THE “POLITICAL BILL.” CAUCUS SPEECHES ON THE MEASURE. rectal Dupatch to The Chicano Trioune, ‘Wasurseros, D. C., Feb. 13.—The bill adopted fast night by the House Republican caucus has Deen the principal topic of discussion to-day. There isa very marked division among the Re- publicans as to tho proprie:y or necessity of the passage of the bill, and it eeems evident that without very important moiifications, especially, inthe 14th setcion, is cannot become a law. ‘rose Repullicans who were not present at the caucus, or who, being present, opposed the vil, do not feel that they sre bound by the action of the caucus, ‘and consider themmelves at liberty to antagonize the bill when it shall be presented to the House. ‘The bill is opposed by whatare Known as moderate or conservative Republicans, both on the ground of its alleged illegality and unconstitutionality, nod that itis neither necessary norjexpedient, The drift of the sentiment among Republicazs ont of cancusmsy be taken fron: the speeches which were delivered in csucus ih oppomtion to the bill, and which, owing to the oxtreme secresy, and the late hour at which the caucus adjoarned last right, coul3 not pe accurately reported. Those wwho favored the bill nzed’ really but one argu- ment. They thought that the disturbed condi- tion of the South is indication of an unwilling- ess on the part of the Souikera whites to ac- cept the reanlts of the War, and of s de- ermjnation on their part, and dy whaterer means, to make a united white-Democratic South. To accomplish this purpose the Whito Leaguers sillses to itthat the colosed voters ‘are meecure in pereon and rropertr Fo long as thoy refdse to vote the Democratic ticket. It yas urged tbat the caucus bill would do same- thing to protect electors in their richte, preserva the penity of the ballot, and protect Southern Republicans against Whits League oppression. TRE OPPOSITE SENTIMENT may be gathered from the speeches of those who opposed the b lt, an accurate analvsis of some cf which follows: Jasper D. Ward, ef Chicago, initusted the more particnlar political features of the debate.by ssomowhat melancholy referonce 40 the condition and prospects of the Republican He took ‘very sdvanced Republican eit that the South is a scene of deso- that the temper of the Sonthern white people against the General Gcvernment Ys as bad or worke tnan it was before the outbreak of the Wsr, and that the South is nowina state of practical rebellion. Under such circumutances be thought that the Rapub- Yican perty.is beiug used by the leaders asa means to step from one office to another, while thoue to whom the party Jooks for xuidance are too cowardly to initiate or execute the measures nececeaiy for the preservation of party life. He thoueht, therefore, thatthe cancus was likely to be the last caucus in tho. last Congress of which Beputlicans would have control, and that the pereons present Were celebrating the faneral obsequies. He called upon Speaker Biaino to show his hand at the wake. ELAINE RESPONDED, and, in reply tothe allusion of the obsequies, deniedthat he had come to participate in any such proceedings. It had not beenthe custom of all Spoxkers to attend caucuses, mt be came 28 & member Of, tho Republican party. Mr. Blaine confined his re- marke to that section of the bill proposiag to garpend, at the discretion of the President, the writ of habeas corpus thronghort the United Ststes. He said that it was uncalled for, and ho could not consent to go before bis constituents in Maine acd esy thet ho hsd voted for the sus- pension of the writ of habeas corpus there to cure s disturbance in Lonisiaon. He thought it was unjust, also, to pat all the South together in acommoa denutcia- tion; that itis our daty to discriminate—the Btates of Virginia, North Carolina, and Tannes- ses, for example, which are getting along with reasonable pesca and qciet, within whose borders there was no porsible demand for the suspen- sion of the wnt of habcaus corpus. If the writ be suspended et all, be ssid (aud it must be remembered that the President of the United States: has not asked for it) toe suspension should apply to specific localities in which the irregularities and outrages are 60 grave as to defy the ordinary administration of thelaws. For himself, bo would never consent to familiarize the American people with an easy end frequent suspension of this great writ. Especially would ue resist having it suspended in tbe North on ins pretext that it eonle be neccesary or usofal in suppressing dis- orders in the Soath. This provomtion for a suspension of the writ, unlike all previous ones, proposes to put it into the hans of the Presi- ent of the United States. as # permanent power. no matter who the President may be. Bpeaker Diaine said that, while he felt himsclf willing to put this groat truet in the hands of President Grant, he dii not feel willing to com- mit bimaalf to fasure Presidents that might be chosen. - TT WAS A DANGEROUS POWER. Gen. Garfield said that in 1871, in viow of the almost unznimons opinion of the Republiceus in Congress and the country, there was a state of anarchy, amounting almost to rebcilion, in the Southern States. Congress authorized the Presi- dent to susrend the right of the writ of habeas corpus, under a proviso carefully limited and re- strained, and which provided that the suspeo- gion should not extend beyond s period of ten aud one-balf months, ending 3 4, 1872. The hmitation was surgested, too, tbat 0 one should have the right to esy that this vaut power was piacod in the hands of the chief execative officer during the pendency of a Presi- . dential election. This suepentim expired by its own limitstion nine mouths before the election of 1872. At the present time, however, there is po suck general unanimity among Re- publicans with ect to the disturbed condition of affairs io the South as there was in 1872. ‘The South may be worse than iz pictared, but it is not so unanimously believed as it was in 1872. Sec. 14 of the bill proposes an indefi- nite and permanent supension of this writ, and proposes to put it in force eighteen months before the Presidential election, and that itsball ron without limit. It proposes not only to suspend the writin the disturbed districts, but ‘thronghout the United States. from Maine to Californis. Thie, Gen. Garfield thought, was a press 80 broad snd sweeping in its terms 23 we JUSTLY ALAHM THE MACS OF THE AMERICAN : PEOPLE. As & political measure, hs thought it would bring more lose than gain. He was willing to go as far as the farthest in prytecting the rights of citizens within tbo limits of the Constitution, but ho believed that this measure, in its present formu, would not cure the evil He suid if it was adopted it would be charged that it was done 28 an inetramentality ‘for mans the Presidential election, and some ‘would be likely ts say to enable the Preadent to secure a third term. .

OF WNICH THE FOLLOWING ARE SPECTYENS. Speciat Dispatch to Lhe Chicaco Tribune Wasntyarox. D. 0., Feb. 18—The Pacific Mail Stefmship Company is ovidentty plying 3 game of bluff. Rufas Hatch was examined to- day by the Committee on Ways.and Means. He anbmitted a aworn statement, which was nothing moro than an argument. The Committeo were yery uawilling to hear {t, but Fernando Wood, for reasons which did not appear. inaisted tbat itshould be beard. The whole purport of tho line of defense of the Pacific Mail Company is to prove that the officers of the Company had no knowledge that any more than $10,090 of the Company's funds were to be used by Irwin in Washington in conrection with the subsidy. No member of the Committee belioved 2 word of this, and no impartial person who hus watched this investigation closely in and- out of the Committce can fail to believe that s considerable number of the then Di- rectors bad then full knowledge that Isrge amounts of money were being used. The key-note of the morality of the Pacific Mail Directors was given by ono of them In New York, who admitted that whether he would notify or decline to notify the stocsholders of fraud in the management woul! depeud upon whether ho wae himself loog or sbort of the stock. 3 ‘A SPECIMEN GAYE | of the Company's bluff is shown in the follow- ing letter, which is printed bere this evening: Ywasarxatos, D, O., Feb. 13, 1873.—Clark Bell, Exq Attorney for the Paryle Mail Steamship Company: You will, withott delay, notify exch and evory person whuse names have Leen testified to as having received any partof the money sbstracted from the Pacific Mail Steamship Company by A.B.

THE NOTED DILLON, 2 former cashier of the Sargent-at-Arms, who lives almost within sight of che Capitol, has at last been found. He appeared this morning, and was examined in cecret session. The members of the Committee state that his whole testimony wag absurd aod nvimportant, and that they have rot decided whether they shall make it public. Dillon himself privately gives more information than the Committee. He says thet his conneo- tion with the matter originated in a jest. He boarded with Kerr, then 8 member of the Wavs and Means Committee, when the stories of cor- ruption were cuirent. Dillon mentioned the fact thet a considerable number of Congressmen about that time had seked him, at the of- fice of the Sergeant-at-Arms, to change 1,000 bills, which be did. Kerr, to Dillon’s surprise, summoned the latter before the Com- mittee, when be made his statement two years ago. That statement was that a considerable number of Congressmen, the name3 of some of whom he fave, chavged such biils. He does not remember the number. He believes there wero more than six. It is believed to have been stated by the former Committee that Dillon ¥ knowledge of twenty-one Con- shia who had so exchanged thousand- loltar bills, That testimony, Dillon sara, the Committee agreed to ignore, and permitted him to withdraw. Dillon etatesthat he bomself subsequently both destroyed the testimony and destroyed all trace of it iu his memorv. He said to-day in secret seasion thst ke had no additional testimony to give beyond what he stated two vearsago. That testimony is not on record in tbe Committee-room, and was pot trans- mitted to this Congress, but the shart- band notes are believed = to be in the possession of the then official reporter. Dilr's statement as to the exchnoge of the bills is quite consistent with Ordway’s explasations of the methods of businces of the office, The lat- ter said that it was the custom to sead euch large bills directly to the Treasury in envelopes, sitnoas making 8 record of them upon the oaks. WETTIXG, coworker with Bill King. arrived here this even- ing. and mysteriously put up at the Ebbitt Honse, He seemed disposed to conceal for the time bia presence in Washington, but the Ser- geant-at-Arms bad kept a clove watch, and Whit- ing-had hardly reached his room before a Dep- uty-Sergeant, unaer an assumed name, served bim with a procesa. Whiting has now become 5 witness under the sur~eiltance of the Committce. « [xo tne Assonated Press.) WATCU'S CARED. Wasnrsctox. D. C., Feb. 13.—Rufus Hatch was before the Ways and Means Committee of the Honse to-day, and rend a long statement, denying that the Pacific Mail Steamship Compa- py had acthorized Irwin's exnenditures in Dos- ton. Irwin's relations to the Company were only those of San Fraaciecs agent, at a salary of 910,000 per yoar. Any statement of Irwin to the contrary was absolutely a.farce. A. H. Whiting is in Washington, readv to teatify. * (PHS SUBSIDY QUESTION IN THE SENATE. In the Senste to-day Mr. Edmunds, from the Judiciary Committee, to whom was referred the resulution of Mr. Bogy instructing that Com- mittee to inquire into the expediency of repeal- ing the law granting subsidy to tho Pacific Alail Steamelup Company, reported the following sub- stitute: ‘Peacleed, That the Committee on the Judiciary be, and hereby is, instructed to inquire and report whether the United Brates, orany Dssartmeat of the Govern- ment, is legally bound to no# carry into efe.t any contract mead 1 purenant to the act of Jane 1, 1872, Te specting additional mail service between San I'ran- cisco, China, and Japan, ‘Agreed to. : * LEVISLATIVE LOBBYING.

LOUISIANA. > VIEWS OF MEXBEES OF TUE INVESTIGATING CoM- ‘MITTEX. Special Dispatch to The Chicace Tribune. Wasuinetox, D. C.,.Feb. 18.—The Louisiana Committee have returned. Tho members ara unwilling to give any official statemen: of their views, pending the consideration of the compro-. mise proposition. It is known privately, howev- er, that ths Republican members of the Com- mittee, who were suspected of Conservatism, gre outspoken in advanced Republican senti- ments, They say that the terrible condition of sffaira of Louisians cannot bedescribed. There is vractically no Government there. Kellogg they find weak rather than wicked. He bas no strength, and could aot maintain himself aéayif the troops were withdrawn. Sberidan is despwed by the White League element, but his presence has a good and perceptible effect. The vest element among the Conservatives FAVORED THE FIEST PROFOSITION OF COMPRO- SE, but they did not dare to openly advocate their sentimente, and were overawed by the contro!liug clique. The dominant force of the Democrats is a small cabal of wild, violent, reckiess men, who control affairs throughout the State. They can dictate to the masses, and manage tnem for dangerous purposes. Their iotluence is such that the best Conservatives aare not speak. It is noteworthy that tha Republican members of the mittee are much less conser~ vative on the question of the proposed suepen- sion of corpus than some of their associ- ates bere. They rerm to think that come sd- ditioual legialation tx necessary to keep in check tho dangerous classes. . —— CONGRESSIONAL RECORD.
