tor Pngh has presented to the Senate
the' minority report .of the judiciary
oommittee; on questions arising from the
refusal of -the attorney-general to fur
nish the papers in the Duskin .case.
8enator EdmuiidB will seek to open the
debate on this subject as soon as possi
ble. ' The educationbill .stands on the
calendar as unfinished business, a posi
tion it has joocucied since the 9th inst. J
Mr, Edmunds has not intimated a pur
pose to have it get aside. The friends
of the education bill hope it may be dis
posed of within two or three days and
Air. tBlairiwUl resist all attempts to
hare it laid aside for amy purpose. The
debate on ;the issues between : the ma
jority in the Senate, and the executive,
to which the minority report gives rise,
is expected to last several days and may
cover two or three weeks 1 $i ,

bankruptcy bill, the bill for; the admis
sionof Washington Territory, the inter-State-commerce
bill and the electoral
Count bill': are anxiously watching an
opportunity: to get those measures be

pect of. success until the above men

.however, xftuch legislative business of a

Washington j j March 1. Mr. Pughs
minority report says that when Presi
dent Cleveland; came into office he found
about 05 per cent, of the offices filled
by republicans; appointed as a reward
for party services. The party to whom
the President jowed? hi -nomination and
election had been exiled from all partici
pation in the civil administration of the
government fair nearly a quarter of a
century. The friends and supporters of
the President made application for a 're
distribution of I the public trusts. No
other President, had ever been: subjected
to such a severe trial or had to meet M
many grave difficulties, and no other
had such an abundant supply of valid
reasons and causes ; urging him to the
free exercise of his power of removal
from federal office, and no other ever re
sisted witb more fairness the just claims
of his supporters, or used his power of
removal more conscientiously, cautiously
and sparingly, j Notwithstanding these
facts, 650 nominations sent to the Senate
in suspension esses had been allowed to
remain beforei the committees without
consideration and final disposition. Dus
tin has made no complaint to the judi
cisiy committor, the President or attorney-general,
4hat he has been wronged
by his suspension, .lhe committee was
fully informed that Burnett was recom
mended to the President by all the mem
bers of CongTess from Alabama on per
sonal knowledge of his ' high character.
Stripped to the naked truth, .without
any-special pleading,! the case is made
for the senate on their- resolution, and
the answer of ; the attorney -general is
whether the Senate has aright to demand
of the attorney-general the transu ission,
against the order of the President, of
the Only paper Or doonment of the de
scription mentioned ins the resolution,
when that paper or document is stated
in the refusal ; to relate exclusively tcr I
the removal Of iUuskin by the rresident,
and for that reason alone is not trans
mitted. The President holds that it is
not ' a public document and there can
be no doubt about the correctness of his
decision and that it must be aocepted as
conclusive. It is an undeniable truth
that every right, power, privilege and
prerogative created by law or granted
in the constitution has some reason, use,
necessity or foundation for its existence
and support: A majority of the judi-
ciary committee; affirm the right bf the Statutes and heartily favors Jits faithful
Senate to direct the attorney-general or execution,- but their information and be

paper or document relates exclusively to
removals or suspension, nas any lounaa-
tion or recogniuuu iu uj wiuuisuun or

any and every public document or record
on file in any department or in posses-
sion of the President, relating to any
subject whatever ! over which i either
house of Congress an any power; juris-
diction or control, under the oonstitu-
tion, is subject to the can or inspection of I ject and intent f this extraordinary pro
either house' for use in its constitutional ceedinjr is to secure politicsl and parti-
powers and its jurisdiction, but if all
the power granted m the constitution
over the subject-matter is rested in the
President-exclusivelf, the only rightful
custodian of all such papers is the chief
executive officer. Why was the possession
or inspection of pkpers relating to .the
makinjr and ratifying of treaties refused
to : the House of Representatives by
President Washington ! For the plain
reason that the House of Representatives
had no power over treaty-making. It
would be unreasonable to conclude that
the frameri of the ; constitution had de
clared to divide the power of removing
Federal officers between the President
and the Senate, and after vesting it in
the President slone had given: to the
Senate, by implication or as a necessary
incident of another power, the right of
advising and. consenting to removals. If
the reasoning of tbe majority is sound
it would compel the secretary of
state to ' transmit to. the House
of Representatives on its order all
natters and: documents relating to the
making and ratifying of all trea-ties in
the state department. Without the cir

to transmit to the' Senate in. executive
session documents relating exclusively
or materially to removals of federal
officers by the President during the re
cess or sessions of the Senate, and such
directions were obeyed by any head of a

forced to meet and answer the question
'where does the power of making remov
als from federal offices reside ? Does the
constitution snswer the question? The
report here quotes the provisions of the
constitution relating to executive power
and treaty-making powers and those re
lating to the making of appointments.'
It say s the question of the meaning of
the quotations came up for consideration
and settlement! by Congress, in May,
1789. There were many frameri of the
constitution in 5 that Congress and none
of . them had more to do with that great
work than Madison. The minority of
the committee are satisfied that they are
unable to produce anything themselves
or from others that can add to what was
said in that famous debate. The decis
ion waa . made at a time when ' no po
litical parties had been organised to
influence judgment and Control opin
ion. No settlement of any .contro
verted question ever had had ; higher
sanction or more to commend it to un
questioned acquiescence. Said Uadiso
"However various the opinions which
exist on the point now before us, it
seems to. be agreed on all sides that it
demands careful investigation and full
discussion. I feel the importance of the
question and know that our decision will
involve the decision of all similar cases,
a decision that will become a' permanent
exposition of the constitution, and on
this permanent exposition of ; the consti
tution will depiend the genius and char
acter of the whole government. ' The re
port cites at great length from the speeches
of Madison, Sedge wick and 'Clymer,
in the debate of 1789. from the decisions
of the supreme! court acd from other
high authorities, in support of itheir po
sition and concludes as follows: "Tho
minority of your committee cannot close
their report without expressing surprise
at the appearance in the majority report
of the following resolution (Here ii

your committee serves one purpose and
that is to- furnish additional proof of
what.was before manifested; that the ob-
san advantage; and Deneat. j.ne in

He did make a: promise that during the
term' of a omi officer be would not sus
pend or remove him for the sole reason
that he was a Kepublican. Merely being
a Republican, jsf he had been and was a
capable, faithful and efficient officer, the
President declared he would not regard:
as a sufficient; cause. But' if such an
officer, while in office, had used its power
or influence, or emoluments, to promote
the organization and success of hia party
by attending county, district. State, or

active as a partisan in elections, the f resi
dent has declared such conduct and a-tion

spirit of the j law declaring that, civil

to sell his property. If it is unin
cumbered and in good working order
he is given certificates to the amount of
three times the value of his mill. For less

Washington, March 1 ifixNATs. -The
chair laid before the Senate a letter from
the secretary of the treasury, transmit
ting in reply; to the recent Senate reso
lution, a report showing the claims, ac
counts and vouchers suspended in that
department. : in discussing the motion
to print the papers, Mr. ! Hale said the
accounting officers of the treasury had
lately taken what seemed to him the extra
ordinary course of "holding up" or sue- J
pending accounts or vouchers of officers
of the government, w b 0 . according to I
custom and usual authorization, had paid 1
. v t 1 . . I
out moneys wnicn aa peen entrusted l
to them for the purpose of being so paid
out.- The contention of accounting offi
cers of the treasury, Mr. Hale said, was
that the papers were unauthorized. The
papers, which are voluminous, were or
dered printed. j
Among the bills introduced was one
by Mr. Blair, at the request, he said.
of the legislative committee of the fed
eration of trades and labor, to legalize I
mo uuuiuuiauuu ui uatiuuai uaucB- I
unions. It was referred to the commit- I
tee on education and labor P i
At 1.20 Mr. Hale moved that the
Senate proceed to the consideration of I
executive business. Thie' motion was!
agreed to and the Senate accordingly I
went into executive session. At' 2.40
p. m. the Senate doors Were reopened
and the chair laid before .the Senate a
lengthy message from the President, I
bearing on the right of the Senate or
Senators to have access tbf papers, etc.,
in the executive department relating to
suspensions from: office, j The President I
u 1 rn uie giuuuu: uiaa; jiaii iciaung w
suspensions from office are not official
papers, and consequently j he does not
feel justified in sending icopies of them
to the Senate. It is
a vigorous docu-
ment and a long one.
The message was read at length. The
extraordinary stillness prevailing on the
floor of the Senate and the 1 emphatic
loudness and clearness jof chief I clerk
Johnson's reading served! to satisfy the
galleries that something ! unusual ?; was
afoot, and before the ; reading was com
pleted the galleries were crowded.
The following were tne proceedings
after the completion of the reading : -
Mr. Harris Mr. rresment, 4. ! move
that the message be printed and lie en
the table. '
Mr. Edmunds On ' thatf I ask for the
yess and nsys. j I do not propose that it
shall bejaid on the table just now, if I
can help it. I ., .)
Mr, Harris I will move that the
message be printed, if the Senate will:
allow me to amend my motion. - ' ? i ;
Mr. Edmunds Very fwell. -tm that
motion I should like to say a word.
The Chair The senator from: Ten
nessee (Harris) moves that the. message
be printed. ) ,J
Mr. Edmunds I add to that that it
I be referred to the committee on ! the
judiciary. 1 simply wish to remsrk, in
1 moving to reier uiib uummuuiuuwou vw
I the committee on judiciary, that it has
I 1 .La! I , - L ! J

tbe .communication of, I King Charles
I to parliament, m i telling ; them
what, in conducting their affairs, they
ought to do and ought not to do, L And
I think 1 am safe in saying tnat it is the
first time in the history ! of the republi
can United States that any President of
the United sutes nas unaertaxen to m
terfere' with the deliberations of either
house of Congress, or questions pend
be before them, otherwise than by mes
sages on the state of the Union, which
the constitution commands nun to maxe
from time to time. This message is de
voted solely to a question for the Senate
itself, in regard to itself, that it has un-
der consideration. That is its singularity,
I think it will strike reflecting neonle in
this country as somewnas extraorainary,
if in these days of reform anything at
all can be thought extraordinary. I
only wish to add, to what I nave, now
said, a statement so that it shall g6 jwith
this message, (so far as the newspapers
will do me the honor to have it go) that
the President of the U. Bi has (unibten-t
tionally no doubt) entirely misstated the
m I. I i J .1 ft '
question, xne senate oi tnc u. o. in
its communications to the heads of de
partments (not his. heads of depart-i
ments but the neaas oi departments
created bv law) directed them to trans
mit certain official papers and that is
all. Tbe President of the U. S.ff un
dertakes to change the question' into
a: consideration by the Senate of
his reasons or motives for putting a
civil omcer as be might be caned "un
der arrest, with which the senate has
not undertaken in any Way to make auy
question at all. By every message he
has sent to this boay land they are all
public) he has asked the senate to ad
vise and consent tohis! removal of one
officer and the appointment of another
That is what he has done, and the Senate
in calling for these papers, to say both-;
in? of the wider considerations about
any deficiencies in the department of
lUsbce. is asked to remove these; om-
cers without knowing ; the conamon oi
the administration of their offices; ; But
I do not wish to go into that disc
now. I move that the message be re
ferred to the oommittee' on judiciary. j
Mr. Harris For reasons ; that may
not refer to here, I have no desire for
nor will I consent to a ! disoussion of the
questions involved - in this message at
this time. I move that the message be
printed, and lie upon the ; tablet accord
ing w uie uuiveraai custom oi iau: oouy
when a subject-matter has been reported
upon by s oommittee. The Senator from i

Vermont (Edmunds)!; as the chairman of
the oommittee on judiciary, baa already
laid upon your table an elaborate report
upon the general questions to which "
thu message refers. Hence mj moti n '"
was an ordinary motion, made here :
under tbe circumstances- that sur
round us' at this i moment. I have
no earthly objection to. the message
going to the committee on judiciarj if
the senator from v ermont (iMninnd?)
desires it to go there; but it is unusual -because
tbe subject-matter of ihe mes
sage has already been reported on by
tne senator from Vermont and there
fore, in accordance with the unbroken
usages of this body, I more that the
message be printed and lie upon, tho t
table. .
The Chair The Senator from Ten-.
hessee (Harris) moves that the message
be printed and lie upon the table
! Mr. Edmunds The Senator gave way
to me and 1 made a motion to refer
.Mr. Harris I first made a motion
to print and lay on the table, and at t!
: . . . r r -
suggestion ot tne senator from. Y ?nnou t
(Edmunds) I modified it to a metion te
print. Then the Senator from! Vermont
(Edmunds) suggested that he would
move, or did move, to refer to the com
mittee on judiciary.) That is j an exact
statement of the transaction, fi
Mr. Edmunds Yes; but the Senator
from Tennessee (Harris) has s perfect
right to move to print' and let on the
table pending my motion ; and on that
a eaii lor me yeas ana nays.
i Mr. Harris I make that motion to
print and to lay on! the table, aid on
(that I join the Senator from Vermont
(Edmunds) in the call for the' yeas and
nays. ;; f
Mr. Harris motion was defeated by a
party vote; yeas j 27, nays 1 32, Mr.

Mr. Beach,: of New.Tork, rising as he
stated to a question of privilege, sent to .:
the clerk's desk to have read aa article
in the New York Tnnea of Frilay last
reUtive to Mr. Eads'ehip railroad bUl.
uefore the reading had been completed
Hr. Reagan, of Texas, suggested that no
question of privilege was presented.
Mr. Jtteach said that if the gentleman
had allowed the reading to be concluded
be would have found that the charge
was made that Capti Eads had! been on

Unfortunately, he said, that charge wss
true. He knew, of his own knowledge, 1
that it was true. , He had no; personal i

knew him by sight and he had seen him
on the floor during the sessions of the
House, earnestly engaged in can vena

but they had been abused by many

however, offered a resolution

Mr. Reagan said he had -never seen
Capt. Eads on the floor of the House,
