ton, asked fer instruction. 1t was

In the "sIar" route investigation,
today, General Brady was questioned
further in relation to Santa Fe and

eral Brady stated that the department
bad absolute discretion in the award
ing of contracts and he could disre-
gard any and all bids, snd advertise
for new proposals or award the con-
tracts outside of the list of bidders.
He had been greatly annoyed
with complaints on the route in
question, and when he declared
MoDonough q failing contractor,
had decided to put the service
back to a tri-weekly service. He
offered it frat TO his sureties at the
original figures, S13, 300; when they
refused, he awarded it to Walsh. Did
not at that time contemplate q subse-
quent increase OF the service and pay;
did not offer a daily services contract

LATEST KILOGRAMS.
FORTY sixth CONGRESS.
REGULAR SESSION.
HOUSE

Washington, 23.-After some mig
cellaneOas business, committees were
called fol- reports of g private nature.
The House then went into coDd-
mittee of the whole on the state of
the Union. for the purpose of listen
ing to Horr's reply 10 Coz's speech
yesterday.
When Borr rose the scene was as
dramatic and exciting as when an
important political debate impends.
The galleries were crowded with
people, and the members gathered
around Horr, who spoke from the
space in front of the Speakers desk.
He stated that before he COM
menced his reply to the eloquent
and able speech of the disting
uished and weighty gentleman from
New York (Cox), ne would
ask the clark to read the speech, or
a portion oft, which he (Horr) had
delivered a few days ago and which
had occasioned that fearful effort,
which tie house had endured yester-
day. The clerk read as follows:
Genial little friend;" loud laughter. J
Horr justified himself for using the
words Genial little friend" by ex-
planning that they we're spoken in the
heat OF debate (lRuE hter.) He had
spent his boyhood in manual labor
and hard work, and Was consequently
sometimes embarrassed, and in his
extreme difidence dropped words
which he was sorry for afterwards.
Nothing had been further from his
mind than the idea of belittling the
gentleman from New York before
this assembly. He knew the gentle
mans weight and sccomplishm ents,
and far be il from him to contest
with him. After quite a lengthy
speech, during which the House was
kept in an almost CONSTANT rear of
ss.Us uEoT, hoar said ne was
not post, but a friend
had written for him an epitapb upon
the gentleman from New York,
which he thought just covered the
case:
Beneath this slab lies the great Sam Cox,
Who was wise as an owl and brave as an
OK.
Think it not strange his turning to dust,
For he swelled and he swelled till he
finally bust;
Just where he has gone, or just how he
fares,
Nobody knows and nobody care7;
But wherever he is, be he angel OF elf,
Be cure, dear reader, he is pulling himself.
Cox making no reply, the commit
tee arose and the House Immediately
went into committee OF the whole on
the private calendar, Cox in the
chair.
Alter some time the committee
arose and number of private bills
we're passed.
Adjourned until Monday.
