A Lobbyist ExOnerates MIR. Beck.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-In the Ways and
Means Committee this morning George W.
Wylie testified that Stockwell promised to give
him certain "puts' and ''call,"i if he could in o..
1ueuce Congressman Beck to favor the subsi-
dy. He came to Washington with letter of
introduction to Beck from Charles A. Harvey,
and tried to argue Beck into supporting the
measure, but wholly failed. The witness never
offered Beck any pecuniary consideration what
ever and concealed from him all knowledge
that he (Wylie) had any pecuniary interest con-
tingent on receiving Beck's support
Harvey being sworn, corroborated Wylie' s
testimony.
c. X. Garrison was examined and emphati-
caly denied that he had ever said to any per-
son he could give the names of congressman
corruptly implicated in this matter He swore
he had no personal knowledge whatever that
any member of Congress bad received money
or anything of value to influence his vote. The
witness further testified he could not recollect a
single one of the names that were in the list
shown him by Mr. Sypher, but could swear it
consisted entirely of Southern members, and
did not contain the name Of any member of the
committee.
A subcommittee took this morning the testi-
mony of Schuyler r. Ingraham, at his room on
g street, he being too i'll from rheumatism to
attend in the committees room. Ingraham's
name was on Abert's list for $4,000. He had
been in Washington in the summer Of 1872
Irwin sent for him and asked him to aid him
in any way he could in the Pacific Mail subsi-
dy, promising if successful to do what was fair
with him. Witness had spoken only casually
to members and Others, presenting the same
reason for the subsidy as had been presented on
the floor Of the House, aud had also endeavor-
ed to molify the opposition coming from the
''bears' of Wall street. He did not know
whether he had really exercised any influence,
but after the bin passed he received from Albert
in Washington $4,000, and afterwards from r.
win in San Francisco another $4,000. None of
the money had ever gone for the benefit of any
member or officer of the House or of any per-
son but himself.
