THE RAILROAD CORRIFF'TION, Report of the Committee of the State Senate. Singular Developments. In the. Senate, at Harrisburg, yesterday, Mr. Lowry, from a Committee appointed in 1865, to investigate alleged corruption in the passages of a bill having reference to the consolidation of railroads in this State . (the *30,000 bribery case), made the following report: Your Committee, appointed at the close of the last session, to investigate an alleged attempt to procure by corrupt means, the passage of an act entitled "An act supple mentary to the act regulating Railroads," beg leave to submit the following. report: On march 23..,%, 1865, a bill, originating in the House, numbered 1349, and entitled as above, was called up in the Senate by the chairman of the committee. The object of the bill was to authorize the execution of a mortgage upon the Atlantic - and Great Western Railroad, for the security of its creditors. We understand that the legis latures of New York and Ohio. through which States this road passes, have enacted laws of similar character. The bill seemed to be one of vital importance to the creditors of the road, and was of itself unobjection able and just. It would have passed the Legislature without oppcisition or delay, had it not been announced, on the floor of the Senate by the Senator from Washington, Mr. Hopkins, and the Senator from Wayne, Mr. Beards lee, that they had reason to believe, and did believe, that money to the amount of twen ty-five thousand dollars had been brought to Harrisburg to be used improperly in pro curing the passage of the bill in question. Upon this revelation being made, the Chair man of the Committee deemed it due to the character of the Senate to ask for the post ponement of the consideration of the bill, and for the appointment of a committee to investigate the matter. The bill was accord ingly nostponect, and a Committee of Inves tigation was appointed, with power to send for persons ana. papers. 'lt will be remem. bered that this was on the day preceding the last on which, by the rules of the Legisla ture, legislation could be obtained. The salutary effect of the appointment of the committee was at once made apparent. It appears by , the testimony of Mr. Ward that Mr. Northrop, of Philadelphia, on learningthe action of the Senate, proceeded to inget the money from the parties who held it their possession, and handed it over to Mr. Ward for the purpose of being returned to Mr. Jackson, the agent of the Company. After the return of the money, the Commit tee advised the passage of the bill by the Senate, inasmuch as it was entirely proper of itself, and there were parties deeply inte rested in its passage who had borne no part in the base attempt to pass it by corrupt means. It accordingly passed and became a law. The Committee met before the ad journment of the Legislature, and examined two witnesses, whose testimony was imme diately submitted to the Senate. The time being inadequate to conclude the -investiga tion, leave was given the Commission to sit duringthe recess ofthe Legislature. Sessions of the Committee were held in Philadelphia on April 13 and May 3,1865. The following facts seem to be cleerly es tablished by the testimony thus far obtained, viz: First—That $30,000 were sent to Harris burg, during the last session of the Legisla ture, to be used in procuring the passage of the bill in question, or as stated by one of the witnesses, to "pay necessary expenses in getting it through." Second-That Mr. , Tatlow Jackson, of Philadelphia, agent for Mr. James Mc- Henry, a large creditor of the Atlantic and Great Westernßailroad Company, procured from Mr. Samuel Wann, another agent of 2,lcHenry's, in New York at least (f 25,000 of this money, and that be sent the said $25,000 to Harrisburg by the hand of his brother, Mr. John Jackson. Third—That Mr. Albert R. Schofield, of Philadelphia,, was instrumental in inducing Mr. Tatlow Jackson to believe that the em ployment of money was customary and necessary in procurmg legislation at Har risburg; that the said bill could not be framed without the employment of money, and that at least $25,000 of the said money was paidinto his hands. Fourth—That upon the exposure made by Senators Beardslee and Hopkins, and the immediate appointment of this committee of investigation, the said $25,000 were re turned to Mr. Jackson, intact. Fifth—That the additional $5,000 were re - tamed in the hands of Mr. Geo. Northrop, and subsequently divided among Messrs. Northrop, Mute and Schofield, and that no part of this said $5,000 was returned to Mr. Jackson. Sixth—That the Atlantic and Great Wes tern Railway Company, as such, was not, so far as now known, responsible for any part of the transaction, nor does any blame attach to the company therefor. Seventh—That none of the money was paid to or received by any member or officer of either branch of the Legislature or of the Government. The Committee subpoenaed seven wit messes in all, viz: C. L. Ward, John H. Brimner, Tatlow Jackson, John Jackson, William H. Witte, ' George Northrop and Albert R. Schofield. Messrs. Ward, Brim ner, White, Tatlow Jackson and Northrop, have appeared and submitted their testi mony, which is herewith annexed. Messrs. Ward and Brimner are not only without blame in the matter, but their con duct in the premises was eminently proper and praiseworthy. They learned for what "base uses" this money was obtained, and manfully exposed the wrong. Mr. Witte, in answer to our summons, appeared before the committee and testified. nls testimony mill be found to conflict on certain -points with that of the other wit nesses, to which attention will be hereafter directed. Mr.Tatlow Jackson's connection with the affair is a very peculiar one. Though guilty of an unlawful and highly reprehen sible act, he seems to have been quite as much "sinned against as sinning," and was evidently made a victim through the mis representations of designing men. Your Committee take this occasion to express the hope that the exposures of this investt- • gation will have the salutary effect of dis abusing his mind of the delusion that the emplopment of money is either legitimate or reqmsite to procure the passage by this Legislature of just and wholesome laws. Mr. Northrop appeared before your com mittee while sitting in Philadelphia in May last, and declined to testify. upo n th e meeting,_ however, of the present -Legisla ture, Mr. Northrop notified the committee of his willingness and desire to submit his testimony. He was accordingly Sworn and examined. His testimony will be found to conflict with that of two of the other wit nesses, to which attention will be herein after directed. Mr. Schofield declined to appear before the committee, and submitted a letter con taining his reasons therefor, of which the following is a copy: :PHILADELPHIA, May 3, 1865.—Dear Sir: With Fall dne deference to the honorable committee,. of which you are Chairman I regret, from professional reasons, which must be obvious to your mind, that I am not, able to testify, as requested in your letter of the' 14th inst. "Very respectfully, your obd't serv't, "ALBERT R. SCROVIELD, "Attoat rney Law, "No. 1522 N. Twelfth street. • B Lowry " !Won. . . Upon Mr. John Jackson the offiCerm' charge of the subpoena "faileil to serve per sonal notice, but left a copy of the same at the house of his brother, Tatlow Jackson, which we have reason to believe he received, but he did' not appear before the Committee. Your Committee desire to direct attention to the following, which appear among other conflicts of testimony—Mr. Tatlow JaCkson testifies that he sent the money to HUrris burg on the "advice of Mr. Northrop more than that of any other person." Mr.lNor throp on the contrary, testified that Mr.' Schofield told him that Mr. Jack.son pro mised him (Schofield) "certain payment for services in connection with the bill;" that he wished him (Northrop) to "say to Jackson that he would require $20,000;" thtit he (Northrop) replied that •'he knew nailing about the matter," and "as far as he was concerned desired no connection with a matter of money." That, on his return to Philadelphia, he roported to Mr. Jackson the request of Schofield, "informing Jackson at the, time that he (Northrop) did not see the necessity for money." Mr. William H. Witte itesti fled that he "never spoke to any member of the Senate or of the House, or to any person on the subject of the bill;" that he "has no knowledge of what means, if any,were used to influence any person with reference to it;" that he "rendered, no service to Mr. Jackson," and that be "did not hear, any thing said about the use of $5,000 to procure the passage of the bill through the House." Mr. Jackson, on the contrary, testifies that Mr. Witte "knew he (Jackson) sent the money," and that he (Witte) "was willing to assist him by his presence and influence." And Mr. George Northrop testifies that he was requested by Mr. Jackson to "com municate with the gentlemen who be (Jackson) believed "would assist him in this matter;" that after reaching Harris burg, Mr. Jackson sent him a check for two or three thousand dollars "by one of these two gentlemen:" that "after the bill passed the House he returned to Philadel phia, and one of these gentlemen, who had been to Harrisburg acting in behalf of Mr. Jackson in this matter, and who had known of his having the money and the amount of it, asked payment of it for his and the other gentleman's services;" that he asked for $3,250 which he paid him; that Mr. Jackson "afterwards approved of what was done," and that the said two gentlemen with whom he conferred, and to one of whom he paid the money, were "Mr. Wil liam H. Witte and Mr. Aloert B. Scho field." Your committee have reason to believe that Mr. Albert R. Schofield, Mr. Wm. H. Witte and Mr. George Northrop were "of one mind" in this matter, and that they combined to extort $30,000 from Mr. Tatlow Jackson by false and mischievous repre sentations, and that after a pretended offi ciousness around this Capitol in aid of his bill to which no one was opposed, they in tended to divide the money between them; that they never intended to pay any part of it to any member of either House of the Legislature; that they did so appropriate to themselves $5,000, and that but for the ex posures, in the Senate and the appointment of this committee, the balance of the money, to wit, $25,000 would have been likewise re tained and divided among them. Your Committee would express their re gret that one of the principal witnesses has declined to testify in the case, thus render ing the testimony somewhat defective, and placing himself in no enviable attitude in relation to this matter. While Mr. Tatlow Jackson, who employed this witness as his attorney, has come forward, and with a candor which does him credit, freely gives his testimony, this witness has, as wethink, very improperly sheltered himself under the pretext of professional duty. it is for the Senate to say how far he shall be pro tected by this excuse. In conclusion, your Committe beg leave to, report that they have examined all the witnesses in the case that it was in their power to reach, and to recommend that the Speaker issue his warrant for Mr. Albert R. Schofield, who has evaded the Cominittee by refusing to testify, and that he be brought before the bar of the Senate to answer such interrogatories touching the subject of this investigation as may be propounded to him. All of which is respectfully submitted.. M. B. LOWRY, W. A. RANSOM, Committee. WEGNER WORxtuNGTON, Harrisburg, Jan. 1866. Luvie-a; THE MAENNERCHOR BALL.—The annual ball of the Mhennerchor Musical ' Society came off last night at the Academy of Music,and,notwithstanding the snow storm., was well attended. The Academy presented a brilliant scene. The parquet circle, bal cony and family circle were filled with spectators, and the dancing floor was fully occupied. There were two bands, one for promenading and the other for dancing, both under the direction of Mr. Adolph Birgfeld. The display of fancy costumes was very fine, and until twelve o'clock about two-thirds of those present wore masks. A procession composed of members of the Society, dressed in various fantastical rigs, and some riding small mules, created. much merriment at the early stage of the ball. The affair passed off pleasantly, and the participants all enjoyed themselves in the highest degree. THE SABBATH QUESTION. The Sabbath Union held an adjourned meeting last even ing, at the West Arch Street Presbyterian Church. W. E. Tenbrook presided. On motion of Rev: J. Wheaton Smith, it was resolved that while no proper effort should be omitted for the prevention of contem plated violations of the Sabbath, attention should be specially directed to existing and greater violations. Mr. Jay Cook, who had been appointed President of the Union at the last meeting, declined the office on ac count of want of time for the proper fulfill ment of its duties, expressing, however, the fullest sympathy with the movement. The resignation was accepted. ALLEGED IMPOSTOR.—The public is can tioned against an impostor who is going about soliciting money to take him and his family to Boston, or some Northern city, where he pretends to have been offered a lucrative position.

He generally insinuates himself into a house after dark, deceiving the servant by his polite manner, and %mill arly inquiring for the master of the house by name.

PROGRESS OF IMPROVEMENTS.—The open ing of spring will witness an activity • Camden, so far as improvements are con cerned, which will greatly benefit the city Already more than one hundred buildin have been contracted for, which will commenced as soon as the season open In addition to these, there are several gen tlemen of capital who have organiz themselves into an association having i t their object the improvement of Camd They will, when fully and legally organ ized, purchase all the lands available in the suburbs or within the compactly, built up portions of the city, and begin at once the erection of several hundred dwelling houses) They will start with one hundred at a timei and when they are finished, another huni dred will be commenced, and thus the wor of improvement will go on until man hundreds of building will be added to th number already built. This spirit of enter prise has long been needed, because for number of years past it has been impossibl to accommodate the vast number of appli cations for houses. In very many instan two and three families occupy , the sam premises, ann even in such conditions, de mend for houses has been greater than th supply, THE COURT HOUSE. —Much complain has been made, in which nearly all who a connected with the transaction of busines at the Court, take part, in reference to th badly arranged construction of the interio of the Court House. The flues from th cells directly underneath the court-room admit the stench in such volumes at time as to interfere materially with the busine of the court. The prisoners amuse them selves burning old rags, paper, dtc., when , ever they can get them, in order to fill the room with smoke and other disagreeable smells. The Board of Chosen Freeholders) should have this nuisance remedied. STEALING CHICKENS. Farmers an others, residing in the vicinity of Camden,) have frequently been annoyed of late, by having their chickens and turkeys stolenl and carried away. Only a short time sineo one of them had about twenty stolen in on night, and on Monday a man convicted such larcenies, was taken to the peniten tiary for a year. Those indulging in such, pastimes, have little mercy shown them' when caught and found guilty.
