C., Fob. 17.—The Poland Committeo did not roport to-day, na was expeot- od, and tho situation to-night, as far as known, is unchanged. The charactor of the report, notwithstanding the oxtraordinary offorta of some of the leading Republicans who fill the highest oftices, to chango or {nfluence tho courso of the Committeo, will be substantially what hag horotofore been roported, unloss a change is made at tho meeting of the Committeo to-mor- row momlqg. Mombora of the Committee say . membors were bribed without knowing that the report will certainly bo made to-morrow, and from other oqually good smources it is cortain, as proviously stated, that tho roport will Le in favor of expelling Oakes Ames and James Drooks. Bo far os the cases of Kolley, Garfiold, Bingham, Dawes, Scofield, and Hooper aro concornod, tho report will not, as heratoforo supposed, censuro some and report In favof of tho complete vindicationof others, but will stato tho facts in esch case in on opltomo of tho testimony, and will not recom- mond any actlon by the Houso, but will leave tho facts to roceiva such action as membars may propose. The Committce will, however, point out and make much of tho er- enco Helween membors who put their money into the Crodit Mobiller stook a8 an investmeont, and those who were put in on what Ames called tho ground flodr, and were fiivelx stock in such a way ag to allow the divi. ends to {;y tho original cost. The right of members to buy stock and pay for it is not ques- tionod by the Committes, except on the ground of proprioty, the real offect of the Committoo's sction evidently boing to show that ;::rtuls an that as 80on a8 tho charactor of Ames' transac- tions was known they receded from their pur- chases and ot back their money, recoivingno dividend and no benefit, The rea- sons for the unfavorable action in the case of ‘Amos aro not that he ocorrupted those men in 1868, as it 1ia confessedly tho opinion of many lawyers on tho floor that & member cannot justly e expolled for acts committed before he becamo & member ; that ia to eay, the present Oongross cannot justly expel Ames for what ha did in tho Fortioth. e ground which the Committee will probably take is that Lis briberyis continu- ous, reaching, according to his own tostimony, . oven into tho present Congrass, for ho ackmowlodged to bo l:t in pos- sossion of cortain stock and dividends belong- ing to Benatorasnd Members, and that dividon nro yot due some of tho finngtesmnn. Itis Fenenfly conceded that ono of "the mosat oxclt- ng and acrimonious - discussions which ever ocourred will bo witnessed to-morrow, and the loaders on both sides will participate. .- General Butler, for instanco, who has no love for Gar- fleld, Ibnwoa, or Eolloy, excitedly declares that he will not allow Amoes to bo sacrificed if ho can help it; that tho whole proceeding is a compromise between the ~Committoomon, and that Ames, if anything, is less guilty than some of thie othora ; that they are all bad onongh in both Housos, and it is s littlo strange that, while all the truly good mon in both Houses have boon overtakon with this Credit Mobilier disense, he has not beon affacted by it. He re- garda this as cspeclally strange, sinco he is tho subject of almost constant abuso, whila tho gentlemon interested haye beon hithorto the subjocts of gonstant praiso, Itiseald he re- marked to-dey that the political Jamba have takon' away the sins of the world to such an oxtent that they have a monopoly. It in belloved that, while he will not make the mo- tion himself to includo-othors in the expulsion regolution, he will, nevertheless, soe that it is dono, sndsupport its passago with all his vigor. Mr, Voorhees, on tho Domaoratia sido, is also understood to rogard tho conolusions of the Committee, if correctly roported, 88 & compro- mige vordiot, & sort of small tub throwntoa large whalo, and ho will opposo tho expulsion of olther Ames or Brooks. Morgan will not only favor, it is said, . in his excitement the expulsion of all, but also the impeachment of Mr, Colfux, and {f ho gets into a frenzy, sa sometimes happens, ho may favor the expulsion of the two Credit Mobilior Committees. Becl, al8o & Democrat, will, on the other hand, opposs expulsion. Farnsworth, a cordial hator of But~ ler, if tho Iatter takes any conspiouous or offen~ eive part in the procoedings, will probably an- tuqonlzo him, and, if a heated dobate follows, will pisbably move to includo Butlor's name in the list to'be expelled, on_the ground that he recelved £6,000 from tho Union Pacific Road nominally for sorvices as an ntlomn{ but, really to gain Lis influonce in Congress, although Gen- coral Butlor was not & momber of Congress atthe time, but it was'expected ho would be. TILE OENEUS, Tho House Appropriation Committeo have ;Fruad to npgmmh\!o 890,000 to onnble Colonel arrington, u}lurlntnndenc of tho Consus, to ation] atlas and print & fow thou- #aud coples for use by Government officors, and to bo deposited in libraries, &o., 88 tho ofiicial otlas s to survoys, statistice, and other inter- esting frots for a book of roference, to contain the mnps, &o., to bo ofiicially corraof and tho fig- ures trustworthy, TOOR.PATTERSON. Bonator Patterson's systom of falschood oul- minated to-day bofore the Bonale Oredit Mobi- lior Committeo, when L, P, Morton, the Senator's Now York banlor, tosiifiad to the fact of having discoyered o Enulmge of Oredit Mobllior stock in his wafo with Bounator Patterson’s name on tho ouvelope, It will bo rocollected that Patterson, somo timo ago, tostified that Lo bad couferred with his Now York bauker on the subjeot, and that tho latter had stated that he nover recolved ruy of the stock from Pattorson. Tho tosti- mony to-day was another confirmation of " tha story of Amos, and all atlempts on tho part of Pattorson to break it down were fruitless. A sickly effort was made byeome of Patterson's friends to malke 1t nlss oar that Ames loft tho package with Morton, Bfiés & Co., but this falled misorably.

Horlon has alroady sont his rosignation to the Attornoy Gonoral, by Frank Iacon, & mombor of tho.

DBoth Bimpson and York, who' soem to have charge of the proscoution, say they are in carnost that thoy aro baoked by the peoplo of -Kaneas, and thoy will not atdp until every dishonost man in Kankas In decapitdtod, . Thoy soy. tho Siato is wild with oxoltemdnt § .that: mectings are bain held anll over tho Btate; and.that.tho reign o such mon as Pomoroy and Osldwoll is at.an end. The mveutlfitlou into Pomoroy's cago bogan to-dny .with tho oxaminatlon of Stite Bonator York: York's statoment was as cloar ns the noonday suni. He told with d sincority that was impressive, of his various intorviews with Pom- eroy, and of receiving from him 7,000 for his eloglo voto, Tho cross-examinailon to which York was subjected by United Btates District Mtomgr Horton, of Topeka, rdinforced by Oalob Cushing, was ono of the most scarching snd skilful imaginablo. This cross-oxamination had for ita objoot to show that York was etgaged in a conmspirncy to rain Pomeroy; that ho ingratiatod himself into Pomeroy's confidence to nooomplish it; that ho has beon inconsistont’ in tho nunmforous explanations which ho las mado of tho affair; that enoufih timo olapsod botweon York's being searched and his visit to Pomoroy to have ¢nabled him to have ralsed tho 7,000, which ho claima'to have boen_paid him for his voto, from other sources, and that his whole conduct makes his avidenco unworthy of belief.

Bosides the ovidence of theso responsiblo witnosses, there will Lo tho strongost -kind of Eroofn brought forward to convict Pomeroy of ribery. tx < OALDWELL. 2 Tho report of the Seuato Committes on Privi- loges and Eloctions in tho case of Caldwell will come up on Baturday noxt. Tho peculiar foa- ture of tho roport, dnclurlnf tho seat vacant, will only make a majority voio necessary to sus- tain, sud 1t is pradicted will bo easily forth- coming, : i A ongrlous u'psntwlo to-day was to witness the number of carpot-bag” Senators who went to Oaldwoll's scat, to ‘shake hands ‘hhn support.

Mr, Wilson is at work night and day on thetext of tho work, and Mr. Hoar is helping on cortain branches. The Committec's re- port, 1t is underatood, will be of sensational im- portance, but its import is not kmown.
