TURPIE OASE IN THE “SENATE. ee Mr. Chandler Criticizes the Report. oo TARIFF DISCUSSION IN THE HOUSE. —-__ Mr. Butterworth’s Protection Argument —— ‘The Senate. On motion of Mr. Morrili the committee on ‘fnance was authorized to sit during the sessions Of the Senate, to take testimony, collect informa ton, and employ a stenographer. BILLS REPORTED. Among the bills reported from committees and Placed on the calendar were the following: Senate bill granting the use of certain lands to the city Of St. Augustine, Fla, for a public park. House Dill to authorize the construction of a bridge Across the ‘Tennessee River at Knoxville, Tenn. ‘To provide for two additional associate justices of the Supreme Court of Dakota, ‘THE CASE OF SENATOR TURPIE The report of the committee on privileges and elections in the matter of Senator Turple was taken up, the question being on discharging the committee from further consideration of the me- Morials and remonstrances on the subject, Mr. Chandler criticized one of the positions taken by the committee (that it could not inguire into the legality of the legislature by which a Senator was elected), and dissented from It as being too broad. "The offer of proof had deen that the senate of Indiana had wrongfully, and for the purpose of having a majority to elect Mr. Turple, unseated two niembers of that body Who had béen duly elected, and given their seats to two men who had not’ been duly elected. He concurred In the proposition as a geveral and ordi- Rary proposition, but he thought it was gulng too far to exolude such a special case as that Involved in Us matter, where it might be made to appear that a state legislature, duly organized, had pro. ceeded, as a preliminary to the election of a United States Senator, and in order to get a wrongtul and fictitious majority, to eject members lawfully entl- Ued to their seats dhd to put others in their places. Such a rule (he thought) might work evil result in the future, He thought that the committee had announced that proposition too broadiy. ‘There inight be cases where the Senate of the’ United States ought to inquire into the legality of such a transaction as Was alleged here, He desired, therefore, to place on record his dissent from thé doctrine thus extremely stated. MR. HOAR DEFENDS THE COMMITTEE. Mr. Hoar defended the action of the committee on privileges and elections. The suggestion pre- sented by the Senator from New Hampshire, he said, had been the subject of very grave and anx- tous'reflection on the part ofthe majority ot that committee. ‘The theory of the Government was one of checks und balances. Certain duties, certain judgments, certain ascertainments of facts were” assigned (under the Constitution and laws) to certain tribunals; and every tribunal ‘Was bound to take as conclusive, tue adjudication of every other tribunal within its sphere, He re- ferred io the “wretched slander” witch assigned a3 the motive of President Grant in appoinung Justices Bradley and Strong to the Supreme Court, the idea that they might reverse the judgment ot that court in ‘the “legal tender controversy. ‘There never had been, he = _sald, a viler slander coming up from the stump. He did not suppose that any intelligent man ‘now be- Heved that there was any motive whatever for the appointments except the conspicuous excellence Of those two gentlemen, One of them had since Tetired at the end of a long service, a model of the Judicial character; and the other was, by the gen- eral confession of” Veneh and bar, the foremost Jurist of the country, if not of the ‘world, ‘Mr. Teller also defended the position of the com- mittee on privileges and elections, and, after fur- ther discussion (participated in by ‘Senators Biatr, Hoar and Chandler, the committee was discharged from the further consideration of the subject. NEW STATES. On motion of Mr. Stewart, the bill for the ad- mission of Washington Territory a3 a state was made a special order for Thursday of next week, and subsequently (on motion of Mr. Platt) the bills for the udimission of North Dakota and Montana, were also mace special orders for the Same day—Mr. Platt remarking Ubat all three bills inight be disposed of on that day. PUBLIC BUILDINGS. House bills appropriating $100,000 for a public Duliding at Columbus, Ga, and increasing the mit of cost for the public building at Charleston, S.C, to $300,000, were taken from the calendar and passed. On motion of Mr. Dolph, the Dill to provide for fortifications and ‘other ‘seacoast defenses was made a special order two weeks trom Monday next. ‘The Speaker appointed Mr. Henderson, of Iowa, Clements, of Georgia, and Butterworth, of Ohio, as aconference committee on the Northwestern ‘exposition bill. On motion of Mr. Shively (Ind,) the Senate bill was passed granting a right of way through the Coeur Alene Indian reservation to the Washing- ton aud Idaho Kallroad Co, MR. BUTTERWORTH ON THE TARIFF QUESTION. ‘The House then went into commitiee of the whole, Mr. Springer (Ill) in the chair, on the tariff Dill, and was addressed by Mr. Butterworth, of Obio, “He said that in tmmediate results and far Teaching consequences the pending Dill dwarfed all other measures before the House, No other measure reached to every hearthstone tn the Re- public as did tue Mills bill. Every gentleman on the floor desired to promote the good of “tne coun. try, to secure that kind of prosperity that reached to dvery home. ‘The issue between the majority and minority Was not whether the tariff needed re- vising or not. “Whether the rate of duty linposed on this articie or that was too high, was not the Mne on which they divided. Whether a lower rate of duty, $0 Tar a8 any special schedule was con- would yield sufficient revenue and sum- lent protection to American industry was not the point on which they were in antagonism, ‘THE LINE ON WHICH THEY WERE DIVIDED ‘Was on the economic principle itself. Gentiemen on the other side had asserted time and again, and persistently, that to levy a tartff, except for Fevenue for the purpose of, conducting the affatrs Of the Government, economically administered, Was unconstitutional, unwise, unjust, and a robbery of the people.’ The two parues’ divided, novas to the wisdom Of revising the tariff, but as to whether that revision should be 30 conducted as to destroy the system itself. ‘The potnt of con- test was upon the policy itself, and uot upon the manner of application. IT WAS MERE JUGGLING to say that a tariff for revenue would afford sum- ctent protection, That was not the question, but Would the tariff be arranged with reference to the dictates of the protective system. He greatly mis- apprehended the people of the country if they would be mislead into the belief that the contest between the majority and minority related to. the manner of revision only. The majority assaulted the system and had sworn to destroy it, and if 1t ‘Was not destroyed 1t would not be the fault of the majority, but the fault of the patriotic people of Pee coanlty. The passage of the, Milla ll void ‘a direct condemnation protective policy. It indicated to the country that whether the tariff Was perfect or not the deinocratic party was not a At instrument to pertect it. ‘The misston of the protective tariff was to place ‘the people of our own country on an equality with the (Producers of the Old World. ‘The ve tariff dealt with conditions and not with boundary lines. Fromm those nations against which the United States held the coign of ‘vantage no odds were asked, but when the republicans found con- ditions which Would strike down our industries and the rate of Wages of our workingmen there they erected the wall of a provective tariff, (AD- A Proposed Tariff Investigation, THE GKMATE FINANCE COMMITTER WILL ASK FOR ‘AUTHORITY TO TAKE TESTIMONY. ‘The Senate committee on finance this morning adopted a resolution to ask authority of the Sen- THE GRESHAM BOOM, ‘What Representative Payson Thinks of His Chances for Nomination for the Presidency. ASran reporter bad along talk this morning With Representative Payson, who was chair- man Of the Illinois state republican convention that indorsed Mr. Gresham for the presidency. Mr. Payson returned only the other day from the ‘West, where he has been interesting himself in political matters, He shys he thinks therelsnoth- ing more certain than that Judge Gresham will Teceive the nomination at Chicago in June, ‘The Gresham movement 1s developing tn the ‘West just as the Lincoln movement did in 59. It is a steady and positive growth. There is no ma- chinery init, and when the Chicago convention meets the movement will be irresistible, All through the West the sentiment is felt. 1tis powerful in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Michi. n, Kansas and all through the West, as well as in Illinols, where the convention declared for him; where they have indorsed him from their own state, Gresham is a very strong second choice. All the favorite sons cannot be nominated, and the indorsements are generally complimentary. The idea of renominauing Mr. Blaine ts not tolerated anywhere in our section. Judge Gresham 1s the choice of the West. Tuere can be no stampeding of the convention for Mr. Blaine. Illinois 1s a good state to judge by. There has always been a strong Blaine sentiment in the ‘state, You remember bow hard Gen. ran had to fight for the inaorsement of Grant. The peo- ple were wild about Blaine. There is no more of tuis now. In the conveation were of the men who had been for Blaine heretofore. talked with many of these. They won't have any more of it. About twenty or twenty-flve of the dele- gates were formerly Blaine men, I have talked with them, and know how they feel. Forty-iour ‘strong and earnest men go to the convention trom Liltuois for Judge Gresham. They will not allow any stampeding.
