WABH1NdToN, Fob. 28.-It is tho intention Of
the Senate not to take any action in tho case Of
Patterson, but to allow the resolution e1pelling
him to Lie on tho table, on tho ground that tho
pressure OF business prevents Its being taken up
this session. IA his term of office expires on
tho 4sh OF March next, tho Senator from New
Hampshire will have the consolation Of knowing
that he only escapes expulsion through tho for

The discharge Of tue Poland Committee leaves
an important question unsettled. Who OWLS
the ten ahares Of tho Credit Mobilier stock
which Ames AM 1 banded to Kelley In tho committee
Poland, and by him deposited with tho Sergeant
at-Arms for safe keeping7 Poland asked Amos
to-day what ho should do with those eharee.
Ames said he would not take them back. Thoy
wore Kelloy's property, and ho had no claim
upon them. Poland is In quandary. Tic
shares nre hold by Mr. Ordway, subject to his
order as Chairman Of the Select Committee, but
the Committee Is discharged, and has now no
holiey washes his hands Of 1t. Poland don't
know what to do with 1t. and has no AUTHORITY

wants M to get rid Of it. Tho only proper way out

The resolution notified tho Senate that Tho
