CREDIT noDILlEN INQUIRY,

WASHINGTON, February Cat the sit
ting of Judge Poland'5 Committee this
morning, Congressman Brooks submitted
letter from ex.SeCretary Browning,
dated March 81, 1868, transmitting COM
missions as Government Director OF the
Union Pacific, and stated that itwas the
27th OF December, 1867, that Nelson got
his shares from Durant.
Horace +. Clark, President Of the
Union Pacific road, WAS examined by
Brooks. He testified that he never had
any interest in the Credit Mobilier; deem.
cd it TOO hazardous, ashe regarded it as o
construction company, and that part Of
the men had to guard the others while
building the road. The witnesses exam.
ination as tothe construction Of the road
developed nothing new; 100 per cent was
not regarded as large profit on construc'
ton. Didn't think the capital could be
raised now to build the Union Pacific,
even il $lO,OOO,OOO profits were gusrsn'
teed.
The Wilson Committee heard the testi.
mony Of extension Commissioner Cox,
and Smith Of the land office, showing
that Hoover, q former witness, had q
questionable character.
In Mr.. Poland's committee to-day Hon.
James n. Beck, Of Kentucky, was sworn
and examined by Mr.. Brooks. Witness
was member of the Conference Commit.
tee in relation to the interest question OF
the Union Pacific Railroad. Has been
very intimate with Brooks, and does not
remember Of Brooks ever speaking to him
in any shape or form whatever in regard
to the Pacific road. Witness, with ma
iority of the Conference Committee,
agreed that the law was on the side OF the
Pacific Railroad. Had no sort OF recollec.
ton that Brooks ever opened his mouth to
him on the subject, either directly or indi'
rectly. r'.ar
Hon, Daniel W. Voorhees, was sworn
and examined by Mr.. Brooks. Witness
was member OF the Pacific Railroad
Committee during the last Congress, and
had questions up in which the Union Pa
cific Railroad was deeply interested.
Mr.. Brooks nevor spoke TO the
witness on the subject of the Pacific
railroad, and never appeared before
railroad committee on any measure be-
fore 1t.
Mr.. Brooks stated that the charge had
been made that he received shares to in
fence members OF Congress, and that this
testimony was to show that he had never
made any such attempt. II the Commit.
tee desired further evidence he hoped they
would call any member on the Demo
cratic side. The Committee adjourned un'
III tomorrow.
The Louisiana investigation adjourned
until tomorrow, alter IN examination OF
Fellows, who expressed the belief that
the election Of 1879 was an organized
fraud, and that ex.Gov. WarmOth had
not the confidence Of any party.
On Cross-examination by Warmoth, he
said he got his information from parties
hostile to Warmoth.

CINCINNATI.


CNcIENATI, February 0. In the Uni.
ted States Court Of the 1st District OF
Ohio, Cincinnati, Hon. P. 3. Swing, Judge,
d decision wus rendered to-day granting
the petition OF James T. Williamson to
have the firm styled s. W. Morton & Co.
adjudged bankrupts on the declaration OF
the petitioner that they had stopped pay
menls OF their commercial paper for four
teen days, in that they gave note to
plaintiff in payment for lumber and ne
elected 10 pay them when due. The
members Of the firm are s. W. Morton
and John G. Fremont. Its business was
to excavate the railroad tunnel under
Walnut Hill Mt Cincinnati. The case
came up on q demurrer to the petit
ton by the defense. -Four counts OF the
acts OF bankruptcy were alleged, and the
firm was adjudged bankrupt on the first
count, while the petition on the remaining
three counts was dismissed on the ground
that the acts alleged, though committed
by q member of the firm were not in lieu
of the business proper Of the firm, and
that 8. W. Morton who committed these
acts, and not the firm Of which he was a
member, was responsible. The allega.
tions were dismissed, as the acts Of Nor
ton alone were, that the firm sold and
conveyed personal property to an indl-
vidual when insolvent and. in -eontempla'
ton of insolvency, and that they made
this sale with intent TO hinder, delay and
defraud tho creditors, and that 10
avoid legal process, they absented them
selves six months from the Sixth District
OF Ohio. The case will probably be taken
TO q higher tribunal. s. W. Morton as
agent for the firm, transacted business
here, while John G. Fremont, another
member Of the firm, was at Tarrytown,
New Jersey. The judg gment is against
the firm as a firm, and not against its
members as individuals
