got from
him the substance of the charges, and knowing
Mr.. Shaw to be man of unimpeachable integ-
rity, called for an explanation. Figures and
facts were promptly forwarded by Mr.. Shaw,
with al affidavit Of Griffith, who had examined
the accounts, that the charges were false. Mr.
Shaw's term expired about the LIST Of April
and this disinterested friendship Of Griffith
was given as reason why Thiebaud should be
confirmed. Senator Harrison informed the willy
Judge that unless Thiepauds name was with
drawn and Shaw reappointed it would be his
duty to resist the confirmation to the last for he
could not, under any circumstances. become a
party to such an infamous conspiracy THE
bard's name was withdrawn, and sent in again
yesterday.
