WARRINGTON, Feb. 18.--Another step in the
Credit Mobi1ior drama was taken to-day, through
the submission OF Judge Poland's report to tho
Honao. Tho Capitol was thrQagsd at an early
hour, and by II o'clock not only every seat in
the House gallerioa WAS occupied, but all tho
doors leading thereto were filed by eager Beekera
after the sensational, Every member was in his
scat, aud the floor OF tho House WAS throngcd
with Senators, ex-Sonators, mombers Of the
Cabinet, and distinguished visitors from
all parts Of the country. Oakes Ames

silence WAS as impressive as whom tho report
was being read. Brooks voice was pitched
somewhat lover than usual, and sounded harsh
and unnatural, Seated Immediately to big right
was Dan Voorhees,, who appeared to not in the
capacity Of confidential adviser and next
friend. For fifteen minutes Brooks devoted
himBolf to mukng two pointa in hts defence,
which, ha said, the Committee had omitted.
Those wore: frat, that no referonce had been
made to the proceedings in tho Supreme Court
wheren a. full list OF tho stockholders Of tho
Company was given, In which his name did not
appear; and, second, that no referonoo was made

to tho second, made tho significant remark that,
at the timo Of tho Legislation alluded to, there
were two parties in the Union Pacific Railroad,
whose interests wero Numerically opposite. and
that vote on either side WAS no test Of my
thing, save Of preference for d faction.
Although thoro was a disposition for debate
from all quarters, Judge Poland finally succeed
cd in having the report report referred for print
ing, and having next Tuesday aot apart for Its
consideration.
During the reading of the report there was q
death-lko silence In the House. It would
scarcely bo correct to say that the dropping Of q
