SPECIAL TO THE SILVER STATE. !



| snip 4 CO., large cluthiers on Broadway
have failed. Liabilities not known.
The general agent Of the Pennsyl-
vania road was in this city, aud said
he had no orders to reduce the rates to
indianapolis and St. Lonis. Such dis
elimination will be fatal to the road
here, as popular sympathy is stron2l,
with the Baltimore and Ohio road
Railroad circles are much excited,
all roads will have to reduce rates if the
| fight continues.
Tribune Washington special says
the Sub Committee on Ways and Means
and the Committee on Pacific Mai, In-
vestISation are writing out report for
| the consideration Of the House. The
inquiry, however. is not yet entirely
closed; but certain facts are known
which subsequent inquiry cannot
change. 1t seems TO be decided by the
/ committee that notwithstanding the
| tact that Que million was disbursed by
| the corrupt agent of HE Pacific Mail
Steamship Company, not one dollar
! found its way Into the hands of til
/ present members of Congress. 1b.
/ committee will condemn Schumacher,
ex-memb Der, also doorkeepers Hensley
aud Boyd for receiving $315, COO of the
compahy's money. 1t Is intimated
/ Schumacher expulsion will be recon-
mended. Postmaster King of the Ho
who received S1l5, 900 from The COM
| pany, will receive serious condemna-
ton from the House, and will hardly
take bis seat III the next Congress.
HIS prosecution ior perjury aud con-
tempt will Ee recommended.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.
/ The Senate was IN session all night
on the Plnchback question. Merriman
! addressed the Senate, and insisted that
the President was responsible for the
/ m lbtaFfarat,.A
which violated the Constitution. The
| Northern States would never have sub
nitted TO the grievances OF Louisiana.
Stewart defended the Republican party.
Its exis tence was necessary to the saliva
! ton and preservation of liberty.
! He did not want any better Presidential
/ election documents than the Democratic
| speeches that would be made Ill the
next Congress. MIR. Edmunds sui :
united the following as substitute for
the pending resolutions: " ResUlyeC
| that the Committee on Privileges and
Elections be and is hereby Instructed
to report forthwith bill declaring that
no constitutional goyernmt AT exists III
III Louisiana, and proVlding Tor the
election OF Governor, lieutenant
Governor and mt mbers of the Assem-
| bly, OF the State OF Louisiana, and all
other State officers who by the Consu-
TIA ion of the state are to be elected 10y
vote OF the people thereof. Mr.
Boutwell, sad the whole history Of the
South Tor the last fifteen ears mad been
one OF injustice to the loyal people OF
the South, who sought 10 be relieved
of the Obligations imposed by the TAIr-
teenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth
amendments. He said they never
would be relieved Of those obhSatlous,
and their allies in the Nor We're jus
as powerless to help them IN tins re-
spect now as they were III 1850, 1864,
1868 and 1872. There Was no doutt
OF. the existence Of the White League
organizations il Louisiana, nor of tie
frequent outrages and murders com
mi,ted. The bandltti OF Italy would
trn pale at the truthful narrative Of
the Kuklux order in America.
