WASHINGTON. ?ROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. Wishinutu.n, June 2, 1876. iN EXCITING SCENE ANTICIPATED IN THE HOUSE?POSSIBLE AJtBAIUNMENT OF MB. BLAINE FOB CONTEMPT IN NOT PBODCCING "THE PBIVATE LETTEBS." There is u possibility of an uucouiuiou scene In the louse ol Representative* in connection with Hie Blaine ctters. Mr. Blaine took the ground to-day belore the committee the I they wore his letters and that he had ihe right to roiuse theui to tho committee. Ho did so 'cfuse, though he added that be would Invite the chair nan of tho committee, Mr. lluiiton, a democrat, to tome to his house as a private individual, but tot as a member of the committee, and read thein. The committee inclino to the view, however, that they have a right lo require him to produce them, and that if ho refuses they may bring him belore the House lor contempt. The examination has proceeded betoru a sub-committee ol the Judiciary Committee, and a meeting ol tile lull counnitlen ig called lor to morrow morning at half post nine o'clock to daleruune the question whether they shall, in cuso Mr. Blaine re luses a lurthcr demand, declare him in contempt and bring him ;o the bur of the House, if they should de cide lo do this, it is understood that they will proccod i t once to-morrow 10 summon Mr. ltlaino, and il he refuses to produce the letters report tho matter to the House immediately for its action. A TEBB1BLE BLOW AT TUB CBABC1E OP HA EN El' AGAINST SPEAKKB KEBB. The testimony of Mr. Strouso In the case of Speaker Kerr to day put a new light on the case, and there is vol other testimony to corae which will break down tho whole charge. Mri> Kerr's friends mean lo keep the defence private, so far as tliry can, until the prosecu tion havo entirely doce, when they will proceed. THE WAB ON THE RESUMPTION ACT ?ATTITUDE OP SUNSET COX INTIMATION OP A MOVE MENT TO STBBNOTBEN THE INFLATIONISTS. There is sumo excitement among tho democrats sbout the attitude of Mr. Cox, ciiauinan ol the Hank ing and Currency Committee toward the Kosump'ion ?cL Ho is understood by many of bis Irionds to be willing to report a nill lor the unconditional repeal of the act. The lost democratic caucus required the Com. iiiiltee on Rules to report a rule allowlug the Hauking and Currency comniitloe to re|>ort at any time, and tho avowed object ol tins was to cnablo the committee to report a repealing bill. So far, the Committee on Rules has not had a quorum and has not, therefore, acted, and tho Hanking and Currency Committee has not yet agreed upon any measure con cerning the Resumption act. Tho vote of the House to repeal would have no practical oiled, as the Senate would not concur, but it would doubtless strengthen the Inflationist* in the West, and is considered here as a movement in the interest of Mr, Hendricks, or, as somo malicious people say, of u ticket composed ol Hendricks and Cox. II any movement is made toward repeal it is probable that a demand will bo made to have the Resumption act read to tho Uouso by the clerk twice a week for two weeks before a vote Is tnkeu upon it, ns it is suspecleu that but a small minority ol the members havo ever taken the trouble to read or study it. Tho asual argument against it is that you can't resume in 1879, which Is not true. FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. Washington, June 2, 1876. ? HE BLAINE KANSAS rACIFIO BOND SCANDAL?

Another of these witnesses, Mr. J. I*. Upshur, who was attorney ol the Kansas 1'acifio road in the suits, and is now con nected with tho road, will arrive to morrow, having in his possession the original of the letter which has been widely printed of late Irom Joseph Stewart to John I> Perry, tho President ot the Kansas Pacitic road, in which it was stated that he, Stewart, was still tinder obligation, to deliver construction bonds to Thomas King, Jr . James Blame, C. D. Sherman and other par ties. Mr. I ? reon has in his possession a schedule of all claims against the road He says that in the original of the Stewart letter, wuicli he has seen and with which lie is familiar, the blank lelt bslnre the name "Blame" in the transcript sent up Irom the Kansas court to the Supreme Court here was Oiled with the name of "James" and not "John. " He also says that it was the understanding before tho Court, aud in the argument of the case, that it was James Blulnc and not John lilalne who was the party to these transac tions.

THE NAVAL INVESTIGATION. OOUltSE or SECRET A lit KOI; KHUN AS DESCRIBED BT THE CHIEFS OF Bl"REACH -NO INTKRFEIi* ENCE WITH Til i*. DISCllAltOE OF THK.IK DUTIES. Washington. June 2, 187A Rear Admiral C. B. P. Hodgers testiOed before the House Committee on Naval Adairs to-day that be was chief of the Bureau of Yards and Ii < ks Irorn Septem ber, 1871, lo September, ls74, and is now Superintend ent ol the Naval Academy. While witness was chief of the Bureau Secretary Robeson never Interfered in any vay or manucr with itie making of any contract or the flsiug ol any price, nor did the Secretary c*er interfere wi:h his action in regard to any existing contract, ex Copt in one instance. This w.is when he, a* Chief of tho Bureau, proposed lo annul the contract of 8. P. Brown, of Washington, to Itimiih granite lor a ?:rjr dock at the Mare Island Navy Yard, on me ground that lirown had failed lo comply with its term.? and had no means of doing so. Brown, how ever. Ihen brought to the department evidence proving that he and Ins son hail purchased a quarry, and that he had built the dry dock at New Y'oik, aud insisted that ho would lurnish the granite in t.me to tie us'd, ulid at a price about hall as ureal as the department would probably have to pny In case new prop.i-a!? were invited. Secretary Hohoson informed Admiral Hodgers thai he was averse lo losing the chance ?t get the granite so cheaply, aud as it was not needed immedi ately, Browa should be given further opportunity to turni.-b it. tho Admiral had grave iiouot* as to Brown's ability to lulftl his pruin.se*, but ha be lie veil thai, under iho ciicuBuuncen, IheSecretary could noi well do Otherwise. The wtines- in response to a question Irom Chsir man VthiiMior'ne. said ho did not remember seeing a telegram from Senrlor Sargent uateU San Krancisco. June 17. 18.a, slating that Brown was not engaged in Ibc t>ni w?i frying to iwy out f*lD?r contractor!, lo "gouge" the government, and that one ttriffin wm the lowest honest bidder. He lelt obl>i,od to sward the contract to Rrown a* the lowest bidder under the department advertiaemeni, although tic did not hclievo lirowa would fulfil it. Subsequent eveuts Justified hi* judgment, and ttie government bad to par a price tv? Ice at high a* Brown's bid. At tbo time liu proponed to auuul the contract, however, Mr. Gritlin deemed to furnish tbe granite at lo?s thau the price subsequently paid. lu reply to a question put by Secretary Robeson witness suied that Kobeson had never directed him, suggested or hinted to bun to favor anyone, and had never interfered in any manner as to prices or the pur chase of supplies lor the Itureau ot Yards and Hocks or lor tbe Naval Academy. Witness knew nothing ah.nit any trausler of $75,000 from bis bureau to pay the Huuicrlord claim, nor about au order to the pay master at I'enaacola to draw a draft for $5,000 so as to prevent an appropriation from lapamg into the Treas ury. lu reply to the question of tbe Chairman whether ho had not assumed unauthorized power in hi* manage ment of bis bureau and violutedthe law wblch re quires all naval appropriations to be expended under she direction ol tne Secretary ot tbo Nuvy, Admiral Rodgcrs saiu ho did not ilnnk' so, ami explained that except in regard to matters outside of the usual routine It was uot necessary or customary to receive special orders from the Secretary. Admiral Howell, who succeeded him as Chief of this Bureau, gave testimony to tbe sxuic purport as to his freedom from any attempted tavoring lulluenco or lntcrlerepce In contracts, &c., on the part ot Secretary Robeson. Surgeon General James C. Palmer, Chief of the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, also teslided that Secretary Robeson lias never interfered in regard to persons or prices in his bureau. Chiol Kugineer William H. Shock, who has acted ns Chief ot Itnreau ol Steam Engineering at intervals dur ing V- Robeson's adrullilsti auou, next examined. He lostilied that the secretary uever suggested per sons or prices to linn or dictated nny contract made by him except the contract with John Koach k Sons, ol New York, lor the machinery ot tbe Tennes see This contract was, however, recommended by him (Shock) as being for tbe interest ot tno govern* menu and il had turned out well. Tins witness uad gone to the Mediterranean 011 tho Tennessee, mid her machinery was a great success. She was steaming at last accounts thirteen and one-hall knots |rt hour, and beating everything in those waters. No adve< ttsomeni was published ami no proposals invited lor ibis contract. It was made on a private oiler and Ins favorable report thereon. Tho witness was examined at considerable length concerning certain departures from the contract specifications that were allowed, and especially in re gard to the diminished space provided lor coal bunkers. He tcslilied iliut these changes were sauctioued by a board consisting ot the C'hlel of the Bureau ol Con struction. the i htet ol the Bureau of Steam Kugineer tng and tbe Naval Constructor in charge, and that they were lor the interests ol the service. Ho slated that the contract was to produce certain results as to speed, consumption of coal, &c., snd thai theso results were f-atisiactorlly obtained. Tbo ship bad douo Her work with less coal consumption than was coitlcmplatod by the contract. He could not state how much the contractors had snved by tbe changes ol plan, but he believed it was not much. They wero paid the mil contract price. Commodore William M. Jellers, Chief ol the Bureau of Ordnance, testified that Secretary ltobeson bud never dictated, suggested or Innied to hitu to favor any person, nnd had, in (act, murlerred less lu the man agement of the Bureau than any Secretary he bad ever known. The Secretary hud been kept mliy posted as to its general operations,_ but be (Jellers) bad con trolled all routine matter. 'The Secretary had once directed him to pay a certain bill. He (Jellers) made ono contract with Noimuu Wiurd (i very plausible person who hud captured the Admiral ol the Nuvy nnd the two naval committees of Congress! lor som'o ordnance experiments. Ho liiinseli did not believo in \Vlard's theories, but in view ol Wlard's large follow ing lie thought It wise to give him this contract in order to demonstrate tho fallaciousness, believing if this were not done greater amounts would be expended thereafter and tho safety of the navy perhaps endangered. lu reply to a question by Secretary Hobeson witness said that*!lie ultimate success was usually the result of tnuny (allures, and stated that it costs $50,000 to sub ject a fifteen inch gun to the extreme test ot Iracture. In response to the Chairman wttm ss explained that some remarks of bis dorogu^y to Mr. Wlard wero stricken out by Secretary Hobeson, not from his ofllcial bureau report, but from a skotch of its operations, c., which he furnished to tbo Secretary for use In tho tat ter's annual report. George K. Cutler, purchasing paymaster at Now York, and A. \\. Russell, purchasing paymaster at l'hiladelphln, testified that Secretary Hobeson has never attempted in any way whatever to influence tho respective purchases made by them in open market, and has never otherwise attempted to favor any person through them.

The furniture, hangings aud ornaments of this i room are all Chinese and the largo lamp in the centre or the room is a real work of art. Ono of tlio most interesting features of tho Bijou heron benefit at Booth's Thoalre was the impersona tion ol Creusa, in "Medea," by Miss Constance Lci^'h, a young actross of markod ability.
