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 all information contained on the file* of any department i* juat as roach tbs prop erty of the Senator from Delaware (Mr. >f anybody else. Thero ia i* government that can be protected from legislative supervision. 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 t > be there to poison the fame 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 to call on Secretary of Trcasuery for any document or public records iu his posses sion relating to matters in his department ot public concern or relating to tbo dis charge of his official duty.

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 tempted revival by departmental authority alono of an expired and abandoned grant, and held that such action was without au thority of lasr, and he haa recommended to Secretary Limar that the withdrawal be revoked.
