There were flee or six witnesses examined, but as their testimony did not differ materially on the principal points, we will glee the substance of the two princl2al cots, Copt. J. W. Seeger, Provost Iforshal of the ffild District, was Ilrst sworn, and he recognized the affidavits as those that had been presented - to the Board of Enrollment as Donnelly's substi tute papers, on or about the 18th of August. Bissell was enrolled in sub-district -No. 6 of the 23d district, and Donnelly was proposed and mustered Into, the army as a substitute for Ills sull. The substitute was asked whether he was an alien orwhether he had deserted from the army, to which ha- answered that he was an alien and bad never -been 'in the army. Ob served that his appearance wail swarthy, and indicated exposure to the open air, and Dannelly . said that he had- been engaged on the Ohio river and on Lake Erle as boatman and sailor. Asked Pierce why Donnelly was not subject to military duty, and ho eald that Donnelly was as alien; that he had known him for ten years In Canada, and on the river and lakes, and that he had not taken out naturalization papers. Ire said that Donnelly could riot bare been in the eevice with out his (Pierce) knowing it. Pierce said he had no Interest in Donnelly, and that he was not be ing paid-for.his services In getting the substitute mustered in. After Donnelly was mustered In be was sent to the. Pittsburgh military past; did not FCC any transaction between Donnelly and his witnesses while they were In my office, nor do not know how much money Donnelly paid to witnesses.. Pierce said he had known Donnelly eight-or ten years, and that he was an alien. W. S. Bissell was then examined. Live In the Fourth Ward, Allegheny, and was enrolled in the 23d District. Became acquainted with bon ncily in Au.g - ust lust. 'reoffered himself as a zuh.,titute for $2,000. I would not pay that, and told him I would not popover $1,500. They Scot to the Exchange. Bank, and when they came back, I told Donnelly that I would give him $l.OO, and he finally agreed to go for me. I made lnqulries of Pierce about Donnelly and he fold Donnelly was a ricer man, and that he had known him for fifteen years. Told them we would go to the Provost Marshal's office, ned If be was nevelt' ed, I would pay him next day. We then went to 'Squire John's office, mid hr, made oat the papers; Did not know that Donnelly's real name was James Skull until after lie lindbetn mustered fate the service..

An Interesting disenselon ensued upon the merits of this Important measure, during which a number of the members of both bodies ex pressed themselves In its favor.
