lBY TELEGRAPH THE TRIBUNEl
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-The Ways and Means Com
mttee to-day considered the request from officials
in the Treasury not to insist upon the publishing of
the SanbOrn contracts Assistant Secretary Sawyer
is quite in earnest in having the resolutions mod-
fed. The Committee considerably at loss fully
TO understand the unusual anxiety manifested to
withhold these documents. IL was decided, how
ever, that az resolution of inquiry had
been passed and reconsidered, and the mo-
ton to reconsider laid ON the table, it was
beyond the power of the House, except by
unanimous consent, to change it.. That unanimous
consent could not be obtained was quite apparent,
and members of the Committee felt that after 30
much public attention has been called to the matter,
they could not properly recommend any modifica-
ton.
Several of the reasons for the desire on the part
OF some TO keep the contracts from the public, have
been ascertaiDed by the Committee The form oil
making these contracts required the insertion of the
names of the persons and corporations that 1T was
proposed to proceed against, and the accompanying
papers which are really part of what sent for,
contain details that will cause much annoyance and
embarrassment to several of the persons Interested
IL appears that many of the sums collected by
these contractors and subcontractors, for half the
amount should have been collected by the regular
machinery of the Internal Revenue service, at the
expense of its regular officers only. The charge
upon which certain legal proceedings have been
based is that in many cases, through cOuslon with
Revenue officials taxes which the latter could easily
have collected turned over to those contractors
who could realize so per cent on the amount, and
then afford to make quite liberal settlement
Another feature of the case IT, that persons shown
by the investigation last Winter TO have been stock
holders in the Credit Mobilier, were Immediately
approached by these contractors and confronted
with their former income returns and with evidence
from the books Of the Company. as produced before
the Committee here, that they had received large
dividends. They were then asked to pay the de-
fciency in their income returns, together with the
legal penalties This branch Of the subject ID re-
ported as forming one of the strongest reasons
for preventing the publication Of these contracts.
1t s further said that soon AZ the railroad from
Danville, Va, TO Greensboro, N. G., which united
the States had been treated property of the Con-
federate Government, was claimed by private
company, these contractors Immediately demanded
the payment of taxes The question seems to be
settled however, at last, and against the Treasury
Department, and 30 the documents must soon make
their appearance.

TIE DEBATE IN THE HoUsE-THE APPROPRIATIONS
COMMITTEE SUSTAINED IN THEIR EFFORT TO
REDUCE THE RANK AND FILE OF THE ARMY.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSE.l
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3-The Army bill was the
regular order in the House to-day, and after Mr..
Beck had made a speech in favor ofipaying the Ma
tonal debt in greenbacks which sounded like an
echo from the Democratic platforms of 1--WE or SIX
years ago, there was little serious and practical
consideration of the cost of the military establish
men and the necessity of mantanngi at its present
strength The pending question was on reducing the
appropriation for recruiting to let the force of
enlisted men drop down TO 25OCO by not enlisting
enough during the coming year to keep it to the
maximum standing Of 10000. Some interesting facts
were stated by Mr. Gunckel relative to the cost Qf
the British army, from which it appears that the
British soldier is maintained for less than One-haf
the cost of the American soldier, and is better
housed better clothed, and better fed although not
so well paid.
Mr.. Wheeler who had the bill in charge, in an
sv7er 10 complaints of Western and Texas members,
that more troops were needed to defend the Indian
frontier said that if such were the the War De-
partment had better 90 TO the fine houses of officials
in Washington and take out the private soldiers who
were acting as servants put uniforms on them and
send them to the frontier This statement thrown out
with good deal of force and significance, created
sensation Mr.. Wheeler was asked how many SOL
diers we're thus detailed servants, but he replied
that he had no facilities for learning that which
other members did not possess. Mr.. Potter supplied
the information wanted. by saying that he was In
formed that there were over 1000 enlisted men IN
Washington leaving the inference that their duties
were not of a military character. The Military
Committee which has a commendable foDdness for
finding out things, will doubtless be stimulated by
Mr.. WheeIers and Mr.. Potters statements 10 inyes-
tigate the matter.
Mr.. Garfield argued insfavor of the proposed re-
duction of 5000 men, saying that there were now
5000 soldiers east of the Mississippi. OF whom liza
were around New York Harbor and 1000 on the
Canada border, while there was not single British
soldier on the other side of the frontier.
The result of the debate was that the Appropra-
lions Committee were sustained in their effort to
reduce the rank and file of the army, and the
method by which they proposed to effect it was
made moro direct and positive by an amendment
prohibiting the expenditure OF any money Tor re-
cruitng beyond the number of $1,000 men.
