WAsHISoToS. Jan. 2. 1893.
Tuesday Evening.
The Cherokee resolution Of inquiry, one
hour aier the departure Of the Express Mail.
was adopted by small majority. Mr. Wise's
amendment was rejected. and an amendment
introduced by MI Everett Of Vermont. cal
ling on the Secretary Of War to furnish all
the Information in his possession relative to
the Cherokees-to furnish copy OF all the
treaties TO the members Of The House, and
also all correspondence between the Chero-
KEGS and the Government OF the United
States A spicy. sectional. desulsory debate
continued upon the resolution. interesting to
nobody but the Cherokees and Georgians,
until three o'clock, when the resolution was
adopted as originally reported 10 The House
by Mr. Dawson, the mover MIR Wise and
Mr. Everett both raped Georgia and the
Georgia delegation over the knuckles. and
the valient men defended themselves with all
their tact and power
Another and lar more important question
followed, which came upon the House by
surprise. and gave rise 10 a brisk and high.
y interesting discussion. Mr. Wise was the
author. as he often is the mover of many
good things. His motion was resolution
proposing an amendment Of the Constitution
Of the United States. so that the President of
the United States shall Aare no pc,cer TO ap-
point members Of Congress to Office, either
chile members Of Congress, or for i,co years
after they shall cease 10 be Heh Mr. w.
prefaced his resolution with some suitable
remarks, in which he expressed the hope that
the resolution would be adopted wiihou, dis
cussion. He said he thought. what most
honest men no doub, think, that The admins.
tration Of General Jackson. the great Molach
Of Democracy, gave sufficient evidence OF
the necessity Of its adoption.
Mr. Haynes OF Georgia, queer fellow. six
feet and higher. who wishes 10 figure as one
Of the heads Of the democratic family, who
speaks upon all days and all occasions and
upon all queslions-who is known, or is to
be known, as the Premier of his pariy-was
up in reply TO Mr. Wise. as he is in reply to
every body else. BY and by, when opportu.
nifty offers, ] will send you his epilaph, for
foresee he is dying man--pining away un-
der the burden Of glory hesped upon him by
his associates. The Premier's reply, how.
ever, was brief and happy. He should sup
port Mr. Wise's resolution. and he seemed to
give this early notice for the purpose of in.
forming his political friends that they too,
under his guidance, nigh, give it their sup
port. Mr. HAYNES said be approved of the
resolution because it was very democ ratio,
very indeed. and he should therefore vote for
IT, not for the reasons given by Mr. Wise, or
because he thought General Jackson had vi.
lated lis spirit, bot because it was very demo-
cratic. and so ably illustrated the strong and
impregnable grounds Of democracy.
Mr. Yell Of Arkansas, came next a cley.
err waggish, good-naturrd. whole. hog. going,
well-iniormed Jackson Van Buren, Loco Fo.
co Democrat Mr. Yell is well named Yell
mot that he yells when he speaks but that
his name personifes his politics. For
sample, he begun his speech by saying tha,
General Jackson soes. PERHAPS, he great.
esq man ever produced in tie country, &c.-
With such an eulogium to start with. you
may guess his continuation and peroration.
Mr. Van Buren, once said that Gen. Jackson
was the greatest man that ever lived in the
the tide Of time"-and Mr. Yell is very
clearly of Van Buren's way Of thinking
