Senators Morton, Rice, Logan, Anthony
and Carpenter, Of the Committee on
Privileges and Elections, say in their re.
port they the are clearly Of the opinion
that the charge Of bribery and corruption
against Senator Pomeroy, connected with
bis election by the Kansas Legislature in
1857, fails to be sustained by any compe.
tent proof, but seems to have been urged
Tor some purpose unknown to the com.
mittee beyond that Of correcting the ex.
isting evil. Senators Thurman and Hill
concur with their colleagues of the com.
mittee in finding that there was not evi.
dence before them sufficient to show that
Pomeroy's election was procured by cor.
rupt means, but they do not think II
proper to impugn the motives Of the Gen.
eral Assembly Of Kansas. who urged tho

General OF Michigan, to-day closed up the
war claim in favor Of that State, and re-
ceived from the Treasury a draft for nearly
$4,000, with the exception Of a small
amount. This liquidates the Michigan
war claim against the United States. =,
