Hearing in the Burr Disbarment Case ~Woolworth's Argument for the Accused —Court and Other Capital Notes, (FROM THE BEE'S LINCOLS RUREAT.] President Egan of the Irish Nationa League expresses himself as much pleased with the make-up of the new British cabinet. John Morley, chicf see- retary for Ircland, he says, is o pro- nounced home-ruler, and a man of strong courage and sound opinion. The office is by far the most important in the cabi- net to Irishmen, but unfortunately it hi mainly in the past been filled by men who have allowed themselves, unconsciously perhaps, to become the tools of the mem- bers of the permanent government. agan thinks, is & man who 1 of being ruled.

Soon after the release of Simmerman, the Minden murderer, on habeas corpus procecdings last fall, Attorney General eese made application to the state su- preme court for the disbarment of L. C. Burr, Simmerman’s attorney, for con- tempt and oflicial misconduct. The court appointed Messrs. Cowin of Omaha, Hay- ward of Nebraska City, Harwood of Lin- coln, Ragan of Hastings, and Ewing of Central City, a committee to ascertai the facts, and report on February 9. Last evening the committee met at fhe Com- mercial hotel, Messrs. Cowin, Hayward and Ewing being present. = Atforney General Leese declined to attend, but submitted n brief, setting forth’ his charges against Burr, and citing numer- ous authorities in support of disbarment, By stipulation the case was luid befors the committee on the law pleadings, Commissioner ville's testimony, and the applic for the writ of habeas corpus. Hon. J. M. Woolworth of Omaha_appeared for Burr, making a very forcible and elo- quent_argument. Mr. Woolworth con- tended that his client was not guilty of contempt beeause Simmerman’s ease had been removed to the federal courts on a writ of r, and that, though the prisoner was in the custodyjof the sherift, the latter was acting as agent of the United States, and that the state court had no jurisdiction. Referring to the charge of misconduct, Mr. Woolworth said that the statutes exp! ly provided that in case where the life and li‘.mrty of a client his™ at- torney must be left free to act as his judgment may dictate, untrammelled by fear or favor, Mr Burr, he was willing tc admit 4.4 i N L = 3 v, nad acted unwisely, but 1t v merelv'an error of udan i ¢ and not an intentional wrong, f'he whole proceedings were conducted openly in the presence of a number of citizens, and there was no collusion be- tween Burr and Saville, as the latter had sworn he never met or heard of Burr before he appeared and demanded the writ. The whole argument was ingenious and made a_ strong impression on the committee, who will report their opinion to the state court about Wednesday next., dent.

M charged that thic opposition to Dakota had first come, not from the democratic side of the senate but from tie republican side, and quoted some remarks of Mr. Iale in & former con- to sustain his position. Medillan believed Mr. shall be selectes Hale stood Mr. Butler did not care how that was. ‘The senators trom Illinois and Indianaj said he had referred to the vote polled by South Caro- lina and other southern states, and compared these votes with the vote of Dakota. Mr. Butler had to assume that was done for the )se of giving a seetional turn to the de- and arraying popular prejudice against the southern people. The southern t.aButler continued, had been under fire for a good many vears, ‘They survived heavier artillery than that ~ turned against now and would survive Whatever might be said against South ina, and no doubt she had made mis n {he past and would wmake mistakes in the future, never, until the political friends of the senators had camped upon the fair bosom of that state had her officials been tainted with blemish or corruption. It had never happened until then that herSoflicials had been compelled to fly from her borders to escape states prison, and while the de- grading, disgraceful aud humiliating spolia- tion had been going en, not one word ot pro- test had come from’ the houorable senators on the other side who now arraigned South Carolina. Mr. Logan said his attention had been di- rected to the vote of South Carolina because the senators from South Carolina (Butler) and Missouri (Vest) had _complained that Dakota in 1844 had polled 55,000 votes. while on the adoption of the proposed constitution ly 8L000 votes had been polled. He an) had then called attention to the sena- 1 state (Soutn Carolina) and showed , with only i rof a million d polied 31 le South lina, with a population of a million had polled 91,000 votes, and he slmgnm had inquired whetler, it explanation was quired for Dakot wmation was not also required for South C: Butler replied tha hat at the last election in South Carolina the political friends and all of the senator from Hllinois were industriously neglected. They had not been instructed or even ap- proached by that senator. He (Butler) clieved all the people of South Carolina, white and colored, were satisfied with their state government. Mr. Logan remarked that nothing had been said by him about the state government of South Carolina, Mr. Butler then inquired if the senator from 1llinois (Logan) would in turn vouchsafe an explanation of the votes of some of the states that he (Butler) would mention. He inquired how it was that only 62 per cent of the votes of Illinois had gone to the poles at the last election, even with the f: rite son of Illinois and the “Plumed Knight” both on the ticket. Mr. Logan said the point first made by the senator from South Carolina had been that explanation was required why the vote had fnlllcn off 3in Dakota, He “(Logan) had explained that fact by showing that the democratic committee of the territory had notitied the democrats not to participate in the vote. But even on the view of the senator from North Carolina_if the vote had fallen South Carolina, 1llinois, and other should it not fall oft in 1 5 did planation was the Vermont, under the tor from that state insm for the suece ;i t [great laughter] had polled only 62 per cent of its vote, and oven then that the senator's own town had for the first time in its history gone democratic? Alsc, why had and, equally enthusiastic for the ublican party, polléd only 42 per cent of het vote for that'party? ~And further, Wwhy in Maing, the homg of the “Plumed Huiziy, but ¢ .cr‘c uioLie vote was cdst forthat r ticket? M[r. Logan—Will the senator allow me to ask him a question? utl shall be through in a moment. things can be explained. 1 was zoing to do it. 1 shall pe glad to hiear the ex- ) @ moment. s Mr. Butler said, for the ators who had not, and in_the nature of things could not, have presidential aspira- tions, to watch the contests going on be- tween some of the senators of the other side, He had no doubt Dakota’s vote would be a luscious plum. for ambitious statesmen who were infected with the presidential fever, He referred to “*our genial friend from Iowa’ (Allison), who, he said, had “only got to cross over and shake the bush,” and *who would bear watehinz,” Referring to one of the Dakota gentlemen who opposed admis- sion, Mr, Butler said that while some other men weee lolling in their tents, he had been marching to the tnne of his country, In the course of his remarks Mr. Butler al- luded to the pensions paid to union soldiers, and said he (Butle) had voted to pay mil- hons upen milllons of such pensions to the comrades of the senator fron is, while his (Butler's) comrades neither ex d nor received a cent, but paid their share of the taxes, He aid not complain of this, The comrades of that senats f the vie- tors: Butler's comrad been the van- 1and were cntitled to no pension, The 5 of the senator from Ilinois were I to the thanks and honor of the gov- ernment. Bul the people had no right to be eternally flannting their performance in the face of thecountry in order 1o excite prejudice against others, Mr. Logan said he had not attacked the state of South Carolina. He had thought he 55 of the repub- PoJ | was compliinenting that state when he had said that South Carolina had always been in the fore front of demoeratic leade sln\r. Logan commented on the refercneces of Mr, Butler to the “lolling in their tents” of oflicers, *'while soldiers were on the mareh,” That remark, he said, was not just to the gentlemen on this side'of the chaiber. Mr. Butler disclaimed having intended its application to any senator, My, Logan recognized equal merit in all where there had been faithful service, In that what- ever pretence may be made as to the reason ¢ Dakota, however the senacors y “higgle” over words, the real reason was that it would have a republican majority, Men lnuz mf e as they please with flimsy pretexts that this was not the real source of dificulty, but the Awerican people had an abiding sense of justice. They know that all the elements ‘for statehood existed in Dakota: that it had the uecessary population , and alithe feonditions fof industry, energy | sovnas the geason opens. and eivillzation. s Then why, he asked, should not this new; state be placed In the cluster of the Awmerican ution, that it may add jts share to the' light and glory of the republic, s«i ir. Call opposed the committee’s bill. The will of the whole people of Dakota, he said, had not been ascettained on the question of division or on the proposed constitution, and they should have an opportunity of voting on these questiond before action by congress WA TIeCESSATY, Mr. Edmunds inquired whether Messrs, Call, Butier and their associates would vote for the bill if an amendment were made to it l»ru\'llllng for submission of the new consti- ation to the people for their approval before it should fin into aperation? Or would they vote for a bill which would be submitted to the people of the Whole territory for them to say whether they want: ivision or not? Mr. Cal sity for such urgent haste. This matter had to be decided with a view to the future as well as the present. Mr. Butler—Will the senator from Vermont, before submitting this bill to the people, elim- mate from it everything that has been’ done in the way of electionsof senafors, congress- men, et Mr, Edmunds—I will not. Atter all these years of effort and application by these Y(-npli‘. the matter should be disposed of, Tere was a constitution like the constitutions of other states in respect to the seeurity of property, administration of justice, the équal I‘u\'\'hlgnfm\m and other things that go to make up the best of modern constitu- tions, would not, therefore, say to these people that they must be again put off for two or three years, The people of a_territory, Mr. Ed tinued, had no right to fema ects fore kI aige part o I should be relieved of that burden as soon as was consistent with general good. It was the wisfortune of fate for the senators on the democratie side that the Dakotaians did not have political opinions with which those E rs could agree, and that was what the M. Beck denied the right of a_territory to divide itself, that being a power lodged only incongress.’ The popnlation of the new ter- ritory, he said, consisted to a considerable ex- tent of foreigners—Scandinavians aud others —who were not yet prepated for_citizenship.
