Vincinra’s RATIFICATION oF THE Turn TEENTH AMENDMENT.—The thirteenth amend- ment to the Constitution was ratified February, 9th, 1865, by what was known as the Plerpoint legislature in Virginia according to a footnote on page 60 of the code of Virginia, edition of 1873. In Tue Stan yesterday a paragraph was printed calling attention to what appeared @ misstatement in the new edition of the U. S. Constitution, issued by the Senate, which gave this date as the ratification by Virginia. As the surrender at Appomattox was hot until two months later t appeared to bean error, but itis remembered that the Plerpoint legis: Inture ‘came Into. Virginia after Virginia se- ceded and was established at Alexandria. It Was this legislature which on February 9,1365, rutifled the thirteenth amendment, as stated above.

OPEN EXECUTIVE SESSIONS. ee SENATOR LOGAN'S SPEECH ———— HOUSE COMMITTEE REPORTS. — The Presidential Count Bill, Etc. ——— The Senate. Mr. Miller presented a memorial of the Sara- toga Monument association. The memorial recites that the monument has been completed and the assoctation desires to have it publicly dedicated during the coming autumn, and asks an appropriation in ald of that object. The petition was appropriately referred. MR. LOGAN ON OPEN EXECUTIVE SESSIONS. Mr. Logan then took the floor in support of the movement for open executive sessions. He preferred his own resolution, be said, because {t provided broadly for open sessions on all inatters of nomination and confirmation. Without going into the history of secret. ses- sions, Mr. Logan would simply premise by say- ing that there was not now, aud never was, any neeessity for secret sessions of the Senate. He read from Story’s Commentaries on the Constitution a strong disapproval of secrecy as to public business and a statement that it was notin accord with the spiritot the Coustitu- tion, Mr. Logan could not understand what there was about the character of any man nominated for public office that should require his case to be considered in secret. ‘The secrecy that might have been necessary in the early years of the republic found no basis in neces- sity nor propriety now. The House ot Repre- sentatives had first opened ils proceedings to the public_because it directly. . the theory that it more properly represented the states. Senators, however, were responsi- ble to the people too, and should let the people know what they were doing. ME. LOGAN WANTS TO HEAR FROM THE OTHER SIDE. Mr. Logan hoped the Senators who favored Secret sessions would be heard from in this debate. The talking should not be all on one side in the discussion. ‘These who believed in secrecy should openly state their grounds for that belief, He (Mr. Logan) would like to hear those grounds, Let the doors be opened and let “Senatorial courtesy” give place to fair and open consideration. ‘The traducer of character and the condoner of bad records would both go down before the open consideration of noml- nations. ‘The treacherous stilleto would give place to open and manly wariare,the man who, with a crooked record, wanted public office, would then have to seek other channels than the Senate, In a people's government, why should not the people know the reasons for our consent, which meant the peoples respect, to a nomination? Secret sessions were demoralizing. Was there one Senator who would hesitate to frankly tell the truth toa man, if he was opposed to him? He (Mr. Logan) ‘had known cases in which men believed they would be confirmed, and had good grounds for their belief, yet were rejected. He (Mr. Logan) would not say that Senators had told such men un- truths. THE SENATE SECRETS GET OUT SOME WAY. The secrets of executive sesstons were let out in soma, way, Mr. Logan said, He would not say how correctly. Was there ever an executive session to consider an important. matter from Which something had not leaked out? He ac- quittgd the ollicers ot the Senate of any tault in Unig mater. He did not believe they let the ts pat. Still, the newspapers were full of ments of things that happened or were iid toaappen in executive sessions. If they id not make correct statements ‘they pro- todo so, If the Senate would not open “tS doors was. {not encouraging deception on thé part of the hewspapers? Was it not better tohave the country know exactly what the Senate was doing? The newspaper men did the they could. ‘They got the “secrets” from somebody—Mr. Logan did not know from whom—probably from the spittoons or the desks of the Senate chamber—of course not from any Senator, Were not Senators encour aging newspaper men to state things that were not true? THE SENATE WAS DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE, for any incorrect statements as to secret ses sions. If the doors were opened the speeches in executive sessions would be shorter; the pro- ceedings more orderly and the debates of a bet- ter and more elevated character. As to the publicity of votes, Mr. Logan was perfectly wil- ing thet his constituents and everybody else should know how he voted in executive ses. sion, and Jf he dared he would tell every day whut bis vote was, but he never did. THE POWER OF PUBLIC OPINION was raising on this suWject, he said, The people felt that they must and should know what Senators were doing. Everywhere in this coun- try the principle of growth was recognized ex- cept in the United States Senate. ‘That princl- ple was coming to be recognized every- Where throughoat the world." The princi ple of Mberty “was spreading. Take the case of Ireland—so long down trodaen and trampled under foot.

The important measure before the House committee on Pacific railroads now is the prop- osition to amend the Thurman sinking fund act so as to make it more stringent upon the railroads and to better secure the zovernment interest. The bill before the committee is that which Was introduced by Mr. Thomson and passed the House last session, anid was reintron luced by Mr. Dunn this session. This bill treats the railroads very firmly, and guards the g: ernment rights. “It is understood that the com- mittee will not report the bill as introduced, but will probably recommend the passaze of & substitute, which meets with the approval of the railroads, extending the time for the pay- ent of the’ debt to the goverument, and ac- pting the proposition to Include the unalded branch roads within the provisions of the act. The committee held a meeting to-day, but took no action upon the matter, as the substitute was not quite ready to be ‘submitted to the whole committee. Sees An Interesting Executive Session.
