Mr. Smith was greatly astonished when

food, and begged him to come down and
get something to eat The measure f.

HOUSE.

Mr. Durham, from the Committee on
Contingent Expenses in the Depart
ment OF Justice, made reports on these
expenses and in relation to the middle
judicial district OF Alabama, which were
ordered printed and recommittei.
The House then resumed the con-
sideration OF the report OF the Commit
tee on Ways and Means on the Sanborn
contracts and was addressed by Mr..
Beck, q member OF that committee.
Mr.. Beck spoke OF Ssnborn as q man
who had been paid $2l3, 900, for doing
absolutely nothing except prostiIuting
officers OF the government 10 his OWL
purpose. He had no hesitation in cay
ing that the whole thing was a sys-
tenn Of corruption, a perVersioa Of law,
and an overriding OF authority, such as
he had never seen equalled and hoped
be never would again. He referred 10
toe impugnments OF the mo-
tives OF the committee in
the editorials OF the administration
organ, the Republican, and said that as
the Treasury Department had thus
thrown down the gauntlet, he would
now say what he had not intended to
say; that he would make the record
show that these officials could not stay
in that department, and that no honest
President could keep them. He would
not use deuuncistion; he would bring
forth stubborn facts which demanded
i'm peachment aud which demanded the
conviction OF Ssnborn to the penlten-
tisry OF the country. He declared
that the Sanborn contract was
made by Richardson as acting Secreta-
~, taking advantage OF the temporary
absence OF Boutwell,, and that under it
Ssnborn Was allowed his so per cent in
cases where indictments were already
pending, so there could have been no
pretence of discovery on the part OF
Sanborn.

the Whole, Tyner in the chair, on the

internal revenue laws.

Rumored Cabinet Cnange.


A rumor is in circulation to-day that
the President will appoint new Secre
tsry OF the Treasury either to-day OF
Tomorrow. 1t can be traced to no
official source, though parties holding
prominent positions here say they con-
slider it worthy OF being credited.
The House Committee on Railroads
and Canals decided to-day to recon-
mend no bill of the House granting
charters to railroads or water routes,
unless the applicants for the same are
supported by wealth and the endorse
ment Of the people along the proposed
line, to Q sufficient extent TO warrant
the belief that they will be taken up and
pushed to completion; 10 charters to
be issued to any bogus company to sell
out to other parties.
