committee on civil service reform,
reported adversely the Seney bill to
repeal the civil service law.

During the transaction of the rou-
tine morning business—the presenta
tion of reports fr< m the committees,
etc—Blackburn said: “Mr President,
I am directed by the oemmitfee on
naval affairs to n port favorably tbe
nomination whicn 1 send to the
desk ”
“What is tha ?” said Harris; “a
nomination ?"
Snerman’a b;e»th teamed to have
been taken away. After a moment’s
hesitation be taid, in something of
an undertone: “It will be withheld ”
Blackburn begged pardon of tbe
chair.
The chair laid before tbe senate
Logan’s revolution offered yesterday
to refer to the committee on rules for
investigation tbe letter of Eads, de
nying that he (Eads) bad any repre
sentatives on me floor of the senate.
Riddleberger found in this resolu
tion and Eads’ lei ter to L gaD, as
printed in lo-day’s Record, an attack
upon himselt, lor which he held Lo
gan responsible, and against wbiob
Logan protested. The controvervy
between these two gentlemen occu
pied tbe greater part of tbe time un
til 2 o’cb ok. A' 2 o’clock tbe matter
went over without action.
The chair then laid before the sen
ate the resolution from the judiciary
committee concerning the relations
between the senate and the presi
dent.
Pugh said he had expresteJ bis
views fully upon the subject of this
debate in tbe report mads fr m tbe
judiciary committee by the minority,
and the main object he had in now
addressing tbe senate in reply to the
senator from Vermont wes to pre»
vent, if it was in his power to do so,
which he admitted was a difficult uu -
dertaking, to prevent that senator
from changing the character of the
queetion between the seDaie
and tbe president. The real
character of that controversy
could not be misunderstood or mis
represented, as it bad arisen upon
facts apparent upon the Record aud
reported by the nv jsrity of tbe judi
ciary committee. When tbe senator
from Vermont was at the wheel he
steered by his own chart He never
ran on straight lines He never con
sulted the other sailors, aud he loat
his teas per when there was any
question of skillful seamansb p, and
when the officer of the ship under
took to select a crew to mau it with
out hie advice aud consent he in
stantly headsd the mutiny. At the
risk of incurring tbe displeasure of
hie honorable and distinguished
friend he should oall a reckoning so
that we might understand where we
are and whither we are drifting.
What were the facts by which ills
tbe duty of all of us to be guidto?
They were few and simple. On the
17th of July, 1885, George M Durkin,
being district attorney or the southern
district of Alabama, was suspended
by tbe president and on tbe same day
John D Burnett was designated to
discharge the duties of that < fflee
On the 14th ofD.ctmber, 1885, the
senate being ia session, Burnett was
nominated to the seaate to get lta
advice and consent to his appoint
ment. That nomination was
referred to the Judiciary committee,
and it lay there over a month.
In the meantime, on the 20.h of De
cember, 1885, ihe term ol office ml
George M Buskin expired. Ou the
25th of January, 1886, one month
alter the term of Duakia had expired
and be was no longer an incumbent
of that office, a resolution was seat
by tbe senate to the attorney-gen
eral. [The oenator here read the
resolution of the senate calling for
the papers in the Duskin case ] Fur
what purpose, he asked, was that in-
formation sought by the senate
of the attoraeygenerat ? The
majority of the committee
stated distinctly the purpose
for which these papers were sought.
[Here the senator read from the ma
jority report the passage ending with
the declaration that me “public in
terests and public duty would rtquire
that the facts be made known iu or
der that the senate may understaad-
ingly and promptly advise the re
moval.’’]
It was uie't'i, Pugh continued, for
hint to read the other passages in tbe
report making the same statement
that the use the senate intended to
make of the documents aud papers
sought from the attorney general
wu to enable tbe senate to exercise
Uts rtn Oi j,fc .la.-g —i-
remova) ot Duskio by the president.
What was the character of the in
formation sought by tbe cerate from
tbe (fflos of the attorney-gencrul?
The r solu ion spoke for itself as fol
low« on that subj-c :
‘ Resolved That the attorney gen
eral of tbt United Slates be and in
hereby directed to transmit to the
senate copies of al documents and
papers”— not public dooumeois; i.m
■ fficial document-; rot public or of
flcivl papers, but private documents
and private papers relating . xclu-
stvely to an i fficial act of the presi
dint in the suspension of Buskin as
district attorney. The difference is
that tbe set ate had been furnished
with the ku wledge of the fact the'
mote than four weeks before the res
oiution was ifleied In the
senate the tetm of Duskm
i ad expired. Then what possible
use cou d be made of tbe informa
tion Ffught in that can- It w«s
pure fiction Why the eportofti e
majority declared that information
was wanted to enable tbe senate to
discharge the great duty imposed
upon it of making an inquiry as to
tbe propriety of an fficial set by the
president, the power to do which was
expressly conferred upon him by law
to be exercised within bis discretion
If they had decided the removal
was improper or unwise, what
would have been the tfl-ot of the de
cision ? Could it havr restored Dus
kin? Was be still a suspended
i ffleer awaiting the action of the se j-
afo to he restored to the duties of bis
*ffl.:« ? Tbe eenate was to-day en
gaged in an inquiry about li e mats
ter from which there could be no
pessib e practical rsBult It was a
moot question merely and the seoate
was turned into a moot court to dis
cuss purely an abstrset proposi
tion. The refusal cf the attorney
general five weeks after the * xpi ra
tion of his term of < fflee. in obedi
ence to the expires older of tbe
president, to send in private
documents relating to ihe suspension
ot Dj-ktn was criticized in the reso
lution of the majority as a violate n
ot duty, and that violation was de
nounced as being subversive of the
prlneip'ei of the government aud of
a good administration, an set soobar
aoteriaed as to make it sufficient
ground for instant impeachment
What was tbe relation between tbe
prtsident and his cabinet ffleers ?
Pugh would let Edmunds’ own
words answer tta' question He then
quoted fromoneof Edmunds’ speech
es od the tenure of offics act to show
that E Imumls held that a cabinet
officer should be a gentleman person
ally agreeable to the president, be!' g
one of his confidential advisers. Y t
the senate was asked to pane a
resolution condemning the attorney
general for obeying ihe president,
whose advi: er he was, wbot'oodio
that relailon of trust and c u fide: 0"
to him indicated by the quotation
made from the epeecb of the senator
from Vermont. The attorney-gen
eralwastsked by this resolution of
the senaie to disregard the positive
order of the president, and thereby
make himself liable to instant dts
missal from tbe cabinet. On tbe
terms of that relation stated by the
senator from Vermont himself, the
president could not with self respsc
nave held that attorney''general in
his cabinet a single moment after
obeying tne resolution of the senaie
Was that the w y for one co-oidinate
department of tbe government to
treat another? Was not that a re
quest from this great law-inakl, g
power to the chief magistrate or his
attorney general that would result iu
breaking up their relation of ootifis
deuce and trust, and making the at
torney-general liable to instant die
missal from the cablne ? What did
the president say about the action o<
tbe senate askb g the attorney-gen
eral fir time papers?
Pugh read at length from the presi
dem’» message, among oLber things
the statement that there had been no
official papers or documents filed in
hie (the attorney general’s) depart
mem relating to the case within the
period stated in this resolution.
There, said Pugh, is a statement
by the pratidt nt of tbe matter of fac
witbin his personal knowledge, and
the senator from Vermont contr *
verts tbe truth of that statement
having no foundation whatever tor a
denial. There isytLe quare issu
made in tbe report of the majority ol
the judiciary committee with the
president upon a matter of faot that
is witbin his personal knowledge
Are these papers called fer from the
attorney general such a* this senate
has a right to have In the discharge
of its duties? Tbe prstldent had
stated that the papers were private
and un fficial and related to noth
ing over whlob the senate
had jurisdiction. The majority ol
the judiotary committee and its dis
tinguished chairman, the senator
from Vermont, said that although
private and uu- ffliial, they would
enable the senaie te discharge the
doty it bad to perform—the power it
olaimed of revising the < ffliial sot or
tbe president in suspending Gsorgs
M Buskin as distriot atrorney. Thai
was the undispu ed basis ofthe claim
to these private, unofficial papers. I
was the power of the senate to exer
cise the name oontrol and revision
over an act of suspension or
removal that was olaimed and
exercised and given to the senate
expressly by the constitution of ad
vising aud consenting to appoint
ments. There was no mistake about
that being tbe olalm asserted by the
majority of the judioiary oommlttee,
and there was no mistake ibat the
resolution reported condemned an
official sot of the attorney-general

on the order of the president infor

Vermont in this great law

aud fame aDd authori’y of that greut
statesman to sustain the clsim now
made on the attorney general for
these documents. What had Henator
Thurman said on the fl tor ot the
senate in relation to this power of re
move. ?
Pugti read from Thurman’s speech
es iu the debate on tbe tenure of ffl:e
act in which he expriSsed the con
viction that the power of removal
was an executive powir ixclusively,
residing in the president Roue.
Yet tbe senator from Vermont in-
vi kid nn order signed by Thurman,
as chairman of the judiciary oom
mittee, addressed to the attorney
general, which Pugb would read to
the senate Pugh then read the let
ter which was read yesterday by Ed
mui'ds milling for papers bssriog on
the removal "f Jud,;e Bobs filer, of the
territory of Utah. That person, Pugh
said, bad bee-i judge ot a territorial
court,and iu tbe provision conferring
the power ot suspensions on the pres
ident there was an • xpress exception
of judges of the Uuued S.atts The
question whs wueiher territorial
julgiswere embraced in that lao-
aasge, The senator from Vermont
knew that queoion was now before
tbe judioiary committee. He knew
that the great senator and lawyer
from New York (Evarir) was
a member of that sub c umnittee
with that splendid lawyer, (Jackson,
of Tennessee,) and that alter two
weeks or more of consideration Ibey
had made no leport on that question
submitted to them of the power of
tbe president, in vacation, to sue
pend a judge of a territorial court
The senator from Vermont knew
that the seaator from New York
(E7arh>) had expressed tbe opinion
that these territorial judges were not
subjeot to the power of suspension
by tbe president. That wts to-day
au open question before the very
committee ol wbioh tbe honor
able senator was chairman,
aud with the declaration by one of
the most distinguished lawyers that
ornamented tbe judiciary of th-
country declaring it to be his opinion
that this power of suspension given
tbe president in section 17G8 of the
revised statutes did not apply to
territorial judges. Then why wasp
that Senator Thurman, ascuairman
of the judioiary committee, seat that
order or request to the attorney-
general. He sent it under siotion
1767, making them subject to retnov
al, but only by and with
tbe advice aDd oonsent of
thesenae. There was a predicst.
for tbe order of Chairman Thurman
upon tho attorney-general to send in
all the information aud papers relat
ing to the removal, not to the sue
pension.
Pugh . »re read seotion 1767, and
continue-. : Under that section the
power or tlw removal was to be ex
ercised by ami with the advice and
onnsent ot fhe senate It was in
obedience to the provisions of that
seo ion that tbe order was sent by
Chairman Thurman to the attorney*
general ca’ling lor information in
reference to a removal that required
the advloe and oonsent of the senate,
just u in tbe case of aD appointment,
r: ere had been other prsaidentsjbe-
Bides Cleveland that had sent mes
sages to tbe senate, and he (Mr Pugh)
would read some of these messages
Mr Pugh read the messages of Presi-
dent Andraw Jackson, dated Dsoera-
ber 12 b, 1833, and January 13 h, 1835,
asserting the co-ordinate power of
ihe presidential office. Pugh then
inquired what wus tbe explanation
of the opinions of the senator from
VermoQi? Where would tbe foun
dations of these opinions be feuud—
the opinions expressed in his very
remarkable speech of yesterday?
The foundation of that opinion
was that the power of
removal was not rested in the preel-.
dent by tbe constitution, either ex
pressly or by implication, but that It
was a legislative power vested alone
in congress, and that tbe president
bad no power to either of removal or
suspension, except suoh as he de
rived frmanact of oo-'^’ia! Thv
was tbe precise issue made in the
first congress, under the cousti utlon
in 1789; that was the precise issue
made by Clay aud Ctlhoun In ttie
oon*e»’ with Andrew Jtcksou
in 1885 If this powi-r ofiemnval
was a creature of the In w, and liiere
was no power to ruuke the law i xcept
the twe bouses, then we could Hud a
predicate for the a atemeut of the
senator from Vermont >l>at either
house of congress could call lor papers
under that view of tho consHuHou,
Under that view of the power f re
movals the senator liom Vermont
was fully Ju-ufled in sla ing that
either house by virtue t f the ; i wer it
ponessed over this mutter of removal
had a rigbt to call for
information. Pugb read from
the spotcles of Elmumis
during the debale on the tenure o
Aloe bill to show that Edmunds
maintained that removal w as a legis
lative sc: In that debate, Pugti oou-
tinued, there was no doubt the begin
ning of this view en'er allied by the
senator to-day. H-.- (Pugh) bad uo
doubt that it was tl e legal opiui. □ of
that distinguished lawyer (E irnunu )
that u. der the lawmaking power
of c-mgrtsH this power of removal
could be vested iu (he bouse of rep
resentallves alone or the senate
alone, or tu the speaker of the house,
or in the president of the senate
(Rods, or that it could be vested in
the two houses jointly, that it wes a
pure creature ol the law aud under
the rbsolnte control of congress.
Pugh read from speeches of Cal
houn and Clay to show that the views
entertained by those public men sups
ported tbe view i f Eimum's, that re
m ival was a legislative fuuolton and
under tbs control of congress He
uaa Senator Walthall read for linn
from a spteeb of Buuaior
Bpcague in the lenate in the debate
on the tenure ofifflee bill A care
ful statement of the question
here Involved, Pugh said, wuich
statement was well known to have
been written by Chief Justice. Chase,
expressing on Re contrHry tbe oon
viction that the ouly fuociiou of Uis
senate in tl a case involved in the
discussion wae merely one of assent
or dissent aud strongly controverting
tbe point that the function of removt.l
was a legislative one. He (Png' )
boldly cl allenged a reply to that paper
as d reot authority to support the
view of Madison and the view that
was understood to be that of Chief
Justice Chase just read.
Pugh read ftvm the report of the
minority tbe opinum of the supreme
court delivered by Justice MRler ia
tbe esse of Kilbnurn agatust Thump
son. Tuert was, ne said, in that
opinion a recognition of the proposi*.
tion, that when one co-ordinate at
pertinent intrusted with special pow
*rs called upon another co-ordinate
branch >or information in relation to
the exercise of ihe jurisdiction or
powers belonging exclusively to
tne other department, it was the
dutv of the first to inform the other
of tne use intended to be made of the
iuformation so it m'ght appear to rhe
department having it in possession
whether it wae its duty to transmit
the information in order to promote
the exercise of tbe constitutional
functions of the government. That
wus pieolsely the question involved
in this case. Now, he continutd,
let It be true that this
was not a subuantive executive
power vested by tbe constitution in
the president alone. Lit it be true
that like the power of appointment
the senate shared with the president
the power of removal Let it be true
that tbe power of removal wae a leg
teletive power and not at executive
cower, and that the entire regulation
of It belonged alone to congress uu
der the constitution. . Let ail that be
true end he would now call the at
tention of the expediency
and practicability of suoh
cower being exercised by the seta e
He read from tbe report ofthe minors
ity as bearing upon the point a pur
tion of an extract from the message
of President Grant iu 1860, culliug
attention to the embarrassment-*
likely to arise from leaving on the
statute booke the tenure of - flies act,
and asking what faith the presi
dent oould pat In nub-
ordinates forced upon him,
and how suoh ofll dais would be
likely to serve au administration
knowing that it had no faith in him.
Tke information sought of the at
torney general by the resolution of
tbe senate, he said, was to enable it,
eo said tbe majority leport, to decide
whether they woulu advise and oon
sent to the removal of these suspend
ed i ffleers, so that if they did not ad
vice and consent to the suspension
or removal, the t ffleers
might by the operation
of tbe tenors of i fflee
act go back into their offices when
the senate should adjourn. What
wae that but exercising tbe power by
tbe eenats ofseleotiug agents tor the
president to exsroieenlsconstitution*
al duty ? What was it but compell
ing him to take into hie trust and
copfl lenoe men who ho bad suspend
ed from office ?
Pugh further read from the report
of tbe minority and from tbe journals
of congress extracts from the speech
es ot Senator Morton and Sherman
upon the proposed repeal of the ten
ure of office aot, and from those of
Calhoun aud Clay upon the powers
ofthe senate in the matter of removal
In conclusion, he said, his object had
been to define the character of tbla
conflict of authority between the
president and the senate and to forti*
fy the view that had always
been taken by the democratic party
and lortify it by authorities com
mencing at the first congress and
running down to tbe latest period.

Representative King, of Lonislaea,
entered a protest against the reduc
tion of the import duty on sugar
Bugar, he said, was the most impor
taut rt\eaue produced, and in these
days of increBsing pensions it be
hooved the oommlttee to aot slowly
in changing tbe duty. It would be
better, in hia opinion, from arevenue
point, to remove the duties on
the nioetHirles cf life, such
clothmg, shoes, nails
and biankeis From a protective
point of view be also favored Ihe im
petition ol a duty on sugar. Morri
son remarked (hat King was striking
at both ends of the table of piotec
tion and revenae only. Kelly added
that he bad studied the subjeot for
fiftv-eix years, first as u free trader
