MIR. MASON's POSITION.

Some discussion and controversy hav-
ing arisen in relation to the position of
Mr.. Mason, the delegate from Jefferson
county, IN relation to the impeachment
proceedings, n reporter of the REGISTER
called upon that gentleman last Saturday
night and elected the following EXPIRES
sion of his views:
Mr. Mason says that from the
beginning of this controversy he has
maintained that Treasurer Burdett ought
to be and if tho case bo properly man
aged will be- convicted; and that tho
case against Auditor Bennett will fail,
if forced before tbs Senate. That the
prosecution ought to be conducted by
Democratic managers, because Demo-
Gratis should purge their own party and
not turn the job over to Republicans.
He says that the Board of Mana
gers originally consisted of four
Democrats, two Republicans and one In
dependent Neither Blakemore nor
Welch attended any meeting Of the
Board, nor paid any attention to
the investigation that was mad. Mr..
Mason was thus left in committee of
which the republicans had majority,
and MS efforts to make fair investiga-
tion were hampered; his counsels were
dsregarded, and he found that he could
not agree with the conclusions of the
committee. Finding THAI he could not
act under Republican dictation in what
appeared to bs scheme to furnish party
capital to the Radical faction, he had re-
signed his position as one of the Board
of Managers.
He says further that he is convinced
from the testimony adduCed before the
committee, that the charges of bribery,
conspiracy aud extortIon cannot be sus-
tanned beiorethe Senate The investigation
of these charges will involve the sum.
moning of an immense number of wit
ncsses and occasion an enormous expense.
Believing that no such case can
be made out, he was averse
to suhjecting the State to this unnecessary
outlay, and hence had voted against
those articles of impeachment IN which
these otienses were charged.
In his opinion the only question in
tho case is, whether it is an impeachablc
otfense for an officer to receive large
presents from persons interested in the
performance of his official duty. He
says that, in legal aspect, if a specific
crime is alleged, no demurrer would be
interposed, but ifthe general charge of
receiving presents to influence the officer
in the discharge of his duty be made,
demurrer would be entertained, and the
chances of the success Of tho prosecution
would be enhanced.

views on the insurance fees. He did not
do this to reflect upon Mr.. MATHEWS, for
whom he had high personal regard,
but simply to shit the blame from his
own shoulders. He then closed with q
beautiful peroration. At night the large
Washington Hall was filled to its utmost
capacity and doubtless Mr.. Coop telt
very much complimented that SO many
of his fellow citizens turned out to hear
HIM in what his friends regard the great
effort of his life. Ii is to be regretted
that the gallant Captain from Wetzel
did not have an opportunity to speak
while there was such n bevy of beautiful
raA;os r,~osort 10 havo st;r'"l-tod hi.-.
At the close Of Mr.. GooD's speech,
Mr.. DEPUE moved the previous qucS-
tion. which was sustained Mr. JACK
SON, of Wood, demanded the ayes and
noes. The vote is recorded in another
column, and stood, ayes %, noes SO. So
the motion failed.
Mr.. REYNOLDS, of Taylor, then offered
a substitute for the report Of the COM
mittcc. which was rejected. A good deal
of ilnbustcring then came of, INDUCED
in by these gallant bushwhacEcrs, MA
SON. JACKSON, CAMPBELL, and STUART,
and was kept up tor nearly two hours
before vote was taken on the first arti-
Gle. Mr., Mason voted in the negative
on this article. The vote stood,
ayc- 81. noes -. The vote on
,he remaining articles stood about
the same. Mr.. Mason defined his posi-
tion to be: First, An unwillingness to
have this impeachment managed by Re
publicans, as it would be their policy to
keep it hanging for a campaign docu-
ment; second, opposed to impeachlng the
Auditor; third, thinks that gift taking in
office is not bribery, but an impeachabie
offence, and the distinctions are SO nice
that he would like to have the case tried
in order to settle these distinctions. But
rs he was not permitted to amend the
articles against the Treasurer 50 MS to
make the charges accord with his yiews
he would vote against them,
The scene in the House during the
flIibusters' war was very evciting, and

manded alike by the State, the Democ-
racy and the officer accused. We under
stand it can be easily refuted, still Mr..
Good claimed that he cold substantlate
it, and if SO, the opportunity should be
given him to do so, while the accused
should also have an opportunity to dis
prove.
For these reasons We can appreciate
the action of the House, and do
anticipate good from the de-
termination to further consider
the impeachment articles, and 10 permit
thorough investigation by the Senate
of all points which shall be regarded BY
the Hnuea as Of srfRcian. Importance 10
Justify the cost of the trial.
But we repeat what we have always
demanded. that while we desire to see
the interests of the State fully protected,
at the same time impartial justice shall
be meted out, and this trial shall neither
be conducted in spirit of partisan
malevolence nor the parties involved be
pronounced guilty before conviction, AS
heretofore

rumor that | was interested in r distll

was circulated in st. Louis by
corrupt officers and guilty distillers

spring, obviously for the purpose of
breaking the force of the proceedings
against them. SO long as the matter
rested in mere street rumor or IN the
columns of the newspapers friendly to
the ring, | could not properly take notice
of it, but now that it has been dragged
into Court, as appears, at the instance OF
the indicted officials, deem it proper to
request that ever person whose name
has been, orican be given you as having
knowledge Of such alleged facts shall be
brought before the grand jury and sub
jectcd to the most rigid examination.
The statement is absolutely and unquali-
tiedly false, so fur rs it affects me, but
do not desire to allow the mat
ter to rest upon my denial. | beg
to repeat the request heretofore
communicated to you that these frauds
on the Government shall beprobed TO the
