the resolution offered Yesterday: NJ, A..
On motion of Mr.. BAYARD Dem, Dell, the
motion to refer the credentials OF benjamin curAe
of Oregon was taken ~.
Mr.. BAYARD cOntended that 1t was mol IN
accordance with the Constitution TO refuse TO allow
the Senator TO take the oath Of Office Inc qneilh'
cation of Senator was left entirely 70 his stare,
md IL was not in the power Of the Senate TO refuse
10 allow bin TO take the oath of of.ce. The Senate
could not reject an idiot, or man convicted OF
crime if he was properly sent here by bis State.
Such a person has right to be sworn IN as mem
her of this body Then the Senate would have the
newer 10 punish him az a member or expe him for
sufficient cause He (Bsyard) claimed there were
10 precedents as regarded this case, ana that IL
would be very dangerous precedent TO establish,
that of referring credentials.
Mr.. SUMNER rep, Macs. said that the Con-
stituton said that each House should be judge OF the
qualification of it's own members. Does the Senator
| from Delaware claim that tie Senate cannot con-
slider loyalty as a qualification lie sumner
claimed that there were precedents. He REFER 10
the case of Philip Barton of Kentucky, In the Ath
Congress. who was said TO be in the pay OF England,
and the House made his loyalty qussl OF qnann'
| cation.
! M. BAYARD thought that the care was not
parallel one aud referred TO the words uttered Dy
/
when he hoped 1" that our troops would DC wer
coined by the Mexicans with bloody hands to hos
piralle graves" He cid no. consider the man dis-
loval Tor that tpcech, and would not condemn man
\ Oh declarations uttered in the heat OF debate.
| Mr. COLLAMER said there was no DOUBT that
,be ease WIZ without precedent, and according 10
general usaQ. we should allow the applicant TO take
the cath. But ii is claimed that The present appn
cant T. not loyal TIE question is, as there IL no
urec.deut vi nj she'll we do with it ! lie Cola

would let il 90 to The Judiciary Committee and lave
n rerort on the subject. That was the very point he
wanted examined. -,
Mf. HALE (Rep, y. H. sid that he wanted to
mike correction regarding his absent friend, Mr.
(orwin lie (IIule) thought Mr.. Corwin's speech
very fine one end very much like the speech OF LORD
Chatham, when he saii that If he were an American
and f,rei IN troops entered his country be would
never Law down his arms. Mr.. Corwin said: " II 1
were Mexican j would sny, have yon not WORK
enough 10 do in your country TO bury de 'd men
II Won come into mine we VIII meet you win bIVody
hands. ard welcome you to bosptabie graves
That i what Mr.. Corwin said and II anybody here
finds fault with it, they can find fault here with him
tlialel.
Mr.. TRUMBULL Rep, H. said it was strange
doctrine TINT the Senate could not take notice OF the
LOYALTY of an applicant. Suppose come State Should
send negro here with proper credentials, would the
Senator IRON Delaware admit him
Nh BAlARD-I would require him TO be citl-
zen of the United States.
Mr.. TRUMBUII.-How would you determine
that by color Then you 90 behind the credentials,
and that is ust the point According TO the doctrine
o. the Senator from Delaware, II The State OF hls-
i .ipii should SIND spy OF jeff Dayis's here to
bloy. M the Capitol, mnst admit him here 10 set
tsc TO lie 10 WIDER that will blow up tue Capitol
There were prec,d.nts where credentials were sent
to committee before the oath OF Office was thken.
The question now II, whetaerwe shall s-hh thls case
I 70 the Committee.
NJ. BANARD said that he only stated that the
rs;euials must be received where the authority 10
h,lpint l. correct and properly exists. The Senate
had never refused TO allow the oath 70 be taken eS
cert where there was objection 10 the ing
nuthosi y. We must pay proper respect to tho APP
pointirg authority.
Mr. HALE said that Il was only few years ago
that Mr.. Dixon Of Kentucky came here with proper
credentials which were rent to the COMMITTEE,
Mr. BAIARD moved to amend the resolution so
M 10 allow Mr. Slarke to take the oath, and then to
-erd hi- papcrs 20 the ComG,tee.
