WASHINGTON May 27.-The bill Of the Ways and
Means Committee repeating the section OF the law oil
1872 authorizing the Sanborn contracts was passed by
The House to-day with as little opposition rs mo-
ton TO give q member leave of absence. during
The discussion of the Sanbom contracts, which has
heen somewhat short, only one man has been found
who dared TO defend the adventuror or his assist
ants in the Treasury Department. That man was
Mr. Kellogg of Connecticut He deplored the con-
dition of things and was unhappy. He thought the
House ought not TO pass vote of condemnation OF
Mr. Richardson.
Several speeches were made this morning before
the bill was passed the most noticeable of which
was that of Mr.. Clymer of Pennsylvania. He was
very sharp on Assistant Secretary Sawyer showing
that genuemans instrumentahty in having the law
passed. and his connection with its execution. lie
traced the completely of Simmons. the Supervisor in
Boston, and Hawley, in New-York, with Sanborn,
showing how at the Governments expense they
aided him in prosecuting his infamous practices, all
this being done with the knowledge and at the dl-
rection of Richardson, Sawyer, and Banfeld lie
regretted that the committee OF W anu Mcdns
dil not recommend the impeachment Of Richardson
for incapabiity and imbecility, and of Sawyer and
Banfeld for completely in the frauds generally He
could not understand how the President withstood
and resisted the universal demand of the
honest Of all parties which found Its
Just expression in the unanimous report
Of the Committee on Ways and Means.
that these three should be expelled from office. He
suggested that the President not always so indif
ferent TO such requests when they come from n
proper quarter, having within few days cast into
the ba sket the official head of one of the members
of the Board OF Public Works of the District for
daring TO tell the whole truth; aud he regretted he
had refused TO remove others who were convicted
not merely Of suppreSSing truth but of incapacity
and completely with fraud. Mr.. Civmer, in referring
to the position of Secretary of the Treasury. said
that from Hamilton to Chase it had been filled by
giants but that it had lately become a plaoe for
pignies.
The first vote was taken on the amendment of
Mr., Beck prohibiting Senators and members of Con-
gress from acting in behalf of any claimant against
the Government under penalty of fine and i'm
pfisonment. This was promptly passed without
division, Gen Butler sitting quietly by and offer
ing no opposition. Then the vote was taken on the
Committees bill repeating the contract law. There
was not a negative vote given, and when 1t was at
tempted to call the roll not dozen members were
found in favor it.
