als Examination Before the senate Com.
mIttSe Continued.
WASHINGTON, D, O., April 1.-THE
Senate Committee resumed the examlna.
ton Of Commissioner Black to-day. sena.
tor Plumb called up the case OF Lleuten.
ant Jesse Eastwood, Of the Tweuty-second
Kentucky Volunteers. General Black
having examined the papers, said in re-
ply to Senator Plumb. that the claimant's
regiment was mustered in the thirty.day
service. Twenty days later the claimant
was allowed to 90 home on account OF i'll.
ness, where he remained until mustered
out. He was never In action, never in
the presence OF the enemy and never
slept ont OF doors but one night. The
records Of the AdjutRnt General and Sur.
geon Generals offices showed no record
OF any disability. The claim was not fled
until 1850.
Among the papers in the case was a
letter written by man named Ewing, OF
CAttlettshurg, KY, to General j. S, VII.
lilms, then n Senator, urging speedy
action on tho case. The letter concluded:
'By giving him this assistance YOU will
favor one Of your warmest friends in
past contests" General Williams en-.
dorsed the letter: ~ hope the Commis-
sloner OF Pensions will make this q special
case"
General Black stated that there was ab-
solutely no valid evidence in support Of
the claim, and that the $4,000 might as
we'll have been allowed flor any other
character Of fraud. He stated his under.
standing was that Ewing was strong
partisan, but in reply 10 series OF search.
ing questions by Senator Plumb said that
there was nothing in the record to show
whether living and the claimants were
Republicans or Democrats, or that the
knowledge Of their politics ever reached
the Pension office, nor was there any evil
dence that the letter Of Ewing with Gen.
Williams endorsemsntavsr went beyond
the mail division Of the Pension Office, or
that II influenced the decision upon the
case. During the progress Of the inquiry
there weTs several controversies be.
tween the members OF the com.
mittee as TO the scope and courso
Of the investigation. The majority OF the
members maintained that the proceedings
should be confined 10 an examination Of

the Hurd.Romeis contested election case.
Mr.. Hall, Of Iowa, thought that as far as
the charge Of bribery, made by the con.
testaut, was concerned, the verdict to be
arrived at from study, Of the evidence,
must be the Scotch verdict OF mot
proven" but It was clearly shown in one
or two precincts the laws Of Ohio had been
violated, and in one instance intimidation
had been restored to on behalf Of Isomeis,
he had come to the conclusion that there
had been no legal election in the Tenth
district ol Ohio.
Mr.. Ely, Of Massachusetts,, supported
the claims OF Mr.. Romeis and his speech
was supplemented by Mr.. Hopkins, Of
Illinois, while Green, Of North Carolina,
devoted his remarks TO denurciation OF
the Republican side Of the House
for deciding election cases on party
grounds.
Mr.. Hurd spoke in his own defense and
when he had finished be was greeted with
long continued applause on the floor and in
the galleries. The vote was first taken
on the resolution Of the minority which
declares that Jacob Romeis is not entitled
to his seat. This was defeated. Yeas 1C5
