The GAoat Island Job Before the eenate.
n - Understood the action Of the Military Com
mittee In reporting back the Goat Island bill to
the Senate, without recommendation, was taken
In consequence Of the nearly unanimous opinion OF
tho committee that they had not time properly
TO consider q subject Of such great import
anee to San Francisco, in view Of the earnest
opposition made against the bill on behalf OF that
city. They therefore, without taxing vote on Its
merits, reported IT, unaccompanied by recon-
mendation either for or against Its passage, but
leave the decision Of the matter to the Senate,
aided by the printing Of the arguments, &C., sub
mitted to them by opposing partie In interest
An EARLY Settlement or Phelps, Dodge u
Co.'s Case Probable.
Il 10 learned that the last oner OF $271 200 from
Phelps, Dodge Go. TO the Treasury Department
win be accepted upon certain conditions not yet
definitely ascertained. The matter is now ap-
preaching nnal result, 80 far as the Treasury De-
partment is concerned, and viii probably be con-
elusively settled tomorrow. 80
What che Poland COmmittee IL Expected
70 Report.
PoiAAd's committee win submit It's report to the
House tomorrow, az was correctly surmised in
There despatehcs. Brooks ana Amos win be doomed
70 expulsion. IL is significant circumstances that
she members OF the committee devoted Q great
deal OF time TO the study OF the case OF Natteson
Congressman from New York, who was expelled
for corruption in recommending the purchase Of
building by the government at an exorbitant price.
Il 10 believed that Sconeld, Dawes. Bingham and
Hooper win be exonerated of any corrupt
intent IN the purchase OF the stock, while
Garfield and Kelley will be recommended for
censure. This IL generally anticipated a. the
Judgment Of the committee, and % such has occa-
sioned much comment In the House. The question
now arises. how can Ames be expelled for bribery
when those who received the brides are either TO
be exonerated or 70 escape with merely censures
FOR Brooks transaction was not with Ames, but
with Durant: hence he Goes not belong 10 ne cate
gory o. Ames' victims.
The Wilson Investigating Committee.
The Wilson special committee have received .
certificate from the physician Of John Cisco, say
ing he IL not In proper physical condition 70 ap
pear - Witness The committee will give Gen.
eral DIX an opportunity to be heard should he de-
sire TO make Abatement There is no probability
Of General Dodge being produced as witness, his
Whereabouts being unknown.
Pomcroy's Case Before . Committee Il
Another investigating committee opened it,
shop to-day and commenced overhauling Subsidy
Pom. The old chap was present with brace OF
retained lawyers; but the committee declared that
he could have but one, so Cushing remained quiet,
while Horton, Of Kansas, conducted the examine
ton. On the other side was q Kansas lawyer
named Simpson. York, who was nrst examined,
u cool, foxy chap. Horizons cross-examination
Of him showed that old Pom. does not mean to be
caught mapping. ..,.+s.s., ,.. s.
How the Caldwell Report II Received. \
The Senate Committee on Privileges and Elec-
tons presented report to-day declaring that
Caldwell was not legally elected to o seat. II Is
evident however, that this lie to be opposed by the
railroad interest and by the carpetbaggers; 30 1t
may be switched on on q siding and Carpenter
may present in its stead resolution Of indirect
censure, which win be passed. The evidence In
the Caldwell case Is such as TO create grave doubts
whether Kansas possesses the necessary quali0ca-
not be reduced to territory again.
Tho Alabama Political MIDDLE.
Hon. Francis w. Sykes, Of Alabama, will this
week present his credentials to the Senate as
Senator from that State for the term commencing
on the 4th OF March, accompanied by q memorial
setting forth the grounds Of his claim. He Is at
tended BY his counsel, E. A. ONeal and
General John T. Morgan. Mr.. Sykes was elected by
what s Known % the Capitol Legislature. The
points to be presented involve the Legality Of both
the bodies claiming to be the Legislature OF the
state.
