Tilden Protests His Utter Ignorance of Them. He Had No Knowledge of the Wiles of His Graceless Nephew. A Statement in Which Sammy and Mr. Cooper Distinct ly Disagree. The Great Disappointed Disgusted with Felton’s Way of Doing Things. But Thinks It Was Necessary to Fight Fire with Fire. Mr. Tilden Confesses to Oc casional Conferences with Marble. Yet He Had No Idea that “Moses" Would Walk Crookedly. Smith, Tilden’s Private Secretary, the Most Forgetful Man Alive. OBSERVATIONS. MANUFACTURING SYMPATHY. Special Dispatch to The Tribune. New York, Feb. B.— The Times says: The sharp contrast between the two .Republican and the three Democratic members of the Congres sional Committee sent here to investigate the cipher dispatches secured for the former the preponderance of the applause bestowed by audiences during the sessions of the Com mittee up to Friday night. From the number of Democratic “ peelers ” in the crowd that blockaded the corridor outside of Parlor F of the Fifth-Avenue Hotel this morning, each of whom seemed provided with a special admission slip bearing the signa ture of the Hon. William M. Springer, of Illi nois, it would appear that the majority had taken measures to secure a.claque that would be more in sympathy with the witness of the day. Messrs. Hisscock and Reed were tardy in making their appearance, and their absence was taken advantage of to PACK THE ROOM in accordance with this design. Mr. Reed him self had difficulty in entering, and it was not until he and his colleague had interceded for them that the ban of exclusion was lifted from the reporters. The excuse given for these ex traordinary precautions was that the an nouncement that Mr. Tilden would testify would probably • draw too great a crowd. During the delay it was said Mr. Til den’s friends bad sought strongly to dissuade him from taking the stand on the ground of physical inability to undergo the ordeal, and fears were expressed that they might have suc ceeded at the eleventh hour, but the suspense was ended at 11:30 o’clock, when the side door of the chamber suddenly opened, and the de feated candidate for the Presidency STOOD HESITATINGLY ON THE THRESHOLD. He was attired in a black suit, with a stiff stand ing collar and black necktie, brown overcoat, and high beaver hat. Except for an unusual paleness, his countenance gave no indication of any emotion. He wore the expression that has been habitual to bim of recent years of being in a perpetual stupor, and moved to the seat reserved for him with the motion of an automaton. He was ac companied by fiis brother Henry, Messrs. John Bigelow and Henry F. Dimock. Hating been assisted in taking off his overcoat by the smil ing Springer (an attention he did not recog nize), .Mr. Tilden sat down and remained with out the motion of a muscle nntil Chairman Hunton stood up to swear him. He arose with a confused turning of his head from side to side, and, noticing the outheld book, placed his haad mechanically upon it. The ceremony over, he DROPPED INTO HIS CHAIR AGAIN, and sat in a heap like a dead mad until aroused by the Chairman's _ courteous Intimation that the Committee were waiting to hear from him. Then, with a scries of short gasps, he beganito recite a tale of inno cence and ignorance that any reader will see had been prepared with exceeding care and commit ted to memory. His voice was pitched so low that he made spasmodic efforts in response to frequent requests of the Committee tospeak in a higher key. The Chairman was compelled to quit his chair of office at the end of the table and take a scat at bis side in order to hear him. It was A PITIABLE SPECTACLE to look upon, this infirm old man, his expres sionless countenance seamed all over with physical decay, his thin gray hairs straying confusedly in all directions on his poll, his feeble body sunken into a heap, and his transparent hands shaking violently with Daisy, mumbling denials which few unprejudiced listeners doubt ed were untrue, so utterly inconsistent were they with the ordinary circumstances of every day life. Every few moments, often in the mid dle of a sentence, he would stop for breath, and then go on without inflection or indication of any kind that any other faculty of his mind than memory was in play. The witness began fo take on SOME APPEARANCE OP LIFE, and now and then a rounded sentence reached the eager ears of the throng In the rear of the small room. This was when he was proclaim ing his Incorruptible virtue. Once there was an attempt at applause, but Mr. Hunton was on his feet iu an instant, announcing that the room woufil bed eared on repetition. When Mr. Tilden bad finished his piece he fell back seemingly exhausted. To Mr. Reed's first question on cross-examination, Mr. Tilden answered, “I don’t recollect,” and this was a sample of the information it was possible to extract from- him on the subject at issue. When pressed into a corner be deliberately sworn he had taken no special interest in the election, had received no tele grams informing him of probable results in the contested States; that no such information ob tained by the National Committee or anybody else was imparted to him, and that ail he knew he learned from members at another time. .Worried by persistent questions of his tor mentors, he so far forgot himself as to SPEAK SLIGHTINGLY OP HIS NEPHEW, and then, recognizing the meanness of the act, violently assailed the Republican portion of the Committee for, as he charged. Drying without wart-ant into hi* private affairs. Sub sequently he burst out i2to an PRICE FIVE CENTS. appeal to “Goa and his country ” to witness that his firm belief was that the Electoral votes of Florida had been purchased by the Re publicans, uud that this had changed the re sult of the election. He went on with a pood deal more to the same effect, emphasizing his remarks by HAMMERING WITH HIS CLENCHED FIST upon the table. Mr. Hiscock waited quietly until he had fin ished, and then demanded the private or other information upon which he founded his asser tion, and the names of his informants. Completely taken aback by this de mand, Mr. Tilden tried to squirm out of it, but was forced to acknowledge that his only u information n consisted of newspaper rumors. Then, catching at a straw, he said his belief had been founded upon McLin’s testi mony before the Potter Committee. Mr. l&scock denied that Judge McLin had testified to anything of the kind. On the contrary, he had explicitly maintained that in his action as Elector he was guided by strict conscientious ness. Mr. Hiscock appealed to his Democratic colleagues to say whether he was not right. Mr. Tilden turned his head supplicatingly to ward these gentlemen, but they were mute, so it WENT ON FOR NEARLY THREE HOURS. Finally, at 1:45 p. m., the Committee cave Mr. Tilden permission to go. As Mr. Hiscock arose to let him pass out, he unexpectedly grabbed that gentleman by the waistcoat and began pour ing a long private communication into Ids right car. -Mr. Kecd gallantly came to his colleague’s rescue with an unim portant question that compelled Mr. Tilden to scat himself again. Then Mr. Hunton, who seemed to have just awakened to the damage bis political champion bad done himself, EVOLVED AN ABSURD QUEiIY as to whether, in witness’ opinion, it was not proper to think that it Electoral votes ot the disputed States were not purchased hy one side they were hy the other. Mr. Keed immediately objected, and amid ereat laughter, in which Air.' Tilden joined, asked for a ruling by the Chair. Mr. lluuton was compelled to declare his own Question out oi order. This ended Air. Tilden’s examination. During the cross-examination of Smith, Til deu’s Secretary, Mr. Reed threw out a vague idea that he and his colleague had some mys terious telegrams in reserve. This so alarmed the Democratic members of the Committee that they began to ply the other side with ALL SORTS OF QUESTIONS. The latter were quick to appreciate the ludicrousness of the situation, and shaped their answers so as to mystify still further the majority, who only realized they were being fooled when the audience, no longer able to contain themselves, burst into a shout of laughter. The open session of the Committee was brilliantly wound up with another of those amusing passages at arms, in so many of which Mr. Springer and his col leagues have been worsted during the past few days by the witty Mr. Reed. The Committee then went into executive session, and finally adjourned shortly after 3 o’clock. TIBDEN. THE OLD MAN MAKES A GENERAL PROTEST. New York, Feb. 8. —At the meeting of the Committee engaged in investigating the cipher dispatches, Samuel J, Tilden, immediately upon entering the room, was sworn by Mr. Huntoa, the Chairman, who said: u Gov. Tilden, we re ceived your note expressing your willingness to testify.” Mr. Tilden—l have a cold, and cannot speak very loud. The publication and translations in the New York papers I have read. X did not recognize a staple dispatch, either in the cipher or translation, which I had ever seen before. I never catered into any arrangements’to pur chase the vote of South Carolina or Florida. I ' had no information and no suspicion that any such communications were being carried on until I saw the dispatches published in the New York Tribune. I had no knowledge and no dealings with any parties to these negotiations. X NEVER AUTHORIZED ANY SDCII NEGOTIATIONS In any form whatever. On the morning of Nov. 20,1576, Mrs. Col. Felton mentioned in my presence that ter hus band had gone for the day. I didn’t know that he had gone or was going out of the city. Ho went to Philadelphia, I believe. Later in the day I was called on by Mr. Cooper, who was on his way down-town, and was told by him that he had received an offer from some party, offer ing to obtain, for money, the vote of South Carolina. I said that I would authorize no such transaction, nor spend money for any such purpose. The whole conversation occupied only a few minutes. I obtained Col. Felton’s address in Baltimore, and telegraphed to him to come home. I know nothing of the ciphers that had been passing between bim and others, and I COULD NOT HAVE TRANSLATED THEM. With regard to Florida, I never saw one of the telegrams, cither in cipher or translation. I did not know, and was not informed, that nego tiations were going on in regard to illegally ob taining certificates of the Returning Board. Some time after, Mr. Marble called and told me, in a casual kind of way, about the corruption of the Returning Board of Florida. I never saw any of those disnatches relating to Florida, cither in cipher or translation. In regard to the Oregon dispatches, I did not i know that they came in cipher until after the meeting of the Committee to investigate them ’ Some of the dispatches were addressed to my i residence, No. 15 Gramercy Park. I do not know that any of those dispatches were ever . delivered there. Col. Felton’s habits of mind and mine arc very different. A day or two after the election, Gen. Grant wrote a letter, recommending committees to go South and see a fair count. I had nothingto do with the selection of those committees. I never heard from them bnt once, and that was by a communication signed by Ottcndorfer and others. I was very busy all the time, and did undertake to correct the idea that they were my personal agents, and this report HAD NO FOUNDATION. They represented the Democratic party. None of them, so far as I know, went to these States authorized to do anything that a gentle man might not do. From the 7th of November, 1576, until Dec. D, of the some year, under no circumstance did I enter into any combination for seeking cer tificates by venal inducement. There never was an hour nor a minute that I entertained such a thought. To the people who, as I believe. elected me as President of the United States, to 4,000,000 of citizens who were defrauded, I owed it to nrodaim that 1 would not yield one jot or tittle of my right. Whatever cviljmay result from this subversion of the. electoral A system, and of a free Government, I resolved . that 1 would enter into no auction for the pur chase of the Chief Magistracy. [Cheers, wnich the Chairman suppressed.] I was resolved that I would continue to protest against a wrong by which the people were defrauded out of their rights. [Mr. Tilden's voice, owing to his cold, became husky, and it required an effort to catch all his words.] Mr. Tilden being asked: “Who is your pri vate Secretary?” answered: “George W. Smith.” CIPHER NO. 40. Q.—Mr. Tilden, X find in cipher No. 40 thU dipatch: [Translation. ] Tailauasse, liov. 27.— George IT. Smith.
