Montgomery, Ala., May 12.?The le? gislative committee to investigate the means whereby Spencer secured his claim to the United States Senate, took a [ recess to-day. Over 300 pages of manu-1 script testimony of Republican wit-1 nesses prove the following facts: Before tho election, Spencer went to Louisville I to see Gen. Terry, and urged him to I send troops to Alabama, for the purpose of being used as a political machine to intimidate Democratic voters. After the election, a separate Court Room Legislo turo was organized, because it was feared that if both parties met together, the Democrats would have control of the organization and defeat Spencer. The I Republicans who opposed Spencor wero bought over with money and the pro-1 mises of appointments to office. In order to get a quorum for the court room, a body of men were sent for and paid to I ?come and represent Counties, not only without certificates of election, but with ?out any pretence of election. In order to defeat a quorum in the Capitol Legis-1 lature, one member was bribed by Hinds and another was drugged to insensi? bility. The money used in corrupting the, members was Government funds, borrowed for that purposo from the post office and revenue officials. "When a I compromise was proposed by Attorney General Williams, it was found that! unless one Democratic Senator could be unseated, and a Republican put in his .stead, the record would show that the Court Room Legislature had no quorum I in tho Senate, and that Sponcor's election I was void. Thereupon, one Glass, the Republican Senator from Macon County, I was paid from.$300 to $500 to pair off] with a Democratic. Senator in what was known as the Miller and Martin contest, | and violate his pledge. The Lieutenant Governor, Melunstray, was to rule, and the Republican Senators were to saction bis rulings so as to decide the oontest Before notice of the treachery could be conveyed to the absent Democratic Sena tors. The testimony of Robert Barber, clerk of the court room of tho lower] house, and also olerk of the same house after the consolidation, is a sample of tho whole evidence. It was as follows: Barber, being duly sworn, testified as follows: I was olerk of the lowor house of the Court Room Legislature, and also clerk of the House in the consolidated Legislature. The object of the Court Room Legislature was to secure the or-1 ganization and elect Gen. Spencer to the United States Senate. We aid not think this could be done if we met at the capi-1 tol. After detailing the means employed by Spencer to shelve ex-Gov. Parsons J and Alex. White, whom he had heard would be rival candidates for the Senate, the witness proceeds: I have letters from Spencer relative to the uso of troops, but as they are confidential I do not propose to introduco them. The committee in? sisted on seeing.the letters, and Barber, after Consulting his counsel, introduced! them. - Letter No. 2, dated Decatur, Oc tobor 22, 1873, after stating what troops bad been ordered to Alabama, and where ( stationed, proceeds thus: "I wish Ran? dolph, Deputy United States Assistant ] Marshal, would use the company at Ope-1 lika in making arrests in To llano oca. Randolph sad Claiborno Counties. ' wish you would go to TaUadega and { blook tho game. I must not,- howovor, bo known ija the matter, In haste, yours truly, .George E., Spenoer. To Robert Barber.M j? The witness j continued: I know Spencer's hand-writing, and theso lotters are written and signed by him, I and bear tho. impress of his seal and motto. . The expreseion .relative to or rests in Randolph and other Counties I refors to ,a \a\tag received by me from Randolph County, in which it was stated that if troapn. could , bo a en t into the Counties named, to, make a few arreaie, j enough .votes could be run out of them} to secure tho oloolion of tho Republican candidates for.'the Legislature. I in? formed Gen- Spencer of >hese facts, and \ ? this is what that part of his letter refers to. As assistant secretary of the Repub? lican Stato, Executive Committee,Iwaa familtyicwifiai,the" plans of Spencer and tho RepdbBjssn, jporty,,, J. ,J. Hinds was Sponcpr"A,i^?Pdontial ,m?n.. and. repre ?ooy?. ^^^^^^^^^ ^jatJ j Baker an^Ihad tn'e special mano^om^t, I of Spencor s election. In our conference^ j I was informed that all the money needed | to aoouro Spender's election vu pro? vided, and in the hands of Hinds. It was said that the Lowndes County dele? gates, except Major Hunter, vero diaaf feoted. This would defeat Spencer's election, and we were informed that $3,000 had been raised to disaffeot these members, and that it had been deposited subject to the order of Senstor Jones. This we afterwards found to be un? true, but not knowing any better then, I was instructed to say to Senator Jones that we had $2,500 subject to his order, conditioned upon his holding the Lowndes County delegation in the Court Boom Assembly. Learning that Jones was attending a co? lored ball, I sent J. N. Beach to inter? view him and report. Sandy Bynurn, John C. Hendrix and myself were se? lected to watch the Lowndes County representatives. Just before day Assist? ant Sergeant-at-Arnis Dan Norwood came out of the house where they wcro stay? ing, and I gave him five dollars to re? turn to woko them up, and tell them that I wanted to see them. They came out, and wo went to the Madison House, where Spencer had ordered a breakfast for their especial benefit. I then went to Spencer s room and informed him thnt I had them. He told me to conduct them to his room, which I did. I told them that Spencer had made up his mind to give each of them an appoint? ment, and Spencer, who was present, promised them route agencies. During the night I left Bynnm on the watch and went to Spencor's room to suggest the 5>roprioty of sending to Lowndes County or Bryant. Bryant arrived the next day, and, us I understood, received $300 from Hinds, This seemed to fix the Lowndes County delegation all right. The Legislature convened that morning, the Lowndes County delegation were present, and voted for Spenoer. Many members from other Counties were pro raised offices. I was authorized by Spencer to promise the members as many offices as I might think necessary to secure their support. It was under? stood that Calvin Goodloe was to get a Federal appointment, and that at the Iiroper time he was to join the Court .loom Legislature and vote for Spone.er. Meanwhile he was to remain in a posi? tion to have access to, and the confidence of, the Capitol Assembly until his vote was necessary at the Court Room Legisla? ture to elect Senator Spencer. He ascer? tained all he could of their movements by going to the rooms of members of that body and leading them into con? versations and reported to Spencer. We tried constantly to defeat a quorum of the Capitol Legislature, and 1 was given to understand that the plan had suc? ceeded by disaffecting two members and drugging another to insensibility. I was given to understand that Mr. S. was to be drugged, and was afterwards in? formed that he had been drugged and was lying somewhere insensible. This was the night before the day fixed by law for the election of United States Senator. Witness then pro? ceeds to detail how Parker and Chisolm, two men from distant Counties generally known to have been not elected, were sent for and induced by tho promise of office to enter the Court Boom Legislature as Representatives of their respective Counties, and proceed as follows: Par? ker was appointed clerk of tho House Committee on Internal Improvement. He told me that he had also boen pro? mised a Federal appointment, and ho was afterwards appointed United States Marshal for the Northern District of Ala? bama. After the consolidation of the two Legislatures, Chisolm was appointed to a position in the Custom House in Mobile. In the Miller-Martin contest for a seat in the consolidated Senate, it was decided by the friends of Spencer, the managers before referred to, that Miller should be seated. This was to bo accom? plished by sustaining Lieu tenant-Go? vernor McEinstray's rulings, whatever they might be. In order to secure the success of this plan, and get McKinstray to make such ruling as would seat Miller before the absent Democratic: Senator could return, it was necessary, we thought, for McKinstray so to rule as to cut off all debate and secure a final vote. It was thought that if McKinstray so ruled, the Democratic Senators wonld either holt or fight. To provide for the latter contingency, picked men were, by agreement, placed in the lobby of the Senate chamber. Among these were H. H. Betts, Charles Pelham, Sam. Olin, W. G. Candoe, Milo Barher, J. J. Hinds, a rough from Georgia, whose name I did not know, and some five or six others, whose names I cannot remember. I don't know that McKinstray knew our plans, but ho knew the men wo had stationed in the lobby, and wo believed that ho would so rule as to seat Miller at all hazards, and thnt he would be strengthened by their presence. Tho purpose was to show him that he had friends there who would bock him. We apprehended some dila? tory notion by the Democrats, which would prevent final action until tho re? turn of the absent Democratic Senator, Edwnrds. It was, therefore, necessary to have final action that day, and Beat Miller before Edwards got back. In answer to a question as to what means were used to induce Senator Glass to re? main in Montgomery after Edwards, with whom he had paired off on this question, had left, the witness said it was under? stood that Glass was to pair with Ed? wards on this question; that the two should go to the depot at the same time, and that Glass should thence return to the city, seemingly or apparently un? known to Edwards, tho idea being to make others believe that both men had left at the same time. Both did go to the depot at the same time, but Glass re? turned and was secreted in a room at tho Mansion House. To give him an exouse for violating his pledge, I served a sub? poena on him to appear as a witness in the same case in which Charles Pelham was attorney. I found A. R. Baker act? ing as his door-keeper, and Baker, at my request, handed Glass the writ Glass was kept out of sight until the. vote was being taken in tho Miller-Martin contest, when he was informed, by signal. givon from the front of tho Capitol, that, his Bresonce was required.' He appeared in io Senate chamber and gave, binvote for the seating of Miller. I understood that be was to be paid $300 or HQO for break* ing faith with Edwards. ,rt ? { 0 ?'

Of the 105 persons received by Reecher into his ohnrch last Sunday, eighty-two were women. Reecher's greatest suc? cesses have always been with women.
