the Assistant-Quartermaster at Philadelphia, Colonel Tao.MAS, telling him that if he had not a sufficient supply, to see that a sufficient sup ply for a force of not less than 200,000 men was obfwioed, taking care that no greater sum should be paid therefor than the Government had before paid. T took that leltpr to Colonel TuoMA?,and he authorized me to procure shoes and forward them to him, it I could find any body to make them. He ordered 75,000 pair. Q. What did you do? A. I came to Benadictek Ha!!, ol this city, a large firm on Broadway, very well known, and told them that Co!. Thomas had told me that it cost the Government, to make their own |jioes, about $2.20 a pair, which was the a mount he had limited rue to pay. They said they would undertake to make them at that price, although the Government standard real ly made the shoes woilh more than that. They took the ♦order. Q. When'was this? A. It was in .May or June. The committee have no occasion to call in question the integnty of .Mr. Cummings. Air. Hafei, in his,testimony, says that lie did not pay anything lor his services, but Mr. Cummings simply requited, in this way, the kindness of an occasional temporary loan of SSOO or slooo—(See page 609.) "From $1.90 to $2.00 per pair would have been a fair price for the shoe?, (sewed.) If pegged, $1.35." CUHMINQS MAKES NO CHARGE FOR ABRVICES. Mr. (Jammings says he makes no charge a gainst thr* Government for I.is services; and as lo the settlement of his accounts he testifies at the time of his examination, (Sep. 6,) f>ur njonths after this transaction had occurred, as follows: * Q. And what amount of supplies have you purchased up to LhtsUnre? A. This authority extended over a period of fifteen Clays, when I received a iettef from the Secretary of War, saying that the communica tion had been re-opened, and Ur t purposes of my appointment were n>w and the nec-ssity for it having ceased, there would he no further occasion lor action out side of the regular" authorities cf the Govern ment. Tli'' authority under both letters ceas ed at the expiiation ol about fifteen days from the date of the last one, and probably from the date of the first one. There also came at (lie same time a letter from the Secretary of the Treasury to those gentlemen I have named, asking them to desposit with Mr. Cisco tils* re maining funds in their hands. They accor dingly desposited with Mr. Cisco, in round numbers', $1,750,000. ~ Q. The whole of your proceedings under .bo'h letters covered how muck money? A. About $250,000. Q $90,000 of which wa3 to refund those gentlemen what they had themselves expan ded? A. Yes, sir; that is mv recollection. Q. And that left you $160,000 with which to cover your own expenses? A. Yes, sir. Q. Has the Government called upon you to settle this account* A. The Secretary ol war spoke to l|Bfet it recently, and 1 tcld him as so'on 4 ed the vouchers from Mr. Bia?ch!e(BPs|| houhl .ill be lorwarded together. Q. How long since you filed your vouchers with the Government for the expenditure ol the § 160,000? A. The vouchers T slil! have, but I return ed to the Department a statement ol the -arti cles forwarded. Q. Haw long since you made that statement to the Government? A. There lias been no statement forwarded to the Govejnment except a statement ol the articles furnished. Q. His the Government called upon yo.: to furnish the vouchers? A. Ido not know as they have called upon me formally, hut I have sta'ed that 1 was ready to forward them at any time. THE WAY CUMMINGS BUYS COAL. Q. How long is it since your authority was superseded? A. It was some time in May; but all the transactions were not closed in May. There was 6ome purchases of coal, i waited to have that shipped, and tiien I Waited for Mr. 13lateh ford to return lo the city, in order that 1 might get the two sets of vouchers and forward them ail. Q, Was the coal purchase an extensive pur chase? A. About 2000 tons. Q. From whomd'd you make that purchase* A. Ol the parties who a~e furnishing the Navy Department wflh ccal. Q. And at'.he same price? A. Yes, sir. Q. When did you make the purchase 1 A. It was ordered about the time the first purchases were made, but it was not all ship ped. Q. Was there any difficulty in the ordinary officers of the Government making that pur chase under contract? A- They had no contract. Q. Was there any difficulty in their icrnidi rog articles ol that kmc? \ A. Not thit I know nt. Q. Through whom was the coal purchased? A. 1 ASKED Sir. JOHN TUCK n to purchase it, and the reasoa was that he was in Philadel phia, and was familiar wiih the whole coal bus iness. Q.Was there not a quartermaster in Philadel phia? A. Yes, sir. Q. The quartermaster was a competent per son, was he not? A. Yes, sir. Q. Why did you not da it through the pro per officer of the Government? A. Because 1 did not think it necessary. I supposed my authority covered the whole ground. Mr. CUMMINGS, in expending this money, does not seem to have regarded it important to net in concert With the regular Government officers. Q. Did you consult with General WOOL as to the character of the purchase vou made? A. No, sir. Q. Did vou have any conlerer.ce with offi eeis ol the Government who, and T other cir cumstances, would have tia-a control oi tiio de partment of business in which you are engag ed? A. I went to EATON, Ass.stant Com missary here, and I talked with Cel. TOMPKINS. Q, Did you make any purchases under their eupervision or direction? A- No, ur. Q. Did you do any one of the acts which ycd did du under this authority, in concert with "■ol SBB£ either of those officers] * A. I can hardly say that I did. CUMMINGS GAVE NO BOND FOR FAITHFUL PER FORMANCE OF DUTY. He gave no bond for the faith till appropria tion of the large sum of money placed under his control, and took no oath of office. His relations to the Secretary of War are thus sta ted:— Q. (By Mr. Holinan.) You are personally accquainted with the Secretary of War ? A. Yes, sir. Q..How long have you been acquainted with him, personal!*, and what a-e your re lations politically? A. 1 have been acpuainted with him lor many years, and my personal relations are very intimate, and we have been politically acting together for many years. CUSt.MI.NGS FORGOT A SMALL ITESI OF $140,00*0. Alter Mr. Gummings had concluded his tes timony and taken the same for revision, he ad ded the following note: "I have retained, under the authority of the Secretary ol the Treasury, by Messrs. Dux. Blaijjfef rd and Opedyke, $140,000, besides stated in my testimony, which is accounted/or by the vouchers." Mr. CUM MINGS expressly stated that he had drawn out of the hands of Messrs. Dix, OPDYKE end n LATCH FORD $250,000 ol the $2,000,000 placed in their hands, and had paid to them $90,000 to cover the supplies they had pur chased, and had expended himself SIOO,OOO, and that the residue, $1,750,000, by order ol the Secretary the Treasury, was re-deposited with Mr. Cisco, the sub treasurer. Still, we are informed by this note that Mr. CUM MI TIG 3 has retained $140,000 ol the money, over and above that staled in his testimony, ($250,000,) '•which u accounted lor by the vouchers." This item seems t have been overlooked by him in his testimortV. One hundred and forty thous and" dollars in his hands, over and above the SIOO,OOO for which he has filed vouchers in the War Department, and over and above the $90,000 for which the vouchers are retained by Mr. BLATCHFORD; and he deems it sufficient to state m general terms I hat it is accour.ted for by ilie vouchers." What vouchers:^:and.who has got them?# Can the Secretary of War pre tend tkat the national peril and tile necessity lor iurnediate action justified these irreponsi bie expenditures oi the public money, with no settlement for four months afterwards, even if there had been no responsible and experienced iuhiic officers ia New York to perform the du ties? Among the army supplies purchased by Mr. "UMM;NGS, are the following: 280 doz. pis. ale &. porter, $1.87,.. $525 00 35 quintals cod, 300 boxes herring, 214 37 200 boxes cheese, 2G*paci;ages butlfl*, ami cartage 1,541,79 6 barrels of tongues 127 60 1,970, doz. straw hats 4,156 68 19,680 pairs oi linen pants 17,220 00 53 barrels of pickles 25 casks of Scotch ale, price-not stated 10 casks of London porter, price not stated. 700 Hail's carbines (rej'd arm), sls each; 35 cases, $35....... 11 ,S9O 00 It is not necessary- to say that these are not understood to be "army supplies ," as the term is used,except the 790 HALL'S carbines, which is tile same arm *uld uy llw War iii the following June for $3 50 each—(See page .) Some of the above articles were shipped by the Catahne, which was probably loaded on private account, and not being able to obtain a clearance, the cargo was in so.ne way, thro' Mr CUMMINGS, transferred over to the Govern ment, Scotch ah:, London porter, selected her ring. and all—(See page for the cargo oi the Caialine.) The Committee caii attention to the accounts furnished them by Mr. CUMMINGS. He says in his testimony (page 597) that Messrs. Dix, Oen via: and BLATCHFORC purchased supplies, and chartered vessels, kc., to the amount of $90,000, for which he drew in their favor on the funds deposited in their hands; yet in fur nishing the account lor their expenditures lie makes it $164,971 38 and swells his own ac count to a sum largely exceeding the amount mentioned in his evidence. It would seem iin p > Vole that !h se accounts should ever be in telligently settled, from the miscellanous ir.an nei in which the business li3s been conducted ."Mr. CUMMINGS had no general acquaintance with business in New York. Ho had been a newspaper editor in Pennsylvania for twelve years, and had been in New York as the pub lisher of another paper for eighteen months, lie was the intimate personal and political friend of the Secretary of War, and "acquain ted with the interna! arrangmeats and connex ions of the railroads of Pennsylvania" over which supplies are to be shipped, and he is in vested with the control of $2,090 to purchase equipments for our army and the charter of vessels fur transporting troops and supplies. He takes no oath and gives no bond. Without any occasion for catling in qoesfion the person al integrity of"Mr. CUMMINGS, bis wmt of fit ness for the position, from want of experience, is very manifest, and yet a* that very time ihere are in the same city of New York gentle men of the highest character whose qualifica tions, integrity and patriotism have r.ever been duestioned, so far as this Committee are inform ed, filling the public of offices through which have always been performed th.e very duties astgned'to Mr. CUMMINGS. Their great ex perience in their respective departments, a3 connmi-sarv and quartermaster, was at that moment ot peculiar importance to the Gov ernment; vet they are virtually superseded. The Committee has been unable to preceive any possible reason for this.' In the judgement of the Committee, the em ployment c-f Mr. CUMMINGS, by the Secretary of War to purchase army charter ves sels, &c., t ) the exclusion ofthe competent of ficers in tb public employment at New York, was unjustifiable and iojurioui soitlhe public in terests, and a dangerous precedent. It is the system they question, and not the integrity of tlieagpnf. The Committee call the attention of the He use especially to the failure of the War Department to require an adjustment <.i these accounts, four months having el since the supplies were furnished, and still even the vouchers for the expenditures had not at that time been sent to the War Drpart- M- nt. And the BLATCHFORD vouchers are still unfiled, and the accounts still unsettled, as the committee are informed, tbou/ii it is proper to stale that the Secretary of War has since requested their settlement. The public interest demand more vigor, system and prompt ness, and no condition of public affairs have r~ ! justified this loose and irregular performance of public duties. Such a system ot public policy j must lead inevitably to personal favoritism at : the public expens", the corruption ofthe pub j lie morals, and ruinous profligacy in the expen diture of the public treasure, organizing an 1 army of sppeis and miners whose covert assaults on the nation whould scarcely be less effective | than the open assaults ol its traitorous enemies. In the judgment of tne Committee, the pur , chase of supplies for army andjnavy purposes by private contracts, when competition might be j invited, and through 11 responsible personal , friands of parlies holding position under the Government, when regular and responsible a -1 gents of the Government can be employed, can i not be 100 severely condemned. Especially at this hour ot national peril, the people have a i nghi to expect fidelity and singleness of pur- I pose on the part of their agents. : liEDRmo GAZETTE.

WILLIAM 11. WELSH, Chairman. Republican Fraud and Corruption. When some of the officials connected with the administration ot Ex-President Buchanan, were discovered in the commission of Iraud/up on the Government, the chaste and virtuous newspaper organs cf the immaculate ".Republi can" party, became exceedingly indignant and paraded in the boldest kind of display type,-the "enormities" of the "Buchanan dynasty." Then it v.as that Covode did smell and Haskms ex pose , then it was that Forney fumed and fret ted and flamed with fiery wrai.li at the misdeed? of the unfortunate "J. i*.;" then the Tribune whined and moaned and shed its crocodile tears over the malfeasance of the "Buchaneers," and its little sulphuretted-satellite in th i; county and ''our own Joiuan" went into hysterics over the prospective ruin ot the country ere jVbraham Lincoln, the great benefactor of the human race (Afiicans included) would be able to put the seat of his blessed unmentionables securely in ttie rvesicer.ua! cnair. i;n : now intense, fJTTiv fierce and savage, was their anger at "the cor rupt old dotard," as they "! yally" and polite ly styled the President. How thorough and convulsing as to their moral stomachs, was their disgurt at the "drivelling folly and criminal recklessnt"" of the "Old Man of the Sea," as they poetically and very satirically termed Mr. Buchanan. But where is their stern, proscrip tive, Puritanic love ol public honesty, now? Where is their fiat red of treasury thieves, de faulting government agents, cheating contrac tors, embezzling tmstees, speculating cabinet officers and peculating Generals? Where is the nasal appendage of Covcde, the pen of Forney, dipped in gall ? VY hence tiave disappeared those Siamese twins of Northern politics, Hickman ami Hask in, who fain would have cleansed the Augean stable of the Government ol the filth deposited therein by part}' asinines and wind galled president ial equines? Ah.' they are heard of no mare. Fremont may buy damaged arms to impose them upon the Government at exor bitant rates, rent palatial houses at monstrous prices, build fortifications where they are not needed, purchase provisions through corrupt fa vorites, and engage in gigantic swindles gener ally, yet not a drop oi reproof have these pious agitators of a year ago to administer to this grand Woolly Horse humbug of the Abolition Republicans. Cameron may employ Cummings and other parasites of his, to clothe and victual t fie army, giving them carte blanche for mil lions, without bond or secuitty of any soit, and it is all right in the eyes of the virtuous For ney, the far-smelling Covode and the rest ol the hypocritical fraud-hunters whose eyes were wont to be red with weeping over the sins of Floyd and Co. Can any one give us a reason fot this strange quiescence on the part of these great and luminous moral reformers ? Is there an interdict from the White House upon their tongues and their pens? Or are they too agree ably employed in sucking government pap to wag the former, and too busily engaged in sign ing contracts lor spavined horses and scabby backed rr.ules to use the latter, against the har pies that hang around the Treasury? Can any of our "Republican" friends who are figlflmg bravely with red-tape and Uncle Sim's money bags, enlighten us on this subject ? Will not the Tribunes newspaper echo in this county, give us some information in this regard? Ii no ex planation can be given on this point, will not, then, somebody inform us why SIMON CAMERON is retained i:i the Cabinet, after the censure passed upon ium by the Van Wyck committee, a portion of whose report we publish in this issue ? Why is it that the Republican journals do net yelp and howl upon Cameron's track as they did when ra chase sf'er the mernbeis of Buchanan's Cabinet? When millions on mil lions are squandered through the misconduct of the Secretary of War, and when a Committee of leading members of his own party publish the evidence >yhich convicts him of the most flagrant violation of official duty, why is it that Abraham Lincoln—"honest old Abe"—retains him by his side? The people want answers to these questions. Will the "Republican" news papers dare to give them ? £ocal auti flliocellattecus. ... .A rumor of a battle at Hancock, i\ld., is prevalent here.

What Has Been Settled? The New York Post, a R -publican paper, i not disposed to attach too much taitli to the fir !i•-1 llii'.t the surrender ot Mas m ar.d Slide wiil-itely Great Britain. It gives its reasoi as f 1! ws: We are rot altogether certain that t! e Ivy iish government will accept of the re as us wfur Mr- Seward astigr.-: 1 >r yielding Mason and S' d *il to their demand. It is not apparent (u i that that government has, , i s ; ■ uar-.f M by the acceptance ant! th * answer of our gl rrrunent, sfettled any doctrine whatever, eitl* tiie disputed claim of Gn at B r itain to i-r.p:, seamen, or the right of taking v>.. a iurs | of a neutral vessel, or any other substun' point.

The statement of L Russell was very broad, that certain in isvi ■ L had deen forcibly taken from on boarJ British vessel, on a lawful and innocent v< age, an act of violence which was an affront trie British Cog, and a violation ot intern at jo law. It should be borne in mind that strictly spe ing this was not even presented to us as a I ma 1 demand, Lord Lyons was instructed to form the Secretary of SIM* that he should jn the demand, Laving the secretary to off-r same terms himself which the British gove mi nt would ask.
