of his reelection, and it was so awarded. by this
Presidential job, 450 mechanics were kept EN-.
ployed in Florepce's District for electioneering
purposes. 1t is also in evidence before the same
Committee that J. CLANCY Jones, when member
of Congress was agent for procuring contracts with

receiving ten per cent for his services. 1t is said
that this report will make some startling
disclosures concerning the manner in which
George n. Sanders, Nary Agent Of New

partner of which firm is Sanders security, makes
all the purchases above market prices, ADD Sanders
never sees the articles or knows anything about
their price; yet at a meeting Of the Committee
yesterday, Mr.. Ready could not agree with Hessrs.
Sherman and Richie in administering reProof to
the President and censurin9 the Secretary of War,
and voted with Messrs. Bocock and Groesbeck
against Mr. Sheruans conclusions, but not against
his statemtn ut Of facts. 1t is doubted whether Mr.
Ready will sign report being drawn up BY Messrs.
Bocock and GYoesbeck, or will make 9 separate
one If be adopts the latter course, there will be
three reports, neither signed BY a msjority. Mr.
Ready, though q South American, yet having an
election pending in Tennessee, may make bid for
Administration support, and agree to BOcock And
Groesbeck's report. The final meeting Of the
Committee will be held tomorrow morning, and
the reports will be submitted to the House some
time during the day. II will absorb all other
business, and crowd on. much ths! would other

report will create excite nent than any other
that has ever been submitted 70 Congress. 1t eI-

with great clesTness.
