MINISTER ORTH EXAMIHID. Washington, May 83. Godlove S. Ortb, of Indiana, United States Minister to Austria, testified to day before the sub committee ot the committee on .f oreign Attain in relation to awards made by the Venezuelan mixed commission. His name had been mentioned in testimony previ ously given by Beth Driggs. of New York. as having acted as attorney to procure from the State Department payment of seven per cent, ot the disbursements on a large number of thousand dollar certificates withheld from Driggs by the American Commissioner Talmadge. Orth, in his testimony, explained fully hiBconnec-nection with tbe matter. His first knowledge of - the Venezuelan claimB occurred when the Venezuelan Government, in 1870 and 1871, protested against their validity, alleging fraud in the Commissioner. The committee on Foreign Affairs, of which Orth was then a member, investigated the charges and unanimously reported in favor of the validity of the awards. Afterwards, when Orth was not a member of Congress, and he had no idea of again being in Congress, he accepted employment as attorney of Stilwell and General Talmadge, to assist them in recovering their percentage, paid by the Venezuelan Government under protest, on thece awards, and whjch was then in the State Department, and subsequently in procuring the passage of a law by Congress confirming the award. He acted and was paid as Attorney for Stilwell and Talmadge. His services were rendered while he was not a member of Congress, and terminated before he took his seat iu a subsequent Congress, in 1873. That ended his professional connection with the matter. But in July, 1873, he then being a member of Congress elect, he had on behalf of Talmadge corresponded with the State Departmenton the subject of payment of an installment on the certificates held by Talmadge. This, however, he had not done in his professional character. He identified the correspondence, a copy of which was in the hands of the committee. The name of Talmadge does not appear in it as the person for whom he was acting, but the name of Thomas Brown does. Orth's explanation is that Talmadge must have written to him that Brown was the holder of these certificates. Mr. Springer, who examined Mr. Orth, ifter milling tils attention to the fact that Stilwell wa TJnitod States Minister to Venezuela only a few months, and that Talmadge waB the American Commissioner who passed upon the claims, asked him if it did not occur to mm, when'onered this employment as attorney, that it was strange Stilwell and Talmadge should hold such large amounts of these cerliti-catea, the former having more than $70,-000 of them, and the latter a still larger sum; and whether it did not, therefore, occur to him that if he mentioned the came of Talmadge to the State Department as owner of these certificates suspicion would have been awakened, and payment prevented. Orth replied : No, for the State Department had paid to Talmadge, in 1871, an installment on other certificates which he had. DISTRICT OT COLUMBIA. The report of the committee on Dis trict of Columbia, charged with an investigation into the affairs of the District, haa been prepared.so far as a portion of the committee is concerned, by its Chairman, Mr. Buckner. It specifically charges the Commissioners with violations of law in expenditures of money, and says in re lation to the rsoara ot Audit tnat the evidence will fully sustain the committee in the statement that favored parties had no difficulty in having the claims audited, in some cases in which there was no merit, and in others for much more than was due; while other claimants, with eoual merit or demerit, were procrastinated and de layed until some person in communication with the accounting officer turns up to purchase, at a heavy discount, the claims thus hindered and delayed in their adjustment. The report gives names of thirtytwo persons who naa improper or erroneous allowances made to them, rang ing from $2000 to $0400, and aggregating $320,667. The report says if the inten tion and meaning of the act of June, Jo4, has not beeu greatly misconceived, there can be no doubt the Commissioners have added $3,091,046 to the debt of the D Btrlct, not only without warrant ot law, but against their own construction of their powers, ns shown by their report of December, 1874. The report says that in the investigation of some of the contracts of the Board of Health, it appears that with the Adoreleas Excavating Ap paratus company, of Baltimore, was made under citcuniBtances that leads to the suspicion (not to the conviction) that improper motives controlled two of the members of the Board awarding this contract Doctors Cox and Bliss who subsequently to the award received from the AdorlesB company certificates of preferred stock in the company guar anteeing seven per cent, per annum in-tereBt on $10,000, which they seem to have disposed of afterward to the President of the company. The committee Bay not only ought this contract to be cancelled and set aside, but your committee would call the attent on of tbe authori ties of the District to the propriety of bringing the contract ot Uox and cuss in thia matter before the grand jury, and having these officers indicted under section 5501 of the Revised Laws of the United States. PACIFIC RAILROADS. C. P. Huntington, Vice President of the Central 1'acmc Kailroad company, has written a letter to the Chairman of House committee on Judiciary, in which he savs the company recognizes as fully as the committee the desirability both to the Government and company, ot an equitable and final settlement of all mat. tera and Questions, of whatever kind, be tween them, and this he thinks can be effected by an amicable arbitration, with good results to both parties. If it should be determined by tbe committee to icaiBl upon the cash payments named by one of the committees, the company would prefer the contract as its leading question, at issue, to be settled in future on equitable terms. The contraction in values, he says, has largely exceeded the calculations of the company, and the amount received I from sales of lands has not bsen aa large aa was expected. The road was built in times of higher prices, and although eco nomically constructed cost a large sum and he raises the question whether the nation, it being tne principal Denenciary, should not share in the shrinkage, the saving to the Government every year being more than the annual interest it pays on tbe bonds of the company. Hecompares tne coat of transportation to tbe Uovero-ment before and after the opening of the road, and shows that the Government is now sending aiarge part of its freights to tne facino coast by water, and not bv rail, as was contemplated. He offers to give any information tbe committee desire in regard te the suggestion of his let ter, as tbe company is anxious to settle thia matter, so as to avoid misunder standing with regard to the true interpre tation oi tne contract. LOUISIANA INVESTIGATION. The committee on Federal Officers in Louisiana continued the examination of the witness u. W. Ferguson to-day. Nearly the whole time was occupied by Wilson, counsel lor Collector Uasey, In cross-examination of him, but nothing of importance was developed. Wilson in troduced telegrams from Cssey. Herwig. Kinsella and others, and claimed that the records showed Ferguson's statements were lalse. During tbe day a sub-corn mittee visited the Treasury Department with the witness to identify bogus pay rolls, and reported that although about six hundred vouchers were produced by the Treasury Department and examined ny tne witness, na.was unable to identity a single one beyond those for his awn sal ary.

The matter was referred to the Secretary of War, who will instruct the proper military authority at St, LouiB to give the necessarv aid. One company of infantry will be detailed lor this Bervice. THE CABINET REORGANIZATION, The sickness of J. Donald Cameron was mentioned as a circumstance which would prevent Mb immediate assumption of the duties of Sec etary of War, and as a consequence Judgo Taft will remain in charge of that Department for a few days. It is thought that Cameron will be here and take the oath of office early next week. Until then the understanding is that formal acceptances of newly appoint ed Cabinet officers will be delayed. THE BLACK HILLS. The Cabinet considered, to some ex tent, the situation of arlaira in the Black Hills country. AaBurances have been given that an influential band of Sioux are willing to relinquish their domain there and remove to reservations in Indian Territory. All correspondence in that particular was referred to the Senretr the Interior, wno will give instructions to agents of the Interior Department regarding proper negotiations in that direction. Should this portion of the Sioux Nation signify a willingneas to settle in Indian Territory, the hope is expressed that the entire formidable part of the hostile Indian racemay soon be diminished in that territory.

New York Herald.) The new Secretary of War, James Don aid Cameron, or, as he is oalled in Penn. sylvania politics, Don Cameron, is the eldest son of tbe Hon. Simon Cameron, the senior Senator from the State of Pennsylvania. Mr. Cameron is now about fortytwo years of age, and was born in Pennsylvania. His mother waa formerly Miss Brun, a descendant of an old .Penn sylvania family. He was educated for a business life and became the President and Cashier of two or three banks in Harrisburg, Middletown and elsewhere. He took an active interest in the development of the railway system of Pennsylvania and was for some time the President of the Northern Central railway, the main line from Baltimore to Harrisburg, It was in tbe management of this road that the genius of Mr. Cameron for affairs for the government o! men and for handling large trusts firat became known. Mr. Cameron remained in the control of the Northern Central until the railway passed into the hands of the Pennsylvania Central, when he retired from the railway and gave his time to his personal af fairs and largely to politics. As his father, tne senator, retired Irom the active control of Pennsylvania politics on account of his advancing years. Mr.-Cameron as sumed his place and became known as a leader of courage, singular foresight and ability. Lacking the genial bon hommie of the Senator, Mr. Cameron was cold, re served and shy in his manner, and fused into the Republican party a discipline which it bad never betore known, even in Pennsylvania. Mr. Cameron is a man of large fortune, estimated at from $2,000,000 to $3,000,-000, and although his nomination may be unfavorably regarded by a wing of the Republican party in Pennsylvania, it will no doubt give satisfaction to the general bulk of the organization. ItB political meaning is that Mr. Cameron, as a supporter of Conkling, is recognized by President Grant. Mr. Cameron is a widower and resides at Harrisburg. Governor Noyes on the Hayes Movement.Cincinnati Co-. It, Y. Times. That it is quite possible the real strength of Gov. Hayes in the State has been underrated, and the action Ohio is to take in the Convention misstated, can be seen from a single incident. It was said to me, on what seemed to be good authority, that Gov. Noyes, although pretending to be for Hayes, was really for Morton, and would take the first opportunity to desert Hayes and go over to the Indiana Senator. Wishing to know the precise truth I went to Gen. Noyes and told him what I heard, without saying where or from whom I had obtained the information. His answer was quite emphatic, for he said, "I am squarely for Hayes, and have never indicated a second choice, because I have not, and do not now believe that it will be necessary to do so. You can assert as a fact beyond question that Ohio will not only ni t desert Hayes after the first ballot, but will continue to vote for him as long as there is a reasonable chance of his nomination, and that chance we do not expect to appear until tbe third or fourth ballot." This view of General Noyes waa also that of several others who will have influence in tbe delegation, and may be safely assumed to be at least a probability, of the future. It is quite possible, therefore, that the friends of Blaine and Morton who are counting on Ohio after the first ballot are engaged in the rather unprofitable business of enumerating men in buckram. It is true that the two classes stated are not actively supporting Hayes, but they do not, dare not, and will not openly oppose him. One of them would like Morton, and the other would like Bristow to step into his place, so that really Hayes is stronger than he seems. One of the earnest friends of the Governor said to me to-day, "Let Hayee live beyond the third ballot and he is sure of that nomination." Centennial Motes. New York Trihune 1 It is thought that all parts of the Exhibition will be in perfect condition by the end of the present week. It is specially mentioned that Russia's space is rapidly filling. Portugal and Turkey are making considerable progress. France has nearly completed her preparations. It hss been ascertained tbat 7000 persons from Mississippi will visit the Exhibition during the months of July and September. The Philadclphians plume themselves upon the exceeding elegance and beauty of the surgical instruments manufactured in that city and now on exhibition tbe lovely forceps and the charming splint which is spoken of as "a boon of comfort" to many a sufferer, to say nothing of the hip joint apparatus and the vest for broken ribs. This must be a very pleasing part of the show. It seems to be pretty well settled that the "Sunday opening question," as the desirability of opening the Exhibition daily haB now come to be called, will not be disturbed by the Centennial author! ties at least until the special meeting of the Commission on the 1st of July. Sheds are now provided for those who desire to drive to the Exhibition in their own vehicles. The photograph of the holder in a free ticket will be tigorously insisted upon af ter June 1. Changes In the Views ot Senators on be Question of Jurisdiction. . Special to the N. Y. World.) Washington, May 22. Since Thursday last there has been a marked change in the views of some Senators regarding the question of jurisdiction in the Belknap impeachment, and the opinion among thoBe well informed was that-the vote now Btopd in the negative. It is admitted that some head way has been made against taking jurisdiction oy the argument that a re publican House might go back and im peach those civil officers who left the Government in the South and did not account for funds, etc., and to Seoretary Chandler is attributed the statement that if Belknap were tuuvicieu inejuriaumuuu luus assumed might apply to one of his predecessors, ex-Secretary Thompson. Mr. Chandler sayB this was intended as a mere joke, but the fact is not denied that the point of it is having some effect In deciding the very important preoedent of jurisdiction. The debate promises to continue most of this week. Tbe Herald is managed with almost reckless lavishness; but its net earnings cannot be leas than $10,000 a week. New York Sun. HARRIED.

MINISTER ORTH EXAMIHID. Washington, May 83. Godlove S. Ortb, of Indiana, United States Minister to Austria, testified to day before the sub committee ot the committee on .f oreign Attain in relation to awards made by the Venezuelan mixed commission. His name had been mentioned in testimony previ ously given by Beth Driggs. of New York. as having acted as attorney to procure from the State Department payment of seven per cent, ot the disbursements on a large number of thousand dollar certificates withheld from Driggs by the American Commissioner Talmadge. Orth, in his testimony, explained fully hiBconnec-nection with tbe matter. His first knowledge of - the Venezuelan claimB occurred when the Venezuelan Government, in 1870 and 1871, protested against their validity, alleging fraud in the Commissioner. The committee on Foreign Affairs, of which Orth was then a member, investigated the charges and unanimously reported in favor of the validity of the awards. Afterwards, when Orth was not a member of Congress, and he had no idea of again being in Congress, he accepted employment as attorney of Stilwell and General Talmadge, to assist them in recovering their percentage, paid by the Venezuelan Government under protest, on thece awards, and whjch was then in the State Department, and subsequently in procuring the passage of a law by Congress confirming the award. He acted and was paid as Attorney for Stilwell and Talmadge. His services were rendered while he was not a member of Congress, and terminated before he took his seat iu a subsequent Congress, in 1873. That ended his professional connection with the matter. But in July, 1873, he then being a member of Congress elect, he had on behalf of Talmadge corresponded with the State Departmenton the subject of payment of an installment on the certificates held by Talmadge. This, however, he had not done in his professional character. He identified the correspondence, a copy of which was in the hands of the committee. The name of Talmadge does not appear in it as the person for whom he was acting, but the name of Thomas Brown does. Orth's explanation is that Talmadge must have written to him that Brown was the holder of these certificates. Mr. Springer, who examined Mr. Orth, ifter milling tils attention to the fact that Stilwell wa TJnitod States Minister to Venezuela only a few months, and that Talmadge waB the American Commissioner who passed upon the claims, asked him if it did not occur to mm, when'onered this employment as attorney, that it was strange Stilwell and Talmadge should hold such large amounts of these cerliti-catea, the former having more than $70,-000 of them, and the latter a still larger sum; and whether it did not, therefore, occur to him that if he mentioned the came of Talmadge to the State Department as owner of these certificates suspicion would have been awakened, and payment prevented. Orth replied : No, for the State Department had paid to Talmadge, in 1871, an installment on other certificates which he had. DISTRICT OT COLUMBIA. The report of the committee on Dis trict of Columbia, charged with an investigation into the affairs of the District, haa been prepared.so far as a portion of the committee is concerned, by its Chairman, Mr. Buckner. It specifically charges the Commissioners with violations of law in expenditures of money, and says in re lation to the rsoara ot Audit tnat the evidence will fully sustain the committee in the statement that favored parties had no difficulty in having the claims audited, in some cases in which there was no merit, and in others for much more than was due; while other claimants, with eoual merit or demerit, were procrastinated and de layed until some person in communication with the accounting officer turns up to purchase, at a heavy discount, the claims thus hindered and delayed in their adjustment. The report gives names of thirtytwo persons who naa improper or erroneous allowances made to them, rang ing from $2000 to $0400, and aggregating $320,667. The report says if the inten tion and meaning of the act of June, Jo4, has not beeu greatly misconceived, there can be no doubt the Commissioners have added $3,091,046 to the debt of the D Btrlct, not only without warrant ot law, but against their own construction of their powers, ns shown by their report of December, 1874. The report says that in the investigation of some of the contracts of the Board of Health, it appears that with the Adoreleas Excavating Ap paratus company, of Baltimore, was made under citcuniBtances that leads to the suspicion (not to the conviction) that improper motives controlled two of the members of the Board awarding this contract Doctors Cox and Bliss who subsequently to the award received from the AdorlesB company certificates of preferred stock in the company guar anteeing seven per cent, per annum in-tereBt on $10,000, which they seem to have disposed of afterward to the President of the company. The committee Bay not only ought this contract to be cancelled and set aside, but your committee would call the attent on of tbe authori ties of the District to the propriety of bringing the contract ot Uox and cuss in thia matter before the grand jury, and having these officers indicted under section 5501 of the Revised Laws of the United States. PACIFIC RAILROADS. C. P. Huntington, Vice President of the Central 1'acmc Kailroad company, has written a letter to the Chairman of House committee on Judiciary, in which he savs the company recognizes as fully as the committee the desirability both to the Government and company, ot an equitable and final settlement of all mat. tera and Questions, of whatever kind, be tween them, and this he thinks can be effected by an amicable arbitration, with good results to both parties. If it should be determined by tbe committee to icaiBl upon the cash payments named by one of the committees, the company would prefer the contract as its leading question, at issue, to be settled in future on equitable terms. The contraction in values, he says, has largely exceeded the calculations of the company, and the amount received I from sales of lands has not bsen aa large aa was expected. The road was built in times of higher prices, and although eco nomically constructed cost a large sum and he raises the question whether the nation, it being tne principal Denenciary, should not share in the shrinkage, the saving to the Government every year being more than the annual interest it pays on tbe bonds of the company. Hecompares tne coat of transportation to tbe Uovero-ment before and after the opening of the road, and shows that the Government is now sending aiarge part of its freights to tne facino coast by water, and not bv rail, as was contemplated. He offers to give any information tbe committee desire in regard te the suggestion of his let ter, as tbe company is anxious to settle thia matter, so as to avoid misunder standing with regard to the true interpre tation oi tne contract. LOUISIANA INVESTIGATION. The committee on Federal Officers in Louisiana continued the examination of the witness u. W. Ferguson to-day.

THE CABINET REORGANIZATION, The sickness of J.

THE BLACK HILLS. The Cabinet considered, to some ex tent, the situation of arlaira in the Black Hills country. AaBurances have been given that an influential band of Sioux are willing to relinquish their domain there and remove to reservations in Indian Territory. All correspondence in that particular was referred to the Senretr the Interior, wno will give instructions to agents of the Interior Department regarding proper negotiations in that direction. Should this portion of the Sioux Nation signify a willingneas to settle in Indian Territory, the hope is expressed that the entire formidable part of the hostile Indian racemay soon be diminished in that territory.

New York Herald.) The new Secretary of War, James Don aid Cameron, or, as he is oalled in Penn. sylvania politics, Don Cameron, is the eldest son of tbe Hon. Simon Cameron, the senior Senator from the State of Pennsylvania. Mr. Cameron is now about fortytwo years of age, and was born in Pennsylvania. His mother waa formerly Miss Brun, a descendant of an old .Penn sylvania family. He was educated for a business life and became the President and Cashier of two or three banks in Harrisburg, Middletown and elsewhere. He took an active interest in the development of the railway system of Pennsylvania and was for some time the President of the Northern Central railway, the main line from Baltimore to Harrisburg, It was in tbe management of this road that the genius of Mr. Cameron for affairs for the government o! men and for handling large trusts firat became known. Mr. Cameron remained in the control of the Northern Central until the railway passed into the hands of the Pennsylvania Central, when he retired from the railway and gave his time to his personal af fairs and largely to politics. As his father, tne senator, retired Irom the active control of Pennsylvania politics on account of his advancing years. Mr.-Cameron as sumed his place and became known as a leader of courage, singular foresight and ability. Lacking the genial bon hommie of the Senator, Mr. Cameron was cold, re served and shy in his manner, and fused into the Republican party a discipline which it bad never betore known, even in Pennsylvania. Mr. Cameron is a man of large fortune, estimated at from $2,000,000 to $3,000,-000, and although his nomination may be unfavorably regarded by a wing of the Republican party in Pennsylvania, it will no doubt give satisfaction to the general bulk of the organization. ItB political meaning is that Mr. Cameron, as a supporter of Conkling, is recognized by President Grant. Mr. Cameron is a widower and resides at Harrisburg. Governor Noyes on the Hayes Movement.Cincinnati Co-. It, Y. Times. That it is quite possible the real strength of Gov. Hayes in the State has been underrated, and the action Ohio is to take in the Convention misstated, can be seen from a single incident. It was said to me, on what seemed to be good authority, that Gov. Noyes, although pretending to be for Hayes, was really for Morton, and would take the first opportunity to desert Hayes and go over to the Indiana Senator. Wishing to know the precise truth I went to Gen. Noyes and told him what I heard, without saying where or from whom I had obtained the information. His answer was quite emphatic, for he said, "I am squarely for Hayes, and have never indicated a second choice, because I have not, and do not now believe that it will be necessary to do so. You can assert as a fact beyond question that Ohio will not only ni t desert Hayes after the first ballot, but will continue to vote for him as long as there is a reasonable chance of his nomination, and that chance we do not expect to appear until tbe third or fourth ballot." This view of General Noyes waa also that of several others who will have influence in tbe delegation, and may be safely assumed to be at least a probability, of the future. It is quite possible, therefore, that the friends of Blaine and Morton who are counting on Ohio after the first ballot are engaged in the rather unprofitable business of enumerating men in buckram. It is true that the two classes stated are not actively supporting Hayes, but they do not, dare not, and will not openly oppose him. One of them would like Morton, and the other would like Bristow to step into his place, so that really Hayes is stronger than he seems. One of the earnest friends of the Governor said to me to-day, "Let Hayee live beyond the third ballot and he is sure of that nomination." Centennial Motes. New York Trihune 1 It is thought that all parts of the Exhibition will be in perfect condition by the end of the present week. It is specially mentioned that Russia's space is rapidly filling. Portugal and Turkey are making considerable progress. France has nearly completed her preparations. It hss been ascertained tbat 7000 persons from Mississippi will visit the Exhibition during the months of July and September. The Philadclphians plume themselves upon the exceeding elegance and beauty of the surgical instruments manufactured in that city and now on exhibition tbe lovely forceps and the charming splint which is spoken of as "a boon of comfort" to many a sufferer, to say nothing of the hip joint apparatus and the vest for broken ribs. This must be a very pleasing part of the show. It seems to be pretty well settled that the "Sunday opening question," as the desirability of opening the Exhibition daily haB now come to be called, will not be disturbed by the Centennial author! ties at least until the special meeting of the Commission on the 1st of July. Sheds are now provided for those who desire to drive to the Exhibition in their own vehicles. The photograph of the holder in a free ticket will be tigorously insisted upon af ter June 1. Changes In the Views ot Senators on be Question of Jurisdiction. . Special to the N. Y. World.) Washington, May 22. Since Thursday last there has been a marked change in the views of some Senators regarding the question of jurisdiction in the Belknap impeachment, and the opinion among thoBe well informed was that-the vote now Btopd in the negative. It is admitted that some head way has been made against taking jurisdiction oy the argument that a re publican House might go back and im peach those civil officers who left the Government in the South and did not account for funds, etc., and to Seoretary Chandler is attributed the statement that if Belknap were tuuvicieu inejuriaumuuu luus assumed might apply to one of his predecessors, ex-Secretary Thompson. Mr. Chandler sayB this was intended as a mere joke, but the fact is not denied that the point of it is having some effect In deciding the very important preoedent of jurisdiction. The debate promises to continue most of this week. Tbe Herald is managed with almost reckless lavishness; but its net earnings cannot be leas than $10,000 a week. New York Sun. HARRIED.
