Mr. Brghts first political appearance since tho Lib
era party went out Of Office, aud his second since
his illness He speaks cheerfuly Of the steady im-
provoment of his health, saying that he is now
much better than he has been at any time during
the last five years. He even looks forward to TAX
ing part In Parliamentary business next session.
That assurance ought to satisfy the inpatient Lib
eral who lately thought it duty 80 intimate to
MIR. Bright that he ought to resign if he felt HIM
self unable to attend to the interests of the borough
Or the impertinenco might equally well have been
left unanswered. Mr.. Bright says now, as he has
often said before. that he feels very strongly the
kindness he has experienced from his constituents
during the ill-health which interrupted his Parlia-
mentary duties. 1t is graceful and proper thing
for him to say, but most ungracoful in meddle-
some constituent to seek to exact from him pledge
to get well or resign. Birmingham is All important
town. and has business to be done in Parliament no
doubt; she has also two active and able representa-
tives-Mr. Dixon aud Mr.. Muntz-beside Mr. Bright.
But have no sort of doubt that the inn
mense majority of Birmingham Liberals would pro-
foundly regret to sever their connection with Mr.
Bright, whether he prove able to give his time to
local matters or not. If Massachusetts, was content
to be represented long in the Senate by Mr. Sum-
ner's empty chair, Birmingham need not regard Mr.
Bright's temporary absence from the House as an
unendurable misfortune. CIV. S.

CHECKS PAID TO POSTMASTER KING AND AN
UNKNOWN MANA BROKERS TESTIMONY ABOUT
sTOCKwELLs OPERATIONS IN PACIFIC NAIL FOR
HIMSELF AND FRIENDs-wHAT THE POSTMASTER
OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES DID WITH
THE MONEY.
The SUBJ Committee of the Committee of Ways
and Means of the House Of Representatives. began
Yesterday their investigation in this city in regard
to the alleged bribery of members of Congress by
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company. The members
of the Committee occupy a room on the southern
side Of the Fifth Avenue Hotel. Sitting around an
obong table were Mr. Burchard, the Chairman OF
the Sub Committee, Mr.. Kassop, Mr.. Nback, Fer
nando Wood, Mr.. Dawes, and Mr.. Beck. Rufus
Hatch was present, with Clark Bell as his coun-
sell Mr. Bassett, the clerk Of tho Committee OF
Ways and Means acted as Secretary, The Commit
tee also had their own stenOgrapher Mr.. Devine
Several witnesses were present, and were examined
before the session was over. George 8. Coe, the
President of the American Exchange Bank was the
first witness. He told about the largo deposit made
by Irwin in May 1872 amounting to $75OoOo and
stated that SS25 900 of this amount was drawn ont
in three separate checks probably in cash paid over
the counter to Irwin himself. He recOunted the
presentation Of two other large checks, one OF
S275,OOO and one of $1,000, by TWO strangers
who were unwilling to indentify themselves, and
how in their zeal protect the bank they discovered
that one of these men was William $. King, the Post
master of the House of Representatives, Their cf-
forts to identify the other man were unsuccessful.
The assistant cashier Of that bank cOrrObOrated tho
testimony of his superior. Mr. Harriot, of the firm
of Harriet & Noyes stock brokers, gave an account
of A. B. Stockwell's operations in Pacific Mail
during May, 1872. lie had word to
say about Congressman Parsons's account.
The cashier of the Marine Bank. j. Delamater, who
received the check of 250O0 from the stranger was
unable to give any information without his books,
and will appear again to-day. The testimony OF J.
L. Worth, the cashier Of the Park Bank, was not
important as that of his note teller, Thomas Ellis,
who had prepared memorandum showing what w.
S. King did with the S1l5,O00. Part Of it was paid
to him in cash. part placed to the credit of banks in
ST. Paul and Minneapolis little went to John ID.
Rice, ex-C Congressman and some to Darling, Gris-
void s. Co. of the Fifth Avenue Hotel. This com-
prised the testimony of the day, and the Committee
expressed themselves well satisfied with it. They
thought that several new facts were developed and
that many avenues Of investigation had been
opened How long they will sit they do not know.
