CONCLUSIONS OF THE COMMITTEE. Special Manateh to The Chieuso Tribune, Wasutxotox, D. 0., Feb. 27,--Tho Ways and Mosns Committco to-day prosented tothe tours tholr roport in the Pacific Mall investigation, It ig o weak and cowardly documont, It adopts, at least by iuference, the theory of Itufus Hatch, that tho corrupiion fund of nearly 31,000,000 wag lost in the gigantio stock apeculations of A, B, Stockwell, whilom Prosl- dent of the Pacific Mall Company. Tho Com- taitteo, of cours, has o right to adopt this view, but whon a Jarge bulk of tho fund has been traced {n clono proximity to Congress it seems pecnliny that tho Committee should have adopted a theory which fow oulsdo of the broken fobbing Pacific Mail directory boliove, Somo of tho fund may have been lost in the Wall-etreet vortox, bit when nearly half a miliion dollurs has been ab- volutely traced to the doors of Congress, aud strong ciccumstantial evidence corroborates tne Presampuon, tho conviction iy inovitavla that wome of tho thloves' polf WENT INAIDE THE DOORS OF CONGRERA, This overy fair-mluded man who bas heard the evidenco believes. Yet of this the Committco ive uointimation, On tha contrary, whother intentional or not, no eilent hand “seems to Lave utretcbed over tho history of tho fund after ithad boon traced tothe doors uf Con- gress. ‘Tho Committee admit that they havo found the names of parties to whom payments wore made by Irwin to the amount of $703,- 100. Few persons who have heard the evi- dence believed that any considerable portion if any at all, of this sum has found its way back to Srockwaoll, and few belicve that the then Di- roctors of tho Pacifico Compauy sro tha immacu- tute innocents which their testimony would have us bolieve, They, on the contrary, have vory diiferent codo of othica, as shown in the ovidence of one of tho principal Directory, who sald thatjwhother or not ho would be han- eat with his stockholders would depend upon the fact whether ho was long or whort of the stock.

This weoms fair enough, but iv view of the fact that Congress has already ontabhshod an immutable precedent that no Congcess has jurisdiction over tho acts of avy members of tho preceding Congress, this evasion of responuibilty is not courageous, Dill King is beyond the jurine diction of thie House, but Johu G. Schmuacker wat in lid soat to-day, when it cannot be doubted that ho ought tobo espolled. Thia Congress certainly has firtedistion over him, while the jurisdiction of his offense by the next Congress isdenied. The Commities, however, do wildly way that King’s testimony has '* royealed cuntra- dictions of the mout painful character,” and that Schumakor's testimony * croated a paluful uppreesion.” Ae TO THE CORRESPONDENTS the report 1s convplovouwly unjust, The namo of uu correspondent ia mentioned, but the gon- eral slatemout js mado that persona ontitled to the privileges of the correspondents’ galteries have been engagud{n thove practices, Theodium of this nofarious business scemy to bo loft by tho Committea upon the currespondents, appatontly 84 @ clase, without diatinetion of porsouw, while whatoyor guilty perions thore may be are imado in appearance to guffer no more than tho entire community of journallets.
