order for Wednesday. The law COW
crs three hundred and sixty pages.
A resolution was passed bringing
Chas. w. Wooley to the bar of House
for contempt. The managers sup
ported the resolution by report, the
reading of which required over an
hour, with copies of private tclc-
grams and evidence, mainly that of
Thurlow Weed, showing that the
scheme of ofbuying votes for acquittal
was canvasscd in New York, and
that suspicious kilograms and per-
sons passed between the parties here
and in New York.
Intimate relations were shown to
exist between the counsel and friends
Of the President, and the party who
canyasscd the purchase Of votes in
New York. Tho report claims that
the managers have other evidence,
but ut present only feel justified in
presenting such as will justify the
arrest of Wooley. Adjourned.
Answering questions regarding
the tax bill, and suggesting that
modified regulations and rates on
whisky and tobacco should be pre-
sentcd in seperatc bill, Schcnck
said the bill might pass in three
weeks, and sooner with night ses-
sions. He proposedfa a separate bill,
as the bill prepared by the commit
tee was complete as u whole and
met, on all but one or two points,
with the unanimous support of the
committee. There were only three
or four points which would provoke
discussion. Republican members
maintained that the committee bill
could not pass both Houses and be-
come law before September.
however, persisted, and
the bill was made special order for
Wednesday, to be continued from
day to day until finished.
The report of the managers leaves
the corruption investigation in n
misty state. They object they had
in view appears to have been to make
it probable that Wooley had used
twenty thousand dollars to corrupt
Senators. They show that q Gen.
Adamsapproached CollectorSmythe
Of New York with proposition to
buy votes for acquittal. Symthe
broke the matter to Thurlow Weed,
who advised Smythe that it was not
feasible. Adams Afterwards convers-
ed with Weed on the subject, but
Weed gave him no encouragement.
The matter was afterwards canvass
I'd in Weeds room at the Astor
House, with Weed, Woolcy, Hast
ngs, ofAlbany, Sheridan and Shook,
present. Wooley afterwards left for
Washington. Several obscure dis
patches passed between Wooley and |
Weed, which Weed did not under
stand beyond that they referred TO
impeachment. Shook and Hastings |
,ame to Washington. The above
$ based on Weeds evidence. 1t is
hen shown that Woolcy had ten
thousand at one time and five thous-
md at, another time placed to his
IN cypher dispatch addressed to
Shook at New York. He drew ten
thousand here in thousand dollar
bills. Shook denies having deposi-
cd this money to Wooley's credit
Nooley drew five thousand from
Cincinnati. Wooley refuses TO
wear about what nc did with his
money. Nothing has trans
bred connecting Senator's with the
money. Butler denounccs all the
,arties connected with the affair,
% far, as gold gamblers and whiskey
men. The amount mentioned by /
idams, us necessary TO secure the
our votes was thirty thousand dol
ars. The evident disposition of the
House is TO compel Wooley to ac-
cunt for his money. Among the
dispatches is one from WoOley de-
a meeting between Judge
jhasc aud certain Republican Sena-
ors, looking 10 new party organ
zation. Several dispatches regard
ng the gold market were produced,
Baker. a radical, ofIlIinois, denounc-
ng in bitter terms the whole pro-
ecdinss, and blamed the House for
it TO 90 on without al
owing the democratic party to be
in the investigation.
