10 WASHINGTON. —- Republicanand Democratic Caucuses. THE NEW FINANCE BILL. A Significant Vote Subsidies. FROM OUR REGULAR CORRE \T. WASHINGT D. C., Dec, 21, 1874 PINCHBACK IN THE REPUBLICAN CAUCUS. The caucus seems vo be a very popalar instiru- tion of late. The republican Senators, not cole tent with their four hours’ secret session of Sat- urday, held another caucus to-day of the same length, and the democratic Senators held & lengthy caucus. Both belore and after the adjournment of the Benate the republican Senators were called to- gether to bave @ further conlerence concerning the propriety of admitting Mr. Pinchoack toa Beat in the Senate. Strong objections were made to the justice and propriety of this on Saturday. ‘Po-day the discussion in regard to it was very ex- citing. Some Senators did not hesitate to intimate | ‘hat they woud vote against Mr. Pinchback, even if the caucus decreed his admittaace. Senators who have looked atthe validity of bis election | Jrom a iegal standpoint, such as Edmunds, Howe, Frelinghuysen and Carpenter, ail took tne grouna | that Mr, Pincbback could not properly be admitted on his present credentials, Among the Soutnern republican Senators, Mr. Robertson is outspoken against it, Scarcely any Senators of inf_uence except Mortoa, Hamlin, Chandler and one or two others favored it. and Mr. West were very earnest in the afirma- | tive. - The expression of the views of those present | indicated that unless there is @ great and unex- pected change of opinion hereafter Mr. Pinucn- Dack’s déout in the Senate is indefinitely post- | poned, PINCHBACK IN THE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS. Tne democratic Senators in their caucus also @evoted much time to Mr. Pinclback, Tney agreed that, as there was a probability of an at- tempt to seat him, they would all resist it by every possible means in their power. Each Senator alao bound himself to be in his geat at the opening of the dally session ana re- main within call of his associates till tne adjoura- ment. it was further determined that the democratic Senators should all vote for the longest possible holiday recess, as they held that if Congress re- mained in session the time would be devoted by the majority to political machinations and not to business, It was also determined to invite the democratic members of the House to a joint conference at an early day. SHE NEW FINANCE BILL REPORTED TO THE | SENATE. A specialmeeting of the Senate Finance Com- mittee was called at an early hour this morning, aud Mr, Sherman submitted the new Finance bili determined tpon at the republican caucus on Sat- urday. He was immediately authorized by the re- Publican majority to report it to the Senate, Which he-did early inthe afternoon, The new bill has been considerably discussea by Senators and members during the day, and to-night it wil) prob- ably commana a party vote in both houses, although some of its provisions are not satisfac- tory to many of the republicans. It will also probably get some democratic Votes, but the Senators and Representatives of that party are in the main disposed to let it go pon the statutes as a party measure, as they re- sent the idea of an important bill like this being prepared outside of tne committee room and in a secret party meeting. A republican Senator said to-night that the bili fread very smoothly and would help to tide over the next election, put he did not think thet prac- ticaily it amounted to anything. BOLD PROCEEDING OF THE CHAIRMAN OF AND MEANS. Mr. Irwin at a late hour to-night was very ex- cited and required the attention of his physician, 4 bolder act was provably never commitied than ‘when the Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means ordered the Sergeant-at-Arms to keep | Irwin in custody after he had been formally dis charged by order of the House. ways A deputy was sent with Irwin in his carriage | after he was discharged ‘or fear he might escape. The impression has gained ground ¢o-day that there are too many virtuous membera of the Forty-third Congress, woo endeavored to disguise their Crédit Mobiier aMlation in the Forty-second Congress, and Irwin must be madea victim to divert attention. THE POTENCY OF AN OLD RED POCKETBOOK. The ghost of Oakes Ames’ Ola red pocketbook will haunts the oali of the House, ana General Butler pertinentiy asked to-day, “Do you want more evidence to make members of this Congress worthy of fame with Ananias ?”? Irwin will be brought belore the bar of the House | to-morrow, when he will pubiicly declare that for $750,000 he secured the passage of the aubsidy for the Pacific Mall Steamship Company, A new phase of the case was brougat to light to-day. Thia amount of Money was not all spent on the House of Repre- sentatives, as the the measure originated in the Senate, and the question now 1s, Way does not the Senate try to purge itself of the suspicion that gore of ite members received bribes than mem- bers of the House GENERAL WASHINGTON DESPATCHES. —_——___— WasHinaton, Dec. 21, 1874 {EXT OF THE REPUBLICAN FINANCE BILL—THE | MEANS OF RESUMPTION OF SPECIE.

THE PACIFIC MAIL INVESTIGATION, Mr. Daw. (rep.) Of | Mass. uairman of the Commitee on Ways und Means, made & report Ol the rejusal o: Richard B, irwin to auswer cer. lain questivgs putto him respecting the discribu- tou by lim of the $750,000 recetved by him trom the Pacific Mall steamship Company to aid in the procuring of the auditional subsidy jor the Caina quail service. Phe stenographic report of Mr. Irwin’s examin- auton having Oven read, Mr, adoption of an order that the Speaker Warrant lo Wwe Sergeant-at-Arms, him to take into custody Richard B, bring wim to the bar 0. why he sgould not be punished ior contempt. Mr. Dawes went on to say:—fnis witness readily and almost cheerlully states to the com- mittee aud to the country, tuat fur the purpose of procuring private legisiation oy Congress be has ea $790,000 and brought it tO the very doors of Cougress; and then, because he did not enter these ialis With lis mouey dags in his hund and Walk up and down these aisles distributing It, but putthe rema:uder of lis work tn tue bands of third parties, he fancies tuat be can put a stop to luis tuvestigation; and the question jor this House to determine is wuether, baving Bad roiled ou its shoulders an inference which it is impossible otnerwise to repel, the Flouse shall jet the inier- ence remain that that subsidy was procured by the expenditure of this sum oi money. here 1s nu member whose name stands recorded for toat measure, or who omitted to vote against it, Who has not this charge laid at his door, and all such members call on this House to repel taut inference, which this Witness seems voluntary und witn great alacrity upon them, But, Wf it touched the character 0! no member of the House, it touches the method of legisiation aud the means o! procuring legislation atthe hands Of Cougress, and Congress cannot omit to Invesugaie it to the bottom and to under. stand ifs length and breadth. If this mouey Teached corruptly no member of the House, it was, Lowever, expended to procure the passage of a bill, and whether it was by private entertain. ments or by any Other process whatever, then Congress must KNOW 1D What manner legisiation is procured here, or Vongress must cease to have regard uot only to the persoual character of its memoers, but to the respect of the people for what 1s dove in Congress. There is no aspect in which this witness presents the case that Congress can retreat irom, 1 am myself very well convinced Wille, Young of Ken- Issue his | of the motive woich has brougnot him from Europe te tempt the Committee of Ways und Means to bring him here and to draw out of bim just wnat hus been drawn out of him; butiam filled with amazement that any sane Man could for one mo- luent suppose that ne could testify tais much and no more, Along and somewhat technical discussioa en- sued ag to tne power of the House to punish tor contempt. CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS. Mr. STEPHENS, (dem.) 0! Ga., and General Bor- LER, (rep.) Of Mass., argued that as the law pro- vides jor the punisument of a recusant witness by sending him for trial before a court and jury of the District of Coluimbia, the House bes no otner power in the matter. They deuled that there was In this country uny such tuing a9 pariamentary common law, and claimed the constitutional rignt of every civizen to be tried beiore a court and ary. a Gn the other hand, Messrs. Dawes, Kasson and Beck, (dem.) oi Ky., claimed that besides tne statutory provision giving the Court the power to puuish @ recusant witness by fine and linprison- inént, each House had the power to punish ior contempt. Mr, BECK also suggested the propriety of passing another Jaw giving Congress itself ibe power to commit a recusaut withess to imprisonment io the County Jail tor twelve Months. Mr. LAWRENCE, (rep.) Of Ohio, argued that the House had the same power in such matters as the English House of Commons, While Mr. Lawrence was speaking Mr. BECK re- marked that he bad just been informed that Irwin was no longer ic the custody of the Sergeant-at- Arms, and was preparing to ieave Washington in the neXt train. lu should be here remarked that when the sub- ject was introduced Irwin was first discharged Jrom tue custedy in whicn he was held, under the resclution Of lxst Monday, a8 a witness wlo had jailed to appear, Mr, Beck’s announcement created some excite- ment, but the discussion Was continued, In tne course of it Mr. BUTLER characterized Congres- | sional investigations as mere ‘mud machines,” He argued that the louse might just as weil cone demn 4 recusant Witness to the torture and the | thumbscrew as to assume the power to punish him by committing him to jail, At last the discussion was Closed, and the order ir. Dawes was made without a divi- louse. THE CHRI:TMAS HOLIDAYS. Mr. DaWEs then called up the resolution for an adjournment over the Christmas holidays, from Wednesday, December 23, to Tuesday, January 6. Mr. HALg, (rep.) of Me., moved to lay the resoiue Vion on the tabie. The House retused to lay the resoiution on tne tavle—yeas 100, nays 126. Mr. GARFIELD, (rep.)
