Senator Riddlesercer Exn,a,ns.

In the Senate yesterday Mr.. Riddleberger
SAID that some remarks of his on Wednesday
had been construed to be offensive, personally,
to some senators and especially ITO the senator
from North Carolina" Ifany thing that could
be so construed was pointed out to Mr.. Riddle
berger In the Record he would be glad to erase
1t before the revised edition of the Record was
printed. His only object had been to protest
against the admission of professional lobbyists

THE speech made by Mr.. Reed in the
House yesterday was fitting rebuke of
conduct rarely paralleled in baseness. For
the pensions commissioner to take defama.
tory afIldavits from the files of his Office
and peddle them out to be read in the
House, where the slandered parties could
make no reply,was vile performance. The
reading Of such documents was simply dis
graceful to the readers.

THE EADs SHIP RAILWAY.
Views and Objections Submitted by the
Minority of the House Committee.


The views of the minority of the COM
mittce on commerce in relation to the bill
to,incorporate the Atlantic and Pacific rail-
way, submitted to the House yesterday by
Mr.. Crisp, of Georgia, include the follow
ing sentences.
We do not believe that under the constltu.
tion OF the United States Congress has any
power TO grant charter TO n foreign corpora
tion existing under the laws of u foreign coun-
try and operating exclusively therein. II Con.
grCsS has such power we do not believe II
should be exercised in the adoption of
measure which would practically require the
United states to guarantee the political in
tcgrity of a foreign country, and such we be.
lieyc II to be. If there be no constitutional
objection to this measure, and no public
policy which iorbids its adoption, then we
must look TO the so.Called concessions granted
by the republic of MeX.cj to Capt. Eads for
the measure of our rights and powers in the
premises. Capt. Eads and his associates have
already, by this concession from Mexico, Il
chartei. 1t isdoubtful if we have any right to
grant him another. The granting of n charter
well lie enjoyed without 1t except the rcduc.
tion In tolls on American vessels. and that can
be provided for as well in contract rs In an
act of incorporation. We can see no purpose
in seeking this charter from the United States
unless II be TO pledge us to the protection of
the enterprise, and to that we object.
The minority also calls attention to the
discrimination in favor of Mexico and
against the United States, contained In the
concession and the bill reported by the ma
jory. And, in conclusion, say:
We regard this proposition as one granting n
the public % fcasy @ 90 T for the fHS Senet 5S
ofa private corporation located or to operatc
exclusively in foreign country, without any
corresponding benefit to our country or peo-
