WASHINGTON April 22.-It is understood that the
Committee on Ways and Means will soon resume
the investigation INTO the affairs OF the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company 1t is perfectly well-known
here that An enormous amount of money was sent to
Washington for purposes ofcorruption, though many
Congressmen deny that 1t really reached any of the
Congressional pockets. Their theory is that it was
mainly absorbed by middle-men and by dishonest
officers of the Company themselves. The unani-

that even the remaining subsidy may also DO taken

The following are the more essential points OF the
unanimous report of the Senate Committee:

COUNT OF RECENT DEvELoPMEsTs-GEN. BUT
LRR's NAME INTIMATELY CONNECTED WITH THE
NEW CASES.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE rRIBUSE.l
WAsHiNGToN, April 23.-The Ways and Means
Committee to-day considered tho report on the San
born investigation, prepared by Mr. Foster, and
although some verbal changes were made, the gen
eral temper Of the document was not altered, and
remains as indicated in THE TRIBUNE a
day or two ago. 1t was accepted by
every member of the Committee, and it will
therefore have what is very rare, unanimous
vote. It. was the intention Of the Committee TO
make their report without further delay, and to
press their bill for the repeal of the section OF tue
act of May g. 1872 authorizing the contracts but IN
formation las come to the Committee of such
startling character with reference to hitherto unde
veloped atrocities under the law, that they have
decided to reopen the inquiry in order to take test
moDy with reference to it. Tho Committee have
been very reticent with reference to the witnesses
in the cases, and to the class of cases. fearing that
witnesses might be tried with by some potent infu-
ence, it has been thought the case with other
witnesses from New-York.
The Sergeant Arms of the House went person
ally to NewYork last night, with subpenas for A. IT,
Fay, several persons connected with whisky cases,
and Col. DeKay, who was closely connected with
the cases. Both the gentlemen named are partlcu-
lar friends of Gen. Butler and both have had much
TO do in connection with the Sanborn contracts The
name of Fay has frequently been mentioned in the
testimony, appearing sometimes az friend ana
sometimes as counsel for Sanborn and sometimes as
a special agent Of the Treasury gang abroad
on SanbOrn's business. 1t IS expected that
the Committee will be enabled to prove
that IN one case, $1,000 paid by q certain
person to be used for influence in Washington, and
that backmailing to an unprecedented degree was
carried on under cover of the Sanborn contract, in
the vicinities Of New-York and Brooklyn. In one
case to be looked after it was shown that certain
taxes were found to bo due the Government long be-
fore the law under which the Sanborn contracts
were made was passed. These taxes were sued for
and an Indictment against the parties obtained sub
scquently. The law was passed in May 1872, and in
August the first contract was made with Sanborn
In November the amount due the Government for
withheld taxes and for which the indictment was
obtained was collected, and out Of the amount 80
per cent was paid Sanborn, although he had nothing
whatever to do with the collection. Gen. Buffers
name is still uppermost in connection with the ad-
ministration Of the Contract law. 1t is expected
that some Of the witnesses will be examined to-
morrow.

A WoRDY ENCOUNTER BETWEEN REPRESENTATIVES,
BROWN AND sTARKwEATHER.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSE.l

IBY TELEGRAPH the TRIBUSE.l
WASHINGTON. April 23.-John Young Brown OF
Kentucky and Mr. Starkwcather of Connecticut had
n wordv encounter to-day that excited the House
and diverted the galleries rs only personalities do
The cause was a sharp and rather offensive reply
made by Mr.. Starkweather moro than month ago
n the political harangue of Mr. Brown, delivered
short time before. Mr.. Brown had nursed ms Wrath
this timc Whiting for chance to get even with
his assaant The resurrection of his old rebelious
letter of 1861 that lost him his seat in the 2AAlAth
Congress was one Of his chief grudges against the
Connection. member, and to revenge himself Tor
this he had Mr. Starkweathers famous Huntington
letter read from the Clerks desk. Theu he accused
him of interpolating sanderous statements IN ms
printed speech, which he had not uttered, and said
he had INDUCED in libel by stealth and had exhibited
the ipsoence of a Dogborry with the morals OF
Pecksniff.
The ring of members that had gathered around
the Kentuckian during the delivery Of this TRADE
now marched over to the other side of the House TO
hear what Mr. Starkweather would say in reply
He began by critcisng Mr.. Browns Old speech Tor
its tone Of sympathy with the Rebellion and eS-
pecially for its eulogy Of Breckenridge, VINO had
broken his oath to support the Constitution without
the excuse of the secession OF his State, and then
passed TO defense Of the letter to Huntington.
This defense was only an eiaDOIaUioh VI 'n"' pun
lished by Mr. Starkweather in Norwich paper
during the late campaign IN Connecticut and was
much too dlffuse and rambling to be effective. 1t
would have been more convincing and entirely
dignifed if he had not tried to initiate Mr. Buffers
blackguardism Of newspaper men. In conclusion
Mr. Starkweather referred triumphantly to the fact
that he had been before the District Investigating
Committee and had been told that there was no
evidence against him.
When Mr.. Brown got mp to have the last word
George F. Hoar asked him where he found any eyl-
dence of corruption in Mr. Starkweathers letter.
Mr. Brown said that to his olfactories 1t reeked of
corruption all the way through, and he proceeded to
read it. putting on an expression as If he had some
bad smelling thing under his nose Then he started
off in euogy Of Breckenridge as the white rose OF
Kentucky but in the midst of this panegyric he was
cut off with points of order for not speaking to the
question before the House. A great turmoil arose,
some Republicans shouting for him to go on. and
saving they wanted his speech for campaign docu-
ment and others insisting that the debate had gone
far enough. The Democrats prudently renamed
neutral but most of them were evidently pleased
when their hot headed colleague was prevented by
repeated calls TO order from further stirring up the
fast-expiring embers OF sectional feeling.

VOICE FROM NEw-ENGLAND.
VIEWS OF Ex-Gov. SMITH OF VERMONT.

A reporter of The TRIBUNE last evening
called upon ex-Gov. j. Gregory Smith Of Vermont,
temporarily stopping at the Windsor Hotel and asked
him for his opinion of the of the Currency Bill He
said he had formed very decided one in the matter
and it was that the veto of this bill the salvation of
this country This was the universal sentiment in the
New England States where all considered that this was
the only safe course the President could have taken It's
approval would surely have tended TO the depreciation
OF every value, and ultimately the decentralization OF the
country. Luckily this now averted, and the next
question was whether Congress would effect any com
promise between the two extremes and remedy as far as
possible Tins currency mudde. Ii was greatly to be
feared that this would be accomplished. In his
opinion the only safe plan was gradual return 10
specie payment. He was favorably disposed toward
the free banking system, but this would not be safe
except upon q speoe basis. The commercial and fnan-
cla world would feel the beneficial results OF the
veto The inatonsts themselves however conscientious
they may have been in their support OF the bill, would
stl be enabled 10 see how mistaken they had been in
their views. Without doubt there were many in the
Western states with whom there strong noed Of
pausiOn the currency but the increase that pro
posed bg Congress would not have improved matters
with them There would su have remained the same
was a natural law that made New-York the great com
mercia and financial center, and the great b1k
way there no matter wnat extent it's vol
ume was increased. More method in the distribution
OF the currency was needed Here was where the com
promise bet the inhatOniss and the antllnhation
ss was needed but seemed probable that IN their
present excitement little to this END could he expected
He said il would be mprudent and premature for any
Prominent members of both parties had favored as well
as opposed the bill.

confidence is restored and speedy return TO specie
