The Senate was not session to-day,
In the House Mr.. Grow offered a re-
solution that the Senatorial Executive
Committee be instructed to inquire whe-
Their any secret organization hostile to
the government of the United States ex-
lists in the District of Columbia, if so
whether any officers or employees Of the
city of Washington, or of the federal
government, in the executive or judicial
departments, are members thereof.
Mr.. Burnett. / desire to know wheth-
er any reason or fact exists for putting
forth any such investigation. It is an in
suit TO the city Of Washington and the
federal government, and ought not to be
entertained unless the gentleman from
Pennsylvania states on his responsibility
that there is such a conspiracy, and for
myself l don't believe that any purpose
is contemplated by the citizens of this
District, or the adjoining States, of max
ing any foray or raid on this city, inter-
fering with the Inauguration of the Pre-
sident Of the gentleman choice. A more
miserable, contemplate mode of engen-
dering bad feeling and making the excl
tement worse than it is now, could not be
introduced.
Mr.. Grow. l would not have offered
a resolution unless l had supposed there
was something to base it on.
Mr.. Cox. Is debate in order?
The Speaker. 1 did not understand
the gentleman from Kentuck as object
ing to the resolution. If he did, hen de-
bate is not in order.
Mr.. Branch of n c. 1 will object to
the resolution until | see the chairman of
the committee in his seat.
Mr.. Grow. Ispoke to the chairman
yesterday regarding this resolution. 1t
met with his sanction. l have reason to
believe lhere was such a design enter
tanned by some persons in the employ of
the government: To what extent it has
gone, l don't know, and for that reason l
offered the resolution. If the gentlemen
on the other side do not wish to investi-
gate, they can object, and that will afford
better evidence that there is something
IN it.
Mr.. Grow demanded the previous
question.
The question was put.
Mr.. Kunkel Of Md objected. TCries
on the Republican side of "too late.
Mr.. Kunkel said he announced his in
tention to object long since. AS the gen
tIeman from Pa. INDUCED in some re-
fleeing on this side of the House, and as
he desired some one to take the RESPONSE
bility of Directing to this reflection on the
people of Maryland, l will tell him that
there is n here to object, and l am he
Mr.. Grows's resolution wos adopted.
