Having recently met Senator Thurman, we area re- quested to say that he never made such a statement to any one, and are further au- thorized to say that he never speculated in stocks to the amount of one dollar, though be has purchased stocks, as have other mea, as investments. The Senator for two years past has not had, at any time, to exceed $40 on deposit with any bank, banking house, broker or banker, In New York, and never ol ees a broker in New York in his life, and has not owned a dollar’s worth of gov- ernment securities since 1567.” ees THE MARYLAND LEGISLATURE.—In the Maryland senate yesterday Mr. Suit pre- sented resolutions to have public documents at Washington forwarded to the clerks of courts and counties in Maryland and dis- tributed to the people at the expense of the Bters, A Toport against the levying ota poll fax Wa® adop Among the bills fa- vorably read were those to provide for a commission to adjust the boundary between Maryland and West Virginia, to shorten the terms of prisoners in the penitentiary for good bebavior, aud amending the charter of the Western Maryland railroad.

AMENDMENT TO THE RULFS. Mr. Anthony submitted a concurrent reso- lation proposing an amendment to the rules, 80 as to provide for the printing on paper of both enrolled and engrossed bills, instead of writing on parchment as at present, and made some interesting remarks in support of the same. Mr. Sargent said it would be impossible to enter on this system under the present meth- od of dolng business iu the last three days of theression. If it was provided that the 6th ard 17th joint rules should never be <aspend- ed, then it might be done.

Stories About the Democratic Mem- be of Mr. Qlymers Comms Mrs Marsh, mm ms. —The Hereid's Wash- ‘ORK, Marchs special bas the following:—Report ge an ugly charge against the dem. eralers of the committee which de- veloped Mr. Relknap’s crime; one which both sides of the House will, without doubt, investigate at onve. It is asserted that the following is susceptible of proof before a committee of the Honse:—That when Mr. and Mrs. Mersh reached Washington jast Week, ard before the former appeared before the committee, there was @ conference at the Arlirgton between Mrs. Belknap aut Mrs. Marsh, (several other persons being present, #ll being acquaintances, and most of them knowing the facts which Mr. Clymer’s com- mittee was charged to inquire into;) that at that interview M. Marsh, in talking of various transactions of which she knew, slluced tosiatements in circulation tn cer- tain circles In regard to the so-called Pen:tle- ton railroad claims, relating to the Ken- tucky Central railroad; that Mrs. Belkoap faid ‘that the stories were gross exagg u tbat while it had been believed among some of her friends that she received $70,000 from that claim she had, in fact, only ‘re- ceived about balf that amount; tat the friends of Mrs. Marsh assert that if she is ever brought before that committee she wil! undoubted!y testify to the main facts given above. The repub) ican members of the committee Enew boiting of this branch of the subject unt!) Saturday night, and on Mouday morn- ing Mr. Dapford caused a subpoas to be is- sued for Mrs Marsh. But she having, it is snpposed bad an intimation of what was to cone, left for Canade. . It is further asserted, to be susceptible of ington bere b ocrat PRINTING THE DERATES. Mr. Ecmends submitted a resolation that the proceedings and debates in the Senate shall be printed In the Congressional Record exactly as they are taken down, except such grammatical corrections as may be proper, aud the copy shall be delivered in time for the Record of the next moruing. He asked that it be referrea to the Committee on Printing, and asked for it their serious con- sideration. The unfinirbed business, being THE PINCALACK CASE came up, when Mr. West stated that if agree. bie to the Senate he would like. in accord- ance with the notice be had already given, to submit some remarks on the relations of the Pacific roads to the general government. Mr. Anthony hoped this courtesy would be extened to tte Senator from Louisiana. Mr. Fdmunds said it was time to stop the pet Symp in the Pinchback case. It Ought to be disposed of without further delay. Mr. Hitebeock said to day had been set for the consideration of the bill for the admis- sion of New Mexico, and he therefore moved to proceed with !t. r. Edmunds called the ayes and noes, when the question was rejected—ayes, 21; Doer, 39. The resolution for the admission of Mr, Pinchback was then proceeded with. Mr. West took the floor, and said that pro- Lably, without intending todoso, the gen- tieman from North Carolina, (Mr. Merri- mon,) had misrepresented facts in stating that Mr. Pinchback's credentials had never been submitted to the Senate. Mr. Merrimon then asked that the refer- ence in the Pinchback case be read, which was done, when Mr. Merrimon admitted that he had beea misled in the matter, and satis- factorily explained why he was induced to make the statement. Mr. West said that all the presumptions were in favor of Pinchback’s right to a seat iu the Senate. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.—Mr. Hoar called attention to the fact that in the record of to day there was appenited to the speech of Mr. Lamar of yesterday a note which was rot spoken in the debate. He did not wish to complain of the particu- lar act or of thesubject matter, but desired to call attention to a growing evil in th respect, An influential paper had offered to publish the debates ata much less price than was now paid, but the argument was used toat the House could not secure exact accuracy In its reports. Ifthis feature was not retained there was no protection to the members. After some discussion the subject was passed over. THE ATTORNEY GENERAL AND THE WEIS- KY FRAUD TRIALS. The Speaker announced the following gen- ton, Mr. Clymer, and Mr. and Mrs. Marsh made tome of the tour of gether, and that on this journey som: most of the party became gratually xe quainted with the main facts thus far de velop¢d and otners of a similar character; that when it became known here to somr who were of the party that Mr. Clymer had cetermined to bring Mr. Belknap down, be was reminded in poiutel terms tit if be was determined to do this,he must bring Pendleton down too; that Clymer assertet that he had not sufficient data to reach Mr Pendleton; that he was pressed with the re joinder that Mrs. Marsh would testify to tt that the records of the department would throw some ligbton the casi he refused to that, however, o into the matter, and that Mr. larsh were allowed to go off without an attempt being made to ascertain whether they could throw any light upon the Pendleton case. These are very grave charges, but itis very positively asserted here that they are sus- ceptible of proof, if the House will summon the witnesses. It is a singular fact that there has been, for some days past, a noticeable disinclination among some democrats to push investigations. It is not meant to charge that any considerable number of democrats discourage investigation, but it is certain that sore do.
