Iu several of the most important matters

with only Democrats aud,ehort-hand writers
present. And testimony thus taken, with
out croHs-examiuatiou, or notice

in the attempt of Cauldfiold'a committee to

and his alleged purchase for $40,000.

agents, indicted criminals, black mailers,
bribe-takers, defaulters, disreputable de
tectives, perjurors, sud luuatics, have
graced the stand iu these Democrat o com
mittee-rooms, and had their testimony to
Republican inefficiency recorded. And this
is not exaggeration.
The crazy man who was allowed to testi
fy without restraint against Gou. Meigs be
fore Clvmer's committee will uot be forgot
ten. The fact that this inquiry was publio
aloiie exposed the baselessness of the tes
)tiy. The regular re)>ort gave
matinu of tho man's condition. But for the
specials who saw and described it, nothing
would have promptly reached the country
to dn credit it. Ctiater's hour after hour of

Without doubt, thoi

very little of this has established dishonesty
against Republican officials. The bulk of

have dealt with the disreputable clasaes of
witnesses to which alimiuu has been made.
Witnesses with a grievance may tell noth

they accuse to have their exact identity
and relations to those amused established
and entered iu the record. This has
been often done, aud tiie consequence is
that much testimony, whioh the fixing of
such identity would' at once discredit, has
