stands that nothing can be more absurd,
even if the penalty were to be S230,OOO, than
to talk about his wanting time to perfect his
bond. He wants no more time to perfect 1t
than is necessary to transact the fOrmalities
of the business. That is what think ought
To be done and therefore i am somewhat
restiye under this iterated outcoming in be-
half of the pensioners, as if we who stand
here to challenge the fitness OF this extra
ordinary legislation were not the friends OF
the soldiers, of the crippies, or the mourn
ers OF the war!
Now sir, one other word as am on my
feet. / have heard great deal said here
about arraigning the President OF the
United States. have not arraigned the
President. / conceive there is something
vastly more important at stake than ar:
raienipp the President ! have not intended
to do it either openly or in disguise and
will rive the assurance to the Senate that on
every occasion and on every topic when
think it is my duty to arraign the Presi-

the part Of either body. The nominee has
chosen in the presence OF an approaching
quarter day to allow three weeks to elaPs<
without filing his bond. For that laches OF
his part must say l think some explains
lion would be appropriate. Probably ar
explanation can be made. He may have
been absent; there may have been some &C
currence or casualty which will account fol
that. 1t is not necessary to arraign evel
him. Certainly have not intended to Ar
raign either of his official chiefs in the re

the last that here is an infracfion Of . sys

what must deem petty and inadequate

sand poor people to 60 hungry while we are
wrangling here.
Mr.. BLAINE. On whom would that
responsibility lie?
Mr.. HERMAN. do not care on whom !;
no, on me. They should not be made to go
hungry because somebody or other failed to
do his duty.
Mr.. BLAINE. No, but somebody or
other may be compelled TO do his duty in
order that they may not be hungry.
Mr.. KIRKWOOD. How will you COM
pei it? :,
Mr.. HOAR. 1t is to-day, believe, the
9th of February. do not believe any
Senator can suggest any possible method by
which these fourteen thousand pensioners
can be paid on the 4th Of March, as the facts
now exist, except by the passage OF tins
bill. 1t is Just bill in its general princi-
ples. it seem 10 me after hearing the dis
cnssion. 1t is true it permits smaller
bond to be given by person VINO
is to hold the Office for few days
than il TO be given BY . person who is
TO hold it for few years. Does ANYBODY
doubt that in his own town he could name
a hundred men whom he could put INTO
bank, il the cashier suddenly died, without
any bond at all, and allow them to run that
bank for twenty days, OF whom, if they were
to be appointed permanently to the Office OF
cashier, heavy bond would be required
The per.ou who is q permanent officer Is
surrounded by his own clerks, by his own
accounting officers, BY his own creatures,
per.ons with whom he has had an opPortu-
nitv to make friendship, and in that way
dishonesty and defalcation become possible
but when he goes to another sphere OF duty
for a few days, to take possession OF such
place. going in among strangers, there Is NO
opportunity to organize, to concert, or to
csrry through any defalcation- Now, then
the case comes exactly to this point: Sup,
Dosine il to be conceded that this was bad
appointment and supposing it to be conceded
that the Executive ought long before thi:
to have sent in . new appointment and
revoked that one because Of the failure ol
the Official to procure hi. bond soon, and
that there has been great dereliction Of duty
