Clerk, postmaster, Savannah, Ga.; mber of aw masters, collectors of revenue registers of the land office, THz CaLpwELL Se,—In the Senate yes- terday, after our report closed, Mr. Thurman said not only was Mr. Caldwell now on trial, but every member of this Senate was on trial as te whether he would give an impartial Judg- ment on the matter before the Senate. He (Mr. Thurman) had read the evidence in this case very carefully. and In it was found the most damping proof of corruption. There was the roof that more than enough members of the lature had been bribed to make up the ma- ity of Mr. Caldwell. If a Senator could not turned out ior bril in a case where the proof was such as this, then the Senate might as well give up all its power over the acts of its members. The was convincing that this entleman bought his 4! into the Senate, and fhe question is whether the seats in this Sennte areto be made merchandise of. Pending dis- cussion the Senate went into executive session, and then adjourned.

The Attorney General is now waiting fee a reply from Mr. Ames, TxE PRESIDENT is doubtless delighted atthe prospect of soon taking a brief respite fromhis official labors, which, ever since the beginning ofthe session of Congress in December last, have been unusually onerous.

The story went that one of the appropriation bills contains a provision for the payment of 20 per cent, extra compensation ‘to employés at the Capital,” (meaning + Capitol,”’) and that the First Controller had decided all employes of the government at Washington entitled. Inquiry in official quarters, however, failed to establish the truth of the story, which was doubtiess set afloat by some wag. ComMIS81ONERS TO TREVIENNA EXPosition.

His reasons are that while + Mr. is mally eeable to him, polit- fealty the col ector nS trends are inimica’ to the interests of the Senator and the best in- terests of the republican in that state. If Mr. Casey would disconnect himself from what the Senator desi “the ring,” or corrupt element of the republican party in the state, he (Mr. West) wou have Ro objection te the confirmauion; out as ir. as not signified his intention of leaving that faction, the opposition is made. The democrats ami liberal republicans intend to bring before the Senate the report made by the Congressional committee sent to Louisiana, of which Mr. icofield was chairman, and upon which the President demanded Mr. Casey's resignation.

The Senate was like the courts, it could transact the most business with the fewest and simplest rules. The more Senators trust each other, the more they are on their individual responsibility, and the more expeditiously and bly the pub le business will be transacted. Mr. Wright said if this debate had satisfled him of anything, It was as to the propriety of referring this subject to the committee on rules. His motion was simply to take up the recola- tion, and in the of the rules a tong discussion had ensued on the merits of the mat- ter prepouea to be taken up. ir.

Mr. Conkling being entitled to the Goor, said free institutions were to remain ansallied en all interference the freedom of elec- tions must be stamped ont. Stuffing ballet boxes, employing repeaters, falsifying counts, forging returns, polluting elections in the je lature aml elsewhere with pare | or other appliances—all these must be put down by the strong hand. If the commitiee had proved that any of these things had been done in the case at bar, then the blow should fall, crash whom it may, more sinned against than sinning though he no imiividual considera tions should arrest the stroke. But the Senate must keep within the law. If the law is exceeded, then Senators themselves be- come usurpers and ministers of wrong. If the law is transcended, they become not the de- fenders but the enemies of order and public virtue. The Syracuse Tragedy. BRUTAL MURDER DEATH 6 THE ARSASSLN.
