for the purpose of electing Caldwell.
Mr.. Aeon asserted that the testimony
against Caldwell was incontrovertable, and
that the Senate was insulted by the sending
here Of a Senator chosen under such nilu-
ences. He offered a resolution to the effect
that the Senate had power under the consti-
tuition to reject any Senator elect, provided it
be shown to its satisfaction that the election
is tainted with fraud, and asked that i. lie
over.
On motion Of Mr.. Conkling, the committee
on revision Of the laws, was given leave to
sit during the vacation,
Mr.. Buckingham commended that the means
used by Caldwell were corrupt, and against
public policy, and should make his election
void. The payment of money to Carney,
which was admitted by Caldwell, was as much
wrong as if it had been used to bride Il
voter.
