That $1,200 Check—Further Vindication of Mr. Colfax.

A very important statement will soon be published, showing that the proceeds ol the famous $1,200 check to “8, C. or bearer” were not received by Hon. Schuyler Colfax. The statement will be the testimony of a gentleman who saw Oakes Ames present that check in person at the office of the Serge'ant-at Arms and re<x*ive the money for it. This gentleman has long been absent in Europe, and.was not until recently aware of the importance of his testimony.— ‘■ Washington (June 30) Bis patch to ChiragaJriuriial.
