per 1.000 feet Is money thrown away.
We can't agrco with .lames tlordou.
On the contrary, wenro well settled in the
opinion that it would lie a piolllablo way
of Investing money If every householder

ot a coal oil lamp, occasioned a loss equal
to the co, t of nil tlio gas that was ever
consumed in tho State of illliiol", How
tho account would stand in in Cairo
we

Compare the Immediate outlays for the

to be cheaper at So jier 1,000 feet, than

Cincinnati, Apill 20. The Gazelle to
morrow morning will publMi an Inter
view with Mr. John C S. Ilairisoit of
Indianapolis. -Mr. Harrison makes tho
following statement:
"At the September, 1872, meeting ol
tlic board of directors ot the l.'nion Fa
eillc road, at which I was present, the
president of the board, Mr. Iloraco F.
Ciatk, called tho intention of the direc
tors ton letter Iioiii tiio president ot the
Fort Smith and Utile Rock Laud Grant
railroad with reference to some bonds of
that road held by tho Fnion Facille com
pany.
"Desiring to know something more
about these bauds, made a motion to
appoint a committee ot three to Investi
gate and report iietotu the adjournment
of tho board as to how they camu into
Its lios-es-lon. and all matters connected
theiewitb. Thereupon K II. Rollins.
tho secretary, took me to one tide and
told mo that 1 must withdraw that mo
tion, tor an investigation of tlio bond
transaction would involve James (1.
Itlalne. lie said the tall elections wero
near at baud, and Ulaiuc was a candi
date for re-election to congress lu Mait.".
An exposure oi the transaction jttstat
that time, would bo sure to defeat him.
With that I withdrew Iho motion. Sub
sequently. I took J. ii. Millard, ot Oma
ha, who was and still remains a govern
ment director, to .Mr. Rollins, and In ids
presence asked .Mr. Rollins if I under
stood lilui correctly in relation to the
bond transaction Involving Mr.
iilalue. He repeated that I did,
and that an investigation would bo
sure to kill oil' Mr. ltlaluo at the ap
proaching election. Afterwards, when
tlio Investigating committee, of which
Jeremiah M. Wilson was chairman, was
in session, and K. II. Rollins was on tho
stand. I telegraphed -Mr. Wilson to ak
tho witness certain questions concerning
the Fort Smith and Little Rock bonds,
but in noticing tho dally reports of the
committee, ntterwar.ls, 'I saw that no
such questions wero asked. On tho 3d
of February, 1S7.'I, I wrote to .Mr. Wil-on,
chairman ol tho committee, more fully
about tho matter, detailing the facts that
I have Just stated, but I did not mention
.Mr. Hlaln'.s name. I stated that the
transaction implicated a prominent nieiii
her of thu Republican paily. That letter
was copied Into my regular letter-book at
Indianapolis anil can be relerred to at auv
lime. I never received any answer to tlio
letter to Wilson, but, on thu 2Cth of Feb
ruary, just twenty-three days later, .Mr.
Delano, secretary or Iho Interior, wrote a
letter to a prominent Republican olllclal,
saying It was deemed best on tho part of
tho government to change the entire
board or directors of the Fnion Paelllo
railroad, and that ho thereloro proposed
to appoint some one from Indiana
in tho place of J. C. S. Ilarrl'on. This
proposition ol Delano mot with such
strong opposition that It was abandoned
and none of the directors wero removed.
Wo wero engaged at that time hi maklii"
an active light against the Wyomlu"
Coal Company, which was swindling the
Union Pacillu out of $500,000 or SfiOO.OOO
a year. If the. committee want that let
ter of Delano's they can Hud a copy of it
hi tlio Interior department. Hear in mind
that tills action on my pari as a govern
ment director, tho correspondence to
which I have referred, anil tho ellort on
tho part of Secretary Delano to have mo
removed from the board ot directors, oc
curred in 1S72 and early lu 1S7;J, just
about tho time of tlio rc-eleetlon of Presi
dent ftRint.nnd when neither Mr. Illalno
nor any other man was spoken or In con
nection with the presidency lu 1S70. It
Is therefore unreasonable to suppose that
anybody at that stage of the proceedings
was interested in defeating Mr.
Illaiue's presidential a-jilratlous. This

Wlillo pursuing these Investigations,

mttiids of Vermont, who was chairman
or this committee and laid all Iho facts

replied that the time of the committee
wa too shot t to warrant an extended ex
amination, ami nothing was done. After
Mr. Itoiitwell became secretary of the
treasury. Premier, w boat that lime had
rcllrid lioni the treasury department,
iiilorined him ol discoveries he had made
wldle clerk in this department, and the
secretary promised to Investigate tho

pointed a detective by secretary Hunt
well to work up these frauds, and want
ed ail the papers and evidence lio bad In
