That a committee 'of five members of this

That your committee, after its organizition,

htractien gave them authority to hold miset

had date; mint d to meet in Philadelpala. .

Mr. Peacock, the editor of the Evening Bul

Pursuant to an adjournnient for t hat purpose,
your committee met in Pittsburg on the
February, 1864. _ _
Mr.-N1 P. SaWyer, the. managing editor- of
the Pittsburg Como:ard!, Wie called, and ex
amined. He denied all knowledge of Who was
the author. of the..comrormications in that
paper, which were the extbjeceof this'investiga
don.
MT. John C. Harper, the local; _reporter 'of
-the same, was also -.examined, but he could
give • your committee no inf. - Imitation - which
would enligliten?yotir ca ii on the subject
for which It was appointed.
Mr. •Jiihn 'KennedY, 'dna of - the , hianagiog
editors of the: same,. pap , was then examined,
but thti failed" - to elicit any fact
whereby your committee .Could .griaSsAliti ,au
thorship of the:communications in question.
Mr, .1. B. Murphy, the-foreman of the com
posing robin 6f the - printing aft& of the Pitts
burg ,commercial, was then' called and e.xam ,
hied, and, like all who 'had preceded him, he
knew-nothing, nor had he heard anything,
which would enable him to tell who was the
author of the coulmunications id the Pittsburg
Comtherciil;,which were the subject of the in-
vestigatioo.
Such a fruitless search ifi _the, dark, among
those who, it was, presumed, knew who was
ttie author 'of the offensive 'conimunicattons in
the Pittsburg Commercial,. convinced your
committee that any attempt to-ascertain the
authorship by
. pursuing :the investigation
among ' , fthei rest ofinerikirid,". would, not only
tie withtitititicoese, 'but - foolish; 'tkiirryotir com
