The first of thaso threo casos is known ag tho ** Now Orleans Slaughtér Houso Case.” “The Loglslaturo of Louisidng; i 1604, chartered on organization known ds tho ¥ Snighter Houso Company,” and conforred upon it the exclusivd iight of pros viding a1l landing placos for live stock coming to Now Orloans, and nlso givo. it the oxclusivo right of building and tho furnishing, of all buildings wheroin tho killing of animals for food should bo allowed, Tho corporation was roquired to provide, under ponally, sufiiciont lnndlug-room and adoquato quariers for tho slaughtor of all animals roquired for food in tho city. Tho butchers of Now Orloans olaim this act of tho Logislature {6 an exclusive_priviloge, ahd that tho reatraint on thom is a violation o tho section of tho Constitution citod above, which is ae follows: = | i No Biato shall make or enforco any law whichi shall abridge tho privileges or Immunities of citizens of , k¢ United Btates, nor shall any 8iatt deprivoany person of 1ifo, liborty, or property, without duo process of 1aw, nor deny to ln{hpemn ‘within ita Jurisdiction tlio equal protection of tho Inws, Anothor case, alsoinvolving the_ construction of that portion of tho soctlon above quoted, which has beon srgued, is that of Bartemier ngainat the Btato of Tows.

Tho funds woro ncccaa&r&’. in order. to pny the incroase of salaries provided by Congreys, which amount to noarly $2,000,000. BENATOR BOUTWELL. S Mr. Boutwell received the nows of his elootion to the Benate by the Legistuturs of “AMaskachu- sotts with great sang frold, being engragod at the timo in hearing an argument by on attornoy in o case of importance” Ho continued to listen to tho case, and porformod his usual routine du- tios. Ho was congratulated by the Presidont, Trenaurer Bpinner, soveral membors of the Cab- inot, and by his atlached friond, Charles Sum- ner, whao visited tho Treasury for that purposo. Mr, Boutwell is this evening engaged In arrang- ing his business, and will to-morrow tender his roslgnation as Bocretary of tho Treasury. On Friday, if hia credentials arrlve, he will be sworn in, and take his seat a8 Bonator for six years. ASSISTANT SECRETARY RIOIALDSON. Thero is no longer auy doubt that .Tllflgu Rich- ardson, the Asslatant Bocrotary, will bo pro- moted to tho Eacmlnrysld%; and that his name willbe sent to tho Sonate befora the adjourn- mont, which will probably take placo somo timo next woek. THE OALDWELL OASE. ki As the Oaldwell debato progressos, it bocomes moro and more evidont that Morton and tho ma- Jjority of the Committec on Priviloges and Elec- tions, made a mistake, and reported a resolu- tion declaring Caldwell's eloction to havo beon illegal instoad of recommending expulsion, if, inded, they were mot - tho victims of & trick, gracuuud by somo of the minority of the Committeo, ifl-bocoming s}Sona- tor. In the debate wore disclosed two things: Tirat, that many Sonators who beliove Caldwoll fin.\lfiy, and would vote to expol him, do not be- love that tho Sonato haa s right to go bohind his certificato of elaction and oxamine the mo- tives that influencod membors of tho Logisla~ ture In voting for him, ’l‘hcflhom that tho only questions the Bonate oan ask are, whether tho body choosing tho Bonator was tho logal Legisla- ture of tho Btate,or whether tho logal forms wero complied with, If both of theso questions aro answored in the afiirmative, then the Sena- tor who received a mnjority ‘of the voles was only and legally elocted.” No mattor what may Lave boen the characler of tho motives that influonced the membors in their votes, the Unitod Btates Sonate, thoy aay, can not try the members of tho Legislature and review their action. There is no power in the land that can sot asido that action. It would bo justas propor to say that o lnw pasued by the Legialature, and sigued by the Governor, could be doclared vold, because ~ some of the members who voted for it were bribed to do so. In elther case, these Sonators ssy, the Logis- laturo can punish its membors - for To- ceiving bribes, and the Benate, without passing on tho validity of the clection of a Sonator may proteot itsolt by axgellins aman_who has obtained his oloction by bribory, The other thing disolosed by tho dobate to-dsy was, that some mombers of the Committee, who are now most strenuously opposing the resolution on account of ita form, favored the presontation of it bofore it was reported to the Bonate, Logan, who 18 underatood to have aasisted in the prepa- ration of the majority report, though ho did not sign it, labored through a long speoch this af- toirooh, it oauld hardly bo called an argament, —in which he took up the principal witnossos agninst Caldwell, ono aftor tho other, and attemptod to turow discredit on their tes- timony, Io, as well as Cnrpontor, in his spoach, yestordny, iusisted that no evidence thiit would not bo admitted in a court of *unllco ought to have any weight in this case. Tho fal- Iacy of this position lios in tho fact that, from 6 naturo of tho case, thero are genorally but W0 Witnossos to an sct of bribory, the man who offors or pays tho bribe, aud the one who accopts it; and thoman who will bo guilty of elthor of theso orimes will not hosituto to forget rll sbout it when called upou the witnens stand, or else ab- solutely dony it. That was exactly what they did in this case. Large sums of money wero drawn by Cnldwoll and his frionds, the disposltion of which thoy did not eatisfactorily explain. - Witnossos sworo that thoy had beon told by the porsons who woro suspooted of paying it to members of tho Logialature, or by o membors who wero roported to havo vecolved it, that tho funds wore spout in corrupting members, When thoso por- #ona wore called, of courso thoy donied the re- ports, aud their doniels are takon by such mon a4.Carponter and Logan to be a sufllclent ans- wor to o whole chiain of circumstantial evidenve, supported by admissions mado by the guilt Eerunnn thomaolvos, soon after the olection al 'opeka, Logan would not. bolleve any witness ko sworo againat_Oaldwoll, but he dld bollove T, J, Anderson, and held hirg yp a3 » model of 13, 1873, truth, whon the fact Is that thic swholo commit- teo, Logan with tho reot of thom, favored pats ting into tho report & parngraph, doclaring it to bo their_boliof that Anderson.porjured himeolf from the boginning o tho “end of his tostimony.

UALDWELL. ’ Tho Senato resumed tho considoration ofusth Caldwoll caso. 8 Mr. CONKLING &aid Lo could find no instance in which the British Parliament, sntorior to statute and auterior to the order of tho House of Commous, which becamo a statuto, annulled ab initio an election because of bribory by the candidato of & partioular person. Mr. LOGAN arguod that the olection of Sena- tor Caldwoll was an nct of the Logislature, bo- hind which the Senate as decided by the Courts could not go, but on attompt was made to vi- tinto tho oloction on tha ground of a single act of bribery. Under what rulo or authority was this to be done—tho statutes of England, which havo no binding force upon us? He called upon tho Benator from Indisnn to produco one case parallel to that now beforo them. Mr. MOR'I'ON, in alindivg to Mr, Logan's course on tho Committoo on Priviloges and Elections, said ho was not propared to hear his Ppresont argument, Mr, LOGAN roplied that ho did not desire to dotail the discussion beforo the Committes, but it was enough for the Sonato to Jnow that he now dissonted from the roport mado by tho Com- mitteo in this caso, aud on exnmination ho thought bis_formor viows were incorrect. Ho thon proceeded to show that from the tostimony tho Benate would not bo warranted in finding Caldwell guilty of any act of bribery, and that ovory witness on which tho Senator from In- diann rolied was contradicted by fonr or fivo witnesees of better roputation. While Mr. Logan was quoting the testimony of Thomas J. Audorson against that of Sydney Clarke, Mr, MORTON interrupted him by asking whethor he did not know it was thought in tho Commit- teo that Andorsoun's testimony was a perjury throughout. # Mr. LOGAN reniarked this was a most singu- lar way of prosccuting man in order to ruin him, Aundorsou’s tosts mony was that of a man, and he bore himsolf moro like a man thau thoso wha woro proscouting Caldwell. As_much could not bo said of tho testimony of Byduey Clarke, There was no witness to contradict An- derson, but the witness on” whom the Senator from Indiana leaned was contradioted, and hig tostnony impoaclod by compotout witnosics. Mr. SYOCKTON argtied thero was no question hore over which tho Senate lad control, Tho examination of individunl motives was violative of tha Constitution, and tho most dangerous dootrine over introduced. Tha Heunto lnd no rl_u}lt to inquire boyond tho Constitutional pro- vislon, M. MORTON roplied to tho legal part of tho argumont, maiutaining that the power to inquiro into tho election enrriod with it the right to on- guirn into everything counccted with it, T'he onato has power to proteot iteelf from a Senator olgoted by bribory, Dobate on the ¢ase will be rosumed to-morrow. PACIFIC TAILIOADS, On motion of M, CONKLING, it was resolved that the Committeo on Judleinry bo instructed to inquire and roport at tho Decembor sossion of the Benute whother the Union Tacitlo Itall- road Company, or any Company authorized to build a branch road to conneoct therowith, or any aasignco of such Company, will bo ontltled to Iands or bonds for any road which such Com- Euny may horesftor construct, and that until sald Somunitice shull repork tho' Exeoutivo ofiicors NUMBER 206. of tho Governmont ars requested to insuo no Dbonds or patent cartlticates, that may be claimed for ronds constructed aud roportod after this date, "'ha Bonalo went into Txocutivo sossion, and aftorwards Adjourned, THE MODOCS.
