THE MORRILL, REPORT

The report Of the Committee of which
Senator Morrill, Of Maine mot Vermont
as some papers have iD was Chairman,
upon the Credit AIobilier matter, though
made too late to be acted npon by the
Senate, is received by the public as 4 fair,
honest and faithful disposal of the Wort;
for which the Committee was appointed.
The New York Post says it ''Wil be re-
''ceived with general favor on account of
Its republican honesty" The Tribune is
not only satisfied but delighted with the
report. That paper goes 50 far as to say
at is clean, ringing, vigorous. There's
mo nonsense about it. 1t sums up the
Testimony with judicial fairness, states
d" its deliberate conclusions without
"shuilling Or evasion and crowns it all
with Judgment terse, sharp, unequivocal.
"Whcn we consider the organization oil
1.-THE Senate, its traditional esprit dc corps,
1.-The terms of friendship and intimacy
existing between its members, and the
''fact that Senator Paterson was rather
popular among his associates. with u
''high reputation as scholarly gentleman
"of ability and integrity, the conscien-
'.tious fairness will be appreciated.

five Senators were considered, Messrs.
Logan of Illinois. Conkling of New York

committee report that he is not shown
to have been connected with the scandal

took some shares of the Credit Mobiier
stock and received dividends thereon, but
as soon as he became informed of the ma
ture of the transaction he promptly an
nulled the bargain TO the last penny OF

President elect, was also the victim oil

amends by repaying all tae moneys re-
ceived, but the committee declare tina, the

HONOR 70 SPEAKER BLAINE.

a
Speaker Blaine added another to the
many marks of favor which he has fairly
won in the Credit Mobilier business, by
his prompt decision in the House on Friday
against the right Of members to vote on
question afiectin g the Union Pacific Rail-
road while holding stock in the road
The House was in Committee of the whole
with Mr.. Dawes in the Chair, debating the
Senate amendment to the Appropriation
bill affecting transportation on the Union
Pacific, when Mr. Holman of Indiana pro.
posed to amend the amendment by de.
priving the Company Of the right to
appeal to.the Court of Claims for the re-
covery Of the money withheld and claim
ed to be due them A vote was taken
and it appeared that the amendment was
not accepted. The report of the suisse
quent proceedings is as follows in the
Herald correspondence:
Therenpon Holman made it a point of or
der that q gentleman from Massachusetts,
Mr.. Samuel Hooper, deeply interested in the
| Union Pacific stock, had voted in the mega
tive. which was contrary to the rules of the
| House. Dawes again got considerably con.
fused; exercised his right with the gavel
| while with his left he ,ussled with his Hype-
rion curls. All the raps on the Speakers ia
BILE only served to arouse the democratic
spirits, and right then and there it was to be
settled whether the Union Pacific Railroad
Company did control the House. In vain
did Dawes explain his ruling; twenty voices
it was not within the province of the House
to question the personal possessions of mem
! hers but ii was matter of conscience be-
, tween those 10 whom the rule applied and
their Judge. Holman insisted that the rec
ords of the House showed Mr.. Hooper to he
+ a very large stockholder, yet his vote was
decidedly in favor of his own interest," point
made by the Poland committee against Mr..
Brooks. Garfield the author of the mischief,
/ asked that the committee rise and report the
> point made 10 the House Speaker Blaine
resumed his place and Dawes the complaint
Blaine's decision rung out in silvcry tones
, sustaining fully the point made on the demo-
cratic side. "The case Of the national banks
had been alluded to as barring the right to
vote; but the banking interest was nation
al one, ard not separate or distinct one
. from the pubic interests, as railroads were.
, In this he believed he Was sustained by the
! decisions Of previous Speakers, and ruled
that if any member held stock in any road
I affected by the amendment he had no right to
vote" Sam Randall exclaimed, s'Mr. Speak
er, that decision does you honor" Hooper
: then asked leave to explain. While sitting
at his desk, busily engaged writing letter,
the Chairman of the Committee on Appropri-
atoms, Mr.. Garfield, asked him to vote yea
and pass between the tellers. Sensation
He was not aware on what subject he was
voting, as he had not been watching the pro-
ceediDgs, and would now withdraw his vote

The point of the report in regard to Mr..
Patterson is that he attempted TO evade
