been subjected to unmerited, unjust
and harsh criticism. In the support
of bis ptsUioi- ttat the law was nm
mandatory, D ckery quoted irom
speeches delivered during the course
of the debate last year by JDirgley, of
Maine, an . Horr, of Michigan, to Lhe
effort that under it the postmssteT-
geueral would not be obliged
to pay a single dollar to
an American line of sttamsbips
It bad been claimed that this m> as-
nre was the culminating ec of a well
conceived plan which took it. first
step in the repeal of the law which
required American ships to lake
mails on board befoie they could gut
their clearance papers. He wanted
to call the a'tention of the home to
the fact that the senate had coerced
the house of representattvis into the
adoption ol the eubsidy clause by
holding out the threat of an
extra session He wauled,
and the democratic party wanted
to givesd'qutt e and libetal compen
sation to American steamships for
carrying mails. If the present law
did not make sufficient provisions, he
would favor any law that did, but
sptaklDg from a busim ss stand point,
he would r ever favor any tu">;sure
which proposed to subslu Ze. an
Ametican line of steamships for the
purpose of aiding e rumerce.
The debate was at times strongly
politic il. The other speakers were
Brumm, of Pennsylvania, Peters, oi
Kansas, Rlg kt , of Illinois, and Guen
ther, of Wisconsin.

of li utih class p. s masters removed

the unfini-htd tu niese cf the- morn
ing totur to uionow and iLe El
xuuuds resolutions wore placed belore
the set a e.
Voorhees look ihe floor in opposi
tion eo tne majority report. A'ter
stating the question at issue, Voor-
hees asked wuy the maj nity resolu
tions con ten teel themselves with an
attack on an ageDt (the attorney
genera’) and shrank from a direc
blow on the principal—the presuieni?
Did the senator fr m Vermont
expeot a cabinet iffijer to dis
obey the president ? The
resolutions were meant for popular
tffeot. They contemplated no meas-
ure of legislation to remove any evil
or pretended evil. They were mere
ly the fulminaiion of a senatorial
opinion, barren of result other than
Cheap partisan denunciation. True,
there was a threat that if the pipers
sought were withheld, norni rations
would not be ol firmed. A more ils
logical and rldicuious sequence c mid
not be conceived. If tue attorney-
general were guilty, as charged, of
“conduct subversive of the funda
mental principles of the government
and the goed administration thereof,”
then be should be impeaohed In the
manner provided by theconstitution.
That was a matter for tte house of
representatives to propose. The
resolutions now before the
senate cors'ituud a trivial
and ioeormque dial measure com
pared to the s'urdy and straightfor
ward remedy provid'd by the con-
stitu-om f.,r the punishment of u pub
lie til ial wilfully recreant and diso
bedient to the law. These resolu
tion--were simply intended to keep
republics s in i ffloe There was
noth!' g mere certain, hoy ever, than
that the people underat mi thor.h|eo-
•ts to removals by Prt s dent C eve-

been in the hand) of one of tin-
strong!s , most z.aloue, vehement
and pr’ecrlptivr pdl ioal partita ever
km wn iu Ihe history ot the world.
If during that time a democrat hud
held (filets it was either by mistake,
or by an arrangement not creditable
to the persons concerned.
Voorhees hiart’ly endorstd Cleve-
land’s action iu making removals su
far as the action had been bad, and
he would heartily endorse the pros!
deni’s action In the same direct on if
ii wn' a tboueaud 1; agues further
Of 3600 persons employed in the in-
icrlor department, V-orhees said,
oi ly 400 char ges hud been made un
der the present administration, “in*
cludirg the able and faithful 8*cre
lary of the interior himself and tin-
principal positions id xt to him.”
There was still in (ha department u
solid ri publican corps o 3200 persons

their own pat y and dtsiriug and
laboring for tbe overihrow
of the democratic par'y,
Subs'autialiy the tame s a a
of tifla. rs existed in the other ut>
partments, with the excep ion of
four h-claes poaimas'ers, there were
at present 'en repuhliciins to one
democrat. Voorheee had ro hesitation
in declaring that such a slate of
thiug.i was not cot stsieut with the
true theory of popular government,
or with its safe and honest adminls-
tra’ioa. The olvil s rvicelaw hud
never commended I s»lf to the Judg
ment cf Voorhees, Very recently he
had voted iu a c mmlttee and should
vote iu the senate for its absolute
repeal. It bad proved itself to
be a violent and odious ob
struction to tbe will of the
people and a stumbling block in thb
way of a rational ai d success'ul ad
ministration. History bad shown
that no poli ical party could admin
ister the affairs of the government
through the Instrumentality of it-
enemies What employers of labor,
what commander of an army would
adittinis er his affairs by the bands of
enemiei? By the hands of Mvibc who
were wishing him dt/es ? Who wen

opportunity to betr«y him At this
very hour ’here wits not
a confidential communication
of a transaction of any one
of the departments that was not be
truysd to *he leaders of the republican
party. The very papers demanded
by the senate were familiar to tbe
e >p;er republican eyer. Every paper
and every drawer and every closet in
the department was daily and hourly
under the espionage of republican
cnief clerks, republican private secre
taries and republican continental
short hand writers. Those who
opened ihe letters of the heads of de
partments were known ns malignant
"ppor-euls of the demreratiu oariy,
i tl until with a detire for the over
ilnow of the administration.

argued, was inadmissuble.
Call followed in opposition to the
maj rity report. Evarts’ speech, he
said, had placed this subject up>n a
new and different ground—that was,
that we should measure the oonuiti-
tional duties of tbe set a.e by a pmp-
csiilon which the president might
make in regard to a subjtot.
Burnett was not to be con
firmed because Duskin’a removal
had been placed upon Improper
grounds. Call implied that Evarts
was not consistent in his statement us
to the constitutionality ol tbe tenure
of c ttice aot and read from tbe pro
ceedings ot au impeachment trial in
support of bis view. As to the papers
that had been demanded, Call
caid, they were open and ucceBji! le io

they of any servioe ? Admitting that
