THE OREDIT MOBILIER BOANDAL. - WAsmnarox, Jan. 20.—Judge Poland's Crodit Mobilier Invostigation Committee was largoly attended to-day, it boing popularly expocted that Oakes Amos would not only oxhibit his original memorandum, but aigo letters, recoipts, and atatoments from Congrossmen which would causo somothing like tho senaations nttonding the production of Pattorson's lottor and Colfax’s bank account. But fow of thoso documonts wore prosonted, howevor, those offered being ad- ditional recoipts frem Pattorson; and a state- mont of figures in Garland's handwriting, wherein tho Iatter makes Amos his debtor for S?,l!:ll on account of his Crodit Mobilier invost- ment. Robort 8. Hale put in an appoarance as tho at- torney of Vico Prosident Colfax, and proposos, on the bohalf of hia client, to establish that tho 1,200 doposited in tho Firet National Bank tho day aftor Amos gavo bim s check on the Ber- gnmt—nt-lmm for that amount, was obtained rom an entirely difforont source, The awkward fact in tho way in this connection, howaver, in that part of his swomn testimony boforo {he Commnitteo already given, wherein ho says that he did not recoivo so lufio & sum of monoy ab that timo, and no such sum could have como into his possession without his distinotly romemboring it. Both Colfsx and Pattorson will be givon another heariug to-mor- ruw,i ntw Inttor in explanation of his lottora and recoipta. p“ has beon given o leave of absonce for about a weok to attond to his private businoss, and algo to hunt up more documentary evidenco. The Wilson Committeo, having oxbausted tho stook of witnessos whoto momory or knowlodga was doficlont, began yestorday to- work a fie which promisos a rich harvest. Many facts woro revoaled in regard to the oxpenditure of immenso sums of monoy, belonging to the Union Pacific Railroad for lobby purposes, to influence logislation, but, to-day, -tho effort to enlargo tho information in possossion of tho Committeo was mot by a witnoss with a con- tomptuous rofusal to disclose what he had dono with a quarter of amillion of dollara in bonds and mouey,which hadbeen placedin his hands, Joseph B. Btewart, somotimes of New York and somo- timos of Washington, a lawyor of some promi- nonco, and a loblyist of ekill and daring, wastho witness, Ho is noarly soven feet in hoight, with an immonse frame and_ercct carriage, and his movoments are alow and deliberato. His ago is not far from 50. Takon altogethor, bo is o very noticeablo character. In the Committeo to-dasy his manner was deflant, while the memboxs of tho Committoo weoro excesding- 1y considerate and forbearing in thoir conduct toward him. Whon quostions similar to thoso asked to-day wero put to the witness severnl days ago, ho then doclined to anawer, and the Committos theroupon went into socref consultn- tion, and had decidod not to gratify Mr. Btow-. art’s apparont desiro for notoriety, if tho infor- mation could bo elsowhore obtained, but they dotermined that if it was found noceusary to re- call him, ho would bo compelled to answer, or they would endeavor to com- mit- him for contompt. It was soon dis- covered, this morning, that it would not bo his fault if ho was not reported for contompt, for in somo of his rofusals to answer ho was vn;gy discourtoous. He said none of the monoy Bad beon used to corrupt Membors of Congross, nor had any beon Pvun to nowspaper corre- spondonts, Ho tartly acknowlodged, however, at £wo nowspaper propriotors raceived some of his bounty. The play between the Committeo- men and the witnoss, although larsh and un- necessary on the part of the Iatter, was vory in- teresting, and lasted sbout half an hour, After the Committoo becamo convincod that tho witness was dotormined to thwart the {mr oses of tho investigation, ho was nvited {o rotire, and tho Committes had a pri~ vate conforonce, during which the testimony was written out. Autharities wero found, precedenta wero unearthed, and propositions were made for bringing _tho 6ubjoct to the attention of tho Houso, Finally Mr. Wilson, the Chairman of tho Committee, arose in the i{ouso on & question of fr&vflngn, and sont to the dosk the questions of tho Comunitteo and the answer of Mr. Btow- art, wherein ho refuced to discloso the knowl- odge in his possossion. Tho Com- mitteo asked the adoption of a resolu- tion, directing tho Bergeant-at-Arms to take Stowart into mlnmrlii Soveral apoke on the uestion, including Hoar, Bhollabarger, Dotter, q tion, includit Bhollabs Pottor, Toland, Farnsworth, and Bingham, Mr, Farns: worth_ was tho only ous who n&oko againat tho attitude of tho Committeo, and ho held that the confldonco betweon an nhnmoy and cliont, or botwaen an agont and his principal, should not be broken by a Committeo of Congress, It was ovidont that the sympathy was with tho Com- mitteo, Mr. Bingham offored o substituto that tho witness bo brought beofore the bar of the Iouso, to show cause why ho should not bo punished for contempt. On this resolution, Mr. Bingham mado one of his ringing speachies, in which he spole eloquently of thoright of a citizon to bo heard in his do- fenco, and it was carried. Many mombera who votod against it did so becaua~ they did not went Stowart to have the o{)pnrtunity of spenking to the House and advertising hiscalling. During the discussion, Btowart was in ono of the rooma of tho House proparing his spoech, which he is oxpeocted to doliver to-morrow.
