THE CASE OE A.« J * 7 f A NX- SENE RA l.
Detailed Report of tfie Procctdimrs in
Court* \
' WjisiD.vfiTON, Feb. 2ij.-r.The courtroom was
crowded ibis morning with bbth white and black
eneclators, to witness the proceedings attending
tbo case ol Adjutant-General Thomas, who was
arrested at the instance of Secretary Stanton, and
who on Saturday gave bail for his appearance
before Chief Justice Cartter. The members of
the bar wero also largely represented.
Adjntont-Gcneral Thomas came into court, at
tended by his counsel, Kichard T. Merrick and
Walter S. Cox, with Joseph H. Bradley, Sr., as
advisory counsel. . . .
By order of Judge Canter, at twenty minutes
post 10 o’clock, the Criminal < Court was oponed.
A subpoena was issued this morning to Mr.
Stanton to appear in Court and bring with him
his commission as Secretary of War, and also
certain official papers. ~
Judge Fisher sentenced a number of persons
heretofore convicted of crime. Two wero called
George Washington and James K. Polk, the
same names as deceased ex-Presidents of the
United States. Both of the criminals wero
colored.
Judge Oiin took his seat to the right of Chief
Justice Cartter and Judge Fisher on the left.
20 minutespast 11 o'clock— Judge C artter asked
■whether counsel was ready to proceed with the
case of the United States against General
Thomas.
llr. Riddle said—With the permission of tho
Courtlde6ire to say that professional engage
ments require Mr. Matthew 11. Carpenter, of
Wisconsin, who sits besides me, to appear in the
courts of the District. I have the honor, there
fore, to ask that he' bo admitted to practice.
The Chief Justice—Bet him be admitted for the
purposes of this examination. I will remark,
however, in this connection, that I am now sitting
bore as a magistrate, and such a motion is not,
therefore, necessary. lam personally well awaro
of the fact that Mr. Carpenter is a member of tho
legal fraternity.
Mr. Carpenter—lf your Honor pleases, with
regard to this matter of examination, which is
one, as everybody knows, of very great impor
portanco to the parties and to the public, I wish
to say that, owing to circumstances which need
not be detailed, as they have.no particular rela
tion to the ease, we desire to have the examina
tion deferred until to-morrow morning at 10
o’clock. There aro some matters which require
examination beyond what we have been enabled
thus far to bestow upon them, and in addition to
this reason I would remark that I happen this
morning to be in a condition of health which en
tirely unfits mefor entering into the examination
of such an Important case. I should, therefore,
enter upon the investigation oi this matter with
great relnctance. To-morrow morning, at 10
o’clock, I feel that we can be ready, and that we
will then ask no further delay.
The Chief Justice—ls there any objection?
Mr. Merrick, on the part of the defendant, ob
jected to having the examination postponed until
to-morrow morning. We would be very glad to
gratify Mr. Carpenter and to accommodate this
matter tohis convenience, if we did not feel the
necessity which is npon .usof objecting to the
proposition, and asking that the examination
might proceed without any delay at all. I would
suggest to the counsel that we might go so far
into the examination as the gentleman is' prepared
to go to-day, and then after wo have gone into it
in part, if absolutely necessary, the further con
sideration might be adjourned until to-morrow.
We feel constrained, though with reluctance, in
view of the condition of the gentleman's health,lo
object to the postponement of the hearing until
to-morrow.
The Chief Justice—Are there any othor rea
sons than those you have suggested which would
seem to necessitate the bearing of the ease to
day ? Ordinarily the indisposition of profes
sional gentlemen engaged in a trial, unless there
bo some especial reason for an immediate hear
ing, furnishes a sufficient cause for granting a
postponement
Mr. Merrick—l suppose your Honor would
have inferred the reason from the statements.
The Chief Justice—lt is the importance of an
early decision of the case, I presume.
Mr. Merrick—Yes, sir. The case is-one of great
public interest, and the conduct of the business
of the Government actually requires its speedy
settlement. If it were a case between private in
dividuals, and relating simply to matters of pro
perty, the counsel for General Thomas would not
hesitate under tire circumstances to acquiesce in
the suggestion of onr learned brothers on the
other side. In view, however, of the importance
of the case as a matter of great public concern we
are constrained to object, and believe that your
Honor will appreciate the force of the reason
and the propriety of the suggestion.
Mr. Carpenter—l would like to suggest, if tho
Court please, that this matter of haste in the ex
amination of the case Is very much at the dis
posal of counsel; who can be, if they choose,
food-n stored abort it, and he very brief. I think
may assure your Honor that if you will indulge
us until to-morrow wo can put our casein two
hours. The public service cannot certainly
languish a great deal within that time.
Mr. Riddle—Besides, this is not tho .final trial
pf the case. It is but the beginning, and not the
61)3.
The Chief Justice—The hearing may be con
tinued until—
Mr. Merrick—Before your Honor passes that
order, I would move on behalf of the defendant
that the case be adjourned from before your
Honor at chambers to your Honor holding the
Criminal Court of the District of Columbia. I
apprehend there is no question as to tho power
of your Honor so to adjourn the case, and from a
conversation a few moments since with Mr. Car
penter, I apprehend that the adjournment into
the Criminal Court will. be .agreeable to the
counsel upon the other side.
Mr." Kindle—My it anted friend does not sug
gest any reason why such a course of procedure
should be had. I suppose, acting as under ordi
nary circumstances,that if your Honor should ro
tain this case, you would then pass an order to
the effect that the defendant appear at the ensu
ing term of the criminal court. This motion
seems simply to anticipate that order, and- by di
rection of the court places this case more imme
diately in the control of the criminal court. We
would prefer to have action on this motion de
ferred until to-morrow, so that both questions
may be heard and disposed of at the same time.
We would like to look at the matter In all its aa
- pects. . .
~ The Chief Jußticer-I am as ready to.decide this
question now as at any time. The process pend
ing here is a process issued by a justice at cham
bers In hie' magisterial capacity, simply with a
view to a preliminary inquiry into the question
* of whether a crime has been committed or not.
The functions exercised by a justice at chambers
might have been exercised ly the same magis
trate as a court, provided tho case had been initi
ated In court, and by the magistrate as a court. ,
This -not having--been- done,-the inquiry recurs
whether It 1b good practice. Perhaps, with the
consent of ail parties, it might bo done, and per
haps the transfer might administer to the conve
nience of record, but it could not change the po
sition of the parties to the investigation whether
carried on by the court or by the magistrate.
Either tribunal must act In a magisterial ca
pacity, .resolving a preliminary inquiry into the
question whether the law has been violated.
* Now,' would it be good practice, provided the
parties consented to It, to permit the jgiln-n at
chambers to transfer his labor, if he Bits the
power to do so, over into the court? It changes
the character of the investigation in no respect;
it changes the relation of the parties to the in
vestigation in no regard, he charges,
Mr. Cox—Will your honor allow mo to state an
additional consideration—and that is,.the doubt
which exists whether while the Criminal Coqrt is
4. in.r feCßslon, the copeicleratlpn «f a . case of this
Character can be proceeded with at chambers-,
and, because of this doubt, whether it would not
be advisable to adjourn the examination over to
the criminal Court? .....
. _ Alter a brief conference with his associates on'
the bench, the Chief Justice said:
The inquiry submitted by counsel seems to pre
suppose that the duty and authority of* criminal
court is to inquire whether a orime has been
committed—that court sitting and acting in. a
separate capacity from its grand jury, a tribunal
created by the law for the purpose of making the
inquiry, Md rendering it unnecessary that the
court pheuld act. Now, the highest function
that the piogistrate can exercUo in this particular
is toinijoire whether a crime has probably bee a
committed, 1 and the highest power that he can
exercise Is the power of, holding tho public of
lenderHo'Sabswer upon trial before the court.
There is nothing in the nature of the investiga
tion, except the mere process of inquiry into the
truth; which is analogous to the ultimate trial.
■s The duty of the Judge at chambers’ia merely to
Inquire whether ah offence has .probably beeu
committed, and that being the case the propriety
of action would be in thochambwsAa a magis
trate, and not upon the bench ns a court. This
• question had before been suggested to my mind
as information as a new question. ! It Is said to
have been cited by a very high authority in this
district, not that a transfer should take place, but
lhat it might be done; but that does not affect the
question of tho propriety of the frnnehiso. While
1 should be very glad to do anything in my power
to convenience the record, or to convenience
either party in a fair investigation of the caso,
and while I will do so as far as time permits, it
seems to mo that nothing would be gained by the
transfer asked, and I therefore overrule the appli
cation. I would state that I have informally con
sulted with my brethren on the bench, and that
they all concur with me in the view I have ex
pressed.
Mr. Merrick—Then, may it please your Honor,
General Thomas having given bail to appear bc
■ foro your Honor this morning, ho is, in obe
dience to the exigency of that bond, now before
you, and surrenders himself to tho Marshal of
the District of Columbia, by whom ho was ar
rested tinder the warrant issued upon affidavit
filed on Saturday last. Ho being now, by virtue
of tho surrender thus made, in custody of tho
Marshal, I present to your Honor, holding the
Criminal Court of the District, a petition for a
habeas corpus. The following is the petition :
To the Hon. D.K. Cartter, Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, holding
the Criminal Court for the said District: Tho peti
tion of Lorenzo Thomas. That ho is now hold
in.custody by tho marshal of said District, under
and by virtue of a warrant made out and given
to said officer by your Honor, sitting in chambers.
He avers and will show that said imprisonment
is wholly unlawful and without color of authority
under the Constitution and law 9 of the United
States, upon the facts stated in the case of his
said arrest; and he prays your Honor for the
writ of habeas corpus directing the said marshal
to briDg the body of your petitioner before your
Honor iu open court, that tho cause of his "cap
tion and detention as aforesaid may be inquired
into, and he be dealt with according to law.
Mr. Carpenter—lf the Court pleases, I desire
to state that I regard this last action as entirely
unnecessary. This action lias been prosecuted
hereby the Secretary of .War for the purpose of
bringing this matter to a settlement in the courts.
There is no feeling between him and General
Thomas. Considerations alone of a public nature
linve actuated this proiccution. General Thomas
is a gentleman who will not desert, and we do not
ask that he should e ven be required to enter into
his own recognizance and surety. He cannot
come into court and make'himself a prisoner
unless the court accepts that fact,or somebody ask
him to be imprisoned. With the full latitude,
therefore, which we consent he Bhall have—and
which, I have no doubt, your Honor will very
williDgly accord to him—this application for a
writ of habeas corpus seems to be rather un
necessary.
The Chief Justice—The question is now as to
the stand and juris of the defendant. Do counsel
ask any action on the part of the court in refer
ence to the announcement that they surrender
him ?
Mr. Cox—There 1 is ho necessity for asking that
any action be had, your Honor. The accnsed
has surrendered himself to the custody of the
marshal. .
Mr. Bradley, Sr.—His bail have surrendered
him.
Mr. Cox—Yes, sir. His bail have surrendered
him. He is now in the custody of the marshal.
He is not at large. By the terms of his recogni
zance he was bound to appear before your Honor
to-day. Ho has so appeared, and now his bail
Burrcndcrbim to the marshal. Instead of being
bailed to appear on the first day of the next term
of the Criminal Court, ho was bailed to appear
here. Had he been bailed to appear before the
Criminal Court, it would havo boon compulsory
for sureties to have surrendered him at any
time. His bail see proper to surrender him here
at this time, and he is therefore now legally and
technically in the custody of the marshal, whether
there bo any personal actual restraint or not.
This being .'he case, he has a right to ask for a
writ of habeas corpus in order that the right of
the matehal or any body else to hold him in cus
tody may be tried.
Mr. Carpenter—lf the Court please, this re
cognizance did not bind the bail to return the de
fendant to tho marshal. It hound the bail to re
turn the defendant to your Honor. It. is very
clear to my mind that the dcfendantcannot come
here and ask to have himself imprisoned ns the
foundation for an application of habeas corpus.
The Chief Justice—l have never heard of a
prisoner surrendering himself to his sureties or
the marshal. It is always to the Court Where
is the process of the marshal by which General
Thomas is held? His warrant lias been returned
and the party’s recognizances have been substi
tuted. Having appeared according to tho terms
of his recognizance, he is present in court to an
swer regarding the offence charged. It appears
to me, however; that this is not a question that is
immediately bclore me as the examining magis
trate, hut rather the question to be considered by
the judge who shall entertain the application for
a wiit of habeas corpus. The question for me to
determine, as examining magistrate, is, what dis
position shall he made of the case?
Mr. Cox—Certainly.
Mr. Merrick—l was going to say to your
-Honor, if you will -allow-mo a single moment,
that if the view expressed by tho other side be
correct,then General Thomas, being before your
nonor, and they having applied for a continu
ance until to-morrow, your Honor must make
pome disposition of the prisoner in the meantime.
When that is done I can present my petition to
the Criminal Court. If your Honor discharges
him the case Is at an end; you must either dis
charge or commit.
The Chief Justice—With my knowledge of
General Thomas’s character, and especially after
tho avowal of counsel that they have full confi
dence in him, I should not hold him tor a mo
ment. '
Mr. Merrick—Then ho is discharged ?
The Chief Justice—Yes, sir. He is discharged
under the intimations here as far as any personal
appearance is concerned. The case may be con
tinued, and if Mr. Thomas is arrested it will be
hereafter, I shall not hold him to personal.im
prisonment when my own confidence in his char
acter corroborates what is said' by the prosecu
tion, and especially when they do not desire it.
Mr. Cox—lt Only remains for us to move that
he be discharged.
Mr. Carpenter—He is discharged.
The Chief Justice—That is a pertinent motion.
I will hear you on the motion that he be finally
discharged.. •, ; r
:■ Mr. Kiddle—l understandyour Honor to have
continued the cobo.
The Chief Justice—No, I have not finally acted
on that motion yet. I am ready to hear anything
jthat counsel may desiro to say on that motion to
discharge the defendant.
■ Mr. Merrick—We haye made the motion. Wo
have nothing further to say.
' Mr. Carpenter—lf the Court will pardon a
Single suggestion on - this motion, I tano it that
the arrest of the defendant, charged with the com
mission of crime, ie merely a means of enabling
the Judge or Court to exercise bis or its jurisdic
tion in the charges made against the defendant.
If the prosecution are satisfied from the character
ot the defendant that he wiU not depart; in other
words,, run away, which nobody would expect
or supposo in Gcp. Thomas, then it would be a
useless and indeed an oppressive exercise of
Sower to require him to give ball. It might-be
(Convenient to»Gen, Thornes to give ball, and
as tho Court was satisfied that it was unnecessary,
the prosecuting counsel were equally well Batia
fied, BDd therefore did Dot gsk it.
I repeat that it seems to me that it would bo a
mere matter of oppression for the Judge, in tho
exercise of his jurisdiction, to compel him to give
bail or to go to jail. This, it seems to me, has
..nothing.tftdo wjth-thfirlgbt.pf thjg.Jqdge topxor.
the matter which iabefore him., The in
vestigation into the foundation of this complaint,
into the truth of the charges made and into the
facts as matter of law, whether they constitute a
crime, that jurisdiction would
be exercised. ' r
• If, however, at any subsequent time it becamo
necessary, in the progress of the hearing, that
defendant should be required to give btil, such
an order could bu imicle; but for tho’ present the'
order of the judge, it seems to me,should be that
ho be not required to give aDy further security.
It is not asked, and from the chamcter of tho
party your Honor says it is not necessary. Then
to require it would be unjust, in a legal sense,
certainly, beeansu your Honor can’t bo driven to
ibis alternative, either to dismiss a case which
Should be investigated, or commit what Is palpa
bly an Injustice in tho investigation.
, Mr. Merrick—l desire to make a single sugges
tion to ypnr Honor. ■ . .
i The Chief Justice—lt is unnecessary, Mr. Mer- i
rick, for I have concluded to grant your motion
that the accused be dischargee, and lor these rea
sons: It is confessed here by the prosecution, or
rather stated by the prosecution—and it is a
THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN.-PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 27.1868.
(ruth which, under the cirgtimstancea of tho case,
we are all well advised of—that General Thomas
does not seek to evade tho process of the law in
any regard; that he is here, and will be here
ready to answer to its demands tvhen called upon.
This I believe. It is now the' Wednesday prece
ding the Monday when tho Grand Jury convenes
in this - District—only four days ’belore the tri
bunal charged with the presentment of all such
offences will be in session to hear this and all
other cases. Under circumstances like these,
what is my duty as an examining magistrate? Is
it to hold this c’aee from day to day for examina
tion until the Grand Jury sit; or is It'to dismissit,
and let it abide the ordinary process of justice?
It appears to me that my duty la to let this ca6e
take that course. There are no circumstances
that can bo developed in it, bb it appears to mo,
that can settle any thing before this mere inquiring
tribunal, and I cannot disguise from myself the
tact that the subject that underlies the contro
versy here is passing the ordeal of the highest
judicial tribunal in the country, and that, in con
trast with its gravity, this preliminary examina
tion here, which must terminate with the session
of the grand jury, would take on the character of
trilling. Ido not propose to be instrumental in
instituting any such proceedings, under tho
avowals made before mo to-day. I think my
duty as a magistrate is properly discharged in
dismissing the case upon the motion of counsel'
lor tlie defendant, and I shall do so. General
Thomas, you can go heDce.
As General Thomas left tho court-room with
bis counsel, several hundred porsous in the street
welcomed him with cheers. He accompanied
them to the office of Joseph H. Bradley, which is
in the immediate vicinity of tho court-house.
The State Department has received tho follow
ing letter from Air. Burlingame:
fiiiANOHAK, December 11, 18G7. —Sir : You
will have learned from my telegram from Pekin
of my appointment by the Chinese government
as Envoy to tho Treaty Powers, and of my ac
ceptance of the same. The facts in relation to
tho appointment are us lollows:
I was in the Perccpy, proceeding to the treaty
ports of China to ascertain what changes our citi
zens desired to have made in the treaties, provid
ing a revision should be determined upon, alter
which it was my intention to resign and go home.
Tho knowledge of this intention coming to tue
Chinese, Prince Rung gave a farewell pinner, at
which great regret was expressed at my resolu
tion to leave China, and urgent requests were
made that I would, like Sir Frederick
Bruce, state Chino’s difficulties and inform the
treaty powers of their sincere desire to be
friendly and progressive. This I cheerfully
promised to do. During the conversation Wen
siang, a leading mun of the tmpirc, said: “Why
will yon not represent us officially ?” I repulsed
the suggestion playfully, and the conversation
passed to other topics. Subsequently I was in
formed that the Chinese were most desirous, and
a request was made through Mr. Brown, Secre
tary of the British Legation, that I should delay
my departure for a few days until a proposition
could be submitted to me. I had no further con
versation with them until the proposition was
made in form, requesting me to act for them as
ambassador to all the treaty powers. ,1 had in the
interim thought anxiously upon the subject, and
after consultation with my friends determined,
in the interests of our country and civilization,
to accept. The moment the position was
fonnully tendered I informed my colleagues of all
the facts,and am happy to say that they approved
of the action of the Chinese, and did all they
could to forward the interests of the mission. J.
AleLeavy Brown, Chinese Secretary of the British
Legation, was persuaded in the common interest
to act as Post Secretary to the mission, and Air.
Dechamps, a French gentleman who had ac
companied Piang on a visit to Europe, was se
lected as second Secretary. Two Chiaese gentle
men of the highest rank were selected from the
foreign office to conduct the Chinese correspon
dence and as carriers. Aly suite wUI number
about thirty persons. I shall leave for the United
States by the return steamer for California. I
limit myself in this note to the above brief his
tory of the mission, reserving my reasons for
accepting it to a personal Interview at Wash
ington. . ' .
I may be permitted to add that when the o’dest
nation in the world, containing one-third of tile
human race, seeks for the first time to come into
relations with the West, and requests the young
est nation, through its representative, to act as
the medium of such change, mission is one
not to he solicited or rejected.
Dr. S. Williams, for the sixth time, has been
left in charge of tho United States Legation in
China, and is in every respect competent to con
tinue its affairs.
Permit me to request the government, most
earnestly, not to name my successor until I can
give it information which may be-useful in
tusking a selection.
I have the honor to be, sir, yonr obedient ser
vant, Anson BrAi.iNGA.wis.
Hon. W. 11. Seward, Secretary of State.
Another Speech from the President*
A committee from Baltimore presented to tho
President yesterday the resolutions adopted at a
public meeting held in January lust, urging ear
nest measures for the belter protection of Ame
rican citizens abroad. The committee, through
ituir chairman, expressed their deep sympathy
nil]) the President, in this his hour of trial, de
claring that he had tho good wishes and support
t>l the groat majority of the people of Baltimore.
The Prebidint, in reply, assured the committee
ihut eflorts have been, and are yet being made,
to accomplish tho purpose presented by the
resolutions of the Baltimore meeting, and nothing
would be left undone to carry out’ an object so
entirely in accordance with his own convictions
and feelings. In reply to that portion ot tho ad
dress with reference to the questions now agitat
ing the public mind, lie remarked the encourage
ment they gave alfcrded him a gratification which
words were inadequate to express. He said :
Pointing you to the past as an index of what my
luturc conduct will be, I beg you to believo that in
an bom Bt effort faithfully to discharge the high and
responsible duties imposed upon me by the con
stitution and the laws, I will consider no perso
nal sacrifice too great for me to bear. Such a
sacrifice cannot bo compared with the great ob
ject to be attained of preserving the principles of
our Republic by a strict adherence to the consti
tution und the laws made in pursuance of its pro
visions. God being willing, I will perform my
duty, let the consequences bo what
they may. From my advent in puol’.c
life, now :some years ago,.; until the.present
time, 1 have passed through many ordeals in my
struggles for the interests of the people. Never,
however, have I for a moment swerved from the
straight line of duty, and, standing in their pre
sence, lean sincerely declare that asyet there,
has been no occasion when,having been assigned
to the dnty, I have abandoned my post. I rely
now, as in the past, upon the intelligence, the
patriotism,and the virtue of the American people,
who, I believe,'will come with all their might
and tjtielr \ strength to the rescue of their
country, and save it from the destruction “which
now stems to threaten its ruin.. My faith in the
American people is strong and abiding. I have
never betrayed them; nor do I believe that now.
when the waves ot passion , threaten to cugulph
the land, they will desert or abandon one who, in
thtir eaußf), is engaged in on earnest struggle for
the preservation of constitutional liberty aud the
supremacy of the civil aulhority.

The London Fre*»s on Derby’s Boslg>
London, Feb, 26.—The London Times says
that Lord Derby’s resignation was a foregone
conclusion, so also was tho succession pf Mr.
Disraeli, as no other man has an equal right to
lake tho tory lead. The Times thinks that Lord
.CUklmeford. wilj e rqtire, jjut JIQ other change Is
likely, and sees no reason in the present circum
stances why the ministry should not be perma
nent. .
i The London JVeres says it Is possible that Lord
Cronbourne may succeed Lord Nortbcdte in the
Indian office, and Lord Stanley may be made a
Peer, and represent the government iu the House
of Lords..
; The Tfifirrcip/*,-discussing :tho posltloh_df the :
new miniMry, intimates that Mr. Disrueli cannot
expect the indulgence due his veteran and revered
predecessor.
; The Standard says the previous task of Mr
Disraeli as Chancellor of the Exchequer was one
of great difficulty, but he is best fitted by courage
tact, experience, and his close relations • with
Earl, Derby, to succeed Iu the still more difficult
task which now devolves upon him.
1 The Tost declares that Disraeli now becomes
Prime Minister less on his own merit than be

the lake townß and cities from possible incursions of
the enemy,audthatthey were,notataUadapted:to
preventiDgsmuggliDg. NHeealathfltthecostofthose
vessels lasl year was $161,000, and that they had-not
rendered the leust service either in preventing smog*
gling or in any other way. - . .
Mr. HuaiPHßßT.of New York, gave a different view
of the subject, and said lx those vessels were with

the government would deliberate before it would do ad
eet so largely In tho intereBtofernnggler&,
Mr. Washburns,-of 111 nob, stated that those ent
tern werd built under a scare ami apprehension chat
the United St'itce mrgpt bAVd a row wlltf Canada, imS
that they were never intended for revenue purposes.
He bad hud ldtere from gentlemen living near the
lake*, entting that there was no extravagance rarre
imsfcc&sablc than ihatatalißng those revenue cotters,.
A schooner could bo bought for &2.000. and run fur
$2O or #BO a day, that would do more (service against
smuggling 1 chan all those steam cutters.
Mr. Upson, of Michigan, remarked that not one of
them had ever made a seizure.
Mr. Pike, of Maine, suggested that the steam cut
ters were handy for picnic purposes.
Mr. Ai.i.ison, of lowa, eald (hat he was assured by
many oftiterß of that service that It was a fraud upon
tho government.
Mr. Lyncii, of Maine, thought it rather suspicious
that the opposition to these steam cutters came from
the representatives of constituencies who might have
interest In rendering smuggling easy.
Without dispcfilDg ot the subject the Committee
rose, and
Mr. -Yak Trump, of Ohio, presented a petition from
citizens of County, Ohio, In f tvor of a general
reduction oi the army and navy and civil exponpc* 0 f
