Witness:"l,am, sir; (presenting a paper
from his pocket,) thisis my answer."
After considerable debate 'as to questions.
of order, Mr. SHELLA.BARGER offered , a
resolution requiring Mr. Wooley to state
whether he '.was now willing to go before
the Committee: of Managers of the House
and make answer to We questions for re
.fusal to answer which he had , been ordered
into custody, had if so, he shall have such
priyilege as soon as the Committee can be

main in custody, and in case witness de-'.
clinedx,.he shall be recommitted for contin,
:mum of 'contempt, and' tio • remain; until

the resolution would detain the witness in

and make answer to questions for the refu
-43a1 to answer which you are now in custody?
Mr. Woolley, the witness . —Aa lily client
has testified in reference to those questions,
end as Itake it to be the order of the'llouse
that I shall answer them, I will d 0136.
The SPEAKER—The order of the House
then will be executed, that the witness ap
pear beforellui Committee as Wirt as it will
be convened, and that in the meantime the
witnessAllall remain in.the custody of the
Sergeant-it-Arms:
The proceedings:in regard toMr. Woolley
having thus terminated, the House again
went into Cominittee on; the Tax . Bill, and
immediately thereafter took a recess till
7:30.
.
XvlLfi - liio.Bltsslatt.—The fifty:third sec
tion, in reference .to appeals from assess
ment and taxation, being before the Com
mittee, several amendments of detail wore
offered and discussed. •.
In the discussion of an amendment offer
ed by Mr. JENUKES -to %the fifty-seventh
section, proposing to give to the District
Attorneykthe power to discontinue sults in
qui tam actions or enter a voile proecqui in
criminal cases, Mr. SCHENCK argued
against the striandreent, and stated that the
"whisk t eY ring" had Its - aiders and abettors
Its often in the District Attorneys
as in all other officers of the law.:
He , had- -in his mind •one proof
ihrnished to : the keotnntittee of Ways and
Means—the case of a judge in one, of the
federal courts, ,and of a district attorney,
who had divided "black mail" between
thern, 'which was the consideration for their
letting off some sixty culprits arraigned
before the court. He trusted that it would
result vet in an impeachment of that judge.
The Committee ought not to throw, ovary,
thing into the power of district attorneys.
He should hold a veto over all these cases.
He was perfectly willing that in a proper
case a district attorney should have his
remedy against any passibility of fthe de.
feat of the ends -of justice, by continuing
his case If witnesses are spirited out of the
way
.g,.114024111.1t, Minot kpuble
be frequently with gran juries, or ofileerei,
by whom they were selected. He knew
=that was the case in the Eastern District of
Pennsylvania, and ho presumed it was so
`everywhere.
The amendment was modified by strik
ing out the power tUenter a uolle proswei
and agreed to.
Mr. PRICE offered an amendment to the
fifty-seventh section, providing that in
cases of compromises no less sum than
twice the amount of the tax shall be re,
ceived. Agreed to.
Amendments as 'to matters of 'detail,
- prinelptdly legal technlealltieS, 'Were offer
ed to that and subsequent sections, and
discussed under the five minute rule. Some
were agreed to and some rejected.
-After disousalon of, the tall as, far as the
seventy-fifth section, the, Crommittee rose
and the House adjourned until 11 o'clock
to-morrow.
