Proposition to Abolish the Mileage of Congressmen, Success of tho Funding Loan Fully Assured. CREDIT MODILICR. Special Despateh to The Chicago Tribune, Wasnryaron, Feb, 2.—Tho Poland Committes Lud a consultation, yesterday, regarding tho facts alroady provon bofore thom, and aa to thoir powors and the powors of Congross in the prom- imos. It scems to be a quostion rogulated by precedont and by English Parlismentary practico, that Congross cannot go back of an olection to investigato tho charactor and conduct of » mem- bor, and it seoms probablo this fdea will form tho'tasls of the roport and recommondations of tho Poland Committeo, Nothing of a dofinito oharacter wns docided st tho consulta- tion, it boing tho first yot hold, aud’ it is apparont that the inqui will soon be brought to a close. A seasion wil bo hold on Tucsday, when it is oxpected that Job Btovongon will finlsh his foolivh investigation into the Bfoux City Railrond, his objact now be- {og, apparcntly, to show that io had ronsonabla glmands of suspicion before introducing his res- ntion. As horotoforo stated, Mr, Colfax, through his attornoy, hns notified the Committeo that he does not wish to’procoed with his onso until tho return of Onkea Amos, when Lo will ondoaver to shoy that thomonoy ho doposited, two days at- tor tho allogod payment of intercst by Ames, camo from anothor eource, Ames, previous to his doparture for Massa- chusotts, told the mombora of the Committes, privately, that he was cortain ho had taken ro- ceipts from all to whom ho paid monay, and that ho had the receipts yot in hin posseseion, besides cortuin autograph lotters, that it would bo dan- Eurnun to print, As to the privato memorandum ook, thore is littlo doubt that it contains n masa of vory intoresting information, not wholly now to somo persons mnot yot montioned in connec~ tion with the Credit Mobilier bribery. This book Mr, Ames has beon instructed to bring with him, and it is to bo hoped that there will bo 1o missing loaves from its pages. Unloss the evidonco to be heronftor furnished by Alr. Colfax or Oakos Ames shall opon up now flolds snd fan onlarged scope of inquiry, the invoatigotion will closo durlng tho present woek, whon nothing will be loft but for the Com- mitteo to writo thoir roport. The members do- claro that thorowill bo nothing of tho whitewash- ing character about it, but that it will take tho conrao which soema propor without favor on one sido, or fear on the other. 0.8, Bushnell, of Credit Mobilier and Unien Pacific Rallroad notoricty, has nrrived hers, oud again presonts himsolf a8 & voluntary wit- nosa before the Committee. He eays to-day that he will esy that he roceived 126,000 of epecial logal focs, with which tho Committoo ia now troubled, and that not a dollar of It wont to Jamos F. Wilson, notwithutanding tho posi- tive ond ciroumstantinl of tho ef Clerk ond Assistout 'l'ressurer Bponco As to tho use o mado of tho monoy, He enys..that not & dollar of it was spont in_{Vashington, but that it was used to take np cortain notes and ob- ligations, oll of which is belicved only by the ovor-crodulous, Thore is an inquiry being instituted hors as to what has bocome - of " tho records of tho testimony takon by {iho rofereo in the suit brought "by M'Comb befora tho Pannsilvnuh Courts to rocover the monoya claimed by him {from the Credit Mobilior. It will bo romom- berod that thoso rocords wero stolen about & Joue agor ond it io. gonerally beliovod that hey aro now in tho possession of tho someowhat notorious _detectives, Wood cnd Blumenborg, It ia stated that, since tho preaent investigation has boon under way, thoy havo been nltornately offered to Amos and M'Comb at tho reasouable figure of #5,000. Persons who clnim tohavehad eccess to those documonts nssert that they are of tho highest importanco, and that thoy involve disclosuros moro startling than anything which has yot becn rovealed in connaction with Con- gress and tho Oredit Mobilier. It is suggest- ed that, to got abt_the truth of “those statements, Judgo Poland should = cause Wood and Blumenbergtoappear boforo his Com- mitteo for cxamnation in this mattor, and to show in whoso custody these papers now remain, Benator Pattorson and Vico Presidont Colfax both confidently assort that they will yet bo amblo to ‘clenr away the unfortunate cloud which now surrounds them with re- lation to tho Crodit Mobilier affair and thoir colleaguos. They insist that Ames has manu- factured tho caso against them. Pattorson does no Indicate, howover, what his dofonce will be. Cofax will wait until Ames’ return, the latter part of the weok, when, if the groat bribor has nothing additional to offer in tho case, ho will oxplain tho sources from which ho raceived the 81,200 placod to his crodit in the Tirst National Bank of this city. MORE INVESTIGATION PRODADLE. An attompt will bo made in Rernbllcnu quar- tora to introduco » resolution in tho Houso, to- morrow, providing for a Joint Committeo to sit during tho recean for tho_purposo of continuin, tho investigation into railroad land grants nnfi the counection of Congresgmen thorowith. It 18 not belioved that such a resolution will carry in tho House, a8 it certainly would not pass tho Sonate, DEPANTMENT ' ONANGES, 1t is understood thnt R, B, Cowan, prosent As- sistant Socrotary of tho Interior, has finslly do- cidod to accopt the Commissionership of Indian Affairs. It 18 also stutod that Mr. Ford, of Bt, Louis, will succeed Cowan in the Intorior e~ partment. NONTIERN PAGIFIO RAILROA. Tho agout of the Northern Pacific Railroad at this point wishos it undorstood that the Com- pany does not contemplato making npx{licntlnn to Congress for o guarantco of tho intorest of its bonds, and that all rumors to that effcct are utterly unfounded. INOREASED BALARTES, Membors of the Judiciary Committee of the Houso, in considoring the question of the meas- 1ro of salarion of Members of Congress, havo looked inta tho facts as to tho mileage of the mombors and Benators, It is shown by tho rocords, that tho salarios and allowances of Con- grogsmen are by no moans equalized, somo mombors recorving $1,000 or 31,600 moro than others over and above the exponses of travel- ling, 'This is shown by tho fact that ten of the membora, who recoive tho groater amount of miloago, 'got on an avorage ©1,260 per yeo, whilo® the average of an equal number o thono who recoive the smallest nmount is about &7, Tho highoat amaunt of ulllang&e drawn by s membor Ia that of Delogato Garflold, of Wash- ington Lerritory, who receives 1,768, and tho Towont amount 1 dran by Mr. Morrick, of Ma- ryland, $16,* It in held that Membera and Dole- ates from the Pacifio Const, all of whomn have ‘aciflo Hailrond passes, can come from their homes to Washington for from £200 to %300, poying their mfimnd fores aud all ox- penses, and it s thus shown that their thoso of tho {ay and allowances exceed istern BStatos by about 1,000, The now Dbill of tho Committee proposes to abolish tho milonge of mombers and pay them their actual oxpoutos to Washington.
