Attorney General Iloherts gives it as his opinion that tin. Governor had no riiiht to loan the sehool funds. The tate had a right to loan the .sehool funds, through her Cotmnin Moners, hut uot the five per cent, fund. INVESTIGATION. seems to he the order ofthe day. The S ate hits now taken up the lints, anil proposes to go to the hottom of the matter. Mr. Sheldon offered a reeolution yeMerday as lol ows : ' Wkiikeas, 1 1 is currently report ed and puhliikly charged throughout this State, that one or mine of our Male ollieers have heen guilty oi fraudulent practices in regard to the sriiiioi luml ; and, whereas, a decent respect lor mi i. -elves and the wishe ol the people we repre.-elit, lequiies that the f..cts con lieeted with the al leged t rands s''ouhl he investigated ami inaile known, so that, if neeei-sa-ry, legal measure- may he le-ortcd to in the piemiMS, for the heller uiveM nieiit and sale ptotectton of the jiuhlic inonie.-, tin rent, A'cfolrcd, that the President of this hoiiy appoint a .select ronuniitee of ihrei-.wlio.se duty it shall he to in vesiigatessiid alleged ftatlds, and re port the .same Willi llicj.'-roiirhiHiiiij, at the eailitst moment ; and I hat said column lee have power to compel w iuie.-ses ami papers to he hroughl liefoiv them, to atluiinister oaths, ami to do a'l l hat is nerosary to earry m- lo elleei the letter ami spirit of this resolution." Parsed unanimously. The House at the Mime time have pas.-ed two ie,-oluuou.s, to inquire in t. t.ie Cohu tu elui-es and the correet ne or' the Lanu Ciniyuis'ioners' re ports, with the amount of land reailv .-old. THE RESULT. Hence all other matters pale he fore the Inquisition. The "liiiiuigrHtiou hill" ha stuck in Holland, the "Iteg-istry-Iaw" is forgotten, and the Heid-law" is turneil out to grass, until next lamliiug time. La-t evt ning we hat! the first ses fion of the grand high Court of INTERROGATING INVESTIGATION. We all assembled in the Senate chamher, and about eight o'clock the court "sat down." About now the Governor matte his appearance and quietly took a sent ; the Auditor, Mr. Gillespie, Gen. KMaLiook, a number of the "members," some itizens ami Roy," were on ham! to see the tiling out. The luminous eyes o; "i-oLster" shone from behind Col. Crti, se, 's desk, the Tribune man was there, and your own leporter. Judge Dundy came in to see fa r play. Kx ecietary Kenuard looked into the door, but concluded it was not his funeral, just yet ami left. The ses sion is called to order, cigars are thrown away, and the agony begins. TESTIMONY OF WITNESSES TAKEN rURSUAN'l TO TIIE RESOLUTION OF THE SENATE. A C. Tichviior, is called and sworn to tell the truth, the whole truth, and all he knows about the business. His eyes scintilate under the as-light, and his diamonds ibc-h in the face of the Gram! inquisitor, Judge Has Call. who asks: Q Your name, age and place of residence? A. Hti' and live in Lincoln. Are you -acquainted with the Gov ernor, Auditor and Treasurer of this ijlaseV I am. Have you had any dealings with them in their official 'capacity in le ganl to the School Fund of Nebraska it so, what? T made an application to all three asCommissioueis, for a loan of $10.00(1 about July. 1S70. The Aunitor con sented under certain conditions; af terwards the Governor gave his con sent : I leceived as such loan $0,000. State amount of seeuiity given, and the kind. The security was a mortgage on the Ticheimr House and a stone busi-ne-g house, adjoining Ticheimr House grounds ; the amount expn ss ed in the moitgage Was $10 OoO, aud m wife was a partner in the loan. State thfc conditions on which you obtained that loan? lieing in tit'eat want. of fundi, r of fered Mr. Brock a bonus of $1,0.10 to secuie the loan. Stale what knowledge the Govern or oi Auditor had of,the bonus? I have no reason to think that they knew of the bonus at all. State whether ou drew out ofthe State Trca-ury the $10,t)U0, or wheth er you only drew $9,000, anil left the bono- theie? When I gave the securities, T got a paper showing that I had secured the School Fund tor $10,000, and that I was entitled to draw that much from the State funds. Rv whom wa-t this paper signed ? Rv Mr. Brock as Deputy Treasurer. I think. At that time then- were $3 - 500 reported on hand, about. That amount was credited to nieoti this pa-lu-r ami denosited to my account in the bank. 1 think $500 was paid as interest on the loan at that time. State the total amount j-ou drew on that paper? Some tune after that, (about thirty days) I made a settlement with Mr. Brock for tlu $0,00.1, giving my check fin $1 OIK). Was that check deducted from the $10,000? It was, I understood. The amount actuallv received by me was only $9, 000. Thi'iondiiloas were in writing, ami were, as above stated, and also re quired that th said propertj' should be free and clear from all incumbran cer. What farther had the Auditor to do with that loan? . - - Nothing fun her tomy knowledge. How far did the Governor know of this?" The Governor requested the Attor ! uey Gcnaral to examine the securities BROWNVILLE, NEBRASKA, and if the Attorney General thought they were ample, he would give his consent to the Joan. What did the Aforney General do In the premises? He examined the titles and records to the property, and drew up the bo..d and mortvage securing the loan. As the securities were ample, the Governor had no more to do with it Dnl the Auditor or the Governor sign any more papers? I think not no. To whom were these securities de livered? To Mr. Brock. Did you then get the money? After several davs I think I receiv ed the money. The stone building fell down after the loan was obtained. The building was not completed at the time of the loan. The 'lichenor House was completed, except aonie graining and varnishing inside. What incumbrances, it any, exist ed on thv Tichetiur House at the time of the loan? Two mortgages, one for $4,000 to Thos. Bristol, and one for $1,500 to the same party. No mechanic leins filed then. Some have been filed since to the amount of $4,000, proba bly, but a large number of these were or woik done on the building which fell down, and I don't consider them valid leina against the Ticheuor House. What knowledge did the Governor, Auditor, or Deputy Treasurer have of the.-e ineuinbiances when they made this loan? No leins were on thebtiildings then. The inortg ge.- weie on record. They probably knew of them. The liens have mostly been tiled within thirty duys. Do von know that the Governor or Treasurer recti ved any patt of that $1,000? I understood that the deputy, Mr. Brock, was acting for Mr. Sweet. Mr Sweet was not present at anv of these transactions, or gave any direction in writing. The business was transact ed :it the banking house of Sweer & Brock in Lincoln. Don't know where the Treasurer's oilice wsis, but sup pose this was it. My bank account wa- overdrawn at the time of the loan probably $:-i.OO0. A large portion ot the wood work in the house which ell down has been buined up for kindling, and some was used tor a barn, and the Moue has been sold to iliil'eieiil parlies round town. I paid up my bank account at the tfnc ot the Iomi. The wo.knieii got most of the proceeds ofthe house which fell down. The Governor, by consent of the committee, asked Mr. Ticheuor some questions. Gov. State what the property was worth when the loan was given. A. The property has cost nearly $35.0(10. J would not have sold it for that, in cash, before the stone house oil down. Bv Mr. Haskell What was the land or lots worth exclusive of the buildiims? A. r paid $1,700. The chief value ol the pioperty eousiste I in the im piovemeuts. The building that fell down was valved at $7 000. The loan was for five years, and the interest ten percent., to be paid semi annu ally m advance, The house stood in the name of Amanda F. Tichenor t lie other in my own. The testimony was then read to Mr. Ticheimr, and, being pronounced cor rect, was sinned "Anson C. Tiche nor, i'cson 0 Brock. Sworn, says he is "J7yeaisold. and resides in Lincoln ; hear pail of Tichenor's testimony ; I was deputy Treasurer, and the one referred to in that testimony. Tiche imr came to me ami desired a loan, and -aid he had the consent of the Governor and Auditor. I told him as far as I was concerned I would do all I could to help him get the mon ey. As Mr. Sweet was a candidate for Trcasuier again. I would not use bis name in any way or form, hut he could get consent of the other par ties. I think this was the second State loan ever made. There was no form or order of application evei made. The first loan was made on a verbal application by the party, and the Governor came down and told me it was all right, and he got the mon ey on a bond ami moitgage. (It was the Cailmatr loan). I thought in this instance, not wishing Mr. Sweet's name to figure in it, that we would have some written form ami order for application. Iwioteouta mem. for Mr. Tichenor, ami told htm to get .-time one to put it in proper shape a an order. I think he said the Audit or was opposed to loafflng him the money; that he (the Auditor) want ed to put it into "geneial fund war-raK.t-." I told Tichenor it was nec-e-sary he should have an order from the Auditor as well as the Governor : they constituted a majority of the board. I think lie first paper pn -sented was an application written b the Auditor, ami signed "A. ,C. anil Amanda Tichenor." On the hack of that application was an order some thing like this ; "James Sweet. Treasurer, or N. C. Brock, Deputy Tieasurer, will loan to A. (. and Amanda Ticheuor $10, 000 when the Slate indebtedness is provided for. Signed John Gillespie, Auditor." The next paper was an order from the Governor to the same effect, ex cept no nieiit ion was made of the denledness of the Suite. I could say as the Auditor ever came to me. The Governor came to see ln not se me atiout it. ami wanted to know what I thought about il. (This was previ ous to his order.) I told him that the Tichenor building was helping to build up the town and i saw no cause why he should not have the money. The Governor said "Tichenor was a ood fellow, spent his monev here, and it would help him along." I presume after this Tichenor got the tinier trom the Governor. When he came with his order. I told him he inuslhave the Attorne General draw up the papers, and gel an "abstract," and he did so. It was a "boiiii aud mortgage and abstract ot title." In order to cut oft" aniod else, we would charge up the l0 000 to the Stale, ami I gave him a dm bill for the amount, signed ". O Brock for Sweet & Brock; or N ( Brock. Deputy Treasurer." I don'i know which now, and endorsed on the back of the due bill S3.0o;i mid placed it to the credit of A. C. Tich enor on the bank books of Jam Sweet Brock, -md I think Mr. T. gave me a check for $500 on J. s. & B.. for which I gave him a State Treasurer's receipt, being for six months' interest on $10,000 loaned Mr. T. by the State; (and here I made a mistake in charging Mr. T. in advance and in making such a mem. to that effect on the Governor's or der.) Some time after that I gave Mr. T. credit on the books of J. S. & THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1871. B.. for $7,000. I had the mortgage recorded when given. The Governor was particular about having the buildings insured, and the policies payable to the State of Ne braska By Hnecall Who furnished you the description of the property' to be mortgaged to secure this loan? Brock asks questions back and Hascall objects sparring. A. Mr. T. furnished an abstract, made out by Seth Robinwtn. At or ney General, ami it drscribed the property. There was a verbal umler stamiing between the Governor and myself about the security besides this paper. Mr. Beecher, an insurance a-ent, had insured the buildinc for $12 000 in two policies. I am inform ed that Mr. Beecher left one of these policies, with one of our clerks, to he delivered to me to be held for the State. I made a fizzle in trying to endorse onepolicy iiinl tore it up. Another one was written. One poli cy was taken out ami cancelled by demand of Mr. Beecher, the insur ance agent. No policy was put in place of it. An application was made to Mr. Boggs, my partner in the in- fturnnce business, to write out a policy for $5,000, and he asked me, as his partner in tiie insurance business, whether or not he should write the policy. I told him I would ; some body must pay for it. Tiie policy was written and held till the end of the month. The Governor said he was too hard up to pay fur it, as the pre mium wa-. $150. At the end of the month Mr. Boggs went to see the Governor, who approved of drawing a warrant for the premium, but the Auditor refused to draw it, as there was no funds to draw on. The Gov ernor then saitl he would be down ami see me about the insurance; saitl what he would like to do was. foi each one of us to pay one-third tu" that amount. I told him I would pay my third it the rest would. No arrangement being effected, ami as it was time to make Our report. I told Mr. Boggs to send the policy home and cancel it. Q. Was the policy, when surren dered, among the securities of the State? A. It was in the safe of James Sweet & Block. Q. :Did you or did you not receive a bonus of $1,000 on account of that loan ? A About the time Tichenor spoke to me of getting some State money, he said to me that if I would help him get that money, ho would give tne$5-.0 make me ji present of $500. I told him I did not want his money; would tio all I could for him without money. He said it was nobody's bu siness if he choose to' give me $500. I told him I did not wa t his money and would have nothing to do with it. Sometime after I met him on the .-treet near Quick's saloon. He told im he had the Governor all right, and would make that $1,000 to me. I told him I did not want his money. When, the papers were fixed up and I paitl lii m the $-7.000, die gave me ji check on J. S. & B. Tor $1,000. At the same time he was 'owing J. S. & B. between $325 and $300, which I told him I would make him a present of. I cannot say how Tichenor's bank account stood when the loan was matie. come ami see me hooks ; I would take great pleasure in show ing you the books. Brock refuses to tell his private business, ami tell if he received any money or monies as a prcsttit about that time, from psir ties to whom School money was loan ed ; hut says ' as State Deputy Treas urer I did not " Mr. Brock said, of his knowledge the State officers did not get any of the $1. 000 received from Tichenor. Q. Did you receive from any of the parties making the loan, any monies as an agent or Attorney ? A. No, sir. I did not; neither as an :igent. State Treasurer or attorney, I did not. Q. Did you in any capacity receive any money in compensation for mak ing :i loan? A. No, sir, I did not. Q Hjis any person getting n loan left any money with you which has never been taken back ? A. As Deputy Treasurer there has not; as a banker, there has. Col. C-iopsey has some, and left some mon ey which has never been taken hack. "q. Are you aide to state whether Gv. Butler knew that you got $1,- 000 of Tichenor at tli time you re ceived the same? A. Only through the papers. The Ilrrald saitl Butler and my.-elf got it. It was now 12 o'clock, and the com mittee adjourned until to-morrow at 1 o'clock, ami Mr. Brock's examina tion will be continued to-morrow ev ening. Lincoln, Wednesday, Feb. 1. John Gillexpie, State Auditor, sworn I objected to loaning the school lunds on real estate seeuiity. The act called for warrants. Mr. Sweet endorsed this move, ttitit wjis oppose 1 to loaning the money on real estate security. MR SWEET'S LETTER TO TIIE AUDITOR. "Nebraska City, Mm eh 23, '70 Dear Sir lam in receipt of your favor of the 22d tiist., aud I entirely agree with you in regard to investing the "permanent school fund" in gen eial warrant funds. I have from the tir.st been opposed to loaning on indi vidual security. By all means, Use the money to keep up the Slide's credit. Redeem the ha a nee of the "militia bunds, and then take the geneial fund warrants. Yours. &c, James Sweet:" A. C. Tichnor applied tor a loan. T. urged it. and wanted a form drawn up. I drew one up as follows : FORM OF APPLICATION. Office State Auditor. "I Lincoln, July 21st, 1870 J Hon. David Butler, Gov: James Sweet, Treasuier; John Gillespie, Auditor. Gentlemen Com missoners to in-ve-t principal of School Lanti monies. We hereby make application to you Torthe loan of $10,000 to be secured on real estate in the city of Lincoln, iiiencumbeted ; ami would respect fully request that as soon as you have aecured and provided for the outstand ing indebtedness of the State, you will favorably consider this applica tion, (Signed) Anson C. Tichenor. Amanda Tu henor. I wanted the State indebtedness. paid myself, first A few.,.days after Tichenor b ought me Gov. Butler V order, (published fn Hall's report) and asked me to act upon it. I then wrote to Mr. Sweet as follows : Office of State Auditor, 1 . JjIncoln. Jat.. 21. 1870. 2Ton James Sweet. Treasurer ; or AV C. Mrock. Dep. Treasurer: You will please loan to A. C. Tiche-j nor and Amanda Tichenor, as an- in.-, vestment, School funds to the amount of $10,000, when the outstanding in debtedness will have been provided for. and the School funds in your hands will justify the same. ' ', Governor. -, Treasurer John Gillespie, Auditor. When I handed it to Teehenor, I told him lie would get no money on that, as. when the State indebtedness was paid, there would be no funds to loan. I had no knowledge of the examin ation of titles, or the insurance busi ness, and was not aware that Tiche uor got the money until I saw the notice in the Omaha paper-). I never approved of the loan, aud as Commis sioner it was never presented to me. Mr. Boggs brought the Insurance lull of $150 to me, approved by the Gov ernor, and I refused to sign the rame because there was "no law to pay the same." The laV provided for insuring pub lic buildings, but not private build ings, aud this was not u Slate build ing. He then wanted me to pay one third of the insurance. I replied I had enough to pay off my own debts. The difficulty of keeping the books by the first plan of investment was great, therefore the second plan of loaning the School funds was adopt ed. The Commissioners, from time to time, passed on the loans here given here follows all the loans pub lished on Tuesday, except the 'Teehe nor Loan,' whic'i the Auditor does not consider a "loan," as he never knew of it. The foregoing loans were made with the consent of the entire Board. About this time I again wrote to Mr. Sweet about the 19th November. second letter to sweet. Mr. Sweet, Nebraska City In the preparation of bonds for the loan of permanent school funds exercise your best judgn e it in passing upon real estate offered the State as securi ty, and on property not ample or in cumbered, or title in question, that may be offered, reject the same, &c. and I as one of the committee will sustain you. John. The only mistake the Commission ers made was, the loans were too large, but that could not be avoided by the law. The loans with the exception of the "Tichenor loan" are all well secured. I have not directly, or indirectly, re ceived any money, or consideration in money, or otherwise, for any loan made from the School Fund nor has any person or pessons, either directly or indirectly, offered me any consid eration. Neither was I aware that any member of the Board did so re ceive money for such loans made. NOW FOR LYMAN FROST. I do not kilow when the first appli cation Was made, the first news came to me through Sweet or Brock that Frost wanted a loan, an application came to me signed by Mr. Foster the security being good, I signed the same. The applications for money Were numerous. McPherson was very solicitous ; wanted $5000; the other Commis sioners were not favorable to his ap plication. I, knowing his circum stances', a'hd believing him worthy, advised him to apply for a lessamount. He never received anv loan from the Stiite. The most of these loans, by agreement of the Board, Mr. Sweet being a conveyancer,- examined afid passed on their securities,, and the Board accepted his approval as suffi cient. tichenor's stories. Tichenor has said he never got hut $6 000 or $7,000. ami the State officers got the rest. Adjourned until eve ning. JSxamimxtion resumed Went over the Co! ."Taylor business i h'eretofoie published) about two weeks before" the State Convention. Sweet told me we would have o take mortgages for $10,000, as the Governor had used the money, ami he was afraid the State would lose it. Sweet was ap plied to by Gov. Butler for a loan. The mortgages are filed January 7th, 1H71. Thinks the mortgages arc in the hands of Gov. Butler. Q. How. and where did you exam ine the mortgages that j'ou s:iy Gov ernor Butler has? A. I saw them in the hand of Mr. Koenig. State Treasurer, last Friday They arc in his hands for safe keep ing, being brought there by the (inv ernor, with the request that Mr.RToe nig would explain the whole business transaction. (In reference to sending them down to Pawnee County, to be recorded, and withdrawing them.&c.) There was a transfer made of $0,000 from the "School Fund," to the "Building Fund," temporarily, to pay contractors for labor on State buildings, as the sale of lots would come off in a few days. By 'consent of the Commissioners thip transfer was made, and has how been return ed. THE DAILF.Y BUSINESS. Dailey did make an application for $5(10. and wanted it increased to$l.(i00. Kefered to Sweet, of Nebraska City, and was entered on Brock's books its "Wm. Dailey's $500, probably;" The reason wjis that there w.-ls only $58 550 in the treasury. I stated to Dai ley these facts ; Dailey said lie did not want it if lie could not get $1,000, to pay off a mortgage on his farm. Prof. Beols was reported to have re ceived $1,000. (probably); he never tiled any mortgage, and I spok to Mr. Brock about it. The matter Was then fixed, as I understood it, and he did get $1,150. BROCK AGAIN. Nelsou Brock was brought in, and asked for time before he gave any more evidence. Finally, heal-solute-ly refu-ed to be sworn, and said "he wanted to consult and attorney." This was refused by the committee. He said he would testify to-morrow at 4 o'clock. The committee finally let him go until they could lay the matter before the Senate, but inform ed Mr. B. that he would probably be sent for the next day by an officer. Jiobrt D. Silver, Sworn Is 28 years old ; resides at Lincoln, and by occu pation a builder; knows A. C Tiche nor; knew of the loan; was tend by richenor that he got $10,000 by giving $1,000 to N.C. Brock, and $1,000 to Gov. Butler. Before this, he (Ticho nor) had published a letter with my nahle to it as one of the managers in his (Jift Enterprise. In Novcrnber I nuhlished a letter declining to have f auvthing further to do with it. Tichenor came to see me', and asked me if tl e Governor was not at the bottom of these parties all withdraw ing from his scheme. It was durirg this conversation he told me about the Tichenor loan. Adjourned until to-morrow. The conduct of Mr. Brook, In refus ing to testify, is condemned, and many area of the opinion th.at he ought to' have been arrested for con tempt when he told Hascall it was VOL. 15.-N0. IT, noneof his-busiuess, to inquire into his (Brock's) private affairs. Deputy Treasurer Brock having refused to answer some of the ques tions put' by the Senate Committee was arrested by order ofthe Senate on Wednesday, and kept in the custody ofthe Serge-nt-of-arms for some time. On the assembling of the Committee he was brought in atid testified as fol lows concerning the Frost and other hums : Lyman Frost owed Sweet & Brock 54,000 when he came to me for the loan. When the Governor was ap plied to he said he Was afiaid of a fuss, as S. ct B. had. A great many appli cations for money were made in the fall of 1870. Jaines Sweet & Brock applied for $15,000 for five years, in three amounts of S5,t)00f each, secured by three mortgages ot $5,000 each. The order was signed hy all the mem bers (i. e, Sweet himself one) ordering Use loan. A great many parties com plained that they could not. get any ofthe money, fhe mortgages were not recorded. Q. Were the mortgages put in the State Treasury? A. They were in our hands as James Sweet & Brock. (I. Were these mortgages in their hands as bankers? A. I can only say they were in the hands of Sweet & Brock. I told them we had made out our mortgages to the State. Mr. Frost came to me for money, hut previously I had told Walsh & Putnam they could huve some, as we had $15,000, and did not want so much. If they did not take it, another would. Tney did not. I sent word to Frost, and told him that if he could get an order from theGov ernorand Auditor he could have the money, provided he would pay us what he owed us ; but it would cost him 14 or 15 per cent. Wre had exe cuted our mortgage, and it cost us 10 percent. He now Was paying uh 24 per cent., and he had better take some of the money and pay us diller ence about $l,5i)0. I told him to call it $1,1.0 , aud I would make out his papers and get him a loan. Q. What was done witli the $15, 000 mortgages? are they now in exist ence? A. They are in the possession of Jas. Sweet & Brock, with the names cut out. The Frost transaction was about December 1,1870; cannot say about cancellation or the insurance on the Tichenor House ; paid some money back to Tichenor. Q. Will yoinsay upon your oath that Governor Butler did not receive any bonus on the Tichenor loan? A. I believe i.e got $1,000. Q. State your reasons? Frofii conversations with manv per sons, and Hie Governor. "Tichenor aud others. I spoke to Butler; he smiled, aud said it was all right; said Ticliehor was a rascal, and would complicate :iny man that had deal ings with him. From jokes that pass ed between the Governor and my self I am satisfied he got at least $1, 0:)0. Since theirI have been in his office, and lie told me, "I-or God's sake don't admit you received any money on the Tichenor loan." 1 have no reason that T can back up. that any other person got any money from this loan. THEBEALS BUSINESS. The Governor and Beals gave a joint note for the money. I told the Governor that he would have to pay the note of Beals, unless he got Beats a loan ; I told him we were secure, and it was his "fix up." TFor the $17,000 Brock referred the Committee to his oriner report, now before the House As JamcS Sweet & Brock, Levi Snell paid us the same as Frost did. $700. J. M. Young paid u8 $100. Tin se are all from whom we received anything. The Committee then adjourned. Tip-Top.

At a meeting of the Republican Ex ecutive Committee last night, it was decided, after conference with active and thoughtful members of the party to. discontinue proceedings in tho Third District Congressional election case. The Committee were led to this conclusion by the appointment of Gen. Pchenck to the British mis sion, and by the fact that the passage of the bill leceding the jurisdiction of. the Soldiers' Home to the State of Ohio will accomplish the main object of the party iti making the contest.. Gen. Sclicnek hi nisei t declined Horn the beginning to make any contest' for any other purpose than to vindi cate the right of the veterans to vote, and we feel at liberty to publish that lie declared that If Col. Campbell should be ousted by n vote of the Hoiit-e, and the seat was awarded to him, he would promptly resign it. His language upon the subject ofthe contest, when the subject was first broached was prompt, etnphhtio and decisive. The Committee, after can- vassing the subject fully, but without., consulting Gen.Schenck, unanimous ly, as we understand concluded to drop the matter. So that L. D.

The editor of the Cincinnati Gazette, writing from Washington says: "A gentleman is" here who had an interview with An drew Johnson a ffv days ago. He stopped at Greenville, :ind was called upon ly Johnson. Since his fall this man had not spoken to the ex-l'iesi-ilent, but the latter having called he treated him respectfully. He says Johnson is greatly distressed in mind. He lias been cut by the rebels on all bands, and In does not hesitate to de nounce the Democratic party of tho South as a party of traitors. My in formant says that Johnson would gladly get back into the Republican party if he could see any way through which he could pass." We have seen statements similar to this before, but scarcely as specific in detail. It would seem that Johnson is controlled chief ly, in his political associations, by tho readiness of the one party or the oth er to compliment him with its admir ation and with office. Having failed to receive the support from the De mocracy for which lie bid when lie betrayed the Keptiqlican party, he ap parently t-tamls ready to again re pudiate Democracy. I?ut Iteptfbll caiis will scarcely be deceived by ii second pretended conversion, ami so he will probably he permitted to-ipend the remainder of his days in merited obscurity, distrusted, despised by both parties.
