Mr.. Starke OF Oregon offered the fol-
lowing resolution:
Resolved, That the papers relating to
the loyalty Of BENZ. Starke, Senator from
Oregon be referred to the Judiciary Com
mittee with instructions to investigate the
charges on the evidence which has been
or may be presented.
Mr.. Wade objected to the resolution.
Mr.. StaIke said he presented the reso.
luton himself, because he would spare any
friend Of his what might bean ungracious
Office. Certainly be would not permit any
one opposed to him to place himsslf in
such position. lie (Snrke) was anxious
that any Senator, who proposed to be the
prosecutor ut Ihr charges brought here
against him, should HAYS an opportunity
offered him. He availed himself of this
opportunity to say that, relying on his
own consciousness of loyalty to the coun.
til, and Jislding to no maa in devotion
to the Constitution and the Union, in
venerstion and reverence for the flag Of
his country, he had hitherto refrained
from entering into the question contained
il these papers, preferring to stand Oh
Whist he conceived to be his personal hon
or and the rights of his State, If any ons
wished TO prosecute the matter further
he would be most happy to meet it.

The EDpYsToNE ELIGHTHoUSE.-Th Ed
dystonc Lighthouse has now withstood the
storms of century, solid monument TO
the genius of IT'S architect and builder =
Sometimes, when the sea rolls in with
more than ordinary fury from the Allan
tic, driven up the Channel by the force of
a southwest wind, the lighthouse is en-.
veloped inspray and its light is momenta-
rily obseured But again IT is seen shin
ing clear like a star across the waters, a
warning and guide to the homeward
bound. Occasionally, when struck by a
streng wave, the central portion shoots up
the perpendicular shaft and leaps quite
over the lantern. AT other times "a tre-
mendous wave hurls itself upon the light
house, as if 10 force it from its foundation.
The report of the shock to one within is
like that of cannon; the windows rattle;
the doors slam; and the building vibrates
and trembles to its very base. But the
tremor felt throughout the lighthouse in
such a case, instead of being a sign of
