The petition whs referred to the f idiciary Committee. Mr. Feaaenden rose to a personal ex. plaration. lie found in the National Inltlliijenctr of the 17th in?t., a letter from W^Liam A.

This letter of Mr. i (lialnip's was intended to carry the inn j pression that the investigations were not impartial. Mr. Graham I ad written to him (Fessenden) making two requests, one, that witnesses suggested by him fGraham) should bo examined, and ano? her thai the Representatives anil Senators from that State bo allowed to.be present to cross c.xamne the witnesses. The last request was not complied with, because it was not custom try i" investigations by 1 a committee, and because the proceedings of lite committee were not in the nature j of a criminal investigation, when cross examinations were necessary, lie (Fes* j senden) did not regu id the lately rebellious ^ States in the light of criminals on trial, j nor was he acting in the capacity cf prosecutor. Another error of Mr. Graham's w as his he' ef that the testimony had c'osed, hei c '.use it had been ordered 'o he printed. It had not closed, except in the case of Tennessee. In the ease of North Carol , lina, no testimony had \ ei been primed at all, being in tile hands of Mr. Howard, of Michigan, now absent on account of domestic alllelions. Mr. Davis, in reply to Mr. Fessenden, advocated the right of the claimants for I s? ?' .is Southern Senators and Ret-reRMitatives to In: piosent and cross examine I witnesses. lie proceeded to read Mr, | ( rnham's statement in the 1 uUU'rjcncer.

"A decision on the pubjt ct of the value of United States Treasury notes, making them equal in every respect, in legal contemplation, to similar denominations in gold, has just been rendered by the (icneral Term of the Superior Court. The decision gm s further than any other yet made in this Mate, former adjudications merely going the length of establishing that contract* made before the passage of the act, of 1862, and providing for payment in the then legal currency of the coun'ty, could be satisfied by payment in Uni, ltd hiiitm Treasury not?*. Tlie agreement in tki? case was to pay freight money in geld cr silver dollars on delivery ol cargo in N'ew York. The vessel arrived here in June, aad the freight money, amounting to thirty two thousand aia hundred and thirty do'Ja<s, was tendered in Treasury notes. The offer was refused, aad payment In specie demanded. This was refused and the controversy carried to the Superior Court.
