washington Notes.

General Baum, Of Illinois, has been
nominated BY the President and confirmed
by the Sepate as Commissioner Of Inter
nal Revenue, vice Congressman McDOu-
gall, who refused to accept.
A caucus OF Republican Senators was
held yesterday morning, and tho indica-
tious are that the River and Harbor bill
will either so over without action or DO
rejected. !,
The Senate was principally occupied
in hearing the arguments OF Mr.. Carpen:
ter for the defense and Of Manager Lord
for the Government in the Belknap i'm
peachment. The speeches seemed 70 turn
almost entirely on the jurisdiction oi the
Senate in the case, and the effect oil the
vote Of that body in the initiation OF the
trial.
The Senate will proceed to final vote
on the guilt or innocence Of the defendant
to-day. One more impedlment to the
consummation OF useful legislation will
then have been removed.
The House, after the trahsaction Of
some ,inimportant business, adjourned'l ]
The minority Of the Committee on
Naval Investigations, Messrs. Harris,
Danford and Hays, presented their views
10 the House yesterday, severely arraign-
ing the majority report. They charge that
It is unfair in statement, fallacious in
conclusions and evidently impregnated
with partisan spirit; that it ignores testi-
mony favorable to the department and
peryerts other Testimony SO as 10 inffict
gross injustice on thelsecsetaryand other
ofieersf $ 9 !, y
The minority set forth that at no time
has the Navy been in more effective con-
dition than at present; also that the po'
litical influence exercised in the Navy
Yard appointments is an evil which orig
mated with and has been fostefed by all
Democratic administrations, and that
only under Republican administration
has any effort been made to check the
evil; and that these appointments are due
TO the .inauence.of 'members Of Congress-
rather than to the Secretary! ~

what authority the report had been pre-.
pared, the matter having never been
brought to the attention Of the committee.
To this question the chairman replied,
~ recognize my political friends on the
committee and have consulted them only"
and proceeded 10 read the report. Dur
ing the reading Of it it became apparent
it had been already agreed 10 and passed
on by the majority Of the committee; its
reading having consumed the entire day
Of the 18th. The Republican members
OF the committee on the next day pro-
posed 10 take up the subject and discuss
and amendit. This proposition was vot-
ed down by party vote in the committee.
This depriving the minority Of any intlu.
ence in discriminating the conclusions and
character Of the report Of the committee
OF which they were members, a report 80
likely TO be in some measure but reflex
OF the political sentiments OF its authors,
adapted to what they deem the political
necessities Of their party. II is in fact
partisan document made on the eve ot a
great political contest and is designed for
political effect.
The report itself, as we have said, is in
perfect consonance with the investigation,
both in manner and spirit. Throughout
Its whole length the facts and figures are
perverted, and parties misrepresented;
everything is assumed against the De.
partment and the Secretary and nothing
In their favor. Ad eaptandum statements
and assumptions are given as facts, while
the testimony which wholly refutes them
is entirely ignored. The speculations Of
single witnesses who are supposed to es.
tablish some wrong or abuse are quoted,
while The sworn and legal testimony OF
many, which contradicts and destroys
these speculations, is never mentioned.
The ssmalignant :givings out OF ma
licious enemies are assumed as true,
while the testimony Of honest witnesses
is garbled and wrested from its intended
meaning. Throughout the report, every
single thing which has occurred during
the last seven years, with which the ma.
jority think they can find fault, is charac-
terized as great abuse and fraud, and
every exercise Of legal authority about
which they can find room for doubt or dis
sent Is declared TO be violation OF law.
