kiagnf |i i ^,' tlr ' wmch was the begin-
washed report ? It is a report intended to
cover up by falsehood and misstatements
certain facts. That is a whitewashed re
port.. Now, sir, as a friend of the Presi
dent, ("ud I piofess no exclusive or pecu
liar friendship tor him,) I cannot sit qui
etly and listen in silence to such charges.
1 sustain the policy of the President as I
understand it; not because*it is the Presi
dent’9 policy, but because it is right. I
believe in tho truth of ihe statements he
ha9 made, and although he needs no de
fense, I cannot suffer such charges to go
to the country without a protest.
Mr. Doolittle—Whether the President's
policy he right or not, tho charge of the
Senator from Massachusetts does not go to
that question at all. If the Senator from
Massachusetts differs from him and be-
belit vhs him to be wrong, that is one thing
he has a perfect right to do; but. Mr.
President, he rocs further. lie charges
upon tho Presidor t of the Uuited States
falsehood in substance by sayng his mes
sage is a whiti waHiing report. He charges
him with a want, of truth—a want of patri
otism. What else can wo infer from his
remarks ? It is that which pained me. 1
was not pained because the honorablo
Senators differed from the President. I
know In* differed from the President on
this question ; but I was very much cha
grined to hear that Senator, as I should be
to hear any other Senator on ike floor of
the Senate, question the truth, the integri
ty. and the patriotism of the President,
however much he might disagree in opin
ion. I had huppoted that we all, every
member of this body, hau full faith in the
good intent!*.-ns of the President, in his in
tegrity and love of truth. If he has spe
cially displayed any character in this
struggle it is tli t uncompromising lovo of
truth, love of country, and love of Union
which has made him sacrifice and
endanger all he hud during thustruggle in
the South, and which has always charac
terised him H*i a man. It was not that the
honorable dt-natur questioned the proprie
ty of the policy recommended by him,
bui b*.cause lie made use of the remark
that it was a “whitewashing message,"
and intended to cover up infamy. That,
1 confess, sir. pained mo exceedingly, and
I was none the less pained that after hav
ing called his attention to it, he should rise
and say that he has nothing to modify,
nothing to qualify, nothing to retract. I
have said ail, perhaps more than 1 ought
to have said. 1 snail not go into any dis
cus-ion of these matters ut the present
time.
Mr. Sumner—I am sorry that I have
given pain to my honorable friends; I
certainly did not intend to do so. They
suggest thst the question has been raised
ms i.» the policy of the President. I have
raised no such question, and have express
ed no opinion in regard to >t. Thu Sena
tor from Wisconsin dwells on that point
and remind* the Senate that the policy of
tho President was not in question. I
knew it was no. in question and therefore
expressed no opinion on it; for when l
speak in this body I try to speak directly
to the question. Tnern wn«, ttion, no qu»a
ti.ui di.ectly before the Senate. Had there
boon, I nhould have been ready to moot it.
The only qu**fti..n was on the character
of the document read, and that I charac
terized as a “whitewashing document.''
My honorablo friends roseonoafter anoth
er, and like two lexicographers proceeded
to give a definition of the “whitewash.''
I du not atcepttfio r definition. 1 intend
od no such moaning as either the Senator
from Connecticut or the Senator from
Wisconsin ha- attempted to give l have
reflection to make on the patriotism or
truth of the President ot the Uuited
States. Never in public or in private have
I made any such roll ciion, and do nol
begin now. When l spoke, 1 spoke of a
document the* had been read at the desk,
and 1 chaiai terizod it as I thought il
ought to bo characteriz'd. My memory
goes back in l 1 is chamber further than
that of many 1 -ee about me. I remember
ti ut other scene when a whitewashing
message did come into this body from
Franklin Pierce. We ail at that time call
ed it a whitewashing report, and I am not
aware that any one then on the other side
undertook wliat my honorable friends
from Wisconsin and from Connecticut
have undertaken to do to-day. We all
felt then that Mr. Pierce's message was a
whitewashing document. I simply under
took to-day, after bearing that document
read at the desk, to characterize it as the
patriotic party of lHlio characterized tho
nif'Bsagc of Franklin Fierce.
Mr, Dixon—I am giHii to hear the dis
claimer now made by th** Senator from
Mussachusetis. Although he declared he
ha'< no explanation to make, nothing to
retract, he n^w says he did not me the
word in the s»*nso in which it is always
undcr-lood. Very well. If he thinks the
word ‘'whitewashing" h proper term to
apply to the Mo-sage of the President, and
moana nothing by il, I am content to al
low him to give his own definition. I hud
understood the word to mean what I have
indicated, and what the common sons** of
most men understands by it. But *8 the
Senator In skilled in lexicography, I will
not objoct to his applying his own dollni
lion of too term generally considered so
offensive.
Mr. Trumbull (Rep., III.) to-no to ask
that this debate cease. It was not in their
province to criticise or remark upon the
expressions of ■•pinion which Senators had
thought proper to indulge in. But it did
seem to nim that h controversy had arisen
which was not calculated for the public
interest cr welfare.

Our Relations with Mexico,
A few days ago the House of Represen
tatives passed a resolution calling for any
information in tne possession of tho Exoc*
utive Department with reference to a so-
called decree by Maximilian, th« French
Agent in Mexico, under date of Seplem- |
b»-r lust, establishing slavery or peonage
in ihat Republic,
It appears from tho reply to this resolu
tion, that on tho 10i.li of September, W.
H. Corw ! n, Charge d'AtTriis, sent a copy
of this decree to Secretary Seward, who
requested the opinion of AttorneV’Uenerul
Speed upon that paper. The latter gave
an elaborate respons , saying, among oth
er thing*, that the broad declaration in the
first regulation, that all men of color are
free bv tho fact, alone, of having trod on
Mexican territory, it is manifest that in
the subsequent regulations a grin ling and
odious A rm of s.avery is sought to bo es
tablished, and he c *nc!ud«-s as follows:
**I have n<> hesitation in saying that
theso regulation* constitute a law which
deprives workingmen of the rights which
wo in this coun'ry regard, and, which in
every well organized community should
be regarded a* inu-timablo, iiiulionablo
and indestructible, and certainly makes
them slaves Tim history of tlin country,
and particularly the history of the troubles
from which wo arn iu.-t emering, shows
that no loci* »y can bo organized porma
nently and remain at peace within us own
borders and with theoutside world, where
these great and important rights are deni
ed to any considerable class of men."
Secretary Seward wrote to Minister
Bigelow on the lOrii **f November, saying
that the decrees hud received the attention j
of this Government, and that if tney were i
carried into execution they would inevita- I
bly operate to reduce to a condition of.
peon slavery working men <•! the African |
race, and of course such of the freedrii**n
before mentioned a«, w ith or withoi t their (
intelligent consent, mav bo brought with
in the jurisdiction of Mexico.
The .secretary requested Mr. Bige’ow
to plac»* a copy of Attorney-General
Speed’s opinion in the hand* of M Drouyn
do I’lluys, and to at»k that tho alicntion
of the French Govtrnniont may be direc
ted to tho question which tho Attorney-
Gonernl has di>e.u*ed with ability and
w ith an anxious dCairo to arrive at u just
conclusion.
Mr. Bigelow lias already furnished a
copy of tho opinion to the French Gov
ernment,. but no rorpoii*e has yet been re
ceived bv' this Government.
It further appears from the correction-
deuce that Mr. R micro, the Mexican Min
ister, furniebod a copy of the decrees, with
appropriate comments, to .Secretary Se
ward, who, under dated December 10 h,
informs that gentleman that measures
have been adopted which are deemed pro
per to moot tho exigencies which they
present.
The Committoo on Foreign Affairs now
have this subject belon* lh •■■).
Who la Prc-h'cnt ol .11 xlro f
The rupture between IV*sidcr.t Juartz
and Genera' Orteta has put the question
<*i the titular i'rutsidoncy ot Mexico into a
curious light.
President Juarez admits, as wo under
stand it, that hi- term has legally expired;
but he claims to hold on to hi.* office be
cause there is no chance of an election by
tho people of any RUccca*or, and also in
virtue of “extraordinary faculties" con
ferred upon hitn by the •’■•ngress of Mex
ico.
Against those claims General Ortoga ad
vances the Uct that no C**ng r «i»s wk* in
sns-ion at the time when Juar« z w ** driven
out *f the oh pi t»I of Mexico bv the Impc
ria ists, an I that the “extraonli.iary la u -
ties" upon which Juar*z now rolica were
conceded to him on y by a “U"nnniuoe<d
Congress," composed of one member from
each Mexican State, and t mpowored b.>
Article 74 of tho VI«»\i«*»»n Coii*tilu ion to
fulfill certain specitic'l functions, of whic**
tho enlargement of tin* ex* entice author
ity is notone. To tli«*«•• negatives Ortega
adds hr positive that by At ueb* 82 ill-
provided that “if, f >r anv cause wiiatso
ever, tbe elec ion for President be no
made and published by the lir-tof D
cember, or the President elect l*e in any
way prevented from H-auinirig hi* func
tions, the previous ineu nheet shall n«*v
erthele-s cease to be President, an 1 the
Presidency of the Republic shall devolve
upon the Prosidcrit of the JSupretno Court
of Justice. 1 ’ ..
Il*wa4 fnVirtue of tMs article that R nit**
Juarez himself ih President »*f the .Su
preme Court of Justice, originally became
President of the Republic; and Gonzalez
Ortega, being new in his own person
President of the Supreme Court of Jus
lice, hr wed a* General in Chief of the
Armies, lie demand* as of right that he
succeed to the functions, whatever they
may he and wherever cxoro.Hcd, otalhe
Mexican Presidency.
It certainly does not seem upon this
statement of the fact* quite fair that Pres-
ident Juarez should respond to tho cl dm
_ of General Onega by a decree «f “ini-
j prisonment" in case he appear to main
ain that claim. Tftote i* a singu ar anal
ogy, it will l»e seen, between this Presiden
tial imbroglio in Mexi ••* and the Pre-i
donlial dilemma of the Fenians. (.) toga,
like the Fenian S •nutor*. appears to have
the Constitution on hi* side. But then
Juarez, like 0 Mammy, ha- nine points of
the law in “possession ’’ Only, it may
be considered open to doubt whether the
Fenian Presidency, with a residence in
Union Square, i- not a more ugroea' le
“bird in hand" than the Mexican Presi
dency, with a license ot the open country
between Chihuahua * K 1 P*«o.
General Gram o.n hulck.- 1 Tho
following references are made hy Lieut
Gen. Grant, in his late report, to General
Butler. The Fori Fisher affair is thus j
referred to:
I had no idea of General Butler accorn- ’
pzn>ing tiio expedition until the evening :
before it g*»t off from Bermuda IIu* dred*.
and then did n <t dream hut that General j
Weitze! had r*cuivcd a'l the instrueiions, i

of the explosion of the powder boat Tbe ,
expedition whs detail'-d n-verat days at j
Hampton Road*, awaiting the loading of
the powder boat.
riin powder boat waft exploded on tho ,
morning of the 21 h, tic fore the rnturn of |
General Butler from Uonufort; but it
would seem from tho nolle-' taken of it in
the Southern new-papers, that the enemy
were never rnl»gh**^jo f u* to the obj *ct of
the explosion until they were informed by .
tbe Northern press.
Again—Ai udmg to Butler's seizure of i
the Rich in mil Si Petersburg Railroad, j
whereupon he (Bu> I* r) had t«*legra >h»*d t** J
the War Dnpari m.-nt, “(fi-rieral Grant will I
not b** troutiled with any further rein- I
for cement to Lee from Beauregard," the j
Lieutenant General remarks :
On the lfi'-h tlte enemy attacked General
Butler in hu po-id »n in front of Drury's
Bluff. He was torcud, or drew ba'-k, into
hit entrenchments between tho forks of
the James ami Appomattox riv**r-, the
enemy i ntrencl*lfig urong.y in his iront
