At that hour 'Xtxi judiciary committee resolutions eame.iup and Mr. Colquitt took the W in opposition to the majority report. . If there was ever a question, Mr. Colquitt said, that should be settled it was the question involved here. It had been settled by ;the : constitution and- by the first Congress and had remained settled for: forty years and when then, it w-fe questioned it was again settled and h& 1 remained settled till this day. Refer ring, to the; conte&t between President jadksbn and the TSenate, Mi. Cpl quht said that if the gigaotio intellects oi Clay, Calhoun and Webster oould net succeed in overturning; the received and es.tablishedfconstruction and interpreta tion of the i constitution it should be' a warning to jthe -leaders of this day that ihey are eneased in a 'futile attempt; to place another constructkin on tne con stitution. The; intrtnpower of truth was greater than i :the?rp' r ; of .the leaders. There was noi reason by -the power of the president to maxe re movals should now be questioned unless thelinodern' state -eu tA discovered som'ething which had escaped .the sa gacity of tbe founders of our govern- mav.'. aucus-ito wuoiii mi. Colquitt said, was not a new discovery with this administration. He iread- a circular of president Hayes, prohibiting the; participation of omoe-hoiders in a political isaucus etc; To Show what of ficial partisanship was, Mr. Colqttitt read a letter addressed by an omoo-nower to. tbesecritary of tbe . treasury U with out giving the i name of the writer , Or, the place ; be bad held " Having been charged with a want of' (V)i'ence in his office the emceholdt-r k 1 vie Ovidly that he vhad been nominated to tte office without his kbdwledge; .iat hu appoint menUhad bjeen made loosing ty : politi ealojerations In the then approaching political cauipaign qf Ibbi; iat with a viewf of iSereasingbis unciulness he accepted ; ' the office.

Mr. Colquitt read front a report - as to another', office- bolder, showing that he was found short over $5Q0r,in his money-order depart meht.and bad hot one cent wherewith to make good this shortage; This den eiehdv had arisen from the use of gov ernment tunds in the private ousmess oi the1 ;offieeiholder.

' Jlri Logan; inquired if the paper Mr. Colquitt had read from was a, recora i Mf Colquiti Yes." :Mr. Logan asked whether it was from the postoffice department 1 ! Mr. Colquitt ; answered that it wap, and that it was open to any Senator applying to see it. i Sir Logan was htruck, he said, withHhe straDge fact ; that": records could be furnished against individuals for some Senators to inakib speeches from, but could not be ; furnisbed-when called for in a resolution of the Si-niate. ' (Laughter in ;the , galT leries-VMl. Colquitt assured Mr. L-ogan he could have any records in the pOstpmce department if he would apply tor them; luey had never been -retttsed. nr, Hoar inquired whether the facts were that papers of this character were fur nished when'; Officials were guilty and notwhen they were innocent. 1 Mr. Col quitt had no; doubt the Senator could getpapers of both characters if there wore such papers hi the department and the Senator would ask foe them. ; Mr. Hoar asked on what principle the papers were given to a senator and denied to a resolution of the Senate;, Mr. Col- quitt said they had never been denied lie asserted that : no 'Senator; had ever been refused access to papers in that de partment. The department bad, how ever, refused to eive them in response 0 i call mads as a matter of right by tbe f 1 Senate. Senators had never ibeen denied an inspection of the papers. Mr. Hoar said: this was the first time he had heard of the consent of a department to ex hibit them to anybody, except to Sena tors on the Democratic side, and he had heard of a good many refusals. Mr. Colquitt said he presumed the Senator from Massachusetts! had never applied, or he wonld have found out. Mr Hoar said he had never applied. Mr. Colquitt remarked that in such a case; there was no good reason for Mr. Hoar's statement that the paper bad been refused. Mr; Hoar said he (Iloarj was a member of the committee that had been refused. Mr. Colquitt ad mitted the truth of Mr. Hoar's state ment, i The demand was made as a matter of right, he said, that the papers should be sent to the Senate. .The papers are very different in character from those he had read here and that demand had been, refused. But all papers of this character (and be doubted not papers of every character) would be open to Senators who should seek to know what wai in them. The ground on which they had been declined was that the Senate, ia its capacity as a Senate, had no right to demand correspondence of a private and confidential character relating to removals from office. Mr. Logan called attention to the fact that : they were furnished to an indi vidual to be read in public; and pub lished throughout the country, and in quired whether that was not exactly what the Senate was trying to get at. He inquired why they should! have been given to an individual and not to the Senate. That was something he could not understand. ! Mr. Colquitt said it had been under- btood in the past. General Jackson bad understood itr There was nothing mys terious in it that Mr. Colquitt could see. lhe senate demanded the papers as a matter of right. Senators would ask to see them as a matter of courtesy. He thought that a very broad distinc tion. Mr. Logan said there were some Senators who would like to see the papers, but who did not go to the de- partm its. He was of that number. He did not go to a department to see the papers. He never had done so and did not expect to; but:he would like : to see the papers. If Senators in their aggregate capacity as a Senate passed a resolution respectfully request ing tne papers and the papers: should be denied, be was afraid the country would not see the nice distinction made by the departments, when the departments gave: the papers to individual Senators to be read here in order to condemn such persons. . ' ; Mr. Colquitt said he had merely read the papers to show that in case of offen sive partisanship the administration should use its authority and should sus pend: or remove men of the character in dicated. The only objeot that Mr. Col quitt could see, that was to be subserved by the adoption of the resolutions re ported by the majority of the committee was to place on , record and perpetuate the malice of that majority . The Senate's action in this matter, he said, Was merely ansurpation of power to present ar ticles ef impeachment, thus becom ing both accuser and judge. The House of Representatives had not presented such articles against the attorney-general, neither had any member of that house proposed to do so. It was left for this body of "grave and reverend seignors," actuated by party feeling, to first file articles of impeachment and; afterward proceed to pass their own! judgment thereon, in contravention of the princi ples and practices relating to impeach ment, lhe intention was, by the pass age of these resolutions, to produce, if possible, all the moral eneot of an im peachment.: This was an act nn Worthy of the Senate t wonld simply ! have the effect of V ing that the Senate bad not gone beyond the limits of a po litical junta. Mr. Colquitt had listened to the mournful earnestness of the Sena tor from Vermont in commenting upon the Outrage perpetrated on the Senate by the refusal to submit this demand for papers relating, ; as jwas said, to tne "manner or conducting an office." That was the pleai Mr. Col quittdid not mean to insinuate any lack of sincerity . in these resolutions. He wonld not impugn any one's motives, but he would compare the Senate's action in the present ease with its action when the Republican secretary of the treasury (Bharman ) was the offioer on whom the call was made. Mr. Jackson followed Mri, Colquitt, also in opposition to the maioritv re port, file believed the right! of removal of officers to be wholly in the, President So far as the acts of Congress made re movala dependent on the consent of the Senate, those acts were an encroachment on the constitutional rights and powers of the r resident. iut aside from that. it was the candid conviction- of all the advocates of administrative reform that such attempts had been unwise and had been attended with no substan tial benefits to the pub Ha service. In this connection Mr. Jackson cited ithout reading an article written by Mri Hoar and published in the North American Review for November, 1881. The Senator from Vermont j(idmunds) i i-J iL. O 1 1 J naa presentee we oenat Biue oi tnis controversy with great ability, Mr. Jackson said, but the ingenuity and ability displayed bad not ; sufficed to prove the case he attempted to make. From ahe date when President Wash ington settled the question in March, 1792, (as reported in Jefferson's cor respondence) there had been no author lty, either judicial or legislative, to question the right of the President to determine tor mmself what papers should be disclosed in the interest of the public service. It had rested in the President's discretion. President Cleve land bad informed the Senate that there were no official papers on file in the departments between the dates called for. To prove his assertion as to the matter being in the discretion of the Senate, Mr. Jackson read from various authorities, including Presidents Jack son and Tyler. He also quoted from a speech of Senator Sherman, in the Sen ate, February 9 last, to show Mr. Sher man's view then of papers! "not in tended for the public eyes" and which the President chose to withhold "on the ground that they were recevied in con fidence." That would be a ease of the exercise of discretion which gentle men in their intercourse with each other r 'cognized. The trouble, Mr. Jackson continued, was that Senators weraot willing to take the President's state ment to the effect that there was no offi cial' paper on file of the character called for between the dates indicated. Had Congress any more authority over a paper in the executive departments than the! supreme court had? The judiciary was a co-ordinate- branch tfc the govern ment as well as was the legislative de partment. When the rights of individ uals were on trial before the supreme court, involving perhaps life or liberty, the judiciary was as much entitled to these papers as was Congress or tbe Senate. Yet chief justice Marshall, in the trial of Aaron Burr, sustained Pres ident Jefferson in his refusal to disclose certain portions of the correspondence which Mr. Jefferson asserted to have been confidential and intended to guide him to -the performance of his executive functions. The object of the present controversy, Mr. Jackson said, was the waging f political warfare asr-nst President Cleveland.' He denied that Buskin's commission was such as was suggested by ; Mr. Edmunds. As Mr. Edmunds had suggested, his reading of it was that Duskin was to hold office "until his successor should be duly appointed and qualified." This assumption, Mr. Jackson said, bad been necessary as a foundation for Mr. Ed munds' argument, for that Senator had followed it with a statement that Duskin was still in office, even though sus pended. The Senator from Vermont had fallen into an errror, inadvertently, no1 doubt. TLe form of commission used by the Senator in his argument had not; been in use since "1869. Under the act of 1869 Duskin was entitled to hold only for the term for which he was ap pointed. That term was four years from the date of commission. The commis sion was dated December 20, 1881; and therefore naturally expired December, 1885. Hel was suspended July. 17. 1885. The nomination of Burnett for four years was sent to the Senate De cember 14, 1885; so that the Senate was asked to remove him only for six days, as bis term would expire December 20. The office became vacant December 20, and the only question before the Senate, so far as that office was concerned, was not as to tbe suspension of iDuskin, but as to the appointment of liarneti to an office that December 20 became vacant. The question as it bad been presented by the majority was a mere pretext for an attack on the President.. "In ar ranging for this piece of political 'target practice," safd Mr. Jackson,1 "the able chairman of the judiciary committee has omitted to place the proper target be fore the Senate. That fact, however, had not discouraged either himself or his associates from firing at random throughout the whole political range. The proceeding is purely political; there can be no determination of it here. Both sides must appeal to the people." At 5 o clock, Mr. Jackson retaining the! floor, the Senate wenf into , execu tive session and at 5.45 the doors were reopened and the Senate adjourned I10USI. Quite asesaation was produced in tVe House 'this morning when the chaplain devoted his opening prayer to an in vocation to God to rid the land of games ters, whether in cards, dice, chips, stocks, wheat, bucket-shops or boards of $rade, and to lead the people to know that money-making, other by the sweat of the faoe, was contrary to His laws. On motion of Mr. Butterworth, of Ohio, seconded by Mr. Weaver, of Iowa, the prayer was ordered to be in serted in the Record. The House proceeded to tbe consid eration of the pension bills coming over from Friday night's session. A bill granting pension of $2,000 a year to the widow of Gen. W. 8. Hajcock was passed by a vote of 169 yeas! to 47 nays. Under the call of States a number of bills and resolutions were introduced and referred, among them the following : By Mr. Anderson, of Kansas to create a commission to arbitrate in cases of labor strikes. By Mr. Van Eaton, of Mississippi, proposing a constitutional amendment prohibiting polygamy. By Mr. Burns, of Missouri, for the settlement of railroad strikes by arbi tration.

An agreement drawn up by Governors Martin and Marmaduke, of Kansas and Missouri, respectively, intended as a basis for the settlement of the strike on the Missouri Pacific railroad, together with vie-pres- ldent lloxie s acceptance of the same, with qualifications, was presented last nigi to the executive committee of dis trict assembly No. 101, Knights of La bor. The Governors called in person upon Martin Irans, chairman of the com mittee, and urged the acceptance of the conditions by this committee, whu soon afterwards was called together; to discuss informally the conditions in serted by Mr. Hoxieinto the apreement. No action was taken last night. the mat ter being discussed in a strictly unofficial way, and after a long session the com mittee adjourned until today, when the. contents of the document will be form ally considered and some decision reached. The way in which the agree ment was reached by members of the committee affords little hope that jits conditions will be accepted. Mr. Irans would express no positive opinion as: to its acceptance or rejection, and other members of the executive board were equally loth to make any statements as to peir future course. Enough was learned from them, however, to make the rumor general that they would not accept Mr. Hoxie -s proposition The strikers object to that portion of it relating to the re-employment of only a i.i ti . .r.

If. the efforts of the Governors shall fail : to bring about a settlement of the present dinerences between the railroad com pany and its employees, the all-absorb ing question to the strikers is, how far shall they extend the strike in an at tempt to force the company to accept tbeir terms.

At that hour the union switchmen in every? rail road yard in the city quit work and the freight business generally was stopped. ine unicago a Alton omciais made up a train, by , the help of non-union men, and sent it out, but the strikers are said to have boarded and stop ped .it at - j the . city limits.

Denison, Tex., March 22. Two o'clock yesterday morning the watchmen at the round-house were surprised; by the appearance o. about 150 masked men, who commanded them to keep quiet. The watchmen, ten in number, were taken up and carried to the shop omceiwhere a squad was put over them They" were told to remain where they were.quietl v. as the masked men came to do tbeir duty, be the consequences what they might, and they would not be in jured. So the watchmen sat in the office awaiting the result of the affair. Of the mob of 150 men not one spoke a word, exoept the leader! who, after placing the watchmen under guard, went to the middle turn-tat le where all cOuId see and , hear him and said, "Men you know your duty; do it." At that every man broke iu the same direction, without the least bit of noise. In about five minutes the speaker returned to tbe office and ad dressed the watchmen, saying: "Gen-! tie in en, we are much obliged to you: for your conduct and wish to return pur thanks. You are all at liberty to go about your business. Ixood morning Lhe watchmen stepped out of the office und not a man was insight or: could be heard. They then made investigations as to what had been done, i A passenger ngine that was to leave for Fort Worth this 'morning at 4 o'clock was found with a steam cock open. The ' hose was VUb, 1UO UUUipcu VVt IOUU Jkllicvi entirely. They failed to open the water Ant 4Ka fiA .l.imviAl ntlt i a n A " t 1 1. ? 1 1 LA ' ' gauge, so tne eogine bad; enough water to carry her to Whitesboro, and while the hands were; heating and bringing her to lite again, a new hose a a a was put in and in about; an bour sue steamed up into the depot and took out the passenger train that had laid there all night. In the shops the men found that the large stationary engine had been re moved from its place, the water let out of the tanks, the hose cut, pins removed and engines "killed," so that it will take days to bring them to life again The damage done to the machinery Was very great and it will take some tune to repair it Every masauerader car ried a large piece of iron, a brickbat or something similar, so as to be prepared for a combat if the watchmen resisted. The watchmen seeing the size of the mob knew it was useless to resist, and; so allowed them to do what they would. The celerity and quiet with which 'the work was done showed that the men had been well trained and instructed. The Watchmen have no idea who they were and those who wore no, masks were strangers to them. So there is no way of finding, out the guilty partres. A CrraIlKo Mia., Killing;.

''Ed. and Charlie Brown were the sons of Adam Brown, who was one of the most notorious and desperate characters that ever cursed . the county. He (Adam) once attempted the assassina tion of a good citizen of the town in 1872. He was shot in the attempt and from the wound received he died a few years afterward. "Adam was one of the finest, speci mens of pure and concentrated meannees that the days of reconstruction produc ed. His son Ed. who was slain, and who was the cause of all the trouble. was tbe fao simile of bis father in looks, disposition, devilment, hatred of the white people, and everything else that would make him dangerous. "For the past four years H.d Brown continually sought difficulties with good white citizens by unprovokiogly cursing and abusing them. His brother, Charlie Brown, was; not as vicious as he (Ed), but the influence and example of 111 m - Hid rendered him as violent and turbu lent. The inception of the difficulty which resulted in! so much bloodshed and the death of seven innocent people is as follows : "Saturday evening, the 13th day of February, 1886, Ed. Brown had some words with Hon. J. M. Liddell. Jr.. hich Mr. Liddell thought had been settled, but in that he was mistaken Actuated by the same spite that always prompted his movements, he sent after his arms, notified his brother Charlie Brown and got together a posse of some eight or ten men. After making threats that they in tended to kill Liddell, and were pre pared for it, Ed. began to curse; and abuse Mr. Liddell in the most Violent terms. Mr. Liddell not being present their abuse of him was conveyed to him. "Ihey stationed themselves on the sidewalk, at a place Iwhere they knew Liddell would have to pass. They then stationed one man behind a tree at the corner of Cap t. Roy's store, about ten feeet from where they were. They had other men stationed both to the right and left of them. "As Mr, Liddell passed on his way to Somerville & Askew's office, seeing the crowd gathered there he asked Ed. Brawn what it meant. Unon renlv of Ed'. Brown hat it was ndne of his busi ness, Mr Liddell struck him with 1 bis fist. Ed Brown and his brother Char lie, standing within three feet of Mr. Liddell, and on each side of him, im mediately opened fire on him (Mr. Lid- aeiij witn aouDie-action revolvers. John Johnson, a man standing behind a tree, also began firing on Mr. Lid dell. They all emptied the five cham bers of each of their pistols at him. "Mr.' Liddell received two wounds from which he was confined to his bed several weeks. "Affidavits were made by the city mar shal, B. F. Oury, against Ed and Char lie Brown and John Johnson. Ed and Charlie Brown were arrested and waived examination and gave bond for their ap pearance. Everything quieted dowu and everybody thought it would be the last of the difficulty; but not so. Ihey continued making their threats that the blood of Jim Liddell belonged to them.' Tbe 13th inst. Edward and Charlie Brown made affidavit before the mayor against Mr. Liddell and six others for assault with intent to kill and murder them the: 13th day of February, as stated above. : The affidavit included some of the best Citizens, who were not present at the time of the shooting and knew nothing whatever of the difficulty All the parties were arrested and ; the case came up for, trial the 17th. "The morning of the trial Ld. Brown boasted that he would carry his body guard in oourt with him, and true to his word, when the case was called the courthouse was filled with negroes, who surrounded him,; reidy to aid him in any intentions. At 1 o'cck 100 well-armed men rushed into town on horseback , heavily armed with Winchester rifles. At this time, Ed seeing, the crowd from the window, arose' from bis seat, drew his pistol and began firing on Mr. Lid dell. That caused great consternation and excitTOient and the firing became promiscuous, lhe room was at once completely enveloped in smoke. , "In the smoky condition enveloping the room, and in the necessity not to lose the lives of, valuable wbite oitiz ;db by making no mistakes in quietly dis posing of the two Browns, who "had opened hre on laddelL and tnose near the major s stand, it was ' necessary to fire into the ranks of the negroes who stood immediately in between the Browns and the armed men made mad and madder still by the defiance of the Browns; by this precipitancy and by this means several innocent and inoffen sive negroes were slam without a mo- ment s warning. ' "The Browns made no attempt at escape, but with their accustomed de fiance and boldness opened tne war which so effectuallv made' them the bloodv victims : of their own rashness "The crowd, consisting of about 100 armed men, armed with every conceiva ble firearm double-barrel, breech loading, shotguns, Winchester; rifles pistols of all ; calibres, including the long borsepistois with their immense balls, bad ridden into town at the same moment from different directions: dis mounting they proceeded to surround the courthouse, placibg themselves in between the fence arid the courthouse, to prevent any escape; ami as the Browns fired up stairs a portion of the crowd, which had been stationed in the hall opposite tbe courthouse, rushed up the steps and filed down the right aisle which is on the east side, and then fired on the south-west corner, where the ne groes were. j y: "The negroes nearest this army were those innocent men ! who fell a prey, falling four or five) on top of each other. j "The Browns were! reached And went down in a twinkle of an eye before the volley of musketry in' the hands of the determined and. outraged meu. i There was a general stampede , of ' those who would escape the missiles of. thecrowd;think;ng to;reach the window, thirty feet high, and! jump to safety; but alas! tbe crowd around the court- : house, all being strangers, supposed each man trying to escape was one of the Browns. I 1 "Balls were lodged in all the walls, ceiling, doors, window sash, piercing the glass, mutilating j the benches, etc. All this occurred in less than ten min utes. The armed forces retreating down stairs beard two remaining shots up stairs and hurried back to .find that Capt. D. N. Estes, who was addressing' the court when ' the firing began, was trying to assist several old faithful ne gro friends in their last hours, and that Ed. Brown, who was i supposed to have been killed, was resting on bit elbows, not having strengh to;rise further, and had aimed two deadly shots "at Capt. Estes, who was unhurt, no doubt owing to the feeble and dyiqg condition of the half-breed leader, who iu his last ex termity had this bitterness in his heart. These shots brought! back those who were slipping away;bnt alas! they found their work incomplete, and turned a whole volley into the body of Ed Brown, riddling him from head to foot.' One of these balls, evidently from a Winchester rifle passed through three seats of heart pine, one and one-half inches in thickness. ' v "The Browns received not less than ten shots each. "A number of tbe negroes jumped from the second story of the -courthouse aud escaped without a bruise from jumping, and were unhurt from the 'flying mis siles. -' ! ' "The smoke cleared away, and the dead were examined&nd placed in dry places, where they would not be left in the pools of their, own blood. It was then j found that ten men hid been killed, and . three mortally wounded." WaabiBffton Hwa ltenaa. Washington, D. C.;, March 22.
