Mr. Scheack said the class referred to by Mr. Donnelley were included in the bill. re oo ‘was then passed as reported by Mr. Sebene Mr. Wilson, (lowa.) from the Committee on Judiciary, reported back Senate bill providing a United States District and Uircuit Coart for the Stace of Nebraska, and it was passed. Mr. Holbord,(N. Y..) from the Gommittee on Public Expenditures, submitted « report, stating that while engaged in an mvestigation ordered by the House, the committee had taken some testimony which apparently inculpates ope or more members of the Senate, and the majority of the committee therefore recom- mend the adoption of the. following resola uon. Resolved, That this House, haying been in- formed by one of ite committees, that testimony bas been brought to the knowledge of said committee, which testimony age A in. culpates one or more Senators of the Unitea States, the House therefore directs that all such testimony be transmitted to the Senate for its information. Mr. Taber (N. Y.) said that, as one of the minority of the committee, he did not agree to the resolutien, nor did he think that the testimony inculpated any one. He would therefore ask for the reading of the evidence taken. Mir. Hulburd said the resolution just reported Was not based solely gpon the testimony taken within a day or two, bat upon what was taken by the committee of Jast Congress. Tre testt- mony recently taken amounted to nothing without the other, and if one portion was read he would ask to have all read, ana it would take some six Gays to wade through all of the testimony. Mr. Eldridge (Wis.) suggested that the Honse could not vote understandingly uniess the facts were fully stated. Some reason should be given for this extraordinary action on the part of the Honse. Mr. Hulburd said we had no objection to having the testimony read, but the majority of the committee had come to the conclasiou thatg it would be much more decorous in the House to pass the whole testimony over to the Semate, as ic affected a member of that body, and if they deem it otf moment, they could order an investigauon. The committee did not deem it advisable to give the testi- mony publicity, or to call undue attention te at. Mr Brooks (N.Y.) did not so much object to the reterence but to the Jlangnage used in the resolution. The objectionable words were “apparently inculpates.” The word al- pates is a harsh one and should not be lightly used. He was satisfied that the testimony should go to the Senate, but it appeared to him that other terms should be used. Mr. Broomall (Ps.) said he had no objection to the testimeny bemg read, but he wanted it understood that the Committee did not voinn- teer the tesumony, aud did mot think it id Cad boveged before it went to the Senate The mony ee: Mr. Bingham (Ohio) asked if the testimony ‘would not have to be made public in the Sen- ate before it was considered. Mr. Broomall said the question could be con- sidered with closed doors. The testimony was taken a series of weeks, and one portion ¢ould Ro: be read unless the other was. After some further discussion the resolution ‘Wis adopted. Mr. Hulburd then reperted a resolution de- ¢lsring it to be the sense of this House that H. A. Smythe, Collector ot the port ot New York. should be at once removed, and pending con- sideration the morning Rour expired. ‘The House then went into Committee of the ‘Waole on the bill for the relief of the people of th - South.
