TARDOX AFTER BLAINE.—Mr. Tarbox,of Massachusetts, managed to-day to get his resolution adopted by the House to investi- Lo the transactions of the Union Pacific ailroad Company with the Little Rock and Fort Smith road of Arkansas. It is worded in such &@ Way that while it is intended as a backhanded blow at Mr. Blaine, the latter caunot take cognizance of it. Tarbox is the democratic member who, by some means unknown, secured @ copy of Mr. Biaine’s j currency speech, and prepared an answer thereto to be delivered on the same day Mr. Blaine addressed the House. He appears to | be after Blaine. | A WATER HAUL—Mr. Clymer's commit- tee yesterday summoned from Baltimore a man named Lewis Lb. Harrison. Some one had told Clymer that he could “squeal” and would if he was manipulated properly. To day he was in the committee room. The members went at him as if he knew all about the Fort Sill post tradership. He was amazed. He didn't even know where Fort Sill was.

This is ‘the secon! witness from Baltimore who has been sunimoned to tes- i lily about matters of which he Knew no- } thing. CONGRES3 YESTERDAY. — Mr. Blatine’s statement in the House of Representatives | yesterday afternoon in reference to the story about his having bonds of the Kansas Pa- cifle railroad which he had not patd for, | with the letters which he submitted show’ | ing the origin aud falsity of the slander; the | ‘etter of Hailet Kilbourn to the Hous fering to show bis books aud papers to the | “real estate pool” committee and to answer | any questions in reference thereto; a brief | reportof the proceedings in the Belknap impeachment trial, and other matters of in- terest, are printed under the Congressional head on our third page.

The Insane Asy) westigati: THE TESTIMONY TO DAY. The Committee on Expenditures in the Interior Department resumed their invest!- gation of the affairs of the U. S. insane | asylum this morning: Dr. Bastman, at ita physician at the Massachusetts insane asylum, at Worcester, Mass., and formeriy connected with the U: 8. lpsane asylum, was examined at length, Snd particularly in relation to the witness Darling, who testified against the manage- ment of the asylum. Dr. Eastman testified that Dr. Nichols always went through ali the wards it was the best day for a general in FE and was the rule of the army. Dr. N Is Was always ready to visit any putient when he asked him todo so. Dangerwas patients Were always put in rooms by themselves. Dificulties sometimes occur between pa- tients in the wards, or when two or more were put in the same room: in such cases they were separated. He deniea that thres soldiers Were killed there, or were buried at night time. There were no deaths caused by Violence whilst he was an assistant physi- cian there, in 18s or 1867. Such a thing was not possible. there he wouln have heard of it. also went by the name of Atkins. Darting Darling No burials ever took place at midnight. was usual to bury at dark, forobvious rea- Fons. Ro patients wouid not be exelied about it. There was no particular preparation for ‘Ail patients were dressed up a little on Sunday morniag. The ents were at times allowed the privileges of the grounds for exercise.

Attendants who would strike pa- ents weresimmediately discharged. In re- gard to the food 1t would occasiovally hap- pen that meat unfit toeat was furaisned, but 1b was unavoidable. Suca meat was always sent back wnen it was discovered not to be good. Knew Oliver Ambrose, a boy, who was @ patient there in 1865. He Was @ patient there twice, being in the asylum forty-five days the first tlme, aud less than & month the second time. There was no age given in any of the papers in relation to him. Estimated that his age then was certainly seventeen. There were sores upon him, but tnere were no verminon bim. He was as clean when he left the asylum as when he came there. A letter was read from Mrs. Ambrose, dated on the day when he was pat in the asylum, wherein she says that he had veen In pad health for seven years, and that he had wan- dered about in Baltimore for a week before he was sent there, and that he must have caught the skin disease that he was troubled wiih during the time he was in Baltimore. Dr. Eastman testified that he was not at the asylum when the patient was at first admitted, nor did he remember how much of @ wardrobe was seat there with him. Have no recollection of telling Mrs. Am- broke that her boy tore up his clothing. Vents in bis condition frequentiy destroyet their clothing. Never told Mra. Ambrose that she could not see her son, or tuathe was so violent that he would kill her; has no re- collection of the interview with Mrs. Am- brose when she was accompa y Brakesly, of the Patent Otlice son. Anditor of her gon most of her testimony which was read re- garding tnis affair as fabulous. Tuere was no such place or stairs as she described. Her son's condition was not such as she de. scribed. He was tin tn flesh, bat it was to- taily faise that he fell away while there from 155 to95 pounds. It waa not impossible that his clothing might have beeo torn as she described, but bad no recollection in re- gard to the case. Think she wes mistaken. id not think that her statement was true that he was covered with vermin. It was absurd that the vermin had eaten holes in his back. He may have hal soras on his back, as he had askin disease when he came there. Have no distinct recollection that his eyes were black, or that his arms were bine. Another portion of Mrs. Ambrose’s testi- mony was rcad, showing that it was Lr. Franklin, and not Dr. Eastman, who ac- companied her to the strong room in which her son was confined. Dr, Nichols was recalled and testified that the reference made to him by Mrs. Ambrose tlat “she dashed the dirty, veimin-covered shirt which she found oa her son,” over Dr Nichols’ head, saying “I will cover you with the-vermin that you puton my son,” is un- true. Would not forget such @ thing if it occurred. It lg unquestionably in bis mind & pure creation. Judge Join W. Wright testified that his son, Who was an inmate of theasylum, was very kindly treated, and that he was allowed to see him every time he called at the asylum for that purpose. The committee then adjourned until to- morrow morning. GEN. REYNOLDS has telegraphed to Chalr- man Clymer that upon returning from the field be saw for the first time the testimony of Gen. McCook, given before his committee on the 21 of March. He adds: -‘It is abso. iutely false so far as it refers to my being in any manner in collusion with contractors, or having received valuable presents from them.’ GREAT BRITAIN DISREG ARDING THE EX- TRADITION TREaTY.—Our government has official notice that the British authorities will release Winslow, the Boston forger, to- morrow, the 3d day of May. The action of the British government in this case is con- sidered by the administration as completely Riping out the Ashburton treaty. The Pre- sident will in @ few days send to Congress all the papers and a relating to this case, and will probably accompany the same with a special message. It is ex- pected that Congress by joint resolution will recognize the abrogation of the treaty. Mr. WM. J. MURTAGH, proprietor of the Natimal Republican, was before the Free t- man’s Bark Committee this morning. He testified that he had borrowed $1,200 from the bank ana had paid itback. Toemain object in summoning the witness seemed to be a desire on the partof the chairman to kaow who was responsible for the article in the Kepublican of the 26th ult., which set forth that he (Douglass, chairman of the con+m)i- lee, had used the money appropriated for tue committee to reward lis constituents and a journalist. Mr. Murtaza said be had not read the [age op an until after it was printed but that he was making an investigation of the matter. Mr. Douziass then took the stand and under oath went on to make a long explanation by way of denial. He con- cluded by stating that either the writer or bis Informant was a liar. That settled it and the committee adjourned. A LEGISLATOR EXPELLED.—The Penn- Sylvania house of representatives yesterday, after ten hours’ discussion, ag! to expel E. J. Petrof, a member from Philadelphia, for conduct unbecoming a representative. The accusation was that Petroff had negoti- ated with lobbyists who were urging the passage of the boom bill, to obtain fourteen votes in their favor for $7,500. Petroff denied any pase gt Motive, but insisted that his sole object hed been to ascertain whether money was being used to the bill, and to those by whom it was so employed. The evidence proved that he did not receive a dollar, but the house considered that the negotiation was improper, and therefore decided on expulsion. Tar Wry; Case.—The British cab- inet have determined to adhere to their sition not to return the Boston swindler, Winslow, lo the United States, as requested by our government, beers | to begovernod by the act of Parliament of 1570, which pro- LOW | vides that the British governmeut shall in- sist upon the insertion in all future extra- dition treaties of a provision making such _ treaties inoperative upless assurance be | given that the accused shall not be tried for ap ice other than that with which he is charged. Winslow, in the meantime, will be unconditionally disebarged. ee es CUTTING OUT ViCksBUR: from Vicksburg, April 26, 8a: ‘or Ume steamboat men have icted tha’ sooner or later the river would find its way Ubrough the cut-off on the insula just South of the old site of De Soto, te this city.

The pack- age of original letters of Schenck and Parke, which were sent from London by McDougal, President of the Emma Mining company, were for the first time submitied to public inspection. MR.
