Mr. INGaucs, (rep.) of Kans: from the Com- mittee on Indtan Affairs, to whicn was relerred communication from the Secretary of the In- terior in retation to the sale of certain Indian lands tn the State of Kansas, reported back the Baume with a recommendation that the committee be discharged from its furthe? consideration, a bill having been passed relating to the subject at the last session. ‘The committee was discharged.

Oregon, moved that the Senate take up the bill for the construction of a | custom house and bonded warehouse at Portland, | Oregon, and appropriating $100,000 jor that pur- poze. Mr. SHERMAN, (rep.).of Ohio, sala be would ob- | ject to this bill, He was opposed to any further expenditures for public buildings in the present ; condition of the finances. Until the House of | Representatives indicated what it intended to do in regard to the revenue of the government no | new public expenditures should pe authorized. It | would be bad policy to do this until means are pro- | vided tu meet the expenditures already autbor- ized. It may be said tyat 1t is the duty of Congress | to levy new taxes. Pefhaps it is the duty o! Con- gress to do so, but the Senate was not to judge that. ‘Ihat was the consticutional privilege of the House of Representatives. That body, in I's own good time, might do it, bat until then, the expen- ditures should be just within the amount of reve- nue. He objected to the present consideration of Ube bill. ‘The question being on taking up the bill it was decided in the afirmaiive—Ycas 22, nays 18, Mr. CONKLING (rep.), Of N.

Vt., said he desired to express his obligution to the Senator irom Georgia for the very handsome manner tn which he had spoken. He did not intend yesterday to | address any narsh language toward the Senator, and if the Senator so uuderstood him be was very sorry ior it.

ABGUMENT OF THE ‘VOYAGE EN CHINE.” Mr. Pompery, & retired merchant, testy and ob- stinate, has two marriageable daughters, whose settlement in Ife he desires. When the scene opens the younger girl 1s supplied with an ardent suitor who is acceptable to the family, Fompery, however, refuses to allow his younger daughter to marry uotil her sister has been provided with a husband, The result isa deadiock, for the lady— Marie the heroine—persistently reluses all offers of marriage, Her indifference is due to the fact that she 1s already married to a young naval oMcer who ts absent in China, As her marriage with the young officer, Henry, took place tn italy on the eve of his departure for China without the perental consent of Pompery, the oostinate fatner has had the marriage declared null and void in the French conrts. In the first act Henry has returned from China and appears at the house of Pompery, where his entrance 1s facilitated by meeting an Old school fellow in the person of the accepted suitor of his wife’s sister. Unfortunately, on tho road to the house he bus the misfortune to come into collision with old Pompery, whose carriage 1s damaged aud temper soured by the meeting. On Tecognizing {n the sultor to his daughter’s hand the man who had damaged his carriage on the road his fury knows no bounds, and he declares that he will never consent to the marriage. In order to render it impossible, he even atteupts to Failing tn this, and discovering that bis daughter is about to fy with her hus- band, he contrives, with oe aid of another suitor to Marie’s hand, to have Henry again ordered to China, In order to defeat this plot Henry sends at once his resignation to the Secretary of the Navy, During the progresa of the play the scene has changed trom the outskirts of Paris to Cherbourg. Pompery and bis iriends are congratulating them- selves On having disposed of Heury apd propose a short sailin a man-of-war. As they have never been at sea they embrace the proposition. Henry, who is Kept weil iniormed of their movements by Marie, resolves to play a bold trick on Pompery. He bribes the boaiman, wio puts the purty on board of & merchant shin, Whose captain 1s a frieud of _Henry’s, and resigns to him the commana. Inthe morning, to the dismay of the party, they find themselves on board Henry's ship, bound for China Pompery demands to be put on shore, but ts Inforined that it i¢ impossibic, tin view Of the strict orders given by the secretary of State, and procured by Pompery and his trends.

A CRITIO’S EAR PULLED. New YorK, Jan. 7, 1875, To THe Eprror oF THE HERALD;— Tenclose you an extract from a contemporary Which has naturally transported me with joy. Asa marvel of a graceful tribute to art it stands peerless in its wisdom, manliness and truthiul- ness; indeed, { am not sure but thatiis author should be tendered the freedom of the city tor his bravery. Many are the acknowledged improve- ments in our social and political government in our great city, but it remained for the defender of the drama to discover that in the heroic exertions | of a irtendless widow and her child to gain their daily livelihood should be found the germs of all the maliciousness, envious, poisonous, petty malice, spite and contortion of truth that ever emanated from a pen, Far be it !rom me, generous gentlemen of the New York press, to associate with your brotber- hood the authorship of this attack onme. I put call, through these few words, your attention to the fact that I would as soon compare your minds and pens to this obscure and unconsidered sei! important imprint of nothingness as qualtty-the excellence of the shining moon by its reflection in the stagnant pool, If I did not smile at tho “maudlin imbeciie” attempt to sting me person- ally it was because I 1emembered my recent glories before a New York public, and if I sighed it was because 1 thought of the equally snakish sting my Bijou may be doomed to bear when she may have no mother’s pen or voice to aid or com- | fort her. But Bijou ig brave as she 1s wondrous, and when I saw her crumbling something beneath her tiny feet, and asked her what she was doing and she unswered, “Mamma, I am treading on your enemies |’ then I thought, well, so—so be it. And 80, while 1 address thus my iriends in pubdiic and in private, it is but with the grateiul wish to show them and to comfort them with the assurance toat my enemies’ darts at moe or through me at my | child, have the same effect as water on the plum- age of a duck, With constant faith in the ever faithful public, I am, asever, gratelully their obedient servant, MATILDA HERON, FIRE IN THIRD AVENUE.

Mr. Charles Abert, the counsel and agent of Richard B. Irwin in his subsidy enterprise, ap- peared again this morning before the Committee on Ways and Means, when the following proceeu- jugs twok place :— The CoarnMaN—Woe left off im the examination | yesterday at the question whetitr you would give | us the names of the persons to whom you pid the | money received irom Mr, Irwin. 1 will repeat tne | question, | WITNEsS—Before proceeding with that branch of | my testimony, I desire to submit to the commit- | tee the opinion of Mr. Reverdy Johnson. I have | saia that, had my examipation preceded that of Mr. Irwin, [should have felt no hesitancy in an- | Swering the question of the committee as to whom, under Mr. Irwin’s direction, I, as is attor. ney, paid certain sums of money intrusted to me by him for the purpose. As now advised, it appears that I wouid thus unknowingly have violated my duty as counsel or attorney. I have said that I felt a hesitancy in stating to whom the payments were made by me, from the fact that Mr. Irwin had declined to auswer to whom he | made payments, and [say that he did not direct | me to pay any sum or sums to any member | | of either Hous? of Congress; neither did I do so; nor did I pay any person with the knowledge, understanding or agreement that any | sua or suis were to be so paid.

I cannot believe that any counsel has # right, under any circumstances, to give up the confidence of his client.” As this is a matter Of great importance to you; as your decision may briug you in contact with thé physical power ot the House of presentatives; as it involves a question of the lnghest | Professional ethics, and asit may alfectyour whole tuwure Career one way or the other whatever you decide, allow me to Ko 4 step further and most earnestly and respect- Sully advise you tor your own sake, and in order that, your course inay command the combmed confidence of your clients and your professional brethren, that before Gefinttely deciding you consult the higtest authority in your profession now available. Shoulda you act either Way, under the advice of the Hon. Reverdy Johnson or Hon. J. S. Black or any lawyer of a similar standing, I should teel that you hada proteetion against ciiticism, from whatever quarter; and sbot ny law- yer of the standing of these gentlemen a you to answer all the questions of the committee, I tor one would tect that you bad exhausted your duty so tar as I am concerned. ‘Personally, as you are aware, { should be glad to Folease, Fou unconditionally, knowing wat your evidence could only contirm mine. Very respect fully, RICHARD B. IRWIN BEVERDY JOHNEON’S OPINION. It was in consequence of this letter that 1 wrote to the Hon. Reverdy Jounson, as follows, he being personally well Snown to me for many years:— Wasumxcrox, D. C., Jan. 5, 1875, Yon, Ruyzapr Jouwson, Baltimore :— Dear sin—[am summoned to testify before the com- mitte of the House of Representatives, now invesiiating the Pacific Mai! subsidy question, and must appear to- morrow. I was of counsel for &. B. Irwin, who had control the Interests of the coinpany betore Congress during the session of 1s i-72, | I was directed in the course of my employ- ment by him to mace payments io certain | rsons Not members of Congress of either house tor | heir aid und counsel in the matter. I desire to have your opinion whether, under my obligations as counsel, have the mzhtto give the numes of :hese persons it called on todo so by the committee. In the course of my examination is it consistent with the relative rights ana duties of clieat and counsel to answer such ques- tions? Please give me your opinion fally on the capie involved. Very respecttuily, C. ABLRT, Here is Mr. Jobnson’s reply :— Bavti Jan 6, 1875, To Caantes Azent, Faq., Washin tout ¥ Dean Sin—Your letter of yosterday isrecelved. Ifyou were employed by Mr. trwin as counsel, and in that capacity were directed by him to employ other persons | aud to pay them out of the funds placed in your hands jor the purpose, you cannot legally or morally, without his consent, disciose their names. You tell me, and trom my knowledge of you Lam sure it is so, that you mage no | Payment to any member of Congress. Yours, with re- gard, REVERDY JULNSON, A PRECEDENT IN SUPPORT OF THE WITNESS, The witness here quoted from a ruling of the Committee on Banking and Currency in the Ocean National Bank investigauon, which he regarded | 48 Sustaining his views, and said, from tne indi- catesl Opinion of the chairman (Mr. Maynard), lls views seem fully to accord with the opinion of | Mr. Reveray Johnson, already given:—“Where a dimerence im the course of action on_ tne | same point by two committees of the House | occurs both courses cannot be right, and in Iny opinion the House itself should decide whict is right.” There 18 & recognized difference be- tween the position of Mr, Irwin and myself hefore this committee, In that he was.an oMcer or agent of the Pacific Mail Company and I was an attorney and counsellor empioyed by him. ‘Communica. | tiobs made on the Jaith o! that professional con- | Hdence which «# client reposes in nis counsel, attorney or solicitor, are not allowed to be | revealed in a court of justice.’ (Phillips on Evi- | dence, vol. 1, page 162) - With respect to the character and situation of the persons receiving the comrounications, it is to be observed that this professional privilege extends | to the tnree cases of counsel, attorney and solici- tor (page 163). Tiereiore, im the payments made by me, as the attorney of Mr. Irwin, am [ | not debarred from testilying, especially when, on applying to my client io be allowed to testify on | this point, he deciives to give his consent? Phil. | bps says:—“Anm attorney will not be alowed, against his client’s will, to disclose matters of provessivnal cunfidence, tuough he nimseli is will- ing to do so” (page 16u). THE OCKAN BANK CASE. in the Ocean Bank investigation case, already reierred to, the witness was not aliowed to answer | the question as to whether he kuew ol any illegal or Le st conduct in the management of the at- | fairs ot the bank on nis (Mr. Davis’) part or on the | Part of any other oficial in any way connected with the bank, because what the witness ; Knew came from Mr. Davis himself, Having exhibited to this committee an opposite course of action pursued by it from that adupted by the Committee on Banking aud Currency on the ques- tion of professional coutidence. I respectiully con- vend (hat the House alune can decide which is the right course, aud thereiore, before rire ied the | pending interrogatory of this committee, | ask that tue committee will obtain the decision of the | House on this point us applicabie to my case, THR WITNESS’ OWN ACTS. | The CHAIRMAN—I Will not ask you just now to | divulge any communication made to you by Mr. | | Irwin; but I wiil ask you to testify to your own acts, without any regard to any communications. | I therelors put the question to you, “Ilo waom | did you pay this moneys 7” WitNéss—It strikes ine that 1s the very question | ab issue I made no payments voluntarily; 1 inade them under the direction of Mr. DISTINCTION BETWEEN ACTS AND K3 The CHAIRMAN—About Communications between counsel and his chent the courts say that these | communications are confidential, but I never | beard of a court saying that a man can conceal | Mis own acts because fis client told him to do | them, 1 ask you now about your own acts. Mr. NIBLACK—I desire to call che attention’ of the witness to the distinction that exists bstween communications made by a client to his attorney and disoursements made by the attorney simply as | unagent, In other words the duties o: counsel do | not asa rule, extend fo business o! that surt, but simpiy bo advice and geneval direccon, | The CHARMAN, to Witness—Do you hold, as a | matter oi law, that this committee is not entided vo hear any Communications made to you by Mr. | Irwin, lt both you and Mr. Irwin consent to 1. ‘Toat reems to be the doctrine laid duwn by the | Committee on Banking and Currency, in tle case | to whici you have reierred. WiPNESS—-NO, sir; the aificulty in this case 14, » that Mr. irwin hitmeelt declined to answer. It Mr. Irwin had not decitned to answer | should not | have considered this a privilege question at all. |. ait. BECK—Let me make @ suggestion to Mr. Abeet: Mr. Jonnson savs in his letter, that if you were employed by Mr, irwin as counsel, ana | in that capacity Were directed by him to | employ other persons and to pay them out of JunGSs put in your hands tor the purpose you can- | Dot legally of morally, without his consent, dis- | close Lhe hames. You recotiect that you said to us yesterday that the paymeuts were made by you to men whom you had never seen before or | been used to obtaim legisiation by Vongress, | Which T “ since in many cases. Does it not occur to you that Where payments were made by you to men whom you never saw velore nor since the letter of Mr. Reverdy Johnson does not approaca that question at ail? question of employmens by Witness—It is not a me certainly, The CHAIRMAN —Nobody 1s more desirous than I | am myself to guard jealously the rights o/ a client In the hands of his counsel, They are considered by the profession ,the most sacred of its obliga- uons, and I forone woud not knowingly trench upon those rights. We desire to get at certain acts of yours whici, we believe, | we ure entitled to without regard to the discussion of.this question, As Mr. Nivlack | haa said, these acts of disbursement by you cannot under any Coustruction be considered ax confiden- tial communications between client and counsel. Mr. Kasson—in the very nature of things te | Party to whom the money 1s paid 1s as well aware Of the jact ag the ciient humseli, and therefore 1t cannot be a personal secret. | hoid, {urtuer, that universal law requires a counsel tn a case in court to testily toa per ent which he has made to an- other party by direction 01 his client or not, if thas question arises, Mr. NiBLack—Unoder the law of my State a phy- siclan 18 prohibited from disclosing communica- tons Wade to him by bis patient, but that proni- bition would not prevent aim, if cailed upon in & pro) medicine be gave to his patient. | il a suit was bronght by the | ir. KASSON—Or, apothecary who sola the medicine, and he should put the physician on the stand, the physician would be compelled to testify tuat he oraered the medicine. Mr. NipLack—Or take the case of a priest. He May properly refuse to tell what 4 dying mon communicated to him, but that would not protect him from disclosing to the Court wuat became of the money of the dying man that came into his possession, if that becaine a material question, ‘Tne CoatRmMaN—He might be shielded from say- ing what the aying man toid him, Lut Dot from Stating what he did with the money.

He 1s a witpons. and this man is @ witness, and they canno constitute the relations of — clien and attorney in coveriug up paymen made for corrupt purposes. As e are endeavorin, to get at the bottom ol the question whetner corrupt means were used or not tne relations of client and attorney cannot exist in the matter. Congreas does not recoguize any such thing. Itis against puble morality for men to come here atiempting to influence legisla- tion and spending money for that purpose. Whether Mr, Irwin employed counsel or not he could not constitu'e a relation waich would keep Congress irom getting at the tacts.
