CHICAGO, TUESDAY, MARCH 11, 1873. WASHINGTON. The Senato Minority to Obtain Larger Representation on the Committees, Action on the Patterson Case Indefinitely Postponed. Caldwell’s Case Pronounced the Most {Flagrant in American Politles. Proceedings in the Senate Yesterday. Speeial Dispateh to The Chicago Tribune, OALDWELL. 1 Wasnmvarox, March 10,—The Bonate to-day took up the Caldwell caso, and mado but littlo progress thereln, Two speeches from Morton and Caldwoll occupled tho entiro session. The one dolivered by Morton was an effort which, from ita strength, commanded tho nttention of tho Senato, It was notleenbls from the ontset that this caso was one whorein the facts wero to bo but hittle disputed, but which would be given over to tho lawyors for & controversy as to the 1aw points arlsing therofrom. Morton's srraign- mont of Caldwoll waa a powerful offort. Sena- tors gathored around him from the commonce- ment of his remarks, ard appoared to bo strongly impressed by his prosontation of the case. When ho finished Caldwell got the floor, and gont to tho Clerk nnfiouuh pragnmd l‘:’y Caleb Cushing, which ho asked should be read, Beforo the reading was finished, the Sonate wont into oxecutivo eossion. ' To-morrow Caldwell's romarks will bo finished, when othera of his frionds will domand a hentlng. Tho situstion in this case may bo summed up as follows: To got a sufficiont voto to oxpel Caldwell it was found nocessary to bring up a resolutlon doclar ing his eeat 'vacant. In accordance with Englieh law and = procodont, would re&ukn but a majority vote. To expol him would nocessitate two-thirds. 6 objeo~ tions aro to the form of tho roport bf tho Com- mitteo, The M‘F\xmnt 18 that the Constitution of the United Btatos, by Ermfln tho Benato tho powor of dooiding onthe qualifications of its ‘membors, has suporaedod the English atatute, which gives parliamentary body the right to oxpol its mombors. Under the gtatuto, ifit in sccopted os tho rulo of. action, 1t would bo nocossary to prove not only bribery of mombers of tho Legislature, but of 'a sufficlent numbor thereof to overcome the actual msfinruy given for tho person elooted. Caldwoll shows that he had a cloar majority of twonty-five, and that, s0 far as the ovidence is concorned, only one-fitth of that number are shown to havo beon influoncod by money con- sideration, Beveral Demacrats havo boon cap- tured by this prosentation of the case, and will Fmbnb): vote ngniml the committeo's report on his ground. It is thought that it will requiro two days more to dispoo of this case, and that Coldwell will escapo through tho technicalition above mentioned. NOT_CONBULTED. Tho position of United Btatos Marshsll in North Carolina was tondored to Bob Douflu, tho late Privato Secretary of the Prosident, without any consultation with the members of tho delogation of that State. Considerabls feel~ ing is manifested at the appointment on this es- al ground. No effort will be made, however, resiat the confirmation in the Benate on th port of the North Caroline Senators. - THE BENATE COMAMITTEE. The Republican Sonate Caucus met agan this avaning, principally to delibarato on and Taado by Hio Demodrats 0. the. oreer toer Tha Iatter bo allowed two assignmonts on the impor- tant committoes, instead of the one al- lotted _horotoforo. Boforo proceoding to tho discussion of this quostion, =& {romlnum Bonator mado tho oint hat tho sossion might be considerably shortened %( refusing to take up the caso of Patterson, of [ew Hudnruhim, who bad now ({:uund beyond the jurisdiction of the body, and which, after all, involved simply & quostion of facts ‘of im- portance to himsol?, but not to the public gan- erally, so long a5 ho was not acting in an ofi'!; al capacity. After somo dobate, it was docided that it waa not worth while to take any actlon on this metter, and go it was postponod indofinitely. As 1o thoroquestof tho Demograts, afterasomowhat exciting time, it was concluded that, in view of tho fact that they roprosonted noarly one-third of tho Senate, they ware entitled to the repro- sentation demanded. Aomn}!nrfily, Benator Oas- sorly, the writor of the ori; note, was noti- fied that the requost would be complied with, and through him the Domocrats wore requesto to send in thonamos of thelr candidates. This evening the Democrats held & caucus.at Sena- tor Onseerly's house, and at alato hour are en- gaged in preparing their list of namos to be gub- mittdd to the Ropublican caucus to-morrow. TOUTWELL. y It appears that the opponenta of Becretary Boutwell, en masss, are quite nctivo, and rather unscrupulous. Tho Becretary received a din- Emh to-dny from Boston stating that o report ad boen circulated to the effeot that ho had withdrawn a8 a candidato for Senator. Gen. Butlor, who loft for Massachuaoctts Baturday, telographa that this story is reported to_have been put in circulation by tho friends of Dawen far the pur(puao of taking votes away from Bout- well. It is undorstood here that Butler will manage tho contost to-morrow for Boutwell. TERRITORIAL OFFICES. The Prosident has indicated his intontion of hereafter making all n;Eulntmuncu to positions in the Torritorios from tho residents thoroof, in- stead of selecting them from tho broken down politiciana of the kastern States. THE SALARY QUESTION. It is but justica to those men who, like Bena~ tors Trumbull, Bayard, and Representive Banks, voted for the inorcased salary Eiu, to state their side of tho q&aatiun‘ They soy thoir support was given to this measure simply to equalize the compensation account. Thus, for instance, tho membors of both Houses from Orogon got $6,~ 492 for the session on scoount of mileage. Those from Nevada got £8,500; from Toxas, $3,000; from Louisiana, 83,600; from Arksneas, $2,400 ; from Kauasa and Nobraska, 82 100, ot~ willatsuding (Lo nulurlons fact thal eithor these membors had railroad passos all tho way or elas Fumd the entiro session in Wnnhlni(ton. The neraase of Salary bill abolishes miloage, and undor this provision Sonator Kelley will be ro quired to pay 81,492 into the Troasury instead of receiving §6,492 therofrom. POSTMISTRESS VAN LEW, A dotormination is manifestod fn certain quartera to rosist the confirmation of Miss Eliza« beth Van Low, who was to-day reappointod to the poultlonoflsautmmreu atRichmond, Va. The opposition comes from the politicians, who ag- sort that the lady rendored mo sorvices in the Iate political campaign which entitlo her to this appointment, the most lucrative of all tho Fed- oral oftices in the Btate. On the other hand, tho Post-Offico Departmont states that the lady Lhias boen eflicient in tho discharge of hior duties, and under tho civil servico rules is entitled to appreciation on that score.

The Benate, after its excoutive session, took up the Caldwell caso. Mr. MORTON, aftor preliminary romarks, al- Iuded to the goneral donial of Mr. Onldwell {hat he had bribed any member of tho Kansas Legis- Inturo to vote for him, and thon proceeded 1o argue that tho chargo that Oaldwell was elocted by tho uso of money was sustained by the tostimony. —He quoted parliamon- l&? law to show st bribery is nof only an Infringement of the parliamentar: ¥rivilogo, but whon a single cloctor is provonte rom exeroieing his xight by ‘external violence, tho election is void, without reference to the number of votes. This is indispenaable to tho frosdom of elections, The man who would pur- chiase one yote would &mxohu:o nll, and his cor- rupt Influenco would be limited only by the monns of corruption. The Sonate had a right to roteot itsolf against n oriminal, although tho Il’.ugxam\m electing him might ba indifferent on the subject, Tho guwu 10 oxpel a momber was nocossary to onablo the Houss to perform ita high functions, and was incidentsl to the protection of tho Btato. In farthor argumont, Mr. Morton said that llis was tho ‘most flagraut cass of bribory in English or Ameri- can politics ; and he then” oxamined tho testi- mony in the cage to show such was the fact, and that, just bofore Oaldwell's eloctian, the talk of corruption was agcommon and froo in Topaks as the markets or the weather, 3 Mr, CALDWELL saidhe had proparad a stato- mont, which, his voice being affectod by cold, he dosirod ehould be xead at tho Soorotary's desk. The Secretary thon read tho statemont, which wag in the natura of a legal argumont. Thoro was no protonse that his credentinls did not speak the truth. It wasan absolute fact that the majority of tho Kansas Logislaturo did voto for him, while thore was no proof that thero was lng' resiraint in the promiscs, The eloction of & Henator is the not of a Ktate in ita sovercign capacity, with which the Scnato cannot interfere. Numorgus precedonts are quoted in support of this proposition, The Constitution mukes the Henato the ole judge of tho quallilcations and roturns of its own mombers, but it must be gov- erned by writton law, Mr, Oaldwoll insists that the Heuato must bo governed by tho law as it oxisted at tho timo of the oloction. Before the ronding was nom}lletcd, on motion of Mr. CAM- ERON, tho Benate went into exeoutive ossion, and atferwards Adjournod. " Utah Ktems.

Butif tho rogulation of railways, which all sgreo to bo necessary, cannot be accomplishod l}J‘v lefilalnllml, Low can it bo accomplished ? w hias it boon_accomplished elaowhero? It has beon accomplishied by what 8 known ns tho Btato ownorship of railways. But what is this Btato ownorship of railways | Tho general iden, and I think it {a tho idea” which porvades tho minds of gentlomon who como up hora day aftor day, is that the Govornment is to own railroada sud to run thom as it docs tho postal systom; that it ia to assumo evory railroad in the” coun- try, largo or emall; that; in o word, it is to go into the railrond business in fulltilt, In othor ‘words, the subject of Stato awuomhlr of rail- ronds fa not at all understood. Pooplo tall vory loarnadly sbout it, without any knowledgo of it. 8o faras I know, no government over has, and I vonturo the opinion {lmt no government over will, own all tho railroads subjeot to it ju- risdiction, . In the first yl)lnco, it I8 impracticablo; in the second place, it 1a both unneceuary und unadvino- blo. Lot me refor to the ]!utfillu system, which is the one most commonly disoussed. Tho es- songo of tho Bolgian systom is found, not in an oxlusive stato of ownerabip, but in competitiony arising from & mixed dwnorship, part public and part private, The Bolgian system, thoreforo, goos back to' firat principlos; compotition playd o far more hn)iurtnn?. part in that ‘system than in our own, The Btato railroads and tho piivate railronds work incosaantly sido by sido. "he ro- sult -is that tho ono keops tho other pure, snd up or down to tho mark, just as you chooso to putit. Thoy arc now discussing in Do]glum tho oxpedioncy of the State unugfln% oll tho rail- roads. Iventure the opinion that if this is done, they will find that thoy have destroyed that to which _hithorto they haye owed their success. Thoy will bave eliminated that oloment of competition which it should At 2 mase moet- | bo their groat aim fealously to. protorve. Tor the vory essenceof tiio syatomof Stato mane nagoment lies, not in the ownorship of all tho radlroads by the Government, but in the control and regulation of the wholo, through tho owner- ship and managowent of a part. Upon this fundamental principle I feol that I canuot place too strong an emphasis, In theso fow words are included the whole theory of Biato owner- ship, which I am instructed to urge upon you, A.ns with this statement I come back to my original proposition, and we can now formulato arale. The sdmitted general principle is that tho Government should have no connection with industrinl undertakings. If I have ostablished au exception to that rule, a8 regards some degrac of suporvision and regulation to bo exercissd in the case of railronds, then, the exception being concedod, wemust also add that in this caso the least dogree of interfercnce shall bo exercised which ehall be enflicient to securo tho desired rosult. o this part of the odiscussion I shall heroafter racur. . TITR ODY OF CORKUITION. But the momont it is proposed that the Gov- ernment aball own and operate any part of the railroad systom, we are met at the throshold with the ory of corruption, Our oé) onents ex- claim, “*Soo what our Governmont buresus aret You. will introduce into our politics & larger ole- ment of spolls than wo oven now have. Tho Btate Government, instead of ownln% the rail- rond, will bo but a stopping-stone to tho posses- sion of the rond.” Idonot wish to depreciate this dangor. The “spoils” system, as it now exista in our politics, iy d%“’“d‘“fi and pornicious enough, and 1 should bo loth to do anything cal culated to increnso it, But, would this moxsure increnso it? Let ua aco. THE PRESENT SYSTEM THE MOST CORRUPTING. 1 do not hemitato to maintain that all of the dovices for bitroducing corruption into politics and the Government which could emanato fram the unconsoious ingenuity of tho most stupid Iogielator, not one could be found squal to tho oxisting syatem of railroad supervision and rog- ulation. {hmn what does that systom dopond ? Tt depends upon this, that ono man is to rogu- Iate and supervise tho property of another. Is it consistont with ideas of common sengo, is it within tho bounds of renson, to supposo that tho man who own will not do his bost to control tha man who_rogulates ? We know porfectly wel! how rapidly the movemont in thia direction ia now going on, Tho sway of the railroad men and the lobbyist is notorious in half tho Legislu- tures of tho country. Aud why aroe thoy thero Thoy are thoro bocauso your false system of log- islation hLas effected a soparation botween tha ownership of a thing and 1ts regulation, and ho who owns the thing knows Le must also own tho Legislature which rogulates tho thing., And just 80 long 88 you pursuo this false sytem un- der corract principlos,—just 8o long a8 you do- ceivo yoursolyes with' tho ides that you are not meddling all tho while that you aro doing your bost to roduco meddling to a systom,—just o long a8 you makooneman owna thing and empower anothor to regulate the valuo out of it, just 8o long legislative venality and_political corruption il tneronsa, . And yot tho tendency in this direction is no losa rapid than it is alarm- ing. Al over tho country,—moro elsowhera than in’Massachusetts,—we sonLegmlnlmfla year by yoor insensibly and, 08 a mattor of courso, assuming the functions of irresponsible boards of general railrond directors. And by tho term irresponsibloI mean not amenablo to that cau- tion which is inseparablo from ownorship. In .the Btatoof Ilinois this x‘mumnn i avowedly assumod. Wo beliove that it muat rosult,—that it oaunot but result in a conflict of interest, and ingrave publlo snd privato disaster that it will sosult 10 abuses and scandals and corrup- tions in comparigon with which those which hove hitherto startlod and shocked us will be but as the dust in the balance, - TIE OREDIT MOBILIER EXAMPLE. But it would be a mero waste of time to cite examples of what I have boon assorting from the recont history of Btato logislation. They are only too notorious,—not, perhaps, in Massachu- Betfs, but not far from hor borders. Let us go at onco to high places ;lot us glanco at that - tional scandal and disgrace, which is now uppor- most in all miuds, Let us goo what the princi Yln of supervision snd regulation, unaccompanied by ownership, loads to at Washington. Who ownu tho Pacific Railroad? It was not built by Wost Poiut enginoars,—it was indeod paid for out of tho Natioual Troasury, but not directly,— 1t ia not ownod by the Unitod Statos, No l—if it was, tho road would have beon built much bet- ter, and for halt itscost. Astho country has good cuuse to Lnow, it was built by an institu- tion known as tho Credit Mobilior. " I'he Oradit Mobilior owned tho property, but Congross ro- served & power to suporvise and rogulato it. ‘What waa the result? ills wero introduced into Uongross to rogulate the rates of transportation over the line, nnd to thess, those who owned it woro nut\lrul(lly opposed, What did thoy do about it? Thoy did not bribo—oh no!—but they pro- coeded to “place the stock whero it would do tho most good,” for thoy ** wanted more friends in Oongross.” The rocord shows whethor or no they got thom. Thoso who liad proposod to rar- ulate chargos over the Paciflo Road did not pros- por thoreafter in publio Jifo, And all thiu rosult- 6d bocause tho Govornment would not own and would meddle. They would bring two grent principlos into contliet,—the principle of ownor- ship in one man, with the duty of control In an- othor; and, a8 it was in this case, o in tho lon: run willit bo in all others, timo without end. The mau who owns will possess himsolf of tha man who rogulates, THE ANALOGIES, But lot us take o fow analogous casos—oascs in which tho Goverumont owns, and cayes in
