of the State Treasury for attending TO this
very case and also does the Senator great
injustice, in assuming that the object of his
resolution is to obtain information for his
own enlightenment.
Obviously the end sought by the resolu-
ton, is to place the history of The legal pro-
| ceedin9s in the case, before the Senate, SO
that Mr. Carpenter may be able TO justify
| by the rerorI, any rcmaI ks he may make,
OF action he may take, in relation to the
matter The very fact that he was OF
counsel in the ease, constitutes reason
WHY other data than his own statements,
should be presented
Again Mr.. Carpenter has been most un-
| Justly oppugned, with respect TO his part in
the conduct Of the case referred to, IN
which he was counsel-the case of the
United States against the City of Duluth
and others. Without attempting to dis
tribute or assign the praise, it is sufficient
to say that he and his auxiarics, Hon. p.
+ L. Spooner, and Gen. Barlow Of Madison,
managed that case successfully, and That in
its prosecution, marked ability, industry
and zeal were brou ght to bear, so long as
it 1eneaiteA case subjcct to their manage
1a"nt.
When without the concurrence OF, or
notice to, them or either of them, the case
to use IN expressive phrase OF the log
drivers-was chung up' by the war de-
partmcnt, their occupation was gone; un-
less, rs to Mr.. Carpenter, who we believe
was then in Washington, it was incumbent
on him. when he did learn of the "ncw
deal" to have gone personally to the de-
partment, and TO have insisted that the suit
should not be suspended upon the condition
proposed by JAY Cooke, or at least that the
effect of such suspension and OF the pro-
posed condition, on other righ.s, and inter
ests, prior to, and vastly more Important
than Cookies should be first considered
Whether by that course any thing could
have been effected and the war d partmcnt
could bave been Induced by NJ Carpenter

undoubtedly he did just what 1t seemed
best in his lad dgment should be done.
1t i enough 10 know now, that the ac-

consequences which have resulted, make 1t

In this connection we take occasion also
to say that Governor Faifchlid too, has

is, he was unrcmiltiny and paInS-taklng IN
a remarkable degree in his cndeavors to
maintain the rights of the State in this
matter; and no public officer OF W sconsIn
Dever had more ut heart the welfare OF the
St te in regard TO this and other things,
than Gov Lucius Fairchild.
