Special Deapalch to The Chicago Tridune. WASHINGTOS, Jan. 12.—It appoars to bo under- stood that the clection of John J. Patterson as Senator from South Carolina will beinvestigated by the Senate fbefore he is allowed to take his eeat. The charge that he was elected through bribery and corruption has become so general, that the Senators are of the opinion that the Committee on Privileges and Elections should look into the metter. Among the .most prominent and epecific of all his accueers is the ‘Hon. Robert B. Elliott, colored member of the House from South Carolina, who was himeelf a candidate before the Legielaturo for United States Senator. It is understood that as goon as Patterson's credentials are prosented, they will bo referred to the Committes on Privileges end Elections. So much has been eaid recentl, of the manrer in which Senators have raceiver their clgctions, that the members of the Senate are disposed to have a thorough investigation. IRON SHIP-DUILDING. The question of the construction of iron ship- building yards, which has been befora the Senate Naval Committes for the last two years, is to be rovived at this gession. The Chainman of the Committee, Senator Cragin, has made a thoronghx investigation of the subject, and it is understood that he has prepared a speech which ho will de- liver at an early day. In this speech he will show the necessity for these yards, and point ont wherein they can bo made beneficial to the Government, e Seccretary of the Navy has already made a report to Congress .in favor of the measure, Which ia now before the Senate Coremittes on Naval Affairs. INAUGURATION DAY. The citizens of the District of Columbia are making preparations for the customary ceremo- nies connected with the inauguration 0f Presi- dent Grant for his next term. At the meeting of the General Commiitee held yesterday, Mr. Mullett presented dp]ln of the building sug- ested to be eracted in Judiciary square, 400 ect in lengthand 120 foet width, covering 6,000 foot of ground, snd capsble of holding 6,0%01701’- sons, with ample arrangements for cook-room, vestibule and all other purposes. This is to be used for the purpose of a ball-room. It is calculated that this will cost $150,- 000, and tho question is being discusacd, whethor this will be paid cut of the District Treasury or by private subscription. If it is to be paid by the District Government, it will be necessary to bold an extra meeting of the Legislature. THE COURT OF CLATMS. ‘The propositiou of Representative Smith, of New York, that no part of the appropriation of the 400,000 inténded for the payment of the ju_nismen‘q o the Court of Claims shall be ap- plie to judgment for the proceceds of captured or abandoned _ property seized ‘before the 30th of June, 1863, and that no such jndgments shall be paid, excopt under s special Sppropristion of Congress, was defeated by a larga majority in the House yesterdsy. The re- sultis belioved to show o decisive majority in the House in favor of an equitable adjustment of all claims hold in the South against the Gov- ernment, and_may be accepted a8 an indication that several of the prominent measures for that section will receive favorable consideration. FINANCIAL. The Senato Finance Committee, st its session yesterday, had under copsideration Sen- ator Beott's resolution of inquiry s to whether, under the existing laws, the Becrotary of the Treasury was empowered to incresse the cur- rency to four hundred millions of dollars. The decided opinion of tho Committco was adverse to this right, and a bill to that effect will bo re- ported at an early day. The effect of this action will be to require the Tnuu;a‘ Department to withdraw the two millions and a half of cur- rency, which was issued last fall, under the bo- lief that the Becretary had the power to increase the currency forty-four millions. A BELLICOSE SERATOR. Zach, Chandler hasnow, been on the war-path for two days. Ho has visited this offico scvoral times in that brief period, armed with 2 heavy walking stick, in scarch of the correspondent who had the temerity to write for the public print his encounter with Harrigan, of Indians, several years ogo. He tlreatens vengoance wherever he mests tho correspondent aforesaid, evon to the extent of a quict funeral. PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS. Almost every man in Col:iglaas appears to bave ‘became suddenly convinced that there ought to be o change in the method of clecting the President and Vice President. Tho' death of Mr. Greeley before the mecting of the Electoral Colleges, snd the ‘contested voto of Arkansas and Louisit havoe set our statesmen 2t work, atfldfinf{tha constitutional mode of making the Chief Magistrate and his possible euccessor, and with almost one sccord they sppear to have reached the conclusion that it 18 of all Su'gs of the Government machine the most illy ovised and the most likely to get out of order. Two substitutes are proposed. The firstis to elect tho President by a vote of tho whole poo- ple, the candidate baving s majority of the en- tire popular vote to bo declared chosen, and if no candidato has & majority, then the Houso of Reprosentatives is to chcose one of the iwo hav- ing the highest number of votes. the second plan proposca to abolish the Elcc- torial College systom, and_permit the oeople to vote directiy for the candidates, but at the sama time to count the vote of each Stato as a unit, and givo it tho samo rolative strength toward electing a. President e8 it now has. This it is proposed to sccomplish by _providing thai the Governor of cach State shall certify to Congrces the names of the candidates who receive the highest number of votes for President and Vice President, and that in determining the result of the vote each State shall count just the same a8 it row does throngh the medinm of its Electoral College. The two Housos would meet in February to canvass the returns, as under tho preeent sys- tem, but these returns, instead of Tre- ports of the meetings of the Electors st the seve State Capitols and their ~votes, would be efmplo certificstes showing for whom each Btate had voted. The essential fea-, ture of the old system would not be changod by tois plan, but only implificd. The President wrould still bo chosen by the Statos and not by the people. It is on this account that tho plan is preferred by many who do not want to 'see B0 radi a change in the Oonstitntion a8 sn election by a direct gflmhx vote would be. ey insist 4 the relative power of the States as political entities shall not be disturbed. On_the other the advocates of a direct vote declare that this is one of the results they want to accom- plish. They believe that the Presidont ehounld lation, and a majority of the pol.tical power of tho States in Cug:gr:ayu. 5 ¥ THE CALDWELL INVESTIGATION. . _ The Seuate Committee on Privileges and Elec- tions, after debating the appointmeat of Com- mittees to go to Louisiana and Arkaness for more than two hours yesterday, threw open its doors, and resumed the Caldwell investization. No one who Las attended the sittings of Lis Committeo during the two days of this investigation can have failed to fotito a marked contrest bitween the manner in which it which it goes sbout its work, and that in which some of the Investigation Committees last £cason conducted their inquiries. The doors of the Jlorton Committeo were at once t! open beforn oy general demand for publicit had been mada by the press of the country, i almost beforc it was known that the examina- tion of witneeees was to begin, a resolation was passed that the rules of evidence in Courts ehould opply in the examination of witnesees, thus clos- ing the doora to irrolovant tostimony that might be inspired by the personal malice of sy wit- ness, while in practice the Commities construo theso rules o liberally that no testimony is ex- claded which conteins avy importent informa- tion, or which pointsto thelsource of such infor- mation, ‘and, more than sall, there is en entiro ‘abeence of that disposition more than once evinced by the membersof some former Investigeting, Committces to constitute themseles the specisl attoreys of tho accused aud Ly iugeniously framod queutions to ‘prevont tho wituesses from telling 21l thoy knew. This Committee cecms unapimouzly _dispozed to juvestigate, to find omt all, and, whatever ita report may be, the pcople will be better able to judge of it from baving the testimony before them, and knowing that it has been fairly taken. One other re- mark is proper’ Tho witnesses thus far called havo been introduced by the prosecution, and none of tho testimony thus far taken dis- closes Caldwell’s lino of defence. Tho first witness called yestorday was J. Hammond, of Morris, Kaneas. ~ According to his testimony, ho was desirous of bringing into market & large trect of Indian lands lym,;-r partially “in _ his county: He went to Topeks, 'at the time Caldwell was elected, to do whatever ghould eflect that end. Hehad an interview with Caldwell, 2nd asked him his opinion in regard to this ques- tion, and the Bemator roplied that ho wes in favor of the proposition, and would do anything in his power to Lelp the peo- ple of Borris County. While at Topeka 0 eaw George Smith, of Leaveaworth, who told him that if he kad occasion to use &y money in Coldwell's iuterest, hic might call on Ar. Simcox, & wealthy man of bis.own town. Hammond af- terward “saw Simcox, and told him that he thought” that he could gct _the volo of ome Bnead, a member of the Legislature. ‘When he approached Snead. the latter said (hat howas a poor man, and Hammond sgreed to pay bim £2,000 for his voto. Then leaving him &t tho hotel, with a promise to roturn soon, he went to eee Simcox sbout the money. Not being ablo to find his backers, he returmed. An hour or two later ko found that Socad bad gone to the Capitol. The votein Joint Convention was taken that day, and Spead voted for Caldwell. When the vote was taken in the House previously, he had voted for Clarko. Hammond denied thet he had ever had but one conversotion with Snead on the subject, and that ho ever paid him any moncy. Ho did nof knovw whether Snead over roceived tho money, but believed that he did. Hammond also testi- fiad in regard to an attempt to influence the vole of another member named Phinnoy, but eaid nm:l 10 money was offcrod or any corrupt means uge : ‘The next witness called. was Judge William Spriggs, former State Treasurer of Kansas, Ho eaid, in substance, that ho went to Topeks at the request of ex-Governor Carney, who was expecting to be s candidate for tho Senator- ehip. When Carney withdrew, Spriggs had an interview with Caldwell, and sgreed to support bim on condition that Lo ehould give an equal support {o Governor Carney at the next Senatorial election. On one occasion, he said, about the second day before the first votewas taken, somo members were invited to the Fifth Avenue Hotel by Mr. Smith, one of Caldwell's friends, and the wit- ness went with them. = After drinking eome champegne the members, among whom wero C. B. Butler and Wilson, who both voted for Caldwell, went out. Smith eaid he had bean negotiating for the vote of those men. C.B. Tutler, he eaid, had given a voto for 2350 to the business house of which boéSmith) ‘was a member, and that that note bad to besur- rendered, in order to get Butler to vote for Caldwell. To anotler of the members he said that ho had had to pay $1,000. Mr. Spriggs then went on to give a istory of his connection with Senatorial campaigns. After Carney's friends had concluded to support Cald- well, and sbout a_week before the vote, five or six of tho latter's friends, with his knowledge, constituted themselvea s Com- mittee 10 look after the matter. This Committee consisted of ex-Governor Camey, Governor Osborn, Senator Smith, Frank Denning, and the witness, and it held "two or three meetings aday. The modus operandj was to take a voteof the mogbersof the Leg- islature, and'devote their time to the doubtful men: At a_lato hour, each would report what ho had done. Sometimes a momber would report that a certain member had better not be counted on, as he was s little too light, but that he thought he could bring him down. The only one who mado such reports waa Sena- tor F. Smith, Caldwell's partner, and thers was s kind of general consent in the Committee, that ho should do that branch of the business. ‘Among those whom the witness remombered as ‘having been named ns partnors in the negotia- tions was T. C. Sayres, his own wnember and Sncad, mentioned by the previons witness. Spriggs asked Bmith what Bayres asked, and he replied five thousand dollars, thathe had offered twenty-five hundred, and would not,pay five thousand, unless Sayers' voto was needed to make amsjority. Smith was understood to control the funds, and the Committee, 8 such had no monoy to spend. In reply fo a question, Spriggs said that the majority of the members of whom Lo had heard the prico quoted ranged at £1,000. Caldwell was never prosent at a meeting of this Commit- tee, ind nothing was said about where tho money used was to come from, though General T. Smith ‘was generally recognized as tho financial agent of Caldwell during tho ceucus. Tho wit- noss continucd, that the mext momn- ing after tho election, 2s bo' was about to seturn home, 1. J. Anderson, Agent of the Kaneas Pacific Railroad, asked him to take an order on ore Carson for 31,000 and collect it, He eaid that $1,000 had been paid to a Crawford member from Lynn County to vots for Caldwell, but that bo Liad changed bis mind, and returaed the money to Carson. The witne:s did not take theorder, a8 he knew he could novercollect 81,000 of Carson. Spriggs had heard another member of the Commitice, Denning, after the clection was over, epeak of having had some moncy to use. He eaid that ho had pat into the hands of the Treasurer of Nemahz County $2,000 for votes of the members from that county, but did not eay whore the money came from. = Ho did remark, however, that Caldwell lad been a liftle * elow in tho matter. aud that two days before thoso same notes were offored for 2500 each, and that Caldwell had to pay for Lis delay. Denning also said that the Commit- tee had control of £7,000 to control the seven members from Doniphan County, end tho wit- ness t!mufibt e 8aid that the money had been paid to these membere. This conversation be- tween the wituess and Denning occurred while thoy were talking over how much it cost Caldwell to get eclected, and Denning remarked that it did nol cost less than $60,000 or 970,00, The witness concluded | his_ _testimony by _ swearing thac when be had tho interview with Caldwell in regard to supporting him, Caldwell asked him if he knew any member of the Legislature who could be influenced by money. 1fo replied he hnd heard of two,—Luce, who testified on Fri- day, and_another whosc name he had forgot- ten. Caldwell replied tbat if he found sny members who wanted money for their votes, they should be sent to bum (Caldwell) or Gen: eral Smith. Ho eaid also, chat there was 1n- other class of high-toned feliows who would not sell their votes; but thoy had to be to considers- ble expenso in treating, ete., and would like to bave those expenses reimbursed to thom. That was the way :Rc_v put it. If the witness found any such Lie was to send them to Caldwell or General Smith. - Carson, the next witness, &2id that he was employed by T. J. Anderson. s friend of Cald- well, to buy votes st $1,700 esch, that is, he was to have 81,700 for esch vote he bought, and he was to make all the profit he could. ~ Ho did succeed in buying Crawford, referred to by the ‘previous witness, for $1,000, and got the mnn:{ $rom Andereon, and paid it over to Crawfo Tio man cfterwards bscked out, snd paid the ZFoprosent a majority of tho entire Yoting popa- | 0095 back to the witness, and o kept it to pay {for his own services. Ho also proposed to sell to Judge Crosser, a friend of Caldwell, thirteen votes, and asked the Judgo if, when e bought s member, he could take o receipt o hold him to his bargain. Caldwell asked him somo guestion, in cross- examination, about an attempt to blackmasil in Washington' Iast epring, and tho witness an- swered In euch a way a8 to convince thoso pres- ent that, though he denied it, ho was guilty. T8 acscrrer S0 gubationn o Clkrke, thio withoss ad- l mitted that he was eummoned before the Legis- Iative Committee, and went to Topeka, but was mot by Jas. F. Legate, & friend of Caldwell, now in Washington: working in- hia interest, who hired him to leave the Stéte on tho next train. T. J. Anderson, agent of the Kansas Pacific Railrozd, at Topeks, denied the testimony in rogard {0 the prrohase of any members, but ad- mitted he and his railrord had used some mone; to secure Caldwell's olection. He also left Kanses in order to _escape_cxamination by the Legislative Committee. He admitted getting cash for a check of €7,000 drawn by General 8mith in favor of Governor Carney on tho day before the election of Caldwell, but did not know what the muney was for. Vory likely Lio told D. M, Adams that Caldwell had ‘agreed to pay bim for his Borvices, but it was not true; thought the amount nemed was €5,000 ; told eome one elso.that ho lhad got ©20,000. He also sdmitted that Caldwell had Jeft him in Lis credit for £3,500, but_denied that he had ever got any money,-or that the traneaction had myl‘ffing to do with the election, The whole maneer of this witnees was such a3 to leave the impression that he was not tolling the truth. The investigation will bo continued to-mor- row. TEE MEXICAN BORDER COMAISSION, The final insiructions wero given to-day to Colouel Rabb, Chairman of the Mexican Border Commigsion, and ha will leave to-morrow for Brownsville ria Chicago and New Orleaus, to re- sumo the investigation of the depredations on the DMexican =~ border. Tho mmittce will not return hers until aboat June mext, unless, as stated, something should tun' mp. In the meantime, tho latter means that the Administration is expected to make a demand on Mexico for the settlement of claims of United States citizous for losses oc- casioned by the depredations of the Moxicans along the Rio Grande, and, it ia said, if ~ Mexico does mot reply promptly, the Government of the United States will immediately press their payment. Ia short, that the Administration intends to pursud a more rigid cotree toward Moxico than Lereto- forc. explanstion of these statements, it is assorted that the Administration ~ has good reason to discredit the re- ports_given by Mr. Nelson, our Mimster to Mexico, of the peaceful and orderly condition of that country; that he,is unakle to Judgo from his point of view, becsuse the diplo- macy of the authorities in Mexico is of a char- acter superior to that of Mr. Nelaon, whose eves seem to be blinded more or less by the highly- colored statements hae received in tho City of Mexico in rogard to the affsirs of the Repab- lic. Mr. Nelson represents tho country to be quiet, and the prospect favorable to s continu- aace of that condition, whilst the information roceived here from nearly all other sourcos indicates that people in varions parts of tho Son,ntrym excited and inclined to be disor- erly. General Cortina is reported to bo agitating tho State of Tamaulipas, which borders the Rio Grande, and which embraces a large portion of the southorn coast, and it is predicted that, on tho 15th of March, be will issue another pronun- ciamento, for which he is colobrated, declaring himeelf clected Governor of the. Stato, for whicl position he is a candidate, andis now echeming. LOUISIANA AND AREANSAS. _The Senate Committse on Priviloges and Elec- tions spent bwo Lours yesterdsy morning in discussing arrangements for tho Louisiana and Arkaneas inveatigations. _It is reported that at one timo a decicion yras arrived at to appoint three Commissioner8™ to go -to-each State and toke testimony, .and ' some mnames - wera even suggested jof . porsons competent to serve in such a copacity. Tho appointment of one member of each Committes was to be given to Trumbull, 4nd he is understood to have named Governor | Palmer, of Iilinois, a8 his choics to represent the minority on the Louisiana Commission. After these nsmes bad been mentioned, tho mejority of the Committce réconsidered its vote to inves- tigato through a Committes, and concluded to conduct tho inquiry themeelves, by sending for tho witnesses to como to Washington. Sub- poenas were at once issued requiring the pres- ence of a_consideyablo number of the more prominent politicians of Louisiana, in- cluding, it is feported, the members of both Returning Boards, The Committee will also robably eend for the election returns, and will egin the invostigation as soon ns the witnesscs can be procured. Itis hoped that the Com- mittee will sit with open doors, as in the Cald- well case. " : —{To the Associated Press.) THE THOMAS STATUE. £ ‘WASHINGTOX, Jan. 12.—Representative Dodds, of Ohio, yosterday presented a memorial from Generals Grosvenor, Craft, Barnett, and Gar- field, the Committes of the Society of the Army of the Cumberland, reciting the origin and or- ganization of the Society, its purpose to erect a national equestrisn etatus to the memory of General Thomas, the steps already takeu, and asking donations of eigm{,-cigm. pieces of dis- carded and unscrviceable bronze cannon. Tho memorialists ask slso tbat Congress sp- propriato a sum of money. The Society design to make a special effort, on May 30 next, Decoration Day, to raise funds for the purpose. The monument will be located on_one of tho squares of Washington, and it is‘hoped to ralee at least £50,000 outeido of the aid here asked. TMPORTART EEVENUE DECISION, The Secrotary of the Treasury, in a recent or- der, has decided fhat, except in cases where the circamstances are peculiar, it is incxpedient to commence £uit for the recovery of duties npon goods in bonded warchouses within tha lines of the so-cslled Confoderato States at the time the war_opened, or for the recovery of duties on oods imported into the eaid States whilo the Z\erdl‘ iction of the United States over the said tates was . interrupied. Several suits aro now pending in the Southern -Courts awaiting deci- sion. THE MEXICAN FRONTIER COMMISSION. Meesrs. Robb and Savage, of the Texas Fror- tier Commiesion, leaye to-morrow for Ohicago, where they will be joined by General Osborme, the newly-appointed member. Judge 3loore, of Tllinois, has been sppointed Secretary. Upon reaching the Rio Grande, the Commission will employ a translator and interpreter. _The Prosi- dent hasczused suchinstructions to be issued as will render the Commission more efficient, be- sides which cavalry has been seut to several ex- poeed points to guard againat Mexican raida. JNEXICAN CLATNS COMDMISBION. Tho treaty for the oxtension of tho Mixed Commission hae failed, throngh the sdjourn- ‘ment of the Mexican Congress beforo the return of our Minister Nelson, and it will terminate in March or-April, leaving many cases unedjusted. CREDIT MOBILIER. Spectal tzh to The Chicago Tribune. Ncw Yorg, Jan. 12.—Suits have been com- menced by fhomss C, Durant, ex-Vice Presi- dent, Agent and Executive Ofiicer of tho Union Pacilic Nailrosd Compauy, against Jamas Brooks and Oakes Ames, ‘o récover Crodit Mcbilior shares, alleged to bave been frandulently ob- tained, or nnlawfally appropriated. Logal notice “was merved upon. Alr Brooks at his sesidence in this city yesterday. The former Fuit is to bo brought in "the Supreme Courk in the city of New York, and if not compromised, will involve a thorough canvaas of the whole subject of the Credit Mobilier. Another suit is about to com- mence againe Oakes Ames to recover shares of Credit Mobilier stock eaid to hiave been delivered to him at bis request, to be distribuied among friends, where it wonld do most good for legislation, efc. This suit will be based upon sesertions ©of -members of Congress, and others; who assert that they nover received auy . sharce. The Directoris _declare that’ Armes represented that he distributed a number of shares given to him for lefign.rpose but the recent doclarations of Benator Wilaon, Vice President Colfax, Sena- tor Allison, Speaker Blaine, Secretary Bontwell and others, that they never received agy shareaof Credit Mobilier, necessitate an_inquiry why the shares bave not_been roturned to the Com%njy Dby Mr. Ames, Hence the proposed suit. 'This will open the whole question of the Credit Mo- bilier independent of the examination now pending before Congress. Dr. Duraat says to s reporter that Wm. E.
