trenchment Asindicating tho character ofthe
debate, tho following from logan is teiegtalsh.9
cd Logan said it seemed to be assumed by eerss
tain Senators that all who supported Trua,.a
bulls proposition were trying to ihiure the
Administrations, He had no such desire. yet
ne had voted for that proposition, and AoIidt
DO SO again, beceuse he believed it TO beIaI
proper and wise measure. He undesstoods
that he was not In good standing with q cer-l
tam set OF men, who assumed to control and
guide the party; butIit matteredi verylittle
to him whether he wns or not He was res.t
ponslble to his constituents, and to nobody
else. Those men affected to be special chain,
plops of the President, but if he (togan) was,
President, and they attempted to aid him ,ins
the same way, he would think it wise to geei
RID OF their assistance as soon as possible.
1t was almost impossible to act an rinde-y
pendent part III the Senate now. These
three or four men, perhaps Eve, who
undertake to manage the party, call caucus
on any man who is disposed to be independents
and threaten to read him out. 4 For one, ltea
would act up to his convictions, and run the,
risk Of being read OUT do not believes,
said Logan, that the President of the United
States tears Investigation, but you have made,
the country believe he does. / don't believes
that any Of tho departments of the Govern.

tho country believe they do. As to,the or1
gan'zatlon of this committee, it Is peoulart1 n
when the Senate divided on this question Of
investigating the public service, twenty.fourI
Senators voted for the proposition and thirty.I
hve against ~ but when lit comes Co the APP,
Pointment OF this committee, seven members
OF it are taken from the thirty.fve and only
one from, the tweuty,four. qOf course, theraT
was no, design 10 this. The committee is
composed of honorable men, because SenatorsE
are al honorable men, daughter, butI fear,
that the making up Of the committee III this
way does not reflect much credit upon. usT
twenty four. Tho committee nominated, with,
the addition Of Cassserly, were elected. h Tina,
resolution of TrumbulI, with the privilege to,
send for persons and papers, was adopted. .4.45
This is triumph over, Observation-Disclosures,
men. Daribg the debate, Sumner said, o,
Senatorial oaucus was mere matter of oonve.,
