"When, in the good old honest day*
of democratic rule, was such bribery
and corruption heard of, as is now
witnessed in high places at \N ashing
ton ? Never the one hundredth part
of it. Investigating committees with
out number are now sitting, all to try :
senators, radical senators, tor bribery.
How the country is disgraced by the
developements made at NV ashing
ton I Nearly one-hall the radical
members of the once august United
States Senate, are accused of, and are
being tried by committees of tAeir own
porfy for obtaining their seats by bri
bery and corruption of the blackest
kind. Caldwell, recently elected
radical senator of Kansas has been
found guilty by the committee, and
bis seat declared vacant. Potuerov's
case is under investigation, ani the
most direct proof of his guilt has been
given, which takes in the bribe of
s£ooo to Col. York, and other sums
paid to and offered members of the
Kansas legislature:
Patterson, |carpet-bagger of South
Carolina, is another subject. Came
ron of this state another Senator, and
parson Harlan of lowa another —and
so on. Bah! such a senate, how it
contrasts with the body in the days of
Clay, Webster, Calhoun, Cass, Buc
hanan, and Wright
The Poland Committee-
"What U sauce for the goose is
sauce for the gander," is a saying that
did not seem to hare much weight
with the Poland Credit Mobilier com
mittee, judging it by its recent report
A half dozen leading radical members
of congress have been proven before
that committee steeped up to their
throats in the Credit J/obilier bribery,
and in company with them was found
one democrat, Mr. James Brooks, but
no deeper in the mire than Dawes,
Schofield, Colfax, Patterson, Ac., yet
the report of the committee whitewash
es the radical scoundrels, and recom
mends the expulsion of Brooks! Had
this latter gentleman been so fortu
nate as to belong to the radical faith,
the committee would have put the
whitewash on him as thick as on the
rest.
Shame on such justice! out upon
such glaring hypocrisy! The RE
PORTER does not, neither does any
democratic journal we know of, seek
to shield Ifr. Brooks, we are holding
him responsible for his actions, but
then that he should be punished and
disgraced, and the half dozen radicals
who were proven as guilty as he eve
ry whit and some more so, should be
mildly dealt with, is as damning an
outrage, as gross an insult to the peo
of this country, as has yet come to
light In another column we pub
lish an account of the scene attending
the reading of the report in the
house.
Philadelphia is asking the legisla
ture to appropriate one million dol
lars for the Centennial Celebration in
1876—we believe this has now been
cut down to balf-a-million. We
would say that an appropriation of
half-a-million, yea, of a million be
made, if the city guarantee to send
better men to the legislature ia the
future than she has in the past. The
Philadelphia delegation is the corrupt
leven that spoils the entire body, and
it is very seldom that a decent man is
elected from there. The dirty curb
atone politicians, shoulder hitters,
g&mblerg, and treasury plunderers,
are the itind of cattle that generally
represent Philadelphia in the legisla
ture, and if she could be induced to
•end the opposite of these tojtbe legis
lature by an appropriation of one mil
lion to the centennial, the state
would be the gainer thereby to the
amount of many millions of dollars.
The democracy of Connecticut held
their State Convention a few days
•go, and nominated Chas. R. Inger
soil, an old fashioned democrat for
governor, and Geo. G. Still, a liberal
republican for governor.
The democracy are in good hopes
of sweeping old Conn—they have
good nominees.
We see that in Lycoming county,
ill tbe county papers are subscribed
for by tbe board of commissioners and
sent to that office, where, we suppose,
they are kept on file. This is a good
idea, and.'sbould be imitated by all
counties. By a file of papers, a minute
record of every thing transpiring in
the county, is bad at a trifling cost,
and open to the examination of all.
How often do]persons find it necessary
to have just such a record to refer
to, and what more suitable place than
the commissioners' office, where other
Important records are kept? We
think that it would be of general bene
fit, if there were a law making it obli
gatory upon Co. Commr's to keep
files of county papers in their vaults.
An exchange wants to know what
has become of Latta's bill rel
ative to the state treasurer. We
suppose it was strangled in committee
like the Philadelphia building com
mission bill.
A Baltimore saloon is covered all
Utter tbe outside with oyster shells, so
pys an exchange, and we would add
that the radical party is covered all
Utter, outside and in, with Credit Ma
nlier and beuatorial bribery. ,

From the legislative proceeding*, i 1
February, 13:
No. 242, an act to repeal an act en
titled An act for the better and more
impartial selection of persons to serve <
as jurors in each of the eouutiee of
this Commonwealth, as far as the same <
relates to the count y of Allegheny.
Mr. Orvis moved to amend so ns to
include Centre county in the provi
sions of tho bill.
Tho amendment was agreed to.
No. 249, an act to exempt the Amer
ican Mechanics Hall in the city of
Philadelphia from taxation.
Mr. Orvis. \Vo have a long list of
bills ot this kind on every calendar,
anil I deaire the House to be put on
record as to its policy in reference to
this kind of legislation. 1 therefore
desire to call the yeas aud nays on the
final passage of the bill, aud it the
House seee fit to pass one bill of this
kind, all the others should be treated
: in the same way. j
On the final passage of the bill, the
1 yeas were 29, tne nays 4t> —Mr. Orvis
! voted no —so the question was deter
mined in the negative, and the bill
! fell.
No. 252, an act to exeiunt from tax-1
atiou the Odd Fellows' hall of the bor-1
ough of GraU, in the county of Dau
phiu.
The question recurring ou the nual
passage of the hill, #
Mr. Orvia. 1 move to amend iu the
fourth line by striking out the words
"of the borough of Grata, in the comi
ty of Dauphin," and inserting "all
Oild Fellows' halW in the Common
wealth." 1 make this amendment iu
good faith, for if it is right to exempt
one Odd Fellows' hall trom taxation
it is right to exempt all. We can do
this whole job by one hill instead of
having to pass five hundred separate
bills.
Mr. Heiges. 1 move to amend the
ameudment by inserting the words
"and all Masonic halls."
On the question, Will the House
agree to tho amendment? a division
was called aud resulted in a vote of
44 in the affirmative to 22 in the neg
ative, so the amendment was agreed
to.
The question recurring on the
amendment as amended, veas 33, nays
50.
So the question was determined iu
the negative.
Mi. Lawson. If 1 am in order 1
would like to ask a question about
that bill. In my couiatv most of these
buildings for Odd Fellows and Mason
ic societies have a large hall iu the up
per part, and the stories underneath
are rented for stores and similar pur
poses. * I want to know if this is a
building of the same diecription ?
Mr. Schminkey. There is a store
room in the basement.
Mr. Smith (Fayette). Before the
vote is taken I desire to say that by
legislation perhaps one-third of the in
stitutions of this character iu the State
are already exempt from taxation, and
Ido not Believe now is the proper
time to commence reform iu this mat
ter.
.Vr. Orvis. Does not the gentleman
think there is already property enough
exempt from taxation without increas
ing it?
The question recuring on the final
passage of the bill,
Mr. Orvis. Now I would like to
have Borne gentleman who is in favor
of this bill give some particular rea
son why it should pass, if a general
bill is not proper.
Mr. Hancock. I presume that
most of the other halls are already ex
empt as a general thine.
On the question, Shall the bill pass?
the yeas were 28, navs 47, Mr. Orvis
voting no, and the bill fell.
Constitutional Convention.
1 Mr. M'Allister offered a substitute
for the section which had been voted
down on Tuesday, as follows: All
elections shall be by ballot. Kvery
ballot vote shall be numbered in the
order in which it is received, and the
number recorded by the election offi
cers opposite the name of the elector
who presents the ballot. Each elector
shall endorse bis name upou bis bal
lot, or cause it to be endorsed thereou
and attested to by another elector of
the district, who shall not be an elec
tion officer : Provided, That the oath
prescribed for the election officers shall
require secrecy as to the contents of
every ballot cast at the election.
The questian was waimly discussed
by the same gentlemen who spoke
on the subject during Monday and
Tuesday of last week, their arguments
being of the same import pro and con.
Mr. M'Yeagh stated that before
coming to the convention this morn
ing he was informed that a reconsider
ation oi this section was agreed upou,
and that the members of one political
party had determined to be on hand
and force it through in the absence of
the delegates who were opposed to it.
[Sensation.]
Mr. Buckalew disclaimed any
knowledge of any such movement.
On motion, the committee rose, with
leave to sit to morrow.
The following was adopted :
SEC. —All laws regulating elections
by the people or for the registry of
electors shall be uniform in their op
eration throughout the State ; but no
elector shall be deprived of the privi
lege of voting by reason of his name
not being upon the registry.
The substitute was agreed to and
adopted as the section. The next sec
provided that any person bribing or
accepting a bribe should be deprived
of the right of suffrage, and that any
person challenged for such cause
should be required to swear that the
charge waa untrue before his vote
should be received.
J/r. Struthers offered a substitute
providing that bribery should disquali
fy a man from office. Mr. Iluckalew
said that the substitute belonged to
another part of the Constitution.
The substitue of Mr. Strother was
not agreed to.
Mr. White offered a substitute
similar in provisions to the sections as
reported, and adding the feature tbat
betting on the election should disquali
fy an elector. Not agreed to. The
section was then agreed to, and is as
follows :
BEC. —Any person who shall give or
promise, or oner to give to an elector
any money or other valuable consid
eration for bis vote at an election, or
for withholding tbe same, or who shall
give or promise to giv^such consider
ation to any other person or party for
tbe withholding thereof; and any elec
tor who shall receive for himself or
for another any money or other valu
able consideration for his vote at an
election, or for withholding the same,
shall thereby forfeit the right to vote
at such election; aud any elector
whose right to vote shall be challeng
ed for such cause before the election
officers, shall be required to swear or
affirm that tbe matter of the challenge
is untrue before his vote shall be re
ceived.
Tbe next section provides for the
disfranchisement of every person con
victed of fraudulent violation of tbe
election laws, but that tbe right inay
a* restored in particular cases by a
wo third vote of the legislature.
Agriculture In CoagrfM.
They havo now ami theu some pro
ceedings in Congress that are out of
the ordinary tract of legislation. Re
cently the Hon. K. S. Cox, represenU
live from N. Y. gave the llouae a
lively eutertaiument in a speech on a
proposition to increase the salary of
the Commissioner of Agriculture.
The report in the Congressional (llobe
is liberally interspersed with slaugh
ter ) which is not essential to the ap
preeiation of the humor :
Mr. Chairman 1 think there is a
good deal of undeserved reproach cast
on the noble Department of Agricul
ture. The gentleman from Illiuois
[Mr. Faruswoithjuudertook to say,
that the present CommiMiouer of Ag
riculture kept a cuisine to cook the
seeds sent to him from all parts of the
world. Other members sav he boards
and lives in our Pateut Offioe free of
expense. I recollect wbeu the Com
missioner of Agriculture used to
make butter for the presidential man
sion. Those were unctuous and hap
py days. The geutlest cows of Penn
sylvania furnished the milk, and there
was uo constitutional ouestion raised
on the cows. I remember well that a
former Commissioner raised strawber
ries for the presidential mansion. It
is a |>art of the business of that bu
reau. There is no question of its con
stitutionality. it seems we are uow
to have in the bureau a microscopist!
Iu fact it is a part of our new bureau
cratic system. Briug the microscope,
that it tuav see the insectivorous ani
mals which are preying upou and an
noying this useful bureau. I am
amazed that the House does not ap
preciate these reports on agriculture.
The Commissiouer ou the very first
page of his report tells us that the
•segrated character of the rural popu
laiion has been such as to forbid thai
concentration of ideas and consulta
tiou of views which are common to all
other professions and occupations!'
This is a species ot 'unabridged dic
tionary, language which fills the phi
lological and analytical mind with
wonder. But look to the end ! The
last page of the report advisee us, that
we may save $1,000,000,000 by dis
pensing with fencing! Let ns he ad
vised aud even do belter. Dispense
with barns, stables and houses; and
then will be careful and happy. I
admire economy —based on a concen
tration of rural ideas? Again, I turn
to the Commissioner's report of 1871.
I read from page sixty-n;ne. It is the
report of the entomologist and cura
tor ! God help us to a faithful lexi
con. We have just made a bureau of
the microscope. My friend from In
diana (Mr. Holman'opposes it; and I
never oppose him. W hat is this bu
reau ? It is, in fact, the bureau of
bugs! I deny that entomology as a
science does not include all bugs, hum
bugs not excluded. The Commission
er says that bugs are not insignificaut
insects as ibev are generally and er
roneously called. But, sir, tbey are
bugs, how, I always supposed that
entomology did refer to bugs. The
Commisioner gives the various modes
of finding these bugs ouL He tells
you of the (tdipoda atrox, which I hope
which I hope my friend from Ohio
! ( Mr. Garfield), who is now going away
from my seat, after instructing me in
Latin, will explain to the House.
There are various other bugs referred
to. We have the ealoptenusfemurreb
rum, and the ealoptenus spretut, and
the (tdipoda pellueida, the anabras
simplex, the eopiophora mucronaia, and
the pluiella limbiptnella. [Great laugh
ter.] These are for the common mind.
Educatioo forms it. Now these re
ports have been published at a great
expense, and this information is, of
course, intended for the common peo-
pie. I hope the gentlemen will be
able to explain to the House what all
these things are. Let there be annota
tions go out with these reports, Mr.
Chairman. But, Mr. Chairman, I
have only risen for the purpose of hav
ing the House understand the aston-
ishiug effect of these agricultural re
ports, not only upoo the people in the
country, but upon the people in the
city. 1 acknowledge that the effect ia
different according to locality. I now
represent a city, though by some mis
apprehension in the campaign the
people of New York State outside of
our grand metropolis voted for me to
represent them. I fell short in the
country. To be sure I carried that
city by some twenty-five thousand!
though I may not, owing to misap
frehensions be with you next Congress
must refer to the effect of these re
ports on the city. The effect upon the
wicked citv of Philadelphia, which
acted so badly in the late election, is
especially notable. I refer to it for
the purpose of calling the attention of
my friend from Philadelphia (.Mr.|
Kelley) to the dreadful consequence
he imposes upon his constituents in:
sending these reports into the heart
of Philadelphia. Read very slowly,
Mr. Clerk, the extract I send up from
the Dispatch of Philadelphia, showing
the direful effects of these terrible re-,
ports. [The Clerk read (con express-'
ione) as follows :1
"We owe our thanks to Judge Kel
-I*'V for the latest Patent Office report.
We already have sixteen hundred of
these interesting volumes in our little
library, but they have been read and
reread so many times that we know
every page of them by heart. This
new volume came opportunely and
gratefully on Cbristmast morning, and
that night we gathered our little fam
ily around the fire and read it through
to them. The affecting tale entitled
"Improvement in Monkey Wrench
es,"seemed to touch every heart; aud
when we came to the climax of the
little story about "Reversible Pie
Boards," there was not a dry eye be
tween the front door and the stable.j
During reading of the piteous narra
tive entitled "Gum Washers for Car
riage Axiea," the whole familjr gave
expression to boisterous emotion, and
the hired girl was so much excited
that she lost her presence of mind and
went around to her mother's inadver
tently with six pounds of sugar and a
butter kettle full of flour, and came
home at midnight intoxicated. We
can never sufficiently thank Judge
Kelley for the innocent enjoyment
thus furnished us. The memory of
that happy evening will linger in our
minds very much longer than that hir
ed girl ever lingers when she lights on
a lot of substance which she thinks
will suit the constitution of her aged
parent." [Great laughter.]
Impeachment of Calfax Defeated.
The house, by a vote of 106 to 109,
refused to receive the resolution of im
peachment of Colfax.
Six Republicans voted with tbe
Democratic side of tbe House, 20tb,
in favor of instructing tbe Judiciary
Committee to bring articles of im
peachmont against Vice President
Colfax. This gave the Vice Presi
dent a very narrow escape, as there
were only four votes to spare. A lees
pointed reference of the case to the
Judiciary Committee was subsequent
ly ordered without a division of the

Washington, Fob. 11 - The member* o!
Ilia Committee were all in their oat at ll>
o'clock, and Vice-President Colfax and
hie counel were early un hand. For
Dearly an hour everybody wailed im
patiently for the appearance of Ames.
AI 11>.30 the Seigeanlat-Arms wu direct
ed te hunt him up. It war almost 11 when
he came ia, quite out of breath, and took
hii aecuetomed seat at the Committee
table. Judge Poland asked him if he
war ready to produce hi* memorandum
book, lie replied that he preferred not
to shew it until Mr. Colfax had made the
effort to impeach his testimony, which he
understood he meant to make.
The account* of each man on the list of
implicated Congresmen were taken up in
succession, and Mr. Ames found the en
tries and passed up the book to Judge Po
land through the hands of Mr Clark, open
at the proper page. The book was in the
form ola diary, with the date* primed at
the tep of the pages, .and the 'note* of the
Credit Mobilier transactions appeared mix
ed up with a variety of other entries.
There was an entry of the original
transaction iu every case, and a subse
quent credit of tbe proceeds of the sale of
the first bond dividend Then on the
back part of the book appeared a list of
the persons with the amount of money due
to each on account of the June dividends.
Ail the familiar names were there, and a
new one not before mentioned, that of Mr.
Stetson, who is said to he a son-in-law of
the late Congressman Kliot of Massachu
setts. Mr. Kliot, it will be remembered,
was named in the lut on the back of Mr.
[Ames' letter to Col. McComb.
Opposite each name on this list was a
cross. Mr. Ames said the list was made
to aid his memory, and show whe were en
titled te have tha dividend*, and how
much was coming to each, and that the
crosses were made to check off the leaves
when the person* were paid. In addition
to this list, there appeared oa the back of
the book a statement ef the account* of
Mr. Ames all .of which were crossed oil
except that ot Messrs. Colfax, Garfield and
Kelley, indicating, as Mr. AUKS explain
ed, that there had been a settlement with
all but these three.
Thie was not all of Mr Ames' documen
tary evidence. Ue exhibited a dirty half
sheet of paper with three statement* of ac
counts upon it, one showing the amount
due frsm the holders of 30 shares of Cred
it Mobilier -leek, after the proceed* ef the
sale of the first road dividend had been de
ducted ; another making the tame ribibil
as to 'JO shares, aad a third at to 10 shares.
This sheet, Mr. Ames laid, he had
shown to all tha Congressmen who took
the stock, to let them see how their ac
count stoed prior to the payment of the
dividend of June, 18CK. The memoran
dum bock fully corroborated all of Mr.
Ames' previous testimony, lie made BO
.qualification of anything he said in hi*
former evidence, except in the rase of Mr
Garfield. Mr. Ames said that it was pos
sible that be did not show him a statement
and that Mr. Garfield mig.it not have un
derstood the transaction as he did w hen he
paid him the $829.
After the lUCB memorandum book bad
boon thoroughly gone over in search of
entries relating to the unfortunato Con
gressmen, Mr. Ames produced another
book like it, which proved to contain
his 1&C memoranda. Ue read from this
an eatry dated Jan. 22, a* follows: ".''aid
S. Colfax s<X> 76 interest on $l,!*CO certifi
cates U. P. R. R." This entry brought
out an entirely new point in the invcsliga
gallon.
Mr. Ames mid Credit Mobilier trustee*
were able to get the Union Pacific stock
which they wanted to distribute a* divi
dends and issued certificates to the Credit
Mobilier stockholders showing the num
ber of these shares each was entitled t.
and that,! in January, IWU, interest was
paid on these certificates. lie got the in
terest due Mr. Colfax and paid the other
Congressmen, made a list on a slip, and
"Paid them all off in cash."
Mr. Ames was askad if he bad found any
receipts from Congressmen, and replied,
in an equivocal way, that he was having
bis paper* examined at home, and if there
were any receipts they would bo sent him.
This answer and his mnnner were so pecu
liar, that the Committee and olhori sus
pected that he had receipt* and meant to
bold them back and play them ns his
trump 'cards at the end of. the inves
tigation.
After a cross-examination of Mr. Ames
by Mr. llale. |Colfax made a statement,
and produced witnesses in bis defense.
( Congressman Brook's Adduces Testi
, moDj in Defense of His Chancier.
Washington, February 6.—At the sit
ting of Poland's Committeo this morning,
Congressman Brooks submitted a letter
from ex-Secretary Browning, dated March
21, 1868, transmitting bis commission as
Government Director of the Union Pacific
" Railroad, and staled that it was tho 27th of
December, 1867, that Neilson got his shares
from Durant.
Hon. James M. Beck, of Kentucky, urns
sworn and examined by Mr Brooks.
Witness was a member of the Conference
Committee in relation to the interest ques
tion of the Union Pacific Railroad ; bus
bson very intimate with Mr. Brooks, and
does not remember of Brooks ever speak
ing to him in any shape or form whatever
in regard to the Pacific Road.
Witness, with a majority of the Confer
ence Committee, agreed that tho law was
on tho s'de of the Pacific Railroad ; had no
' sort of recollection that Brooks over open
i ed his mouth to bim on the subject, cither
directly or indirectly.
Hon. Daniel W. Voorhccs was sworn
and examined by Brooks. Witness was
| a member of tho Pacific Railroad Coiu
jpany during that session of Ccngrcas and
'had questions up in which the Union Pa
cific Read was deeply interested. Mr.
I Brooks lever spoke to witness on the sub
ject of Pacific Roads, and never appeared
| before the Railroad Ceinmittoo on any
measure before it.
Mr. Brooks stated that the charge bad
bean mado that be received shares to in
fluence members of Congress, and this tes
timony was to show that ho had never
made any such attempt. If tho Commit
toe desired any further ovidence bo hoped
they would call any member en the Dem
ocratic side.
An Opinion of Credit Mobiher.
Horace T. Clark, President of tho Union
Pacific, was examined by Mr. Brooks.
He testified that ho never had any interest
in the Credit Mobilier; deemed it te haz
ardous, as he regarded it as a construction
company; part of the workmen had to
guard the others while the road was build
ing. Tho witness' ezaminatien as to the
construction of the road developed nothing
new. One hundred par cent, was not re- j
garded as a large profit on construction ;
did not think capital oould be raised now j
to build the Union Pacific, even if ten
millions of profits were guaranteed.

>cft were Judges Kelley and Bccfield, of
t'enhsylvania, apparently unconcerned
over the expected report. Coming down
the left hahd side aisle, and nearer the
Speaker's chair, was the gruff, though not
unpleasant face of Oakes Ames who was
graced on one side hy Chaplain Newman,
of the Senate and on the other by Chap,
lain Butler, of the House. This tanrtime
nious seeming elicited not a little merri
ment at Mr. Ames's expense. The mo
mcnt Speaker Blaine took the chair the
gavel fell and the House was hushed into
•ilence. The Committee appointed on De
cember 3 to Investigate inte the alleged
charges of bribery, Ac.. were ready now to
übmit their report, (lake* Ante* at once
g'aded into belter heariug quarter* nearer
the clerk's desk by getting the fr.-nt seat
next to Job Stevenson, of Ohio. Speaker
itiaine called Mr. Cox. of New York, to
the chair, and took a seat on the floor side
vb side with his fidut Achates, Mr. Hale
of Maine Mr Poland had simply pro
posed that the report should be printed
.sad a day named for its consideration.
The House **, however, not to be de
prived of its sensation. "I-et it be read 1"
| "Let it be read!'' sheuted half a doacn,
and without a moment's delay pro tern.
1 Speaker Cox ordered Clerk McPherion to
read it. Every ear wa# wide open. The
'inculpated Congremvn *aw nobody but
the Clerk. Their eyes were intent upon
| him. and their ear* caught every word.
When the report took up the list of names
*nd disposed of each member in order the
interest become intensified. And yet each
■ne sal in his seal as immovable and as
rigid as if held in place by a sheathing ef
; mail. Not one seemed to betray any ner
' \oui vigor unless it faintly crept eul from
the selt-oontrol of Mr. Brooks, who sat
•lolialy in hit seat N sine after name was
passed by till the account f Messrs. Bing-
ham, Dawes, Shufield, and Kelley had
been rendered by the Committee. Then
came their final Judgement; and it may be
imagined that the House bristled with sur
prise as the Clerk read this paragraph :
"The Committee do not find that either of
110 above named gentlemen in contracting
with Mr. Ames had a corrupt motive or
purpose himself or was aware that Mr.
Ames had any, nor did either of them sup
!-.-* he wa guilty of any impropriety er
! indelicacy in becoming a purchaser of this
| stock. Had it appeared that these gentle
linen were aware of the enormous dividends
! upon the stock and how they were to be
earned, we could not then acquit them.''
And also soon after, when the Clerk read
these lines: "The Committee find nothing
in the conduct or motives of these member*
in taking this atock that calls fur any
recommendation by the committee," the
whole Houto looked at Messrs. Dawes,
Garfield and company, and Messrs. Gar
field, Dawes and company looked at the
whole House. Those gentlemen meved
more easily in their seats. Tho pro
file of Dawes's face was turned clear
around ; Garfield threw his big head back
a Ibr oat bod deepei and longor; but Kol
lcy and Bingham looked as sulicu and
rabid as emr, while the good-natured face
of Judge Scofleld had not from the sUrt
changed its pleasant expression. But the
attention was quickly diverted again to the
reading. Tho Clerk had already com
menced on Ames's case, and when he came
to tho part that indicated severe conclu
sions Ames lifted his bushy head, settled
his sace into that rigidity which is iu weut
and carelessly fumbled a piece of paper on
his desk. When the report alluded to his
buying and selling votes the old man's
face relaxed and broke iato a derisivegrin.
It, however, soon become fixed enough
and solemn enough when the Clerk read
for the first time, amid a silence as quies
cent as death itself* "Rtsolved, lhat
Oakcs Ames be, and he hereby is, expelled
at a member of this House." But in all
this timo Mr. Brooks had .lot smiled if Mr.
Amc* had smilod. The New York mem
ber opened a law book and laid it before
him, and then leaning his left arm on the
desk and resting his head on his left hand
calmly awaifcd tho sentoncc that followed
It came seon enough. "Retotrcd, read
the Clerk, "That Jauies Brooks be, and he
hereby is, expelled as a member of this
House," This ws* the last lino of the re
pbrt.
The Clerk set down. The stillness that
was upon the lleusn was krekcn. Mr
Brooks arose, Mr. Poland arose. General
Uarnsworth went across the aisle and spoke
to Mr. Biooks. Mr. Voorhees caine down
|and also said something te him. There
was evidently kindly sympathy for the
man who had passed the meridian of his
public life and was so fast hastening to its
setting. But Mr. Poland spoke lirst. Ho
made the customary motion to print and
to name the day to consider the report.
Before the motion to print was put Mr.
: Brooks asked leave to make remarks after
this "unjust partial, and persecuting re
poit," as he called it. Mr. Poland, of
course, had no objection. Nearly half the I
houso rose to their feet as Mr. Brooks pro
cec 'cd without trepidation and in a calm,
clear voice to say :
1 desire to submit to the House, in reply
to w haf seems to me a most partial, un
just, and oerseculing report, tww docu
ments which have not been noticed at all
|by the Committee. The first of these doc
-1 uments is the procet verbal of enaction in
•tltutad by M'Comb in the Subreme Court
of Pennsylvania against the Credit Mobl
lier, in December, 1867, containing a list
of stockholders as long ago at December,
1887.
Mr. Poland said that the list was print
ed at length in the testimony.
Mr. Brooks—But it if not alluded to in
the rejort.
Mr. Poland Wo t)at] no occaaioii to al
lude In It In tbo ro|.rt If it ha* any hear
ing on the rate It will ha before the 1 lome,
becauifl it i* part of thn tt-ititnony. i do
not deign t<> be lad into tht uUeuiti >ti
i now.
The list we* roe J, the point of it being
tbet Mr. Brook*' neme dill not appear a*
e stockholder et that time of (be Credit M o
bilier, and tliat Chariot N. Nelaon't nemo
li 'appear at a stockholder of I.K) share*,
and that thi wa* before Mr. Ilrookn •
appointed a* Government Director.
Mr. ltreok* alto presented the proce*
verbal of another tuft in Pennsylvania be
tween the *aiue parties. showing tho tame
►tale of fact* in respect to Neilsua holding
any. Mr Poland remarked that a* thnee
paper* had been presented, he would
merely ay (hat although the tuil wa* as
titled a of a certain term, all the evidence
wa* that the tuit wa* net actually com*
men red till the fall of Jtein. and although
a paper attached to tome of the proceed*
ingt in thai tuit gave the dale of Decem
ber lit, iNii, a* the date of that tbarehold
er*' litt, there wat no question at all that
the lliu shares were given on tho l>>tb of
December and the fifty share* on the tfitlh
of February thereafter. Mr. Brookt re
marked that a man may be the owner of
•tock lung before hit ownership become* a
matter of record. Ho called attention to
the tact that en *everal occattoni be bad
either voted again*t the interest of the Cn
ion Facile Railroad Company or had re
frained from voting. Mr. liutler, of
Massachusetts, suggested that the ditcut*
tion of the subject thould be fixed for
Tuetday next. Mr. Foland had no objec
tion to that. A* to the •luetlion of the dale
of the ow nerabip of the ttock it wa* not
contended at all that it ttood in Mr. Neil
tou t name until the dale* oi the oertil
catc*. A* to Mr. Brook * vote* in Con
gret*. he (Poland) would merely remark
that at one time the Pacific ltailroad
Company and tba Credit Mobilier we e di
vided in interest, and that Mr. Brook*'*
action and rote* had been on the *i )c rep
resented by Mr Durant, irom whom be
had received the ttock.
It wa* quite four o'clock w'lon the re
port wa* laid over Ull Tisesoay and the
vast crowd filt-1 out of the Ce. tol into the
fr*h tpring-like air ofthi* February after
noon. Yariou* were the opinion* ex
pre**ed and quite tingularly did they con
ct r Everybody thought the omission to
mention Colfax for impeacLruonl, to com
ment severely on the lying and perjury
drvelo|>ed and that all had escaped with
out cen*urc, save Mcttr*. Amn and
Brooks, ware fatal errors which would o
shape public epinion a* to save those two
from being made scape-goat* by ex pulsion.
General Butler take* tbi* view a* do many
others, and next week when the rejsort
come* up there will indeed be a scene.
UoRRIBLK OCCURRENCE—A MAN
DRAWN FEET FOREMOST BE
TWEE!* IRON ROLLERS.
Nxwai no, N Y., February 17.—1t is
*carcely ever within the province of a
newspaper to chronicla a more sickening
accident than that which nappened to
James MiUigan, who was drawn feet fore
most through two massive iron rollers on
ly three and half inches apart and which
are used in flattening ban of steel for thej
plates of saw* Mr. Milligan was employed
a* blacksmith's helper in the steel rolling
mill of Wheeler, Madden A Clcmson.
; He wa* climbing upon a board laid acrots
rods over the rollers, ia order to place in
position a wrench which is u*ed to regu
late the space through which the heated
steel and iron are passed, when the hoard
suddenly tipped, causing him to fall. Hi*
feet struck upon the rtrep id in front of
the rollers, which were revolving at the
rate of tiity times a minute, and were In
stantly caught between them. The poor
j fellow had only time to utter the single
cry of Oh! while his body, feet foremost,
was being drawn through a space of only
three and a half inches. Hardly a second
had alapsed before the body was a shape
less mass of flesh, blood, bones, gad clothe*
presenting, as it did, the most horrible and
sickening sigbt that eye* could look upon.
It dropped frem the rollers a limp and
quivering moss, and when straightened
< At covered a pace of ground that two
men would occupy. Not a whole or j-ef
fect bone remained in the body, and many
bone* were protruding through the fle-h
and clothing at different places. The head
wa* a fearful fight to look upon. It hgd
gone through the roller* face upwards, and
it came out completely flattened and par
tially turned. Flowing from the smashed
skull were the brains and blood in a stream
sickening to behold. Strong minded,
able-bodied men. were herrifled and hard
ly able to look at the scene, which really
beggars description. His comrads who
witnessed the terrible affair were struck
dumb with awe. and rendered abnot mo
tionless and a* silent a* the corpse before
them, except when questioned. The de
ceased served three year* in the late war,
wa* about thirty-three year* old, and
leave* a wife and two little chlldred in
moderate circumstance*.
Terrible Ext>loaion—Thirty or Forty
Miners Killed.
London, February 18—An explosion
