The Georgia Rrtherv Cnse.

The Georgia Bribery Case.
Governor Bullock, of Georgia, has not
turned up yet to testify before the Senate
committee to investigate the charges Of
bribery to defeat the Bingham amendment.
The testimony thus fur does not directly
prove that money was paid to amy senator,
but it does show that the proposition was
made by person on behalf Of the Bullock
party to purchase the vote Of Senator Car
penter. The proof already produced and
yet to be adduced, show that paragraphs
were prepared and published here in the
Chronicle which purported to come from
Georgia, but which were manufactured
here to effect public opinion and mislead
congressman as to the state of affairs in
Georgia. .s.--l 5.4
A telegram was published here few days
ago from Georgia in the nature Of threat
from Bullock that he would prosecute the
publishers for libel. OH account of para
graphs that have appeared in prints show
ing up the acts and purposes Of Bullock,
Blodgett & Co. No one fears any such pro-
secution. The half Of the enormity of their
conduct has not yet been given to the pub
lie, but the Investigation now progressing
will bring much of it to light. 5s.
The Pacific Railroad.
The Senate Pacific Railroad Committee
-four out of the seven present) has decided
to report bill for Southern Pacific rail-
road, having it's initial point at Cairo, ILL.,,
and running thence to the Pacific by the
way of Memphis, sc. Three Of those pre-
sent opposed this road, and five members
were absent. This action is intended as a
defeat of the Fremont or Trans-C Continental
road. It is believed the latter will pass the
House next week, which may give it such
prestige in the Senate as to cause its pas
sage by that body. :. . .e..e,
