Judge Poland's special committee to inquire into the distribution ef credit mobilier stock among members of Congress, resumed its ses- sion this morning at 10 o'clock, and Hon. John Beatty, of Ohio, was sworn and examined by Hon. Job Stevenson, of the same state, who introduced the resolution direeti the inquiry into the Dubuque and Sioux City road. Mr. Beatty testified that he had A CONVERSATION WITH MR. STEVENSON on the day before that gentleman introduced the resolution in the House. Mr. Stevenson then said he had received certain information from Mr. Ames. . What did he say Mr. Ames said? : He said Mr. Aines told him the Speaker was interested in the Dubuqne and Sioux City . After the resolution passed Mr. Ames came t# my desk and asked me who put Ste- yenson up to that. He subsequently asked the fame question, and said STEVENSON WAS ON THE WRONG TRACK. Judge Poland.—You heard no conversation between Mr. Ames and Mr. Stevenson? A. No, sir. Judge Merrick.—BMr. Ames did not allude to any previous conversation he bad with Mr. Ste- venson? A. Xo. sir. Mr. Stevenson then stated that upon consid- eration he remembered that upon the same day and after he had introduced the resolution, Mr. Ames did talk to him more fully and freely than before. Previous to introduciag the resolution he had frequent conversations with Mr. Ames. They occupied seats at the same table at the Arlington Hotel, and had tormed a very plese i When this investigation begam Mr. Ames said, in a humorous way, he better leave. Witness replied that he ‘had not been found guilty of ang thing vet, and had better stay. He and Mr. Amos frequent conversations atthe hotel and on the way to the Capitol, during which he had gathered the information upon which his resolution was based. Witness would have included the Sioux City and Pacific road in his resolution, but he had understood that sate Wilson’s committee would take cognizance of that road. Mr, Ames told witness one day that he would give him a book showing the transactions of that road, bnt requested him not to nse it against his (Ames*) friends. Witness inquired who his friends were, and he replied Mr. Allison and Mr. Wilson (J. F.) Witness said he could not promise that, amd upon obtaining a copy of the book subsequently from Judge Wilson's committee, Mr. Ames gave him a copy also. Mr. Ames generaily stated at breakfast what it was proposed to give the com- mittee that day. TION ON MR.

He desired to say that there were no discrepancies as to the number of dividends de- clared on credit wobilier stock, but the papers had got mixed up the dividends on credit mo- bilier and those made under the Ames contract The dividends mace by the trustees nnder the Cakes Ames contract had nothiug to do with 1.—Oh! well, we have the wh Mr. Alley, and we as well 3 every one else can form a’ opinion about ho the matter was done.
