@oe.s NRw YORK, January 23y
The Herald's Washington dispatch says:
The Wells, Fargo & Co. investigation com
mftfee had number of witnesses before
them yesterday. Among the most impor-
rant examined was j.. G.. Easement, of the
Union Pacific railroad. He testified that
the accumulation-of of mail matter along the
route took place when the old contract with
Wells, Fargo & Co. had expired. and bef
the new one was made. Mr.. Spaids, the
son of the man who was the lowest bidder
for the contract, testified that himself and
father offered to carry the mails for $780,
600 less than Wells, Fargo s. Co., but they
could not get any satisfactory answer to
their letter. Mr.. Tilton, banker, of New
York, who seems to have been the hacker
OF Mr.. Spaids, corroborates his statement.
Meaard.
The same dispatch says it seems to be
generally understood that Menard, the col
ored Congressman from Louisiana, will not
get his seat in the House.

The Pressure I'm lhe Money Mar
fsf-.a ket


On Thursday, in the Senate, Mr.. LINN
offered for adoption the following, which
was laid on the table to be printed:
Resolved By the General Assembly of the
State of Ohio, That our Senators In Con.
9ress be requested to urge the immediate
massage of = law authorizing the issue OF
United States legal tender Treasury notes
II such an amount as shall restore the cur
rency OF the country to what IL was prior
IN the cancellation and Withdrawal of any
such notes from circulation by The Secre-
tarv of the Treasury, and thereby redeem
inc. TO the extent of such issue, the bonds
Of the Federal Government.
This resolve is one in which men OF all
parties have a deep interest. That partic-
ularly in the west, there Is scarcity o
currency, every business man knows and
feels. ~ad a'isa1 lE's = }t&a 80
There is now q large amount of public
debt past due, but unpaid, the Govern
ment having the option to pay it now, or
some years hence. 1t is due in legal tender
notes, and its payment at this time, would
not only relieve the pressure, but lessen the
taxes, By doing away with the necessity Of
having usurious interest in the debt.
We trust that the resolve OF Mr.. LINN
will not only be adopted by the Legisla-
ture of Ohio, but that Congress win do q
sensible thing, by adopting the plan pro-
posed. -

A resolution was adopted asking infor-

many buildings in Washington are rented
by them.
Mr.. KELSEY offered resolution calling
on the Secretary of State for information as
to the property of VIM. 7. Harris, an
American citizen, who died at Bohia,
Brazil. in 1852. and whose property was
seized by officers of the. Brazilian Govern
ment at that time. Adopted.
On motion OF Mr.. SPALDING, the Sem
ate amendment to the resolution providing
for the disposition of certain papers re-
lating TO military claims occurring in the
Department of the West, was taken from
the Speakers table and non-concurred in.
MIR. BOUTWELL, called up the Consti-
tutiOnal amendment and bill in regard to
suffrage and opened the debate upon it,
Mr.. Buutwell's argumt MT. W hich lasted two
hours, was occasionally interrupted by
questions from members on the other side
of the House.
Mr.. BROOKS said, In order to carry out
the principles advocated by the gentleman
from Massachusetts,, he proposed to offer
an amendment to the bill by striking out
the word " citizen," wherever 1t occurs,
and substituting for it the word "person,"
and otherwise altering it SO il will read !:

of any person 10 the United States to vote
