Washington, May 15. Fitzhugh and his friends have presented documents which entirely exculpate him from charges of arson, theft, perjury and blackmailing, but his unfortunate lat ter remains and will be fatal unless a feeling that the treachery which prompted its publication should under rio circumstances be successful, saves Fitzhugh. It is known that Fitzhugh could have prevented the publication for a consideration. Riddle hss published three col" nmas in the Republican; they contain cumulative evidence that Blaine was in Steward's office and strong pre sumptive evidence that the late Mr. Knowltqn,' Riddle's son-in-law, wit nessed the transfer of Bonds from Steward to Blaine, at the at the re quest of Steward. Blame has been inexact in details of his explanation. Senate. On motion of West, of La., the House passed the bill appropriating $9,000 to pay the expenses of the Spe cial Co mm ittee appointed to investi gate Federal officers in Louisiana.

Hedge man Slack, Marshal for West Virgina. The Attorney Oeneral to-day in formed the counsel for McKee and Maguire, that he will recommend that the law take its course. In the Blaine investigation, Harri son re-affirmed his statement. Rol lins swore that he beard from some one that Blaine would be involved by the investigation. He had spoken to Mr Harrison as reported, and on that account the motion to investigate had been withdrawn and had never been made. He had since been satisfied that Blaine had been wrongfully sus pected. Col Scott testified this even ing, prefacing with the remark that the transaction was equitable and Blaine had nothing to do with it. Maj. Seelye was before Gen. Gibson's Committee to-day, to investigate the Federal officers in New Orleans. He refused to testify regarding the pay rolls in the Custom House, in fear that he would criminate himself. A resolution was adopted, directing the chairman tOapply to the Attorney General for a paper like that issued in the case of Whitley in the safe bur glary investigation. He testified freely on other matters. Among other things he testified that there was a de falcation of $G8,000 in the New Orleans post office during Lowell's adminis tration. Lowell had tbe Deputy and Cashier arrested and held in $10,000 eaca and duly prosecuted. Lowell turned over his bondsmen about $20,000 worth of property which, how ever, was afterwards returned him. The defalcation was finally compro mised for $7,000. Morey told the " v VHV, VOTIVE. " -J .v. the matter was to steal the bond, and requested the witness to do it. There were ten bondsmen who were assessed some $2,000 each to secure the com promise. Seelye testified that Janett, then Commisssoner of the Circuit Court, gave him a warrant in Morey's District against twenty men; Morey erased the names of all but four. A warrant was given Seelye for Isaac N. Glover. He had his instructions Hvfn in the nreaence of Janett. He was to take into tbe woods and kill uiover. lie was not arrestea oecause 1 TT . 1 1 1 a4writ of habeas corpus was required Seelye says he did not intend to kill Glover, but left Morey under the 'im pression that he would. The infantry and cavalry in the district marched by Morev's directions. He furnished a list of his appointments and ordered troops to be at such points the day before he spoke, as lie was afraid to ge without such a guard. Seelye sold to Morey his orders and telegrams for $200 cash, and fire notes of $100 each, two of which he paid. Two were over-due and one net yet matured. Seelye retaibed copies. The testi mony was scattering, but the witness claims that he has a memorandum by which he can tell perfectly connected stories with times, places, names and all the details. Judge Nelson appeared for Morey, who was also present, and wished the appication for a safeguard postponed until after they had cross examined Seelye. Morey statedthe evidence given showed thatjhe Seelye should go to the penitentiary if the case should be de cided by the courts, and if Seelye re ceived a safeguard, Morey would be without the means of proving him in famous. Morey will be heard to-mor row. The committee rescinded the re solution to leave for New Orleans to y.'tllT'i!Ll Orleans, and afterwards elected United States Marshal; Sharpeft Vinegar.
