'"°'in SEXATJE'

YESTERDAY AFTERNOON SESSION. '1 Washington, Dec., 14. »!.-. The chair—Mr, Ferry replied that the credentials were presented by the

Senator from Kentucky, Mr. Mc*Cree*y. -.. Mr. Edmunds said lie had no objectioa to their withdrawal.

Mr. Thurman said it was a matter of no cousequence whether these credentials be withdrawn or not undoubtedly their withdrawal would put ap encLtO the.clainii of McMillan ,for a seat in this body, but that •woultl have no effect whatever on the claim of Mr. Pinchback for the :seat.

The committee of the Senate had reported that neither the body which elected Pinchback, or that which -elected McEnery was the legal Legislature of the State.

Mr. Davis inquired if there were •not two sets of credentials of Mr. McMillan's.

The chair replied that there were -two seta those presented by the Ben--ator from Kentucky and the other isent directly to the Senate.

Mr. Morton said there never was any such body as the McEnery Leg** islature. This whole McEnery government was a sham and a fraud.

Mr. Stephenson, of Kentucky, said in personal aspect this matter amounted to very little,but the Senate should be very careful about fixang the precedent. He thought when credentials,! properly authenticated by the Governor of a State, -were laid upon the table, it become more than a personal matter, and the claimant had no right to withdraw them. He toofc issue with the Senator from Indiana, Morton, as ^to the McEnery Government being a fraud.. He, Stevenson, believed it was true, that the Government of Louisiana and the Kellog Government, is a fraud, a bribery' and a corruption. The committee on privileges and elections had reported to the Senate that the Kellog Government was a fraud, and the record would show it. He argued that the senate was'stopped by the report of the committee from reconiziug tfare

Kellog Government. g)Howe denied that tli9 SenateJJwas stopped by the report of the Icommittee* He would not consider himself stopped by the report of any committee.

Mr. White said it occurred to him that the credentials of any person after being once placed in custody of the Senate, could not be withdrawn. They came to the Senate from a sovereign State, and it was the right of a State to lay before the Senate of the United States a certificate that she had exercised her sovereign power by electing a Senator of the United States, without reference to the questiou whether McEnery or Kellogg was elected Governor of Louisiana. He argued that McMillan had uo right to come here and ask to withdraw his papers. He moved that motion to grant request to withdraw be referred to the Committee on Privileges and Election?, Rejected without question.

Mr. Bayard inquired into -whose hands these credentials were to be delivered in case the Senate acceeded to the request They came from the State of Louisiana, and could not be delivered to Mr.McMillan. He read from the record to show' that McMillan's credentials were present--ed by Mr.«West, and referred to the Committee on Privileges and Elections.

Howe said he did not desire to raise issue with any Senator on the other side as to-the custody or value of these precious papeA undoubtedly tbey came before the Senate in such a shape as to place them on the jour* na\, and make them pare of the record. He argued that it had always been the practice of the Seuate to allow papers in regard to claims to be withdrawn. No injustice would be done by allowing the claim to be withdrawn, and he was ia favor of it. ,/

Bayard said he believed in his soul that McEnery was the legal Governor of Louisiana, and had been kept from his place by usupation and federal power. (Slight applause in the trailery, but promptly checked.) The question bein?, on motion of West, to graut a request to withdraw the credentials, it was agreed to. Yeas 30 nays 28.

Mr. Allis introduced a bill to. 'amend section 10 of the Indian appropriation bills, approved March 3rd-, 1875, in regard to the bonds of Indian agents. Beferred. It provides that no Indian agent shall be allowed to enter upon the discharge' of -bis office-until sureties on his bond shall have filed sworn statements, setting forth the nature and' kind of property owned by them, aud empowers the Secretary of the Interior to require any Indian agent now on duty to execute anew bond in accordance with the foregoing provision in any case that he thinks the interests of the service demand it..

The bill also requires each Indian agent to keep a book of itemized ex-penditures-and records of contracts and expenditures always, open to public inspection.

Mr. Windom presented a memorial of the citizens of Wisconsin, for an appropriation for the completion, of Fox river improvement and for the construction of a canal along the bank of the Wisconsin river, from Portage City, Wisconsin, to the Mississippi river. Referred.

MORNINQ SESSION. 5

Washington, Dec. 15.—A large number of memorials, asking an appointment of the commission to inquire into the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors were presented and referred to the Committee on Jinancs*.

Mr. Stevenson submitted a resolution calling upon the Secretary of the Treasury to transmit to the Seuate if not incompatible with the public interests, copies of all telegrams, letters and other informstion en his possession relating to the alleged resolutions of the internal revenue laws at St. Louis Chicago and Milwaukee.

Mr. Sherman opposed the resolution, and said to make this information public might defeat the .the ends of justise, and allow the escapo of some of the guilty-ones.

Mr. Stevenson had every confideuce in the Secretary of the Treasury, but thought the Senate sliould be infored as Senator from Ohio, Mr. Sherman, objected to it. He said Mr. Stevenson would not object to having it referred to the Committee ou Finance.

Mr. Morton said he would vote for a resolution leaving it discretionary with tbe Secretary of the Teasury to withhold such information as might impecxe the course of justice.

Mr. Stevenson said he had no desire to embarrass the Secretary of Treasury tpn

The Bepnl«tioa of oar Courts Above. Horace AVhite's Letter to the Chicago Tribune

The disclosures of rascality iu public life, of which the Americau pre39 has for along time beeu full, have not escaped notice, though I must set it down as au extraordinary mark of international homity, that I have not seen auy, except the mo3t distaut, allusion to them in any newspaper, either English or Continental. A more prolific source of disfavor arises from the growing distrust of our judicial proceediugs. I have been asked over again, why it is so difficult in America to punish a rascal or recover stolen property. "The hardest thing for our peoble to understand," said a Frankfort banker who has large interests in New York, "is,-why justice can not be depended on in your courts. I know of several cases at this moment, where large sacrifices are being made in the way of settlement with sharpers, rather than run a risk of long delay, heavy costs, and uncertain verdicts in American tribunals. It is this uneertaiuty, quite as much as the failure of recent speculative investments in America, that deters German capitalists from putting more money at risk on your side of the water, I suppose you treat us as we'll as you treat each other. In fact, I know you do but- you must reform your code, weed cut your technicalities, and find some way to get better juries.

Not being a lawyer'"Myself, I was unable to show this gentleman what a noble system of jurisprudence we have, trust that some Conversa-tios-Ivenge of the American Bar will come to the rescue. Meanwhile, that eminent hair-splitter Will be shocked to learn that, in the effete monarchy .where the above colloquy took place, a flaw in an indictment is of no advantage whatever to a criminal that the efforts of courts are directed to expediating rather than hindering the course of justice and that a man worth $100,000 is as liable to go to jail, if guilty as a tramp' without a- gros'chen in. his pocket.

How tbe foundatious of society would be shaken if this had happened in Chicago, and what public spirited efforts would be made to secure the poor man's pardon!

The cheapness of human life, the insecurity of property in onr large cities, the awkwardness and laxity of our jurisprudence and Civil Service, our exasperating tariff, and the blackguard character of a portion of onr Diplomatic and Consular repre* se.ntatiou, have dot merely lowered us in the'estimation ofTSurope they have deprived us of capital and population which we might otherwise have had, aud have neutralized, to a great.extent, .the political influence we have heretofore exercised.
