Congressman Steele Preparing Bill for Re-
organization or the Army.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March 15-Maj. Geo. W. Steele
is now, and has been for several days, one Of the
busiest men in Congress. Besides his usual
duties, the House committee on military affairs
has referred to him all the bills introduced on
the subject of reorganization of the army, with
q request that he report substitute bill embody-
ing all the good points IN the bills introduced,
together with his own ideas of the matter. Maj.
Steele said this afternoon that it was one OF the
most perplexing pieces Of work he has ever had
to do requiring exercise Of all the practical mill
tary and business experience and knowledge he
could command He 10 proving equal to the
duty, however, and expects to report bill next
week. Upon investigation he found the general
organization OF the army to be very defective,
and to remedy all wrongs, without materially
increasing the cost Of the army, which Is now
the largest, proportionally, of any in the world,
and at the same time maintain the esprit de
corps, is indeed q hard matter for even states
man and trained soldier to accomplish.

WASHINGTON LETT FER.

Washington, D. C. Mch.; 18th, 1856,
 From our Regular Correspondent.
 The Senate galleries arc crowd ed this week, and great interest is felt in the discussion of the Pres idential prerogative. Fer more than two weeks nearly every Sen ator on both sides of the chamber has been at work preparing for the conflict growing out of the refusal of the Administration to send to the Senate papers and information bearing upon tue suS, pension of officials and touching the appointment of their success ors.
 Probably no such thorough over hauling and minute examination of historical documents has ever before heen made with reference to this question. Consequently as one Senator expressed il, both sides "were loaded to the muzzle

4 Matter Of Gratitude.

Months ago I had occasion to publicly testify to the rare curative properties ot Swift's Specific in the treatment of rheumatism, from which 1 had suffered for several years. am again constrained to bear testimony to the virtue of this famous medicine in the treat ment of another and quite d differ ent disease.
 Daring my late visit to the North l was stricken down with maIanal fever, and at times my recovery was extremely doubtful. At this period of my sickness, however, a copy of an Atlanta pa, per came to hand in which was a certificate from some person who had used with success Swift'S Specific in a similar case. Having a bottle with me, l immediately commenced taking it, and 1 am proud to say that good results fol lowed at once. then procured a few bottles from Boston, and con- tinued to take three doses daily until l recovered my health per fectly, result largely due to that valuable preparation, s. s. $.

The Strike.

Little change has taken place in the strike on the Gould Southwest system of railroads, save that it has grown 10 larger proportions. For the most part the strikers have been orderly, save at one or two points. At Little Rock Friday the South-bound passenger engine was stolen and run down to Benton, where freight train engine was "killed,n after which it returned to the city, when the U. s. Marshals captured four of the strikers, wounding one of them. At St. Louis engineers have been intimi- dated. Several efforts have been made by the railroad company to resume business, without success.
 The railway company last week discharged about 10,0G0 employ ees, including trackmen station agents clerks, operators, &c, rem dcred useless by the strike.
 Yesterday an order went into effect, lessening the speed of pas senger trains at night 10 eighteen miles an hour and twenty in day time. This was done to avoid ac. cidents. Ali trains are thus made several hours late.
 Saturday the railroad was grant ed an injunction against the strik- CTS, by tue courts 0f St. Louis, and also at Little Rock Monday, re- straining them from entering upon the right of way, shops, &c., of the company, It is probable this course will be pursuedall along the line, and another strong effort be made to resume traffic.
 The strike has now been going on since the 9th, and there is no telling when it will end, as both sides seem more determined than ever not 10 yield.

The Investigation.

The lower house ofCongress Rp- pointed a committee tC investigate and find out all about the Pan Electric telephone matter, and, what members of Congress anoI other public off cials held stock. and how they came by same which has been holding open sessions the past week. Below we give Rog sers' tine inventor) statement, which shows conelusiyely that At. torney General Garland paid noth- ,iug for his stock, and also had suii brought against the Bell Co.,, IT. val. But here is the sworn state ment that will speak for itself:
 "Rogers said he had invented a number of electrical devices which had been transferred to the Pan. Electric company. He gave his tory of the organization ofthe com. pany, with General Joseph E Johnston, Gen. Atkins and Sena tors Harris and Garland as incor- .porators, who were not to pay any money for their interests, Gov, Brown, of Missouri came into the company on the same terms Some other parties embarked il the enterprise, but they paid fol their stock. The company sold state rights usually at from 8 ,GOt to BIO, 1000, royalty on the instru- ments and certain proportion O. the local stocks. The aggregate OI the dividend paid out by Ne com pany was between thirty and fifty thousand dollars. Witness beiicv ed that the stock he had been sell ing was of value, depending iu par' on the correctness of MT Garland'S opinion as lawyer. He had de pended not only on Mir. Garland's opinion, but on the fact that the Pan Electric instrument was supe Iior to the Bell instrument, and ol the possibility of selling if to tho Bell company.
 The suit brought by the govern ment last summer against the Bel company was the next subject O inveStirntinn. .nd tha witness saiC that the only conference he ha, with any of his associates prior tt bringing of the suit had been witt Mr. Young some time in July. Hi' father was also present. The con yersatiOn was also held at witness ess' house. Mr. Ioung came there and informed them that the gov ernment would bring suit. Rog CTS senior asked whether MT. Gar land had promised to bring suit Mir. Young replied yes. Rogers senior said Mr. Garland had prom ised he will do it. Mr, Young sait that Mi Garland had delicacN about conducting the suit himself and everything would be left to MT. Goode. Mir, Rogers senior asked whether Mr Goode would act If the matter were left with him MT. Young said that was all riyhti MT. Goode was our friend or friend. ly to us; was not our enemy; and he (Ioung believed he would rather have Mir. Goode than MT Garland. The suit was instituted about one or two months after that conversation

with materialn for the performance which is now in progress. It was to have begun on Monday, but the star, Mir. EdmundS, plead sore throat and the people went away disappointed. He kept his engagement for the following day, however, and promptly at tue ar- pointed hour, arose with an lmpos- ing pile of manuscript before hIm lhis precedeuts to support his po- sition.1 which he used freely dur ing his speech of two and 8 half hours.
 I aIr. Edmunds, in his speech, which l had attracted much attention, and which will be generally discussed throughout the country, made, as was expected, the best of his weak side of the controversy. iic took such precedentS as best suited him and handled them with lnge- nuity.
 As yet only Senator Pngh of Ala. las replied to MT. EdmundS speech. Mir. Pugh showed among other things that the papers called flor by Senator Thurman when chairman of the Judiciary Commit tee, in g case of suspension, relat- ed to territorial court, and that the tenure of office act especially cxenpts Judicial officers from those to be suspended by the President. Mir. Edmunds has been followed by Senator Wilson 1 ofIowa and Senators Ingalls, and
 Evarts will te next to support him. On the Democratic side
 Senators Kenna, Beck and Jack
 son will be among the champions
 of the administration.
 A prominent Democratic lawyer of this city who was talking on this subject few days since, re
 marked that there WAS nothing Ill the position of the majority of the Senate judiciary Committee but a political Ihaneuvre. The Presi- dent stands on imprte enable legal grounds, continued he but the Re ' publican party is langnishln2 for
 sn issue. The eXpcdient of bully nE ani emharraS sing the Pre5I- dent, seems to ba the best it can
 do for the present.
