Me(Mr. J.) bad men- tioned thie to brs colleague, and he had au- thorized bim to say that there was not oue word ef truvhintt. Wale Secretary he had transterred $700,000 from New York to Wash- ington to meet the necessities of the Govern- Ment, and $~W0,000 from Arkansas to New Ur- leans, where every cent of it was disbursed by the Government before the rebellion broke out Asto bis opinions thatthe war might have averted these opinions were shared by bun- dred and thousands of my fellow-citizens, and by thousands in the Senator's own State, (Michigan ) Hie colleague may have enter- tained the opinion that the Government of Maryland in bis recent form was not repabli- cau, controlled as it was by less than one- fourth of its pepalation. and in this Opinion he®Mr. J.) fully concurred. Mr. Howard was not talking about Mary- land politics, but hid spoken of the report in the newspapers of the speech of the applicant, ip which he said that the present Senate was | endeavoring to keep the Union dissolved. and be thought this was very unkind of the ap- plieant. He thought that no man who enter- tained the view tbat the war was Prosecuted by the Government for the disruption of the Union conld be styled a foyai man. Mr. Jobnson knew pothingabout the speech, but be did know thatin the letter of accept- ance of his colleague nothing but devotion to the Union had been expressed, and he woald how ask the clerk to read the letter. The letter of acceptance wus then read from the clerk's desk. Mr Nye suid it was claimed by loyal Mary- janders, men who had fought the baitles of the | nion, and who bad always been true, that the Legislature which had sent this Senator bere was elected by 4 palpable violation of the laws of Maryland existing at the time of the election; that the laws excluding rebels trom the tran_ eb were, disregarded, a men who had worl Yhe rebel uniform; in fact. all who chose, permitted to vote. This thing shonla be in- quired into by the Judiciary Committee. He (Mr N.) bad ‘been intormed of another thing. it was stated that this gentleman, in his letter of resignation from the Cabine: of Mr. Buch- “DAD, assigned as 4 reasou that be was op- posed to reinforcing Fort Sumter, and denied the right of coercion.
