Slate Arrests,

On Monday last in the Senate of tie Uni
ted States, MIR. TRuwBuLL of Illinois called
for the consideration Of the following reso
luton previously offered by him:
"Resolucd That the Secretary o. sraie be
directed 10 Inform the Senate whe her, in
the loyal States of the Union any person or
persons have been arrested and imprisoned, !,
and are now held 10 confinement by order
from him or his Department; and if so,
under what law said arrests have been
made and said persons Imprisoned.
This resolution certainly contsils moth
ing improper, and nothing that an c f7icer Of
the Government oughi not to re prepared
TO answer without hesitation yet ii encoun-
tered the most strenuous oppositi m, and
probably cannot pass the Senate. The fact
is undeniable that men have been arrested
in the loyal States Of the Union, and that
they are now held in confinement without
authority of law. Secretary SEwAFD could
return 70 answer to the interroga ories oi
the resolution, and hence The hes lation oil
! the Senate 10 call forth an official a lmission
from the State Department that he laws
which its Chief had soIemnly sworl 10 pro-

csuselessly violated.

occasion, made a noble appeal il behalf
OF the Constitution and the laws, hich the
majority of lhe Senate regard as altiqualed
