stituted an attempt to investigate into
personal affairs of citizens of the
United States; that they were not
within the jurisdiction of the senate
under the1 resolution empowering the

He also contended that the pro-

officials had completed their plans
for receiving Stewart, who was to
have been marched to the bar for such
punitive action as might be decreed
