HAuxussmo, Feb. X 3,1870.
The. Senate Finance. Committee mel
this evening.
Mr. Mclntyre wanted to know dis
tinctly if Gen. Irwin bad refased to ap
pear.
Chairman Billinidelt read a dispatch ,
from him, dated New Brighten, Februe
ry 22d, re follows: .•Vnavoidably de•
layed. Will be there Thursday morn-I
ing."
Mr. Mclntyre did not believe in further
examining Mr. Mackey, if Gen. Irwin
could not be heard.
Mr. Stackey was present and said he
was ready to testify again.
Mr. Billingfelt required that he should
* do that which he had thus far felled to
do, that was, present a detailed state
ment of what the vault account acaudated.
Mr. White had not 'amitiretood Mr.
Mackey as refusing to do so, but that he
could not answer except from medlea
don of the gross amount. ; '
Mr. Nicholson, cashier for Mr. Mackey,
begged leave to- make aetatement. He
had been cashier of the treasury for eight
years and he knew more about this mat
ter than perhaps any other _MIA to the
Commonwealth. He wanted to correct
• erroneous impressions as to the vault
account. A great deal was said about it
which was not understood. Really no
vault account had been kept during
Gen. Irwin's year. . _
tt
.•
Some discussion then took place as to
the propriety of putting Mr, Nicholson
on the Mend, but the proposition failed.
Mr. Billie glen proposed subpcening the
bank officers with!whom public monies
were deposited. •
Mr;Mackey said be could give and had
given a great deal more in the way of
book. accounts than his predecessor
could or would. •
Finally it was agreed to meet to-mor
row evening to hear General Irwin, when
Mr. Billiegfelt will demand a detailed
stateinenvirom Mr. Mackey aa to what

Mr. WILSON presented the areden.

melting any evidence of the election of
the person referred to?
The CHAIR said if any objection was
made to toe administration of the oath
to Revels, the question whether the oath
should be administered would be sub
mitted to toe Senate.
Mr. SAULSBURY said before the
question of administering the oath came
up, other questions might have to be set
tled. At this particular stage be submit
ted that the certificate of a military offi
cer, that this man had been elected to the .
Senate of the United States, was not such

M r . STEWART remarked that' ' the
certificates of the election of various
Senators from the reconstracted States
had' been signed by the Provesional Goy.

Dir. SAULSBURY proceede d to argue
that admission to the Senate could only
De claimed upon a valid election by a
re w a rm s
evidence the present case
there was 50 emanating flora
the Legislature that they had elected
any one, but simply a certificate from en
individual, styling himself military
officer and Provisional Governor, that
the Legislature had done certain acts.
He denied that any Provisional Gov
moor could send a communicatiou to
this body, for inch an officer was nn
known to the N
Constitut
t en.
copy Mr . WILSO had a certified
copy of the proceedings in the election of
Senators of the United States by the
Miesinippi Legislature.
Mr. DRAILE remarked the objection
wee without force. as the act of Congress
required the Governor of the State to

did' eat say the evidence should rogue

-1 Mon galore the Berate from the Governor

might be called, furolahed the very evi
dence required by the Constitution. The
great seat of the State to the paper was
sufficient for the Senate, for the right of
a Governor to use that seal could not be
inquired into; but i th e n e present case it
must be accepted as a fct. 1
Mr. SAULSBURY referred to a news
paper announcement of the election of a
Deleon named Alcorn as Governor of
Misaissippi; therefore, taking the ground
of Senator prate, this paper., did not
show the signature of the real Governor
of Mississippi.
Mr. DRAKE replied, in the absence of
official Information. that_the newly
elected Governor had notesn installed
into o ffi ce, the Senator
(Bartishur.2).
could not insist that the office of GSM
nor had changed hands.
Mr. TRIJNIBULL said under . the law
the Governor - was, required to iris/eine
certificate of electien. Strictly speaking
the present certilicate was defective in
not giving the facts of the election in de- I
tail, but- 'presume had occurred in the '
Senate in which membets' had been i l
sworn in without presenting any cattail
state. The silmission of Senator Davis
was an instance of this kind. He then
called for the ding of the papernante
miffed by Mr. rea
Wilson.
The papers referred to detailed the
meeting of the Joint Convention of the
Legislature, at which out of one hundred

eighty-one. • , , ' .

at which hour the question of the expub '

and the galleries and corridors crowded
that all the testimony should be before

Mr. BUTLER (Maas.) remarked. be
should not vote on the. question before
the House; as he had undertaken to give
advice to Mr. Whittemore and had so far
his feelings enlieted in his case. He had
=d and be asked leave to present
half an affidavit, because he did
not think he should be called upon to
speak for himself here, it being • proverb
of the legal profession that "he whole his
own counsel has an ass for a client."
Mr. LOGAN declined to yield to hive
the affidavit read.
Mr. BUTLER--I am here now as the
counsel of this party, showing cause why
this judgment of expulsion should not
pass against him, and nobody but the
House can control me- I am asking le

of nobody but God. [Excitement i

read to the House. lie declared init
that he is advised and believes .he can.
not wifely proceed 'to ihow caters why
the resolution of the Committee on Mill,
teary Affain should not be passed, unless
time be granted to examine witnesses
and produce witnesses in his own Whale
in explanation of matters al tested against
him. He deelares he had never had an
opportunity to examine or cross examine
witnesses, and that when he was called
before the committee and asked 'for an
explanation,. all the testimony in the
hands of the committee was "not read to
him and therefore his statement was not
full Ind complete to all matters now al
leged against him. .He says certain
witnesses, Whose testimony has been re
ported by the committee, were ex.
*mined after , his statement had
teen made, and whose testimony
he had no means of meeting or
explaining. He states also his informa
tion and belief that other witnesses ban
be called woo are named in the reported
testimony. and who are important to his
defense. He also says that he is informed
and believes this prosecution is pp:seen;
td and carried on for the pupae"
. of
levying blackmail upon him and.obtain
ing large sums of money from him, and
that witnesses have been procured and
have testified, and are now testifying
against him, because they were dis
appointed. in that purpose. He
further. declares, If time be given him,
he shall be able to show, what he de
clares to be truth, that he never had
received or used a dollar of money- . for
his appointments to the military or naval
academies for his own private purposes,
for any purposes of mein or emolument,
but that all that had bean paid to him by
any person had been expended and mach
more for the relief and isnefit of tbepeo
-ple of his district, anti that he Isnot guilty
of or justly chargeable with any unlawful
or wicked act in anything tie had done
In regard to nomiastions. He therefore
respectfully asks the Roulette* as much
time be given him as may be necessary,
and as the House may deem reasonable,
for the purpose of enabling him to pre
, pare his defense, and that his case be
postponed until the final report of the
Committee on the whole matter referred

WHITTEMORE, woo occupied him

Butler and allowed Mr. Poland to offer
' a resolution that the further considera

the Committee_ Abell snake a final report
under the resolution of February 4th,
and that the Committee be directed to
summon and examine W. F. Shaw, of
Boston, and M. D. Lunion, of New York,

Ported to the House.
Mr. BUTLER, Massachusetts, =dean
argument for the postponement, quoting
the sixth article of the Constitution,
I which guarantees the right of the ac
awed to be confronted with the Witnesses
against him and have the assistance of
counsel. In the course of nis remarks
I be alluded to the witness Brooks as •
newspaper man, and so were Cathcart
and Landon.
A member asked what a newspaper
man meant ?
Mr. BUTLER—It means a man who
bangs about this city and writes lies
Mime to his newspaper. [Laughter.]
Almoste very man hivolvedin that illicit,
abominable traffic is a newspaper man,
and we are to be frightened out of our

saying that ..nobody would vote for
Whittemore except those who bad

which they dare not have ventilated in
the House.". I em' more Inclined -to
think nobody - would vote against hint
for that season. know members of
the House, and I know that they have
more independence than that. I will do
my duty here before God and man, inde
pendent of newspapere. for if there
*may one thing on earth I am superior to,
tt is newspapers. [Very gentleal laugh.
ter.] I want to know the extent of this
• torn of disposing of cadetship ap
pointments.. If It should turn out it has
grown up to be a custom, end that it is
commonly done, I shall want to silk the
House whether the - penalties for that
vicious, improper and illegal custom.
which heit grown up for years, are to be
visited upon the heads of those Repro.
tentative' who have offended this man
Brooks in the le o degree.
In conclusion, Mr. Butler read from
the affidavit of her. Whittemore that the
henmoey had es used fur the benefit of
poor of hi s Matelot, and be appealed
to the House to pause and consider, to
judgment the case • coolly and with
and stall events to be careful
that the accused had every constitutional
right.
Mr. WARD bffered an amendment to
Mr. Poland's resolution, providing that
the final disposition of the case shall not
be eastponed fur • longer period than
twenty days.'
Mr. LOGAN argued against the adop.
tion of Mr. Poland's resolution. The
_gentleman from hfassachnsetta (Mr.
Butler) had said the other day that he
desired quick action, in , order: tharthe
rebound of the 'newspapers might not
have' its influence on members. But
now he wanted unlimited time. He de.
sired the Houle to deal With Mr: Whitte

ed. It would be imabagous to his asking,
if a t were dandle* • marelor murder.
that ecerybody else should be tried for

Mr. BETLERf • number of men
were in a conspiracy, and the casesof all
of them were preSauted before the grand

indicted before the trial of one of them
went on.
Dir. LOGAN replied there was no afar
thing as partnership in mime, and there
was no law saying a manatiould not be
tried because he had written In his

king, deceased, appeared and took the
more had been read, because be mus t
state in contradiction of It
Mr. BUTLER' made the paint °Ander
"that he had confined hituself on the mo
tion for P os tponement to papers that
were on record, and the chairman of the
Committee should be so *Unlined, entt
should not state teak not nvon mend.
The SPEAKER sustained the point of
order. •
Mr. LOGAN said he would confine
himself to the meted. - He would go no
farther than the affidavit of the accused,
which bad_ been read front the Clerk's
desk, mind which he presumed had been
drawn up by the gentleman from Moms.
chuseits. In the of Mr..Whittemore
examine witnesses!. That statementera" was
not correct. Jlir. ;Whittemore bad been
asked by himself do mositexamine Reg
ler, and he said be would have nothing
to do with such a scoundrel. Mr. Whit
temore had not been dragged before the
Committee, but had (tome before It Tol
-1 notedly and had modeles statement.
Mr. BUTLER again Insisted on the
enforcenient of the rule., so that no SLOW
meat of ficts should be Made
from the record.
Mr, LOGAN replie4-if the I eirned
lawyer from PAYSOODUOStIO, and attorney
for the amused, was so afraid the truth
should DO told, he would withhold it for
the present to am:mutt:date that gentle
man.' What - did Mr. Whittemore him
self state in his affidavit? Not that he
hart not received money, but that he had
not need it for any private purpose.
The committee had not said be bad used
money for private purpwes. but that
he was influenced in the disposition
of his cadet appointments by pecuniary
consideration. What difference did It
mako what he did with the money he
had received? If there were an Impor
tant bill before the House, and if a mew
her were approached and asked to vote
for It for a consideration of lilo,ooo,
would it beisny lees a case, of bribery
and oorruption if be would say he would
apply the money for the retie/ of the
poor of his district? He supposed the
gentleman from Massachusetts would
say that was not bribery; the money was
usedcharitable purposes; the mem
ber had no bad intention and had done
nothing wrong; but that he merely sold
his vote. That was to may, scads perqui.
site belonging to his constituents. The
affidavit of tdttemore himself
showed that b eo ug htunot to have further
Lime.
Mr. BUTLER explained he only meant
to say the fact of the money being used
for a charitable purpose would make a
great difference In the degree of punish
ment.
Mr. LOGAN was reminded of an &nee.
dote of • godless fellow who, being In
church when a:collection was made for
the heathen, put his hand in the poor box
and took out all the money he could lay
hold of. and when asked why he did this,
replied he wee the greatest heathen in
that part of the country. [Laughter.]
It the excuse would be admitted,
they would Sod members of Con
gress building churches in their districts,
then selling their votes in the House in
aid of pious projects. LLaughterl The
gentleman from Malsachusetts had epos
len•;about newspapers howling about
about i t,
Certainty they did howl
about it, and be did not blame them for
doing so. If members of the House ware
willing to sell themselves like sheep In
the shambles, he did not blame news
papers for howling about It, sod if the de
cision of coke were to be postponed, tDB
people would have the right to suspect
ailed them. If the House expected its
committee to do duty in investigating
frauds, the House itself would have to
do its duty in punishing those frauds.
tf they reported otherwise the House
would, by saying to its committee "we
Instructed you to do this, hut we did not
expect you would do it. We told you to
investigate this thing and report if you
found men guilty, bat did not expect
you would do It." If the House did not
perform its duty In this matter, It would
have to send Its resolutions of inquiry in
future to some other committee than the

found open, and the box containing the
boner and dust which constituted all
that was left of - the body of Payne, was
rained and given in charge of the under.
