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

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

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

dustrious correspondent of the Gazette may feel

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

Naval Ad'ulrs to eiU.blt what ev Ideuca they nave lu

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.
