GRANT AGAIN, BILLY McKEE.

a Sini'-

•special Despatch to the Xow York Worb!. Washington, April 24.—Another proof of Grant's theory that the presidency is a perquisite, •worth what it will make lor himself and his relations, has been unearthed by the special house committee which has been investigating the real estate pool. This time the beneficiary is a Mrs. Hoggs, of St. Louis, -whose deceased husband was a cousin of Mrs. (irant and a business partner of the president when he was plain Captain Grant in St. Louis a quarter of a century ago. The gist of the shameful story is that the woman bartered her influence for a sinecure clerkship which paid her one thousand two hundred a year, that the President knew of this consideration when he granted her request for a pension agency for the man •who had'made her the dishonerable proposition. and that she had been receiving ihemonev without returning any equivalent of clerical labor. The proof is abundant and irrefutable. First. John 1-'. Long Keceiver of the port of St Louis and Disbursing Agent for the Government, te-ti-iiev to ba\ ing seen a letter from W. I Khort, then Pension Agent in Northern 1 Missouri. anil who was alter-j wards turned out to make room for Clements, the man who bought Mrs. Hogg's Presidential influence, wherein Ebert, who was trying to buv Mrs. Hogg's influence to keep him in the ollice, made this proposition in writing to Mrs. Bogg's: "If you will get the President through his friendship for you to continue my appointment as Pension Agent, and will have too names transferred from the St. Louis to the 1 lannibal or Mason districts, 1 will give vou half of the profits." The same wit ness testifies to having indorsed a letter from Mrs. Boggs lo the President requesting the appointment of I •Clements: to hav ing written a letter himself to the President making a similar request, and to understanding from Mrs. J3.oggs that in her letter to the President *he told him that Clements had promised her a clerkship if she would get him the •agency. Second, there is the testimony of Mrs. Hoggs herself, who makes nuicii of the old friendship between hei husband and herself and the President, and of the kind way she treated Colonel Fred during the Vicksburg campaign: say's the pension agency was given Clements at her request out of pure friendship for her, but admitted the fact of a sale to Clements for a clerkship, the receipt ol iuonev from him and the fact that she did not work for money. Third, there is the testimony of the Rev. J. P. Nolan, a minister who lived in the same house with Mrs. Uoggs, corroborating her statement. Fourth. There is the testimony taken today of Mr. Clements himself, who says distinctly that he did promise Mrs. Hoggs a clerkship, did pay her money at the rate of $1.-00 a year, although she did no work, and that her known influence with the President and the evidence he had that she could get what she promised, was the sole and only consideration lor which he paid the money. Fifth, there are the letters of Mr. Elbert to Mrs. Hoggs, a Ion" and interesting correspondence, exhib'fting the exact condition ol the Hoggs Presidential influence market during all the while he and Clements

Prior to his departure the Sun correspondent had a tew moincuts conversation with Mr. Whitthorne the Chairman. in the course of which he said that me committee, though thoroughly lagged out by their fortnight's sitting, were fully satisfied with the results of the inquiry, and itilimated that when the report of the lull committee was presented to Congress, some three or four weeks hence.! the country would be startled at the amount of corruption thus laid hare, lie refused to state ab«oIntelv whether or not they had caught Secretary Robeson himself, though he I did not deny that they probed his relations to the Cattells to the bottom, captured the whole party in an attempt to alter important accounts and documents, and penetrated into the inner mysteries ol the 1 Secretary's private bank account. JI intended", he said, lo avail himself of a few davs' rest at the capital and then go to Brooklyn, with the examination of whose navv vard the work originally laid out by the'committee will have been finished. He did not expect to stumble upon such glariti" frauds there as he had found here, but lu? hoped to get at some very important facts concerning certain contracts which the Secretary had helped through on the same teann as those awarded by the Cattells.

The testimony taken during the last two weeks has lieeu already forwarded to Washington, and embraces the evidence of more than two hundred witnesses, on the following subjects o! inquiry: Ihe removal of the old nav\ vard to League Island by Nat.

Piper's amendment was rejected and Randall's agreed to. An item of fourteen thousand dollars was inserted to carry 011 an assay ollice at the mint building at New Orleans, and one of five thousand for an assay of lice at Boise City. The question of the compensation of territorial judges, fixed in the bill al twenty-live hundred dollars, gave rise to a discusion, most of the speeches being against the utter inadequacy of that compensation.
