There are some things that stand out very prom
inently in the immediate subject Of Congressional
deliberation. The sction of the Investigating CON-
mttee makes out prima taeie case against the &C
cused parties after forty days labor. 1t admitted
that this case is sustained BY the testimony
BY the Committee. This judgment cannot be set
aside except for cause. That cause Ii professedly
found in an alleged want Of credbility in the wit
ne.,es But this point of credbiity is part of the
verdict Of the Committee. They have decided in
its favor, with better means Of forming an opinion
in relation to it than those who have not person
ally examined or tested the witnesses.
Thus decision by the House adverse to the
judgment Of the Committee in the premises
reflection on their capacity or their integrity Such
is the unpleasant dilemma in which the House is
placed by the action Of their Committee. 1t cannot
escape from it except BY an open trial before the
body Of the matters In issue and for this, unortu
pately, it has not the necessary time.
