Mr. GRIMES. I dislike to say anything with regard to the charges that have been made by the Senfrom eutucky, but I think I ought to do so in justiceto myself at any rate. I suppose it is known to the members of this body, and I may as well state it here, that I have been a member of a sub committee that has had charge of the investigation in regard to one of the rebel States. Now, I desire to say to the Senfrom Kentucky, and to everybody else in the Senate and out of it, that there has not been a single persons name suggested to that sub committee by anyone claiming a seat either in this body or in the HoRep that has not been immediately summoned and examined at length before that committee. The committee have taken the testimony of both the gentlemen who claim seats in this body from Tennessee. They have taken the statement without any cross interrogatories at all, prepared by the persons who claim to be elected to seats in the HoRep from that State. Not a single person has been suggested to us by anyone of those members and it was at my instance, for I positively asked them severa times whether they desired anybody clse to be subpoenaed and called before us or not that we have not called and examined. I am not prepared to speak in regard to the other States, but I have no reason to believe that the course pursued has not been precisely the same in regard to the other States that it has been in regard to Tennessee. I only state what the record shows. You find the testimony and statements of each one of the Gentlemen whom I have designated as being persons who elaimed seats in this body and in the HoRep. In regard to General Fisk I have nothing further to say, except that he did not come here voluntarily to testif. The committee requested the SecyWarto order him here, and he came here. As soon as he was discharged by the committee he returned to his post of duty. In addition to that, I desire to say that his administration of the Freedmens Bureau was wholl and completely indorsed by Major Gen i cral homas, commanding that Dept. That is all I have to say.
