Indiana, and Illinois “ two por cent claim ” occupied an other day in tho Senate, but will probably como to a voto to-morrow. Senator Edmunds, in spite of himself, was compelled to allow tho report of tbo Judiciary Committee on tho origi nal bill, which passed tbo Houso, to bo mado to-day. Although this report is adverse, it gives tbo Senate the right to move for its sub stitute in place of tho bill already under discus sion. If thqrojs, .strength enough..to-sustain this os its ''friends confidently claim, then tho claim can be passed in such a etato that it will not have to go back to tho House. TUB ntPEAGEMEKT BESOLUTION. Fernando Wood was promptly in his seat at the meeting of tho House, at 11 o’clock this morning, and It soon bocamo known all over the floor that ho had prepared a resolution instruct ing tho Judiciary Committee to bring in articles of impeachment against Vico President Colfax, if the.facta should warrant such action. Ho hold the resolution in his hand for more than two hours before ho had an opportunity of offering it, and ho sat Tory patiently until tho long jour nal had been road through, and while other leg islation woo being disposed of, although bis .was a question of privilege, tho highest that a member possesses. After tho resolution had boon road, and, indeed, during its read ing, there was a good deal of excitement in the House, members consulting together hero and there in order to roach some agree ment as to concert of action. Mr. Tyner, of In diana, one of the ablest of tho Western mem bers, and the successor of Vice President Col fax, was quick upon his foot, and, remem bering a roroly-usoa rule, moved that tho reso lution be not considered. After a brief excite ment, the motion of Mr. Tyner, without debate (oa no remarks would be In order), was sub mitted to the House, and on it there was the largest vote that was oven given in the House. There wore 106 members in favor of con sidering tho resolution of Mr. Wood, and thoro were 109 against it,—a remarkably close vote. It woo at most a strictly party vote, tho Re publicans voting in favor of Tyner’s motion. The Republicans who voted with tho Democrats in favor of considering tho resolution wore: General Butler and Messrs. Farnsworth, Steven son, Beatty, A. 0. Smith, Porter, Boles, Morphia, and Goodrich. Not a single-Democrat voted with Mr. Tyner, and all those interested in Credit Mobilior voted with tho Republicans. There was scarcely the delay of an Instant before Tyner was again on his feet,this time with a res olution similar to that of Wood, but leav ng out tho name of Mr. Colfax, and saying instead that if any officer subject to tho impeachment of tho House should ho found to bo deserving it, tho Judiciary Committee sboold so report. This was passed without opposition, and thus the subject which seemed to promise a good deal of oxoitoment was laid aside without a ripple, and to-night it is scarcely mentioned* Of course the Judiciary Committee will not oon oidor iUo oubjeob, uur nrva It expected' they would. Wood Presented the resolution for buncombe, and the Bouse did what was neces sary without naming the Vico President. JUDGE SHERMAN. Tho Ways and Moans Committoo concluded to-day Its investigation of tho grave charges preferred against Judge Sherman, of Ohio. After giving the Judge every opportunity to ex plain his somewhat remarkable letters addressed to members of tho Now York Stock Exchange, tho Committoo lias deoidod to turn ovor to the Judiciary Committee of tho Houso all tho evi dence thoy have taken. As Judge Sherman at Kent holds tho position of United States Dls- Judge, it is expected tho Judiciary Com mittee will take action looking to his impeach ment. The evidence shows him to have boon guilty of an attempt at blackmail. While it was established that ho demanded money from tho Stock Exchange, it was shown that ho did not perform any service, and was not in Washing ton whoa tho legislation for tho success of which ho demanded a foe was enacted. Tho Committee did not ascertain that either Senator Sherman or Qariiold tras in any implicated with Judge Sherman. THE LOUISIANA REPORT. Barely since tho organization of the Govern ment has a Committee of Congress had to pass upon so grave a question as that involved in the Louisiana usurpation, reported on to-day by tho Senate Committoo on Privileges and Elections, and no document of equal importance to tho ro f>ort made by tho majority of aho Committoo has icon presented in tins Congress. As thoro woro four reports submitted this morning, it is im portant to know in wjiat tboy agree and ou what questions they differ. Tho Committoo is unani mous in Its condemnation of tho course pursued by Judge Uuroll. On this point Carpenter's report is particularly strong. Ho says that it Is at least questionable whether tho bill of Kel logg on its faco presented a case within tho Ju risdiction of tho Federal Courts. Although it is alleged iu tho former part of the hill that about 10, QUO persons had boon denied registration on account of race and color, and that from 0,000 to 6,000 of those thus deprived of registration woro denied tho right to vote, yet this wrong was com pleted at the time the bill was tiled, and it was not hi the power of tho Court to undo it. Iu CinCAGO, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1873. tho subsequent part of tho bill, tho t pleader appears to ignore tho fact of raco and color or ■ previous condition ’ of Borvltudo, oa on element of Jurisdiction. Tho report then continues; Again, it can hardly ) bo claimed (hot Kellogg had been deprived of I his ofllco of Governor at tho time tho bill was ] filed. Tho bill states, indeed. Kellogg’s appro- i tension that this Board would declare MoEuory i elected, and that such declaration would embar rass him in the enforcement of his legal right ] to tho ofilco. Conceding, however, that the mil ] did present a case within tho jurisdiction of tho j Court, that Jurisdiction was limited by tho scope of the blllj and gave no warrant to the extraor dinary proceedings which wore subsequently had i itx the case. Tho only legitimate purpose, of < this bill was to preserve. testimony, and tho i subsequent attempt of tho Court on a bill in i equity to determine tho title of "Warmoth and Wharton, and others, to act as State Canvassers, was a matter wholly beyond the Jurisdiction or i tho Federal Courts. The bill shows that War- . moth, Wharton, Hatch, and Dapouto claimed to bo members of tho Board and wore acting ns such, and alleges that they were not members of the Board, but that Lynch, Herron, Longstroot, < Hawkins, and Wunnoib wore tho legal members of sold Board. What jurisdiction had thoFodoral 1 Court to determine the right between those eon- i tending Boards ? They wore State officers, and it Is not alleged in tho Dili that any colored man was deprived of any right which had resulted in tho election of HaAKamfc Daponto; besides, 'the 'question/ -AT Tight to this -ofilco -was entirely Collateral lh tho proceedings. Wharton ana Longstroot might have contested their respective rights in tho State Courts, under the Intrusion not of that Btato, which oorro-' spends to proceedings by quo warranto at the com mon law ; but It was never before protended that such a question could bo settled by suit in equity. The utmost which the Court had authority upon this bill was to restrain the destruction of the returns and documents, to preserve which tho bill was filed. They wore Stale records, and I the Federal Court had no right to take possession I of them. Tho bill did not ask the Court Ito do so, but only to require copies Ito bo filed; but tho Court issued its swooping, and illegal, and void restraining order, which, hacked hy tho military, the United States Marshal executed. Of this order, the Committee say it is impossible to conceive of a more irregular, illegal, and in every way inexcusable act on tho part of a Judge. Conceding the power of the Court to make such an order, the Judge out of Court had no more authority to make it than had tlioTMar shal. It has not oven tho form of a judicial process. It was not sealed, nor was it signed by tbo Clerk, aud had no moro effect than au order issued by any private cltlfcon. . There had boon no amendment of tbo bill of complaint. The law of Nov. 20 had boon promulgated. < Tho Doforlot Board had boon appointed In protended pursuance thereof, whether, ; under tbo Constitution, tho Governor had tho. power, in tbo vacation of tho Legislature, to ap- . point that Board, upon the ground that tho act of Nov. 20 created the offices, and, therefore, vacancies in tho office, your Committee do not inquire, but it is understood that the Constitu tion has boon so construed in that State, and that Judge Dibble was appointed by the Gov ernor under similar circumstances. Tho Do foriot Board, therefore, hod color of official ex istence. Their canvass was completed, and tho result promulgated under color of tho State law, and it is clear that this gave the Federal Court no moro right to seize tho State House than to seize this Capitol. Tbo Marshal, on re ceiving tbls protended order, called for a detachment of United States troops to act os a posse comitaius, seized tho State House at 2 a. m. of Doo. G, ana hold it for weeks. Afterword on tho sumo day, Judge Duroll delivers au opini on in tho Kellogg cose, on tho application for injunctions pendente lite, and made an order granting the Injunction as prayed foe by the bill. After quoting Judge Duroll’s opinion, order, and injunction in full, the Committee con tinues : “It is somewhat remarkable that in this opinion tho Judge makes no allusion to tho fact that tho State House was then in possession cS Federal troops, under on order issued by him, aud of-the. Court _tho night .before.- Tho opinion materially misstates tbo allegation lof tho bill, and wholly . ignores. I tho faot that,'under tho act of NovT 20, the Gov ernor bad appointed a now Canvassing Board, which had in fact canvassed the votes, of all which ho was aware, because tho proclamation of tho Governor officially promulgating thoso facts woo embodied in tho order for seizing tho State House, mode by tho Judge tbo night be fore. Tha Judge also declares that about 4,000 affidavits sustain tho averments of tho bill. Your Committee have examined many of tho affidavits, and it is admitted that none of thorn contain tno statement that the right of registra tion or tho right of voting was denied on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. But in this opinion ho disposes of the act of Nov. 20 in a remarkable way. Ho scorns to I admit Its validity, but soems determined that it | shall not take effect at an inconveniently early date. He admits that it repealed all former elec tion laws and covered the whole subject of else- : tious, hut from this ho draws two singular con clusions : First, that, inasmuch as the act of Nov. 20 repealed all former election laws, all that had boon dono under such repealed laws was void; aud second, to avoid tills difficulty, which, ho says, at first startled him, that it was his duty to keep tho old laws in forco until the old Boards could have a reasonable opportunity to complete all tho business boforo them. ’ Further on, tho Committee skys: Viewed in any light in which your committee can consider them, the orders and injunction made and granted by Judge Darell in this case are most reprehensible, erroneous in {point of law, aud nro wholly void for want of Jurisdiction, aud your committee must- express their sorrow aud humiliation that a Judge of tho United States should have proceeded in such flagrant dis regard of his duty, and have so far overstepped tho limits of tho Federal jurisdiction. After the foregoing decision was made by Jndgo Duroll, Armstead filed a bill in tho District Court against tho members of tho Lynch Board, and obtained an injunction com manding them to make no canvass of tho No vember election, oxcept upon the returns of tho Lynch Board, and obtained an injunction commanding them to mako no canvass of tho Novomboroleotion,except upon tho returns made in pursuance of law. This injunction in no way conflicted with tho decision of Judge Durclf. For, conceding that tbo Lynch Board was, not withstanding tho repeal of tho law creating It, a valid Board, if cannot bo doubted that tho Courts of the Btato might restrain that Board from canvassing any hut tho legal returns of the elec tion. A writ of certiorari was issued by the Federal Court in this case, which was disre garded by the State Court. No subsequent pro couOiogs wore bad In "tbo Federal Court upon said writ, and tbo injunction remains in full forco. On tho Gth of Decem ber, 1872, tho Lynch Board fßoveo, who was thon acting as Secretary of State in place of Herron, Lynch, Lougatroot, and Haw kins) protended to have canvassed the returns of the election, and certified to tho Secretory of Stato that Kellogg bad been elected Governor; Antolno, Lieutenant Governor: Clinton, Audi tor; Field, Attorney General; Brown, Superin tendent of Education, aud Dcslondos, Secretary of Slate; and also certified a list of persons .whom they had determined to bo elected to tho Legislature. There is nothing in all tho comedy of blunders and frauds under consideration more indefensible than tho protended canvass of this Board. Tho following aro some of the objec tions to tho validity of their proceedings: I. Tho Board had boon abolished by tho act of Nov. 20. . 11. Tho Board was under valid aud exacting injunctions restraining it from acting at alt, and au injunction'll! tho Armstead case restraining it from mailing any canvass not based ou tho official returns of tho election. 111. Conceding tho Board was in existence, and had full authority to canvass tho returns, it had no returns to canvass. Tho returns from tho parishes had boon made under tho law of 11370 to tho Qovornor, and not ono of thorn was boforo tho Lynoh Board. Hix of tho Committee, all except Morton, ogreo also that tho proceedings of the State Court aro as illegal and void as those of Judgo Durell. This point is argued at considerable ;longth by tho majority, and tho conclusion arrived at la that tho protended Legislature, sot' up by tho power of tho military in acoordanoo-with tho void order of a United States District Judge, as its Ih’Ht act, impeached the Qovornor and sus pended him. It then abolished ono Court and not up another in Ua place, and Piuchbaok tip pointed Hawkins, ono of tho illegal Lynch Board, Judgo of Ir, and ho in turn decides tho Legislature to ho legal. Six of tho Committo aro also of opinion that if any Logitlnture is recognized, U must bo tho Moßnory Legislature. Tho majority think that tho election was so much tainted with fraud aa to mako a new ono xu'ceteai-y. Trumbull thinks tho Mcßuory Legislature should bo recognized, and Hill thinks that a now Legislature should bo formed of tboeo members who aro agreed upon by both pottles. Morton, constituting the minority, holds that Congress cannot go behind tho decision of tfio Supremo Court of tho State, sustaining Uio Kellogg Government, although Carpenter, m tho minority report, shows that its proceedings woro ns void as those of Judge Unroll. Those roporla ought to bo considered hy both Houses of Congress calmly and deliberately, and not disposed of in the hurry and oxoltomont of a night session of tho existing Congress. BOSI'ENDED RULES. To-morrpw, and during tho remainder of the session, tho rules of tho Houqo will bo suspend ed, which will facilitate business, while it will at tho same time open the door for tho passago of all sorts of questionable schemes. WILL TUEnE UB AN EXTBA SESSION ? There is a strong pressure on tho Democratic side of the House in favor of an oxtra session of tho Now Congress. Tho President, however, will not call thorn together except somo of tho important appropriation bills should fail. Tho members of the Appropriation Committee aro of opinion that there will bo amplo tlmo for tbo passage of all their hills. The fact that tho President is against an oxtra session, and that, if compelled to do so, ho will not call Congress together, until tbo warm weather will havo an important effect upon tho action of both Houses. TEE PACIFIC MAIL SUBSIDY. "'There promises'to bo a brief, though very lively investigation hero on tho subject of tho fmssago of what was believed to havo boon an tnmonso job through Congress last- winter known as tho Pnciilo Mall subsidy. Tho Ways and Moans Committee on tbo Judge Sherman lobby case. Logrand Lockwood testified that thoro was an impression in the Stock Exchange that legislation could ho bought boro with money, and gave, as an instance, tho report that a million dollars wore spent hero last winter to increase the subsidy to tho Pacific Mall 000 mil lion dollars for ton years instead of half n mil lion os heretofore. Tho service was increased from a monthly to a semi-monthly mail. Mr. Randall, to-day, offered a resolution on tho, strength of this information, directing the Ways and Moans Committee to mako tho necessary in vestigation, Tho books of tho Steamship Com pany will ho brought hero, when, it is expected, thoy will disclose whether such an immense sum was mysteriously disbursed last winter. TUB NEXT CONGRESS. A prominent Republican member of Congress from the South, and member of; the Porty-tbird Congress, iu conversation to-day with an official of tho House, declared in the emphatic man ner that tho notion that would probably bo taken next week by the House would have au important boating on the'coTQpOßllion of the Committees l of the noib Congress'; that Mr. Blaiue would bo' ..obliged to pledge himself not to appoint the Mo-: bilier men.’ especially' Dawes, Garfield;*-Kelley, and Scofield to any important Chairmanships. CINCINNATI POST; OFFICE. In the House, tb-doy, during tho discussion while In Oommlttbo of tho Whole, tho appro-, priation for purcbasing tbo site for tho Cincin nati Post Omco was increased from $500,000 to $750,000. •XHE AHBNITIES OF CONGRESSMEN. K Tory exciting sceno occurred In the Houbo. to-day, during tho couHideratlon of tho subject of public buildings. Farnsworth offered an amendment, providing that uouo of tho money Bhould bo spent for what is known aa tho “Vaux .roofing.” 110 denounced this as ft patent owned by Mullett and sold to Shepherd, and then need by Mullett on tho public build ings at immense profits. Ho said ho did nob expect tho granite rings and othor rings to favor his proposition. Ho looked at Mr. Piatt, of Vir ginia, and shook hia hand at him. As Platt is so fortunate as to havo an interest in a gramto quarry, ho inferred that Farnsworth referred to him. Ho ia ft very impulsive, fearless man, and with much excitement called Farnsworth a liar s and said ho was ready to answer for tho language. Ho then came down, and Farnsworth called him a damned Htllo fool, and there was apprehension Umt a pornoual collision would.-ensue. - Platt’s wonhr-'wercr'reporied.- and an effort made to ccnsuro him. but ho refused to retract thorn, It was-loughed off,‘after Faruaworth had do-, dared That Platt was too small for tho garment ho had made, but if ho thought it would, fit him to put it on. Tho controversy was finally closed by Mr. Tyner, who was in tho chair, appointing tho two gentlemen tellers to tako the voto on Farnsworth’s amendment. They wont in front of the Speaker’s desk, shook hands, and tho whole house broke into a roar. Tho amendment of Farnsworth was passed. [To the A ssoctated J*re»B.\ liECOME Jb. IAW. Washington, Fob. 20.—Tho President signed the bill providing for tho sulo of certain Indian lands in Kansas. LOUISIANA. Tho bill reported by Mr. Carpenter, from tho Special Committee on Louisiana Matters, de clares tho election in that State, hold on tho 4th of November last, to bo null and void, and re instates in office tho State officers and Legisla ture who hold position at that time. It further requires a now election to bo hold for State offi cers and members of tbo Legislature on tho second Tuesday of next May, and directs Wm. B. Woods, ‘Onited States Circuit Judge for Louisiana, to proceed to Louisiana and appoint two citizens of different politics to bo Stato Registrars, who shall cause a now regis tration to bo made of all le gally qualified voters of > tho State, comm'onclng March 18th, and ending ten days prior to the dato of oleotion. Tho State Regia trars are to appoint two Supervisors of Regis tration for each parish, except Jofforson and Or leans, for which a greater number are to be ap pointed; and in each parish tho Registrars nio to bo divided in politico; ’ Tho President is em powered to employ tlie military forcos’on appli cation of the Govoraorof the State or tho United States Circuit Judge, to carry out tho provisions of this act and enforce tbo Judicial process, and $200,000 is appropriated to defray tho expenses of registration and oleotion. Senator. Morton’s minority report on Louisiana affairs condemns Judge Dnreli’s order as & usur pation of authority, but regards tho decisions of the Supreme Court of Louisiana, affirming tho legality of tho Lynch Board, and recognizing tho Kellogg Legislature os an authoritative settle ment of tho dispute. Ho regards tho attempted organization of a now legislature irregular and without semblance of authority, and says .the Government of tho United, States cannot go be hind the action of tiio Legislature as to tho election and qualification of its mem bers, or behind tbo decision of tho Returning Board constitutionally .created by State law, as to who were elected State officers and members of tbo Legislature. Tho report deprecates re sort to tho powers vested in tho general Govern ment, except for tho gravest reasons. Local self-government must be preserved. The States should be left to work out their own rollof and reformation, so long as thcro is any hope. It declares that there is a Government in Louisiana in all outward aspects legal and normal, and there is nothing otherwise in the condition of that Stato to warrant interference, Tho con duct of Judge Diu'oll is reviewed, and severely censured, but it is claimed that that does not affect tho actual status of tho parties, and the logoi rights of tho Kellogg Government which has neon returned by tho Lynch Return ing Board, the latter having boon declared legal by the Supremo Court of tho State of Louisiana. A title which tho highest logoi tribunal has de clared to bo good is not impaired by unlawful interference, oven by violence in its support. Tho Kellogg Government is a fact, and its legality iu sustained by the judicial tribunal of the State, ond it is in active operation m all Its deportments without actual rculsioucoanywhoro. Tho HoEuoiy Government oxiuto only on puper, and all those claiming odloo under it have novor boon returned aa ©looted by any person having authority under tho him of Lomomnn. The majority report contends that tho validity of the Kellogg Government was not established bv tho Supreme Court of Louisiana, iho only nueation settled was, whothoiv Morgan or Ken- Sard was entitled to hold tho office of Associate Justice of the Supremo Court, in place of Howe, ruHirnod. Neither Warmoth nor Vmohbauk was a warty to tho causo, nor was any member of tiUlior Legislature, and tbo claim that either auestion was settled by tbo decision is too pre posterous for serious refutation. Tho utmost that can bo claimed for tho decision is that tho Court reorganized tho Kellogg Government as tho government do facto, which may bo con ceded, however it was established, Tho ques tion wo are considering is not a Judicial one, and no judicial Court can determine \t \ but it j« po litical m Us character, and so far us tho United Btatos has to do with it, must bo determined by the political department of tho Government. The majority thereupon report that no State Government la at present existing hr Louisiana, and neither Ray nor MoMilhm are entitled to a seat In the United States Senate. Tho report u signed by Carpenter, Logan, Anthony, and Al corn. Mr. TrnmhuU’o report says but for tho unwar ranted and Illegal interference tho MoEnory Government and Legislature would have boon peacefully inaugurated, and that there has boon no docisioh of tho Supremo Court declaring tho Kellogg Stato Government and Legislature legal In any case over which said Court had Jurisdic tion to mako such decision. Trumbull cannot believe that, because a United States Judge, supported by United States troops, by usurpation caused a Governor and Legis lature not elected by the people to bo installed in power, such usurpation authorizes Con gress to interfere and order a now election in a Stato whore there is in existence a Governor, other State officers, andLogisiature duly elected by tho people. All that is necessary in such a case is for tho Senate to recognize tho legitimate Legislature by admitting to bis seat In tho Sen ate tho person thoy have chosen to represent tho State, and forbid tho use of United States troops to carry into effect the void orders of an usurp ing Judge. Tho whole trouble in Louisiana has grown out of tho illegal interference of tho United Slates authorities, civil and military, with tho internal affairs of the Stato. Trumbull con tends that the Fusion State ticket was olootod, according to official returns by 10,000 majority, and that a largo majority of tho chosen mem bers of tho Legislature were of tbo same party, and says tho history of tho world does not furnish a more palpable instance of usurpation than that by which I’Jnohbftclt was made Governor, and the persons returned by tho Lynch Board the Legis lature of Louisiana* nor can a parallel bo found for tho unfeeling and despotic answers sent by order of tho President, to tho respectful appeals of tho people of Louisiana.* Trumbull then ar gues that McMullau was legally chosen United States Senator, and that, by his admission to a . seat, and tho recognition of tho MoEnory Legis lature as tho legitimate Legislature of tho Stato, tho ponce of Louisiana will be speedily restored, and effect given to tho fairly-oxproasod will of tho pooplo.

' JUDGE WILSON 8 REPORT, non. Jeremiah M. Wileoathiu afternoon made a report in part relative - to the affairs of the Union Pacific Railroad Company, Credit Ho biiior, and other matters specified in tho reeolu tion of tho House. The report enters elaborately into tho history of tho Union Pacific Railroad, and shows that tho act lucor rorutlna it was not passed to further the personal inter ests of tho corporators, nor for the convenience of the nreat public atone, hut lu addition to theso interests the present and future of tho Government os such, wore to bo subserved. Thu Committee also give the history of the Credit MoblUoriu connection with tho Union Pacific Railroad, based on tho testimony al ready made public, lu speaking of the lloxlo Act, tho Committee uay tho Interests of the Union Paoiflo Rail road Company wero utterly disregarded. The Com mittee do not doubt that it was deliberately done. They draw tho conclusion, speaking in round num bers, from fuota ascertained, that the cost of tho road was $50,000,000, which was. wholly reimbursed from ihe proceeds of Government bonds uud first mortgage bonds, and that from tho income bonds and laud grant bunds, tho builders re ceived lu cash value at least $'13,000,000 as profit, being a percentage of about dB pur cout on the entire cost of tho road. Thu Committee show tho dilTurout amounts received by the various parties and say: “If It was impossible to build tho road according to the act of Congress, they had no right to build it. They could easily have represented .their dlfllcully to. Congress, which has dealt gonerodsiy with them from the be ginning. It may bo that all tho existing stockholders ■hared theso profits, oo that what was In the form of a contract was in substance a dividend, but nothing Is hotter settled than that the railroad corporation has no right cither as against creditors or tho minority of Us stockholders to distribute any portion of its capital os dividends, aud that a Court of Equity wfii Interfere to NUMBER 186. prevent If. There can bo still lens JusHflcatlon for tiding tbo proceeds of money borrowed either of tho Government, or on first mortgage bonds, for tho pur* pone of dividends. * Tho Committee do not conceive It to bo their duty to express or to form opinion no to tho degree of moral blatno that attaches to persona engaged in thcao trend* actions, except so far ns may rightfully affect tho oxer* olso of tho discretion of Congress In dealing with their franchise. Congress. cannot accept tho general Inten tions of persons combined aa an oxcuao for tho deliber ate violation of Us taws, If It expects thorn to ho obeyed or respected hereafter; hut wo do not, they say, llko to otoso our narrative of this ease, and pronounco judgment ■ upon these transactions without ob serving that there are many persons connected with tho Credit MohlUur, who bold their stock openly and without concealment from (bo beginning, and who scorn to have bad no aharo In its management, and no knowledge of tbo wrongful uso ol ils stock, or funds of the railroad.' Borao of these persons are of eminent character, holding high public positions, and it Is dlffl cult to boliovo that they had any consciousness that they wore doing wrong, or saw tho slato of proceeding In the light which tbo Committee now state it. After some further remarks, tho Committee say tbo division of tho substance of tho corporation had so weakened It ns to make Its control by capitalists, and Soworful railroad corporations, in tho manner above escribed, easy. It Is now helpless and dependent. In making investigation tho Committee say they have labored under groat disadvantages. Hooks con taining tbo records of these transactions are volumi nous and complicated. Tho estimates of tho engineers, made before tbo lotting ol tho various con tracts, cannot bo found. Tho presence os witness of General Granville, -Mr,-Dodge, Chief Engineer, under whoso supervision tho principal part oflhework was done, could* not bO .procured, although efforts were made to that end. Mr. John “Curtis, who was Treasurer of tho Union Pacific Railroad Company, was unablo to attend by reason of illness;. .Governor John A. Dlx, who.waa Proaldcufof the Union Pacific Railroad Company, conld not ho present by reason of his Executive duties as Governor oMho Btato of Now York. Many of tho incidents in those transactions have not been investigated as thoroughly as maybe desired, for want of time. It In proper to etato that nothing has been disclosed in tho evidence indicating auy misappropriation of tho moneys of tho Company by tho present manage ment of the Union Pacific Railroad. Tho Committee think tho facts shown would furnish ground for judg ment of forfeiture of nil tho franchises of the corpora tion, hut It would bo harsh and unjust to forfeit the right of tho present stockholders, a large majority of whom have bought this stock la good faith in tho market, for tho wrongdoing of their predecessors, Tho report concludes as follows: “Wo have tho case of a corporation, which Is trustee, In tho management of persons who havo divided tho trust fund among themselves: who have promlfled pay .foit Jtscapital stock in cash, which promise they haVonot kopt, Blid ' on which they ore still liable, and which the corpora-T tion neglects to enforce, and . who ,'haVoT made contracts with themselves In- reference ' to trust funds, tho profits on which contracts they ought in equity to account for to tho trust fund. Upon tho most simple principle of equity, suit can be maintained by any catuy quo trust to compel 'the col* lection of these assets, and that tho trustee shall hold them hereafter as part of tho trust property. It trill bo no answer to this statement to say that the ultimate security of the United Blates has not been Impaired, This is far from being true, and In fact, if it woro true,-' tho United States has a right to havo tho security which', they stipulated for, oven if it bo more than is necessa ry. If wo are wrong In this opinion, there is n6 rem edy except by resorting to tho extreme' power of re pealing tno act. Those questions are Judicial ques tions. As wo have said, wo propose a simple method of raising and determining them in one suit, of secur ing so far as we can administration of tho fund accord ing to low in iho future. The Committee then find that there aro persons con nected with tho Credit Mobilior holding such bonds as are contemplated by tho order of tho Houso. They are not holders of the same In good faith and par value, but did procure the same illegally. Wo do not recom mend that tho United Slates refuse to-pay these bonds,. or their interest, without first ascertaining tho facta. Wo think that so many persons bold first mortgage bonds of the Union Pacific Railroad in good faith and par value that said mortgage ought not to ho sot aside. Wo report the facts as to tho character of the oraani--- tlon known as the Credit Mnb«iu—: . . .
