The senate Uridit Mobilier commlltco
lo-day received coplei of the tcillmony
taken by Poland') committee, and expect
to meet to-morrow.
OAKES AMEl.
Tho announcement that Amci would bo
on tho witneit stand to-day and produce
the eclubratod memorandum buuk, csUKil
a very largo audiencu tg anemblo at thu
Credit Mubilier committee room. Amci,
in rctponvo to n 'ucstion, laid he bad tho
original book, but ai he wai informed that
Colfax would. attempt to impeach hit teltt
mony ho wnl advised by hit couuiel tlmt
hu oui:ht not to produco th Look until
Colfax's cvtdenco svat all in.
Judge Poland said the committee wire
of opinion that the book must be produced
before they proceeded further with tho in
vestigation.
Amci'taid tho book was in the bands of
hit countul, ilornce F. Clark, at the
Arlington hotel, but ho would send for ltf
which he proceeded to.
Half an hour 'later Clark appeared ls
counsel for Ames, and made a ipeecb
a-jainit being compelled to produce thu
book before tbo comiuiltoo, Lut tho com
mittee over-ruled him, and the examina
tion was proceeded with.
The book showed that various mcmberi
bad been paid tbe tuioi set oppotltu their
names, at WsllUed by Amei. The only
entry wnt one undtr date of January
180'J, of having paid to Colfax $G7 75 for
interest on 1,600 worth of Union Pacitlc
railroad certilicatet, standing in hit name.
In reply to a question Ames laid ho had
bxeu unablu to llud any receipt! for money
paid to Colfax, although ho had searched
diligently. It appeared from tbe book
that Patterson paid him in August, 1SG7,
instead of December, at tcstltled to by
Ames,
"Witncst read entries of Patterson, cop
ies of which, and receipt;, wrio beforu tho
committee a few davs since. Ho next ex
hibited a statement in the case of llin
hatn, which ngreol with tho flgurct sub
mlttul by that gentleman. Ho had no
settlement with Uartleld or Kellur. He
read the entrloi in their caiet, and testified
that ho paid ouch of thorn $320. Tho book
hu no roferenco to Speaker Ulalne.
Question: "Have you any nioro entrieC
Answer: "No nr."
Question: "You lielievo wo have now
seen all tho onirics on tho book, in refer-
onco to nny of theta gentlemen?"
Atuwcr. "Yesiir."
In reply to Niblack: "Had not found
roceiptt from any of thoio gentlemen of
any importance"
Amet was then put through a long una
sovoro cross-examination uy uuugo
II tie, at to how copies wcro maJo out, but
wltnesi toititlcJ tlioy woro not copies of
original entries, but muilo up of various
entries.
"Wllnots further toitlficd that ho did
not remember having got any receipt
from Colfax, and never said to to any
porion ; remembered that ho gavo to Col
fax a check for $1,200 whon ho tnado hit
itatoment In December to that effect; he
could not remcinbor If ho had paid Col-
fix any dividend; ho had not teen the
memorandum, and hit memory wat not
refreshed.
Question : " Did you mean to tell a lie,
or tho truth?"
Ames : " I won't answer."
Quostlon: " It it important in expla
nation. It is hit former testimony."
Witness said ho desired to make it ns
oasy ns he could for all tlaio men, nnd
proved methods of application. ho probably had erred on their bido, but
in nil cases of tcmale complaints a lady ' . , . , ,

After much bnrtcing of words between
Clark, as counsel for Amos, and Halo, as
oountol for Col I ax, Judgo Poland an
nounced that unless this was stopped tho
committco will lie compelled to dismiss
both of them.
Witness was poiltivo ho either, gavo or
showed Colfax a statement, showing a
l..lanrt ilim al1 n ml 1 1 r. f "V- 1 f .. ra 1 1 n
fi!awtto check for tho balance. It is not probable
that ho would huvo given mo n check for
$531 unless ho know what it whs for; ho
is not so glvoo.as that. Laughter, Col
fax never notified witness that ho would

fidavit of Gen. Dorrls, in vindication of his
conduct in tbe senatorial contest. The
paper was in'substauce that ho was absent
and dil not know ho was wanted. Tho
statement made by Pope and Morgan, two
members of tho bouse, concerning tho ap
proach with intent to bribe, was in the
main correct. Ho had offered to loan
them mency for tho purpoie of finding out
Phelps' lino of operation, io had
been reported as having $10,000
to uto in securing bis election. To Wil
son and Kdent ho had loaned money for
their intlueuce. Did not expect to be
nominated unlets there cumo a dead-lock.
In no repect was ho working in tho in
terest of ;Mr. Uogy, or in uny.way connect
ed with liis success. He was working for
himself, and no ono olse. Ho had spent
about 3,500 in this work, llo bad not
loaned or given any member ono dollar.
Mr. Hoadlee, the Republican mcmbor of
tho invettlgatlng committco, offered a
resolution naklng that tli.i committee's re
port bo rccoinitted und Gen. Dorris sum
moned beforo the committee, which was
lost by a small majority.
A resolution was otl'ered denouncing the
afildavjt of D.irris us unworthy of confi
dence, and wrongly ensting reflections
upon two membors of the house, which
was amonded to tho effect that the state
ment being cx parte, tho testimony should
not appear as nviilenco or go upon record,
which was accepted, and tbo resolution

so it will not exclude thoso country weekly
papers having n portion of their editions
printed in largo letter.
Mr. yarnsworlh explained tho bill nt
length ns to tho prepayment of newspaper
postage, and made tho following state
ment: Poalago revenues last year were,
letters $10,3" 1,000; newspapers and
periodical.", $035,010. So tho revenue for
letters was twenty times as great ns that
for newspapers, while newspaper malls
wero twenty timet tho weight and bulk of
lettors. In 18T0 thero wero in round
numbers printed, of daily papers, in the
year, eight hundred million copies, or nn
average of over two nnd a half millions a
day; of wcctly papers, six hundred mil
lion copies, or an nvorngo ol ovor elevon
and a half millions a week ; of monthly
periodicals, ono hundred million
copies, or an nvcrngo of ovor
eight nnd a third millions a month.
TWa" Jowe-rt;rto oT pottage on' these pub
lications was $1 SO a yoar. On weeklies
'JO cents, and on monthlies 12 cents. He
thought It not too rno'.h to say that 10 per
cont. of tbo dallies, and 80 per cent, of tho
wocklies and monthlies passed through tho
mails. If that were to and tho postago
had been collected on it, it should havo
yielded n Utal of $2,953,015, whilo the ac
tual receipts from those sources wero only
$035,010. It was theroforo manifested
t'jat but n small part of the post
ago nn that which constituted tho great
bulk of weight of mails was never received
by the department.
Mr. Roberis of Now York moved to
amend the bill making postago on daily
newspapers not exccodini: four ouncos in
weight 15a por quartor. After discussion
the amendment was agreed to..
Amondmonts wcro offered by Mctirt-
Gtrfiold and llibbard in respect to maga

wero agreed to and the bill then patted.
Tho speaker presented a petition from

HATS AND lltiNKCTS.
In this important part of the street
outfit very littlo cliango in" shapes has
neon maua slnco tho opening ot tbo
season ; but a moro novel and even eccen
tric intermingling ol shades is now pro
vailing. One of these freaks of fashion
is a mixture of deep plum color and
muzarino blue, in velvet and silk royal,
anu irimmeu witn garlands and coronets
of tlowers nestled down with soft laces and
ostrich feathers. Watered ribbons, which
wero so much worn tbe tint of the teaton,

shades lighter. The foathor ure In form
of a coronet, with a drooping willow
plume falling over loops of soft-finished
ribbon. French bluo and Indian sky aro
tuiiuea mucn worn togetner, and It a most
artistic bienuinir ol snaucs.
Tho Michael Angclo bonnet Is a great
fovorite, and is exceedingly stylish when
composed of velvet in dark and
light ;)iim tints, with loops and ends of rib
bon of samo shade, and a coronet of jiaou
tinted laurel leaves.
An approved and much-adopted stvle
of hat is the Henry III. This is usually
composed of black velvet, with white split
ottricn leatners over tue tun ot tue crown.
and from this Is appended a graceful wil
low pitimo lulling noarly to the shoulders
OI'KHA CLOAKS.

woolen bullion frlngo.
A new stylo of carriage clonk in white
lambskin cloth is trimmed with folds and
bands of flno grain velvet, of which two

Ingenious people have collected the

not mip
particular weakness. Good men whn
djing may often giro utterance to tbe
keynote of their lives, but with a homi
cide we think it a nice psychological
point that hia keynote can best be taken
ut or about tbe lime he takes a life not
his own. Wo do not propose going back
to the time, about twenty year ago, of
the murder of Bill Poole bv Faudhn

These, we imagine, should uffice for
examples. Thoy aro barely ono in six
among tho slaughter of the past tbree
years; but thoro is much material for
thought in thcso phrases that in each caso
aro Indentified with a scene of vlolonco,
blood and death. There Is no
necessity for us supple
menting these ejaculations with the storie
of tho murders themselves. Tbe effect
can be as simply and accurately reached
by ulways bearing in mind that close to
the time of utterance of these phrases, by
night or by day, there could be found a
lllelcs form, a white face with a horrified
look, a pair of (tony staring eyes and ono
or mora gaping wounds, with blood all
ciottod around tneir moutb.
THE HOOSAO TUNNEL.
For eighteen year past, from time to
time, notices concerning tbe progress of
work on tho Hoosac Tunnel have been the
rounds of tho press, and thousands of
readers havo nover known where tbe tun
nel is located. Hoosac Mountain is In
Uorkshiro county, Massachusetts, and is
an obstruction to transportation between
tno vaney oi inn Connecticut and Hud
son rivers. Tho tunnel is for a railroad
and will be four and one half miles in
lungth when completod. Work wat com
menced on the tunnol in 1855, by
tho Troy and Greenfield Railroad Co.,
aided by the date of Massachusetts, and
was carried on by contract. Several con
tractors worked on tho tunnel until they
tailed, so intervals occurred when no pro
gress was mado. The present contractor,
aided by modern inventions, such a dia
mond drills, nitro-glycerlne, etc., has
been successful in working from the east
nnd west (Bit of the tunnel, and east and
eatt and west from the abaft about tho
center of tho line, and tbe "great bore" has
been again brought prominently before tbe
public from tho fact that on Thursday,
Docembor 12, the parties working
from the east ond and from
tho central shaft toward the
East healing effected a junction about
I COO feet under ground, and opened a hot
largo enough for men to pas through.
Tho distance excavated from the But end
to tho cuntral shaft it 3,168 feet more than
two mile. West of tbe (baft, a little over
half a mile of excavation is yet to be
made to complete the tunnel. It i ex
pected by tbe contractor tbat tbe great
work will be completed by November,
18T3, and tbe tunnel opeaed for burin.
When completed, the lloosao will be the
loo aett tunnel in the United State, and
