INVESTIGATION IN ORDER.

An effort is making in the U. S, Senate
to investigate the Treasury Department,
but the Republican majority seem de-
termined to refer Mr., Davis's resolution
tothe regular Finance Committee instead
of a special committee. as the Democratic
Senators want. In this connection the
following Washington special (19th) to
the New York World is appropriate:
The various investigations ordered by
the House are getting fairly under way.
1t takes no little time to examine docu
ments and summon witnesses. The great
er the frauds the deeper they are buried.
1t took nearly two sessions and portions
of two Congresses to develop the Pacific
Mail iobbery. None of the committees,
however, of the present House are letting
the grass grow under their feet. That

mony to-day relating to the Indian con-
tract swindles, showing that contracts
have not been awarded to the lowest
bidders in all instances. The Committee
on Expenditures in the State Depart
ment, which in the former Congresses
never held a meeting, has live chair
man, Mr.. Springer, of Illinois, and such
members as Caldwell, of Tennessee;

of Pennsylvania, and General Leaven-
worth, of New York. They have called

AN INVESTIGATION NEEDED.

Mr.. Eaton (Dem., Conn., said he was
engaged, about six months ago, with one
of the shrewdest bankers in the United
States in the examination of the finance
reports from 1871 to 1874. The time oc-
cupied in the examination was about
three weeks, and he did not hesitate to
assert that there was not an accountant
in the United States who could take the
finance reports and the debt statement,
and come within S50,0O0,0O0 of the
amount of the public debt.
Mr.. Dawes (Rep,, Mass, said if the
Senator from West Virginia Davis
would say that he had reason to believe
that any one had attempted to make the
books of the Treasury Department falsely
state the condition of the public debt, he
Dawes would vote for the special com
mittee; but if the whole purpose of this
resolution was to ascertain If the books
of the Treasury Department could not be
kept in more simple manner, it was
evident to hin that the Finance Commit
tee could make the inquiry.
Mr.. Davis said that not only the Sena-
tor from Massachusetts, but other Sena-
tors, had attempted to put words into his
mouth. He Davis had not said there
was fraud, or that any one had altered
the books; but he did say the statements
sent to Congress from year to year had
been changed; and, further, that the new
table of 1870 did not agree with the Reg
ister's report; but since then the Regis
ter's report had been made to agree with
that table.
Pending the discussion, Mr.. Sherman
moved that the resolution be laid aside,
in order that the Senator from Indiana,
Mr. Morton, might call up his resolution
inregard to the Mississippi election, and
submit the remarks, which he was pre-
pared todo. Agreed to.
