hesaid, in something ot an undertone, “It

Blackburn begged pardon of the chair.
The chair laid before the Senate Logan’,
resolution, offered yesterday, to refer to
Ihe committee on rules for investigation,
tho letter of Eads, denying that he (Eads)
had any representation on the floor of the
^ltiddleberger found in the resolution, and
„ Eads's letter to Logan as printed in to
day's Record, an attack upon himself for
which he held Logan responsible, and
acainst which Logan protested. The con-
troversv between these two gentlemen oc
cupied the greater part of the timo until 2
o’clock. At 'J o’clock the matter went over
nrjt)ifiiit action.
ihe chair then laid before the Senate the
resolution from the judiciary committee
concerning the relations of tho Senate and
the President.
Pivdt said he had expressed his viows
fully upon the subject of this debate in the
report made from tho judiciary committee
be the minority, and toe mainobjeot he had
in now addressing the Semite in reply to
the Senator from Vermont was to prevent,
if it was in his power to do so (which ho ad
mitted was a difficult undertaking!, that
Senator from changing tho character of the
question between the Senate and the Presi
dent. The real character of that contro
versy could not be misnndeistood or mis
represented, ns it had arisen upon facts ap
parent npuu tho record and the report by
the majority of tho judiciary committee.
When tho Senator from Vermont was at tho
wheel he steered by his own chart; he never
ran on straight lines; he never consulted
other sailors; and he lost his temper when
there was any question of skillful
steamship; and when the officer of the ship
undertook to seleot a crew to man it with
out his advice and consent, ho instantly
headed a mutiny. At the risk of inearring
the displeasure of his honorable and distin
guished friend, he should call <a reckoning
so that wk might understand where wo aro
and whither wo nro drifting. What were
tho facts by which it is the dnty of all of ns
tobe guided? They were few and simple.
Ou the 17th of July, 1885, George M. Dus-
kin, being district attorney of toe Southern
district of Alabama, was suspended by the
President, and on tho same day John D.
Harriett was designated to discharge the
duties of tout office. On the 14th of De
cember, 1885, tho Senate being in session,
Burnett was nominated to the Senate to
get its 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
‘H-h of December, 1885, the term of office
of George M. Dtiskin expired. On the
27th of January, 1880, one monthnftor the
term of Buskin had expired, and be was
no longer an incumbent of that office, a
resolution was sent by the Scnato to the
Attorney General. [The Benator here read
the resolution of the Senate colling for tho
papers in the Ilnskin cane.] For what
purpose, he asked, was that information
sought by tho Senate of the Attorney-Gen
eral.' The majority of tho committee
stated distinctly tho purpose for which
those papers were sought. (Here tho Sena
tor read from the majority report the pas
sage ending with the declaration that “Pub
lic interest und public duty would reqniro
that tho facts be made known in order that
tho Senate may nnderstandiugly and
promptly advise their removal.") It was
useless, Pugh continued, for him to read
the other passage in the report making the
same stutenn nt, that the nso tho Senate in
tended to make of the document, and
papers ’.sought from the Attorney-General
was to enable the Senate to exercise the
power of revising the act ot the removal of
Buskin by the President, What was the
character of the information sought by the
ft-note from the offioc of tho Attorney-
General? The resolution spoke as follow.,
on that subject: “Rosolved, that tho At
torney-General of the United States be snd
he hereby is directed to transmit to the
Se nate copies of all documents and papers. ’. 1 .
opinions of the Senator from Vermont? tired from the army by the retiring board
stated in the resolution.” “There,“ said
Pugh, * is a statement by the President of a
matter of fact within his personal knowl
edge, and tho Senator from Vermont contro
verts the truth of that statement, having no
foundation whatever for denial. There is
a square issue made in the report of the
majority of tho judiciary committee with the
President upon tho matter of fact that is
within his personal knowledge. Aro these
pnpers called for from the Attorney-General
such as this Senate has a right to have in
tho discharge of its duties?” Tho Presi
dent has stated that the papers were
private and unofficial, and related to noth
ing over which the Senate hod jurisdiction.
Tho majority of the judiciary committee
and its distinguished chairman (the Senator
from Vermont) said that, although private
and unofficial, they would enable the Sen
ate to discharge the duty it had to perform,
the power it claimed, of revising the nffl.
trial act ot tho President in suspending
Georgo M. Buskin os district-attorney.
That was the undisputed basis of
the claim to these piivato official
papers. It was the power of the Senate to
exercise the same control and revision over
the act of suspension or removal that was
claimed and exercised and given to the Sen
ate expressly by the constitution of advis
ing and consenting to appointments. There
was no mistake about that being tho claim
asserted by the majority of the judiary
committee, and there was no mistake that
the resolntion reported condemned the offi
cial act of tho Attoruey-Geueral for the rea
son that he had withheld, on the order of
the President, information that he
stated was private documents
and papers that ho said were
unofficial and private, and withheld from
tho Scnato on the President’s private order
—first, because they were privato and un
official, and, secondly, because they related
to no duty that the constitution or tho law
imposed on the Senate. “1. there any
thing,” said Pugh “in the history of the
government to support thi» claim? The dis
tinguished Senator from Vermont ha. pre
sented a long array of what ha calls ‘prece
dents.’ I undertake to say, and 1 challenge
denial npon the fullest test, that there is no
case in the history of the government for
eighty years where any such documents as
those called for in this resolutions were ever
transmitted to tkb Senate in exeentive or
public session on the order of the Senate
upon an Attorney-General or President.
My honorable and distinguished friend
paraded in a manner that indicated that ho
was about to achieve a great triumph over
the President, toe production of a letter
sent from the judiciary committee and
signed by Allen G. Thurman a. its chair
man, lo tho Attorney-General. I indorse
all that the Senator has so well said abont
Allen G. Thurman. Yes, Mr. President,
Alien G. TUunnnn is the great, ct git
wisest and purest American statesman now
living. [Applause in the gnllorics, whose
occupants were notitled by tbe occupant of
the chair (Harris) that any further dotnon
stratiou of npplatuo would result in the
galleries being closed.] I was
surprised that the great Senator
from Vermont, in this great law
making department of tho government,
should invoke the name and fame und an
thority of that great statesman to sustain
the claim now made ou tho Attorney-Gen
oral for these documents. What had Sena
tor Thurman said on the floor of the Sen
ate in relation to this power of removal.
Pugh read from Thurman’s speeches in the
debato on the tennre of offico net, in which
he expressed the conviction that the power
of removal was an executive power ex
clusively, residing in the President nlone.
Yet the Senator from Vermont in
voked an order, signed by Thurman
ns chairman of tbe jodleiary committee, ad
dressed to the Attorney-General, which
Pugh would read to the Senate. Pugh then
read tho lettei, which was read yesterday by
Edmunds, calling for papers bearing on the
removal of Judge Shutter, of the Territory
of Utah. That person, Pugh said, had been
a judge of a Tentorial court, and in tho pro-
Where would the foundations of these
opinions be found—the cpinons expressed
in his very remarkable speech of yester
day? The foundation of that opinion
was that that the power of removal was not
vested in the President by the constitution!
either expressly or by implication, but that
it was a legislative power veste.i a'oue in
Congress, and that tho President has no
power either of removal or suspension ex-
:ept such as he derived from an act of Con
gress. That was the precise issue innde in
the first Congress under the constitution of
1789; that was tho precise issne made by
Clay and Calhonn in the oontest
with Andrew Jackson in 1835. If
this power of removal was the creature
of the law, and there was no
power to make the law except the two
llonseB, then we conld find a predicate for
the statement of the Senator from Vermout
that either House of Congress could cull
for papers. Under that view of the consti
tution, under that view of the power of re
moval, the Senator from Vermont was tally
justified in stating that either House, by
virtue of the power it possessed over -this
matter of removal, had the right to call for
information, l’ngh read from speeches
of Edmnnds during the debate
on the term of office bill
to show that Edmonds maintained that re
moval was a legislative act. In that debate,
Pugh continued, there was no doubt, tbe
beginning of this view entertained by tbe
Senator to-day. He (Pugh) had no doubt
that it was tho legal opinion of that distin-
;nished lawyer (Edmunds) that under the
aw-making power ot Congress this power
of removal conld bo vested in
the House of Representatives alone,
or the Seuatu alone, or the Speaker uf the
House or the President of the Senate alone,
or that it could he vested in the two lioUHt s
; ointly; that it waa the pnre creature of the
. aw and under the absolute control of Con-
tress. Pugh read from speeches ot Cal-
in 18(11, but was subsequently restored
to toe army and plaaed on the re-
tiaed list by the President's order.
After twenty years he put in a claim
for longevity pay, on which tho Court of
Claims decided that his restoration was
illegal. He then had a bill introduced in
Congress suspending in his cose the law
regulating appointments lo tbe army, and
it is this bill tout the President vetoed. He

An investigation revealed tho fact that
that all who drank of coffee prepared

possible nse conld be made of the informa-
turn sought in that cose? It was pure fiction.
Y hy the report of the majority declared
mat the information was wanted to enable
the Senate to discharge the great duty im
posed upon it of making an inquiry as to
the propriety of an official act by the Presi-
dent, the power to do which was expressly
conferred upon him liy law, to be exercised
within his discretion. If they hsd decided
that the retr oval was improper or nnwiso,

the Attorney-General, five weeks after

to the suspension of Dnskin, was criticised
m the resolution of the majority as a viola

nounced as being subversive of the Princi

Pound for instant impeachment.
, hat was the relation between toe Preai-
fmtiad his cabinet oflb-ers? Pugh would
Ediuunda’a own words answer that
the President, there was nn express ex-
Ion ot judges of the United States. The
Abn was whotherTerritorial judges were
embraced iu that language. Tho Senator
from Vermont knew that the question was
now before tbe judiciary committee. He
knew that the great Senator and lawyer
from New York (Evarts) waa a member of
that sub-commitleo, with the splendid law
yer (Jackson) from Tennessee, and that
after two weeks or more of consideration
they bad mode no report on toe qnestion
submitted to tb m of tho power of the
President; in vacation, to sus
pend a judge of a Territorial
court. Tue Senator from Vermont
knew that tho Senator from Now York
(Evarts) had expressed the opinion that
these Territorial judges were not subject to
the power of auspeuslou by tbe President.
That was to-day an open question, before
the very committee of which the honorable
Senator was chairman, and with the decla
ration by ouo of the most distinguished
lawyer* that ornamented the judiciary of
tho country, declaring it to be bis _ opinion
that this power of suspension given the
President in section 1,768 of the Revised
Statutes did not apply to Territo
rial judges. Then why was it
that Senator Thurman, aa chairman
of the judiciary committee, *ent the order
or i.quest to ihe Attorney General? He
sent it under Section 17t>7, making them
subject to removal, bu tonly by and with
the advise and consent of the Senate.

General to send in all information and

read Section 1797 and continued.)
oun and Clay to show that tho views en-
teatained by those pnblic men supported
the view of Edmnnds that removal was a
legislative function and nnder tho control
Congress. He had Senator Walthall read
for him from the speech of Senator
Spmguo in the Seuato iu the
debate on the terra of office bill—a
careful statement of the qnestion here in
volved, Fngh said, which statement was
known to have been written by Chief Jus
tice Chase, expressing, on toe contrary, the
conviction that the only function of the
Senate in the cases involved in the disena-
lion was merely one of sssont or dissent,
and strongly controverting the point that
the function of removal waa a legislative
one. He (Pugh) boldly challenged reply to
that paper os direct authority to support the
view of Madison and tbe view that waa un
derstood to bo that of Chief Justice Chase
just read.
Pugh read from the report ot the minor
ity the opinion of tho Supreme Conrt, de
livered by Justice Miller, in the case of
Kilboum against Thompson. There was,
he said, in that opinion a recognition of the
proposition that when one co-ordinate de
partment entreated with special powers
called npon another co-ordinate, branch for
information in relation to the exercise
of jurisdiction or powem belong
ing exclusively to that other depart
ment, it was the dnty of the first
to inform tho other of tbe nse intended to
bo made of tbe information, so it might
appear to the department having it in pos
session whether it was its dnty to transmit
the information in order to promote the
exercise of the constitutional fnnetion ot
government. That was precisely the ques
tion involved in this owe. Now, he con-
tinned, let it be tree that this was not the
substantial exeentive power vested by tbe
e-rastitnticn in The Pre, ident also., let it.ba
true tv .t» like power of appointment
the Senate shared with toe Presi
dent—thn power of removal;, let it
be tree that the power of removal was a leg
islative power and not an executive power,
and thni the entire regulation of it belong
ed alone to Congress nnder tho constitu
tion; let all that be true, amt lie would now
call the attention of the Senate to the ex
pediency and practicability of such power
being exercised by tbe Senate. He read
trow the report of the miuori.y, ns bearing
npon tbe point, n portion of uu extract
from thn message of President Grant
in 18i’>9, calling attention to
the embarmaaments likely to arise from
leaving on the stntuto books tbo tenure of
office act, and nskrag what faith the Presi
dent could putin subordinates forced ttpon
biui, and how auch officials would bo likely
to serve an administration knowing that it
bad no faith in biui. Tbe information
sought of the Attorney-General ,by the res
olution of the Senate, he said, wua to en
able it, ao said tbo majority report,
to decide whether they would advise and
consent to the removal of these suspend
ed officers, so that if they did not ail rise
and consent to their suspension or retaovid
the officers might, by the operation of the
tennre of office act, go back into tlu-ir
offices when the Senate should adjourn.
What waa that hut exercising power by tho

pended from office? Pugh further reud
from tho report of the minority anil from
the journals of Congress extracts from the
speeches of Senators Morton and Sherman
upon the proposed rep-al of the tennre of
office set, and from those of Calhoun and
Clay npon tbe powers of the Senate in the
matter of removals.
In conclusion. Pugh s«id bis object bad
been to define tbe character of Ibis conflict
of authority betweeu the President and the
Seuuto and to fortify the view that had
always been taken by the Democratic party,
and to fortify it by antbontiea commencing
at the first Congress and running down to
the latest period. Cleveland had no fear of
an appeal to the people; ho was res|ionsible
to them. He supposed the majority in the
Senate bad no fear of appealing to the peo
ple in favor of the omnipotence of ihe Sen
ate; he knew tbe minority had none in ap
pealing to the people upon the omnipotence
of the constitution and the integrity of
Cleveland’s administration.
