The debate on the Judiciary report, pre-.
scented by Mr. Edmunds to the senate, was
closed Oh. Thursday for the democrats by
Senators VOORHEES, and Call and for the re-
publicans by Senators Eyarts and ingalls,.
What ever of interest attached 10 the contro'
versy at the outset has died out, The senate
galleries now remain empty throughout the
debate, and the daily papers give the most
meagre account Of the speeches made. The
prevailing opinion, both at the capital and
elsewhere, is that the President has decidedly
the advantage of the obstinate senators, and
that no matter whether the resolutions of cen
sure are passed, or not, public opinion will
support him in the position he has assumed
on the rights and perogat.yes of the execu
tive Office.

the report of the committee that was to look

.'Tish," Brother Seaman! be quiet, bend
low and listen; the report is out and the
prolonged suspense of your people can cease
and the aconies Of their mental gymnastics
end. 1t is found that the county is yet a
debtor to late States Attorneys Mayo and
Brewer, and tina. owing TO States Attorney
Moloney not having presented hisyearly re
port as yet. there is due from him to the
county but fifteen dollars, while the county
is indebted to the states attorney five
hundred dollars. We trust that no serious
damage has resulted to the good people Of
Mendoza for having been compelled TO hold
their breath during the investigation of this
serious matter.
