A Yes, Sir, j I never had anything to say about editing it. u, Do yoa know who edits tne present organ r A. Mr. Brown, I am told. - Q. Any one else ? A. No, Sir. Q. You never had anything to do with the present organ. The Constitution T A. No, Sir : the name of the paper was changed when it went out of my hands. Q. Who was your editor ? A. Sir. ; Apple- ton, Mr. Wm. A. Harris, Mr. Simeon Johnson, and. Mr. K. W. Hughes. They were changed of ten. . . . Q. During that time were there any occasions on which the heads of the Executive Departments or any of them, wrote editorials for the paper ? A. I could not answer positively. , The idea was that the paper was the meiium for the promul gation of sound doctrines, wherever tney emana ted from. O T ask whether von can state, from Your own knowledge, that any one of the Heads of the Executive Departments wrote editorials that were published In the Union ? A. My impression Was, 1 may say, J udge .Black wrote ror it. x think he wrote several articles, l-ui .Ido not know postively tbat any other member of the Cabinet did. fhat is my impression, 1 could not swear postively, never having taken any man uscript from them. Mr, Appleton contributed as editor after he went into the State Department. B. Were his articles 6a general politics. A. On general politics. Q. Wm it so nnder President Pierce ? A. I presume so. It is generally considered with us in the craft that the Cabinet furnish ii they please. BALCOT THKUMOSr. Q. Will you flate to the Committee the cir cumstances attending your transfer of the Union newspaper to the person who at present is at the head of the Government organ ? A. In March lat. I was desirous of selling or transferring the Union, on account of the-magnitude of the busi ness I bad on hand, and I proposed to turn Hover to the Administration, and addressed a letter to ihe Pree1dent,which was the commencement of negotiations, or rather the letter was addressed to Judga Nicholson, but intended for the President The result of the negotation was, that Mr. Bow man should be put in the paper and I should re tire from it, paying $20,000 per year to its support. A portion of the $20,000 ws to be paid to the Pennsylvanian in Philadelphia, as I understood, but in my written stipulations I stipulated to nay Bowman the $20,000. The consideration that I was to receive in return was, in case of Bowman's elec tion, which was presumed here to be an almost sure thing, I was to perform his work at prices which would enable me to participate in the pro fits. Q. Do you recollect those prices? A. The prices were not fixed. The -understanding was that Bowman should not risk a dollar in any way ; .that I should secure him against all loss, and af ford him a liberal salary. On his election as prin ter, 1 endeavored to carry it out, but he refused to carry out the arrangement. A portion of the ar rangement was in writing and a portion of it was a vernal understanding. Q. Who prepared the agreement ? A 1 Judge Black, I think, as the friend of Mr. Buchan- an. s f Q Have you that agreement ? A. It is in j the possession ef the Committee of the Senate. Q. Was it at the request of the President tbat 4 yoa transferred the Unum 7 A. I cannot say that v it was.- ' Mr. JTmdman1 shall o ject to that line of in- vestigation, not that I have any objection to the exposure of any facts connected with the public printing, but because 1 tbink it does not come with in the scope of our power in this investigation. If I understand the object in committing this matter to us, it is that we may, if possible, suggest reduc tions in the cost of the printing. Besides, all these facts having been stated before the Senate com mittee, it is merely duplicating. The Ctairman to the witness 'Have you testi fied to these facts before the Senate committee.

A. -If my memory serves me, them was $500 sent thra on one oocasion p, instead of speaking of the $1 1,199 57 having been spent in the Pall election of 1858 in Pennsylvania, I should have said, that that amount waa contributed to the support of the Pennsylvanian newspaper ; the amount spent in Pennsylvania in the fall election of 1858 was about A ' n , " S),uuu oniy.

IPtfs; On the occasion of y transfer of the paper to Bowman ? . ;si s The Chairman- Yeijiiri1 f lSf ' s Witness "When I transferred the organ to Bowman it was called the Union then; and he nam-, ed it the Constitution. It was stipulated that should pay from the proceeds of the printing of the Post-Office blanks $20,000 per annum until the en suing session of ' Congress when it was supposed hi would be slewed 'Senate printer. My stipulation was to continue with Bowman fo long as the exe cutive work, or work claimed under the head of Executive work and coming from the Executive, Departments Which was then given me should b left in my hands. . Q. Prom 1856, who exercised the control over the giving out of the Post-office blank printing f A. The President and Postmaster General, through the Post master General. - In December succeeding Mr.: Buchanan's coming into power, hef gave It to Mr. luce ror a time. Q. Did yoa sub-contract it from Mr. Bice ? A. Yes, sir ; that was the understanding that I should continue to do the work as heretofore, and have the control of it, Rice receiving, Iihinkvforty three cents in the dollar. Q Was there any understanding when this work was given to itice tbat anv newspaper was to be supported out of it ? A. it was unrW-tood that it was for tha support of the Pennsylvanian ; such was the understanding. Q. The understanding between whom ? A. The understanding between the President and tha Postmaster General. Question by Mr. Uindman How did you kn that? A. from the conversations I held wit a them : I insisted upon having more of the profiU of the printing to support the Union, as it waa one of thnse rather unprofitable pecuniary organs. and Mr. Bice waa very clamorous to have a t-hare for the PennxtHvanian, and we finally settled on. forty-three cents on the dollar ; I then made a contract with Mr. Crowell, who dm the work for me for forty-five eents or fifty cents on the d.illar: he did it a portion of the time for forty-five ceotr and a portion of the time for fifty cents ; I had also the executive binding, which Rice thought ought to satisfy me, but the profits on tbat wew not so great, and the expenses of the Union bein very large, I insisted that I should have all th profits of the Post-office blank printing : I could not keep it however. Question bv the Chairman You stated tlmt f?d , 000 were to be allowed out of the profits of the Ex ecutive printing towards supnortine the orsran under Gen. Bowman ? A. When I parted with it in March last, I found that, paying Bice and Severns, I could not sustain the Union from the profits of the Exec itive work ,anfl I theref ri pro- sum oj hum x ituunu. Q. Who d'd you make this proposition to ? A To the president , and to pay $10,000 nr an sum was my first proposition ; pending tbat pro position Mr. Baker, the Collector of Pbilnd l.bia, came down to procure aid for the Pennxvhaninn. and finally I had to accede to giving $20 000 per annum, J 10,000 per annum of which Mr. Baker obtained for the Pennsylvanian ; I havebnen iifor med that $10,000 of the $20,000 was for the Penn sylvanian, but my obligation is with Mr. Bow man for $20,000, that obligation existed, still exist ; and . there has been no action bad in relation to it, owing to Mr. Bowman's refusal to carry ouk his part of the engagement, which was that Ifhould do the Senate printing in case he was elected - 000 in advance when he took the Union, and the balance was secured to him by orders on the Post office work, which .he could not draw having r.o orders on jt Q. You paid him $5,000 when betook the pa per? A. When he took The Union 1 gave him that amount as a capital to start wih. , Q Did you pay him more on account rf tha $20,000? A. I gave him" orders on the Poet Office Department in pursuance of an account ho rendered me of what was due bim, which oi.iersl subsequently countermanded, on account of his not carrying out bis engagement. Q. What did those orders areaunt to ? A. ;If my memory serves me, I gave him orders to the amount of $8,000 or $10,000. : Q. Has be not received payment at the Piwt- office Department of those orders ? A I beliuve not ; yet I do not know. Qv Was it understood when you tranferrrl The Unir-n to Mr. Bowman, that $20,000 should be delivered out of the Post-office printing by ou ter its support ? A. Yes, Sir, that wa "the understanding. Q. Between whom ? A. The paper was drawn up by Judge Black. It was between Mr. Bowman and myself, we being put forward as the active men. Q. Was the President consulted in relation to it at any lime? A I first addressed a note to the President to Judge Nicholson, who was my friend in the ca?e, for the President, and be took it up to him. In thai note J stated thai it was rather onerous to me to be (bliged to support the Union, and what I desired to do. I sug?eted that ' Mr. McDonald, formerly a member of Congress from Maine, should take the paper and become its editor. He was a competent man supposed; but in the course of two or three weeks Bowman's name was mentioned and I assented to itl Wo met at the AltornexGcneral's office, and Judge Black drew up the papers between us, whioh con sisted in my conveying the Union to him. Q To Bowman ? , A. Yes, Sir, to Bowman ; with a stipulation to pay . the money also. There was a letter addressed in duplicate to Judge Black and Judge Nicholson, selecting them as the um pires in case any difficulty should ari?e between us. The difficulty having arisen, I have tried to have it settled by the umpires,but Bowman in variably declines. He found he could make a better thing of it, I suppose, . by engaging Mr. Bives ; and when he was elected. Senate : Printer he repudiated all our agreements, for which I have comn eiced a law-suit ; it being, as I am advised by my counsel, the only remedy I have i i the premises. Q. How much of a losing concern is! this Government organ per annum, in your judg ment t A. If my memory serves me, it cost me when it waa under my management' $19,000 over and above its receipts. Ous6on by Mr. PoW--Did tt cost yoa that amount per annum ? A Yea, Sir, X think it c t rue about that last year , Bowman told me that he thought H would cost him about $11,000 with his management; he being sa'close manager, he cat down where I was dtywaed to be liberal r .iji Mil rAjt aMtees of those ployed aboiit tha lperjl did not quarrel with the -j : v- ..ii tta should rocei va. p-id tbem aUheral salaryj the editors were 8 ly designated by the President . , u Q.

Did Yoa make any contnbotipns towards tha ulaation to Commas of J. GtancV Jones, in 1858? AvA similar question was propounded ma bv the Senate Committee, which I respectfully beeved leave to decline aniwerine. I answered renerallv that 1 had for vears oontributrd from my own resource 4 money, derived from , what sources it might, to the sustenance of the party; that I had always been an enthusiastic party man, and still was, and probably I should contribute more in the comimr camnaim if I bad it I sta ted that I had expended money in Pennsylvania, New-York, New-Jersey, Ohio, and divers other States, and that I had given ta-districts represent ed at that time on the floor by person aland political friends; I now state that I did contribute in eight or ten Districts, I cannot call to mind th exact num ber, in Pennsylvania, during the last campaign, in sums varvina from S250 to S2.250. n the different Districts which H um thought a Utile material aid would carry for ., 1 did among others contri bute to the Berks County District, represented then by Hon. J, Glancy Jones, and todivers and sundry others; I think in my other testimony I mentioned the ncmes of .the gentlemen who repr resented those Districts tben.but who, unfortu nately, domrt Kbreaaftt , thenT toow.t. . j A. I coatnbuted in hi district among others; the specific . ground apod ' which I refused to answer this question before was, th at I protested against an inquiry into what 1 bad done witn funds of my own, and with specified amounts in specified places; X nave no objection tosav tnat X contributed more or less in the different districts, as my chick book shows, in sums varying from $250 to $2,250. I know that there was one dis trict very bard to carry, but we did save it j Q.Whose district waa that? A We saved the Florence District from the wreck' I bee the Committee will excuse me from going into details, this money was contributed for sti icily party pur poses.. (Question by Mr. tiwaman. Did yoa use any money to aid in securing the election of any mem ber of Congress from any Southern State? A. Never; I believe you do not indulge in the exnen eiye luxury; I have offered to do it, but my offers have been indignantly refused. Question by the Chairman vou had not been in the receipt of the proceeds of the public print ing would vou have contributed monev as you say you have done in the various Congressional Dis tricts? r A. I would not have been able to con tribute so much; it was ihe profit I mde out of ihe o r . . public printing that enabled me to contribute these amounts of money; the fart that X was in a public position known to be remunerative induced fre quent calls upon me, to which X responded.
