TIIE DAILY EVENING TELKG R API! PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 22, 18G9. 5 E3t AD ME1SURES AT WASHLNUTON. Our Own Oorreirpondent. lhe Hcuitle'a Veto or lhe InanffiirMtlou Jlnll. Wasiiinotom, Jan. 21, 1869. The most dis consolate net of men In Washington JustniwU the Committee on the Iuaniriiratiou Hall. Tko feaolution granting the ute of the rotunda for the dance went through the House with uch a flourish that no opposition was anticipated in the Senate. Hut the Senate is a grave body, and the Senators are crotchety sometimes. There is only one -hinff certain about them; thatls they will not pass anything without a debate' No matter how trivial the subject, every Senator has an idea that he must say something about It, whether he really hus anything to say or not The debate everything is dignified with the . name of debate in the Senate on the resolution 'n question occupUs nearly three solid columns of the G obe. It is curious to noto tho motives aud reasons which influence! Senators in voting lor or HniiM this resolu tion. Mr. Fcsscudou favored it becansevNiiih he don't danco himself, he does not wlh to"M to selfish us to keep other persons from danclnir. Mr. Patterson, of New Hampshire, is a Presby terian, bcbldes being an ex-professor of a New England college, and neither his religion nor his sense of propriety would allow him to dunce. The Jolly Senator from Nevada Nye remembers that Le was once young himself, and imagines that he could do his share in a b ill room yet, and so he pecs for tho resolution Our Scotch I rUh Presbyterian, Cameron, mljjh favor a legislative caucu3 at which the nomina tion of a Senator was to be "fixed" beiug held In the rotunda or anywhere else, but it would be sacrilegious to have a dance thure. Besides, it is to be a '"dry dauce,'' and our Senator think a glass of "geuerous wine" is good for bo'.h young aud old, Py the way, here i just where the Committee mule their mistake. Ihey tuouunt to conciliate the temperance men of tho Henry Wilson stripe by prohibiting the use of all kind Of liquors at the bull. But they not only had the temperance men againat them, but the Senators who like a glass of "generous wine." A clause of this kind in the resolution might have saved it, for the temperance men arc far from bcii.g in the majority in the Senate. It may be very proper in the Senate to forbid dancing in the rotunda, and their action no doubt looks very virtuous to people at a dis tance. It is a cheap virtue, however, and those Who have seen proper to indulge iu it on this ccasiou do not happen to have the merit of consistency. I need hardly bay to old visitors at the Capitol that the committee-rooms, the receptiou-room, and the lobbies ot the Sena'.e are Dot the best places in the world to acquire a high-toned morality. 1 shall not say whai might bo taid about the committee rooms, but Bball slmplv content myself with stating whst most people hero know to be a fact, to wit: Thai, the churacter ot many of the visitors at the reeeptlon-room of the Seuute is such that high, toned, virtuous women do not care to be sceu there. Two wrongs do not, of course, make one right; but still the Senate reception-room is so much nearer the Senate Chamber thau the rotunda, that the wouder is the former did noL come in tor a share of tho pious concern maul lested about the latter. The Senate I.nzznronl." Nothing is more common thau to hear Sena tors aod inembeftexpies3 their contempt oi the criticisms ot the public press. They are respon sible, they say, to their "couBtituents" forget ting at the same time that these "constituents." are dependent upon the newspapers for most, if not all, of what they know about them. And yet, perhaps no class of men, whether iu official or private station, aie so iuicnsely sensitive to . the criticisms of the press as these same con temptuous Senators aud members. Scarcely a , week passes without three or four "personal ' explanations" in both houses. Ot course a ne vs. paper paragraph is always the text from wbioa the explanatory sermon is preached. Sjine unfortunate newspaper correspondent, whose duty it is to sit in the reporters' gallery, and submit hour after hour aud day after day to tUe iLflictiou of the dull routine of legislative business, aud the still more intolerable panishi went ot listening to heavy, uniuteresiing speeches, is usually selected as the scapegoat u these occasions. He has the pleasure of hearing bim?elf denouueed by some injured Sanatoria ii.noccnt, aud his only revenge is to take d s a ' the worst things said, and correct the indifferent grammar aud worse Knglish of bis assailant The most recent "peroonal explaui tion" was ma le by Senator Ilarlau, of Iowa, on Monday last. Harlan is a quiet, luoil'eusl e sort of a mau, not remarkably brilliant, bit reported to be very pious, and, like Cie jar's wife, above siupicion. He very seldom speaks, except upon subjects relating to the pubUc lands or matters pertaining to the Indians. Upon both of tneae he is perfectly at ho,ne. II as sumed a dtcidediy injured uppearauce while the Clerk read the extracts 'about the railroad ami other j b iu whi2li lie is accused of being con cerned by tue coiespondtnt ef tue Ciucinnati GazeUe. I'-veiybody supposed that the Iowa geuat' r woiild tieat the errii.g corresponded . mildly, even if he did nol regard the whole thing philosophically. At fiist, indeed, he was disposed to be phila-oph'cal, and divided tho newspaper n:eu into lure.i grades, but, at tint moment he must have caught the eye of the Im petuous Couuess o. California, who tias had some experience in tne business of personal explana tions, at a wLo, like the war steed that scents the battle afar off. was t-aerto participate in the fight. Hirlau caught sjme of the fiery nature ot Couuess, and eliciting his fist at the reporters' gallery, denounced the occupants us "luzaaront and scavengers." Well, we shall sc who pets the best ot the fight. Perhaps the in dustrious correspondent of the Gazette may feel Jt his duty to print some things which neither Senatois Italian, Pouieioy, or Connes are purticiiiarly ahxious ton ad themselves or to have tbo pubhc read. The 1'lillrtUelpiilH fc'nvy Yard Investiga tion .uiu. The etUlorlal which appeared iu The Ten: CBAi'H of Tuesday, entitled "The Navy Yard Invesliea.iou," was the subject of a personal explanation iu the House yesterday afternoon In order to do jiisilce to all parties, I subjoin a full retort of I. I ought perhaps to say, in justice to Judge Kd'.ey, that tho facts set forth in mv letter idative to the matter were not obtained from h!oi. but from another source. I uni informed, however, bv members of the com luittee, that they are more than sustulned by the evidence aud the report. It is a curious laot that the pi inting of this report has been steadily resli-ted by Engineer teller's friends, chief auioug whom isauin. uauuaii: I tr. Kerey Utfore proceaiuj to discuss the bill before the Honso, I Pak leave to do what I have never done In eight yearaof Congressional life take two or three ml.autes for a personal explanation. Mr. Iibnuall I shall object unless I can bare an opportunity of replying Mr. Kttlley I ttiiall have no objeotton to my colleague having the length of tluie that I 00 cupy to reply to me. Mr, Randall Then I make no objection. Mr. CovoJe Ilpfore my colleague proceeds, I wish to say that It is my intention to let debate upon this bill run for a reasonable leugtti of lime, so as to allow Its frlentlH aud opponents to be beard, and then I shall demand the pre vlons question. Mr. Kclley Mr. Hpeaker, near the close of the last sevtlon the House lulopeil a resolution ln Hlructlng the Committee on Naval Afllrs 10 inquire into the lciiallty and regularity of the purchase of certain Uxln by Culef Engineer eller, of the Philadelphia Navy Yard. The Naval Committee, under the instruction of that resolution, appointed a sub-connnlitoa of three of its members to proceed to Phl.adelptiia and make the examination, which they did, collect ing a large amount of testimony, and making a pemorjHl examination of the tools. The ad journment waH too near to permit the prepara tion and premutation of a report, but when Con less reassembled the snh oomiullleee whs ready with its report, or nearly so, and mit iiiii.ted it to the Committee, iogtlier with tue voluminous leslirnosiy. Tne NuvhI ComtniUee liiKtrueted the chairman of the sub commitlee, myself, to make the report to the lloiiso. and ank that it tie recommitted aud printed, ho iuit each member of the Naval Committee ciju'U examine it during the recess, that we niighle prepared to act upon It at the clo of the recess. Accordingly, Iwas recognized by the Speaker, aud made the motion, wheq, to my surprise, my colleague Ironi tlie Flint vUbtrlot, (Mr. Kaudall) objected. That was ou tho Wednesday preceding the holidays Waiting until the Friday before the recess, I renewed the requunt for leave to re port under the instructions of the com-ntre, and my colleague from the Berks dmtrlct (Mr. Oil.) Iu behalf of an absent colleague I sup pose my colleague from the first district. ob jected. Thus, the teport and evidence com id not be printed. I find in a paper yesterday, XllK KVKNINd Tklkgkapu of Piilladelphla, au elnboialbly pifpuied ariie.le, eviOehtly written by somebody familiar with all the Uuts counecltd with the 1 urcbases in question, in which the passage occurs which I will ask to have reinl at the Clerk's desk. It charges the committee with lalsely aspersiu too character of tho Knglneer Corps of tue navy, but with withholding the evidence in tho case from the public while acttuu thus uu worthily. I make this statement simply to call attention to the fact that the committee have been diligent in their efforts to get the while matter before Cougress, and to the further fact that the committee is now meeting from day to day, listening to the arguments of two able counsel employed by Chief Knglneer slier and Mr. John Roach, aud that tuey cunot again offer the report until the engineer, wao is lu that article said to be injured by our with holding the evidence, and the contractor, from whom he bought the tools, withdraw their counsel, or they conclude their very protracted aigumcnis. I now ask the. Clerk tu read the paragraph. The Clerk read as follows: "Wltbuut inking any sides In tills quarrel, we merely desire to give lair niaieaiHin ot the ai Uter uh it Bluinlfi. If Cnlel Knglnt er Mier Is guilty ol Hie cliniKes biouglit against lil'ti, be should u cuuri umrUtiUd and illsiuls ed lliesrrvlre; If lie Is Innocent and U endeavoring to manege the all'alrsuf li la de partment la Hie Navy Yard in best interest of the Government, he Is enlLled. to a complete and eu.pt alio exonerailon. "JlavlDK Burred up Hits ma'ter, ojr Congreismen owe it to themselves and tlielr cons Iiueuts 10 make good tlielr accusations to the letter. The case stands Ui us: Jiidte Kwllcy baa brought cer aln charges BKalnst the engineer of i lie vr.rd hut, he has as yt producd bo evidence to support his statements.

It now remains for the Commit ce ou Naval Ad'ulrs to eiU.blt what ev Ideuca they nave lu their po sessloD." Mr. Ktlley It will be perceived that the reuuou tne whole matter is uot before the couu try is that. Mr. Zuller and Mr. Kcach, of whom he bought the tools, are preventing H. Tuatls all I uthire to nay; aud now, iu fulU'rueiit of my agreement, 1 jie;d to my colleague (Mr. IUDdHlI). Mr. Kandail I have for the first time board this article read, aud I have never been It. I desire to reply Mmpiy to one pjiat. iu my col league's remarks, and that Is to the point as to where my ol jeclion came in; and I will say to him and to tue House that, uudor similar cir cumstances, 1 would do the same thing again. I will tell blua why. The resolution to which he has referred was a resotuMou of inquiry got up by himself, as I believe, fr no otuer pur ncsea thun tboseofa political character, to bear upon the recent election. Having utterly lulled, lis 1 Deiieve, in uiu eimtuvuis iu uii, respect, becomes before 1 his House, and bdus la what 1 am led to believe la a most unfair aud unjust report a report not lu auy ma mer approved by the comn1L11.ee. (la the contrary, tue eommitiee are no couBiueriug meim-is which he has represented, 1 iniua, in a partisan manner. 1 am trld. aud 1 really believe, that the investigation has beeu unfair. I have been told by men wuo nave oeen exaimceu neiore that committee that they were not allowed to give full answers to the questions propounded to them, but were stopped tu the middle of sentences and not allowed to go on. Thut is the reason that 1 ot Itoieu. 1 want both eldei to be heard before any turn's charac ter is taken away to suit toe wuiuis ana caprices of any one. Mr. Stevens win tne genviemau auow me to lu'.errupt htm a moment ? Mr. Iliiudall Certainly. Mr. Htevens I desire to say that the state ments the gentleman has made fouu led un doubtedly upon Information he Has roceived outside of this House have no foundation lu fact. Mr. Randall I cau give the geutlemaa my authority. , Sir. Stevens wo witness nas ueeu moppeu m his answers before the committee. Mr. Kaudall I cau produce, lu print, the statement of a witness that he was not allowed to fully answer the questions put to him. Tht is the reason, and the only reason, why I ob fected. As that article says, If this man Zetler nas been guilty of any mlsdetneauor, let hitn be court-martialed and cashiered. Hut I have po idea that the character of a man who has eerved Iodk yeaib In the navy shall be taken from hlra by any politician, be ho a high one or u low one. . Mr, Kclley Very well: the country will now understand why the evidence is not before tue House. It will be observed from the above that Mr. Stevens of Ne Hampshire, who is a member or the Nsval Committee, and was also a member of the sub-committee charged with the inye.sthj:i. tioD, denies the statements of Mr. Randall.
