RAILROADS, RAILROAD EARNINGS, The Now York Commercial and Financial Chronicle turnishes sa advance sheot of railroad oarnings in February, From it it appears that tho earnings in tho month of ¥ebruary wora oxcoptionnlly good as compared with the corro- sponding mooth of 1875.

Ar, Clymer gald hio would leave tho Houso and country to judge of that, If tho statement of the gentleman from Now York was correct, then it was Impossiblo for tho statements mado by the other four members of the Committoo to ba cor- roct. 1lo wished to_stato, once for all, that if any member of tho Cormitioe (whon witnoss Marsh left tho room) bad mnisde tho slightost snggostion that ho shonld bo' rotamed, neither himaolf nor any othor membor of the Commit- teo would havo mado tho slightest objoction, 'Fo etata that ho (Clymor) was rospousible for Marsh's dischargo moro than any other membor of the Committeo was to atato what waa nelther Jnat nor fair, 1o was williug to share tho full responsibility for it with ovory ather momber of tho Committeo, 1fo repeatod his boliof that thoro was no logal powor in tho Committeo to have detnined l‘inmh, and that Lis dotention hs the Committos would have been an outrago an: wiong, Experiences, “fle Explains How ‘the Democratic i Members Monopolized the Wit- ness Marsh, And How Anxious They Were that Ho Should Leavo Wash- ington, A Hint upon Which Marsh Acted, and Hied Him to Montreal.

Wamumaroy, D, O, March 10.—It is utterly impossible for Olymer's Committes to escape the reaponsibility for Marsh’s departuro from this city and his flight to Canada. Tho claim of the Democratio mombors of tho Committoe tuat they bad no pawer or right to hold him after Lis cxsminatlon was closed, ond to have de- wained tho witness further would Lave beon to commit nn assault npon him, 18 too proposter- ously sbsurd to Lo soberly considorod, ‘The Domocrata on tho' Comumiltes, constitutiog tho ruling majority, aro of courso rosponsiblo for oy- erything which is dono-by it, and their alechargo of Marsh was cithor duo to their igoorance of tho Iaw in regard to Impeachmont, and based on tho boliof that tho writton statement to which witnoss bad sworz could bo nsod s ovidenco in the impeacbment ttial, or waa a blunder incident to tho excitoment of the cccasion.

DASS' EXTLANATION, Bass, in_his porsonal explanation this after- noon, fixed tho rosponsibility for Marsh's cscape upon the Demooratic members of the Clymer ‘'ommittes boyond tho poseibility of n cavll, Thero is probably no instazce in political history in which a majority has ao grossly violated par- linmentary law and usage and sannumnnly conr- - tesy to gnin » partisan end, Tho repliod of the Domocrats to Bass' terrifle arraignmont wero evasions, to tho oxtent that they woro not blus- toring rhodomontade. Bass plainly convicted tho Domoorsts from tha record and tho attendant oreumstances, It is shown by the records that the first meeting of the Cominittce in the case agalust DBolknap wos nob on n rogular Committeo day; that it was an extrnordinary meeting in the afternoon while tho Houso was tn goesion, snd Bass and Danford, though in the Housan, wore given no mnotico of it, hoy did not know thint Marsh had beon summoned, The whole affair. appears to havo been doliborately MI.
