SPBCIiIi DESPATCHES to“ THE PRESS.”
Washington, June 8,1860.
ALLEGED OORRUPTIONS IN .THE LUZERNE CON
GRESSIONAL DISTRICT, PENNSYLVANIA.
Thb following withesses. were this 1 morning
examined betide the Covode Committee:
The first wltnessoatied’was Hon.' Geoxigb San
debson, of Borantos, Fa. He deposed as follows :
'Mr. Bandbbson stated that he did not know of
any money being used to eloot Colonel BchAtrroN;
none was disbursed through his bankidg bffioe for
that purpose that he was aware of, nor did ho know
of any money being nsed by othefs to elbot Colonel
86banton. In answer to the question-JhoW he
accounted for so. great change in the vote of the
.district, if money was not 1 used, Mr.
replied that several causes contributed. The
prinolpal causes were the prevalent dissatis
faction among tho Democrats with tho course of
tho Administration.on the Kansas question; a largo
number; were. anti-Leoompton or .Douglas men, a
muoh larger! olass pf this kind than was supposed.
Those who differed with the Administration upon
that question .would not consent ,to, support Mr.
Lbibv if renominated—he was. renominated and
his course approved, by the Conference; another
cause ,was the,prevalent discontent among tho
ooal'Snd iron operators, miners, and laborers.in
the mines,'furnaces, and rolling mills; that the
reason for their not being employed, or employed
at low wages, was the want of a suitable tariff, and
that Colonel Scranton was just the man to help
remedy tho evil. This feeling was wide-spread
and intense throughout the district. '
Another cause was the .prestige of Colonel
Scbantor’s name, as the,successful projector of
the enterprises that had developed, the mining
weplth of that region. , .. . >
Another was the-conservative position of Col.
Bgbantqn., He was known to have voted for the
election of Gov. Pacekr, and at various times for
other Demoorats; it was understood that it was his
custom to vote for those he believed the beßt men>
and thiß way disarmed the Demoorats ef prejudice
against him;'
Mr. J. Hnnrt Poleston was next examined.;
He testified to having been in company with Mr.
Scranton during the greater part of the con
test, travelling with Mr. S. through the district,
aftd attending to the work of the canvass. He
knew of no improper use of money, directly or
indireotly, and attributed the great ohange in the
vote of the district to the extreme popularity of
Colonel Scranton, and the great disgust gene
rally felt in tho distriot towards the pre
sent Administration. Colonel Scranton was,
too, known to be tine to the interests of
Pennsylvania whilst the Demooratlo party bad
failed to impress the people of the distriot, es
pecially the mining olass, with the sincerity of its
professions in favor of a protective policy. Mr.
Scranton was, therefore, elected by •majority of
about 4,000 in a distriot previously 4,000 the other
way. In Scranton be had almost an unanimous
vote, and in Pittston, where Dr. Poleston
resides, having a population of about 8,000, usually
Democratic, only thirty-five votes were polled for
the Demooratlo nominee.
Mr. Puleston forth r stated that Mr. Scranton
was supported by a number oi the leading Demo
crats of the oounty, who were now naturally in
dignant at the charge brought forward tonohing, as
thoy consider it does, their personal integrity.
ThenextwitnessswornwasDr A. Davis, the edi
tor of the Scranton Herald, one of the Demooratlo
organs in the county. In Answer to'interroga
tories, Mr. Davis stated that he supported Colonel
Scranton for Congress. Bo added: “ I did not
reoeive any peouniary compensation for se doing,
nor have I any knowledge of any money being
used by others. Before the Demooratlo nomina
tion was made, I told the. conferees that X would
not support Mr. McßsynqlPS if he was nomi
nated; and the reason why Sokarton was elected
in a Demooratlo distriot was on acooqnt of Afo
Reynolds’ unpopularity, and the popularity of
Mr. Scranton, who was then believed to bo a con
servative man.”
Mr. D. 8. Koon, a lawyer, residing in Pitjtston,
at whose instigation this trumpery oharge against
Mr. Scranton is understood to have been made,
was examined, but could testify to nothing having
a material bearing on the oaso; and what ho did
Bay in reference to a certain thirty dollars, whioh
some person, through Mr. Koon, tried to ooeroe
Scranton into paying was, in Mr. Puleston’s sub
sequent testimony, thoroughly exposed— Koon’s
part in the transaction not helping the case any.
After eliciting a few more facts from Mr. Pulk
ston, who was very emphatic in all his declara
tions, the committee were perfectly satisfied that
Mr. honor and integrity could, bo In no
way impeached, and at the suggestion of Gov.
Winslow, it wasdeoided that no farther testimony
should be heard.
We understand there are several more witness
es in town, who are disappointed at not having an
opportunity of putting themselves right on tho re
cord.
TSE Philadelphia, piyrmcp attorney case,
IN 1856, BEFORE THE CpyODE COMMITTEE.
William B. Mann, Esq., of Philadelphia,called.
I was a candidate in 1856, for District Attorney.
The return against me was 551; after a contest I
was deolared elected by the court by upwards ef
500 majority. The largest amount of fraud proven
was in the Fourth ward—Sixth, Seventh, and
Eighth precincts. The Eighth is known as Mc-
Mullen’s Preolaot. The offioerßof that preoinot
have been convicted of perpetratiog frauds at
elections and sentenced to prison—and while In
prison under sentence the Demooratlo party in
the precinct re-eleotcd them both to serve for ano
ther year. I have heard that after tbe October
election, an effort wpß made to buy these men, and
their friends, or some of them, to keep theuwfrom
cheating.
Money was obtained from parties in Philadel
phia who were afterwards bound over, but tho
proseoution was never followed np.
I can procure, if neceefary, copies of thff record
ofthe contested election caao, tho couviotion of the
election officers, and the prosecution of tho per
sons who wore charged with attempting to bribe
tbe Fourth-ward parties.

the witnesses summoned by the adminis

The otnse of the difficulty between Messrs.

the anxiety of Mr. Winslow to have certain wit
nesses summoned before the Covode Committee
from the distriot now represented by Col. Scranton,
who, it was alleged, had been elected by the expen

have folly vindicated Scranton; and I hear that
Mr. Winblow will make the ame?ide honorable.
It appears that Mr. W. aoted upon information

The Japanese Currency Question. 1
Washington, Jane B. —Two of the offioers of the
Treasury Department spent several hours with tho
Japanese last night on'the subjeot ef currency,
their object being to obtain all possible
with a view to the regulation of commercial trans
actions, but nothing definite has so far been accom
plished, owing to the compliolty of the subjeot.
Mr. Gouge has prepared a statement, whloh will
be translated for the benefit of the Japanese, giving
the standard value of our ooins, together with
important suggenions. It appears that the Ja
panese have t&uoh knowledge of the refining of
silver and the baser metals, but not so muoh as to
gold. Their denominational coins of ‘ this metal
are not of a uniform standard, ohanges havlng'b eeQ
made, even within the last eighteen months, for
the purpose, It Is supposed, of counteracting the
sohemesjof ipeoaction in the currency.
The Japanese are to witness the refining of gold
at the Philadelphia mint. The main difficulty is
with regard to fixing the relative value of gold,
and It is thought a long time must eUpse befofe an
intelligent and satisfactory understanding can take
place between the two countries on this snbjoot.

Washington, June B.— At half past eight o'clock
this merning, the Japanese'Ambassadors and their
suite loft the city by a special train for Balti
more. There was no escort or display attending
their departure;'but they were conveyed private
ly in carriages from Willards’ to thexailroad sta
tion, Moet.of thoir.baggage will bo sent by sea to
New York. -
After getting into .the oars; they opened all the
windows, bo as to get a good view,' and (hoy re
peatedly. shewed delight at the soenory and the
appearanoo ot the country.
Little Tommy, who has been so much potted in
Washington, was muoh grieved at leaving there.
The reHt of the party seemed rather glad to get
away,
Baltimobe, June B.— Tho oity was early astir
to-day, in anticipation of the arrival of the Ja
panese Embassy. In every direction Amerioan
and Japanese flagß were soon, and-Baltimore
street, and other streets through which the pro
cession was to pass, were soon filled with a douse
mass of people,
At half past ton o’clock, a salute of seventeen
guns announced the arrival of the special train at
the Camden street station. The military were out
in full foroe, under the command of Major-General
Stuart.
The train reached the Baltimore depot a little
before ten o’clock, and Was saluted by shriekSfrom
a mob of boys, who thrust their heads in at the
windows, -
A large police force was present* keeping an
.open spaoe around tho cars. A committee of tho
City Council was in watting, each bearing a badge
of office; and the Ambassadors were introduced to
them within the depot,
. Outside, the windows, roofs, and every, available
spot for soring, were packed full of people. A 1
train of carriages were in waiting, in which the
Japanese were placed, with a guard of soldiery,
coneietiDg of the Independent Grays and the Low
oil Grays, one on each side of the carriage. The
police arrangements were very good. The huge
orowds wore promptly obeoked whenever they be
came intrusive.
After the carriages had passed in review a fine
force of military, all, saluting, and a brilliant line
of firemen and steam engines, thoy took the lead
and the procession passed along Baltimore street. 1
Thousands upon thousands of people filled the
aidewAiks, and the windows of every house were
filled with ladies, who waved their handkorohiefs
as the procession passed. Every demonstration of
curiosity was maae, but thore was no disorder or
violence.
JSaoh Ambassador had a carriage to himself, and
was attended by a member ef the naval commis
sion. Ab the prooesßipn advanced thoy showed
great reserve, seeming to notice nobody. Tho sdb
ordinates, however, manifested great interest at the
scene, acknowledging and returning salutations,
and by their courteous manners, creating conside
rable enthusiasm Among the masses. Some of the
•visitors werqtfo polite as to tako off their quaint
hats and raise them in true Amerioan fashion to
the ladies.
The procession halted at the hall of tho Mary
land institute, whioh was gracefully festooned
with flags, do. The Ambassadors woro oonduotod
to a platform at one end, a band of music
was playing at tho other end. The galleries were
full of ladles.'
On the platform woro the Mayor and members
ot the Oity Councils, representatives of foreign
nations, officers of the army and navy in full uni
form, and &U tho Japanese. Some of the latter,
as soon as they got on tho platform, quietly took
out their pipes and began to smoke. The people
who orewdod the floor of tho hall struggled to get
at them on the platform.
When nil hod got properly placed on the plat
form, Mayor Swann was introduced to the Am
bassadors and addressed them Ho Biid that as
tho official representative of more than a quarter
of a million of people, and oo operating with the
President of the United States, ho bid them wel
come. Their presence here was a compliment to
a great and rising nation, which was appreciated
by all olasses of our'btilTens. Baltimore was the
first in tho chain of populous oities in this ooun
try, to hold intercourse with them. He hoped
that their mission, so excellently conceived by
the Tycoon, and so ably executed by their Excel
lenofca, would be produotivo of great good to both
nations:
The speech of the Mayor was responded to by
Simme Bogon-No-Kami, who thanked him for the
reception, and reoiprooated • the good wishes ex
pressed. Ho desired that his oompliments should
be presented to all the offioials present.
After the Embassy left tho Hall the military
were dismissed. The Japanese resumed their
plaoes in the carriages, and are now going over a
route of a mile or two under a warm sun. By the
time thoy roach the GUmoro Douse they will pro
bably be pretty well used up for the rest of the
day.
Theywill leave Baltimore to-morrow at 10 A. M.,
in a special train, whioh will roach Philadelphia at
ten minutes after 8 P. M.
■ It was ascertained for the first time, to-day, that
the whole number of the Japanese' is seventy-six,
instead of 'sevonty-two, os has all along been sup
posed-
This evening there is to be a trial of the engines,
for the bonefit of the Japanese, and afterwards a
display of fire-works.
, 2 his afternoon the members of tho Embassy
dined with the Mayor, City Council, and invited
f nests, at the Gilmore House. Afterwards, the
apanese took a station ou the portico to witness
the operations of tho paid fire department and fire
alarm telegraph. An alarm bo? was placed on the
portioo, and after an explanation of the nature of
the operation, the alarm was communicated
throughout the oity. In a few minutes the entire
department with ttirir stoam fire-engines, hook and
ladder compar. 5 * ,\lhsr apparatus were on the
ground ready ihi action. Numerous streams of
water were thrown to such a great height as
greatly to astonish and interest the visitors, who
made many inquiries
Naruse Genoiro, tho Vioe Governor of tho Em
bassy, expressed officially the high gratification of
tho Ambassadors. Their reception thus far*seems
to have given tbe greatest satisfaction, all the ar
rangements having been oarrtod out in a manner
reflection mcob credit on the judgment and good
taste of those having it in oharge.
To night a grand'dlsplay tf fireworks took place
in frontrof the hotel, in the presence or an immense
throng of spectators.

This was negatived by two majority.
The resolution was then adopted—yoas 93, pays
90—the vote being nearly the same as on the adop
tion of the first resolution. ;
Mr. Blair was then sworn and took his sear.
Mr. Hickuan of Pennsylvania, called up -the
resolution heretofore reported by him from -the
Committee on' the Judiciary, declaring that tho
House dissents from the doctrines of the speelat
message of the President of the United States of
March 28,1800; that the extent of the power con
templated in tho adoption of the resolutions of In
quiry of Maroh sth is nooessary to the proper dis
charge of the constitutional duties devolved upon
Congress; that tho judicial determination?, the
opinions of former Presidents, and uniform usage
sanction its exercise, and that to abandon It would
leave the Executive Departments of the Govern
ment without supervision or responsibility, and
would be likely to lead to a concentration of power
in tho hands of the President dangerous to tho
rights of a froe people.
. Mr. Leake, of Virginia, presumed that tho re
port oamo from the Committee on the Judiciary.
Tho Speaker. It does. ;
Mr. Leake. Then it ought to oomo from gentle
men who &to acquainted with law.
Mr. Bingham, of Ohio, called tho gentlenmn to
order. ‘
Mr. Leake wanted to know in what respect tho
doctrines of the President aro dangerous to liberty.
Mr. Houbton, of Alabama, offered a eubstllute
from the minority of the committee, declaring that
it ie within the power of the House to institute an
inquiry In relation to any Alleged abases existing
in the administration ,of the Government, with the
view to remedial legislation; that the Hnuse isalsq
invested with power tomnko inquiry of official
conduct on the part of the President, confining itself
to that olaußo of the Constitution in relation to Im-’
peaohment, bnt the inquiry should be founded on a
substantial charge made by some person whose re
sponsibility should be vouched for; and an Investi
gation in the absence of suoh oharge would be a
want of resnect and comity due, and in violation of
the principles of common justice; that the indefi
niteness of a part of the resolutions under whloh
the Covode Gommittoe was appointed is liable to
bo perverted to partisan ends, and, therefore, the
prosecution of said inquiry is derogatory to tho !
dignity of this House.
Mr. Hickhan refused to entertain the substitute.
Mr Houston said it was understood that he
should have tho opportunity of offering it.
Mr. Bickkan was of a different opinion, and de
manded the previous question.
Mr. Taylor, ofLoufslana, said that if Mr. Hlok

Mr. Houston again asked to ezoueed from gor
vioo on the Judioiary Committee. He was asto
nished to hear denied his statement that it was the
understanding of the committee that he and Mr.
Taylor should offer a substitute for the resolution
just adopted. It was extraordinary that the cour
tesy baa been donied.
’ Mr. Taylor took a similar view, and wa9 also
compelled by self-respect to ask to he excused from
service as a member of the Judioiary Committee.
Mr. Hickhan said that this matter which had
lust been deoided had never exoited any feelings
m his breast, and, indeed, but very, lifctlo interest.
He had no malignity of feeling to gratify. Ho
aoted simply in tho performance of a plain
duty. This protest of the President was referred
to the committee of whioh ho was chairman, with
instructions from the House. It was the desire of
the gentleman at that timo to have an early ropoit
from tho committee. That report was pro
pared in great haste , for the purpose of
meeting and gratifying the disposition gene
rally manifested. But, notwithstanding the de
sire of the committee to submit their report
'to tho House, it was delayed for eight weeks at
the request of members of the House, for they had
no deaira to pass tho matter agaiußt tho pleasure
of the House. When the mAttor was first sub
mitted to the Judiciary Committee it wnflexpeoted
that thoir report would bo made in tho coarse of
two or three days, but timo was subsequently al
lowed to the minority to see tho report of tho ma
jority. There wa9 nothing farther demanded, and
when oalled upon here to state his recollection, he
wonld state it as ho understood tho matter at the
time. Ho did not mean to say that the conversa
tion spokon of bv tho gentlemen from Alabama
nndXouisianadld not take place, but ho had not
the slightest rccolleotion of it. He would appeal
to the other members of tho oommittee, who had
the same recollection • of tho matter as ho had.
With reference to tho" charge of discourtesy, ,ho
meat say that ho did not reoognizo a minority re
port at all Suoh action, on tho part of minorities,
was an invasion of the proper legitimate parlia
mentary praotloo. It had of late years grown up
in the American Congress, but by right it had no
existence. Now that tho report was hofore the
House, and aotior. taken on it, ho would say that
he did not car© one farthing whether the minority
accepted the report or not Throughout he had
been influenced by tho desire of forwarding the
business entrusted to him, which he had done to
the best of his ability, without having a single
feeling of bis own to gratify.
' Fending the question on excusing Messrs. Hous
ton and Taylor, the Houue adjourned.

unusually so this afternoon by tha reception of the Ja-"

E. G. Whitman & Co., Second street below

of the day—the arrival of the Japanese—and it is not
doubted that these higblj-cu’tivated Asiatics will relish
the budset of delioious confeoiionery ordered by the
committee of arrangements at this famous establish
