Taero was a cor poration known as the Chiriqui Liud company , which hid ; several million icros of laud to sell trhcro those s aliens - lions were proposed t-o be located. Tals was ostensibly a proposition to get two atntions , ono in the Gulf of Mexico and the otficr in thn Pacific ocean , bnt it was not all for the glory of the United Stale * . McMahou in timated that jobbers l > ad been to work ou the committees , nnd that executive influence had bo n Bljly invoked to get the measure through centres. Thep-riut tf order was overt ulod. Mr. lilount appealed to the demo crats of the houio Io welg1 ! well the m-t er be f..ire rotiug en thopiopazi- tiou. tiou.Mr. Mr. Iveifer denied th.it this was In the interest of any corporation. It was recommended by the secretary of the navy and by the prasidsnt , vho sent a epecial message ou the 2d of thia mouth. i jlr. McMahon thought it a Mirprh- ing fact that if there YTMS enough coal there to eava the government $250- 000 a year , th-t BUIUC shrewd owner of a million &crca had cot developed it. If there was coal thtrs ? , why did not the Clitricai company open mine ; , but he spoke mainly to the democrat1 , for the republiccaa have a political in terest in mukiog as b id a record as po-stole for this congress. Mr. Harris , of M&ts'.chusclts , n member of tha committee on nt > Vil aifoira. add they hr.d m.Mio iha appro priation , but ihy had esimmed the hu' ject carefully and di pir.sr.n- ! ately , and were nuantainmly in fsvor of it. Ko j ibbbcrc had bsen bafore Ihe naval commiitce. They had ex amined by rcpor's and papers pre- sjnteil , but it Btcms ths jobbers went to the approprUtion comiaittea lilr.

Mr. Whithoroc , cheiriasn cf tha naval committee , reftrrinR to the ap peals of Messrs Uluuui r.nd hon , to the denncrat ? , atrptd that ho was a better democrat than they trer ? , because in eepousirg this project he was carrying out iha J ffersonian idea of the "destiny of tbo preat republic. Rsferrinj ; to Mr. Mc > Iahon'a s'ato- ment , that jobbsr * influenced the naval committee , ha decLrJi it fIsa. . Ho admitted there wai a great princi ple b-.ck of this proposition , but It wai all in the interest of this country. Mr. Whitthorpa usid thfit he would not fce uncharitable and moan enough to say that tlio gentleman who oppo"od this amendment had received money from the French govermccr. ! to pre vent the carrying out of the great American idea. Mr. McMnlnn eaid the genllenun , was a little unfortunate in his allus ion , fi-r tha recretaiy of the navy who recommended this , va.3 president of the Frfnch.coajpany. Mr Gooda eaid it was the present eerratsry who recommended it.- Mr. McMahoa replied that Secre tary Goff , ia his report had referred , to tha report of his predecessor , Mr. Thompson. Mr. Mediation took ccr caslou io Bay that ho had never insin uated that members of the naval com mittee , or of the inter-ccsau:0 com mittee had been ccrruptivcly ap proached. Jlr. Hiscock inquired ofllr. 3Ic- M hcn what he meant whui lie eaid the exceptive had slyly tried io influ ence this matter ; "wh'o was it that dyly tried to infiusnca them. " K Mr. McMahon Inquired whether f Mr. Hiscock , as a friend of tha presi dent , really wanied sn answer to the question , ana Mr. Hlicr.ck replying in the affirmative , Mr. MoMahon ro- replied that it was the president's pri vate secretary , W. 1C. Rogers. This was received with spplausa among the democrats. Mr. McManon added t ! at the Bub-committeo on apprvormiono , who had had charge of this bl' : ' , by an examination of the r.itorneyd cf the company had probed the mstter to tha bottom , and hid refused tbo appro priation. Mr. Geode said no jobber * of the attorneys had approached the com mittee on naval affura. In the further discussion it wai in timated that jobbers knew where to go when they wont to the subcommittee mittee on appropriation ! ; . v Mr. Hiscock , referring to Mr. Mc .Slahtin'sstatement , th ? luoeTecu ivo had slyly triad to influence the mat ter , siii he ( Air. McMahoi. ) teemed to have been the oi.ly one who had been slyly approached. Ilo ridiculed the idea of a sly approach cf'tha Liid mentionedto either Mr Blouut or Mr. McSIahoi : , or the other m ° inbera of the onb-committee. With respect to Mr. McMahon , he desired tos y h-\t iho chiracten cf Blount aud AIcMa- hon were such that no ono dared to approch them. Mr. McMahon wanted to know whethtr tha gentleman pretended to aay this ho was the only member cf ] the Bub committee who was slyly an preached. Mr. Hiscock replied that Mr.Mc _ MViion waa the only ono who bad'said so , Ise t a the only onsTvflto was sly'y approached. Mr. llobiuEson advocated thoamoad- nieut on tha gionnd ihat coaiplica tiocs were arieirg in thNt cection t-f the world , cud u wai the duty tf this ci-untry to have a proper lepreaentr.- Mr. Hooker srgced in the same etri-iii , hr.d contended tlut 5200-COO was a mere bsyatuilo ccmpared with the grtat advf.ulagca to follow. .funding consideration of Iho quou- tlun the committca arose and the house , at < i p. m. , adjourr.od.
