HOW SIMON CAMERON sNooTHED DOWN THAD.
STEVENS AND OTHERS AND HEALED OLD
soREs-yIRTUE OF HORSE CONTRACTS.
Why, sir, who does not know that, what all
the papers stated, that political legds we're
healed by horse contracts, and that the healing
Of them was celebrated By q great fstlst ?
have once alluded to it myself. am able now
to state more particularly the details OF the af-
fair. 1t took four horse contracts each for one
thousand horses, to settle these old political
teuds, and every one Of those contracts cost
the Government SI0O,000-S400000 600 il four
horse contracts; and let me tell you, Mr.
Speaker, that some Of them were in mems
names who did not know Of it until the con-
tracts were made. It does not need TO be told
10 gentlemen who know so much about the
way things are done as we do here in the
House, why it is and for whose benefit il Is
that large contracts are made 10 mems names
without their knowing anything about it.
Ny distinguished friend from Pennsylvania
Mr.. Stevens who in the discharge of what
appeared TO be high duty, protested against
such man as Simon Cameron going into the
Cabinet, the papers say, graced that feast with
his presence. and that these persons were, over
that entertainment, celebrating the restoration
Of harmony among old political antagonists,
and some of them certainly knew the considera-
ton. It seems TO me that the 100000 sho'd
be saved to the treasury, somehow other
1t Is poor expenditure Of the public money
Just at this time, when il is used for no other
purpose than to heal political feuds. These
gentlemen enjoyed themselves, the papers told
Us.
HOW TIE HORSE CONTRACT TRIcKERY CANE TO
BE EXPOSED.
Mr.. Stevens. gentlemen will allow me
TO ask him question, as | do not very well
understand his allusion. | suppose he is re-
ferring to something not yet published or is
it anything that has been published
NJ. Dawes stated that it was published
10 all the papers.
Mr. Steyeus-In his remarks about the
horse contracts, does the gentleman refer to
anything contained in the report of the COM
mittee?
Mr.. Dawes-NO, sir not to anything pub
lished in the report am speaking now of what
is known to everybody. 1t does not take even
the poor Van Wyck committee to find it OUT
Laughter The parties fell out over one of
these arrangements and told of it, and have
only to say that at that particular time there
was according to the newspapers, great har
m0ny among these men.
The papers described it as being delightful

of these parties, and pat the interrogatories,

We last week published an abstract OF
gard to the arrest of the two famous rebels,
Mason and Slidell, on board a British ves>

then they have been released. and are

doubt with regard to the illegality Of the
arrest of Mason and Slidell. from the no

help thinking that their surrender TO the

Britain, would have been less hUmiliatipg tC

been applauded for what was styled hi'
bold and patriotic conduct, in the Cabinet
by the Secretary of the Navy, by Congress
and it is said, by the President himself, er,
he learned from the head of the Department
of State, hat he had done wrong and viola
ted the Laws of Nations. There was some
thing certainly humiliating in the surrende
of the two rebel envoys, after the people @
the Northern States had almost unanimous
