SALE OP I\ST TRADERSHIP3. Washington, April 1.—General Rice, a Washington attorney, who has figured so prominently in connection with obtaining a post-tradership from General Belknap, was examined to-day before the sub-committee of the Committee on Judiciary. He gave his story of four post traderships in Texas and New Mexico, which he had procured tor various parties. His compensation varied from one person he cot $-1,000, from another §5,000, from a third he got one half of the net profits and from a fourth he got one-third ot the net profits. He and General Bfll* knap had been residents of Keokuk, Iowa, and had served together in the war and were on friendly and intimate terms hence his success in getting these appointments. He denied that General Belknap knew anything of the money which he (Rice) received lor these appointments, or that he had ever given or loaned, except some trifling amount which bad been alwavs been, repaid, money to Belknap, and had never given him any presents except, perhaps, some wine and cigars, and a small wedding present to his vtife.

He told the bookkeeper to do what ho pleased with them, and subsequently was informed of their destruction. The books and papers contained nothing that he wanted to conceal. He had no thought of anv such a thing. The witness never knew until he read the newspaper report of Barlow's testimony of the payments made by Barlow for buying oft' other bidders, nor of the manner in which the lirin had been blackmailed. Barlow had, however, repeatad to the witness the statement contained in his (Barlow's) testimony, that ho never p«id any money or made any presents directly or indirectly to any Government officials.

Adjourned. CLYMER COMMITTER.

Washington, April 1—The Committee on War Expenditures to-day heard Col. D. P. Dyer, district attorney at St. Louis, in reference to the testimony ol Col. C. S. Bell, detective, who testified yesterday. The witness first met Bell in St. Louis, in the fall of 1S75. He came to the district Attorney's office one day, and showed an envelop with a note on the back signed by Avery, and he, witness, understood it to be written to Fitzroy to deliver any papers in his posession to Bell. He understood Bell was seeking evidence for the Government. Bell was to see Joyce, and if possible get the corresrondence that passed betweeu Joyce, Avery and Babeock. He wrote a note to the warden of the jail anrl asked him to deliver the papers to Bell. The bearer, Bell, subsequently came to St. Louis during the time of Bibcock's trial. Witness met him at the house of Eaton, a special counsel for the Government. He intimated that he had got the Avery papers from the tiles of the "district attorney's office and exhibited them to Avery and wife at the Lindell hotel. Witness asked him the character of tho papers, to ascertain the truth of the statement. Bell said that he had a pencil memorandum from Bluford Wilson, and a dispatch from the Treasury asking tho witness to come to the Hesretary'.s room. Ho remembered he had had such papers in his poseseion, and Was satisfied from Ball's conversation that he knew something about their disappearance. Bell was asked

THE SAFE BURQIiARi.

tur*

ulary mystery is to be clearod up. Yesterday J. Proctor Knott, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, called upon Attorney General Pierrepont and was in secret conference at the Department for a long time. After the Cabinet meeting he called again and remained for more than two hours. It is betievedthat the Judiciary Committee have requested the attorney General to give immunity to Col. Whitely. If he testifies fully and fairly before the committee it is not doubtful that the immunity by the Attorney General bas been put into the hands of the Judiaiary Committee to be used by them if they think fit.

he had not dispatches signed by B. Finch or Bull Finch. Bell said that he had certain documents in his possession in New York, and had telegraphed for them to be forwarded to St. Louis by express. That paper consisted of a cypher partly in his and partly in Lucky'u handwriting also a letter frotu A. C. Bradley, telling him to come to Washington and be would be cared for. Tho substance of his statement was that a proposition had been made to him by Lucky and Babcock, to extract the testimony in Babcock's case from the

District Attorney's office. Witness had been very careful of the letters and dispatches relating to Babcock's case, because he feared some such exploit as was resorted to in Avery's case. He placed them in a box and deposited them in a safe deposit vault. Bell was one day seen in the District Attorney's office overhauling some papers, and was informed that nobody was allowed to do ttiat in the absence of Col. Dyer. Bell excus-ed himself by saying he was hunting for a match to light his

Bell, soon after the proposition to furnish this information, delivered to him the cipher and Bradley letter. After the trial, he returned them to Bell and has not seen tbem since, except as produced in tbe New York Herald. These papers were not produced until nearly the end of the trial. Tne reason why they were not used in the evidence was because Lucky wus summoned there for the government and was finally claimed as a witness for the delense. At a consultation between the witness and his associates, Broadhead and Eaton, as to the advisability of calling Bell as a witness, it was decided to wait till Lucky was put upon the stand, and then produce him in rebuttal. It was understood that Bradley was there, and he was also called by the defense, and it was intended Bell should not be brought in as a witness in chief. Had the prosecution known or believed that the defense would not call Lucky they would have brought

WJI

Bell forward, and used him as a witness in chief. Bell, who was in the room, asked Col Dyer whether it was because of his supposed unreliability that he was not put upon the stand. Dyer answered that when be told him he had stolen the security papers from the district attorney's office, he did not look upon him as a witness he wanted to tie to, without corroborative evidence, and ho did not believe much in him until lie got all the papers, but if Lucky had ieep. called, he would certainly have put Bell upon the stand in rebuttal

Bell then asked Dyer if tn suoh cat Oi extraordinary meauH are necessary to get evidence.

Dyer s?aid that Le was not in that kind of business, and did not feel competent to answer the question. He never found it necessary, either prosecuting luwyer or otherwise, to resort to such mean», either to purchase abstraction or suppression of tho evi: dence or any sucu violent and questionable luetics. That was not his way of conducting business. Dyer said that Bell's testimony was sub« stantially correct, so far as he had seen it presented in the Wnshington papers and so far as it referred to him. Bell was, however, incorrect in locating the conversation at the District Attorney's office. It took place at the house *of

Washington, April 1.—The counsel for J.*mes D.
