Statement of tbo Western Union
Teleer&ph Company.
WasHiXOToa. February 9.—The Potter
Committee to-day received the following
letter:
N'*w York, February 8, 1879.
To Ho*. Clarkton N. Potter, Chairman:
gm:—Thoevidence reoently elicited by
your Committee concerning this Com-
p t ry'‘ action in respect to political tele
grams taken from us in 187C and 1877, by
tbe Senate and House committees' snt>-
caoas, appears to have been so uniformly
misunderstood by the pres;, as to make it
n0 w seem proper to amplify tho same by
guarding against a like misapprehension
on the part of the Commilteo itself, and
of the members of the House.
Accordingly, I respectfully submit the
following brief statement of facts—all of
which already appear upon the records of
Congress—asking that it be laid boforo
your Committee and spread upon its roc-
rda, to the end not only that a corroot his
tory of these transactions may appear, bnt
that at tbo same timo a simple act of
justice may be done thereby to tho com
pany which I have tho honor to repre
sent, in the resulting vindication of its
late and present administration from any
charge of political bias in the conduct of
Its business.
The plain truth is that the comimny,
realising a great moral obligation to pro
serve sacred from a threatened exposure
all telegrams committed to its confidence
and keepiog, both before and after tbo
service of tbo sabptenns, resorted to by
avery I. git mat o and proper device con
sistent with a due respect for tho anthor-
ity of Congress, to prevent such exposure
by a timely transfer of the messages
from tbe custody of tbo messengers and
officers likely to be called upon to pro
duce them to tho Executive officers in
Haw York, and thence by a resolution of
the Executive Committee of tho Board
of Directors from tbo custody of tho
Executive officers to that of tho Execu
tive Commilteo itself.
When, therefore, Manager Barnes, of
tbs New Orleans office, was snbprazmd
by tbe Morrison Committeo, almost all of
ths telegrams bo was called upon to pro
duce bad been taken from his onstody,
and bo bad no power to prodnoe them.
8o also when tbo president was brongbt
to tbe bar of the Houso for oontempt, he
was i cabled to plead that be had not tbe
euatody of too messages called for in bie
subfteaa. Tbo proceedings of Ibe House
of Representatives, as published in the
Congressional Record, show that Mr. Or
ton lilmself, on this occasion, through
the statement. of his answer as to tbo at-
Ulndo token by tho Execntive Committeo,
dlsolosed to tho Homo fall information
as to where the meatagos oonld be
reaehod.
Bnt, notwithstanding this faot, no
member of the llonso or Us committees
saw fit, at the timo, to act upon tho in
formation lima givon. Tbe Senate Com
mittee, howover, took tbe initiative, and,
sending immediately to New York tho
next day, served every member or tbo
Company’s Executive Committteo with a
sweeping snbposas, which demanded tbo
prodnotion of all messages to or from tbo
principal offices of tbo Company, whore
any important political telegrams were
supposed to have been sent or received
coder this anbpuraa. Tbe Exeoutivo
Committee, oompoEed equally of mem
bers of the two polittoal parties, proceed
ed with tbo messages to Washington,
where, soon alter arrival there, tbey were
■erred with a like aweopieg subpoena
from tbo llonso Commilteo.
A meeting of the Executive Committee
was then held, and by resolutions then
passed it was decided to respect the ser-
vioe on the company’s president and com
mittee alike and to surrender to the
Homo Committee all tho messages cov
ered by Its subpoena to President Orton—
this being prior in timo of service to the
lobpoona from tho committeo of tho Sen
ate, sod to surrender to the Senate Com
mittee all tho messages covered by its
•ubpaina—this list being prior in time of
service to tho like aubpesna from the
Committee of the Houso.
It was farther resolved, in order to
comply as far as possible with the con
flicting autipNuns, that whichever com
mittee failed to receive the origtnal mes
sages should have copies of all such
originals as were delivered to the other
committee; or if it sbonld be concluded
that the immense labor or copying might
be saved, then that tho commitieo of
either House receiving tho original mes-
sagss should agree that the members of
the committee of tho ocher Honio which
had called for them should Lave free
access to examino snoh originals to mako
copies therefrom if desired.
A copy of these resolutions, of which
the foregoing is the substance, was served
upon each committee on January 19tb,
and on the 21th of January Senator Sar
gent wrote to the company stating that
tbeoommitteo of the Senate had conferred
with the committee of the Hon9e, and tho
alternative or latter featnro of tho above-
mentioned arrangement was accepted as
entirely satisfactory to both committees.
The surrender of tho messages was
than made, bnt not until tho company
had urgently endeavored to impress upon
the respective oommittiea tho necessity
of guarding the telegrams from theft
and from disclosures to others than those
■ho, from their position on tbe commit
tee, were entitled to their inspection. It
will be seen that our conrso in theso mat
ters was strictly fair and impartial. Wo
were powerless to take further precau
tions in tho premises and wo are in no
manner responsible for tho subsequent
loss of the telegrams entrusted to the
Senate committee. 1 have the honor to
remain, Very respectfully yonrs,
Norvin Grxen, President.

Fall Xtiyxs, Mass., February 9.—The

James B. Campbell and William Henry
Presoott, representing tbe oommittee of
South Carolina tax-payers, and Governor
Aiken, William C. Bee and Robert Adger,
also representing tbe State under the con
sequent resolution of tho General Assem
bly, accompanied by Hon. Robert Smalls,
member from the Baanfort district, had
an Interview this morning with the Secre
tary of the Treasury and the Commie
aioner of Internal Revenue with reference
to the surplus of the dlreot tax levied In
that State and now in the treasury. A
resolution was Introdaoed by Mr. Smalls
and passed the House on Saturday, call
ing for enoli information as wonld
■apply the basis of some equitable
legislation. The whole diroot tax of
South Carolina was collected from a very
small section of the sea coast, while tbe
act provided that each piece of property
should be taxed only according to its com.
parative value of the whole property of
the 8iate. "It is claimed that the surplus
should bo returned to those who have
been over assessed, and also nrged that
tho largo surplus resulting from the sale
of lauds of Sl Hslena, St. Luke’s
should not be retained by the govern
ment, but refunded to those whose lands
were thus forfeited by the sale. A bill
to that effect ha3 been introduced by
Smalls.
Indian Depredations.
Omaha, Feb. 10.—A dispatch receiv
ed at the department headquarters from
Fort Robinson, states that the Indiana
who murdered Moorhead and three others
on January 19th, and Little Woll’s band
of Cneyennes, in all about a hundred
bucks, well armed with guns and pistols
and having a plenty of ammunition, re
cently surrounded a wagon train and took
all the provisions but killed no one, and
gave cne of the men of the train a silver
watch tbey had taken from Moorhead.
There were no squaws or children with
the party. Oaptain Ferris telegraphs
from the camp on Snake river that he
has discovered a large trail ten days or
two weeks cl J leading southwest from
Boardman’s fork. There were evidently
between three and four hundred head of
stook and many squaws and children in
the party. Captain Ferris will follow the
trail. Cheyenne prisoners from Fort
Robinson en route to Leavenworth,
twenty-two in number, including Wild
Hog and Old Crow, arrived to-day and
left for their destination to-night.
