He (Mr. 8.) mentioned this now aS a matter of record, that if this committee failed to investigate ‘anything, the country would know that the Senate had at least been warned, Mr. Anthony said the committee proposed by the Senator from Illinois (Mr. Trumbull) was a joint committee, and it it had been appointed that Senator would have had the pleasure of be- ing chairman of it. The resolation, under which this committee is appointed. was offered by him (Mr. A.) He (Mir. A.) denied that any Senator here was op) to investigation. Every Sena- tor who bad spoken bad declared in fayor of in- vestigation, and let any one look at the names on that list, and say, if he can, that any one of them is not pure, or that any one of them will not insist upon the fullest investigation. It was the first time that he bad ever heard of a com- mittee being objected to in this way. Mr. Tharman saul Mr. Anthony was only evading the question.

Mr. Thurman said this was a quibble. The Senators who first proposed this investigation ought to have a representation upon the commit- tee; and not one of those who voted for the res- olution of the Senator trom Ilincis is put on this committee. é Mr. Buckingbam said the Senator from Ili- nois had dectined to 60,011 the committee. Mr. Trumbull said that after the Senate had voted down the proposition offered by him, and bad decided to raise a committee and refer thing to it, and give it no power except such as the Senate in the future might see fit to give it; after this was done, be had in private conver- sation with Mr. Buckingham said that he would not go upon such a commitiee.
