Clashes With Grosvenor.

 Clashes With Grosvenor.
 A clash between Mir Grosvenor and MT. Palmer resulted from MT. Grosvenor's 8 justification of Judge Swayne for taking $10 a day expense money.
 MT Palmer said the whole judiciary committee, including the members sign ing the minority report, had agreed on the construction of the statute that only the amount actually expended should be taken by a judge as expense money. And any man who has the pretense of being a lawyer, and who has two grains of gray matter in his head, knows that that construction is right" asserted MT. Palmer.
 'The utterance of the gentleman from Pennsylvania Is characteristic of this en- tire prosecution, and of his entire career in this case,'' retorted MT. Grosvenor. Tn the end of the prosecution he will ascer- tain where the gray matter is."
 Mir. Overstreet reported the postoffice appropriation bill.
 MT Cochran of New York lamented that the proceedings might not have proceed ed along non partisan lines. Strange as it may seem," he continued, ''the first part is an argument coming from the out side. It comes from the bench itself" This, he said, was the reason for extend ing the operation of the Houses scrutiny There was, he said, a vast difference be- tween an impeachment and indictment. a fact which the House seemingly had forgotten No law of evidence binds an impeachment proceeding. as Is the case with an indictment. Mir. Cochran took issue with the majority report of the committee on the expense account charged. That was a matter too high or too low to warrant such emphasis. Tt is hardly necessary to inquire whether he eats corned beef and, cabbage at 50 cents a plate, or leg of lamb at 60 cents. How is the statute to be interpreted? Is he required to spend the whole S10 each day or may he husband his resources and spend s7 one day when he may be sui fering with dyspepsia and s13 the next in gluttony? If this be so. he has still time with the pleasure of heaven to eat him self even with the government
 He could by consuming terrapin, can vas-back duck and other delicacies bring himself up."
 Reverts to Pardee Letter.
 Mir. Cochran passed over the contempt charges as unimportant He mentioned the charge of non-resdence as a grave one. and then reverted to the letter of Judge Pardee which had been read to the House earlier in the day at the instance of Mir. Grosvenor
 'I did not believe it conceivable that a judge would unuertake to control the action of an independent body on proceeding itself judicial. Now, think of it, the monstrous spectacle of judge. himself a member of the department which we are now scrutinizing. stepping

into this House with an attempt to con- trol our action. -en I state that I de- scribe a spectacle which ought to make us pause; which indicates in a marked degree the decay of our constitutional system.
 Sir, suppose when the case of Senator Burton was pending before the supreme court of the United States, the Senate had passed a resolution declaring that Senator Burton was d model of virtue and senatorial courtesy, and that his prosecution was an act of indefensible hostility on the part of some government department. Would not a thrill of horror have run through the entire country? Yet how would such action by the Senate differ from this action of this judge at tempting to control this, the grand in- quest of the nation, In dealing with member of that judiciary. I do not call attention to the character of the letter, but the character of the transaction it. self
 tHow can this Judge Pardee ever ask a man arraigned at the bar what word has he to say why sentence for an of- fense against the revenue laws should not be pronounced upon him? Could not a criminal quote this language of Judge Pardee and say that the law imposing revenue duties was immoral and should not be enforced Why cannot he say to Judge Pardee, You must not hold me to a rigid compliance of law which think is restrictive of human liberty. Is this judge fit to administer justice again, now that he himself has discred- ited prompt and quick obedience to the the law by judge who is sworn to ad- minister it?''
 Asks Us to Share Perjury.
 And we have another judge,' con tinued MT. Cochran. with superior claim to enlighten our conscience quoted by the gentleman from Ohio as a man before whom we should all bend, coming in here, and sir. I say with little short of horror, that he comes in here with preju- diced lips and asks us to share his per- jury and his loyalty.
 "A republican legislature should not impeach a republican. What a tribute he pays to you, gentlemen, on the other sidel
 Are we to be diverted from a known conscientious dispatch of our duty by a man clothed in the ermne of a judge, turns that robe into the costume of harlequin. and dancing across this floor invites us to perjure our souls and vio- late the constitution?'
 MT. Cochran was followed by Mir Nevin of Ohio in brief explanation of his po- sition as a member of the judiciary com mittee. who was opposed to impeach- ment.
 Mir. Lamar of Florida repelled the charge contained in the Pardee letter that the state of Florida had a political griev- ance against Judge Swayne. The Pardee letter injected the political issue into the case. Outside of this he knew the state of Florida had good case against Judge Swayne However. he said he believed Judge Pardee to be honest and said he stood high in Louisiana and Florida.
 At 5.3s n. m. the House adjourned.

N|EDRINGHAUS IS ELECTED SENATOR Wins Over CockreII by Majority
 of Eight REPUBLICANS ALL IN LINE The Two Branches of .he Legislature Will Meet in Joint Session and
 Officially Cast Ballots
 for Senator.
REPUBLICANS ALL IN LINE

Jefferson City, Mo, January 1I-Thom- as K Niedringhaus of St. Louis. today received a majority of the total vote cast in both houses of the Missouri legisla- trre for United States Senator to succeed F. M. cockrell. He received a majority or eight on joint ballot.
 The voting today ia both houses re- suited as follows:
 House: Niedringhaus, 79; Cockrell, 5S; Kerns. 1; Bittinger, l.
 Senate; NiedringhaLs, Il; Cockrell, 22
 Total Niedringnaus 90; Cockrell, 80; Kerns. 1; Bittinger, l.
 Under the law, todays voting does not finally elect senator The official bal loting will be done tomorrow when both branches of the general assembly will meet in joint session.
 With the exception of the two votes for Kerns and Bittinger, the republicans had all their forces in line for Niedringhaus, the caucus nominee, despite the rumors that seven of the members of the House would bolt. Representative Grace, who introduced the resolution that resulted in the appointment of a committee to inves- tigate the campaign contributions of Thomas K. Niedringhaus, and who was accounted an adherent of R. C.. Kerns, seconded the speech nominating Med ringhaus. He announced also that he spoke in behalf of MT. Kerns and his ad- herents.
 Special Order of Business.
 Exactly at noon Speaker Hill in the House announced that the voting for United States Senator was special order of business, and that it would take prece- dence over the voting on the adoption or rejection of the majority and minority reports of the investigating committee.
 MT. Whitaker of Hickory immediately arose and denied in emphatic language a published report that he had attended a caucus at the residence of R. c. Kerns in St. Louis Saturday night, at which seven men were alleged to have pledged themselves to secure the defeat of Med ringhaus, the republican caucus nom inee.
 Representative W. R. Self of Green county placed Niedringhaus in nomina- tion. He was cheered when he said that the man he would name would receive the entire vote of the republican member ship.
 All eyes were turned on Representa- tive Grace of St. Louis, who had pre- sented the resolution calling for the in- vestigation of Niedringhaus as he arose and said: "I dare do all that becomes a nan. In behalf of Col R. c. Kerns and his gallant friendns I take pleasure in seconding the name of Thomas K. Med ringhaus."
