Report of the Committee of the !Aegis- To the Senate and house of Representative's of the Commonwealth of Pennagloania :—Tho Committee of the Senate and House of. Repr esentatives, appointed under the joint resolu-' lion of the 13th of February last, to, inquire whether any corrupt or improper influences liaire been used or attempted to be used, to affect the election of U. 8. Senator, with power to send for persons and papers, 'beg leave. to submit the following report: Your committee met on the same day it was appointed, and organized by relectine Francis Jordan, of the Senate, Chairman, and appointing John II Filler, Esq., Clerk. It _immediately-e.Ammenced-the---exnmieurtion—of witnesses,: and from the 13th of' February, to the 22d of Mardi last, met almost daily, Sun days excepted. During this period- pair Committee held twenty seven sessions, many of them from four to five hours in length, and examined fifty witnesses, and some of them several timer, and at great length. The testi.; moray as taken down by the clerk, covers 'lBi pages of foolrenp. Much Of tide evidence, as is now manifest: is of no importance whatever, and if reported would only lead to confuse and mislead the I ninal of the reader ; and all c'earty of thin' character has been withheld by our Co.tteit-, tee All that a majority of the committee thought it important to take, is herewith - -re- t ported to the Legislature. In the examination of witnesses as, will be perceived. by the general interrogatories, the Conintittee consider it necessary to relax some• what the strict rules of evidence, as adMinis tered in Courts of Justice, in ordinary cases. The subjects of inquiry in their very nature, are those of illegality and fraud, and in the investigation of suchimatters the Courts them- selves have found it necessary. to the ends of justice to depart from their general. C.rc has been taken however, that in all such departures by the Committee, no injury should be done to the 'public or torindivideals. One great difficulty_iwthe way of suacessful and speedy inqbiry, was the fact that Dr David 'Jayne. his enn-in law. Isaac S. Eshel man, and Michael .Piper, all of whom were ascertained to be important witnesses, could not, after the most diligent search, be found:- The Sergeant at•arms of the Senate,.and his assistant, as is proved by the testimony here with submitted, made frequent and diligent efforts to serve subpoenas on these persons; and it has been established, to the entire satis faction of your Committee, that the two per awls first, named, if not the third also have either abjured the Commonwealth for the time being, or wilfully avoided the service of pro- costs upon them. In this connection, it is deemed proper to add, that the Con:Mice noti fled the friends of Dr. Jayne that be was im plicated by the testimony taken, and that his character was so involved as to demand his personal attendance and explanation before the Committee. His refusal to appear, under these 'circumstances, is hardly consistent with any other hypothesis than that of a conscious ness on his part that his conduct was incapa ble of explanation, and justifies the inference that he ao considered it. It is proved by the testimony that' John F. Herr, a member of the House of Representatives; from' Luzern°. county, was corruptly approached by Dr. Jayne himself, and also by his friends, Eshelman and Peiper, and that the only reason why said member was not bribed to vote for 'Dr. Jayne for United States Senator, was because be promptly and firmly resisted the attempt to seduce hint from the path of rectitude. This witness not only stands unimpeached, but his straightforward statement of his knowledge upon the subject, and the extent to 'which he is corroborated 'by other witnesses, have satisfied your committee or the entire - truthfulness of his te..- futhfulness of Ins testimony. It May be sug gested, in palliation of this manifest attempt at corruption, that Dr. Jayne was inexperi enceJ in politics, end was betrayed into this violation of both law and morals, in the ex-1 citement of' a heated contest, ana acted under an impression that rival candidates were using the same means. However this might be, it ho had appeared before your committee, can!.., didly stated the facts, apd thereby shown a, disposition to redress, so fir at' in hiapower, the wrongs‘eoramitted, end to remove the un just and prejudice' suspicions and injuries in flicted upon the character of . the Legislature by his conduct in the premises, your committee would have felt much more kindly disposed, and inclined to a more charitable view of his case. Ho has not done this, however; but, in his seal to obtain an honorable office, be in flicted serious wounds upon the reputation of the Legislature and the character of the core mittee, and then escaped from its jurisdiction, like a fugitive from Justice, anxious ,only for his own safety and regardless . of the wrongs done to others. Your committee, under the circumstance of the absence of the party thus implicated, content themselves with this ex- From ihe Min&lphia Ledvr BRIBERY INVESTIGATION. lature in the Alleged Bribery Caine. trath' pression of their opinion, and the publication of the evidence on which it is founded, and leave it - to the pleasure of the Senate and House 'of Representatives, to direct further action on the subject, if they see proper. The Hun. Lewis C, Levin watt also a candi date for the United States Senate; or at least intended' to' become one, upon a certain con tingency referred to in the evidence. It seems by the testimony, he intended to raise some thirty or forty thousand dollars, partly in con• neetion with this object, and partly for other purpitiek but how Mitch of' the fend for each, does not appear. Railroad bonds to the amount of $4OOO, and, letters of credit for other and less sums, were raised by, bita prior to and not long before the time fixed for the election of United States' Senator. The rollrend`bonds were taken in paynient of a debt he had a right to contract, but was received with decla rations referring to the contingency of his be coming a candidate; ' but there .is no evidence that any portion of the fund so raised was used corruptly by•him, nr-that any attempt was made so to use, it by any one, except it may be inferred fromwhat - is said to have tran spired at the appointed interview between John F. Herr, of- the Hon e, and Dr, David Mellinger, of the Senate. To say the least of this matter, it is exceedingly unfortunate that such efforts were made to raise this large fund at the exciting time of the canvass for Sena• tor: for not a few of the injurious auspicious .and -reporta-had-theit---crigirr - in - thiti - V&Y transaction, and by it several members of the House became apparently involved. Your committee takes •pleatiure in hereby unani mously ideclaring, Aar, after as thorough nn investigation asswas practicable, the evidence , on,this part of the case, taken together, does let criminate any members of the House, nor does it even justify an inference that any of them had acted improperly in the premises.---' Tlis. too, is said •without intending any re fleetion,uprn the voracity or character.pf the witnesses who testified before the committee on this subject. It is bidieved they'acted from' _ ~good motives and. Itrgood•faitti, but were de ceived by statements made to them by others, and which were subsequently found to be in-' correct, or at lettit incapable of substantiatidn. With these'remtirks, the testimony or Ileum Levin, Tucker, Ashmead, Vonnelly..Velaen, Sanderson, Cooper, and: others, is submitted,, that the Senate and" Hotise may form 'their* own conclusions in relation to this ftind, and all persons Its anywise connected with it. - As to the other ;candidates 7 whose, names were before ehe,Legiblaturc for the office of United' States . . 'Senator, there is no evidence' calcUlated to. Implicate• either-of 'them in the fairness of -Any., efforts • that :may have. been made by them in connection with this high and,liononble office. The names of some of the gentlenien do not appear in the testimony ! at 411.. .and of those who do, it is. not in con-' neetion with• any - fact incompatible with tegrity and honor. They aro all, therefore, so tar as the hibors of, this committee are con erned, entitled'to stand free tied clear of any of the Charget that: brought thisrinvestigeticn . . A hasty perusal, of• the testimony 'taken w in, the cos° of the, iniestigation - niighlinduce. the itnpresSion that it reflected strongly on Jacob S. Haldeman, the Senator from .York:— This is especially, true of the:letter purporting to be 'written by 1). A. Paxton to said Halde man, requiring him to refund certain moneys, , &c. In justice to that Senator, your com mittee deem it proper to say that the whole testimony upon this transaction token together, not only fails to prove anything corrupt or im proper on his part, but has satisfied the com mittee that a base attempt was made to extort money from bins under false pretences; and very probably aconspiracy concocted for the same purpose. It must be borne in mind that one B. M. Paxton, Esq., is the recognized at torney of Dr. Jayne, and was. at Harrisburg with the Doctor during the canvass, and had left only a few days before the 'data of the letter in question. Assuming that Dr, Jaytto or some one for him, had placed $9OO in'the hands of Mr. Haldeman, and alleging.that- he had abused a pretended trust, the letter was a palpable endeavor to levy black mail and extort from him $6OO. The name “D. R. Paxton" was near enough the correct name of Dr. Jayne's attorney to deceive Mr. Haldeman. and yet no doubt cone eidered far enough from a'supposed dangerot a conviction for forgery. The evidence clearly shows that A. J. Herr, Esq., was instrumental in getting up this Letter and foiwArding_it.. l':1111d1 rfif — taii, and your Committee, after a searching inveetigation, was unable to come to any other conclusion than the one hero indi cated. Your Committee would direct the epeoial attention of the. Senate and House to the testimony of Mr. A. J. Herr, not only in proOf of . the correctness of the conclusion ,ar rived at, but' alsb 'as a specimen of prevarica tion,. aentradictien .and attempted conceal ments, *Artily to he , met, fYith. , , . , .
