It was dotermined to present the question” of cheap transportation as resulting from the improvement of tho Ohio and-other water lines by a personsl intorview to the Pres- ld'enl: of the United Btates, the Secretary of War, the Chief Engineer of tho War Depart- ment, and to the Committees of Commerce of both Houses. They will also, in season, call tho attention of the Lighthouse Boa~d to {he great necessity that exists for a. system of lights "and buoys on Wastern ‘riv- cra. The Commission dos nob expoct, in the present excited temper of the Honse nn- der the Credit Mobilier investigation to obtain at this session any other appropriations than those included in tho re; iver and Harbor Appropriation bill, but thoy expect to conince, tho chicf officers of tho Govornmont, and tho leading public men of tho country, of the neces- sity for the improvement of the 'Ohio £nd its tributaries to all the agricnltural and manufac- toring interests of the conntry, and that the people of the Weut are in_carncat in demanding taat the Government shall undertake withont dolay this work. THE BEQUSANT WITNESS. Josoph B. Stewart, known in the “lobby?” 29 “Big Jos Stewart,” was brought into the House fo-day, immodiately after the morning hour, by the Sergeant-at-ATms, for refusing to give information Lefore the Wilson Committee 88 to the disposition of sbout & quarter million of dollars of the funds of the Union Pacific Rond, placed in hia hands for lobbying purposes, ‘This action was in accordance with the views of the House yesterday. A contumccious witness™ case alwaya brings a crowd to the Capitol, and there was an unusual attondance to- day, of all closses, and tho _galleries were closely packed. A more distingnished attendance of visitors is [rarcly seen in either Houso, among the number being Horatio Sey- mour, Goneral Burnside, Wm. A. Graham, President “‘hitah of Cornell, Governor War- moth, Sccretary Robeson, Dr. Durant, August and Horace F. Clark. Both Ordway, the Sergoant-at-Arms, and Stowart aro of gigantic heiglt end sizo, being by odis tho largest men in Washington. Their cntrance into the hall at the hour uygainted, and their stride down the central aisle, created a marked sonsation. They took rositiun immediately in front of tho Spesker, and presented -a strango icture. Crdway reported that he nd performed the duty assigned him, and the Speaker at once demanded of Stewart if ho was ready to answer the questions of the Committce. Stowart’s opportunity, which hohad been secking for so many days with such per- sistency, had at last arrived, and thero wasprob- sably not & happier man in tiie House at that_ in- [stant than ho. He had stuffed himselt full of 1zl the indignation e could digest about the slurefl rights of the citizens, the confidence of a 1awyer and client, and tho oppression of Logis- ‘Iative bodics. In additicn, he said he ‘studied Story and Greenleaf, and ell tho .authorities ho lLsd. . He propared a written speech in caso he should fail of an op- Elctrtnmty to mako his arguments to the Houss. e first “denied the accurncy of the roporter's copy of tho testimony, and after a stout denial that any contempt of the Committes or tho House was. intended, "he proceeded in & sharp and pungent manner to show that he had =« contemps for both bodies. His voice was ex-, cellent, and, except for the fact that he appeared} 10 have bt ‘ono joint in his body, that being att the hizs, his manner of = delivery. was¢ good. At t he mede a very good showing, and created s good impression, ut, as he procecded ho' becamo tiresome. Ho 18t his temper “two or throe times, and flung hin arms about in a very lively manner, to tho danger of the heads of members in his vicinity. | Ho was applauded once, just when he had do- || clared ,in a righteous and torrible burst of indig-3 nation, that, if he waashutup ina bastile, hisp client’s- sccrets should safely repose in hiss bosom. It was'suggested fx-:sqr‘::llz during hial specch that Joo's senso of profkssional honor wag more delicats than it would be divided fairly and kept less of the money himeclf. His speech was not intended for thow House, but- for the stesmship interest, thoi Senatorial election intereat, tho railrosd intera: gra st; and all others who have businesss to do and money to spend to procure legislatiom for the benefit of corporations. Ho wanted to show the managers of theso enterprises that. ho could bo trusted with money, and would not re- veal'the purposes for which he spplied it. Ho wanted to show eversbody that he was a lewyer, and had fuch a eense of professional honor that he could mysteri- onsly get away with & quarter of umillion. of dollars, and be puniehed by the House., without beiug. c%x:‘fella to toll what he did with it. His epeech had the contrary effect. It made many beliove that he hid kept tho most of the money, end - that his virtue was a clover ‘advertising dodge. * After he had spoken half an hour, evéry word he uttered was an injury to him, and before ho 'had’ finished, so wWeary had the Houso becomo of . his harangue, that mojority felt. Lke . putting --him in jail for spesking ®o long. A -question was raised once, but the Speaker decided that the witness was entitled to an hour, which-he occu- pigd to the Iast minute. Judge Wilson,the Chairman of the Committee,. then.offered & long and involved rosolution, tor tho effect that if -Stewart still persisted in_ his: contempt, he should be returned in the custody of the Sergeant-at-Arms, subject to the order of the Committee, This was finally pagged, after no end of_trouble, confusion, and bad feeling. Half the membors wantod to send him to jail,. and resolutions to that end wero offcred, and, _indeed, one of that character was adopted, and then rescinded. The Speaker showed much tomper, apparently toward mem- bers who wera disposed to be severe toward the witness. Stewart is floundering about ono of the principal hotels to-night, receiving the con- gratulations of men, who tell him that 1f he had answered the quostions that it would have had a tendency to destroy the business of Congress, ‘The room in which Colonel Wooley was confined 4is being put in order for Stewart’s accommoda- * tion. N DON'T BELIEVE IT. ! One of Benator Pomeroy's old *strikers," . whom he denominated in a lettor a8 ““AMy doar Legate,” is now here, and says he does not credit the stalement that Pomeroy has been caught in bribing legislators to voto for him. He eayw it- is not creditable that any man in Eansas would voluntarily surrender £7,000 after getting his Liands on it. He thinks tho smount was raised among Pomeroy's enemics snd givon to York to do just what was done, with the understanding that it wos to be returned. THE NEXT GOVENOR OF TTAN. It is believed among the few 3ormons now in the city, and bfi several Weatern members of Congress, that Delegate Claggett, of Montana, at -the closo of tho preseut Congress, or during the month of March, will be appointed Governor of TUtsh.
