The committee on Ways and Means, in secret session, resolved to continue the investigation into the affairs of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company.

In the Forty-second Congress there as a large amount of testimony taken relative to this matter. Tho inquiry was conducted in the strictest secrecy. No official publication has been made concerning the nature of the testimony then taken, but it became noised about at the time that tne evidence showed that some members of the last Congress took bribes for their votes upon the bill gi anting the Pacific Mail subsidy. The story is that several members received each" a $1,000 bill. The testi-mony taken was inclosed in a large, carefully sealed package, and deposited at the close of the Forty-second Congress with the Clerk of the House.

This testimony, at the beginning of the last session of Congress, was officially transferred to the custody of the present Congress by that officer. The House then referred the testimony to the committee ou Ways and Means, with authority to act. Under the commission given to the Committee on Ways aud Means early in the last Session of Congress, the committee has now acted, it is kuowu that Beck, of Kentucky, has been one of the leading movers for this fresh investigation. Ho publicly announced early in this session that he should speedily bring it to the attention of the committee. The reason for maintaining secrecy dur ms OS a 3 3 'S Conutles.

THE KTEW The past twelve months at the Waltham Watch factory have been the busiest in the Company's History. Several wholly new stem-winding watches have been produced, and great improvements have been effected in the manufacture of ail varieties of our standard watches, until now they include every size, in both key and stem-winding, that can be desired, of every quality and of every price. At the same time new inventions in machinery, and other large economies, have cheapened the cost, so that at present is not too much to claim that the Waltham Watches are the best and cheapest watches in the world. These claims are, in fact, almost everywhere admitted. In this country it is a itter of fact that hardly any fine American Watches are sold hut those of the Waltham make, while orders are now regularly received from England, Australia and the British Possessions generally, and foreign conn tries are abandoning the band-made productions of and England, and eagerly adopting American machine-made Waltham Watches in their place.

Buyers of silver watches shonld be careful to observe the "tamp of the company on the case, as well as on tho movement, as the Waltham Watch movements are frequently put into cases which are inferior both quaaly of metal and in workmanship.

The Fnancial Question in the House- The following report is given of a debute in the House ou the 10th, on the bill authorizing the issue of 3 convertible bonds Mr. Wilhtrd (Vt.) oflVred an amendment that greenbacks shall be legal tender in payment of debts after July 1, 1875.

Mr. Dawes spoke at length, and very earnestly, in opposition to the bill. He declared that witn the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. (iarfiehh lie rejoiced that the hands of Congress were being stayed up in the etl'ort, if it had courage to make it, to brinir the country back to the laws of trade, and argued that the direct and inevitable consequence of the substitution of the pending bill for the existing state of affairs, instead of bunging relief by appreciating the greenback to gold, would sink it 10 to 15 per and thereby take from the laborer 10 to 15 per cent, ot the purchasing power of his liav's wages, and cut down his now scanty l.iat of bread. The greenback would be worth as much as gold to-day if the Government would pay it when presented, and it never would bo worth as much as cold until the Government did that.

Let 'it do that, and all the rest would follow. In the course of his speech the following colloquy with Butler took place: Gen. Butler You misstate my position. Mr. Dawes I cttvtt' vour position, as I understand tt, in your speech, which ha boon withheld from the record.

Gen. Hurler-It was withheld because I was absent in New York. Mr. Dawes 1 do not intend to misstate your position. (Jen.

Butler- The road to hell is paved with pMirt intentions. Mr. Dawes No one should be better aware of that fact than yourself. In conclusion Mr. Dawes urged his Republican fellow me tubers to abandon financial heresies and retrieve lost ground by coming squarely on to the specie-resumption plank of the annual message, and said: "Those who are responsible for public affairs have no time to lose.

We can put off our duty in the premises no longer. The Republican party has just three months to save or destroy its existence. Xo other power than itself can accomplish its ruin. It will pass out of mind ami memory in the politics of this country, if at all, by its own hands. It has the power, as well as the privilege, of accomplishing either of these results.

Whatever in the near future awaits that party, let it not die for want of courage." Mr. I'helps argued against the pending measure, aud said: "This is what task the Government to do: 1 ask the Government to pay the promises that it made twelve years ago, to pay these greenbacks on demand, dollar for dollar, aud I ask the Government to do so by borrowing on its bonds, payable fifty years afterdate, the money with which to pay its present indebtedness. In my opinion there is but one way to make the currency equal to money," and that is to follow that straight, narrow path, which is the path of honesty. The Government must pay its debts hen they are due. Then alone can expect to be again a prosperous, ami happy, and hot cable nation." Mr.

Smith (X. spoke in fay or of a return to specie payments as soon as practicable without, disaster. There were some features in the pending measure which impressed him favorably, but there were very grave objections to it. There was illimitable expansion it, because tiiese bonds of small denomination would circulate as currency. In order to guard against that, he would move to amend the bill by making the lowest denomination of a bond $1,000.

At the clese of Mr. Smith's remarks the Committee rose without action on the bill. A special dispatch to the Chicago Times says It is now conceded that the financial discussion cannot be put off till late in the session, as some few of the shrewdest oliticians among the Republicans have been hoping, but must be continued from now till the House reaches a voto on the specie-resumption issue. It is learned from prominent western Republicans that hey have been at work, in a quiet way, to restore, if possible, the fortunes ot the Republican party by a movement for harmony on this question. Some of the delegations from the west have been holding sei'-ret meetings, and discussing this as the prominent issij, that separates them fror1 lheaHlcFh men.

Some of the western uien, including part of the Wisconsin delegation, say that there is a possibility that a financial measure can be devised which will pass Congress and bo signed by the President. This having been brought to the notice of speaker Blaine and Mr. Dawes, these gentlemen called on the President this morning and endeavored to secure an understanding with him as to what course they should pursue. The President was found to be in a talkative mood, but said that the financial question was the principal issue, and that his views were quite well known through his message. All he could say was to urge Congress to adopt, at the earliest practicable moment, a specie-resumption act.

The President and Sec. Bristow Difference about a Financial Asjent. A Washington special to the Chicago Journal says: A report was privately circulated last evening, among a few friends of the Administration, that Sec. Bristow and the President were at variance over the appointment of a Financial Agent at London, and that it might develop into a serious breach Exr-Senator Cattell.who has held this position, which was created lor the sole purpose of looking after the interests of the Government in connection with the syndicate, desired a reappointment. Sec.

Bristow, for certain reasons, was not disposed to approve of the selection. Mr. Cattell's friends, among others, S-c. Robeson, took the matter to the President, who gave assurances that Mr. Cat-tell should have the position, and informed Mr.

Bristow of his wishes. The latter, however, was not disposed to yield, and is said to have protested, and then intimated that as Secretary of the Treasury lie could not consent to bo overruled in this matter. In this shape the matter now stands, and the President is reported as being determined to send Mr. Caltell back to London again. If he carries this out, some of Mr.

Bristow's friends are confident that he (Bristow) will not remain in the Treasury. The affair has occasioned much comment among those who are informed as to what is goinc on, and there are many conjectures as to how it will terminate. Mr. Cattell had a protracted interview with the President to-day before the meeting of the Cabinet, and is confident that he will meet with success. Mckdrkkd for Money.

A trial will convince any one that this is the best article of flour ever offered In the market. ing the past few days has been the apprehension on the part of the committee that if the intentions ot the committee were made public the most important witnesses would tlee the country.

This was especially feared in the case of Mr. Irwin, the then agent here of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, who controlled the Pacific Mail lobby, and claims to have disbursed here, in the interest of the company, at the session of Congress, $500,000. On Monday Aaron Bradshaw, Assistaut Sergeant-at-Arms of the House, was sent to New York, under special commission, to subpu'iia prominent witnesses in connection with the Pacific Mail Steamship Company. There is reason to believe that Cornelius Garrison, Russel and Rufus Hatch have already been sunuuoued. I to this time Irwin has not been found, and it is feared that he has escaped.

Mrs- Young's Conversion How She Joined the Methodists. An Ohio paper publishes the following: When Brigham Young's rebellious wife, Ann Eliza, came on to Boston to lecture upon the iniquities of Mormon-ism, some time ago, a zealous Methodist brother was struck by the utter absence 5 ot any reference to Jesus Christ in her discourses. Whereupon he went to her in a Clirist ianly way, and asked if she had any theoretical knowledge of Jesus Christ. He received the astounding answer: "I know nothing about Jesus Christ; I am a perfect child. the distressing sense ot vacuity in my soul! How I hunger for something satisfying! Will you not help me?" It further appeared that this woman, carefully educated in Mormon ism, had never read the Gospels in her life, and hardly knew of such a being as Jesus Christ.

Lately, the Boston brother has received a gratifying letter from Mrs. Young, describing her conversion and her reception into the Methodist Church at Salt Lake City. This is her experience in her own words: "After a very severe illness I went, to Delaware, O. While there I stopped at the Methodist female college. There I met Dr.

McCabe, President of the University. I was feeling very bad and unreconciled about my illness and consequent losses, which involved my giving up the hope of getting my mother and little boys (sons of a former husband) away from Salt Lake, aud putting the little ones in school, and many other trials too numerous to mention. Another great trouble I had was the letters of my mother, telling me of the terrible struggle she was passing through in giving up her religion. I felt all this so keenly, having passed through it all myself, that I was almost broken-hearted, and was in great need of comfort. Dr.

McC. was much in terested in me and my work, and came to see me every day while I staid there, which I think was more than a week. I confided to him all my sorrows and sufferings, and he comforted me by telling me that Jesus stood ready to take them all, and fill my heart with sweet peace if I would believe in Him. He showed me how to do this, and prayed with me, until a perfect peace and joy rested upon me and I felt forgiven, and was accepted as one of God's children." Desperate Encounter with Counterfeiters. A deperate fight occurred at the boarding house of Mrs.

Thomas, corner Summit avenue and Market street, in the west of St. Louis, Thursday between two counterfeiters named Robert L. Wil-mer and George Rankin, and a man named S. S. Watts, in which Watts was severely cut in the face, neck, head and breast, and Wilmer shot in the breast.

Both men were very badly wounded. It appears that U. S. detective Duckworth traced Wilmer and Rankin through Chicago, Burlington, Peoria and other places in Illinois, to St. Louis, and was preparing to arrest them.

Watts, who claims to be a detective, but who Duckworth says, is an old counterfeiter, and was being used by him as a tool when he went to Mrs. Thomas' house, where Wilmer and Rankin were stopping, called Wilmer to one side on the plea of wishing to talk with him, and in a few minutes Wilmer drew a knife and attacked him. Watts then drew a revolver and shot Wilmer. Rankin also fired two shots at Watts without effect. The alarm was immediately given to the station of mounted police, near by.

All parties arrested. Rankin was taken to jail and Wilmer and Watts conveyed to the hospital. On searching Wilmer and Rankin, over $3,000 in counterfeit money was found, principally in $20 notes, two $500 U. S. bonds and small sums of money.

A Great Land Case. The great Mow-ry land case, involving the title to ninety acres of land in the best part of the city of Pittsburg, commenced there on the 9th, in the United States Circuit Court, Judge McKennan presiding. The Alleghany Cemetery Association is made a defendant in the case. In 184G William Movvry is supposed to have married a daughter of Perot, a Michigan Indian Chief. A boy and girl were born to them.

The boy died. The girl, Cubba-yonquit, living now, was married to a man named Tsaacs. Mrs. Mo wry sold her right to the Pittsburg land, after her husband died, to Bernard L. Meister, of Bay City, who is the real plaintiff in the case.

There are, however, two suits against prominent and wealthy citizens who now occupy a portion of the land. The jury is the most intelligent ever gathered in that part of the State, including editors, lawyers, physicians and merchants. Besides Pittsburg lawyers, Attorney-General Masten, of Michigan, and George II. Hatch assist in the case. Beeciier and toe Proctor-Motjlton Settlement.

A New York dispatch says the details of the compromise ot the Proc-tor-Moulton suit show that it was arranged without the knowledge of lawyers, and greatly to Beecher's indignation at not being permitted to testify "and deny explicitly that he had ever given Mouiton the information on which he based his libel. Although thus settled, the friends of Miss Proctor do not admit that they acted in any hostility to Beecher, and many ol the latter's friends express themselves pleased at the result, as removing one obstacle to reaching the mainjssue in the city court.
