taxed TO frame bill embracing as many in
ducements as possible TO secure the appreciation
OF the Harrison party, while, at the same time,

now. The President will preserve his consis
tency FOREVER, or change from conviction, and
voluntarily.
We conclude with another extract from the
Enquirer:
" 1t is said al Washington, that Mr.. Tyler will not
sign any Tariff BILL which proposes to strike out
the 20 per cent limitation and to retain the Distribl-
hon feature. The Feds will go the whole-stick to
Distribution, and then extend the Tariff to twenty
five or thirty or forty per cent The consequence OF
his vetoing their new Tariff bill would be, that the
Government would be thrown upon the act of '33-
that is to say, the 20 per cent duty with the pro-
ceeds Of the public lands thrown back into the Ex
chequer, and the loans already authorized by law
In taking this course, Mr.. Tyler would only be adj
herring to the course, which he marked out in his re-
solutions of '39, preserving the Compromise Act "sa-
cred and invioate"-and in his late Message to Con-
gress, recommending the Distribution to be suspend

T. THE INQUIsIToRIAL CHAMBER.

Congress has now been in regular session
sir long months, and what has it done for the
country ? The dark spirits which preside in
the committee rooms, in the gloomy basement
of the Capitol, may answer. They will say
our servants have been true TO our commands j;
nothing have they done for the country; erery-
thing that the wit of man can devise for the de-
struction of the President-calumny, peIsecu-
ton in every form, infrlngements attempted on
his constitutional rights, malignant abu use at
lacks on the private character of the man, on
the public character of the statesman, contume-
ly, insult, everything, to destroy the Chef Ma
gistrate, nothing for the country. Some two
or three days ago, we ourselves were summon

sits Mr. Garret Davis, from the State Of Ken

Hon. JOHN WHlTEi
Speaker 81 the House II representatives..


Mr. CAVE JOHNSON moved an amendment in
structng the committee TO inquire what steps
shall be taken TO enforce the authority of the
House, and to send for persons and papers.
MIR. CUSHING defended the course of the Sc
cretary Of War, maintaining that the Executive
and the heads of the Departments are invested
with discretionary power to withhold papers
where the public interests would be injured by
their publication. He supported his position,
among other arguments, by reference TO case
given in Jetlersons works, as having occurred
during the Administration of Washington.
Mr.. ADAMS differed from Mr. Cushing, and
maintained that the Executive had no right to
withhold any papers called for by the House, i'm
less they ar, such as relate to foreign affairs.
Mr.. FILLMORE moved the previous question,
but waived his motion at the request Of Mr.,
Mckay who made brief explanation in vindi-
cation of the Secretary, who had not absolutely
refused to communicate the papers. or denied
the right of the House TO demand them, but had
withheld them merely for time, because they
are incomplete, containing only ex parte evil
dence, and would consequently publish criminal
lions Of individuals, who had no opportunity of
rebutting the testimony brought against them.
The motion for the previous question having
been renewed, the proposition Of Mr.. JOHNSON
was negarved BY vote of 81 to 72-and the
letter Of the Secretary was referred without the
instructions.
The House then went into Committee Of the
Whole, and resumed the consideration Of the
army appropriation bill.
Mr. PORE was entitled to the floor, but ielded
it for moment TO furnish an opportunity for an
explanation between Messrs. CUSHING and Gin
plNes, He then proceeded with an argument at
length in favor Of the reduction OF the army, and
in reply to those who had preceded him on otheI
side, and specially in tht outset commenting on
the speech Of Mr. Cross.
In the Senate, Mr. TALLMADGE presented
memorial from certain journeymen shoemakers,
residing in the city of New York, in which they
state: I" Your humble petitioners believe that
the want Of a stiff tariff is the primary cause
of nearly all our present pecunlary embarrass
ments money is scarce, wages low. and but
little to be had at that. The remedy IS at hand +;
it lies in your power. Ours is no local inte-
rest" The memorial was referred to the Com
mittee on Manufactures.

The Colonel Of the Regular Army is pecu-
liarly facetious of late He has dropped the
sword and assumed the birch. The colonel has
sunk into the pedagogue. He is specially
critical on what he deems our faults Of Ian
guage. He is particularly anxious that our
self, no doubt, perfect in the knowledge of Eng
lish syntax-let him now commence his study
of the Latin. His attempts at that language
would shame tyro. The IN hoe perba will
not pass muster. These words, as employed
by him, are really very ''atrocious."
But we do not resume to rival the Colonel
either in welding the sword of wood or the
sword of steel. Weyield TO him the supreme use

learning, as much as we applaud his courage
Let him continue his studies, and ere long he
will become as famed for his scholarship as he
has been hitherto renowned for his deeds OF
fight. Aut Cesar aut nullus, is the ColonePs
motto. Nullus, we are told, is good latinity for
Colone-good, at least compared with our
Colone's attempt, and specially applicable to
him. And Colonel Webb is endeavoring to be-

WAR DEPARTMENT, June |, 1912.

STA: received the day after its passage copy of
resolution Of the House of Representatives, Of the
18th uimo, in the following words:
"hesolred That the Secretary Of War be required
to communicate this House he several reports late
ly made to the Department by Lieutenant Colonel
Hitchcock relative the affair OF the Cherokee In
dams together with all information communicated by
him. concerning the frauds which he charged to
investigate also all the facts the possession Of
the Department, from any source, relating to the sub
ject." #&s
The want Of time until recently, to examine some
of the reports referred to, has prevented earlier
sWer to the resolution.
The reports relating to the Chefokees contain in
formation and suggestions in reference to the matters
which it was supposed would become the subject of
negotiation between this Department and the delegates
of the Cherokee nation, who have been appointed to
settle their claims and all other matters OF difference
with the Government of the United States, and who
have arrived in this city. The nature and sub
ect Of the report, and the opinion of the President
and of this Department render its publication, at this
time, inconsistent with the public interest
The other report referred to in the resolution, relat
ing to alleged frauds of Indian agents. contains such
information as Lieut., Colonel Hitchcock enabled
10 obtain by pdrte inquiries OF various persons,
whose statements necessarily without the sane
ton OF oath, and which the persons implicated
have had opportunity to contradict or explain. To
promulgate these sta emens at this time would be
9 ossly unjust these persons, and would be caIcu-
lated defeat rather than promote, the objects of the
inquiry. Sufficient opportunity has not been given
10 the Department to pursue the investigations or to
call upon the parties affected for explanations TO
determine on the measures proper to be adopted
1t hoped that these reasons will be satisfactory
for transmitting to the House at this time the re-
ports referred 10 in It's resolution.
