Mr. BHELDON moved to suspend the rules and pass a concurrent resolution for the ap- intment of a Joint Select Committeo of three tors and six Bepresentatives to inquire into the Lonisiana eleetion and report whether thero is any legal Govarnmont thore, and if there are two geta of ons claiming to exerciee the au- thority which should be recognized by Congress, with power to take testimony in \Vugingtuu ans Lonisians, and send for persons and papers, Pending the vote, the rnles were mpesggd to llow an hoor’s debate. Mr. SHELDON opened the debate by a state- ment showing the necossity and propriety of the investigation proposed. Hao said that it was dus to the President of the United States, who had been attacked for his action in the matter; it was due to Judge Darell, and it was due to the Republicans of that Siate, and to the peopla of that Stete. - If there hed been corrupt and xty proceedings there, tho masses of the people of both parties wero entircly inno- cent of them. : ‘Mr. ELDRIDGE suggested that Judge Durell 2id’ not cleim to bo acting as United States Jndge, but as Vice Regent of Almighty God sit- ting to il“fan“ Justice. Mr. SHELDON. "Ho is a United States Judge. Novertholoss, 1dg not say whathar Lo has dons right or wrong. 1 pass no opinion on his action. 1£ight, 1ot him bovindicated St wpons. Ty b #bide thie consequonces of his acts. I thero- fore propose this investigation in noparty spirit, but in a spirit of peaco and good government. 2ir. BUTLER, (Mass.) opposed thercsolution, llgmngeflmt the investigation would not be closed before the close of Congress, and that the proper conreo would bo the passage of a bill now pending before the Judiciary Committes for the eppointment of & Commiusion, charged with hav- ing a new and fair election in thoStato of Louis- iaas, Hoarguod that neither the Warmoth nor Pinchback Governments had any legal stand- ng. Mr. FARNSWORTH replied to Mr. Butler's argument, xnd sugpurted the resolution. Be- fore Congrass could take tho ground that there was no Stato Government in Lonisizns, it would be necessary to turn out the men now sitting ag Benators and Representatives from that State. Afr. BUTLER—* The Statehad a Government when they were admitted.” Mr. FARNSWORTH—** But their offic conses 88 soon as the Stato Government coases.” Ar. KERZ regarded Mr. Butler's proposition oot only as intolerable, but as monstrous. No one could deny that Louisiana bad a Constitn- tion that was Republican in form. It hi been organized under Congressional doo- trines, and the Republican party should mot go b 80 soon on_ itsa own offspring. Ithadbeen made by lthe people of Lonisiona after’ s manner. Ibyhnd gotpbeen overthrown by the people of Lonisiana. It had * been overthrown .alone by the Iawless con- duct of one man, aided by many others of an equally bad and revolutionary character and in- famous ose, aod that one man w2s an officer of the Federal Government, and not of the Btate Government at all. It was a Judge of the United States Distritt Court in Lonisiana who, ‘withont ono single scintilla of legal right or au- thority, undertook to step in between the people of Louisiana and the resultof legal and consti- tutional election held in that State, and to pnt itin the power of a combination and clijue there to take coatrol of the State Government by overraling the populac will. Thoy all know that the infamous Pinchback Government was not elected by the people of Lonitiana, and did Bot claim w’h-v‘% been £0 electod. Jbwea for 0 purpose of setting aside the judgmont of the people that the infamous Judge eave the hand of Federal power to a combination of law- lessmen. Ithad been stated by Mr. Sheldon that this investigation was due the Prosident of tho United States, and -to Judge Durell, which meant that the object was to whitewash these men, who bad interposed lawlessly to overthrow arighiful, and constitutional, and roj Gov- ernment of » State. Ho (Kerr) was' opposed to all such whitewashing propozitiona. Mr. DAWES—* What remedy does the gentle- manproos e 4 Mr. KERR—The remedyis as clear ss_the light of the sun. It consists alonein the Fed- eral Government keoping ita handa off the law- losa power of the people of Louisiana, and suf- fering them to go onin the exercise of. their own power under tho Constitution in reorganiz- isntg‘ and re-cstablishing order in their own ato. 2 Nr. SAOTH (N. Y.)—Supposo the Presiden- tial election kad turned ou the vote of Louis- ians, would we not liave civil war in every State of tho Union? s 3fr. KERB—T do not soe any neeossity for civil war ansing out of these Louisiaua troubles, oxcept for thislawless intorferonce. 1tis true thatif tlus lawless interferenco hed mot taken lace first on the part of the Federal Judiciary in ouisiann, and then on the part of this Adminis- tration, the Electoral vote of Louisiana would not bocast for Grant, But now whatis the remedy ? Tske off_this lawless power and give back t0 . theso psople the right to_control their dostinies within tho lettor and spirit of the Con- stitution of the United States. : Mr. STEVENSON opposed theresolution,argu- ing that there wero no less than five Committees in~ the two Houses, thathad now jurisdiction over the question, viz.: The EKu-Klux Com- ‘mittee, the Belect Committas sent last winter to Louisiana, the two Election Committees, aud the Judiciary Committes. He argued against tho resolution, saying something should be left to timo, the great henler ; that Louisiava should boleftto take cazo of hursoif, and -that Con- gress should bo done with tho everlasting ques- tion of reconstruction. Let them reconstruct thomselvos somewhat. If they cannot' havo peace, Jot them Lavo trouble. Ha wouldn't care 1l som® of these violent Radicals down there cut each other's throats. 3 Mr. COX supported the resolution, desiring no ex parfe statoment by the Executive, but both sides of the question, 80 Congress might doter- mine the proper courso. Mr. POLAND argued that tho question was a ‘mers eloction contest, and purely of s_judicial nature. One partyhad goa decision in ifsfavor, end it was not for him to say whether it was xight or wrong. Itwas the daty of tho Execu- tiva to prevent civil war and asarchy, and that he had done. Mr. HALE (Maine) supported the_rosolution arguing that tha C:rpet-bng" Governmen! brought dis, 8 ugon tho Ropublican party, and ‘might have brought defeet upon it, but for other overpowering considerations. Tho Republican party will be hold responsible in the future, if anarchy and corruption prevailed in_tho Sonth- ern States, and, therefore, ho wanted some kind of fundamentel action. Mr. BINGHAD sustained, and Mr. PORTER opposed. 3fr. DAWES opposed the resolation, stating thero was more trouble_with existing facta than with any effort to acarch after others. - The Con- stitution imposed on the Executive the duty of xmgizin , when there is conflict in s State, which of the two was the Gavernment de facto, and not de jure, and Congress was not to sct up by enactment one sot of officers, but to decide on imipm who wero de faclo oficers. Tho ques~ tion of who wero the dejure officers should be left to the State Courts. Thus far, the Presi~ dent had acted in conformity with his duty. Mr, BHELLABARGER cndorsed Mr. Dawes’ views, and Mesars. POLAND and ELDRIDGE those of Alr. Kerr, Mr. GARFIELD offered, as a substituts, a resolution referring tho President’s message on the subject of Louisians to the Judiciary Com- mittee, with instructions to roport whether any facts in the case require action by .Congress. Adopted. PACIFIQ RATLROADS. On motion of Mr. HIBBARD, tho rules wers suspended to allow his proposition in roference to the Pacific Railro; to be in orderas an 1‘,‘-,?{"‘1"““‘ to the Legislative ' Appropriation Mr. SARGENT moved the suspension of tho rules to enable him to offer 2s an amendment to the same bill, a proposition directing the Attor- ney, General to institute a suit in equity against the Pacific Railroad Companies to aecertain “whether they are in default to the Government.

The bulk of the business on call was at 7 per cent, although at the close some_loans were mado at 5@6 per cent, In the market for mer- cantile paper there is & good inquiry, prime names gelling all the way from 8 to 12 per cent. The city banks are receiving currency from the interior, the greafer part as yef, however, beingin National Bank notes. The recent exceptional shipmenis of gold are against the money market, but it is not expected these will continue. Ths fact that the European markets have practically been closed for six months past to all American securities, except United States bonds, and that we have few or none of these to export, accounts for the Yecent specie exports. The Kuropean morkets, however, are working into better condition for American securities. Some of tho leading railrosds will probably succeed in plwnE their securities in the London and Gorman markets, 2ll of which will help to pay for our excessive imports of foreign goods. ‘The condition of the banks at the beginning of thenew yoar, as compared with the corresponding timoin 1872 and 1871, suggests conservative management on all sidos, and it is evident that, 28 far a5 the money market i8 concerned, there will bo less to tompt speculativa expansion at the Stock Exchango than for iwo years past. Foreign advices continne favorablo both for money and securities. STOCKS. The stock market was very irregular, somo ehares showing incroneed strength and others considorable weakness. The strong stocks were Rock Island and Westorn Union.

After tho meating adjourned, Commodore Vanderbilt and others thought that tho resolution should be so chenged as to permit tho iseue of a portion of tho boads in sterling, to facilitale their negota- tion abroad. A meeting of the Board was callod to congider the amendment. The Directors met Saturdsy morning ins Mr. Vandorbilt's Fri\j:te offico, in Twenty-fourthstreet. The fol- owing gentlemen were present: Commodore Vanderbilt, W. H, Vanderbilt, Augustus Schell, General Butler, James Walkor, Jas. H. Bancker, Jas, M. Marvin, Samuel Bergler, and George Whitney. At this meeting the resolution was 5o amended as to allow the issue of $10,000,000 in sterling bonds and 230,000,000 in currency bonds. _ This evening & Sun reporter called on Cqmmodore Vanderbilt to learn soma additional articulars regarding this redical chango in the entral Road, which wwould giva it grestor road capacity than enjoyed bg any other railway in the calmig. Said the Commodore : * We have no animosity towardany road, and woe are going to lIny thoso additional tracks becauso they are required for the business of our road. That ides about Dbitter competition is wholly incorrect. Of course we shall carry as low &3 we can, but thero is business enough for all the roads.” The roporter asked it the infor- mation regarding the- loan was correct. The Commodore replied that it was; that the work :llx ’;\Iflfl.mbg the tvi’fld extra was "en e an over seventy- Bro Tles Tof i bad been otk Hoe continued that it would doubtless not cost more than 20,000,000 to build the track, proba- 5 less. ilc‘%armr—flen why did you decide to issue £i0,000,000? Qommodore Vanderbilt—We have about §15,- 000,000 in bonds mt lx“mw. A portion of these new bo set aside to take up the old ones. Then, say that tho cost of the track yet to be Duilt is 215,000,000 more, That makes £30,000,- 000, which was about my first intention s to the amonnt. We don't want to put on another morigage, and 80 we thought bast to meke the loan large snough to cover all contingencies while we wero atit. e might just as well, and then we may want to Luy ten acres of land or mmnlh.\nindan, andif wedowhy wehavo the money. d again we may not waut to sell the bonds. W have money enough. Reporier—When will” the work begin ? Commodore—As I ssid, we already have over seventy-five miles built. ' We have now a atrong forco of engineers at work, and the minnto the frost leaves the ground we shall have large gangs of men at work all along tho line. Reporter—Does the business of the road re- quire four fracks? Com.—I will state the case and you can draw your own inferenco. For instanco, if wo wero sure that our business ss it is now on two tracks would never incresss, it would etill be advantageous for us to have four tracks. Even if our business did not increase, we could, with four tracks, save much more than the in. torest on the cost of the new tracks. We could carry freight fally 15 per cent cheapor than now. We have to run freight trains 20 rapidly to get thom out of the wayof the paasonger trains that we froguently bave to ran thirty mils an hour. Bat it nses up the roliing- stock, knocking the cars to pieces without runfiy carrying tho froight any faster. I had this de- sign in my mind when I wont on the road, three years ago. Iknow the Contral must have four tracks, and always Leld that object in view. This 75 or 100 miles of ‘extra tracks whick we have already built to accom- modate freight frafic “wes built with a iaw to its forming a part of the new lincs, Last summer I mado up my mind that the work was gomi{orm.rd too slowly. I got our best peopla together, and submittod a proposition_to them. Supposo’_all the passenger trains were taken of, and the road giren up_entirc- lé to freight? How mucl the current oxpenses could we save in the transportation of freight'?" In other words, bow much cheaper could we carry freight ? Sup. gosu, for instance, our freight traffic amonnts to 15,000,000, and it costs eo much per cent for expenses. Take off the pusunier trains and loave free tracks, What would be tho por cent of saving on _the traneportation of freights ? The Commodore continued: The lowest estimato mede of the saving which might thus bomado was 10 per_cent. Others thought wo could thereby save 15 por cent, and, in my judg- ment, that is the most accurate estimate. Suj s&;o, now, we should eave 15 per cent on S1b,- ,000 froight transportation. That would ba £2,250,000. Now, suppose the new tracks cost 15,000,000, on which we sliould pay 7 per cont, which would be $1,050,000. Now, if our businesd remained just as it is, tho new tracks would give us & saving of $1,200,000 a year ; in other words, ‘weshouldmake that muchmoremoney. Weshould make a8 good time with froights, run With regu- Inrity, and T think tho saving would be fully up to the per cent mentioned. We should gfim tracks for freight and tracks for passengers, and the present ruinous wear on freight rolling stock wonld cease. Reporter—I do not know of any four-track roads. 5 Com.—I don’t; but the Central must have two more tracks, and I bops to livo to eee fhem laid. T am getting pretty old, but I never had better hicalth than nos. Reporter—You say thero will be no fight be- tween your road end others competing for the ‘Western trade. Com.—There is and will beno_reason for a fight. The Central stands ready and always has to accept any tariff that the other roads “vant to make, provided, of course, that they lel\'fieLth; fr:;“ 80 l:l‘ll there (ill :h:euagmbls prof ey wanf to cut under why we are able and ready to fight. s This ended the intorview, All tho telegraph companies, except the West- ern Union, have formed a combination to lower rates.
