passengers left Elmira last night, COM
prising the second Mansfield Pacific
Colony.
A Suns Washington special says that
claim we'll authenticated, was present
ed by Ely of New York ON behalf of
Abraham Harris and referred to the
Committee on Expenditures of the Trea-
sury. 1t sets forth that Boutwell, paid
Butler $25. 200 as attorney OF Jayne the
revenue detective. The evidence further
shows Boutwell, paid this sum knowing
that Butler would thereby use his in
fuence to get Boutwell, elected senator,
with the assurance also that Richardson
would be appointed Boutwell's successor
as Secretery OF the Treasury. In plain
language, Boutwell, allowed Butler to
intercept $4,000 belonging to Harris,
knowing that Butler would exert him
self to elect Boutwell, to the Senate in
place of Wilson elected Vice.President.
Schenck is still Minister to England
under the tenure OF Office act, Dana
having been rejected. Fifteen Senators
lodged and number paired off. When
the discussion ended hardly a quorum
was present. This action of the Senate
shows that Butler is the presiding
genius of that body.
A Times Washington special says. but
little interest was taken in the formal
3 presentation of the impeachment articles
t by the public to-day. The proceedings
to follow will probably be uninterest

position in both houses to all these bill
: but particularly TO the transfer Of th
. Indians because in this matter Senate,

q and lobbyists must lose one of the grea
