To the IvlUor of the Capital:
: I' have aeen the telegram of the
Western Associated press iu the leading
papers of Ohio of Friday moruiDg,
purporting to give the testimony of
Pitney before tuo Treasury Invesiiga
ling Committee, I have read the
testimony given by him', and there is
not one word of, truth in !lhe whole
telegtam. No euch jestimony was
given. No such scene occurred, and
nb Utters of Senator or Airs. Sherman
were produced by l'ituey as alluded to.
l ain aiilhoriised by Senator Hale, who
is mentioned, au'd to. whom I showed
the dUpatcn, tomake the same denial.
The telegram is a wholesale, lie, as the
testimony when printed will show.
I ' John Sueemax.
WAS-iusiTO.NT, IVbruary 10, The
-card of Mr. Sherman was not necessary
to satisfy the county of tlje-falsity of
. the infamous charges made 'against
him. it is pitilul that spite can carry
any one so far as to cause the fbrica
tion of so wild a tale as. is contradicted
by the above. National Republican. .j
Senator Sherman sends to the Slim
day Cufutal the following denial : . i .
As the t'.'ar, with other papers,- pub
lished a paragraph regarding Pitney 's
testimony something to the same effect'
as .the telegram above referred to,i it is
but justice to Mr. Sherman to say that
we are satisfied that no such evidence
was given before th: committee:! We
are further of ire ojdniou that various
Other reor.s all at of testimony dam
aging to Mr. Sherman having i been
given before the commiHea have as
little foundation in fact. It is unfortu
nate that the investigating committee
decided to hold secret sessions. The
usual, result has followed. The? reports
of the proceedings obtained iu a hap-
haiird way from various sources vereM
pretty certain to he inaccurate,! and
were ' quite liteiy to oe colored by
malice. This has beep the uniform exr
perience in all-secret investigations,
aud it is to be hoped that id future no
oomnuilfe of investigation will ! make
the blunder of sitting with closed doors.
