! PUT NOT YOUR TRUST IN SENATORS.
The commercial value of Senator OF
| the United States does not rank so high
in this locality a. it did before the days
of the Credit Mobiler Investigation,
| Nevertheless yo,r correspondent was led
last evening To make'a statement on the
positive authority Of Senator Caldwell to
the effect that all the rumors with regard
to his resignation were without founda.
| ton, and that they were set aloat by his
malicious enemies with view to his in
| jury. Ii will be remembered that in the
case Of this geatiemen, he had such an
exalted opinion Of official dignity that,
when he came to make q statement be
fore the committee on privileges and
elections us 10 the circumstances attend
ing his election. he refused to be sworn.
but simply submitted his statement on
| the honor Of Senator. La denying the
rumors as to the resignation Of Caldwell
on his peremptory request your CORE
! spoudent was under the impression that
this statement was also made on the
honor of Senator How much that
honor amounted to NAV be inferred from
the fact that in less than twenty -four
hours after his assurance To the contra
ry, Caldwell arose in the Senate and ten.
dered his resignation.
WHY CALDWELL RESIGNED.
The resignation Of Senator Caldwell
was occasionod by knowledge that many
Republican, senators would vote for Fer
rvs resolution of expulsion though it is
net certain that the necessary two third
vote would have beea secured therefor
1t is believed q majority might have been
obtained Caldwell did not desire to re.
main in the Senate with even \ minority
vote for expulsion, but prefe red to re
sign and refer the whole matter TO the
people Of Kansas. Caldwell will not re.
turn to Kansas for week or ten days.
CLAYTON.
The Senate has elected to proceed with
the Clay ton case the present session. The
final disposition OF the same may be east
ly predicted both from the report OF the
committee and the vote by which the
case was taken up. To day leading Scna
tors are OF the opinion that the debate
may last two or three days, and that
Clayton will be completely exonerated.
THE SOUTHERN POLICY.
The administration organ here to
morrow will officially announce, first,
that the president intends to make no ap
po.ntmen, in the South except from na
tive republicans, and second, that no
changes will be made Of present iucum-

DISPOSITION OF CLAYTON CASE.
PUT NOT YOUR TRUST IN SENATORS.

DISPOSITION OF CLAYTON CASE.
The case or Senator. Clayton was dis.
posel OF to day, notwithstanding the pro.
tests Of nearly a dozen Senator'S TO The
effect that, not having read the evidence
they were prepared neither to debate or
vote 1t i, not c.earjust what distinctions
ere made between this case and that Of
Caldwell The testimony, which is very
voluminous, certainly shows wider fed
Of corruption, and ten fold more corrupt
| schemes to secure Claytons ) election
The intrigue began in 1870, when, rs
governor Of Arkansas, he manipulated
the registrars of election so AS to secure
II legislature in his interest, that his
whole Administrations was bent to inhu
oncing the State officers to connve at
palpable frauds on the people, and that
beng under pledge, publicly and pri.
vatcly made to his political friends, that
he, if elected L S Senator, would not
cave the goyernorship in the hands of
Lieut. Gov Johnson, 4 conservative, he
eorruptly instituted, through his friends
and supporters, proceeding by ono par-
raafc 10 depose Johnson from Office, in
order to clear the way to the Senate ;
that being elected Senator while the qa0
Iorrdnto was pending, when that was de
cIded in favor of Johnson, he resigned
the senatorship, and afterwards securing
his reelection by inducing X J White
Secretary of State, in consideration of n
large sum OF money, to resign, and in.
ducing Mr., Johnson to take Mr. Whites
place, that he corrupty procured the
vote of many members of tho legislature
in support Of himself for the Senate by
paying money. by appointment of them
selves and friends to lucrative officers,
by granting to them and their friends
State aid TO railroads. in which they and
their friends are interested. In the de
bate to-day, these facts we're severely
commented upon by Sen tor Norwood,
but attracted no attention AT hardly a
time during the discussion were three
dozen Senators in their seats, and these
paid no attention to the proceedings.
Finally, when Norwood had finished, a
vote was demanded hy Senator Wright
on the resolution exoncrating Clayton.
The Democrats Immediately commenced
to protest against the speedy disposition
of this important case, especially as they
had had no time to examine the testi
mony. This having no effect, they then
generally abstained from voting, on the
ground that they eould not intclligcntly
do SO Carpenter, Conklng and Shurz
would not vote for the same reason. Out
| Of 81 Senators present 80 voted, being
but two more than a quorum There
we're 33 for CLAYTON and against, though

has been administered since the days of
