The tax bill was made the special order

hundred and sixty pages.
A resolution was passed bringing Charles
W. Wooley to the bar OF the House for CON
tempt.
The impeachment managers support the
resolution by report, the reading OF which
required over an hour, with copies of
private kilograms and evidence, mainly
that Of Thurlow Weed, showing that the
scheme for buying votes for acquital was
canyassed in New York, and that suspicious
kilograms and persons passed between the
parties here and in New York. intimate
relations were shown to exist between the
counsel and the friends of the president
and the party who canvassed the purchase
of votes in New York. The report claims
that the managers have other evidence but
at present only feel justified in presenting
such as will justify the arrest Of Wooley.
Adjourned,
Answering questions yeg9 riding the tax
bill and suggestions that the modified regu-
lations and rates on whisky aud tobacco
| should be presented in separate bills, Mr..
| Schenck said the bin might pass in three
weeks and sooner with night sessions. He
| opposed separate bills, as the bill proposed
| by the committee was complete as a whole,
and met on all but one or two points with
the unanimous support of the committees
There were only three or four points which
would provoke discussion.
The Republican members maintained that
the committees bill could not pass both
houses and become law before September
Mr.. Schenck, however, persisted, and the
bill was made the special order for Wednes-
day, to be continued from day to day until
finished.
The report of the managers leaves the
corruption investigation in a misty state.
The object they had in view appears to
have been to make it probable that Mr..
| WoOley had used $40, 060 to corrupt Sena-
| tors. They show that General Adams ap-
| preached Collector Smythe, of New York,
with q proposition to buy votes for acquit-
| tai. Mr. Smythe broke the matter to Thur
| low Weed who advised Mr.. Smythe that it
was not feasible. General Adams afterward
| Canvassed with Mr.. Weed on the subject,
| but Mr. Weed gave him no encouragement
The matter was afterWard Canvassed in
Mr.. Weeds room at the Astor House, with
| Messrs. Weed, Wooley, Hastings of Albany,
| General Sheridan and Mr. Shook present.
| Mr.. Wooley afterward left for Washington
| Several obscure dispatches passed between
Messrs. Wooley and Weed, which Mr.. Weed
| did not understand beyond that they refer
| red to impeachment. Messrs. Shook and
| Hastings came to Washington.
The above is based on Mr. Weeds evil
| dence. It is then shown that Mr.. Wooley
had ten thousand dollars at one time and
| five thousand at another time placed to his
credit on cypher dispatch addressed to
Mr. Shook at New York. He drew ten thou
sand here in thousand dollar bills.
Mr.. Shook denies having deposited the
money to Mr.. Wooley's credit.
! Mr.. Wooley drew S5000 from Cincinnati
| He refuses to swear what was done with the
money.
Nothing has yet transpired connecting
| Senators with this money.
General Butler denounces all the parties
| connected with the affair so far as gold
| gamblers and whisky men.
The amount mentioned by Mr.. Adams as
necessary to secure the four votes was
$50, 900.
The evident disposition of the House is to
compel Mr. Wooley to accountto his money.
Among the dispatches was one from MI.
