Garfield, Henry' L.' Dawe.s and tlm other Con gressinerj. wlipe names had Jien men-l tinned in connection with the charges. Tlie part of the reort whicTi relafes to Gen. Garfield nnd the last' mentioned Congressmen is as follows: TUe,.copimitttcQjlo not find that either of the. above named gentlemen,, in contracting with Mr. Ames had any! corrupt motive or jTur'ibv or waR aware that Mr.t Ames had any nor -did either of them suppose that' be was, guilty of anv impropriefy or evpn in delickc in becoming a- purchaser of i.. tliis stock.

The committee find nothing in the conduct of, ei'her of these members? in taking this stock that calls for any condemnation by the coinmitteo. In regard to the Salary Qrab, it is true that General Garfipld voted for it, as.did Sneaker Rantlali, Lyman Trum bull, Dan Voorhies and other leading Democrats all ofwhom (except Gar- fieldnot only voted for the bill,bu(af- terwardspotketedtlietnoneyand kejitil; but'the'circumstances under which Gar field void for the bill wfra ak'follows: --Ik ThoSalary Grab was put on to theLegis lative Appropriation bill a's an amend tueut by General Butler, seven days bfore tlie.adjournnipnt.of Congrp.s) in the Spring of 4 873.

That statement buried the slander until the! preseutjjiiie. Concerning the DeGolyer pavement, a Coiigre.ssioiiul Committee thoroughly examined into the- whole matter, at, I which time UeneaJ Garfaeld ajipeared. uetore the cowroittee apd told the wliole storyhimself, and the truthful ness of his story was fully borne, out y Uie evidence of numerous witnesses and has never been questioned. He hhiil: "A dayf or two before the adjourn va 'nt of die Congress which adjourned in the lattet part of May or the first part of June, 132, Riih'ard C. Par sons, who was a practii-ing lawyer in .-.eveiacu, uut was then f,he flUrsbal of tne. Supreme Cour$, and ld iac-j quaintance of mine, canie td 'and said that he was ca.lmli uiarily by uiijwrUnt busiritl was retatucu in a case oil dJjj I thing remainfng tglmdpnMKnke a brief of the relative mwits ofalarce number of wooden pavements; that the Board, ofPublfc Works had agreed .that they would put down a certain amount if wooden pavement in the city, a certain amonnt of concrete, and a certain amount pf other kinds of pavement; that they liad fixed the price at which they would put down each of tho different kinds, and that the only thing eftiaitin was 'to determine which was the best pavement of each of these sgveral kinds. He said he should lose his fee uuless the brief on the merits of these payments wa- made and that he warsudilenly and necevsa rify called away from home, and he asked me to prepare the brief He brought his papers to my house and modpls of the pavement. I told him I could not look at the case until the end of the Mm-iifiu. When Congress ad journed I sat. down to prepare the case in the most open nninner; as I would prepare a brief for the Supreme Coutt and woiked upon this matter. There were peihais forty kinds of wootl pavement, and several chemical nnah ses of the ingredients of the different pavements; I went over the whole ground carefully and' thoroughly, and prepared a brief on' the i dative claims qf these pa oineuts for the considera tion of the Board. That was all I did. I had nothing, to do with the terms ol the. contract; I knew nothin ' of its conditions, and I never had a word to fayaWut thn price of the paxement. I. know nothing about it; I, simply made a brief upon the relatii e me its of the various patent pavements; ami it no more occurred to me that the tiling 'I was doing had relation to a .ring, or to a tiody of men connected .with any scheme, or in any way con nected with Congress, or related in any way to any of my duties in, connection w'ith the Committee on Appropriations, than it occurred lo me that it was in terfering with your"jersoiial rights ns a citizen. I pre paied the brief nnd went home. Mr. Parsons subsequent ly sent me a portion of his own fee, A year latter, when the affairs of the District of.C'olumbia came to be over hauled, Congress became satisfied that the government of the District had better be aliolishpd, and this whole matter was very thoroughly itn estiga ted by a committee of the two Houses. They went into the question of the - merits of this payment, some claiming that it was bail, and some claiming that the Government had paid too much for it. Mr, Chittenden was called as a witness. I ought to say here that I never caw .Mr, Chittenden uptil about the time I made the brief; I did'nof know Mr. DeGolyer and Mc CTelfinifljl would not know them on the street; I alii nbt aware that I ever daavMn Nickerwni before; and if any body 'in this business had any Scheme relating t me, it was never mentioned tOiuein the remotest .way. ft ifever kugge'sted'to ma that this- matter could relate (o mv duties as a, nipmber of Copgyesfcin any way" whate.vpr.

Hon. Geo. W. Steele: W1 " Dear Sjr To the request for infor malion as to whether or not the actiod of Gen Garfield, in coiinectioii.with thd all'airs of the District of Columbia, was the subject of condemnation' T. by tho committee that recently had those af fairs under consideration, I answer thit it. was not; nor was thero. inimp opinion, au evidence that wq.uld hava warranted any unfavorable crititisttj upbn Kisicohduct. " . " The fact disclosed by the evidence so far as he is concerned are briefly thee: 1 lie "Board of Public Works' wad considering the quttti n as to the kiuil of pavements that snould belaid, There" was a contest as to the respective, merits of arious wooilen pavements. Mr. Parsons represented, ' as attorney, the DeGolyer Jt McClelland patent and being called away from Wah'ingl ton about the time the hearing, .was' to be had before the Board of, Publio Works on this subject, procured Gen. pral Garfield to uppear before "the' Board in his s(pad and argue the merits' of this patenL This he did, and lua was the whole of h'5 connection, .in. the matter. It was not a qumiogj A to tlm kind of contract that sho"uUT,'ie made, but as to Whether thl particular kind of pavement should be laid. The criticism of the committee was not. up. on the pavement in favor of whith General Garfield argued, but was upon the contract made with reference to iS nnd there wasno evidence which would warrant the conclusion that he liad anything to do with the latter. Very Respectfully, etc., J. M. Wilson.0' "I want to say further that4 3f any body in the world holds that my feerit, connection with this pavement, ri by suggestion or implication, had any relation whatever to any appropriation lj Congress for am thing connected! with this Jlfstricr, or with anything else, it is duo to me. it is due to this committee, and it is due td Congress, that that person be snnirnbiied. I thero be a man on thise th who uuxkea such a charge, that man is th most in famous perjurer that lives, and I'should be glad to confront hinr anywhere itf this world. I am quite sur'this eera nlittee will not allow hearsay and, cpni tindictory testimony to rais? a pre sumption against me. Now' I will say ver frankly to tlie committee that 'if I had known or imaginetl that there was an intent, such as tins witness insinu ates, on the part' of anybody, that my employment by a brother lawyer to prepare a brief on a perfectly legitimate; question a question of the "relative merits of certain lawful patents had any connection whatever, or any sup posed connection in the mind of any man, with my public duties, p certain ly would have taken no such' engage ment. I would have been a weak and very foolish man to have done do, nnd. trust that gentlemen who know ms will lielieve that I would a", least havo had too much respect fur my own am lition to have done such a thing."
