THE 6REAT DEBATE.


SExArE---Mr. Thurman introduced
requesting the President to
inform the Senate of the interference
by military forces in the organization
of the Louisiana House. and .sby what
authority such military Intervention
and interference have taken place.
Mr.. Conkling suggested that it would
be better to preserve the customary
phraseoiogy Of such resolutions. by in
serting the words. IF in his judgment
it is not incompatible with public in
terest."
Mr.. Thurman did not agree with Sen
ator Conklng As to the propriety Of
inserting the words suggested. This
question did not relate to any foreign
power. If it did, then it would Be
proper to insert those words. 1t was
not for the Senate to submit TO the
opinion or judgment of the President
1t was proper that the Senate should
know the facts. Il was not a case
where the information would interfere
with warlike movements, although the
late trouble had the appearance Of war.
1t WAS not = war made BY the people.
He would not say who did make the
war, but would wait for the Facts in the
case.
Mr.. Conkling said the Senator from
Ohio seemed - think that he distin-
guished this ease from AL ether by
observing that the topic did not con-
cern our relations With : foreign power.

The Canal 70 Lake superior.

The Saltwater Messenger (Rep.)
says:
1t is matter of the greatest sur
prise to US that any intelligent person,
who is interested in the development Of
the State, should for a moment favor
the proposed canal from the mouth Of
the Wisconsin river, below Prairie du
Chen, to Green Bay, to the neglect of
far more practicable route through
our own State, which will confer some
practical benefit upon every Minncso-
tian, while the Wisconsin route will be
Of no benefit whatever to Minnesota.
Though there is railroad now in
operation between Winona and Green
Bay, it is found to be cheaper to ship
wheat from Winona to this city in
barg~s, thence by rail to Duluth. and
thence by steamer to Buffalo, than over
the Green Bay railroad to Lake Mich
igan and thence to Buffalo. though the
formV route involves an additional
handSng and an additional elevator
charge. As far as any practical bene
fits are concerned, Minnesota farmers
are as well OF to-day without canal
to the great lakes as they
will be when the Fox and
Wisconsin route is completed. But
with the St. Croix canal constructed
hundreds of thousands Of dollars which
now 60 to the railroads annually in ex-
tortionate freights will be retained by
the farmers.
A saving Of ten cents = bushel in
freights will double the wheat farmers
profits. His profits being duobled; the
value of his land will be greatly in.
| creased. But no Minnesota farmer
need expect any such results or any por-
ton of them from the construction Of
the Wisconsin route. If the St. Croix
canal project is not set in motion now,
Minnesota need expect no relief from
extortionate freights for at least score
Of years.

PACIFIC MAIL INVESTIGATION

WASHINGTON. Jan. 6.-After the Sc
cret session Of the committee Of ways
and meang Charles Albert was exam
ined. He testified he was an agent or
attorney for the Pacific Mail steamship
company, from 1850 to 1872. In this
capacity he commenced the application
for an increased subsidy
in December, 1871. and
managed the case until the first part Of
February, 1872, when he was superccd-
ed by Irwin, but thereafter acted as
Twins counsel and disbursing agent.
The disbursements were made between
the second Of February and the first Of
July, and aggregated between 100000
and Sl25.OOU. Witness received $780,
600 Of this amount from Irwin person
ally, in New York, May 9th, 1872, in
checks signed either by Bel
lows or Stockwell. Witness's
agreement with Stockwell
was oral and related only to witness's
own personal services. For these he
received $1,000 cash, and was to re-
ceive $1,000 more in case Of success;
but. being superseded, he had none for
this latter account. He subsequently
received from Irwin between 5000
and ~ 900 for his services. Witness.
under Irwin's directions. disbursed
money in Washington to fifteen or
thirty different persons. some
Of them residents Of Washing
ton and some not. Witness
took receipts for all payments and sent
receipts to Irwin in California. Wit
ness, in view Of his relation to Irwin,
as counsel, and Twins refusal to ans-
wer similar questions, said he felt COM
PEELED At present to decline to give
the names Of persons to whom
he made thee payments Under
Twins directions. He desired to state.
however, that not cent Of the amount
disbursed BY him Was paid BY any
agreement, or understanding, or ex-
pectation that it would even reach any
member Of Congress"
The witness is Twins uncle, and has
written to Reverdy johnson for advice.
