The Court of Claims decided to ap point a receiver ol the Hot bprings (Ark.) reservation, to collect rents for the government. Mr. Blaine, befere the committee stated that he had consulted Matt Car penter and Jere Black. They advise him net to produce the letters, on the ground that to compel their publica tion would be unjust and tyrannical. They also hold, Mr. Blaine continued, after reading the fifteen letters submit ted to them, that they have no allusion to the matter in hand, and the com mittee would decide the same way il the letters were shown them. In the course of his cross-examina tion, Harney testified that he worked for GreenJ from friendship and never expected to make anything out of it. FTfi had never told a member of Con gress that ; he could make money for himself by sacuring an appointment, or that his salary was inadequate to his support.

Harney a number of times ask ed witness to use his influence to pro cure his friend Green an appointment in Jhe army. Harney spoke of Green's character as a soldier, and witness wrote a letter to President Johnson in favor of such appointment. He only said to witness, "You have influence with the President and had always been the soldier's friend; and can help Green by writing a letter." Harney said to witness that he (Harney) could make a little money, probably four or five hundred dollars out of the busi ness. Witness told Harney that he (witness) had nothing to do with the financial phase of the business. Wit ness was very intimate with Mr. Kerr, but never saw him have any inter course with Harney. Harney was very courteous and friendly with witness. He rather liked Harney, because he attended to his business obligingly. Harney was a Republican with Demo cratic proclivities ; and as President Johnson was a little shakv. Harnev told witness it was necessary that Green should have a little Democratic influence. The Blaine examination was can- fined to the $G4,000 affair. Nothing startling was elicited. The opinion, as signed by Messrs. Black and Car penter, as read, is substantially as re ported by Mr. Blaine. It concludes : "As a result of this, it follows that Mr. Blaine, having the letters and papers in his possession, is not bound to surrender them, referring to Mr. Blaine's private affairs, and being wholly beyond the range of the inves tigation which the committee is au thorized to make. It would be most unjust and tyrannical, as well as ille gal, to demand their production. We advise Mr. Blaine to assert his right as an American citizen, and resist any sich demand to the la3t extremity. ssxr. .tiunton uoyou wisn tne com mittee to understand that you decline to produce the letters ? Mr. Blaine Yes, sir. VIRGINIA. The A. M. & 0. Case Continued Day. One Richmond, June 2. The case of the Atlantic, Mississippi & Ohio Railroad, on motion of the trustees under the 15 million mortgage for foreclosure and appointment of reciever, was up in the United Stated Circuit Court to-day.
