WASHINGTON, May 10, 1870.
Governor BuIIock's Testimony.
In his testimony yesterday before the Sc.
nate Judiciary Committee, Governor Bull
lock made certain statements in regard to
Senator Pomeroy, in which he stated that
Pomeroy, according to the word of gen.
tleman who had gwen him the information,
would have been willing to 60 either one
way or the other on the Georgia bill, as it
might affect railroad ring in which he was
interested. The committee to-day called
Pomeroy before them, who stated
that he had never met the man
to whom Bullock alluded to but once, and
then in the most casual manner. He also
denied all interest in any railroading, and
said he never but once owned Pacific rail-
road stock, and he had long since sold it.
He also stated that Bullock had informed
him at one time that he (Bullock) preferred
Pomeroy's amendment to the Georgia bill
THAT which pasSed) to Bingham's. In regard
to the testimony of Bullock with reference
to the money he had expended here,
it was shown that he had drawn
during his few months residence
$4,000; of this, $4,000 had been paid to
the Chronicle newspaper, $500 to the Globe
establishment, and the balance he stated
had been spent for his personal expenses,
and he refused to account for it. 1t was
shown that for the $500 which he paid the
Globe that establishment had done more
work than the Chronicle had for $4,000. A
single instance may be given He paid the
Chronicle 5000 for pamphlet of LOCO
editions. 1t was shown by practical
printers that the ordinary price paid for
such work in Washington was S120. Many
other like cases appeared in the testimony.
The committee have closed the case, and it
is not unlikely that Senator Trumbull will
submit the testimony and his report to.
morrow. 1t is believed that Senators Stew
art and Rice will not concur in the report,
but that all the other members will.
Union Pacific Railroad.
The President has submitted to the At
torney-General the matter of the attempted
seizure of the Union Pacific railroad by one
OF the United States judges i'll Wyoming
Territory, and directing him to ascertain
what action is necessary to prevent the
local authorities Of that Territory from in
terfering with the railroad in question,
thereby hazarding the interests Of the Co.
yelnment. Several senators and represen-
tatives have requested the President to sts-
pend the judge before whom this matter is
pending, but General Grant deems it adj
visable to obtain the views of the Attorney
General before taking action relative to it.
Indebtedness of Southern Railroads.
Hon. Aaron L. Perry, of Cincinnati.
made an argument before the House Judi
ciary Committee to-day in behalf Of the
Government for the payment of large
amount of indebtedness to southern rail-
roads. 1t is stated that at the close of the
war some fifty railroads obtained from
the Government rolling stock and other fix
lures to the amount of SIS 900, 900, and gave
their notes for the same, payable in one,
two, and three years. A portion of the
roads have complied with their agreements,
and some others are paying as fast as posi-
bic. The Nashville and Chattanooga, the
East Tennessee and Georgia, and East Ten
nessee and Virginia roads, have declined to
pay-the former owing about $l,7O0, 600
The defendants claim that the Government
seized and used their roads, rolling stock,
ETC., for which they have received no COM
pensation.
