The Inteligencer contains an elaborate syn.
opsis Of yesterdays proceedings in the Senate,
wherein the river and harbor Improvement
question was argued at great length.
The Union contains an elaborate review Of
the testimony of Ex-Governor Resder before
the Kansas Investigating Committee. The
editor shows him to have been a voluntary
witness that the majority of the Committee
sought to and succeeded in examining him
without notice to and In the absence of Mr..
Oliver, and, also, Gen. Whitfield, whose seat
Reeder was contesting; to obtain testimony
bearing on that contest, being the object for
which the Investigating Committee was raised;
that bis evidence is invalid, because illegal :;
that it is not testimony, but an argument in
his own behalf; that he has perjured himself
in his pretended revelations with reference to
his conhd entail conversations with the Presi-
dent and that with reference to all else CT
which his testimony treats, it is but tissue of
misrepresentation and prevarications from
beginning to end.
