WASHINGTON, March 20, 1872
The Sedan OF the Pacific Mail Lobbyists In
the HOuse-An Honest Man, Sc.
The subsidy OF sl,ooo,ooO proposed for the Pacinc
Man Steamship Company received Its quetus today
IN the House. The HERALD pre10ured this result
yesterday. This result Is the consequence OF three
days struggle OF honest and tlmd members against
the heaviest and most cunning lobby ever known
about the National Legislature 1t must be known
that there are many capitalists and railroad men
directors, attorneys &c.-n Congress, and many
more out OF Congress who have access there. All
these were arrayed against the Representatives of
the people.
The contest against this special subsidy was begun
by Mr.. Wood, OF New York, against Mr.. Brooks, his
colleague. 1t was the polite training Of the veteran
eX-MayOr OF New York which fOiled at the outset
the allacious rhetoric OF MIR. Brooks and Mr. Potter
When the republicans, under Governor Blair, Mr..
Stevenson, Mr.. Hay, OF Illinois, and Others rallied
their forces and were joined by the raylng cries OF
Kerr, Beck ana Cox from the democratic side, 1t
seemed that the conflict had lost Its partisan features
and That 1t was u nght OF money and selhshness
against integrity and true economy. Mr.. Dwight
Townsend and some ilve other democratic members
from New York State deserted their friends and, in
spite OF the appeals OF Cox Wood, Roberts and
Others voted for the subsidy AS the debate to-day
progressed 1t seemed as II Dawes Garfield and
Others, who became reticent as the debate went on
would throw their us inertia for the bill but the
gallant charge Of Blair, OF Michigan; Wnitthorne,
OF Tennessee, and Others overcame the howl for
the subsidy.
When the vote came to be taken Farnsworsn, who
was not expected to oppose the bin, failed some
where ana embarrassed the contest with amend
ments that seemed to hur but really strengthened,
the bill. The first voting looked as though Pacific
stOcK was going up. Many kilograms were sent
OF 10 the Exchange, as II In anticipation
OF the result Which did not take place.
ON the gnal vote. however. only twelve
democrats With Swami at their mead, crept down
TO the filters. while the rest OF the democracy. aided
by the gallant republicans under Blair L. Co., &C.
COmplished the result The deed was DONE as Mr.
Cox said when urging to-day full and longer
debate The death Of this bill kills whole brood.
TO Wood Cox, Blair, Stevenson, Hay and largo
number OF honest men almost unknown to the
public, is this result due. There will be no more
subsidies this session. The twenty other schemes,
involving $4,000 600, have lost their heart. 1t Is
matter OF regret that the vote in committee should
only show less tnan dozen against the measure,
for If the yeas and nays had been ordered posi-
Die there would have been a dozen more votes
against this device help few at the expense OF
the people.

took place to-day AT the White House. A delegation

learned to his surprise upon inquiry OF the Gov.
prnOr.
In due time West and Warmoth were summoned
TO the Executive presence. and Secretaries Boutwell,
aud BeIknap, with Postmaster General Creswell,
who were present on business, were requested to
remain during the interview which lasted nearly
three-quarters OF an hour. The Governor was
closely questioned by the President respecting tho
troubles In the state. and explained and defended
his action III connection with the late proceedings
at New Orleans, charging the responsibility mainly
upon the attempts OF the federal officers to inter.

republican strength for the Presidential campaign.
The meeting terminated without result, and took
no other ultimate shape than call OF respect from

While awaiting Warmoth's departure and their own
Turn, the discussion among the members OF the col
ored delegation and their attendant politicians was
OF the liveiest character. and the significance ana
Iropriey OF the meeting OF their National and State
Executives was argued from every point
At last as Warmoth came Into the ante.room the
delegation was called and went In, accompanied by
Senator Kellogg and ex.Speaker Carter, leaving
casey ana Packard outside. Casey at once entered
into conversation with Senator West, In one Of the
recesses OF the windows, while Warmotn and
Marshal Packard got into a warm contio-
versy by the fireplace, the latter telling
the Governor that his promises could not be relied
on; thnt ne mad no strength the state outside OF
the circle OF his own Official creatures and that he
could only extend his power by nnding offices for

The Governor retorted on Packard In terms as
choice until the latter was called into the Presi.
0enps room. At little after four the whole party
left the White House.
