IN SENATE,

TUESDAY, June 10.
Mr.. MORRIS rose and commented at length on
an editorial article which appeared in the Intelligent
Ger of this morning, on the subject of the Washing
ton monument and which contained quotation in
regard TO the Ohio Senators, from the Baltimore
Sun. Mr.. M. said :" the insinuaions made against
the Senators from Ohio were, every word false
and groundless" In descending TO particulars Mr.
M attacked only two points in the quotation one in
he editorial remarks and all in the regular
report of daily proceedings. The two points in the
quotation from the Sun were: Isl. The charge of
swinding;D which Mr.. M. said he and his col
league had not made. 3D. That they had asserted as
fact" that $50 coo had been collected in Ohio;
which Mr.. Nj said they had not asserted as fact
The only point of attack in the editorial remarks
was the word CHARGE" Mr. M insisting that what
he and his colleague had said did not amount to
/" charge" Mr.. M. also repeated, at some length,
insnuations such as he had used the other day, a
specimen Of which is, :" call on them (the officers
Of the Monument Society 10 come forward and
show that their own hands are pure; whether part
Of this money is not sticking TO their hands; and
whether they have not paid portion of that money
10 agents." He said, also, GO am glad this physic
has been given; and hope it will cause those con-
cerned TO disgorge their i'll. gotten gains"
Mr.. ALLEN made no direct charge of error in the
publication, but merely said he was glad his col
league had noticed the subject in this manner and
had corrected the error Mr.. also, at some length,
but in decorous language renewed the insinuations
which he made the other day of which the principal
that he did not believe that more than $50
600 had not been collected for this object He said
he did not know where the fault lay he charged
no one with embezzng this money and there were
innumerable agents concerned in this>business, as
we'll as the more immediate officers of the Society
MIR. CLAY, Of Kentucky, said he was unwilling
20 interfere during the progress of this discussion,
irregular as il was, in his judgment, because the Sc
majors from Ohio had other examples of similar pro-
ceedlngs, Bun he trusted that the Senate, for the
sake o. me despatch of their business and of their
own dignity and character, would not hereafter tole-
rate these discussions founded on newspaper para
graphs Ifthey should so, what wouldbes the con-
sequence In his own case, Mr. G. could occupy
the whole session in commenting on newspaper nara.
