SENATE.
WASHINGTON. Dec. IL.


Senator Hale rose to privileged question
He desired to send to the Clerk to read a
newspaper paragraph, charging with bribery a
Senator from New England, In securing the
release for the Sum of So, 900, of two prison
ers from the old Capitol Prison. From infor-
nation received from a Senator he was led
to believe that he (Hale,) was the person al
ludcd to. He wished to make Il statement of
the facts on which the charge was founded
Senator Hale then, at some length, ex-
planned that he had acted as counsel for those
persons and that he had asked the advice of
Hon. Reverdy johnson and others if he could
consistently with his position as a United
States Senator, act the legal adviser Of the
above mentioned parties. He was assured
he could; that there existed no reason why
he should not. Hon. Reyerdy ohnson stated
TO him that he was himself engaged in sucn
cases almost. daily. Under these circum-
stances he had acted for the prisoners. He
(Hale) then stated the facts VI the case, and
concluded by saying that what he had done
in the premises was not done inadvertently
but advisedly, and with cautious elaboration.
Senator Johnson remarked that he recol-
lected distinctly that Senator Hale called on
him as stated, and reported the conversation
materially as stated. In answer to his (llale's)
inquiry whether Senator was prevented
from acting as counsel for prisoners charged
before court martial with fraud, he
(Johnson) said he saw legal impeachment
In the way or even indelIcacy. " hat the
Senator had done was no doubt done IN con-
sequence of this opinion. Senators do not
cease to be lawyers il called upon for pro-
fessional services He saw diiclty in
complying unless the services involved the
neglect OF public duties. He (Johnson) had
repeatedly acted himself upon this assunp-
tion. The only question that can arise is the
possibility OF enacting any law to prevent it,
There was a law preventing Senators
from prosecuting suits against the govern
ment before the Court OF Claims lie be-
heved one has right To 90 before any other
court in the United States. II was not the
intention OF the law TO prevent a lawyer prac-
Using il his profession.
Senator Hale submitted the following reso-
luton, which was adopted:

be instructed to inquire whether John Z. Hale,

The TRIUMPH OF THE PURIrkNs-'. But n
the matter of dress and OF manners the Puri-
tan triumph has been complete. Even their

TO cut the hair, TO comfortable length tina II
to wear eifeminate curls down the back And

firstly a fool and secondly a swindler;
