THE NEw-JERSEY SENATORS REBUKED.
Prom 7R< Trenton STATE Sentinel
On Thursday the august Senate OF the
United States ordered the correspondents OF THE NEW
forego their manhood and divulge a secret which had
been intrusted to their honor as Journalists We
regret to observe that on the motion OF Mr. Morton to
lay the resolutions Of Mr. Carpenter the table, both
ofthe NewJeIsey Senators voted in the NEGATIVE AS
that the rules OF the Senate must he enforced so long
II their constituents were called upon TO vote upon pre-
csey the question: IL is safe TO say that rs out OF
rule are not in favor Of sarchambers, inquisltOns,
racks, thumb-screws, or anything of the Sort Time
where attempts have been made TO muzze the Press.
CoNKLINGs MALICE TOWARD FENToN.
On two occasions of late, Senator FentOn
has risen in his place in the Senate TO repei IN calm
and noG ma 1ag Sst gfsces HIS @ expaHs
ton impeed by sanderOus allegation IN The Ne,o-
ns1 INV Sy Tmm ne w Hall Bu boTeveT as
WAS the assertion Of The Times 1t is outdOne by the per
Conkng said tOhave INDUCED by ntmating, If they
have not directly charged that Mr. FentOn furnished
THE NEwYoRK TRIBUNE with the text of the Treaty of
Washington once more therefore, Mr.. Fenton rises to
"A personal EXPLANATION Again the Senator stands
completely justified from nischevous allegation, even
u THE TRIBUNE reporters had not already sworn that no
member of the Senate furnished them with the text Of
fhe Treaty whose publication has made such tempest
sn q teapot" We cannot however readily forgive those
Senators whose names given as having originated
the SANDER Their conduct teses TO the malice which
prompted It, Particularly is Senator COnklng az re-
port be rue nexcusabe for thus endeavOring to soil the
name OF brother Senator and that Senator his imme-
date colleague. Can IL not content the distinguished
gentleman VI Utica that he has mOnOpOzed the Federal
patronage OF State and engineered through the Ex
ecutive Department appointees whose only postNe
qualifications to be an implacabe hostility to Sen
FentOn
THE SENATE WOULD BETTER GO TO WORK.
From The Neyv- York Commercial ddrertler
The correspondents are finally In limbo and
She aggrieved Senators out OF danger The grateful
TRIBUNE has doubled the pay Of the unhappy victims
during the period OF their incarceration and the public
look on with wonder, and ask what is all this aboutf
THE Treaty was not Senate document. IL was an Ex
document The correspondents eXonerated every
senator and every Senate employe from charge OF
<ence or privilege The Treaty was in the hands OF Sen
tOrs the Senate met 1t was III the hands OF ne
High Commissioners. 1t familiar document IN the
STATE Department and in the White House 1here Is
every reason to believe that the President and the Com
mssiOners willing, even anxious 10 nave e treaty
made public. No word Of complaint is lspHd by theln
and IL any breach of privilege committed IL was pr
mary against the Executive and the "Hlgh joints
The Senate had better work now, ana get on It's
Sdignity" such displays TOO much for the season
ATTENTION, JOURNALISTS!

We commend to the care of the newspaper
men throu ghout country the subOined two lists OF
