The chair decided that the motion wa
not in order now.
Mr.. Edmunds-"I shall undoubtedl'

Mr.. Beck inquired where Mr.. Edmunaa
had got
TIE THURMAN NATTER
that he read the other day.
Mr.. Edmunds replied From the com.
mittee minute book upon an order ot the
Senate, Withdrawing secresy from it. Per

Il can see o barn, reFlied Mr.. Beck,
but cannot see q fly 90 the barn door
without seeing the barn.
REPARrEE.
Mr.. Edmuads-Undoubtedly the Sena'

inclined 10 think he has not seen much
OF ANYTHING else. (Lsughter)

rUproarious laughter on the floor aud in
the galleries.
Mr.. Edmuads admitted this. The Sen
ator from Kentucky, hs said, regarded the
resolution, as he had nov discovered, as
device TO entrap the President and the
Attorley General into reporting
the official facts on file
which showed Duskin to &c ca improper
of;cer in order that they might be ooErel
led to report in other cases where they hac
rnsR on charges ou invitation
Of the Postmsster-GeGss2 os someoody
else, they were false and fabricated.
TIE POINT
was, therefore, that tie Administration was
going to be unveiled before the people BY
being entrspped into telling the truth about
q bad officer. That certainly Mr.. EdmundF
said, was an amazing attitude for the ad'
to occupy, and no took II
that the SsnSto- FROM Kentucky rePresent

asked 10 assist ID Esroving
an officer, and because we asked .eI
official information in order to De able 10

where an accused otEces lad been accused

would be brought into r9
proach. II will leave the position just
there" concluded Mr.. Edmunds, who then
moved an executive session.
