L -gan submitted the following res

call it up ou some future day and
submii. some remarks ou it:
Resolved, That the sessions of the
senate commonly known as executive
sessions, so far as they apply to nom
inations, confirmations or r J otions,
shall hereafter be held with open
doors, and that a public record of the
same shall be kept the same as of a
legislative 'esslon.
The resolutlou was ordered printed
and to lie over.
Logan’s bill to increase the tffl
cieucy of the army was taken up auu
debated until 2 o’clock. At that houi
the judiciary committee resoiu.ione
came up, and Colquitt took tbi fl io:

they are engaged in a futile
attempt to place another construe

was no reasou wiiy the power of the
president to inuke removals should
now be questioned unit si modern
statesmen had discovered something
which had esoaped the sagac.ty ot
tue founders of our government.
Offensive partisanship, Co quitt said,
was not a new discovery with this
administration. He read a circular
of President Hayes prohibiting the
participation of cifice^holders in po
litical oauouses, etc.
To show, what offensive partisanship
was, Colquitt read a letter addressed
by an office holder to the secretary ot
the treasury, without giving tUe
name of the writer, or the place that
he held. Having been charged with
a want of dili gence in his i fflee, the
cffice holder wrote b Idly that Lit
had been nominated to i Hi je without
his knowledge, that his appoiutmeut
had beeu made looking to political
operations in the then approaching
political campa'trn of 1834. 'That

secluding himself in it, for such a
course wou'd have coi dieted with
Ihe entire programme of the friends
who had had him appointed That he
bad gone to Washington and re
mained tbtre iW" months doing po
litical work; that that notion was
sanctioned by the secretary of the
treasury at the time, who well under
stood the object of his visit to Wash
ington. To the average republican,
the writer mid. a letter from Wash
ington whs more iff olive than one
from any \ other place; hence be car
ried on n very largo correspondence
from Wiishlrg’on with oi z i s In the
state of his residence, and although
not a de'egate to the republican enn
vention. he went to Chicago and had
much todo wi'b securing the twenty
lour votes of his state for Arthur.
Co’quttt read 'rom the report as to
another < fflceholder, showing that he
was found short over 15000 in hit*
money order depar'ment and had not
one cent wherewith to make good
this shor'age. This deficiency had
arisen from the use of government
funds in the private business of the
■ ffl teholder. He had also exchanged
postage stamps for merchandise.
L gan inquired If that i ffioeholder
had been suspended.
Colquitt taid no, but that he would
ba suspended “it you will give assur
ance that the substitute for him will
be confirmed.”
Logan enquired if the paper Col
quitt had read from was record.
Ci ’qtlitt— • Y- a.”
L'gan asked whether it was from
the posh fflee departmen 7
C Iquitt answered that it was, and
that it was open to any senator ap
plying to see it.
Logan was struck, be said, with
the s'range fact that ttie records could
be furnished against individuals for
some senators to make speeches from,
but could not be furnished when
called for in a resolution of the sen
ate, [Laughter in the galleries ]
Colquitt assured L ean be could
have any records in the post < fflee
department if he would apply for
thpm. They had Dover been refused
Hoar inquired whether the facts
were that papers of this obaraoier
were furnished when * ffl-lals were
gully and not when they were in
nocent.
Colquitt bad no dr ubt the senator
could get papers of bulb characters if
t’ ere were such pap. rs in the de
partment anti the tenator would ask
for them.
Hof-r asked on what principle pa
pers were given to senators and de
nted to a resolution ol the senate.
Co'qultt s: I i they had never been
denieu. He asserted that no senaior
bad ever been refused access to Ihe
papers in that department. The de
partment had, however, refused to
give them in response to a call made
aa a matter of right by the senate
Senators bad uever beeu denied an
inspection of papers.
Boar said this was the first time he
had heard of Ihe consent of tbedepart-
merits to exhibit them to anybody
except to senators on the democratic
side, and Hoar had heard of a good
many refusals
Colquitt presumed the [senator from
Massachusetts had never applied, or
ne would tiave lound out.
Hoar said 1 e had never applied.
Colquitt remarked that in such oase
there was no good reason for Har’s
statement that papers bad been re
fused
Hoar said ht (Hoar) was a member
of the committee that had beeu re
fused.
Ci Iquitt admitted that, but said
Hoai’s demaud wi s made as a matter
-fright. He said that the papers
should be Bent to the senate—papers
of a very different character Iroin
those that he had read here—and that
demand had been refugee ; but all
papers of this ciiarac er, auu C. 'quilt
doubted cot, tapers of '.he lareet
character would be open to eenattrs,
who should seek to know what wa
lu them To.' ground ou which they
had b-en declined, was that, iht
seuaie, in its c.spaci'y ua a eenate, hot
iio riRtit to dernanu correspond.! c
f a privaie and c t fid u ini charao
rer relating to r-.m .vuls from < Hi -e.

v.dnat to be read in public auu pub

u quirtd if ih at was not i x..ctiy wtv.'
he senate was trying lo gut at. H
it quired why they suould have been
giv<-n to an individual ai d not to iht
-mate. That was son e hing that
Logon could not unders anu.
CoiquLt said it had been under
stood in the post. General J >ckson
had understood it. There was noth
iog mysterious iu it that C Iqui l
could si-e. Tue teua'edtmuideu pa
pers as a matter of right. The sena
tors would ask to see them us a mat
ter of cour eiy. He tUought that a
very broad distino.ion.
L gan said there were some sena
tors who would like lo see pspeis,
but who did not go to the Uepari
meats He was of that number. He
did uotgo to the departments to see
papers. He never bad done so and
aid not expect to, but be would like
to see papers. If (he senators iu their
aggregate capacity as a senate passed
a resolution respectfully requesting
papers, aud should be denied, tie was
afraid the oountry would uot see the
Dice distinction made by the depart
ment when the departments gave
papers to individual 6euators lobe
read beie lu order to condemn some
persons.
Colquitt said he had merely read
the papers to show that iu a cise of
offensive partisanship the adminis
tration should use its authority aud
should suspend or remove men of the
character indicated. The only object
that C dqtiilt could see that was to be
■uuset veu oy wio adoption ol me reso
lutions reported by the m ) irity of
the commithe was to place on record

jority. The senate in this matter, be
said, was merely usurping piwer

by ihe pa sag" of these resolutions to

Review for November. 1881
Tne senator from V rmon! (Ei-
muud-) had pres-nled the senate
some of this omiroversy with great
ingenuity end ability, Jacksou said,
but tbe ingenuity and ability dis
played bad not sufli ;ed to prove the
case he had attempted to make. From
the date when Pre-idem Washiiig'nii
settled the question iu March, 1792,
as reported in JtfFsrsou’s cor.eipouil-
ence, there has bten no authority,
either judicial or iegisla ive, to ques
tion the right of the president to de-
ti r nine for himself what papers
should be disoiosed iu the interest of
the public service. It ris"d la the
presiueuv’s discretion. President
Clevelaud had informed the
senate that there were no
official papers on file in tbe depart
ment between the uales called for.
To prove hlaasierilou as to the mai
ler being in the discretion of the
president, Jackson read from various
authorities, luc’uiing Presidents
Jauksou and Tyler. He also quoted
from a speech of 8 uator Bhermau in
the aerate on F hruary 9:b last, to
dhow Sherman’s view, that if not in
tended for ihe public, papers which
the president choose to withhold on

The ebjict of th<* present ooutri-
versy, Jackson said, whs the wugtng
of a political warfare against President
Cievtlaud He denied ibai Duskin'.,
commission was such >;s was sug
gee ed by Elmucds. A> Edmunds
had suggested it read that D iskin
was to tiold i ffl 'e unill his successor

had been necessary as a foundation
for Edmunds’ argument, for that
senaior had follow, d it wi:b the
sinteiment that Di-kin was stil' lo
ffl -e, even thi ugh su-pended. Tne
tenator horn V.iaunt bad fallen
iuto an error, inadvertently no
doubt. Tbe form ot com
mission u«ed by that senator
in his argument had not been in me
since 1869 U der the act of the 9 u
of February, i860 Duskin was euu
tied to bold < fflee only for the iirai
for which he was appointed. That
term was four years from the dale of
his commission. Hisc m mission was

In arranging for this piec" cf polit

io place a proper target

At 5 o’cleck, Jackson retaining the
