It wi« not djjjfc povered uptil the fl^l^^s had burst through the roof of the warehouse, and }t was then tqo late to render any poisi ble meaps of reducing the flre, Th0 flames almost instantly seemed to flash all over the building, and at the same time several kegs of powder exploded in the warehouse, scattering fire brands hither and thither.

The entire square, together with Com mercial, Main and Ann streets, were povered with goods

In discussing the first, he said it was absurd to assert that these sales were made under the ordinary circumstances surrounding previous sales. It was true that the Government had been selliug arms all along since the end of the rebel-

purchases, and that it could have been done by merely sending in his bill accompanied by twenty per cent, of the purchase money. The record, however, shows that business dbne fn that way, because some effort was necessary in order to satisfy the conscience of the War Department about the pn of making cartridges, and It showw* that the effort was not made by Kichardson in person, but by another gentleman, Remington—the same Remington who, on tie 19th of jthe preceding Oclfeber had been discovered to be an agent of the French Government. As further evidence that there did exist just ground for bos* picion, and therefore for iqveptiyatio&y Mr. Sohura read two extraots from the testimony given by Remington in France on the trial of Placet* Remington being a witness under oath said: "I did not regard myself as obliged to make advances, and this still less inasmuch as I had myself to pay (a em men nf tu

(States an ad

vance often to twenty per cent." Again before the investigatiugeonamitteeof the French Assembly he said: But tbe French Government and I were charged to treat with the Government, of Uw United States," This larit statement M4o showed what brought Remington back to this country in December of that year. He came to transact the business connected with the purchase which was ostensibly made by Richafd^oil), ithe lawyer, and it was after his return here on that errand that tbe interviews and negotiations described in his (Rem^igtqn'# letter took place. SPhe Se fWM I & diana (Morton) had objected to his (Schurz) statement the other day, that the government was not oqly tyauild pot to sell to men whom they hew to bi agents for either belligeFent^lmtialso to satisfy themselves by al^ means of information in their possession, that persons applying for arras were not agents for either of the belligerents but he (Schurz) was willing to accept Morton's statement of the rule, which wasr tha^ i£ the government had re^sqQ tq belieVe'tfiat the persoqs bqying arq^s wa? an agent pf the Freuch Government, they had po right to make sale that all the Government was called on to kpow, was that the purchaser was not aq agent of QB&P1 the other beil g^reptfi. and he iaii»&<r that the Qoveynqient had failed In its dtyty, judged even by that rule. The Senator from New York (Mr. Conkling) had said that Cash was the purchaser. That might be well, provided thfe Mr. Cash was not the representative of known agent of the French C|f y^nment. No matter, says th$ Slen^tor from New Yo^, (I^r. fk».h^liqg,) C^sh is the man whq buys, a^nd we look at potbihg but Cash. Rut then where }s ouy reasopaihle. diligence whe^e is oyr good fkith? No matter, says the Senator the great American Republic of ours understands her good faith, and interprets her neutral duties on ft sfcrfttly cash principle. [Laughter.] Proudly tj\e standard of our natio^a^ mojpUily aud honor W8% harna %io/t by the Senator f^oBpi. 3^ew York with a dollar mark in cash as a coat ot arms of this great Republic of the United States. [Laught6r.1 Seriously speaking, are we sensible men? Are we honest men? Is this our rule— neutral duty? Is this rule to pbserved* not only by us, but toward us? I^et q^e warn Senators to pause )qng before they commit tfeegiselves to any position so absurd, so 'mean, so utterly dishonorable. Let me tell them it is not safe for nations to play little tricky games, and endeavor to dover themselves up with litUe quitah, bles and teeb nical ties. Schurz discussed this at great length, and as addiMWftl ®vi" dence that- ther^ gro^ndforsuspicio^ a^(i ^ny?J5tigatio.n, read a paaiage from the testimony given by Jules Lucerne, who was President of the Armament Committee At Tours, in Franoe, w^:ile these sales were going on. 1-he qneetion was upon certain overcharges on ft lot 0 rifles, and this witness said: "There Was no expense beyond the per centage Allowed Remington, since we bad treated directly with the Federal Government of the United Stfttes, which delivered these arms w^thoqt charge on hpard vessels," After this and other statements he (Mr. Sehur?) thought the (Senators should cease to talk about the want of patriotism of those who called th9 attention of the Senate and country to thea matter, It •was quite evident that foreign governments were as well informed as tbcgr were, or even better. [Laughter Tbeee statements, made under oath in foreign courts, left no course open for the United States except to investigfttfej ftnd s]b(6w the statements to be false, if tniey wore eo, or if they were trqe, to p»qnis|i the guilty.

The second question iL were the laws of our own rouni# MoIa$^| £hd he argued that it was'at le*st a proceeding doubtful in its legality tq sell breechloading rifles at ftii. The,sta|t^te authorised the sale of old cannon, armaa«d other ordnance stores which, wwe damaged and otherwise unsuitable fMr tbe United States military service or lor the militia of the United States, and under this the Chief of Ordnance had ateumed the right to sell a

large

number of breech-

loading rifles of the pattern, of 1868, and that at a time when the mlfitii throughout the country were armed with old muzzle-loaders.

Mr. Mort$fl s^ifl th*t breeoh-leaa-ei-s sold We?? o( a discarded pattern, and that it w^s the intention of the,

Govern-

ment to arm the militia with an improved rifle. In view of thisfse^ ther#ore, the discarded rifles did aot oome without classes of ordqanee tioued in the statute. ^7

Mr. Schurz said that the Secretary of War and Chief of Ordnance had some doubt about the propriety o^ th^r fction at the time, and hebad a let)»r frbm the Chief of Ordnance to General Belknap,

manifest breach of law,. ehMgefl it oh the showing of the Chief tif Ordnance himself, and if there was to beany quibbling about this point he would beglic to hear it at once. Possibly ah attempt would be made to explain it away, too. but he would ask the Senate, what wonld become of the popular respect for the laws if the law-makeW tbUs recklessly quibbled away their meaning? What would become of constitutional, aove ment in th^a pqqntry if the ei officers of th6 government Were allowed to feel that like (Swar tiis, they could always rely upoA a^u^r missive and obedient Senate?

He begged the Senate "to remember that there was more at stake t!UMI4*?N ridges or cash.

On the third point, Mr. Schura argued that the facts already shownwere enough to juistify a suspicion of lions. The

keenly, as was shown by their attempts to divert the Senate and the country from the^rue question by charging those who urge this resolution with acting as French agents, and with- the want of patriotism. These charges were flimsy and absurd. It was the duty of the government to investigate this matter, and if the wrongs charged on tbe Executive Department have been com.mittedjt was tbe duty of thjeiegtelatjve 4 of thfiMgoyemtneht tofrankly and boldly disavow them. -Th&t was the jphly Course worthy of tbe American Republic, and therefore 'he was not afraid to discuss these matters in the Senate and denounce the wrong in them, for he remembered that Cobden and Bright^ when they warned the British Parliament of the consequence of its conduct during the rebellion, were far better patriots than those who defied for »8°^

He regretted that the Senator had introduced that amendment, for his own sake. He reminded him that spies were used only in time of war,

Mr. Conkling said that.Schurz had been the man to drag in irrevelant facts, and that fee

fMr.

suggested that he should strike

out that word from tbe amendment, as it was likely to be offensive to the Frenoh government.

Messrs. Morton and Conkling had offered a gross insult to the German Gov* ernment by assuming that the agitation of the question might affect the decision? of the German Emperor as an arbitrator 1 tetween tbe United States and Great

Sritain, and how much the Senator from New York was doipg to insult the flench Government. If this amendment meant anything, it meant a collusion of an improper natqr? and for im? )nper purposes, m)d everybody knew pt it wi^a aimed at three petsons, SumbipAself, (Sohurz,) and the Marquis )e Chambrun. He (Schur?) would vote or Ihe amendment, and would give the Senate some evidence in advance of tbe investigation. The Marquis De Chambrun Wjjs spy he was a legal adviser the Frenoh legation, a French gentleman of distinguished family and of high character and attainments. Further, ne was not the man who had given Mr. Schurz his first information on this suhect. [Laughter.] "But," said Mr. Schurz, "what ig the spirit of this amendment^" have said that I regret it for the sake of the gentleman who introduced it. I do not know that lean make tpyself intell Igi ble, to tr&9 mind or mor^ feeling, except in one wfty: by aupi&Mn^ that I h|)td. Intrpduoed an amendment directing the committee to inquire also whether all those who gave letters of introduction to Remington to France were guilty of oorrupt praotioes in connection vtfth ^these transactions. Does the Ste^ator want to know why I did not do it? It was because I considered it infinitely beneath me. [Applause in the galleries.]

Mr. Conkling said he had not given Remington a letter of introduction* to France he had merely addressed a note to Remington himself, the purport of which be nad fttated on a former occa-

B|r. Sohurx—If the Senator had given Remington a note stating that he had investigated all these transactions, aud that he would be very glad if the French Government would settle, them, and that he iAtd a personal interest in them, even hen I would qot h* the man to offer this

Remington containing the statement which ne had felt called upon to make in ustice to a neighbor and in the interest

Schurz said that when the subject was first mentioned by him he had repeatedly expressed the opinion that the giving of tne note to Remington waa ohly an act of neighborly friendship on Conkling*spart.

Mr. Conkling disputed this also, and said that bis amendment was an inuendo not aimed at Sohurz, Sumner and the Mv#ds Be Chambruii, but at all who might come within its. scope, and he meant to stand by it. He had drawn it, however, witheut having the statute booli before him, and if Senator Schurz found any offensive phrase in it he waa willing to withdraw that phrase,

Mr. Schurz—Oh have no doubt that the Senator i9 learned in this matter. I have neveraoubted that it IOORS just like him. TheBenator has referred to the statute wbicb he held Hp before us yesterday, tteeftteninff vrith fine and imprisonment, Why, siiy it a glorious spectacle! Here stand two American Senators, not entirely unknown to the country, whose

record is not entirely devoid of patriotism and service, and whose only aim Id to investigate the abuses aud violations of. law and have them punished Those Senators are met here by one of the Spokesmen of the Administration, flourishing a atatute in his bahd threatening them with fine and imprieontqeiit. Jiet it1?e known la every nopk and comer that he who is in earnest in Betting bis face against those in power and Who boldly seeks to detect fraud ana puoish violations of law, is confronted the powers that be with a prospect of the dungeon. Why, sir, in such desperate condition as that! [Laughter and applause fa the galleries.] They are developint lrttjr fast. How long will it be untiljfewwjau nofceven get up testimony a^ibst Leet and Stocking, the knights of the gen«ral ordei1, without having some statute dug up thnt will fine and imprieOn ybn for ft? ffiaughter.] But if tne from New York thinks tb^the cania thia way strike fear into my soul, he will soon find that he is greatly mistaken. On the path of duty that I have walked I have seen men far more dangerous than heia, and before a thousand of tfaeia A»y heart will never quake, No, iirt. I will vote for bia amendment—vote for it with the seorn which it deserves. [Iioud applause in the galleries:

Mr. Schun then spoke of the charge tha| this was a move to alienate the German vote. Ilie Senator from Indi-

ana^Sorton)and

the Senator from New

York (Conkling) were very sweet on the Germans Just now. [Laughter.] They nad said no man owned the Germans of Ant#»- That was the fact, and he was proud of it, for he was one of the Germans. No man, no politician, no Seuator, not even the President of tbe United States, owned Germans—least of all, were they trwhed by that class, of pollticaM who deMemtely clung to the skirt power through Whatever mire it may drag them.
