SACRED SILENCE.
Never with blast of trumpets.
And the chariot wheels of flame
Do the servants and eons of the Highest
Fits oracles proclaim;
But when grandest truths are uttered
And when holiest depths are stirred,
When our God himself draws nearest,
The still, small voice is heard.
He has sealed His own with silence;
His years that come and go,
Bringing still their mighty measures
Of glory , and of woe,—
Have yon heard one note of triumph
Proclaim their course begun?
.One voice or bcU give tidings
Who their ministry was done ?
Ur.beralded and unheeded
Die revelations come,
His prophets before their scorners
Stand resolute, yet dumb;
But a thousand years of silence—
And the world falls, to adore.
And kiss the feet of the martyrs
It cr. cified before!
shall I have a part in the labor,
In the silence and the might
Of the plans Divine, eternal
That he opens to my sight?
In the strength and the inspiration
'AIM Ills crowned and chosen know?
0 well songs my darkest sorrow
Into of triumph flow I
For I hear in this sacred stillness
The fall of angelic feet,—
I feel white bands on my forehead,
• With a benediction sweet:—
They say to nie, "Labor in silence—
For dearer to God are the songs
Of one earnest and loving whit
Than the pavans ofjoyfurthrongs."
The rivulet sweetest murmurs
Afar in the forest glade,
And the nightingale wildest warbles
From depths of leafy shade
$o tie poet sings most divinely
Yam the noisy crowd apart,
And the lays most worthy of laurels
Are those he hides in his heart.
0, I hear in this sacred stillness
The fall of angelic feet,
I feel white hands on toy forehead,
With a benediction sweet;
No echo of worldl7 tumult
My beautiful vision mars;
This silence itself is music,
Like the silence of the stars!
some Account of a Slight Mistake.
BY JOHN QUILL
I must look like a great many different
people. At various times in my life I have
been wept over as a long lost brother; ar
rested as a well-known burglar; exulted over
as a returned prodigal son; toadied to as a
popular politician; shot at as a notorious
border ruffian; mistaken and kissed by affec
tionate and good-looking daughters as a
heavy father; thrashed as a false lover, and
run away from by people who regarded me
as the ghost of some dead man or other.
And now here is a woman who swears I
am her truant husband, and who has pro
claimed the fact so loudly that there is a fair
prospect of my serving out a sentence in jail
for the crime of bigamy.
I was sitting in the parlor of the hotel at
Oldcastle, Delaware, the other day, talking
with some friends, and there was a hatchet
faced female, with two children, looking out
of the window at the other end of the room.
Directly she turned around, looked at
me for a minute, and with a wild
cry of delight sprang forward, flung
her arms around my neck and kissed me about
sixty-four times. Drawing back indignantly,
as soon as I was able, I said in my severest
tones:
"Madam, what is the meaning of this out
rageous conduct ?"
`Oh, my dear William, have I found
you at last ? Oh, my dear, dear Wil-
And !"
she commenced strangling and smoth
ering me again.
"Madam," said I, sternly, "you may have
found me at last, but I want you distinctly to
understand that my name is not dear Wil-
liam"—for I was mad.
"Oh, William," says this scandalous fe
male, still hanging on to my neck and muss
ing my shirt collar, "Oh, William,do you not
recognize your own fond Maria? Do you not,
dear William ?"
"No, I do not recognize my own fond Ma
ria, dear William," was my reply. "I never
bad a fond Maria of my own in all my born
days, and what's more, I don't want one,
either. You'd better go and lie down, you
don't seem well."
"Our dear children know their father,"
said this wretched woman. "Come here,
Mary Jane and Matilda, and kiss your loving
papa."
Then both of her brats pranced up and
grabbed me by the trousers and wanted me
to kiss them.
"Why, you two children, don't pretend to
say I'm your father, do you ?''
"Oh, yes, you are our dear papa," said
both of these depraved youngsters.
"Why, you scandalous little story-tellers!"
said 1, "ain't you ashamed •to tell such an
awful fib? Don't you know where wicked
story-tellers of your age go ? Let go of me,
or - 1:11 larrup you till you can't stand; I will,
upon my sacred word and honor."
"Oh, William, dear," said their mother,
"you surely remember the happy, happy
days of our courtship, when beneath the soft
moonlight we walked together by the side of
the murmuring strain, and whispered the soft
accents of affection ?"
"No, I don't remember any such thing,
and I never did it either. I never walked
out in the moonlight; I never heard a stream
murmur in the whole course of my life, and
I always was down on the soft accents of af
fection. So you see there's no use of both
ering me."
"And do you not recollect the time you
first came to our home, and sat in the back
parlor with me, until father got mad and
walked in and kicked you down stairs ?"
"Of course I don't. I'd have smashed him
on the nose if he had kicked me, you can
bet. I wotildn't have stood any of his non
sense. I tell you I'm not the man.
"And then nest day my two brothers met
you in the street, and because you had won
my young love, tackled you and thrashed
you nearly to death? Do you not remember
this, dear William?
"I tell you my name ain't William, and I
don't know your relations or. their heft, but
you never had a brother or a cousin, or any
other relation, who was able to thrash me.
I don't want any of your family fooling
around me. I'll Bog a whole mass-meeting
of them. Now go away from me or I'll call
the landlord," Paid I, for this woman begun
to get aggravatiug.
"OM William' says she, "you have for
gotten all that happy past, lam afraid. But
surely, dear, you can call to mind Jim Sykes,
who was your rival for my hand, and who
used to come round of evenings and try to
slt•you out, and who made you so mad, by
his attentions to me? You remember him,
dotet.you, my dear William?"
"Mwiam, if you mean me by that phrase,. I
don% If I had been courting you, and hid
had a rival, I would have backed square out
and given him all the chances. I would have
done more. I would have given him ten dol
lars to go in and win, and take you off my
bands, and considered the money well spent.
1 Wish 13111 was here, I do, indeed. Spose'n I
tend for him? shall 1?"
"0 no, dear, it's no use, we are married
now."
"If we are, I'm a Dutchman. I'd rather be
in the penitentiary on a life sentence. If I
were married to you I'd blow my brains out
with the very first horse-pistol I came across,
and make a will, to keep you from going to
the funeral; I would indeed." .
"Oh, William," says this annoying female,
"you are trifling with me. You certainly
remember the night you seized my hand,
and, with trembling voice, asked me to be
yours? And you know how I blushed and
bowed my head upon your bosom and wept
tears of tender joy."
"I certainly don't remember any such
ridiculous thing. I don't believe you can
blush to save your life, and as for butting
around on my waistcoat with that bandolined
head of yours, I'd see you in Kansas before
I'd allow it."
"And then," continued she, without no
ticing my remarks, "you took me to the
altar and made me your bride, and led me
away to our happy, happy home, and—"
"I'd like to lead you over a pier into fifty
feet of cold water some time."
"And then our friends loaded us down with
presents, tokens of their heartfelt affection."
"I never got a cent's worth off any of your
miserable friends," said I, "I don't believe
any.of them ever shelled out a dime either.
Blow me if . I do."
"And then as our memories go back over
the sweet past we cannot forget when our
first child was ,
born, little Mary Jane here,
and you were pretty near crazy with delight,
and had to eat your dinner in the kitchen for
nearly two weeks, while the nurse nearly
bullied the life out of you. Ah, I remember
it so well."
"But I don't. See here, madam, this is get
ting serious; let go of my collar,will you. I've
got an engagement with a man around the
corner.'
"William, my husband, why do you treat
me thus coldly ? Try to recollect something
that occurred in our once pleasant home.
See' if you cannot recall the times
.1 caught you kissing the hired girl in the
entry, and discharged the huzzy the very next
day._
Woinan, I have no recollection of the cir
cumstance, but I can readily account for
such conduct on the part of any man, if you
were the only other female about the house.
I wouldn't kiss you for the whole national
debt."
"Or perhaps you can remember the night
you came home intoxicated, and I flew at
you this way with the broomstick and beat
you?" And the woman actually hauled off
with her parasol and aimed a violent blow at
my head. I jumped behind a chair, and then
made a dash for the doer, and succeeded in
escaping.
But what does this preposterous female do
but walk right down to an alderman and
swear that I was her husband, and have me
arrested? A more barefaced outrage was
never perpetrated upon a human being, find
the worst of it is, that everybody thinks she
is right, for there does seem to be an intrinsic
probability that every woman knows her
own husband when she sees Y.

The ➢leat of the Bison.
An English paper says: "Lord Wharncliffe
has a herd of bisons, which were running
wild until lately in Wharncliffe Chase, and
are now in an enclosure there. One of those,
a,bull, lately became so savage that it was ne
cessary to destroy it. Mr. Frank Buckland
writes In Land and Water: 'The poor bull
has now suffered for his ferocity, and has
been turned into beefsteaks. The meat is
grand eating, with a slight game flavor,
possibly a little hard, which perhaps was
my fault in having it broiled, but many de
grees bettor than `hippocreas,' or horse
flesh. I distributed the meat sent to
me in small portions to various friends ;
they all agree as to ,its excellent quality.
I We should all be much pleased that Lord
Wharncliffe is cultivating bisons. They will
\doubtless do well in the country. One hardly,
hears of a gravel pit or a new brick field be
ing opened up on the London basin without
discoveries being made of the bones of bos
something or another, bos longifrons, bos
primoginlls, &c. England is doubtless 'a
1 bos i carrying country, and any new variety
1 of beef will be most acceptable to the public,
I while the animals themselves would be highly
1 ornamental to parks, and be a change upon
the übiquitous and old-fashioned fallow deer.
Lord Wharncliffe has, I believe, presented
! the skeleton of his bison to Prat'. Rollestou,
of Oxford.' "

THE GETTYSBURG
HATALYSLNE WATER
WONDERFUL CURES!
The remarkable facts connected with the discovery and
history of the GETTYSBURG KATALYSINE SPRING
have rapidly, spread all over the country, and Invalids are
everywhere using the water as a remedy for Ilintuna
tism, Gout, Gravel, Dyspepsia, Kidney, Urinary, Bron
chial, and other diseases, including Debility and prestra
ion of the vital powers, caused by mental and physical
exceises.
The proprietors have new the pleasure to announce that
they have completed arrangements for supplying the
GETTYSBURG KATALYSINE WATER in such quart.
titles as will probably meet the increasing demand.
Anything like a detailed statement of the singular cony
tivelmwere of the Water, as demonstrated by letters con.
staidly being received from the moat reliable sources and
unquestionable authority, cannot be given within any
reasonable space in the columns of a newspaper, and wo
therefore add only a few of the statements received, to
prove conclusively that we make no claims beyond what
can be fully substantiated by well-attested facts as given
by invalids themselves and Physicians who have used the
GETTYSBURG WATER,
The Cures of the•Gettyeburg Water.
The variety and extent of the curative virtues of the
GETTYSBURG KATALYSINE WATER wilt appear
from the statements and reports of physicians and inva
lids embraced in the Circular of the Company, which will
druggist's t ree of charge on applicatio curative or to any
stores. Some idea of these and resto
rative virtues may be formed from the following state
month and reports which we quote from this document;
A distinguished American physician. whose attention
has been directedro the extraordinary curative pheno
mena presented by the Gettysburg Water, is John Bell,
M. D. of Philadelphia.
This gentleman is the author of a "Treatise on Bathe,
and an account of the Mineral and Thermal Springs in
the United States and Canada," and is regarded as one of
the highest authorities ou these subjects by his medical
brethren. lie says : "Hume experience has anticipated
the conclusions& awn from chemistry, and by analogy.
from the eflects of the waters of other springs. It tells is
that the Gettysburg water has produced signally curative
and restorative effects in different forme of dyspepsia—
sickness of stomach, heartburn, water brash, acute nen•
ralgic pains, and loss of appetite—and also in chronic
diarrhtea and torpid state of the liver. Gout, chronic
rbetanation , and resulting nodosities of the joints, have
been overcome to a remarkable extent by the drinking of
this water. Approaching and actual paralysis have been
carried off by the mune means. In one cast:diabetes, that
often unmanageable disease, was arrested in its pro.
gress. D iabetes, Blindness, Etc..
"I reside in Chaplin, Windham county, Coma.; am 40
years old. Eighteen months ago my physical and men
tal energies began to fail, my appetite and thirst became
ravenous, and, in fine, I was attacked by a severe turn of
diabetes, which reduced me 40 pounds in two weeks, and
so prostrated me that I was scarcely able to move myself
in bed.
I commenced with three gills of this water per day,
taking a gill at a time. It at first increased the urina
tion, And tended to aggravate the symptoms, but soon
atter I began to rapidly reco . er. The deadly' pallor of my
face gradually gave place to the hue of health, and I be
gan to regain my substance and to increase in weight.
At the present time I am able to move
about and feel the etsongest confidence in my ultimete
complete recovery. I omitted to state that 1 had nearly
lost my eight, and could hardly distinguish members of my
own family scrose the room. Can now read without
glasses, and experience no eitficulty whatever in this re
spect. My howels that were constipated and bloated pre
vious to using the Water, are now natural and regular in
their action.

I have the gratificationlo declare that my experience cor

have been on four occasions confined to bed for five
months with acute inliamiantioa. The last attack com

pain produced by this terrible malady. I was so crippled

mouths, and I expected to be in thin condition for the re

A 'single cure of Dyspepsia w ith this water, referred to
by Dr. nell, with the accompanying remarks of this dis
tinguished medical writer upon its extraordinary power
on thin hydra of dieeare, will suffice. It is that of Mrs.
'law nay, of Adartis county, ra. Mrs. Yawner says: •
"1 have been afflicted IA ith a stomach disease or dye.
•pepSla in one (~ f its meet terrible forms for rows twenty
years. 1 tried medicines and the preecriktions of various
skillful physicians us long ea I could retain medi
cine on my s mach.. But during the last ten years I
could not take medicines at all. I could not drink cot'
fee or tea or ether fluid, or even Collillon water, without
vomiting, uud could barely take kutlicient food to sustain
life. I was gradually reduced almokt to a ekeleton; was
so week meet at the Buie that 1 could not even nit upon
a chair; was frequently tacked with pains and harrassed
with gloomy forebodings, apprehensions and dopreselon
of epirite; was, ill incur[, one of the moot inieerable be•
jugs that ever lived. This wne my condition when I
commence° the use of Gettysburg cc toter, which wits the
only thing that would lie on my eioniach. I have used it
for enure months, and am completely recovered from my.
long aillictioue. It lute proved to me a veritable water of
life."
Gravel, Strangury, Impotence.
Dr. Thomas Shearer.of Baltimore,anintelligent Homan)*
pathic physician, has exteurively introduced this ,water
in his practice, and effected with it quite a number of re'
markable cures. Dr. shearer says.
"A gentleman connulted me who stated that for nearly

Wesilistyrote, May 18.
GOVERNMENT TELEGRAPH LINE.
The bill introduced by Representative Washburn,
of Illinois, to-day, for the construction of a govern
xnent telegraph, under the direction of. the Postofilee
Department, between New York and Washington,
provides that the Postmaster-General shall,within thir
ty days,. advertise in two:newapapers in Washington,
Daltimore, Philadelphia, and Now York City, for pro
posals for constructing a telegraph line from the Post
office in Washington to the Postoince in New York,
by way of Philadelphia and Baltimore, and sucb:•inter
mediate stations as he may designate. The Post
naaster-General shall, at the time of Opening propo
sals, also,receive and• examine any proposals trout the
proprietors of any existing line of telegraph for the
sale to the United States of the entire line of such
telegraph between any two of said cities, or for the
'entire line heroin provided for, with all the franchisee,
rights, and privileges connected therewith.
The proposal of the lowest responsible bidder Is to
'be accepted, and the work is to be of the beet charac
ter. Power is given to the Postmaster-General to es•
tablish teleeraph stations at as many post:aces along
the line as in hie judgment the public interest, with
-due regard to economy of admintetration,ehall require,
and shall employ in the business as far as practicable,
the employes of the polonies, and also special tele
graph clerks when necessary, at the customary sal
aries, and employ a general superintendent, who shall
be a practical telegrapher, at a salary not exceeding
$3,5e0 per annum. No message shall be sent unless
.stamped with a three-cent postage stamp. There
shall be a uniform rate for the transmieslon of mes
.sageewithotit regard to distance, and ono cent each
•word exclusive of address and signature, but no mes ,
Sage shall be setit for a less sum than ten cents,
and there shall be charged two cents for the delivery
of each and every message, provided the government
shall be entitled to tend and receive all its messages
over the line free of charge, and shall have priority in
vending them. And provided that when less rates
than are herein provided alien be charged by any other
telegraph line between the same points, the Post
-master-General may reduce these rates to cent=
thereto. -
And provided further, that he may direct that news
telegrams for publication by newspapers, shall be
transmitted at a reduction not exceeding fifty per cent.
on these rates. Anothersection provides that persons
tampering with dispatches, or making an improper
disclosure of their contents, shall be punished by a line
not exceeding one thousand dollars, or Imprisonment
not to exceed one year, or both, In the discretion of
the court. The stun. of 875,000 is appropriated to
carry out the provisions of the act. The bill was re
ferred to the Committee on PosUnikes and Post Roads.
Accompanying this bill Is an elaborate paper in which
it is said, although the world is indebted to the genias
of a citizen of the United Slates for the practical
development of the electric telegraph, as a
means of communication, and although
the first line upon the plan in univer
sal use was built with money furnished by Con
gress, the telegraph system has made has progress
toward perfection, and has been practically of less
-value to the masses of the people in our awn country,
than in any civilized country on the globe. In nearly
every country in Europe the telegraph has become a
speedy, certain, and economical medium of commu
nication, the inestimable benefits of which are ex
tended to the inhabitants of small towns and comma_
Pitieiras well as the great centres of trade In this
coun , xy, telegraphic communication has always been
'uncertain and expensive, and limited to chief towns
and cities. To the evils of exorbitant charges haie
been added distrust of the teleggaph as a
reliable medium of communication in case ot emer
gency, and as a safe cOnservator of the necessary se
crecy of public and private bueiness, Instead of an
auxiliary to the postal system, controlled like it by
the State, and sought like it to be made useful to the
great mimes of , the people, without regard to the pecu
niary profit and to be eecuredis it:nearly every civilized
country in the werld. We see the system in this
country in the hands of rival companies, anxious only
for extending their lines to prominent. places where
profits are to be secured, and Indifferent to the public
convenience. In abort, the popular verdict of the
people of this country, if it could be heard, would be
that the telegraph System, in view of what it Is in
other countries and might become in this, is practi
cally a failure.
The paper then proceeds to show what may be ac
complished in rendering telegraphic communication
reliable, economical, and at the same time profitable,
In this country, by referring to what is accomplished
in other countries, where the experiment has been
thoroughly tried, under the control of the State. If
them ends have been successfully accomplished in
countries like Belgium and Switzerland, where the
masses of the people , are poor, and where all but a
comparatively few persons who are engaged in trade,
or who are authorized to employ the telegraph in
cases of emergency, do not habitually avail them
eelves of its service, how much more might be accom
plished in our own country, where so few of the pop
ulation are poor, and where so large a proportion
would habitually employ the telegraph for business
and social purposes, unless dbbarred by the exorbi
tant prices now demanded for the tninsmiesion of
dispatches. In no country, under a liberal scale of
charges, would the telegraph be employed by so
groat a proportion of the inhabitants as in
this. In no country can telegraph• lines be
more cheaply built or operated. At once
after the invention and successful establish
meat of electric telegraphs, every government in Eu
rope where lines were built except that of Great
Iritain, formed a telegraph system 'in connection
with its postal system. It seems to have occurred
to show that a system of communication capable of
being so extended, and of being so useful and auxil
iary in the transaction of public:and private business,
should be' under the protection and control of the
government; that the open letters forwarded' by this
speedier means, should, like the sealed letters for
. warded by the post, be transmitted and delivered tin
der the careful supervision of the government.
gn Great Britain some few weeks since, after
twenty y,ears of trial of the system in the hands of
private computes, the people' of the British Islands
with singular unanimity demanded that the telegraph
system be placed under the control of the postal au
thority, and a bill was. introduced by the present goy
. ernment for that purpoge.
The paper concludes as follows :
In the present state of the finances of the Country it
would hardly be wise toJentet upon an extended ox.
perhnent. It should be tried at first on a limited
- scale and at small cost. If it, prove successful, and
become what the telegraph under government control
became in other countries, viz., a source of revenue,
as well as an estimable boon to the community, it
ought to be, and doubtless will be. extended.
The amount necessary to construct a line from
'Washington to New York, and to sustain It until it
becomes self-sustaining, will not exceed 076,000. It
is the belief of experienced telegeaphers that with a
tariff of charges as low as that of Belgium and Switzer
land and with an additional charge of a single postage
upon each message, the line would be self-sustaining
from the beginning, and would probably repay its en
tire cost long before the value of the structure was
: materially impaired.

investigate s quebtions which have relation to the
character and to the transactions of the Senate.
Thev propose to 'enter into an investigation of
the influences which have been exerted upon the
members of the Senate, sitting in their judicial
capacity as a Court of Impeachment. It seems
to me that if the House of Representatives have
information affecting the character of Senators,
it is their business to communicate that infor
mation to the Senate. in order that It may
take such action, as in its judgment pertains
to its dignity, to its character and
the prosecution of its business. I understand
that when this Senate is chargcd by the Consti
tution with a duty, and is proceeding to perform
that duty, nit has all the authority and power re
quisite to take care of all collateral questions
connected with its \jurisdiction. The House
having now sent a resolution asking an official
transcript of what the Senate has done, I infer
that it is not for the mere purpose of informing
that body, because it was present during all our
proceedings, and we have published officially
copies of all that has been done, except whathas
been done in private session, but it is for the pur
pose of having this body recognized, by a delibe
rate vote, the proceedings upon which they have
entered. What has the House to, do withlhe re-',
cords of the Senate in connection with any such
volunteer proceedings as that upon which some
committee of their members are about to enter ?
Mr. Edmunds raised thepoint of order that the
Senator bad no right to refer to any proceedings
of any committee of the House.
The rule was read, and Mr. Fessenden said
nothing had been done disrespectfully to the
House. The Senator from Pennsylvania was
proceeding simply to discuss the question.
After furffter argument the Chair overruled the
point of order.
Mr. Buckalew continued: The House sent no
intimation of any object for which they desire a
copy of our records, and the only supposition
that we can make is that this information is re
quired for the purpose of investigating the
Senate, or of tho Influences by which the Senate
has been affected. I rose not because this reso
lution touches me in the remotest particular, or
stirs up any feelings in my mind Other than
those of regret that the House should have gone
beyond what I think is an appropriatejurfsdic
lion, and have even asked of what I think is a
prerogative of the Senate to vindicate itself and
its own proceedings from any imputation which
should affect them injuriously with the people. I
object to the request proposed, that the proceed
ings be transmitted to the House. I insist that if
there be any cause for an investigation of this de
scription, the information should be laid before
the Senate itself, and it should act "t and that we
should oppose any such yielding of our persona
to the House of Representatives, or to the Presi
dent, or to the courts, or to anyone else what
ever. We are competent to vindicate ourselves,
to preserve, unsullied, the streams of justice so
far as we are concerned, and I am disposed to up
hold the dignity and rights of the Senate.
Mr. Sumner said that if the Senator had looked
at the statement of Mr. Bingham, he would have
seen that the purpose of the House was to ascer
tain whether the right of that body to present im
peachment is attempted corruptly to be interfered
with by anybody.
Some further debate took place.
Mr. Harlan could see no impropriety in the ac
tion of the House, and hoped a certified copy
would be given.
Mr. Conkling thought every opportunity should
be given to exculpate Senators from the grave
charges against them.
Mr. Sprague then moved to' adjourn. Not
agreed to.
Mr. Doolittle thought the Senate would make
a erect mistake if it submitted to the proposed
examination by the House. The Senate ought to
preserve its independence. He then submitted a
resolution that the Senate respectfully decline to
furnish the information, and ask the House to
furnish such facts as they may have touching the
alleged improper influence, etc.
This was disagreed to.
The question was then taken on the pending
resolution to furnish the House with the record
of proceedings of the two last days of the im
peachment trial.
No quorum voted—yeas 19, nays 6.
Mr. Conners moved that the Sergeant-at-arms
be directed to bring in the absentees.
Mr. Buckalew thought it would be more re
spectful to say tequested.
The Sergeant-at-arms then went in quest of
the absentees.
Mr. Yates thought they would have to wait all
night to get a quorum, and therefore, Moved
that the Senate adjourn.
Two members voted in the affirmative, and ten
in the negative.
Mr. Cole was of the opinion that it would be
impossible to get a quorum this eve,ning.
Mr. Sumner thought there was no further use
sitting here.
At six o'clobk, the Senate adjourned until
Thursday.
HOMO of Representatives.
Mr. EGGLENTON. of Ohio, offered a resolution recit
ing that it appears by the letter from Missouri mem
bers of the Rouse to Senator Henderson (which It
quotes In fiill),that a combination of those Represent
atives had been entered into to influence improperly
that Senator in his judgment and decision of the im
peachment now pending and undetermined in the
crenate, and providing that a select committee of five
oe appointed to Investigate all the circumstances con
nected with the writing of that letter, whether it was
written to corrupt or improperly influence the judg
ment or decision of that Senator, and to report what
action, if any, the Rouse ought to take in relation
thereto, with authority to send for persons and papers,
and to report at any time and without unnecessary
delay.
Mr. Eggleston stated that he had introduced the
resolution at the request of the members from BUB
?,onri, and he desired not to be appointed on the com
mittee himself.
Mr. EZI)ItIDGN, of Wisconsin, suggested that the
resolution be modified so as to apply also to the
telegram sent by the gentleman from Ohio (Mr.
Schenck.)
Mr. EGGLESTOIi declined, as he did not wish to get
any of the Ohio members mixed up in the matter. He
modified the resolution by striking out the words
"whereas it appears," and substituting for them the
words "whereas it is alleged."
Mr. Team moved to lay the resolution on the table.
Rejected: Yeas 15, nays 83, and the resolution was
then adopted. and the Speaker subsequently appointed
as the select committee Messrs. Scofield, of k'etinfiyl
vanis, Lawrence, of Ohio. Rldridge, of Wisconsin,
Coburn, of Indiana, and Ferris, of New York.
IN.PBACLIMENT MAITAGEItd
Mr. Boyza, of Pennsylvania, introduced the follow
us:
inereas, The managers of the impeachment of the
President, in addition to their original and proper
power and duties as such managers, have, by a resolu
tion of this House on Saturday last, been converted
into a. committee of. investigation, and have been an.
thorized and instructed to investigate whether im
Proper or corrupt influences hare been used to in
fluence the determination of Senators upon the arti
cles of impeachment exhibited by the House of Rep
resentatives against the President of the United
States, and for that purpose have been instructed to
summon and examine witnesses ander oath, and to
appoint sub-committees to take testimony; and,
IVhereas, It is in accordance with common usage, as
well as obviously proper and essential to a fair and
impartial Investigation of the truth, that upon every
committee of investigation selected by a deliberative
booy the minority should be to some extent repre
sented; and whereas, the managers of the impeach
ment were originally appointed solely for the purpose
of prosecution,
and consist altogether of armed po
litical enemies of the President of the United States,
and are instructed as prosecuting officers to convict
him, if possible, of high crimes and misdemeanors;
therefore,
Resolved, That the Speaker be authorized and in
structed to appoint, from those members of the House
who voted against the impeachment of the President,
two persons to be added to the committee of mana
gers, while acting as a committee of investigation for
the purposes aforesaid, and shall be authorized to be
present and participate' in the examination of wit
nesses in relation to the aforesaid charges of corrupt
and : improper influence alleged to have been used to
influence the determination upon the articles of im
peachment.
The question whether the resolution should be con
skiered was taken by yeas and nays, and resulted,—
' cps 28, nays 41.9. So the House refused to consider
the resolution.
. CUSTOM 110IIIM.
Mr. ABuLZY, of Ohio, offered a resolution directing
the Secretary of the Treasury to furnish information
as to the condition of the custom house and postofilce
at Toledo, Ohio. Adopted.
sums.
Mr. Beams, from the Committee on Foreign Affairs',
reported a bill making an appropriation to carry out
the treaty with Russia for the purchase of Alaska, with
reports and statements relating to the subject.
Mr. Waal:twain, of Wisconsin, presented a minority
report.
The bill and reports were ordered to be printed,•
Mr. BANKS giving notice that he would not ask ac
tion to be taken on the subject before the second week
of June.
PERSONAL EXPLANATION.
Mr.,..lrlannsou , , of Illinois. having lot five minutes
to make a personal explanation, said: I read the fol
lowing article in the Now York Tribune, furnished by
its': Washington correspondent, in last Saturday's issue:
"Trumbull is accused of recreaney and treachery, on
every side, by Republicans. Ingersoll is the only man
,of the Illinois delegation and a member of
the Rouse who follows him so far as I have
been able to gather." All I have to say with
regard to that is that the correspondent, who-
THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN---PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, MAY 19, 1868.
over ho may be; is labciring under rdleapprehenslon as
regards my own position, I am not following Ssuator
Fowler, or at:mother Senator, in regard to impeach
ment, one way or the other. (Laughter.] I also wish
to make a remark concerning a communication sent
to the New York Ller ald, which appears In the col•
limns of that paper Of last Saturday, as follows:
"Them is considetable indignation at Ingersoll among
his colleagues from I Snots, because he is understood
to sympathize with benator Trumbulloon theimpeach
meat proceedings." I suppose it is proper for me to
state that I am not aware there is any - feeling of indig
nation in the breasts of my colleagues towards my
self, either concernie” impeachment or any other
matter.
hir. JONES offered the following as a privileged
question:
ll'hereas, This Henn did; in bed judgmeni and hot
haste, pass a resolution and adopt articles of impeach
ment against Andrew Johnson, President of the Uni
ted -States, and appoint managers to conduct the suit
before the' High court of the Senate; and whereas, it
has been abundantly proven that there was no cause
or plausible pretext for the same; and whereas, the
Senate and the country labor tinder great excitement
and embarrassment; be it, therefore,
iterrotred, That the managers be instructed forth
with to withdraw said suit, that the House may be re
deemed, the senate relieved, and the country,given
repose.
The Sr/salmi—The Chair will rule that that is not
a privileged question. In the . very opening of the
preamble it makes a reflection upon the House, and it
is unparliamentary on the part of any member to re
flect upon the action of the House.
Air. Jonas—There Is no intention to reflect upon the
House.
The SPBAKER--It does, however, do so In express
language.
Mr. JONES— I understand the Speaker to rule that
anything in relation to impeachment was a privileged
question. The Speaker has ruled that, if lam not
mistaken.
The brEARIER—The Speaker has ruled with refer
ence to impeachment probably a hundred times, and
his rulings are all conaistent. They are to be found
in the CovgresAional Globe. The gentleman states
the rulings of the speaker more broadly than he has
ever stated them bimeelf.
Mr:'Joors—Does the Speaker rule that the resolu
tion is not a question of privilege f
The Brosnan—The Speaker rides that it is not a
queetion of privilege, on the ground that it isnot
parliamentary, not being respectful toward the
House.
Mr. MYERS. of Pennsylvania, introduced a joint
resolution appropriating $2,500 to defray the necee
eary expenses by Seth Green, in the artificial propa
gation of salad and other fish in the rivers of the
United States—the money to be expended under the
supervision of Francis E. Spinner, Treasurer of the
United States. Referred to the Committee on Ap
propriations .
Mr. Pavans asked to have a letter from Treasurer
Spinner on the subject read.
Mr. ELDRIDGE objected, saying there was already
too much shad to be had in Washington.
Mr. STEVENS, of Pennsylvania, Offered the follow
ing resolption, and moved the previous question : • •
ite it Resolved, That the Senate is:hereby requested
to direct that a certified copy of the proceedings of the
last two days on the trial of impeachment of the Pres
ide nt of the 'United States be sent to the house of
Representatives.
PrKE, of Maine--Have we not an official copy
of the prt.ceet, tugs in the Gio?is
Mr. STEVENS-4 believe not; I think not.
Mr. ELDRIDGE—Has not the House been tarnished
day by day with the ordinary report
Mr. STEvEks--I. do not know ; I have not had
thfm.
Mr. Er.Dnthoz—Does this relate to the secret ses
hlons of the Senate?
Mr. STSVENS—It relates to everything that took
place In the last two days of the session.
Bo ER made the point of order that it is not
competent for the House. by a resolution 4 this kind,
to compel the benate to furnish the House with its
prc needing&
The bI'EAKER sustained the point of order, but said
that the resolution was not mandatory.
Mr. ELDRIDGE asked Mr. Stevens to state whether
t here was not something in the matter which the reso
lution itself did not disclose.
Mr. STEVENS —I wish to get from the Senate the
vote as given by the different Senators on the eleventh
nriicle. I have no other object.
Mr. &amp - gilt, of Wisconsin—That is published in
the Gk. e, is It not?
Mr. STEVENS-4 do not know.
Mr. Buoons, of New York—lt is published in all the
pipers of the country.
Mr. STEVENS—There ie no official record. I have
no particular objection to modify the resolution in
such a manner as gentlemen may think proper. If
they think it can be made more respectful I will
!Ilex:lffy it In that way.
Mr. BIWOES—I do not think there is any objection
to the gentleman having what, he wants frqm the
Senate. Weal' on this side like What was done there.
[nsughter I
Mr. Emulation—lt seems to me entirely useless. I
cannot see any purpose on the face of this resolution,
as the proceedings are furnished in the Mobe.
Mr. STEVEB3—.I desire to have this official record
for the plain reason that it has never come to this
body in an efficial shape, and I desire it to come in
that shape. There will be undoubtedly some farther
proceedings had with reference to this impeachnient.
What those. proceedings will be I do not know. I
suppose that we shall be asked in some way or another
?o vote on the articles that are still before the Senate.
I know that there are questions of great importance
and of great ialue still before the Senate sitting as a
( 'mat of Impeach—
Here the remarks of Mr. Stevens were innerrupied
by a message from the Senate.
Mr. STEVENS resuming, said : I have no desire to
make a speech on the question which is now a bygone
queetion so far as the day is concerned; indeed, I do
not suppose that anybody believes that the question
which was passed upon on Saturday is to remain as a
defunct question. Ido not suppose that anybody be
lieves that this question is to be carried to the country
in its present condition, and hence it ie, I suppose,
everybody Ought to desire to see exactly how the mat
ter is. I yreenme that the vote which has been taken
at it will come before this body within a few days in
such a shape as shall develop arid unfold the great acts
that have transpired within the last week.
I make no accusations. I charge nobody with any
thing . But to me it seems amazing that a body of
hat kind, a body of the highest character, should give
t o itself and to others the character which it has given,
nd which it feels disposed to stamp upon the coun
try. This body of men, being . able to receive the
great view of the nation, and being able to see this
creat people looking down noon them as men never
bet ore gazed upon a despondent world, it is right that
II these acts should be laid before the country. I do
not suppose that that body of men has determined to
rescue the great criminal who is charged before them
by anything bat fair and legitimate means. We are
simply asking, therefore, that these matters shall be
brought before the nation, and that the people have
an opportunity of knowing what has taken place.
That there has been somewhere great, manifold,
deep damnation, no one can doubt. That there is
somewhere to be found this greatest of all mysteries,
no one can doubt. Let us, therefore, have the whole
matter in such a way that every man shall have an
opportunity to investigate and see who it is that Is
wrong, and who it is that is right. 1 ask the previous
tjueritien.
Mr. Ross--I ask the gentleman from Pennsylvania
'whether, in his opinion, Senators would be juitiled
:ft perjuring themselves for the purpose of procuring
n conviction of the President ?
Mr. STEvzsts--Well, sir ; Ido not think it would
hurt them.
Mr. PIKE--I wish to know if this resolution comes
irom the Board of Managers or from the gentleman
himself ?
Mr. STEVENS—It is my own individual action.
Mr. WOODWARD, of Pennsylvania--I ask my col
lea_gue to allow me five minutes on this question.
Mr.,VAN WYCR objected.
Mr. STEVENS—I have no objection to my colleague
baying five minutes.
Mr. VAN WYOK withdrew his objection
Mr. Woonwenn 7 -Mr. Speaker, I do not see any ob
jection to thoesolution of my colleague, and 1 would
have voted for it before I beard his remarks, but after
hearing them, it is impossible for me to do so. I take •
this opportunity to state that in my judgment this
whole thing is in the highest degree indelicate and
improper.
Here several members complained that the remarks
of the gentleman from Pennsylvania could not be
heard.
The Srsekrai stated that was partly owing to the
fact that so many members were standing, and re
quested members to take their seats.
Mr. WOODWARD resuming, said--Mr. Speaker,
Whatever may be the technical difficulties about con
sidering the Senate as a court in the matter of im
peachment, there can be no doubt in the mind of my
colleague, or of anylother man,that those Senators are
sitting under tho obligation of a judicial oath, and
that for all practical purposes they are sitting as
judges in a case which is peculiarly judicial. They
nave heard the evidence; they have heard the argu
ments of counsel; they have decided one count in
the indictment, and now, while they are deliberating
on the remaining articles of impeachment, I say it is
in'the highest degree indelicate—l mean no personal
offense when I add indecent, for the prosecution to
come with a resolution calculated to influence the
judgment of that Court.
Where in this broad land has!the like ever been
witnessed before, that a p a rty may institute a prose
cution and go before a judge and present his case, and
while that judge is deliberating upon the case set in
operation a series of influences intended to hear upon
the judgment o' the court in that case ? When has the
like ever been :_een before ? Where has the honorable
gentleman ever seen anything of the kind • before ?
His professional life has been spent in Pennsylvania,
and where did he ever bear of a party approaching a
court or a judge after the case bad tieen committed,
and by threats or promises, or in any other way, at
tempting to influence ilia judgment of the court?
With ail his experience, e never heard of anything of
the kind. And now, I ask in all seriousness, is this
Howe prepared to put itself before the world the
light of a party who, having submitted his case to the
constitutional tribunal, is worrying that court, ie an
noying it, is threatening it with uncomfortable conse
quences unless it decides the case in its favor. Are
we prepared to put ourselves in that position? There
is not a man of us who, if he were to put himself in
that position before a court of justice, would not be
committed to jail for contempt of court.
Mr. STErtais--Will my colleague allow me to nay
PROPAGATION Or MAD
IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDING 9
that Ido not propose tongs the materials that we
shall get In any way injurious to the Court bow in
SetWOD.
Mr. WOODWAND--I have said that to the gentle
man's :resolution itself I have no objection, but to
the genth maa'e speech, in which he expounded that
resolution, lam making this objection. If I under ,
stand the gentlemartilm wants this information for
the purpose of exposing the Senators to the world, of
bolding them to tneir responsibility. I Cannot rocoi
!cot all his language, but his language implies that
there Is tome sort of discipline to be used on those
Senators, founded on the information which this reser
lotion calls for. Now, against that sentiment.
whether coming from the gentleman or coming from
correspondence with Senators, or coming from con •
venation with Senators, or coming, I taro not how,
against all that meddling with the tribunal While it is
deliberating on this high and important cause, I enter
my most solemn protest, as a thing indelicate in the
higliesi degree, and indecent.
Mr. Lalico--The gentleman speaks of the Senate as
a constitutional tribunal. I wish to ask him, if he
now considers the Senate a constitutional tribunal.
I think no questioned that once in this House.
Mr. Woo - myelin—lf the House will give me live
minutes more, I will answer that question.
Mr. SOHENCE, of Ohio, asked Mr. Stevens to
yield to him.
Mr. STEVENS consented on condition that Mr.
Schenck at the close of his remarks, would move the
previous question.
Mr. ticnarica--Mr. Speaker I should like to have
that resolution read which has been pronounced by
the gentleman from Pennsylvania to be indecent.
Mr. WOODWARD—Tim gentleman must not put
words in my month which I did not use. So far from
pronouncing the resolution indecent, I said expressly
that I would have voted for ft.
Mr. Banning—l heard the word "indecent."
Mr. Woonwenn—That was applied to the speech
made in support of the resolution; not to the resolu
tion Itself.
The Session—The Chair did not understand the
gentleman (Woodward) to apply the word "indecent"
to the remarks of his colleague. It he had, he should
have ruled that it was not parliamentary. The Chair
understood it to be implied to some supposed action.
Mr. Woonwann--The Chair is entirely right. I
did not intend anything unparliamentary or uncivil to
my colleague. I meant to characterize the use that
was to be made ot the information and all that effort
as indecent.
Mr; Scare - mit—lf the gentleman says he did not
charge that the proceeding of his colleague was in
decent,. then I am mistaken, and I will not assume that
he did. I heard the words distinctly twice, either as
applied to the remarks of the gentleman from Penn
sylvania (Mr. Stevens) or to the proceedings which
the gentleman from Pennsylvania sought to Institute.
In either case it comes with a very bad grace from any
man who should not be on the door, unless sustained
here by a degree of assurance which I could hardly
Imagine possible to exist in the case of a man who has
denounmil this as no Congress, a fragmentary body, a
usurping body,
Mr. Woonwanns—l beg leave to call the gentleman
to order.
Mr. '43mizstex--I may not use the exact words
of the gentleman, but I will give his meaning,
so that it May be seen whether I have overstated it.
Mr. WOODWARD—The gentleman uses not only not
my exact language, but nothing like the language.
Mr. Seim:mu—l have it here under my hand.
Mr. Woonwann—What the gentleman alludes to
was an argument made by me on the door of the
House, as fully as the rules of the House would allow
me. that neither the 'louse nor the Senate were
Mr. Scueseu, interrupting--I am going to read the
gentleman's language. Ido not want his gloss of it
now. I had made my diepoeition to do this because
I had prepared a resolution of expulsion on .that lan •
enage, and was only prevented from offering it by
the expectation which I was induced to entertain,that
another gentleman who hart taken a share in the de
bate, would himself proceed against him.
On the 24th of February last, when this subject of
impeachment was under discussion, the gentleman
from Pennsylvania said: "I conclude that all the legis.
lation which we have done does not constitute us a
court to originate and try impeachment which the
Constitution contemplates. Mr. Speaker. so sure lam
that the American people will respect this objection,
that I will say, if I were the President's counsellor,
which J am not, I would advise him, if you prefer ar
tichui of impeachment, to demur both is your jurisdic
tion and that of the Senate, and to Issue a proclama
-1 ion, giving you and all me world notice that while he
holds himself impeachable for misdemeanors in °lnce
before a constitutional tribunal, he never would sub
ject the chine he holds in trust from the people, to the
irregular, unemmtitus tonal, - fragmentary bodies
which propose to strip him of it. Such
a proclamation, with the army and navy on hand to
sustain it. would meet with a popular response which
would make an end of impeachment and impeachers."
That man, professing to be himself a member of the
American Congress, and drawing pay as - such--stands
here and denounces ruproceeding.under the Constita-,
Lion. by this Manse, to impeach, and by the Senate to
try that impeachment, as a proceeding not legally to
he entered upon by either, because, he says of both,
they are fragmentary bodies, and he declares that tie,
if he were the adviser of the President, would disperse
them by force. Timt is virtually what this threat
means.
_ .
1 do notwish any gentleman here or outside of this
hall, to attack my representation of his language as
being a proper or improper interpretation of that lan
guage. and therefore I read what he says, and from
the official reportof the proceedings of this Congress.
laver that he dares to stand here in his place and de
nounce this as no Rouse of Representatives entitled
to find articles of impeachment and present them;
snd the Senate as no body entitled, under the law, to
try the impeachment, and that he went further, and
gave notice, in the shape of a threat. that if he were
President ho would step in and disperse these two
fragmentary bodies, and thus put an end to the im
peachment and the Impeachers alike. Sir. I repeat
is hat I say, 1 had prepared a resolution to expel that
member from this floor, as unworthy of a seat in the
body of which he thus speaks, and I was only pre
vented from offering it—
Mr. Maximal.", (interrupting)—l rise to a question
of order. The gentleman from Ohio is not 'discuss
ing the question before the House.
Mr. t crewicx—ls ho riot?
Mr. Mansasta.—l shall insist that the debate
be confined to the resolution, unless the gentleman
torn Pennsylvania (Mr. Woodward) shall have an op
portunity to reply to this attack upon him, which is
Lot hing but a personal attack.
The SPB.SEEII directed the resolution to be read,
end remarked that that was the subject before the
House. and that the debate must be confined to it.
Mr. Peaznexa-I hold that what I have been saying
is entirely pertinent to these proceedings, and if the
gentleman (Mr. Woodward) should follow out the po
eition he has taken, and declare that we, being no
House of Representatives, have no right to make that
!cutest of the Senate, and that the Senate, being no
legal body, can have kept no records of its proceed
ings while acting either in a legislative or any other
capacity, it would be consistent with what he has
stated before.
- -
But he puts his opposition to the resolution on en
tirely different grounds, and shrinking, perhaps, al
though I do not know whether he does or not, from
the bold assertion with which he advanced revolu
tionary doctrines like that before, he now professes
to content himself by speaking despairingly either of
t he resoition, or what it proposee.tc. do, or of the re
marks with which that resolution is soaght to be ens
d; and I say, and therefore I am pertinent in this
debate, that it comes with ill grace from the gentle.
man from Pennsylvania to oppose that resolution on
any such underground as that, while he has heretofore
token that high, audacious position which he stands
on the record as having maintained heretofore in the
debate on this subject of impeachment; that we have
DO power to inquire into these matters' : that there is
r o senate to which to take the inquiry, and that the
senate and House of Representatives alike ought. if
the President were advised as he feels capable of ad
vising, to have dispersed us all.
The SPEARUR- The Chair thinks that this is be
yond the scope of the resolution. The former speech
of the gentleman from Pennsylvania Is not now under
review before the House. It should have been
objected to at the time it was made.
Mr. Rimx.ar, of Pennsylvania—The remarks were'
never made in the House. They were printed, not
having been uttered.
Mr. Seesaws—Yes. I remember that as one of the
circtunstancez.
The Srzeuxe--If there is no objection, the gentle.
man from Ohio will proceed in his line of remarks,
but if the objection be insisted on, the Chair thinks it
is beyond the parliamentary line of debate.
Mr. 13CMENCS.--Then it is not competent to show
inconsistency between the position heretofore taken
by the gentleman and that which he now assumes?
The SPEAKER—The Chair thinks not, on the retie.
lotion before the House, which has but a single object
on its lace.
Mr. Sonkylex—Very well, then I shall have to return
the floor, with my thanks,to the gentleman from Penn
sylvania (Mr. Stevens).
Atter various propositiois and suggestions, all of
which wore objected to by some member,
Mr. Wassznaak, of Illinois, suggested that the
Rouse should resolve itself into Committee of the
yv bozo on the State of the Union, and take up the
Indian appropriation bill, on which the discussion
could be continued by Messrs. Schenck and Wood
ward.
That proposition having mot the wishes of the
House, the resolution offered by Mr. Stevens was
agreed to.
Air. MAYNARD moved that when the House ad
journ to- day it adjourns to meet on Thursday next.
Rejected.
A message was read from the Senate at four o'clock
announcing that the Senate had agreed to the con
current resolution for a recess, to take effect from to
day.
The BrzexEn stated that the question would be on
agreeing to the amendment of the Senate striking out
Saturdayy last and inserting to-day.
liir. ABILLEY, of Ohio, moved that the House ad
journ.
The vote on that motion was being taken, ten Mr.
BUTLIIU moved across the hail towards his at, say
ing in a hurried and anxious manner, "With aw that
motion; don't adjotim"
Mr. ASHLEY thereupon withdrew the motion.
hir. BUTLER informed the Chair that he had a
privileged motion to 'submit.
The SPEAKER stated that - there was how a priv
ileged motion before the House on ceneurring'in
the amendment of the. Senate to a resolution for a
'recess
Mr. Bum= said he - desired to state the reasons why
the House should not concur. He remarked that in
the investigation with Which the women Were
charged, it might become necessary, and that it was
now percent) , to have the action of the Bowe in
compelling the attendance of witnesses.
Mr. Ammo's moved that Ihe concurrent reao -
lutiou be laid orr the table. The motion was agreed
to without a division, and the Senate was notified of
the fact.
Mr. Burt= then' ffered a resolution reciting that
Charles Wooley, of Cincinnati, bad been ettbairnaed
to appear before the managers, and bad, in contempt
of tee powers of the House, left the city; and direct
ing that a warrf nt be Issued. commanding the tier
weant-at- Arms to arrest and bring him to the bar of
the House to answer for contempt of ha authority.
The reading of the subpumna and its endorsement
showed that it was not signA by the Speaker and at
tested by the Clerk of the House, but was signed by
Mr. Bingham, chairman, and attested by the clerk of
the managers. Also. that it was served on the witness
at W llare's lintel at tour o'clock yesterday (Sunday.)
Mr, ifia.stati made a rsdnt of order, on the fact that
the subpirna was not signed by the Sneaker,
The brzatekn sustained the point of order, and
read Iron. the Digest to show that all subumnaa issued
by order of the House, shall be under the hanl and
seal of the Speaker, attested by the Clerk,
He added that the House could take what action it
chose upon It. It was for the Sense to construe its
own roles, but in the opinion of the Speaker all sub
pumas., to be legal. so that a person could be brought to
the bar of the House under them, had, by the uniform
usage of the Bouse and its whole history, to be signed
by the Speaker and attested by the Clerk. The sub
puma in this case appeared to be signed by the Chair
man merely, and attested by the clerk of the mana
gers. It was for the House, however to determine
whether that differed from the authority to previous
committees to send for persons and papers.
Mr. ELI:18180R 81410 called attention to the fact that
it appeared that the subpwna was void upon its face
from the fact that it was served on Sunday.
Mr. BROOKEI added, yea—showing that the managers
were in session on Sunday.
The EirraxEn said that that was a question for the
House to determine.
Mr. Covens remarked that he had conducted what
was known as the Covello investigation, and he had
always signed the subpcenaa. The membets of Mr.
Buchanan's Cabinet, , including Attorney-Cseneral
Black, had appeared before his committee without
making any objection to the foray of the subpowna.
The Srketten remarked that that point had never
been made before, and that if it had he doubted not
that his predecessors would have ruled in the same
way as he was now compelled to rule.
Roinstamt asked Mr. Butler to yield the floor to
him for a moment.
Mr. BUTLER declined to do so, saying that he had
not had any chance to say a word himself. He re
marked that the witness (Air. Woolley) refused to
come before the managers, for the reason that the
House had no power to have a summons served on
Sunday; that he had grown suddenly religions, and
had, therefore, told the Sergeant-at-Arms that ho
would wait until this morning, If the House wanted
anything of him, but that instead of doing so, he had
left in the traitelor New York last night.
Mr. STEWART—T. am informed that Mr. Wooley is
now at Willard's Hotel, and has been there all day.
Mr. Ronusson--And Wooley knows nothing about
whatyou are after. [Laughter].
Mr. Bumen—How does thogentlemait from Brook
lyn know that ?
Mr. liontssox--When I am suppwnaed I will
Mr. STEWART addressed a remark to Mr. Butler.
Mr. BUTLEnt suggested that pe had not alluded to
him, but to the gentleman from Brooklyn, with the
curly bead. LLauvhter].
The •SPEAKER interposed, and said that that re
mark was not respectful.
Mr. RORTNEON said something about the absence . of
hair from Mr. Butler's head having attracted his at
tention to his I Mr. Robinson's) curls.
The I:Wanks:it thought that neither of these re
marks 'were proper.
Mr. ROIRNBON declared himself ready to answer the
gentleman from Massachusetts either here or at the
Lowell depot.
Mr. STEWART repeated his statement as to Wooley's
being at Willard's all day, and said be had no inten
tion of disobeying the subpmna.
Mr. BUTLER asserted that Wooley bad left in the
train for New York last night.
Mr. ST - EIVART explained that ho had only gone to
Baltimore, and had returned this morning.
Mr. STEVENS suggested to Mr. Butler that this was
but mere twaddle, and that he had better call the pre
vious question.
Ilumnr, said that on the assurance of Mr.
Stewart, he would withdraw the resolution, and
would take means to ascertain whether Mr. Wooley
proposed to obey the order of the lions° or not. The
resolution was accordingly withdrawn... .
Mr. FAI.NBWOBTII, remarking that the objection to
a recess having thus been removed, moved to suspend
the rules, so as to take up again the concurrent
resolution for a recess.
The House refused to suspend the rules, and then
at a quarter ,before five adjourned. •
