MR.. BoTrS' RESOLUTIONS ABOUT LIEUT.. HoOI.
Mr.. BOLTS, of Virginia, asked leave to offer the
following preamble and resolution: observing that he
held himself, personally and as a representative, re-
sponsible for the truth of every word and syllable con
tanned in the preamble, as established from a persona!
examination Of the records of the case.
Whereas, BY reference 10 the proceedings OF a MAYA
General Court Martial, held in the month OF May
1889, on board the United States ship Aacea"h,an
then living in Pensacola Bay, for the trial Of 1t. Geo
Mason Hooe, of Virginia, of the U. 5. Navy, on char
ges and specifications originally preferred against hhn
by Commander Urah ?. Levy: among other ireguiar'
tiles complained of by the accused, the following iacts
will appear, which call loudly for redress, to wit:
That, on the Both day Of May, James MITCHELL, the
steward, a negro servant of the said Commander Uriah
P. Levy, of the United States ship ~Nandalia, was
called and sworn as I witness on behalf OF the prose
cu,ion, to testify against the said Lieutenant Hooe;
that the accused objected TO the examination of the
witness upon the ground that he was a colorcd man;
that the court after deliberations, dd not consider the
objection q valid one, and ordered the examination TO
proceed; that the accused then offered the following
protest, which was at his request, spread upon the re-
cord:
uTbe acc~sed beps leave to state to the court, most
distinctly, that he solemnly protests against the erI-
dence of this witness being received ana recorded. II
is far from the wish of the accused to OBJECT 10 any evI.
dence which the Court may deem legal; but the WIT,
ness is a colored man, and therefore, IN the opinion OF
the accused, is not a competent witness even neiofe 'h's
'0 "Lieutenant US Navy.
Whereupon the witness proceeded to deliver his ev''
dence before the Court; upon the conclusion OF wh!ch'
the accused offered the following paper IN writings
which, at his request, was also spread upon the record;
ssThe accused having protested against the evidence
of this witness, on the ground that he concelres his tes,
timony to be altogether illegal; that he knows IT would
be so considered before the civil tribunals OF this lerf'-
tory, the forms and customs Of which, he humosy tn'nks'
should be as closely followed by a martial court as pos
sible: therefore asks TO spread upon the record the fact
that he cannot consent to, and has totally declined
cross-examining this witness.

We have various letters from Greene county, giving an account
of the scene between Messrs. Rivcs and Smith of Culpeper. 1t

but by way of blocking ont his antagonist, would not begin TIL
after dinner half after one and then spoke more than i've hours.
After he had spoken about three hours, some Of the Democrats
finding that he did not gave smith any opportunity 10 reply, mnved
that they should 60 OUT, and hear Smith. After ;. had resisted

that it changed two modern Wings Into two good Whie5o OF Wash

The resolution submitted by Mr.. Walker, for the ap-
pointment of a select committee 10 inquire INTO ihc eN-
pediency of elccting, by the Senate, two reporters from
each Of the two political parties, being under c%ons'dera-
ton
Mr.. TAPPAN said it might be that they could not
re, an eGnal number of the best qualified Rcportcrsi from
the two political parties; and as he did not think TINS
mart of the resolution necessary, he thought II best TO
leave this matter to the Judgment OF the Senate when
they should come to make the election.
SIr. WALKER said he could not consent to the cleo
ton of Reporters BY the Senate, unless 1t was provided
that they should be taken equally from both the political
parties. His object was To have the reports made cor
rec,lv, and in such a way that neither party could doubt
in respect to their correctness. But he had no objection
that the resolution should lie over, TO give the Senator
from Ohio and others time 10 consider 1t.
After further debate, Mr.. CALHOUN remarked on
the importance and difficulty Of attaining the object
and expressed his willingness that the resolution should
now 90 to the committee, or he over.
By general consent, the resolution was LAID over ior
future consideration.
On motion Of Mr.. WEBSTER, the Senate then pro.
ceedcd TO the discussion of the bill 10 authorize the
Mount Carmel and New Albany Railroad Company to
enter, on a credit, a quantity of land to aid in the cor
struction of a railroad from New Albany, in the State
Of Indiana, to Mount Carmel, in Illinois, and for Other
purposes.
MIR. w. made a brief statement of the object OF tho
bill. =,
Mr.. BENTON denounced the whole scheme as wild
visionary, and impracticable-it was n road, he said
l sfS''Sf
that had a middle without either end attached to It
and that the General Government ought not TO lent
itself 10 such an undertaking-and moved its indefinite
pos'ponemcnt.
Mr.. WHITE and Mr.. YOUNG each addressed the
Senate at some length, and very earnestly, IN favor o
the bill.
The question having heen taken on Mr.. Benton
motion, the vote stood Yeas l2-nays 10.
The further consideration was then postponed im
the present.
MIR. HUNTINGTON rose TO state to the Senate
that the bankrupt bill, which had been reported from
the Select Committee, and had not been acted on, ow'
inc to the absence of the chairman, would be called on
Monday, and pressed on the consideration OF the body
until finally disposed of. He said there was much feel
ing ofanxIety as we'll OH the part of the creditor a:
debtor TO know what disposition Congress would be
likely to make ofthe bill, and it was with that view he
had riven this notice to the Senate.
The Senate then adjourned to Monday.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Mr.. EVANS of Maine, addressed the committee a
large in opposition to the bill, and went into an argu
mcntative speech, which he concluded at the hour o
recess.
The floor was obtained by Mr.. Tillinglast.
