Mr. Locan—Of course, bocause he {a Mr. Johnson’s choot, and because the Senate dees not want to get into trouble with him. My colleague says the President sent in the names of nine men iu his district for assessor, don’t know wliat sort of a mao he has tuere now in that office; but if he ia honest he is an exception to the rule, if the President had gent in twelve—tie apostolic nun ber--honost men and afterwards appointed a thief, he {s responsible for the appoiutment, and not the Senate, not tuo Congress, not anybody cise im the world, Tne President and Secretary of the Treasury ought to have at Jeast sufficient evidence of a mau’s honesty belo: appaiaos him Lo an oflice of trast, Me, Kena, (dem.) of Ind.—I ask the gentleman from Minow (Mr. Logan) whether ho means to say that, either in fact or in law, iL is the duty of the Feesident to ap- point inspectors. not speaking now of assessors, Mr. Louax—it certainly is not his duty, but yet he does H, just as be does everything else that is Dot aia duty, “(Laughter,) Mr. Kexr—I dés'ro the gentloman to uamo an in- Siauee In Which the President bus wade such an appoint meut, Mir, Logax—I did not get up for the purpose of nating men aud puttiag their names betore the country in a bad hignt, aud hence I do not agswer the yentie- man’s questio Mr. Konn—{be President does not make the appoiat- mout at all—tie jaw does not give biu the power to do so— but tue Commiscioner of laternal Revenue. Mr, LoGaN—the law docs not give tue President the pow do a great many Linvgs that he does, the Secretary of the Treasury appoints tue Inspectors, Mr. Kenu—No; the Commissioncr of internal Revenue, Mr. Logay—Excnse me, if you please, tho Secretary of the Treasury appoints all these mien wiom the Pres- ident allows Lito to appotot. The President, under the law, has the appointment of the assessors and col- lectore, but the secretary of the Treasury can appoint the jospectors, I am told, for inatanc’, that he hag ‘deen required to appoint certain men as inspectors by the President, and I Lave no doubt of the traty of that, But it makes no difference whether it is McCulloch or the President who appointed them. I believe Mr. Mo- Calloch went off on a sliding scale at the same time as the President did. They are both in the same boat, Mr, MeUullo:h recommends, aud tue rresident appoints, except in instances where the Pres.dent wauts to ap- point come of his own special friends, aud then he re. quires Mr, McCulloch to make such appointments, That w the way the thing goes. Mr, Kean—Uoes the gentleman consider that tbe Senate is in the game boat with the President and the Secretary of the Treasury in these appointments ¥ Mr, Logan—Tne Senate? Mr. Hxne—Yes; the Senate has to irm the ap- pointments of assessors and cvilectors, ag the duty Of the senate to know what it is dog and toconirm only good aud competent men. Mr. Logax--I never beard of the appointment of an inspector being sent to the Senate for confirmation, Mr, Kean—I did not say inspectors, but assessors, Mr. LogaN—The Senate ts not in the saine boat as the President, ad a matter of course: That is a simple propo- sition. (Laughter.) Mr. Kexn—Is not the Senate engaged tn aiding the the President to make these appoiutmeuts ? Mr. Lowan—The Senate has nothing to do with these appointments, The President makes the appointments and is responsible for them.

Mr. Relilns says it has, Mr, Logas—The gen'loman’s apeeiae is very simple, and I can answer it, majority of these oflicers to- day, who are charged with these fraude ure, mine out of tev, not officers whose appolarment comes before the senate for confirmation, I said that long age; but I will answer further, The gentleman bas the by the Judiciary Committee in reference to reporting officers to the President. Mr. Rolling bas nothing do with the Presi Mr, Rollins reports to bis chief, the Secretary of the Treasury, and not to President; 80 bis evidence bas nothing to do with, point of disoussien, But now I will answer the gentieman’s question further, I say that if the Presi- dent of the United States or the Secretary of the ‘Treasury will ask ‘or the removal of any officer. or for his suspension, on the groun’ that be has been detraud- ing the revenue of the United States, I assure, him that the Senate will agree to every such removal which the President suggests, and whidb he backs with ths state- ments that the officer is a dishonest man. Mr, Ranpat—Wili the gentleman from Ill:nois (Mr. Logan) allow me to state my experleuce in connection with this subject ? - Mr. Locan—I do not want the gentleman's expe- Ihave bad the experience of men who know a great deal more than he does about it, (Laughter.) Mr. RavpaL—I only wanted to state that I was asked by a grave Senator to make a barguia om that very sub- Mr, Exprince—I understand the gentleman from IIli- nois to propose that we suouid go to the President aud ask the removal of officers appointed within thg last four. teen months. If tuat bargain akg be made I wish it to ibolais @lj the appolntees, so that we will gei rid of all the fraudulent officers, because Mr. Rollins tella us that many vf the appolatees of Mr, Lincoln wore dis. honest men. Mr. Locan—Vory well; I agree to that. I agroe to mak» a clean sweep of it ‘all the way through. It might be of advantage to Mr. Johnson, aod | am sire k would help the revenues of the country a great deal. I desire tosay now, for the benellt of my democratic frieuds who desire to make this bargain, that 1 have also a pro- position to make. Last year there was collected from tho revonue on spirits twenty-three miilions of dollars. Tsay here, to teas the honesty of ir. McCu'loch an your Fresident, for be is not ours—(members on the democratic side, “He is not ours”)—I do not know whell he, or Doolittle, or Hancock is to be the next President, according to the nominations made down here at this meeting last wight, (Laughter.) 1 mean Ido not know whica of them will run for the next Presidency. Mr, Exparpce—It will be General Graut, if be gets oa the platform. (Laughver.) Mr. Logay— ia exactly what he fs going to do— the proper platform, if be gets on at all. But what I ‘was going to say is that there are men to-day who would give Mr, McCulloch fifty millions of doliara, If such a contract could be made—though I know it could not be under the law—who would pay into the Treasury of the United States before Saturday might next fifty millions of doilars, and pull all the expense of the coliection of the revenue from whiskey and take the excess as their pay for its collection. Alter some furtner remarks Mr. Logan yielded the floor, and Mr. Munaex, idem.) of Oho, spoke on the question of spirit moires—undertaking to provo that soey weranc guard against fraud, : ir. Van Wrox spoke io defence of the Metropolitan Revenue Board a being vigilant and active and usetul in the detec:ion and prevention of frauds. ir. NX remarked that the man who atood up to defend those men did not know what he was doing. Mr. Van Wyck suggested that he believed he knew what he was sayit Mr, Logan rei that be might know what he was faying, but not wuat he was doing (Langhter.) Mr. Van Wrcx remakred that he bad made porhaps as thorongh an investigation of the subject as tne gentlo- ‘man from Iilinow. He admitted that frauds in the wi of straw bail, or one sucb fraud, bad pasred that Board; but it had passed under a person who was not now & member of the Board, who bad been sont there from Washington, and who had permitted enormous irauds to be per ‘on the government. Mr, Lxcrmot, (rep.) of Ii., tred to offer in thie con- nection .a resotution ca‘ling om the Secretary uf the Yreasury for information as to the appointment of Inspectors and revenue agents, who appoiated them and on whose recommendation, but Mr. Scnenck objected to its being offered. Mr. Ho: (rep.) of Ind., spoke in favor of that part of the joint resolution stopping all further work on the manufacture of metres for the Treasury Department, but against alt the rest of it, The whole metre sysiez, he conte 5 been an entire failure.

Mr. Mansnavt replied that hie colleague had better opportunities for obialuing the floor than he (Mr, Mi sbali) hod, and that if he had any proo’s he could briag them forward and let the facts go before the country, If there was no other mode of punisoment the country anc! world should know taose, men engrged in these: enormous frauds, But be did dot believe that either the Vresident or the Becrotary of the Treasury had beom knowingly ongaged in aiding tho perpetraiion of these fraads.
