THE GOL® CONSPIRACY INVESTIGATION, Senator Ramsey’s Postal Tele- graph Bill. The Monopoly Lobby Already at Work. : Admission of Senator Johnson, of Virginia. WASHINGTON, Jan. 28, 1870. Wretched Condition of Affairs in Washington Evils of African Legislation. ‘The Senate Committee on the District of Columbia to-day for three hours entertained a raft of darkies by interrogating them in relation to matters inter- esting to themselves. Hamlin, the chairman, was very courteous, calling the odorferous mass by the euphonious titie of gentlemen. This junta of legis- lative fathers are very solicttous of the Mlack race. If they were to look after the general interests of the city, and had any ideas above the narrow prejudice in favor of the black man, Washington might probably at least hold her head up a little in respectability, and the Gisgraceful conaition of the streets might be reme- died. While Congress and the city government are agitating the everlasting African theory they might be devoting themselves to a more practical subject. ‘The special object of the opaque delegation was to consult in reference to the free schools of the city being opened to both races, The Atlantic and Pacific Rallrond. ‘The Senate Committee on Pacific Railroads me this morning and considered a bill extending the time for the reconstruction of the Atlantic and Pa- cific Ratiroad, The company is expertencing some aimenity in securing the right of way through the Indian Territory. The committee arrived at no de- cision. The Gold Gonspiracy—Corbin Agatn Before the Committee. Mr. A. R. Corbin, Mr. Smith, of the firm of Smith, Gould & Martin, and Mr. Norvell, or New York, were before the Committee on Banking and Cur- rency to-day. Corbin’s examination was contimued for some hours, but he declined to give any of his testimony, as did a!so the members of the. commit: tee. Mr. Smiti’s examination related to the check for $25,000 paid Corbm by Fisk. Mr. Norvell, who 1s the financial editor of a republican paper in New York, was questioned as to his knowledge of certain articies which appeared in that journal about the time of the gola panic, and whether they were in- The committee is not quite through with Mr. Corbin, and he is to appear again to-morrow. The Committee on Banking and Currency have authorized the following statement:—That no por- tion of the testimony taken before them in regard to the gold panic of September last, or the substance thereof, has been given to the press, and that all the statements purporting to be such are not only un- authorized, but toa large extent inaccurate. The committee have nearly concluded their examina- tion of witnesses, and believe they shall be able to Feport the result of their investigation in @ short time. The Butler-Dawes Controversy—The House Weary of the Discussion, Ben Butler made another attempt in the House to-day to answer the specch of his celleague, Mr. Dawes, about the extravagance of the department estimates. The House ts manifestly weary of the discussion, and Butler received very little attention ‘while he was speaking. It 1s generally conceded that in the discussion Butler has been worsted, and his friends say he has not sustained his reputation for argument. Attempt to Reduce Boutwell’s Estimates. Secretary Boutwell was before the Committce on Appropriations to-day consulting as to how the eatimates may be reduced. Telegraph Monopolists Lobbyt the Postal Telegraph The Senate Committee on Post Oifices and Post Roads will hold a meeting to-morrow morning, when they will consider the bill providing for a system of postal telegraphs. Tne plan which seems to meet with the greatest favor is the incorporation of the United States Postal Company. Several ‘prominent officials of the Western Union Company are in the cityand will buzz the committee when they meet. It 1s understood that the committee 1s very favorabiy disposed towards the project of postal telegraphs, and, notwithstanding the plaust- bility of the great monopoly, it is safe to predict some action during the present session to relieve the people of the telegraphic tyranhy which now pre- vails. Work Not to be Suspended in the Navy Yards. In order to prevent the order suspending work in the department of engineering and construction in the various navy yards from being carried into effect on the Sist of this month, a jomt resolution will be introduced io the House authorizing the Secretary of the Navy to draw temporarily from some other fand of the department until the passage of the rega- Jar appropriation bill, go that the work in’ the En- gineering and Construction Department may be allowed to proceed. Redistricting the United States Judicial Cir- cuits. The Committee on the Judiciary of the House ts still discussing the bill to provide for a redistricting of the United States Judicial Circuits. It is probable that a bill wili be reported creating a new Judicial Circuit in the Southern States, making ten in all. itis urged that the Circuit, which comprises nearly ail the Southern States, is too large, and cannot be fully attended to by one judge.

For- reat, Postmaster, Lewisburg, Pa.; William Al. Beall, ostmaster, Schenectady, N. Y.; Wiillam W. Kurtz, ‘ostmaster, Athens, Onio; Franklia B. Rose, Cuap- Jain in the navy. Destruction of Distillerles in Georgin—Oppo- sition to the Revenne Laws. William Jennings, Assessor of Internal Revenue of the Fourth Georgia districty reports to Commis- moner Delano the discovery and destruction of about @ dozen stilis in that district by a mounted expedi- tion of revenue ofmcials.

The Supreme Court Vacancy. ‘This morning @ Bumber of prominent repudiican citizens of Delaware waited on the President to urge the appointment of Judge Fisher, now on the Supreme Court bench of this District, to the vacancy on the bench of the Supreme Court of the United States, The Bill to Abolish the Franking Privileg:. ‘The bill to abolish the franking privilege, which passed the House yesterday, 1s very short. It nas Dot yet been printed, It tg as follows:— Be it enacted, &c., thas all iaws and parts of laws giving the right to any oMicer or department of the government, or other person, 10 either send or re- ceive through the United States mails free of charge Jeticr, document or other mailable matter be the same are hereby repealed.

Mr, SHERMAN, (rep.) Of Ohio, offered a resolution, Which was agreed to, directing the Commitiee on Appropriations to joguige gnto..the exped: or trausferring to the sur; fund all balances of ap- fr ee po remaining unexpended on the Ist day ot Judy next, except such permanent and indefinite appropriations as may be repealed without injury to te public service. Mr. WILSON, {rom the Committee on Military Affairs, reported the Military Academy Appropriation bi, with amendments.

Mr. RaMSEY offered @ resolution, which was agreed to, requesting the Secietory of War to com- miunicate the resuit of the surveys of the harbor of Du Luth, at the head of Laké Superior, with a view to its improvement. On motion of Mr. Ferry, (rep.) of Conn., the Senate proceeded to consider the message of the President vetoing the bill for the relief of Rolin White, which proposed the extension of a patent for an improvement in pistols. The reasons of the President assigned in the message, with all the pa- pers bearing on the case, including the petition of the claimant, were then read. Mr. FeRRy proceeded to address the Senate in ex- — of the reasons upon whicn the bill was assed, . His remarks were cut short by the expiration cf the morning hour, when Mr. SHERMAN proposed to proceed with the unfinished business, which was the Currency bil. Mr. HAMLIN, (rep.) of Me., urged the neces: adhertug to the special order appointea for which involved the consideration of the bust r ported by the Committee on the District of Colum- bia, He said that immediate action was impera- tively demanded on the bill for the temporary reitef of the poor of the District of Columbia, and remarked that the Senators could have no Regt Made o ed and suffering of the indigent of the istric THE CENSUS BILL, Mr. StrwaRt, (rep.) of Nev., intimated that action upon the Census bill was equally necessary before the period shouid expire for which the existing law was discontinued. Mr. CoNKLING sald the remark of the Senator from Nevada would bea sutiicient justification for a state- ment he wished to make. ‘fhe committee upon ine subject had reported favorably to taking the census under the act of 1850, and that the echedule ot enu- meration iiterally and formally ought to be mace to comply with the change in our national constiin- tion, The Secretary of the Intertor would doubt- less conform to the constitutional requirements, and thus the object of the committee would be ob- tained without any legislation. The commiitee, nevertheless, felt bound to ask early attention of the Senate, to the end that the judgment of the Senate might in some way be expressed, Mr. SUMNER 681d, a3 one of the committee having in charge the Census bill, he dissented from the view of the chairman tn regard to the practicability of proceeding with the census under the act ot 1850, The daily compensation of an assistant mar- shal under that act was one dollar and eighty-seven cents or two doilars, and this would not now be ade- qnate to gecure the service required. He believed the law of 1860 to be impracticable, and thatif the government was to proceed on that basis amend- Iments would be necessary to make the law applica- ble to the present changed condition of things. Mr. CoNKLING replied that after an examination of the act of 1860 and every other statute touching the census, he believed, as did the entire committee, except the Senator from Massachusetts, that, nob only In regard to compensation, but in every par- ticular, tne act of 1850 was competent and sutiicient. ‘This Was also the opinion of otuers much more com- petent to forta correct judgments upon the matter than were the members of the comuittee. The Senate finally determined to adhere to the order specially appointed ror the consideration of business trom certain committees. RELIEF OF THE POOR IN THE DISTRICT. On motion of Mr. H£MLIN the bill for the tem. ‘y relier of the poor and destitute in tne District Columbia, appropriating $30,000, was taken up and discussed by Mesérs. ‘Thurman, Davis, Pomeroy, Hamlin, Wilson and Casserly. Mr. POMEROY, (rep.) of Kan., submitted an amend- Ment, which he advocated, to provide that the Money in part should be appropriated to provide Jabor and the materials for labor to those of the poor who are able to work. Mr, WILSON moved further to amend £0 as to pro- vide certain accommodations for the indigent women. 'HURMAN, (dem.) of Ohio, referred to the In- Mux at stated periods prior to the occurrence of an election of large numbers of the colored population, Who swarmed into Washington and yoted for tne parly shat fed them out of the large soup bowls of the United States freasury. He referred to instances of outrage committed by this viass in the excite- ment of an election, @ colored man upon one occa- alon being almost torn to pieces for von e demo- cratlo ticket, Wale tire police gould not, or wotlla not, interieré. He favored the project of a territo- rial form of government for the District, aud opposed so bul, because It proposed to give to the igual oMicials the control of the ro} ion, He saw hothing in their history to warren! their selection as the almoners of the Lounty of the government. Mr. Davis, (dem.) of sal it the apparent failure in local government in the District was attributable to the experimental policy of the party which for so many years had held power in Congress over the District, ‘the erin 00 of were the timate results of that polioy. “tir HAMLIN said there were pow in Washington some twelve or fifteen hundred former slaves, waose ages ranged from sixty to one hundred and fifteen years, Who were physically helpless and totally de- Pendent. There were three thousand or four thousand others, of both sexes and colors, ove thousand of whom, probably, were women With children, who were destitute and de pendent, He thought the government ought to do something to relieve their necessities, especialiy in view of the fact that it possessed over a hundred muliion dollars’ worth of property, upon which it paid vothing In tne way of taxes for the support of the local District government. No partl- san distinctions were how made in the distribution of funds appropriated by Congress for the poor, and the almoners of this fund would not be governed by ang political considerations. ‘The amendments Lo the bill betng finally adopted, ag also an amendment by Mr. Bayard, fora report upon the distribution anda review of the expendi- tures by Congress, the bill was thea passed.

So ordered, THE DARIEN CANA. Mr. STEVENS, (rep.) Of N. H., offered @ resolution calling on the Secretary of the Navy for the reports of Rear Admira: Davis on the subject of the Darien Canal. Adopted. ‘The House then, at twenty minutes past two o’clock P. M., went into Committee of the Whole-- Mr. Cessna in the chatr—on THE LEGISLATIVE, EXECUTIVE AND JUDICIAL APPRO- PRIATION BILL. Mr. VoornExs, (dem.) of {nd., addressed the com- mittee, He said that as the Massachusetts co:nbao- tants had temporarily subsided he rose to ask iudul- gence while he demonstrated the wrongs and oppressions of the people of longer growth and of more gigantic proportions by far than even those which that most striking and remarkabie debate dis- closed. In discussing the origin snd existence of the national debt he sojemnly asserted that a vast proportion of the public debt, as stated on paper, had no existence in reality; that it was a ficnou created by unjust and scandalous legislation; on the still more unjust and scandalous perversion of the true contract; that it was a fraud fastened upon the labor of the nation, utterly without gonsideration, either legal or moral; that 1+ was a sheer and naked extortion irom the wants, tae necessitics and the helplessness of the people and the armies, when they were wholly at the mercy of capital, He had made his calculations and made them safely. He had underestimated the wrongs of the people and the enormous advantages of the bondholde rather than overestimated them. In 1862 there wel issued bonds to the amount of $60,932,450, at six per cent, Tie average price of gold was then 158}; in currency. At that rate the purchasers of this first issue of over ef<ty millions paid for those bonds $44,030,649 in goid. If those bonds were tobe paid back in gold the holders would receive $16,051,501 more than they paid to the government, ‘This was a bonus, a gift, Gu thts bonus interest to the amount of $6,102,654 Was already paid, and the interest yet to accrue on jt would reach the sum of $14,239,526. The account, thereiore, in 1862, atood aa follows: vold $60,982,450 then + 44,039, 649 oe + 16,951,201 Interest already paid on bonus. . + 6,102,654 interest yet to be paid on bonus. + 14,230,520 Amount Of bonus and interest thereon... 37,293,951 ‘Thus it would be seen that on an investment of a little over forty-four millions the trafficker in na- tional bonds had obtained securities for over thirty- seven miljions, not one dollar of which had left their cofiers or ever found tts way into the vauits of the Treasury. The same system of calculation on the bond isaue of 1863 ($16,987,500), with gold averaging 158, showed that the bond holders had paid only $101,800,864, and that the bonus, and the interest on the Donts, amounted to $130,012,736 on the transac- tions for that year. The result for 1864, when gold averaged 201, was aa foliows:— ‘Amount of bonds issued. + $381,292,250 Amount paid for tzem + 189,697,686 Amount of bona: 191,594,614 Interest already average price of gold at 143, showed an ~e issu cf... me seseees 279,749,150 Bonus and tuterest tuereuu to the amount The resuit of 1866, on an i: + 124,914,400 (With gold at i41,) Was a bonus and tnterest thereon of.... 79,909,987 ‘The result of ee an issue of vee 421,469,559 ‘With gold at 139,) was a Dens and interese tnereomot. 200,158,907 The result for 1863, on @u wsue Of.. + 426,443,500 (With gold at 136,) i Was a bonus and interest thereon of.... 247,755,457 ‘The like catculatioh on the five per cent.

Who had ever known the parallel! co this in tho history of con- stitutional governments? Aud to sustain ali this iu- justice, the people were taxed a3 vo peuple ever were before. The aunount of federal taxation was, $66,929,402, ‘The amount of State and jocal taxation, $260,000,- 000. ‘Total amount of taxation, $616,928,402. There was no language within the scope of the human tongue that could exaggerate the over whe!ming significance of 1 figures. In the face of all this bow should be rize that policy which made free from all tax or tribute more than one-tenth of the property of the United Statosy Tho painting bad been feeble, worthy of the great theme, Is py shoes aspect to the taxpayer, led.a8 & baleful monster. ‘The aight of it extorted a desperate cry for relief. tt could not and it would not be borne. But should they, there- fore, attemos to build the city of refuge from this distress on the amifting quicksands of repudiation f Mighty wrongs and the galling sense of extreme in- justive had driven many honest minds to embrace that fearfui doctrine, and many more might yet 1ol- low with the sume disastrous’ tendency. ‘The issue was in the hands of the party in power. He him- self was not for repudiation, He saw in it neither safety nor honor, Lf repudtation should hereafter come to dishonor the American name at bome and abroad, it would be because the dominant party con- tnuously and persistently enabled the creditor class, the bond holding monopoly, to violate their part of the contract and to plunder ‘the -people to an unbearable extent. ‘The doctrine on which he placed himself, with an absolute faith mits legality and justice, was that embodied tn the noble and upright regolution of the recent Democratic Convention of Indiana that the debt should be paid in strict com. liance with the contract, the fivetwenty bonds ing. Payable in greenbacks. The law which au- thorized the issue of the national currency sald in very pias and simple words that it is legal tender for ail debts, public and private, except duties on imports and interest on the publicwlebt, Therefore, Af the people owed anything else besides duties on Auports ana interest on the public debt the green- back currency was a legal tender for its pament ‘That Tose ut onoe py a bare statement to full force of @ demonstrauion, Mr. STOUGHTON, (rep.) of Mich., made a speech in delence of the President and nis administrauon, Mr. BUTLER. (rep,) of Mass., obtained the floor for the purpose, as he said, of saying @ Jew words in addition in defence of the republican party and the republican administration. 1b would stand the as- saults made by tbe gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Voorhees) in his beautiful “periods; but ic could Not stand an assault in the house of its friends, He geclared that his colleague (Mr. Dawes) yesterday had controverted no word, or figure, or calculation, or estimate which he (Mr. Butier) had submited to the country the day belore, with one exception, and Lat was as vo (he error of four or tive huadred thou- sand dollars. over aud above the error of $7,000,000, ‘tm the estimate of the Post Oflce Department. He explained how the error in the Post OMce estimate ‘Was made, by adding the estimated revenue of the department (0 its estimated expenditure, What bad prevented nis colleague from stating in his first speech the particulars of the interview which he had had with the President? He would pass over what his colleague bau aid about him, warming ium (Mr, Buller) into "le. He thought ne had veen toler- ably lively for some time past, (Laughter.) He was mot torpid by apy means, If he was he wondered What his colleague would think of him when warmed up. (Laughter.) He thanked God that he never had been warmed into life by any man, or by any soctety tha: could boost him higher than he could himself, He had never had any trouble on tnat score. He kept po newspaper or newspaper re- rier in his pay to trumpet lis praise, He was not easily warmed into lite, and he was still more hard to kill. (Laughter.) Commenting on Mr. Dawes? allusion yesterday to the tive hundred superoumary arty officers, he reminded the House that he (Mr. Butler) had reported last Congress a bill to stop that abuse, got it throagh the Commitice of the Whole, and tiat in the vote in the House the bili had been defeated, the voto of his coleague (Mr, Dawes) leading the van In opposition. Jn conclusion he asked his colleague whether, When he sent to the country the statement that the esu- mates for ile year were 1,000,000, he did not know that the Secretary of tue Treasury, the official organ of the administration on the subject of esti- mates, had reported to the Mouse that oniy $291,000,000 was needed? If ho knew that fact, why had he not stated it m justice to a frieudly adminis tration before attacking every member of it, from the Presidentdewn?

CAMERON'S ABDALLAH HEROES. A Philanthropist CI 2 E Clubbed by One of Them— Trial Before Judge Bosworth—Ugly Reve lations. There seems to be no indications of a decrease of complaints against officers of the police force during the present week. They pour in so rapidly that clerk Hadenbeck 1s unable to take all tue com- plaints, and the assistance of Mr. Charl Worts bas been cCaiied into requisition, ne subject of police demoralization has been considered by the Board im secret session, and as @ resuit of their deliberations that pody has recently doubled the nuyaber of roundstnen or “spotters” iu the precincts where the greatest abuses exist. The trials yesterday betors Judge Bosworth were only about thircy im number, Nearly ail were for violation of rules and neglect of duty—terms that cover @ multitude of sins, by the way. Patrick Gaffney, one of the most eMcient mem- bers of Captum John Cameron’s Abdaliah heroes (Eighteenth precinct), was placed on wrial for um- proper conduct, and if the allegations be proved true he has comuntted an offence that should ve followed not only with dismissal from the police Jorce, but arraigument at the General Sessious for agzravated aisault and battery. The complamant as Mr. Alexander P. Irvin, of No, 105 Kast Seven- teenth et. Mr. Irvin testified that on the night of the 13th inst, he found a poor litue urctin at the coruer of Fourth avenue and Seventeenth street, shocless and hungry. Afver questioning him and hearing bid story his syinpuilues were aroused. He took him to his residence, gave him food and shoes and socks, and sent him home. The boy having stated wat he resided in Sixteenta Strect, between avenues A and B, with his motuer, brothers aud sisters, Who Were In a destitute condi. tion, Mr. Irvin followed him to investigate the truta or falsity of hs story. In front of the boy’s resi- dence the oficer stopped the little fellow and was conversing with hin. Mr. Irvin coming up asked the officer if he knew where the child lived. The officer told him it wags none of his business and asked him where he lived. Mr. Irvin answered “105 East Seventeenth street.’? “Then go there,” he said, striking him violcnuy on the side of the head with his fists, At this mo- Theut Irvin avers a woman Came to thedoor with alight, which jell upon Gaffuey’s cap. He raiwed his eyes to get his number, wuen Gatley, mnterpret- ing his intention, struck him again, knocked him agalust the house aud clubbed him. Fearing farvher violance he ran away, went to the station house, re- ported to Sergeant Brown, aud when Gafney came li, at @ little alter eleven o'clock, pointed tim out.as the offender. Sergeant Brown testified that the moment the ofcer came in Irvin pointed to Gatfaey as the party, that be put ail the wien tn the ranks and after the return roll was calied opened ranks and told Irvin to pick oul bis man. He said it Was unnecessary to examine the line es the fourth man in the front rank was the offender. Gatfney swore positively that he was not the party who bad the altercation with Irvin, never saw him until he picked him out in the station house, and that no such‘occurranco took piace on his post.
