The Teller .Show. Teller N ? ' Xeiv Ortean Democrat. There is in session, at.the Custom-House in this city, a committee of the United States, Senate, composed of the Republi can Senators Teller? Cameron and Kirk wood and the Democratic Senators Bailey and Garland. The majority of this com mittee is Republicans, and hence controls its action entirely. As if by preconcerted arrangement with the United States dis trict attorney, a large number of witnesses had been sabpecnaed. before the United S.tates grand jury from the remote country parishes. These witnesses, of course, are Republican. There is no notice to the Democrats f this investigation, hence no opportunity-given to rebut the malicious, drilled Custom. House witnesses. These Senators are all lawyers ; they are familiar with a principle, as ancient as Magna Charta itself, that the accused shall be confronted with his accusers. Here it is reversed, for the accused people are from 300 to 600 miles away. - A little whiskey keg labelled Home moves about the Custom House, prepares the puns and bon mots for the African clowns.

The funds for the committee were surreptitiously abstracted from an other appropriation. The fables and Munchausen tales arc occasionally re lieved by pious ejaculations of the clowns. -Religion is made to take its part in this verbiage of stuff. No wonder many of the performers rati re from the ring drip ping with perspiration from their exploits.

A member of the committee, noticing this discrepancy, asked him to give the name of the leader, which he refused to give. Teller saw the .discrepancy, and, therefore, thought Cameron, however. it unnecessary. Mr. thought that thej wit ness hud 'said sd he- might as well toll all, and then iiame. Mr.- Teller the witness gave the will keep on with his farce, no doubt, " feelinj that he I is doing good work, and will soon displace Blaine from the command of .the stalwarts.

EARLY AND MIDNIGHT REPORTS. AT TIIK FEOERIL CAPITA I- Iu t'ougreas YeMlcrtlaj . WaShixoto.-c, January 14. Senate -In the Senate, during the morninir hour; Mr. Anthony submitted a resolution pre viding that at one o'clock, Friday, the Senate will proceed to consider bills on the calendar not objected to, and to be dis cbssed under the tire minute rule. Agreed to. Mr. Butler of South Carolina, submitted a resolution directiug the Secretary of the Interior to enquire and report to the Sen ate what railroad company,' individual orindividuals that are constructing or build ing railroads across the public domain in the territory of Arizona, and by what authority -such road is being constructed. Agreed to. AJ the conclusion of the morning busi ness Mr. Davis, of West Virginiji, cabled up the resolution submitted by him early in. the session, to promote the agricultural interests of the country, and spoke at some length, upon the subject. The Senate Finance Committee heard Mr. II. W. Hunt, president of the Mer chants' Tobacco Company, of New York and Boston, in opposition to the House bill which provides for the reduction of the rate of taxation on tobacco. The com mittee adjourned without acting on the subject, but will hold a special meeting to dispose of it within the next few days. The House, by a vote of 112 yeas to to 105 nays, determined to postpone the Geneva award bill, and is now considering the bill for the payment of pensions to the survivors f the Mexican and other wars. At a. meeting of the House military committee this morning, the sub-committee reported that the facts in the communica tion laid before! them in regard to the charges againstythe management f the Soldiers Home at Hampton, va., were insufficient to warrant a Congressional in quiry. On motion of Representative White, the sub-committee was instructed to examine the matter more fully and sub mit their conclusions to tho full committee on Thursday. ' The Potter committee to-day examined J. H. Birch, one of the Presidential ; elec tors at large for the State of Louisiana, and his testimony was to the effect that he signed a second set of certificates, having been advised that there were informalities in - the first set. He knew nothing of forgery of signature, exCept from what he had learned from newspapers and con versations. It was quite true that he for ged no signatfire. Witness Kelly was re called from Saturday, and after much pressure, stated positively that the name of Jeffrion was forged, but was not quite so sure as to that of Leyissee. After which the committee took a recess. Upon reassembling the examination of Kelly was continued. In reply to the in quiry of Mr. Cox as to how he came with the letter to the chairman of the commit tee ? Witness said at the time Hayes was elected, the .Republicans of Louisiana thought he had" not treated them as he should, considering the circumstauces under which he was elected, and witness tnerefore thought he would return the compliment, and for this reason he wrote the letter. He disclaimed any personal pique in tne matter or disappointment be cause ho was not successful in obtainiug office. The witness testified that Blanch ard forged the ' signatures to the election certificates. The witness declined to write the name of Jeffrion as was requested by Mr. Butler, but consented to write his own signature, which he did in two different styles? In answer to the question why he made 5 the difference in his signature, he said it suited! his. pleasure. , The witness further, said that when, he saw forged names to the electoral certifi cate, he diil not think it a matter of impor, tance to be talked about. Gen. Butler next referred the witness to the sentence in his. letter to Petter in which he said "If I could see ' electoral certificates I Could show forgery of the name of Jeffrion as well as that of Levisse. I have made marks on them to prove this beyond doubt and fo show vou men who did it.". . Butler exhibited certificates aud asked him to point out the marks of whjh he spoke of in the letter Witness replied that a difference was in the handwriting and maike up. These were the marks. Ho designated no others. Mr. Potter says that he could not yes terday introduce aresolutioh in the House asking for authority to examine the cipher dispatches and an appropriation' to pay the expenses attending the proceedings, because of the funeral exercises. Nor can he offer the resolution YinM Txt Monday, as on any other day a unanimous consent u required, anL this cannot be obtained, as ne understood mat cuiier ana otners will obiect. He will therefore offer the resolution next Monday for adoption nnder a suspension of the rules. The Ways and Means Committee to-day agreed to report favorably on the bifl making United States notes receivable for duties on imports; the bill authorising the Secretary of the Treasury tQ exchange four per cent, oonds for six per cent, s, at the pleas are af the holders thereof, and the bill providing for the remittance of taxes upon insolvent savings banks.

London-, Jan. 14. A Berlin dispatch says : The Parliamentary punishment bill continues to be the chief topic of conver sation in all political circles. The opinion f the foreign press is largely quoted in comparison with articles in the journals here, which seems to yield the curious Ire- suit that abroad there, is more opposition to the ' Chancellor's scheme than in Ger many itself, There is certainly great "op position here to the bill though, to the English mind, ; it is somewhat surprising that so much unconcern reigning in view of the fate which seems to threaten jthe freedom of speech and liberty of the press. The Xordi De,idsche,. tAUegemeine, Zeitung and Posfr'defend the Chancellor's scheme. The Koenz ZeVunf, though 'ad mitting the necessity of. some restraint on parliamentary ; speech, thinks with the Liberals that the bill in its present form is inadmissible, for the reason that it changes several articles of the? , Constitu tion, which cannot be done without a special resolution of the Reichstag to that effect. In parliamentary circles the ques tion is being discussed whether the bill, in view of certain articles of the Imperial Constitution, might not be rejected a limine. That might doubtless be done if a majority of ; the House would only re solve to do it, but many persons believe that Bismarckj despite the present opposi tion, will mltimately succeed in carrying the. measure with but few changes. The Times' Berlin dispatch says: Up to the end of last year the total number of injunctions issued in accordance with the anti-socialist law was 457.
