TOPEKA, Feb 24.-The bribery investigation
committee reported to the house to-day report
signed by every member Of the committee re-
garding the senatorial election in 1857 They
find that much money was used by Pomeroy,
Carney and Perry Fuller but had not time to
make thorough investigation regarding the
election last winter. The committee report a
mass OF evidence showing bribery and corrup-
ton on the part of both Senator Caldwell and
eX-Congressman Clarke. Proof is positive that
Caldwell stated that his election cost him over
100000, and that he paid over ten per cent to ex
Governor Avery; that he several times offered
TO refund to Clarke all his expenses il he
(Clarke) would withdraw from the contest
The report also says that Alexander Caldwell
used bribery and other corrupt means, practiced
by himself and his friends, with his full knowl-
c lge and consent, TO secure his election to the
U. 5. senate. There was also an organized
effort made from the commencement to keep
important witnesses out of the way, ana it has
been impossible to procure their evidence. Fifty
thousand copies of the report and the evidence
was ordered to be printed, and copy sent to
each Kansas senator and to the vIce.president,
TO be laid before the United States senate for lis
confirmation.
ST.. LOUIS, Feb. 24.-The Topeka Democrats
special, referring to the report Of the bribery in
veslgatlon by the committee made to the house
to-day, says that some curious facts came to
light 1t seems that Senator Pomcroy and Sid
ney Clarke gave NJ. w. Reynolds editor of the
i.aWicnce journal, their note Tor $4,000 in
March, 1866, in consideration that that Journal
should support PUmeroy for reelection to the
senate and Clarke 10 congress. Reynolds went
back on them, and they refused to pay the note.
Suit was brought and Pomeroy and Clarke put
IN as defence, that the note was Given for an
improper purpose, and Judgment was given in
their favor. ReS nolds had the papers all made
out to carry the case before the supreme
court at the next term, but before the
meeting OF the court Reynolds received the ap-
pointmeut of receiver at the land office, and the
appeal was Immediately dismissed lie is now
editor of weekly paper. which supports Pome-
roy's reelection for the third term. 1t also came
out that the president Of the Kansas Pacific rail-
road promised Caldwell $4,000 to help elect
him to the senate, and that after election re-
fused TO pay any more than he had already paid,
which was $4,000. John Andrew, agent OF the
Kansas Pacific road at this place, aud through
whom the $4,000 were paid and who paid out
large sums besides, as testimony shows, had not
been before the committee He, with Ebcn
Smith, business partner of Caldwell, and John
Fletcher and another person, who it was proved
paid out money Ito use the words OF the report),
were fngitives from the state.
The report will cause great commotion in the
state and will show that money has been spent
like water for years

MATAMoRAs, Feb. 20, via New Orleans, Feb
24.-Ihe city of San Louis POtosi has been the
objective point with the revOlutionistS for some
time past. All their available forces are con-
cenratcd there, leaving only sufficient num-
Der in the cities north of Sierra Madra to garri-
son them. Troops are besieging San Louis
PotoSi, which is defended by Gen. Rocha, the
best officer adhering to the government, who
thus far is unable to free himself from the be-
SiegerS. Rumors of his surrender prevail, but
nothing reliable is known. IL is probable
should Rocha capitulate, northern Mexico will
be lost to Juarez.
MATAMoRAs, Feb. 23.-Gomez Portugal, revo-
lutionary governor of Aquas Calicntas, occu-
pied the city of that name on the 18TH Tele-
grams from before San Luis Potusi say that
lrevna'S army is increasing rapidly. Chhua-
hua is sending troops to the revolutionists A
small force of government troops were pro-
nounced i'll Guanaiuato on the 18TH.
BROWNSVILLE, Texas, Feb. 23.-Cattle steal
ing on the Rio Grande has been vigorously re-
commenced. Great Indignation prevails among
the stock raisers. The collector of customs at
Matamoras, who is also special civil repre-
sentative of the Juarst government announces
the intention Of sinking an American river
steamer Cif it clears here for Camargo), which
is now IN possession of the revoutionists
An international difficulty is likely on
this question. The commander at Matamoras
would oppose this, but General Cortina, who is
irresponsible, and who hates Americans, would
readily assent to any suggestion of the collector
