atx. In the Senate today Mr. Hoar re
ported t from the library committee a
bill establishing a commission, composed
of the secretary of state, the librarian
of Congress and the secretary of the
Smithsonian institution, to examine and
report to Congress as to the character
and value of manuscripts belonging to
Congress. Mr. Hoar f explained that
the work involved too great an expense
to the government. He said Congress
bad the Franklin papers, the Rocham
beau papers and other ; manuscripts of
great historical value; id the object of
the proposed commission was that it
might examine them and report as to
whether they should be published and
the best method of doing so. ;
The chair laid before the Senate a
letter from the postmaster general, trans
mitting, in compliance 1 with a recent
Senateresolution, a tabular statement
of fourth-class postmasters removed since
March 4, 1885. It was (referred. The
total number of such removals is 8,635.
At t.ViA rAntiAst ctt Mr" RdmnnHa thn
army Dill was by unanimous consent
.... . . 1
made the unnnisned busmess of the
morning hour tomorrow, and Mr. Ed
munds' resolutions were placed before
the Senate." . '
Mr. Voorhees took , the floor in op
position to the majority . report. After
stating the question at issue, Mr. Voor
hees asked why the majority resolutions
contented themselves with an attack on
the agent (the attorney general) and
shrank from a direct blow at the prin
cipal (the President?) Did the Senator
from Vermont expect a cabinet omcer to
disobey the President. (The resolutions
were meant for popular
effect. They
contemplated no measure
of legislation
to remove .any evil or pretended evil.;
they were merely the fUlmination of a
Senatorial opinion barren of result other
than cheap partisan denunciation.
There was a threat that , if the papers
sought were withheld the nomination
would not be confirmed. A more illu
sory and ridiculous sequence could not
be conceived, if fine attorney general
were guilty, as, charged, of "conduct
subversive of the fundamental princi
ples of the government and the good
administration thereof," then he should
be impeached in the manner provided by
the constitution. That was a mat
ter for thf House of Rep-
resentaUves to propose. The resolui
tions now before the Senate constituted
trivial and inconsequential measure
conipare to ttte Bturdyi. and straight!
forward remedy provided by the consti-i
tution for the punishment . of a public
official willfully recreant or disobedient
of the law. These resolutions were
simply intended to keep , the Republi
cans in office. There was nothing more
certain, however, than that the people
understood the object. As to removals
by President Cleveland, Mr. . Voorhees
said there were from lOO.OuOto 120,000
office-holders in the United States. For
twenty-five years this tremendous pat-
ronage bad been in tne nanus 01 one 01
the strongest, most ; s salons, vehement
and prescriptive political parties ever
known in the history of the world. If
during j that time . a .Democrat had
held office it was either by
mistake or by arrangements not
creditable to the persons concerned;
Mr. Voorhees heartily endorsed Mr;
Cleveland's action in making removals
so far as action had been had and he
ould heartily endorse the President's
action in the same direction if it went a
thousand leagues further. Out of 3,600
persons employed in the interior depart
ment, Mr. Voorhees said only 4W
changes had been made under the pres
ent administration, including tne 'able
and faithful secretary of the interior
himself, and the principal positions next
to him. There was still in that depart
ment a solid Republican corps of 3,200
persons, sympathizing with the efforts
of their own party - and desiring and
laboring for the syerthrow of the Dem
ocratio ; party. Substantially the same
state of facts existed in the other de
partments, with the exception of the
fourth-class postmasters. There were
at the present moment ten Republicans
in office to one Democrat. Mr. Voor
hees had no hesitation in declaring that
such a state of things was not consistent
with the true theory of popular govern
ment, or with its safe and honest admin-
istration. Ihe civil service law bad
never commended itself to the judg
ment of Voorhees. : Very recently he
had voted in committee, and should
vote in the senate, ior its absolute re
peal. It had proved itself to be a vio
lent and odious obstruction to the Will
of the people and a stumbling-blook In
the way of a rational and successful ad'
ministration. History had shown that
no political party could administer the
affairs of government through the in
strumentality of its enemies. What
employer of labor, what commander
an army, would administer his anairs by
the bands of his enemies, by the hands of
those Who would wish him defeat, who
were censorious in . mind, untaitbtul in
heart, and often only awaiting an oppor
tunity to betray him. At this very
hour there was not a conndential com
munication or transaction of any one ; of
the departments that was not betrayed
to the leaders of - the republican party.
The very papers demanded by the Sen
ate were familiar to ' eager Republican
eyes. ' Every paper and every drawer
and every closet in the departments was
daily and hourly under he espionage of
Republican chief clerks, Jlepubliean
private secretaries and Republican con-
fidential short-hand writers. Those who I
opened the letters of the heads of de
partments were known as malignant op
ponents of the .Democratic party, in
flamed with a desire for the overthrow
of the administration.
Mr. Evaris followed Mr. Voorhees..
He supported the majority report. The
resolutions reported, he i said, declared
that the demand made by the judiciary
committee on the attorney general for
papers should, under the circumstances,
have been complied with, and that
neither his duty nor the instructions of
the President justified him in his refusal
to comply the demand. Mr. Evarts
read from the report ol the minority of
the judiciary committee to show that
the minority conceded that official pa
pers on file in the departments relating
to a subject within the I jurisdiction of
the House of Representatives and the
Senate were subject to the call of either
house of Congress. On this admission
he said it seemed to .him there should
be but littlw dubt as to the vote on the
resolutions before the Senate. He said
the arguments made by Democratic Sen
ators would accord to the President the
right to say whether the papers called
for related to a subject with which Con
gress had a right to deal. He could
under this contention refuse papers af
fecting his own conduct which it might
be important for Congress to secure.
This doctrine he argued was inadmissible.
Mr. uali followed m opposition to the
majority report. Mr. ttvarts' speech,
1.. : j 1.- 3 i j it ?' t . .
118 BiU naapiacea mis suDject upon a
new ana ainerent ground, mat was
that we should measure the constitu
tional duties of the Senate by the propo
sitions whioh the President might make
in regard to a subject,' Burnett was
not to be confirmed because Duskin's
removal had been placed upon improper
grounds. Mr. Call thought that Mr.
Evarts was not consistent in his state
ments as to the constitutionality of the
tenure-of-office act, and - read from the
proceedings of the impeachment trial lin
support 01 nis view. AS to tne papers
that had been demanded, Mr. Call said
they were Open and accessible to every
member of the Senate. Admit
ting that the departments were
filled with documents bearing on
the case; admitting even that these
documents I were filled ! with libelous
charges, what function could they serve
in the performance of the constitutional
duties imposed upon Senators 1 They
neither made the proposed incumbent
more worthy or less worthy. The fact
that a man's predecessor is slandered
does not affect the man appointed, i The
President naa a right to dispose 01 com
munications addressed to him as he saw
fit. If the ; principle on which i these
resolutions; proceeded was correct the
President pngbt as well abdicate his
powers to j the Senate. ! It had been
maintained here that the President could
not interpret the constitution for him-
self, yet hers was a proposition that t
Senate should interpret it for him. T)
the
The
whole discussion was beneath the dig
nity of the Senate. Its purpose was to
maintain, in omce the present Republi
can offioe-holdert. ; .
Mr. Ingalls obtained the floor but
gave way for amotion to go into execu
tive session. .Before the doors were
closed Mr. Edmunds intimated that'as
far as was in his power he should insist
upon a vote on these resolutions before
adjournment tomorrow. ; After ah exec
utive session the Senate adjourned.
The debate will be renewed immedi
ately after the introduction of bills and
the submission of reports from the com
mittees tomorrow, shortly after 12
o'clock. j ' '

Mr. Dunn, of Arkansas, from the
shipping committee, reported the free
ship bill and it was placed on the cal
endar. Mr. Pingley, of Maine, pre
sented the minority report.
In the morning hour Mr. Barksdaie,
of Mississippi, called up and after some
discussion the House passed, 1 a bill
granting fifteen days' leave of absence
to employees of tne government printing
office. The House went into committee
of the whole on the postoffice appropri
ation bill. Mr. Dockery, of Missouri,
reviewed the legislative history of the
foreign mail service of the postoffice de
partment from 1845 to the present time
and defended the postmaster general
from Mr. ' Burroughs' attack of yester
day. He quoted what he denominated
the "subsidy" clause of the last post
office appropriation bill. It gave
to the postmaster general authority to
advertise for letting contracts to Ameri
can steamships, but there was nothing
mandatory in the act. : It vested in him
discretion, ana in tne exercise 01 s just
and wise' discretion . the postmaster
I general had been subjected to unmerited,
unjust and harsh criticism. In support
of his position was tne law was not
mandatory, Mr. Dockery quoted from
speeches delivered during the course of
the debate last year by Messrs. xungiey,
of Maine,, and Horr, of Michigan, to
the effect that under it the postmaster-
general would not be obliged to pay a
single dollar to an American line 01

this measure was the culminating act 01
well-conceived plan which took
its first stop in

of a law
ships to

get their clearance papers. He wanted
to call the attenuon 01 tne nouse to tne
fact that the Senate bad coerced the
House of Representatives into, the
adoption of the subsidy clause by hold
ing out a threat of an extra session. He
wanted, and the Democratic party
wanted to give adequate and liberal
compensation to American steamships
for carrying the mails. If the present
law did not make sufficient provision
he would favor any law that did. But
speaking from a business stand-point he
would never favor ' any measure
which proposed to subsidize an
American line of steamships for
the purpose of aiding commerce.
The debate was at times strongly politi
cal. Among the speakers were Messrs.
Brumut, of Pennsylvania; Peters, of
Kansas;- Rifrgs, of Illinois, and Ouen
ther, of Wisconsin. The committee
rose at 5 o'clock and took a recess to 7.30.

BXOAUU, Mo., March z5. some men
were arrested yesterday -charged with
wrecking a freight train' Tuesday and
injuring four men. The accused were
admitted to bail. The law and order
league last night issued an address which
demands that the strikers obey the law,
permit the railroad to operate the road
or take the consequences of their viola
tion of law like other criminals. The
spirit of the people is thoroughly aroused
and they openly endorse- Mr. uoxie s
course. I he Knights Of Labor here are
divided and it is expected that some
thing will take place to-day to see which

Stirring events may shortly be expected.
si. Louis, March 2d. A member of
the executive committee of district as
sembly No. 101, Knights of Labor, was
seen by a reporter early ,this morning,
and in reply to a question whether or not
the men employed in the failroad yards
in 'east St. Louis would be ordered to
strike as a result of later changes in the
situation,' said : "The east St. Louis
yard men will go out this, afternoon at
3 o'clock. You know they have been
anxious to go out themselves for some
time, but we have been holding back.
Yesterday they sent a committee to the
executive of assembly No. 3,650, and
they sent them to us. I hey said they
wanted to go out immediately, and we
decided to fix the time at 3 o'clock this
afternoon. They will all stop work at
that time, unless the Missouri Pacific
officials show a disposition to treat with
us."

WAsraKQTON, March 25. The condi
tion of secretary Manning' at 11 o'clock
this morning, as reported by Dr. Lin
coln, is rather more hopeful than at any
time since his attack. He rested fairly
well last night, waking only at rather
long intervals. "He seems to breathe
with more ease this morning," said his
son, "and all things considered we feel
encouraged, but he is a very sick man,"
he continued, "and we can only hope
until the next two or three days bring
a crisis." "Father does not vet know
of my arrival, or indeed that the family
sent for me, and we think it best that
he should not know until the crisis is
past. As soon as he is able to travel,"
he added. "I shall insist upon his
taking a good long vacation, perhaps in
Florida.1 He needs rest, of all things,
and I shall certainly insist upon his
taking it."

There are some who call themselves
Democrats and papers which they publish
and call Democratic newspapers, which
are already calling upon the President
to veto the Blair pill in case it should
pass the House as well as the Senate. They
do this upon the ground, as they allege,
that the bill is unconstitutional. That
is, it is unconstitutional in their opin-
! and that of some others, while a
large majority of not only the voters,
but the thinkers as well, declare for its
entire constitutionality. To call upon
Mr, Cleveland to veto; a bill as uncon
stitutional when the constitutionality of
the measure has never been acted upon
is .treason to the party, a violation
of ihe best interests of the people and
contrary to common sense and common
honesty. If the bill shall be declared
unconstitutional by the supreme court,
the only body in the land ("outside of
the unorganized corps: of constitutional
editors') which has a right to pronounce
upon the matter, then there will be no
necessity for a veto. If the court shall
decide, on the contrary, that the meas-
ure is in accordance wnn tne provisions
of ihe organic law of the land, the great
charter of our liberties, and the ruler
and guide as well, then a veto would be
and act of unfaith towards the people,
an overriding and trampling down of
their rights and privileges and preroga
tives, and an act of tyranny and usurpa
tion that we do not for one moment be
lieve that Grover Cleveland will be
guilty of. Wilmington Review.
Just so, and Southern Democratic
Congressmen who combine with North

a measure calculated to benefit the
South, will more than likely, we think,
find themselves badly left when they go

be entrusted with seats in the -national
halls of legislation. Rockingham Spirit

The following is genuine and very nest:
The nine-year old "boy of a prominent
member of the Raleigh bar was puzzling
over a tough arithmetic lesson, with the
point of his pencil in his mouth. Ills
mother, observing what might become a
bad habit, asked him if he was working
his sums on his teeth. "No, ma'am,"
said the youngster, "but I wish I could,
for I would have my lesson at my
tongue's end." It wasn't bad; was it?

young man Thomas Ryan, who was re

appearance of her son. The police last
evening said they had searched Raleigh
and its suburbs thoroughly. The man
may have left the city. . If be committed
suicide, he probably went to some lonely
spot near here before taking the lauda

taking.
