The report of the alniddy comimtieu bu oeueede great
AmU of couiraotn u in political clrclee here,and ban
Brought about several s-u'dtn departures from the State
capital id rather a hurriea "uannor The report eontatns
twelve hundred pagea of tustiuiony and two hundred of
report. I made a short synopsis of the report last
night, giving some of the cream of it, and delivered
it at the telegraph office In person, at eleven
oeiock P. M.. but was informed by the operator this morntag
that it was not sent, owing to the fact that there waa
no person at the New York office to receive it while the
Associated Press report was coming over the wire. Tins
Is the third or fourth time that important despatches of
sine have been crowded out by the same cause this
wmter. While they pretend to acoommodate the public,
ths very time that the moat important matters are to be
sent, they fail to get through because the telegraph company
dwnot have men in ths New York office to re
caive them.
The report and testimony are decidedly rich
to many particulars. It commences with the
famous contract with Brooks Brothsrs, showing
eaeloslvely that ths Board "wont it blind'' on that
hneiaeee. The State Treasurer (Dnrshoimsr), it appears,
entered into an engagsmsnt to obaugs the contract, and
igned an agreement with Brooke Brothcre to take satinet
ti place of army cloth, and the Board ratified it without
Mading it or knowing what was in it, as far as
any of them could remember, showing a looseness in
this transaction and a sort of confidence after the style of (
Hammings, of the World. Porsheiinsr, although empowered
to make contracts and attend to matters genotaBy,
testifies that he knew no more about cloth than he ,
Aid how Herrmann, the magician, perfoimed hie tricks;
and yet he managed to receive presents of two edk
Areesee?one from Brooks brothers, which the agent of 1
that firm test.floe he paid thirty-five dollars for. Here
la tome of Doreheimer'a testimony apropos to thispoiut:?
During Mr. Dorsbeimer's examination the following in- .
terrogaioriee ware put and answers given, which your 1
omn.ittec submit without comment ?

occurs ?

It will be seen by that testimony that Dorshoimor j |
swoars that he has paid for all tbo goods that he attain- i
Od at Brooks Brothers', yet the members of that firm
testify that he never paid for any, and shew an account {
SWatnat him of two or three handrail tchars. Here I

Upon the examination of the testimony snnsxed it will
appear that Mr. Klin ha Brooks testifies that Mr. Dora- I
he, mar came to the ir store and wanted Freeman t > purIkiM
a dress for bis wife. t rumen teat idee he took the
drees to Mrs. Dorsheimer's room with bis name. The
drees was never paid for by Mr. or Mrs. Iio. she.mar

Myera likewise leolifleu tbal be owes Brooke Brothers
tboul ooe hundred Uollnra, but the books of tbal llrm "
ikow nearly three hundred. Now ell this discrepancy In
he testimony of bout Myera and Porshelmer make It
rery e? rdeut that they understood that tbvy were not to
>*y for all the goods thai they purr bared. One testifies
hut every thing has been paid for. whan he hae not paid
t earn the other that there are a hundred dollara against
not whan th< re are three. In fact there la an attempt ail
tround te quibble and get over a auapieloua point by
teatly all ibeee gentlemen. which only makes matter*
worse. One of the worst feature* about It 1*. that the
testimony of neither of them hold* together. Notwithstanding
the firm contract made with Brooks Brothers
aroused a storm all uver the Stale, it does not appear
that some of the members of the Board profiled by that
exiericnce, but eontinued in their evil way. See what
the committee say ?
It seem* I'roui there several resolutions and these extracts,
that the Board fell under no obligation to confine
the award of coo tracts to parties who had complied with
the terms or the advertisement or to tho lowest bidder*.
It i* somewhat remarkable that in no one inula' cc did
1 hoy award a ecntiact upon the samples for which they
>iiv ited competition.
Groat complaint wa* made by thoae bidder* who were
ixaunuod by your committee. They seem to regard H
** a want of faith on the part of tba Board, to invite
business men from all sections to proceed to Albany with
then samples and proposals, subjecting them to both
loss oi tun* and expense and tbal if the interests of the
"tale and the comfort of the soldier was best subserved
by the substitution, good faith and fairness to bidders
required tbal public notice should have been given,
whether the uniforms to be contracted for wero to be of
any other cloth than that exhibited in the Quartermaster
General s office. They insist that they were misled, and
based i heir bids on the samples id the Quartermaster
i.enerai's Otbre, as required by the advertisement.
1 boy claimed and complained shut a pre erenco wis
shown to those mtereeted in the Kellogg samples, and by
the adoption oi that sample all the other bidders were
ruled uut. Certainly, Mr. Kellogg was fortunaie In eei wring
such a flattering recognition from the State Military
Board. Kigbtsen ($18) dollars per uniform wan the
price paid, and each contractor testifies he received no
award upon any proooeal be submitted as to price
With the view of determining the reasons ot the Board
for adopting ihe sample of Mr Kellogg instead of the one
which ihey specified as their standard in their advertisement,
and what cause of eomplaint the unsuccessful bidders
really have, your committee hate examined many
witnesses.
The member* of the Beat d, in sxplanatIon, state thai
they selected the very bestarticle offered.
Your oommlltee feel constrained to say that the matter
is involved in much doubt. There *i>[*?re to be no question
raised but that Kellogg s sample was an ?i< ellent article,
and with the desire to peruilt tbe Assembly to judge
thin matter with entire freedom, we beg leave to refer,
without comment, to the isetiaoony of the parties who
received these contracts?the evidence of Mr Opdyke,
and tbe evidence of other persons, extracts of which fol

proposals on Monday . May 20. Monday evening Mr. Kel
ogg came to me. about nine o'clock, and said, "I have
seen Dame) and John E. Bevelm and Thurlow Weed, and
they tell me thai this contract (the contract of the 'JOih i
of May ) which >s advertised for to-morrow, was let to I
Daniel Pevelin some three weeks ago by Mr. Dorsheimer:
that it was fully understood hs was to have the
contract, but they thought it proper to advertise it to
tako off tbe curse of letting the eeutraet in that way; that
ihe price was to have been nineteen dollars, but we can

the contract, but it hud been promised to Mr. Here- r(
[in, but he would try and tlx it so that we could have t?
me third." My answer was that I wanted no contract < <

The testimony given by Mr. Cornelius T. Longstreet? jV
lenovraieiy rvamrmfa an lt
dc had said?wm of such a character a* to incite* the a
Committee to examine Mr. Kellogg ta relation thereto.
The reouit of that examination win bo judged as net the u
least curious portion of the testimony herewith submitted
Although Mr. Painter V. Kellogg seemed to hare p
forgotten each and every portion of the tSUjjvmn described
by Mr. IxtngHireet upon bis examination, he wan tl
enabled to refreslfb.s memory that be ctfbftra?e4 to a tl
great extent the testimony of Mr. Longstrtot. There Is tc
a discrepancy, however, and ai both genlkjaen are well
known in tbeicommunttiee whore they reside, your oops
mittee leave that disorepancy to the pnbttd to Judge he- *

SKETCH J)F UNION CITY.
Unlet City 1s one of the many places in the South
that was scarcely known outside of Its immediate vlci*
nily until the present war eommenced. H wee first
brought under the notloe of oar readers by the fact that
the rebel seldlery held it as one of their strategical
points of occupation. Tns principal feature of the place
is that here the railroads from Paducah,Columbus, Hickman,
Mobile, New Orleans and Nashville fotjm a junction.
The railroads have formerly been the mease ef carrying
the traffic of the Ohio and upper Mississippi rivers inland
into Teatiesse* and Wester^ Kentucky, and, by means of
other connections, with all the principal cities of the
South. Latterly they have been used by the rebels for
military purposes. The value of its capture to tjto Union
forces consists la tbs fact that all railroad communication
with Island No. 10 is completely sat off from the
rebels, thus preventing reinforcements being carried to
the troops otherwise than by a hard marob along the
turnpike roads. Uaion tjft la distant from Naafeville
about one hundred and nfly miles; from Columbus j
about twenty-six miles; m>m Hickman shout fifteen
miles; from Cairo (water and rail) abeut forty-six miles
from new Orleans flvshusdrsd and three miles; from
Jackson about sixty mllssi from Purdy over one hundred
miles; and from Corinth about one hundred and thirty
miles; Mobil* la between lour ana nve nuaareo tmte,
from tbli point. 1

MM?a Death of P?t?r T. Woodbury.
It is always a grateful duty for sympathising friends to
reeord their eatlmate of dopartod worth, and to express
tha condolence which may aofien, though It cannot remove,
the ?>rrow of bereaved relative** and frienda.
The recent audden and unexpected death of Peter T.
Woodbury, an eminent and reepectcd member of the
togal profession in thla oity,calla for aomelhing more
than a passing uoiiee. Taken away suddenly from the
ecene of hie usefulness and from the circle of those who
knew and appreciated all his manly qualities, hie death
has left a void that can never be lilted, and a sorrow in
many hearts that wnl uol lightly pass away.
Commencing his proiessioual career In the city of Troy
(where the writer Bret made his acquaintance), with
Judge Willard, a leading member of the bar. as Ins senior
partner, he scon established for bim?elf a reputation as
a sound lawyer and able advocate, and wou the respect
nud 0*1.1. m of his associates anil ail with whom ho came
ui contact.
About sixteen years since Mr. Woo .bury removed to the
city ot New York, wheu he became associated with Mr.
1''. H. (hurchill, and his professional labors were thus
continued until bis death.
In tins new and more extended fluid of duty ho was eminnntiy
successful in acquiring a reputation nud position
woi thy of the high qualities of mind with which he was
endowed.
Pos casing a sound head and an honest heart, with
talents tilled to adoru any station?equally endowed, jierh.tpe,
by nature, with those gifts, so bountifully lies towed
upon the distinguished statesman whose nauio he lairs?
ho wu8 a self leluuit, though modest man, and pieforred
rather to win his way to fame by his own genius and
talents than through the jaiwerlul inlluoi.ce of his relative
and frl?nd. 'though educated in ihc political school
o, winch Levi Woodbury was a leading champion, his
views upon tlio politico! questions of the day becumo
somewhat modified, though not materially change I.
While be was an "intelligent friend of true freedom,"
ho was such, nut in the sense that narrow minded
bigotry and partisanship would ascribe to him, but in
that broad and liberal sense which emanates from a patriotic
heart. lie was neither a bigot iu politics nor religion,
nor was he censorious In social life. He scorned
the petty intrigues and malignity of men of smaller
minds, but soarod above them all exhibiting ail, the elc
lneuts of true manhood. Such weresomoof the features
of the noble character theso lines have imperfectly portrayed.
The domestic ties which have been severed by
ih.s bereavement were strongly twined around hearts
tnat deeply feel their lors. A w idow and only child lament
the husband and faiher taken suddenly from tlicir
sight, and whose presence they can know no more forever.
The kiud Providence which guides and controls all
things for good points to the Chi istian's faith and hope
us the only source of consolation for sorrows which now
sadden their hearts and darken their uathway. M.
Colonel Michael Dohenty.
Colonel Michael Doheuy, one of the well known Irish
patriots who took a prominent part in the unsuccessful
revolution of '48, expired last Tuesday night, of intermittent
fever, at hie residence in Eighteenth street, South
Brooklyn. Mr. Doheny had been ailing only a few daya,
and his death was quits unexpected, inasmuch as the
fever by which he was prostrated was not regarded by
his friends as of a very dangerous character, hut os
Tuesday evening the malady assumed a fatal form, and
he sc.uk rapidly, expiring alter a brief struggle.
The deceased was a native of Cashal, county Tipperary,
Ireland, and came of highly respectablo parentage.
During the stormy agitation for repeal of the Union,
though only a very young man, be was one of the most
conspicuois members of the great Repeal Association,
and aa a keen debater had few equals even In that very
intellectual assemblage. His pen contributed some of
the most terrible leaders fulminated in the columns of
the Dublin JVah'on, at a time when such celebrities as
Thomas Davis, C. G. Duffy and John Mitcbel oontrollsd
that able Journal. He was for a long time also associate
editor of the Tipperary Frtt Prut,and, we belief#, at an
early peried of his career served aa a fgrllamShtarv reporter
In London. He was likewise a member of the
Irish bar, but devoted very little time to the practical
business of the law, belmg entirely taken up with the
revolutionary movements of his compatriots.
The bold stand which he took among the Young Ireland
party in the unfortunate fiasco of '48 marked him out aa
a special object for the hostility of the British Cabinet,
ana a largo reward was offered fer hie appreheneion; but
after a serlea of hairbreadth escapes he sueoeeded in
reaching England in disguise, and mane his way safely to
this country. His career hers is well known. He
wss admitted to the bar In this city, took an active
part In political and military matters, and was considered
an excellent stump speaker. lie served for s
time as Colonel of the Ninth New York State Militia reirtM.ant
and whim the war broke out waa chosen I.ieiiten.
ant Colonel of the Tammany riglrnent.but declined. A few
month* ego he accompanied the remains of the lamented
Terence liellew McManu* to Ireland, where be was most
enthusiastically received by hie countrymen. Colonel
Lbpeny leaves a wife and small family. The funeral will
take place to-day, at half-past eleven e'clock A. M.,
from the corner of Eighteenth street end Muth avenue,
Boutb Brooklyn.

Ansa 3 ?The Hon. Ogden Kd wards, formerly Tudgt
?f lbs Supreme Court, Circuit, and uncle of the late
Judge J. P. Edwsrds, or the Supremo Court of this dis
Irict, died yesterday at an advanced age.
Tkom the remark* of Mr. Hiram Katchum, in moving
Ibe adjournment of the Court out of reapoct to the venerable
deceased Jadge, we learn that Mr. Ogden Edwards
came to this city early in the present century. He soon
became distinguished at the bar, Md was appelated to
khe office of Surrogate. He was alee a member of the
State Legislature, and one of the members ef the State
Convention in tht year 1821, which embodied
some of the most distinguished men In the
Hate of New York?eueh as Vice Chancellor
Kent, Van Nese, Blabs Root and ug<|en Edwards?
i body that made woet important changes In tba constitution
of the State of Jfiw York- After that constitulion
bad gone Into operation Mr. Ogd*o Edwstda waa
appointed to the position of Circuit Judge, which office
lie bald till he was uixty years of age, and became incapacitated
by the provision of the constitution. Mr.
ivetehutn p;u>sed a high ouioglura on the character of
he deceased,and moved the adjournment of the Court.
Judge Barnard, in granting the motion, said he had
(rsat pleasure in testifying his respect for the high
baracler of Mr. Edwards aa a man, an advocate, a very
ibie jurist and a learned Judge.
The Court then adjourned.

Melancholy Death,
Frs>k S. Eu en, son of Samuel w. Eager, Esq.. de
ca'cdjOf Ncwburg. was drowned near Butler liill on
'uesday night last. The deceased was wall known among
he engravors of this city cj one of the most accurate
ngravers and limners In the country. The TkUrrapK.
lunllshed In Newburg, states that he fell overboard
rhile pausing from (be Susquehanna to the
(earner that had the barge in tow, and that
us body has not been found. The great depth
f water in the Highlands will probably render
,11 effort* for bis recovery fruitless. Mr. Eager gave
arly promise of his skill as an engraver many years
go, by the engraving of the whole of the lord's I'rayor
ipon one-third of the tide of a three cent piece. Ws beleve
that tbt* specimen of skill bss never been equalled
