 RAMSEY INVESTIGATION.
 MT. SEBASTIAN. I ask leave to withdraw from the papers accompanying the report made by the committee on the Indian affairs, in re. ference to the investigation into the official con. duct of Governor Ramsey, of Minnesota, cer- tain papers which hold in my hand, for the purpose of having them referred to the account ing officers of the treasury, to enable one of the commission ers to settle his accounts. The na. pers which desire to have withdrawn, I hold in my hand, and l will send them to the secre- tary's desk.
 MT. Stuart l should like to see what the papers are, or to hear some statement of them.
 MT. SEBASTIAN. They are certain vouch- CTS tor expenditures of money made by Judge Young, one of the commissioners in that nves- tgatlon. It is necessary that they should go through the hands of the accounting officers of the treasury department, for the purpose of having the accounts fnally settled. That is the explanation which is given to me of the case, and l have no doubt it is true.
 MT. Stuart. I should like to hear some pretty full statement of this matter. As un- derstand it, the Senate, by resolution, has paid Judge Young out the contingent fund. Now, l do not know what the accounting officers of the treasury department have to do with that. do not wish to object to anything that ought to be done, but think there is a great deal in reference to the Ramsay transaction which ought to come to light in some shape or other. Un- less there Is some exposition more than the &c., nator has now given us, shall be compelled to object to his motion. should like to have him look into the papers, and see whether they meet his sanction.
 MT. SEBASTIAN. I have not examined the papers myself, but am told that they are vouchers of Judge Young's, which, having been connected with that transaction, have to go to the treasury department, in order that the de- partment may settle claims arising under the investigation. We paid Judge Young simply one item-his per dime. But an appropriation has been inserted in the Indian appropriation bill, by the Senate, for the purpose of defray- Ing the expenses of theinvestigation, and take 1t for granted that the papers which are to be withdrawn are with reference to that matter The papers are now on the table, and without making any motion in regard to them, I will allow them to lie there for the present in. formally, that the Senator from Michigan may look into them. l have no idea that there is anything wrong in the matter. The papers are there for the Senator's inspection.

 PRINTING OF MAP.
 Mr. JOHNSON. l am instructed by the committee on printing, to whom was referred some days since on the motion of the Senator from California, Mir. Gwin, "a diagram of the United States of America, Mexico West India Islands, and the Isthmus of Dairen, showing Mr. Gwin's route of the Pacific railroad and its branches, inconnection with the various systems existing and unfinished; of railroads from the Mississippi valley to the Atlantic and the Gul1 coasts, by w. T. Steiger, of the general land otfice,' to submit motion for its printing Ii is map which has been made out in the gene. ral land office, and, as 1 am informed officially at least by the Senator from California, some three months labor have been expended upon it. It shows the whole country between the two oceans, the Atlantic and the Pacific; and it presents much better view of 1t than any mar which we now have The committee on print. ing authorize me to move that two thousand copies of 1t be printed.
 The motion was agreed to.
