A Washington special says that
Mrs. Wood, daughter of General Tay-
Tor, who recently was voted by the
House a pension of fifty dollars
a month, is mother of John Taylor
Wood, who commanded the rebel
cruiser Tallahassee, and who is now a
well-tO-dO commission merchant at
Halifax. 1t is also said that Mrs.
Wood was a bitter secessionist during
the war and, moreover, that she has
been living in Paris for some time in
magnificent style.
Specials state positively that the re-
port of the Mobilier Committee will
recommend the expulsion Of Ames
and Brooks, and the severe ensur of
other implicated Congressman, with
the probable impeachment of Colfax.
Alnes is said to be i~ncredulous as to
the truth of this rulmor, and AYERS
that, if they attempt to expcl him, he
will die hard that it will take the
whole House to kill him. "If,' he
says, "this expulsion occurs, what
will it show? 1t will show that no
man must hereafter tell the truth
about Il Congressman. How are the
world and the people to regard it?
What do you do? You eXpel Brooks
for lying and you expel me for tell-
ing the truth"
