TIDE COMMITTEE REPORT ADVERSELY T,A sly.
AToRIAL INVESTIGATION.
The committee on privileges and elections
to whom was referred the memorial of thirty.
seven members of the Missouri legislature in
regard to the election of Louis V. Begy to the
Senate of the United States from that state
have had the same under consideration, The
memorial sets forth that the recent examina-
ton by committee appointed by the house o,
representatives OF the legislature of Missouri
touching the corrupt use of money in the cleo
ton Of Mr.. Bogy was imperfect; that Ii was
not full and fair, and that, in the opinion of
the memOriaists, il the investigation had been
conducted with more vigor. and with purpose
OF revealing the real facts of the case other and
more important evidence would have been pro-
duced showing that there was corruption i'm
Mr.. Bogy's election. The memorial, however
does not state that additional facts can be
proved, nor indicate with any certainty the
character of the new evidence that NAV be
produced. The committee understa nd that Tia 2
only duty which they have upon this rcferen ce
is 10 report to the Senate whether the memo
rial presents such facts would justify the
senate in institutiDg an examination in regard
to the election of Mr.. BOgy, and of the
OF grave character, and should not be set on
foot without such a statement of the evidence
that could probably would appear to make
It the duty of the Senate to proceed to an in
vestigatiOn.
The evidence taken by the committee of the
legislature Of Missouri also accompanies the
memorial, and has been examined by the COM
Hittee IL Is not the province of the committee
upon this reference 10 inquire whether judg-
ment pronounced by the House of Representa-
tiyes OF the Missouri Legislature upon this evil
dehce was correct; but they express the opinion
that the evidence is not of a character to re-
quire of the Senate an investigation. The COM
mlttee therefore ask to be discharged from the
aIidne eots,deration OF the memorial and the
Bogy to the Senate of the United States.
