people-men wbo aeek to have thelr own way-and
I tell you plalnly that lt takes a real man to
gov.rn the people of the Unlted States."
lt was hoped. said Mr. Hltt, that an examinatlon
would reveal some mltlgatlng features of the case.
that thev had mcrely an BCad* mic importance. Hut
li.v.sttgatlon had shown that Mr. Hayard lad
apoken wlth dellberatlon and bltterneaa. mallgntni?
more than half of hla ('"'^trymr-n. We were all
wounded by the utteranees, and yet when Mr. Bay
ard was called upon to explaln. and hls reply had
been sent to the House In response to its reqiiest,
lt was found that he .lustlfled them. aasertlng that j
no rule of the Department had been vlolated by .
hlm. "Thlnk of lt." passionately ex'dtt|mrd Mr. |
Hltt. "of an iBBliaaaaillir to Kngland quotlng tho I
bare letter of a rule of the Department to rcgulate
the aetlons and attltude of all Its employes. even
to the loweat consular ofllcer, and pleadlng that lt ;
had not been vlolated."
Mr. Lowell. sald Mr. Hltt. a predecessor of Mr.
Bavnrd. a K> ntleman of some dlstinctlon, npon
thls same t..,.lc sald: "It Is a rule wlth us not to
dlseuaa famlly affalrs be/ore strangcrs." (Applause.)
He dellvered. wblle holdlng the post fllled by Mr.
Bayard an addraas on "Democracy," but he dld
not descerjd to any partlsan posltlon In regard there- ]
to but dtscusaea lt as a Natlonal affair. and when .
he had conct'uderl no one of hla hearera could tell
from hla rernark* whether he was a Hepubllcan or
a Demoerat. aa we understand those names. The |
offence of Mr. Hayard lay ln the slander he apoke
agalnat hls own people. not ln the sincerity of the
vlews he entcrt.ined.
Mr. Hltt said that the press of hls own country
had unanlmeu.ly denounced Mr Hayard, wblle the .
BCn.llsh press fclt compelled to excuse If not to :
apologlre for hlm. "The Times." of I.ondon. sald
thal such a sper-ch as that at Edinburgh would not ,
have be.n dellvered by a Kuropean dlplomat. and .
even ln the case of Mr. Hayard lt was surprlslng. ;
The mlnorlty of the commttt.-e, Mr. Hltt sald.
malntalned in thelr report that the propoaed actlon
was unwarrantcd and unprecedented. That It was ,
unprecedented. Mr. Hltt der.led. He asserted that
the Presldent hlmst-lf had by hls power drlven
through the Houaa a reaolutlon practlcally oen- .
surlng n Minister of thls country (referrir.g to tho
Hawallan matter). The resolutlon was passed over
tho prlvntc protest. of Democrats who had told hlm
that they voted for lt solely beeauss it lay so close ,
to the heart of the presldent.
M'CREARY Jt'STIFJF.S BATARD.
Mr. Hltt revlewed the cases where censure had
Been visited upon Minist.-rs to .ubataattat. hla
assertion that lt was no new thing. Mr. Hltt was \
not in good physlcal eondltlon. and hls volce gave \
out after he had spoken less than half an hour. j
He was foliowed by Mr. McCrtary (Dem., Ky). la i
opposition to the resolutlons.
Mr. McCreary declared that no diplomatic offlcer j
had ever in the past been censured or condemned
ln the House of Representatlves for fre.dom of
.peech. I'nder the Constltution the House has no
authority whativrr to condemn or censure dlplo?
matlc representatives. On the contrary, the Con?
atltutlon providea that the Fresldent shall bave
power, bv and with tbe advice and eons.-nt of the
Benate, to nomlnate and appolnt Ambassadors and
other public Islntater. and Conaula Th.- House
mlght as well censure a Judge of the Supreme |
Court of tbe l'nlted States for a declslon rendered
bv him. or a Unlted States Senator for a speech
m'ade by hlm, as to censure a diplomatic ofllcer for
hls utterances. Since the organizatlon of our Gov?
ernment the Presldent of the l'nlted States has
controlled our dipkumit'.e offlcers. and he eommis
alona them. after they are confirmed by the Senate,
to hold offlce durlng the pleasure of the Pre.l8.nt.
He recalls them or removes them or reprlmands
them when in his Judgment It ls deemed proper.
\mbassador Bavard was not the ilrst dlplomatlc
offlcer representing the Unlted States who had been
assaded bv hls oppon.-nts while representing the
I'nlted States in England. Martln \an Huren was
assalled. and lt helped to open the way for hlm to
be Yice-Presidcnt and Presldent of the t nlted
States. The attack on Jame* Buchanan while
Minister to Great Britatn helped to eleot hlm Presl?
dent ln 1S56. A vote of censure on Mr. Hayard
mlght prove a garland of dlstinctlon whlch would
open the way to hlm for hlgher offl.es and greater
honors.
Ml ASKS FOR THANKS. N< 'T CBNBVRB.
The people of the I'nlted States, Mr. McCreary
declared. were behind Mr. Hayard in hls opposition
to protectlon and trusts. The people knew that Mr. j
Bayard had proved hlmaelf a putriot. s states
man anJ a falthful publlc servant; that he had been ,
consplcuous for many years as Unlted States S- n
.tor and falthful an.l able as a Cablnet ofllcer;
that he had fllled th* great offlce of AmbaaaadOT
Of the Cnlted States In Kngland wlth ability anl
honor; that he had won the respect ami regard or
the Enfliah-ajx-Jklng people; that he had .lone much
to promote good wlll and frlendahtp between tne
people of Great Hrltaln and the I'nlted ritat.-s; that
he had added to the reputation and Uaportanc. ol
our great country abroa 1. an.l hai by a long llfe Ol
u'efulneea at home and falthful servlce abroad ?
earned. not the censure, but tlie thanks of the Amer?
ican people. _
Even lf there were Representatlves ln Congress
who belleved that Mr. Hayard had been guilty of
an Indiscretion or iniproprlety they shoild not com
mit a greater indl.cretlon or Isaproprlety by mak?
lng an unwarrantcd lntruslon upon the rights or
prerogatlves of the Presldent, and by .1 ung thal
whlch would echu thr.ugh Europ. as well as througn
our own country. an-.l cauae the people to ask what
the standard of public decorum in America waa,
and what had caused the House oi Repreaentatlve.
of the l'nlted States to assunie authority and | ?wet
whlch lt was not entltled to. and Whlch h.is never
been aasumed before. Besldes. to censure Mr. Hay?
ard at thlS tlme would be detrlmental te the cor
dlal and pleasant relatior.s between this country an I
Great BrltaJn. and would detraet from the preatlae
and confldence that he should have when he, a- a
dlplomatlc offlcer. represents our country in negotia
tlona eoncernlng lmportant queatlorj. now pendlng.
The attack made upor? Ani!>a?-,:idor Hayard wa*
not because he made a brief extenii>orane..us apeech
at Boston. Kng'and. when invited to addreaa the
grammar school and present the awards, but it WM
becauae of hls reference In hl? Edlnburgh apeeca to
"protectlon" and "trusts." The hlgh prtaata of pro?
tectlon were not wlillng to bs cxitlcl.ed, and they
were opposed to freedom of speech even in an 8C8
demlc addresa on the sublect of protectlon and
truat.. . __..-.
Mr. Draper (Rep., Masa.) sald that he addressed
the Houae only becauae hls poaltlon on the matter
could not be clearly defined by a yea and nay vote
on the two resolutlons preaented by the commlt?
tee. He waa not alone ln the Houae, he sald, In
belleving that while Mr Hayard'. remarks rnerlted
aome attention by the House. the aeverlty of the
languase of the ilrst resolutlon waa llkely to defeat
the object of the committee. The general resolu
tion. declarlng that auch speeches should not be
made by diplomatic and consular offlcpre, was as
far aa the Houae ahould go, for In matter* of thla
klnd there should be actlon taken that reflecta the
vlew. of the entlre body, rather than that whlch
could recalve only partiaan aupport. Therefore. he
would move at the proper tlme to separate tho
two resolutlon., so that gentlemen who belleved
with hlm thut a conservative course should be
pnreued could express thelr vlewe, whlch would
not ixrmlt them to vote for both resolutlons.
A 81_AXDER O.V THE COCNTRT.
The next apeaker wa. Mr. Cou.lns (Rep. Ia >. a
member of the commlttee. The censure of a htg!.

bill, some of the fe.itures of which, how.-ver, he
?trtfngly commended. That there should be a reg

copyrlght hnalnrtt he ?a:d wu* ahaolutely naraaaary,
Tbat buslness had ?ruwn to enormou* proportlons,
and the means and facllitles for dolng it are ar.d

number of copyrlght entries exceeded 7C3.000, and the
number of oopyrtghl publlcatiotis depoalted r.-aches
9,01)0 a ye?r. The Llbrary of CoagTflflfl now contalns

ln.-talled in the new bulldlng, a year hence.
One of the defects of the exlstlni* law Is that no
evldence of ownership is requlred of a person apply
