the whole on the legislature appropria-
ton bill.
The paragraph in relation to the
mileage Of United States marshals and
deputy marshals gave rise to long
discussion, in the course OF which, the
department Of justice was character
lied by Beck, Of Kentucky, Ms being
honor covered with frauds.
The western district of Arkansas anC
the district of North Carolina, were al
luded TO by Mr.. Speer, of Pennsylvania
as being run by political thieves, YAM
pires aud scouadrels.
Mr. Beck moved to strike out the
appropriation for the department OF
Justice, aud renewed h Is attack upon the
department, declaring that the attor'
ney general was more guilty man III
connection with the affairs of Louis
lana than Judge Durell himself who
had resigned and confessed hi
guilt. He charged that the de
partment of justice had appealed
from the decisions of the court o
claims in cotton cases and dismissed
appeals wherever the friend
Of the department were employed, ant
had had their fees arranged. That de
partment had used the army for tn
basest Of purposes, and was depar I
ment of injustice instead of a depart
ment of justice. When the prope
time come he would, If he got the op
portunity, make good what he had SAT-
about the attorney general and the de
partment of justice.
The senate, after receiving the king
went into executive session, and thel
