Synopats of the Debate.
Washington, January 8.—The following
are extracts from the debate In the Senato
to-day, after it began upon the question of
calling upon the President for informa
tion:
Mr. Sherman, in reply to Mr. Morrill's
jocular query whether e Senator could de
mand of treasury, officials the reasons for
refusing to issue' silver certificates, add
that the qneation of “reason" does not
arise here. We can call for the reason tor
any official act The real question
iu that matter is that
cannot call on the President for the reason
why he removed a persou.
I believe the Senator from Alabama (Mr.
l’ugh) denies that the Senate, as a legisla
tive body, can call for reason for any act of
the Executive Department When the.
question was praised during tho Hayes
administration, President Hayes read wfint
President Cleveland has done. Ho said
that aa the head of a branch of the govern
ment he was not to give his reason for an
official act. I think that ia right, bnt that
we have the right to seek information of
nny department of the government whether'
tho information he on paper or by
parol. 1 do not think there is any doubt of
it whatever. Bat for that we could not
legislate, not even by executive sessions. I
have just ns mnch right to go to any de
partment and ask tor any papers affecting
that department, affecting legislative busi
ness, if I go thero armed with the power of
the Senate, as the Secretary of the Treas
ury, or by any department of the govern
ment, or aa the President of the United
Suites. That has. always, from tbo founda
tion of the government, been an estab
lished law. President Washington, in one
the communications that he made to the
Senate complained of the Senate that it did
not call for information. In all my experi
ence I have never known a case where a de
partment or the President had refused to
give information contained in tho depart
ment upon any act whatever, whether ex
ecutive or legislative.
Mr. Saulsbury — “President Washington,I
believe, did complain that the. Senato did
not ask him for liis reasons for an ai
ment he proposed to make. Ho did not
complain that it had not asked him the rea
sons for a removal."
Mr. Sherman—That is a modern distinc
tion fur which I think the Senators will
find no color. If they can show me where
that nice distinction that is contained in
the resolution of the Senator from Alabama
(Mr. Pauli) wns first mentioned by mortal
man, I should like to know its origin. What
distinction is there?. I cannot so* any Any
information that may affect the judgment
or conduct of the Senator on any subject of
mblic duty is information that he (the
’resident) is bound to communicate. There
ought to be no secrets whatever in this
government of onrs. It is a government of
the people. There is no rate or provision
for keeping a secret.
Mr. Salisbury—^The very act of 1869, the
modified act for the beuufit of Geo. Grant
vested in the President discretion in refer
ence to suspension from office. Now does
the Senator from Ohio (Mr. Sherman) in
sist that we have anything to do with the
discretion of the President in reference to
removals or suspensions?"
Mr. Sherman- We have no right to say
to another department of the government;
“For what reason did you do this thing?"
The President has no right to come to ns
and say; "Why did you boa this tew?"
He haa no right to cross-examine us. The
department* are *eparate and distinct, bnt

any department i* juat as roach tbs prop
erty of the Senator from Delaware (Mr.

Mr. Santehnry—"I differ train the Sena
tor in regard to this. If we have a nomi
nation to act on we can call for information
aa to the nominee, bnt when we go behind
that and aak for information aa to the sus
pended official entire discretion is vested in
be President I wonld like to aak the Sen
ator, a* a lawyer, whether there ia any
court In this country, from the Supreme
Court down, that can control the discretion
of a trustee, however humble the trustee
may be?"
Mr. Sherman—“Ia not that an evasion of
the whole controversy? We do not claim
to exercise any power whatever over the
discretion' of the President. We admit
even we do not aak for his reasons, bnt we
have power to control onr own discretions,
and we have the right to all the information
that we can get from tha Executive Depart
ment to enlighten us. I would like my
friend from Alabama (Mr. Pugh) to point
out where in the history of the past, in
any precedent of the past day, he
can show a distinction hot
executive information and legislative infor
mation? There is no each distinction.
Nobody propose* to control the exercise of
the President’s discretion—nobody. He te
as independent aa we are, bnt be
must not control our discre
tion. He must not prevent ns from
having the same source* ot information that
be ha*. He made a nomination. Why did
he make that nomination? Was the old in
cumbent an unfit man, a corrupt man, a
thief, a defaulter, or tha like? Our discre
tion must be enlightened by all the in
formation that the President has. I say,
therefore, that wa have the right to call for
that information. At the same time, we
•honld be to the President always courteous,
and, if he should giv* any reason for with
holding apapsr-forexample, because it waa
marked “confidential"—1 should not object
to that If there are papers not meant for
the public eye, and be should choose to with
hold them ax a matter of confidence, I wonld
say that waa probably a case fortbeexerctee
of discretion. If he should say: “I do not
care to talk about that. That came to me ia
confidence.” That te one thing; bnt when
be says that the papers npon which he acta,
containing charges made boldly and openly,
controlled hia conduct in making an ap-
ibUc file; he

of a man, to affect his family in futnro
time, if they are not to be Been by us, and
they ought possibly to bo seen liy him.
They ought to ho put in the waste basket
without action. That is what I always do
with anonymous papers that come to me.
Mr. Pugh's question about papers that come
to the President relating to the exercise of
his discretion about removals, is wholly
irrelevant to the question before the
Senato. On the resolution of the Senator
from Louisiana, I object to dragging be
fore the Senate and the country the discus
sion of the right of the Senate to make
this call on the President or any member of
his cabinet for information within hia own
knowledge, or contained in any papers re
lating to tho exercise of a power that be
longs exclusively to him nnder the consti
tution, and not to the Senate. The right of
the Senate to call upon the President
or nny member of his cabinet for informa
tion to enable them to prosecute an inquiry
or to exercise power that they do not pos
sess nnder constitution is one thing. The
right of the Senate os part of the law mak
ing power of the country to ask for infor
mation of the President or any member of
his cabinet is conferred expressly by sec
tion 218 of the revised statutee. In that
section right ia given to either Ilonae

THE FLORIDA RAILWAY GRANT.
Commissioner Sparks Recommend* That

Wabhinoton, February 8.—In response
to a request from Senator Call, of Florida,
for a reconsideration of tho action of tbo
Ihterior Department in ordering the with-
drawol|of lands for the Florida Railway be
tween Waldo and Tampa, Commissioner
Sparks, of the general land office, has made
a report in which ho concnrs with tho late
Secretary Chandlor in holding that there
was no authoritative location of the rood
prior to the expiration of the grant in
1868; that no legal location
could ho made after that date.
Tbo grant was made in 1856. In I860 a
map of location was presented to tho In
terior Department, which was rejected and
retained to the railroad company, In 1875
a copy of the map was presented to Secre
tary Chandler, who also refused to accept
it. In 1880 it was again presented to Secre
tary Schurz, who accepted it and ordered
the withdrawal complained of. Commis
sioner Sparks holden later action for an at

and held that such action was without au

Secretary Limar that the withdrawal be
revoked. Tho line is eighteen miles in

Pobtland, Oa»., February 7. -To-day, a*
it by programme laid out, the Chlneee are
being driven out of Seattle, W. T. It ia
understood that the Knights of Labor are at
the head of the movement The Chinamen
Pacific, lying at her wharf. The rioter*
pay ateerage passage to San Francisco for
each one pnt on board. The steamer plies
regularly between Ban Fran cisco and Paget
Sound. At this hoar, 2 p.m., abont one
hundred Chinamen have been put on
board. On on attempt being made by the
rioters to force the Chinese on hoard with
out paying the fare, which ia ton dollars in
each case, the captain stationed men with
hose prepared to throw fine stream* of
water on the mob If such attempt was
made.
The mayor ot Seattle and prominent
Citizens telegraphed Vancouver barracks
asking Gen. Gibbon, commanding the
department of Columbia, for tioops. Gen.
Gibbon ha* telegraphed the War Depart
ment, but no authority has yet come from
Washington to send troop*. Vancouver is
distant 150 miles from Seattle, and trans
portation wonld be effected by boat and
rail. The shortest time in which troop*
could bo transported i» seven hour*, and
even if they should start to-night they
would be too late to prevent the expulsion
of the Chinese.
Chief Justice Green, of Washington Ten
tory, has telegraphed Attorney-General Gar
land asking him to nae his influence to have
troops ordered to Set t le. Aa yet no blood
shed or incendiarism has occurred, but it te
believed that to-night there will be serious
trouble.
