THE SPEAkkkS DECISION.
The Speaker said that at the last session he had
decided that mere proposition to investigate the
conduct Of public oficer, but which did not pro-
pose to impeach him. was not a matter OF privilege
under the rules OF the House or under the consul
tuition OF the United States. But the pending reSo
luton contained an impeachment The resolution
began with an impeachment and brought the reso-
luti0n within the scope OF privileged question.
Mr.. Reed (Me.l cOntended that In substance the
resolution was merely one for the purpose OF nves
tigat1ng certain specified matters. The commit
tee was directed to discover certain facts bug not
to base upon them articles OF Impeachment II
the resolution looked toward imDeachment, It
should 60 to the judiciary committee. but II the
Investigation simply had reference TO expendI-
Jure In the Department OF Justice, the committee
on that subject had charge OF It properly.
Mr. Cox N. ~ controyerted the point OF order
and the arguments submitted by Mr. Reed.
and called attention to the fact that In the case OF
secretary Beiknap the preliminary resolutions had
been referred to the committee on expenditures In
the War department.
The Speaker thought that under an previous
rulings the resolution presented matter Of prvtl-
ege, and the House could determine Tor ftsen how
far the investigation should be proceeded with and
what committee should have charge a t. He there
fore overTuled the point Of oroer.
