WENTWOHTH's INVESTIGATE
CLEAR BACK DOWN.

Correspondence Of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
WASHINGTON, February &c, lS67.-The
Wentworth Smelling Committee, after five
days laborand travail, brought forth to-day a
ridiculous report, which is also remarkable
for It's failure 10 give a correct statement of
the facts in proof before the committee. Ii
is not true as set forth in the committee
report that "about the time the Southern
Governors were here, two persons, meaning
Messrs. Warden and Este, not members oil
Congress, were upon the floor, etc. This
part of the report is about as near the truth
as Mr.. Wentworth has approached it
throughout his statement.
The fact is that the " Southern Govern
ors had dispersed and gone to their sew
eral homes ten days or two weeks before
any action was taken or suggested by two
persons" or members of Congress, who
considered the proposition of bringing
about an agreement between the President
and Congress; and the proof / know,
shows in most unqualified terms that the
Southern Governors" had nothing what
ever to do with heproposition in question,
that they knew absolutely nothing at all
about il, and that Mr. Warden, one of the
two persons who brought about the
conference between the President and
members of Congress, was not personally
acquainted with any Of the Southern
Governors who recently got mp plan oi
reconstruction.

testimony taken hy the committee, and
make one much stronger case in favor OF
1 parties engaged in efforts 10 bring about a
| settlement of the reconstruction question,
! than Mr.. Wentworth has condescended e

| eXonerated them from blame In truth il
| would seem as to save himself from cen
sure and ridicule, Mr. Wentworth had
struggled 10 avoid real facts proven before

/ proofs are found in the testimony Of w

are sufficiently SET forth in my previous dis
patches. .....
The sole object Of two persons" in
bringing about a consultation between the

induce a better feeling and understanding
between the Legislative and Executive
| branches of the government and to &c
them % agree 90 adopt and cooperate upol
plan of reconstruction, which should b

stitutioual amendment of Congress and ne

THE PACIFIC RAILROAD.

Ten thousand Iaborers are kept employed
in constructing the Pacific railroad in Cali
fornia, eight thousand of whom are Chinese,
who work for thirty dollars per month and
board themselves. These Chinese are said
to be more tractable than white laborers,
quite as productive, and fifty per cent
cheaper One thousand two hundred horses
and mules, and as many carts are used, and
three hundred and fifty kegs of blasting
powder, costing four dollars per keg, are
daily consumed For fifteen miles this
side Of the summit of the Sisrras the road
has to be run through solid granite; drill
ling and blasting therefore are constantly
kept up, and all along the route there are
three gangs of laborers, each of which
works eight hours, the night and day
through, on the seven days of the week.
The road will be completed to Virginia
CITY. Nevada, one hundred and fifty-siG
miles from Sacramento, in the latter part
Of 1867 to Austin, three hundred and
twenty miles by the fall of 1868; TO Salt
Lake City, five hundred and eIghty-five
miles from Sacramento, in January, 1870 ;
and If not there met by the Union Pacific
railroad. the company will keep on push
ing eastward until they are stopped by the
Union in its westward progress. The road
with its equipments thus far cost about
S9. .O0O. 600. and until it is entirely finished
to the State line, one hundred and ftty-six
miles from Sacramento, it will cost about
s.. .O0O, 600 more.

RADICAL MORTALITY.

Governor Stone, Of lows, is in a pretty
fix. Last wear a committee of the Iowa
Legislature was appointed to investigate a
deficiency of S36, 600 in the Governors az
counts, and took the testimony of Governor
Stone Recently the same matter was
brought before 3 referee, and the Governor
again called as witness, when he swore to
the contrary Of what he had previously
testified before the committee. Being asked
by counsel the reason Of this discrepancy,
Governor Stone replied that he regarded
the investigation hy the General Assembly
merely as "a political ipueshqutoR, AVID he pre-
sent as a local iHucs'iydhon, and hence he dit
ference IN 0qdsuoc.' Il this be a fair sample
Of loyal morality, il is suggested that
all Radicals, certainly all such Radicals
he put under oath Ii might pat an end
10 the 6ctitioustales Of outrages at the South
upon the freedmen and loyal white oiti.
