THE CONGRESS SCANDAL.

PROBABLE ESCAPE OF SENATOR PATTERSON
THE SENATE WILL ACT SLOWLY IN THE NATTER
OF HIS EXPULSION AND POSSIBLY NOT AT ALL.
ffBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBusg
WASHINGTON, Feb 2s.-The Senate will approach
the consideration Of the resolution for the expulsion
of Senator Patterson with great hesitation. The
Committee has as yet given no notice Of an inten-
ton TO call il up, and as Mr. Patterson himself has
been absent from his seat all day his intention in tho
matter is not known. feeling of sadness and
great sympathy for Mr., Patterson pervsdes tho
whole Senate II the resolution is ever called up
the speeches on it will be solemn funeral ora
tioDs and though it will be ably opposed by Senator'S
who either believe the verdict Of the Committee too
harsh OF doubt the wisdom of Furnishing Senators
for criminal acts by expulsion, there is little doubt
that it will pass Great doubt exists however, that
any action will be taken in the case since the Senate
must work night and day in order TO complete tho
Appropriation bills, and this viii be taken sufl
cient excuse for emitting TO perform an extremely
unpleasant duty.

VERSAILLES, Friday Feb %, 1879
The Assembly to-day resumed the debate on the
report of the Committee of Thirty.
NJ. Gambetta made powerful speech against the
bill recommended by the Committee. He denied
the right ofthe Assembly TO assume constituent
powers and demanded its dissolution. He concluded
az follows: I'VE have always supported the present
Executive but his support now requires sacrifice
of principle, and when yon ask us to make such a
sacrifice we say no % N. Gambetta was repeatedly
cheered by the Left.
The Duke de Broge replied at great length. He
thought the direct solution Of the question was a
monarchy. The Republic only led to discord But
the Assembly should conine itself to the great ma
tional interest which needed all its attention. He
appealed to the conservative majority to stand firm
and united for the countrys good, but at the same
time keep alive the spirit Of concilaton.
Prolonged cheering from the Center followed NJ.

IMPEACHMENT OF DELAHAY AND SHERMAN.

THE FORMER is ORDERED, AND THE LATTER
DOUBTLESS WILL BE.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBuNBI
WASHINGTON Feb 28.-A resolution lmpeachlng
Judge Delahay of Kansas was reported to the House
nv Mr. Butler to-day, and passed without opposition
after the reading of few extracts from the testl-
noony taken by the Judiciary Committee, showing
Delahays habitual drunkenness and unseemly con-
duet on the bench The resolution notified to the
Senate that the House will due time prefer charges
and appoint managers to conduct the case 1t rs
understood that the Judiciary Committee have de-
layed that report for time to give the Judge an
opportunity take the advice of his friends and re-
sign. He lacks the decency to do this, 1t appears
and there is way to get rid of him except by I'M
peaehmept Only two cases of the impeachment of
a Federal Judge have occurred since the foundation
ef the Government. Delahay's will be the third,
and Sherman's will unquestionably soon make
fourth unless he has the good to resign. 1t Is
not expected that the Senate will take action on
Delahay's case before next Winter unless there
should be an extra session.
The Judiciary Committee of the House have had
several discussions ON the evidence taken by the
Ways and Means Committee against Judge Charles
r. Sherman of the United States Court, Northern
District of Ohio and viii report TO the House be-
fore the adjournment that the papers on their face
seem TO demand the impeachment of this official, for
attempting to extOrt money for alleged influence in
shaping legislation. IN regard to the report
of the Internal Revenue tax on borrowed capital.
The Committee, however, will state that the case
deserves careful hearing and that there is not suf
6cient time left of this session to permit the full
inquiry demanded, and it will be certified over to

GENERAL DIsBELIEF IN ITS TRUTH.
tBY TRLB0RAPH TO rHB TRlBuSRl
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-The Pomeroy Investigating
Committee has been engaged all day on its report
or in considering the nature of it. 1t is generally
beheved that the Committee will whitewash Mr.
Pomeroy, and report that nothing has been proved
against him, notwithstanding the absurd defense OF
Pomeroy, that he received the $1,000 from banker
IN Topeka without giving receipts and in an inter-
view with York, between l o'clock and 3 on the
morning before the Senatorial election, gave him
$4,000 of il, and the next day So'"V
more to be taken to Page at some future
visit home Pomeroy taking no receipt from him Tor
it-a defense which overy lawyer laughed at. But
whatever report the Committee makes NOBODY ih
Washington will be deceived. 1t was more than
ence remarked when the investigation was IN pro
gress that If he admitted giving York the money he
was lost, and when he did admit that his friends
who had before defended him deserted him in great
numbers. The Committee is expected TO report
some time tomorrow or next day.
