CHICAGO, Feb. 2S.-A Washington
special says the report of the Senate
Credit Mobilier Committee last night
was totally unexpected and created q
profound sensation on the floor of the
Senate, and in the galleries.
While Morton was speaking on the
Louisiana question, Morrill,, of Maine,
Chairman of the Committee, asked him
to allow him to submit its report. 1t
was sent to the Clerks desk and an Or
der to print was made. Some Senator
asked if the report was accompanied by
resolution, and Morrill, replying in
the Affirmative, Ferry, who occupic,!
the Chair, directed it to be read. Sew
eral Senators asked Morton in an ,u,-
dertone to proceed with his speech, bet
Morton asked the Clerk to read the les
olution, which lie did. Morton then
went on with his speech, but no one
longer listened to him. The next in
slant the Senator's, with solemn faces
were gathered in knots of twos, threes
and fours all over the Chamber, dis
cussing the unexpected report. Pat
tcrson, who, at the time the report was
made, occupied Hamlin's scat, between
Conkling and Howe, bowed his head,
and for five or ten minutes he was in
conversation with Howe. He looked
flushed and excited. Harlan went at
once to the clerks desk, and for fifteen
or twenty minutes was carefully read
ins the report, taking notes from it.
When lie was done with it, Patterson,
who had returned to his seat, sent for
the report and read it apparently with
great care.
