10 MORRILL’S REPORT. Patterson’s Expulsion Recommended by the Senate Committee. WHITEWASH FOR HIS BRETEREN Logan, Conkling, Wilson and Har- lan Exonerated. WAsuINnGTON, Fed, 27, 1873. Seon after ten o'clock to-night Senator Morrill, ‘of Maine, entered the Senate Chamber, and bring- ang a ponderous roll of manuscript, and taking ad- ‘vantage of the first break in the debate, rose and asked permission to present & report from the cemmittee appointed to investigate the charges against Senators contained in the evidence certified from the House. Silence reigned as the report was sent to the Clerk’s table, and one might almost have heard a pin drop. 44g there a, resolution accompanying the re- port?” inquired several Senators. “There 18,” said Morrill. “Let the resolution be read,’ said the presiding officer, Mr. Ferry, and then the Secretary read:— “Resolved, That James W. Patterson be and he is hereby expelied from his seat as a member of the Senate.” Patterson had not credited the announcement in these despatches, two days ago, that this was to be his fate, and now the blow struck him like a “thunderbolt. His head dropped, his eyes fell, and he looked as if death had marked him as a victim. All eyes were turned towards him; then to Wilson, whose face was scarlet; then to Harlan, who ap- peared relieved. Soon Patterson sent for the re- port, and after poring over it fer half an hour, re- turned it to the Clerk’s desk and left the Senate. The Report of the Committee. he following is the report of the Senate Crédit Mobiher Committee, submitted by the Chairman «Senator Morrill, of Maine), at half-past ten o’clock to-night:. They report that they have regarded the duty d@evoived upon them by order of the Senate limited 3n its range to such matters affecting members of the Senate as are contained in the communication from the House of Representatives, and have ac- cordingly confined their inquiries to the elucida- oe of the testimony accompanying the communi- cation. Having examined the testimony taken kefore the House of Representatives’ somites and bg: the statement of the Senators in relation there! and taken such testimony as was acceptable tend- ing to shed light upon the subject matter, and nav- ing attentively considered the same, the commit- tee, in the first instance, present the Bey a8 as- certained touching each member of the Senate. In the list of members of the Senate supposed to be alfected by the evidence taken by the com- mittee of the House of Representatives is the name of Co Swe JOHN A. LOGAN. In December, 1867, Mr. Logan made an arrange- ment with Mr. Ames to purchase ten shares of the stock commonly known as the shares of the Crédit Mobilier of America, upon recommendation of Mr. Ames that the stock Was valuable, and pay- ment could be made in consideration of the agree- ment at any time the stock was delivered, in June following Mr. Ames showed to Mr. Logan an account, in which he credited him with two dividends arising om the stock, subsequent to its purchase, of eighty and sixty per cent respectively, from which he déductea 1,000, the price of the stock, and gave Mr. ogan a check on the Sergeant-at-Arms of the House for the balance, $329, which check was paid. On the 10th of July following, having become doubt- Jul whether it was good stock or whether there ‘would not be difficulty about it, Mr. Logan paid to Mr. Ames the amount of money received on the eh stating to him he Ny ck, to which Mr, Ames assented, and here the transaction ended, Mr. Logan having no further interest init, Mr. Logan and Mr. Ames were members.of the House of Representatives at the date of the transaction. MR. ROSCOE CONKLING, In the record from the House of Representatives fg the name of Mr. Roscoe Conkling, a member of the Senate. Mr. Conkiig does not appear to have ‘been connected in any way with stock of the Crédit Mobilier or of the Union Pacific Railroad Company, and, consequently, is in no way affected thereby. MR, HENRY WILSON, On or avout December, 1867, Senator Wilson, on Dehalf of his wile, at the instance of Mr. Ames and upon the advice of his friends, contracted for twenty shares of the Crédit Mobilier stock, paying therefor in cash $2,000, which beionged to his wile, Mr.Amea giving @ receipt for the same and a guarantee for the payment of ten per cent interest thereon. Mr. Wilsen became dissatisfied with the transaction from what he had learned of differences in the arrangement of the Crédit Mobilier and ‘Union Pacific companies and concluded to regard the transaction as complete. He so stated to Mr, Ames, who consented to so regard it, and an adjustment was therefore made by which Mr. Almvs paid back the $2,000 to Mr. Wilson, Mr. Wil- son paying back to Mr. Ames all dividends upon the stock aud he paying Mrs. Wilson $814, the amount she would have received as dividends ac- ‘crutng upon the stock. It was by crontract by her husband, and Mr. Wilson had no right or interest thereon, except such as grew out o/ these facts. MR. JAMES HARLAN, it appears that Thomas C, Durant, of New York, Vice President of the Union Pacific Railroad Com- pany, had taken an interest in the Senatorial elec- tion of 1866 in the State of fowa, and that Mr. Harlan, the then Secretary of the Department of the Interior, contemplated being a candidate at that election. There had been a long personal in- tercourse between Dr. Durant and Mr. Harlan. Dr. Durant, who had a large personal interest in the State of Iowa, and professed to believe that Harlan understood the interests ef the State and had been Ye a. Washington to look out for these interests, had in the year 1805 given to Mr. Harlan $10,000 for the purpose of securing Mr Harian’s election to the Senate o! the United States, Dr, Durant did not kuow how the money ‘was applied, nor does it appear that he gave any direction for its application, but seemed to expect hat it Was to be in part at least used TO SECURE THE INFLUENCE O8 SOME PAPER in that State. Mr. Harlan states that he received the money for election purposes in 1865, and that it Was so used; that it was intended to cover ex- penses which his friends had incurred in the State Cunvass Of that year and also the expenses of the Legislature; that the contribution of Durant was Voluntary and not solicited by him; was not in consideration of any services pertormed or to be performed personally or officially or otherwise; Vlat its reception and use had no reierence to the donot connection with any public or bye enterpise ami that it was used. in paying he expenses of the canvass at the Fail election of the members of the Legislature and for the ex+ Sion of friends coming to, staying at and re- urning from the capital of lowa, at the election O! a Senator (Mr. Patterson). The transactions between Mr. Patterson and Oakes Ames disclose these principal facts—namely, thaton the 3st of August, 1867, Mr. Patterson purchased of Mr. Ames thirty shares of Crédit Mobilier stock, paying, theretore, at that date $3,000, which stock ‘Was subsequently delivered by Mr. Ames to Mor- ton, Bliss Co., of New York, the business cor- respondents of Mr. Patterson. Upon the 12th of May, 1871, and cn that date Morton, Bliss & Co. mailed a letter addressed to Senator Patterson in- JormingHim of such deposit; that Ames had re- tained possession of the stock, receiving dividends thereon and paying them er to Mr. Patter- son as they were declared in February and Jane following until said 6th of May, when, en a final settlement between the parties, the balance of the dividend was justed, and in pursuance to which the stock was placed in the hands 0; Morton, Bliss & Co, On two occasions, sabsequently and prior to 1861, Mr, Patterson purchased of Mr. Aines Union Pacific Railroad Stock and bonds, investing therein all the sum of $4,000, whic stock — and bonds were __ placed in the hands ef Morton, Bliss & Co., and were b. them sold on Mr. Patterson's account. The ma ket value of Crédit Mobilier stock in August, 1867, as at par, aud rose in the next six or eight fonths to the valne of $200 or $225 per share, On this stock were paid in dividends, on the 14th Feb- ruary, 1808, $2,325; om the 23d June following, $1,800; on the 6th 1871, $757 and 100 shares of Union cific stock and $2,000 worth of income bonds of the road. itis not deemed important for the consideration of the.matters submitied to the committee to remark at length upon the character of the Crédit Mobili 0} America and its relations to the Union Pact Katiroad Company, The Credit Mobilier was in- corporated by the Legisiature of Pepneylvania in 1859 pnd known as the Fiscal Agency of Pennsylva- Dia, the purpose of which was the purchase and sale of railroad bonds and securities, and to make advances of money and of credit of railroads to Amproved compabies, &c. In March, 1864, ite nase Was changed by the Legislature to the Crédit Mobilier of America, and it was empowered to engage in the construction of raiirogds, &c., pasx fonsroi~l persons in the interest or the “Cnion Pacic Katlroad, and was to be used in connection therewiti a8 @ construction agent. The Union Pi Railroad Company was incorperated by ol is prior to 1864, and was la endowed ‘with grants of land and money subsidies, was sub- fees to its control and might be aiected by ite gisiation. I 1865 Oakes Ames became interested in the Union Paeific Railroad Company and also in the Crédit Mobilier, and,connected with the con- sirnction of THE UNION PACIFIC ROAD. The shareholders of the Crédit Moviher were gen- erally shareholders in the Union Pacific Ratlroad Mompany.

CONTINUED FROM FIFTH PAGE. The Debate in the Senate. Mr. Morton, (rep.) of Ind., replied at length to Mr. Car- penter’s arguments, particularly aga.nst the proposition that the McEnery government must be recognized unless Congress should order a new election, The McEnery gov- ernment was utterly and monstrously fraudulent, as the Senator trom Wisconsin (Mr, Carpenter) had admitted, and to recognize it would be to set up a gross usurpation. ‘The proper and only safe taing for Congress to do was to recognize the Kellogg governinent or to adopt the policy of masterly imactivity. The threats of the McEnery peo- ple were nade merely for the purpose of affecting the action of Congress, and if Mcknery should lempt to give them effect Kellogg alone, or, if ess Aid of the President, would take care of him. Mr, Scnurz said there had been rumors of late that the Senator trom Indiana (Mr, Morton) had turned over a new leaf and would henceforth be more liberal in his treatment of the South, but to-night he had shown that there was nochange in his spirit or in his manner of supporting his views, There was really something imposing in the audacity of his statements, as, for in- stance, in his statemement that the McEnery gover w ported only bv a small faction in Louisi- 4 statement for which he was unable to offer a ticle of proof, and which was contradicted by all the cts in the case, The Senator from Indiana was shocked it the idea of pasiag Governor Warmoth again in ower in Louisiana, but it would be remembered hat a few years ago the same Senator had argued again “and again in favor of extend- ing the term of Governor Bullock and his Legislature in Georgia for two years, upon the ground that if that were not done society would be disturbed. It would not do for the great friend of the villain Bullock to be so alarmed or so sornipnions bout reinstating Mr. Warmoth in the Governorship of Louisiana. Mr. schura then ued atlength that the Kellogg governmont was ut- erly un-republican and fraudulent The report of the Committee on Privileges and Elections stated that in Louisiana there were two so-called governments—one & mere dle facto government, and the other in a greater de- gree the de jure government. This being so,and the de Jaco govertiment having been set up solely by federal ‘usurpation, the duty of Congress was plainly to undo that usurpation and make the de jure government the de fede government also. ‘The President’s last mes- tH showed that he had discovered his | mis- Cy fi ‘8a tal dit and wished Congress to help him out of the uity, and it was the duty of Congress to make it easy tor the President to retrace his false steps in this matter. Sf our free government was to be maintained these usurpations must be stopped, If the people of the South were expected to obey the laws we must ourselves respect the laws, Mr. Cour, of California, moved to lay the bill on the table for the purpose of taking up the Bundry Civil Ap- Provriation bill. Lost—yeas 18, nays 2 Mr. SHERMAN, ep.) of Ohio, offered an amendment roviding that until a new election can be held the Kel- ogg government shall be recognized instead Pea fte government of | Warmoth, | which legally in power the last ir. Monton opposed the plan of ordering a new elec tion, even with this amendment. He would not, under any circumstances, assent to the principle of the bill re- ported by the majority ot the committee. Mr. Ev4unps said that the people of Louisiana, haying had ‘an election in form according to the laws of the State, must have prima facie elected somebody. The jrestion then was, Who was elected? and it appeared rom the report of the committee that on the face of the returns Mr. McEnery was prima facie elected. Therefore Congress, if it had been. appealed to at first, would have been obliged to recognize that government asprina facie the government of the State; and it was so obliged still, its right and duty In the matter being in no way affected by the action of the President, ‘The President's action was necessary and right under the circumstances, but the duty of deciding finally reated pot with the President, but with Congress, and the duty of Congress was to make haste to undo the usurpation com- mitted by a United States Judge and leave the people of unnecessary bier ~“ wasninoton, Feb. 3%, iin. mn condemning the resolution was the same.

How Grading and Paving is Done in Brooklyn. * The Law Committee of the Brooklyn Common Council inet Jast evening for the purpose of consid- ering a pretest on the part of Mr. Isaac Hendersen against an unjust assessment for grading and paving levied upon him. It appears that several years ago Mr. Henderson obtained permission to grade and pave 145 feet on Eighth avenue, com- mencing on Tenth street, in front of his property, and bore the expense himself. About sixteen months ago the Board of. Aldermen passed a reso- lution awarding the contract for grading and paving Eighth avenue from Tenth street te Twenty- rst street tO Patrick O'Hara for $640 per joot, Mr. Henderson sent ex-Alderman Carman to Street Commissioner Fuery, before the contract was signed, to umiorm that official that he had graded and pave: 145 feet of Eighth avenue at his own expense. Notwithstanding this fact the contractor charged fer the entire section from Tenth street to Twenty- first street, and received for the work $22,183. Mr. Henderson very naturally objects to the assess- ment subsequently levied upon his property for the work which ke had previously paid for. The cem- mittee will meet again on Thursday next to con- sider the matter. A POSTMASTER AND HIS DEPUTY ARRESTED. NEW ORLEANS, Feb, 27, 1873. Joseph C.
