"Fhis wna on Chatham strost, which lends from Main streot to tho river. y Upon renching Main street, at the junction of Qhatham, the fire firat swept away a large framo blook belonging to the Wilcox estate, and thon, loaping ncross tho atroot. sot firo to tho hand- romo threo-story block of aix brick storos, which was also owned by the Wilcox hefrs.

THI BANBORN CONTRACTH, Tho Houso then yosumed the considoration of tho report of thé Committos on Ways and Moans on the Sagborn contract, and.was nd- drossed by Mr. BEOK, & membor of that Com- mittee, Mr. BECK spokoof Banborn a8 o man whohad beon paid $213,100:for doing abrolutely nothing oxcopting prostituling officors of ths Govern- ment for {fln own'purpose. Ho hind no hosita- tion In saylng tlmi the whole thing was o sys- tom of corruption, o porversion and overridiny of authority suchyas Lo hind never econ equalad, nod hoped ho wonld vover sco again. 1Mo re- forred to the Imvugnmunb of tho motives of tho Committes in tho editorinls of tho Adminiatra- tion organ, tho Republican, and said that, ne tho Tronsury Depnrtmont had thus throwu down the gauntlet, ho would now say what ho had not in« tondod to eay, that he would mako tho record show that these officiala could not stay in that Deparimont, and that no honest, President could keop them. Ife would not use donuncla- tion. Ho would bring forth atubborn facts, which domanded the impeachmont and which domanded tho conviction of Banborn to the E.T“‘“ii’.o"“ !ufi}:‘l“::nulm:nd h;m:r'x‘fi‘: u,i;;-fi: TPonlitoniinry of the country. Ile doclared that Yower of e Biate |t 4 gn’:’nt N given the Banbor contract was ‘made by Richardson, s acting Secrotnry, tnking ndvantage of the tomporary absencoe of Bautwell, and that undor it Banborn was allowed his 50 por cent in casen whoro indictmeonts wore already ponding, 8o that there could have been no protenso of discovery on tho part of Sanborn. Ho specified par- tloularly the caso of Bimon Horman, thus indicted for whisky fraud, who hed paid $1,000 to tho Government, of which Banborn received one-half, and had also paid a8 a blackmnil oporation $2,000 to A. G. I'ay, onc-half of which ho was told by Fay was to go to Sanborn. Ile citod other cases whero Sanborn was paid 50 per cont on colisctions which were not embraced within his contract, and asked whethor that was not an impenchable offense, Ho roferrod to the promptory ordera givon to Supervisors and ‘C’!clluctoru ‘of Internnl Revenuo to obey John D, Sanborn in all things, which ordors weore signed by the Boorotary, or Solicitor, or Assistant Soc- rotary, thus making Sanborn the absolute mns- tor of all these mon, whilo at tho same timo a aoverely studied silenco in rogard to all theso traneactions had_boen muintained toward tho Commissioner of Internal Reyenue, who was by 1aw the only offloer authorized to rocoive these collections. Roferring to Richardeon’s statoment before the Committes, Lo declared thatit was abso- lutely pitiablo to see aman at the hoad of a roat dopartment of the Government: pleading ?nhnuy ond imbecility as an oxcuse for all hiy acts; that the Assistant Secrotary had stood by and backed his aufler{ur. ench trying to throw the blame on the Bolicitor, and made him appesyr the guilty man, and that the Bolicitor, on_the contrary, had showed that Lo had but oboyod $ho orders of his superiora, Mr. ELDREDGE romarked that Mr. Bock had oharged and sustained the chargo that the Sec- rotary of the Treasury had been guilly of aun impeachable offensp.” If that wero so the Com- mittee on Ways and Moans would not have dono its whole duty until it prosentod to the Housa a resolution of impeachment. The Constitution rrovldud for impeachment, but he knew of no aw by which the House could kick an official, or pull his ear, or pronounce him a rascal. Mr, BECK rominded Mr, Eldrodge that the queation hefore tho Houso was the quostion of ropealing the lnw and annulling these contracts. ‘When the question of impeachment or censure anma np. the spsech of the gontleman from Wis- Convin would t very well. ~ He declsred his bo- lief in Secretary Richardson's honesty, but all hin aots showed him to bo incapablo, to be unflt for his place, and to doserve sevore consure, At tho closo of Mr. Beok’s spaech, the pro- vious question was ordered, snd the mattor went over till to-morrow.
