A ''SOMEWHAT JOCULAR NEWSPAPER ITEM'' ABOUT
UK. MITCHELL.
Mr. Mitchell, rising to a personal explanation,
sent to the clerk s desk and had read what he des
ignated as a "somewhat jocular newspaper item,"
reflecting on himself In connection with hlsspeech
| last '1 hursday ou thf < hlnese question, Intimating
that h>' had obtained the floor by the courtesy of
Mr. (?r iy "to submit a few observations,'' and had
occupied It for two hours and a half, to the sur
prise of Mr. (iray. He said that so far as the Item
Imputed to him any discourtesy toward the sena
tor trim Delaware, or resorting to any sharp prac
tice in order to get possession of the floor, he de
nounced it in every essential particular as abso
lutely fals -. The man who Inspired that
item (whoever he might be) was guilty
of a will ul or an Ignorant misrepresentation
of facts, lie staled the circuiuatauces under
which he had obtained the floor ou that occasion
an i said that the Item in question Contained a
covert attack upon him of a most contemptible na
ture. He should be very much surprised ever to
learn that It was Inspired in any form by any mem
ber of ihe senate, and he was qBke certain that
no honorable member of the press would publish a
tiimg oi that kind against any member of the Sen
ate un;ess he was misinformed.
UK. OKAY HAS NO GRIEVANCE.
Mr. Gray disclaimed the possession of anything
like a grievance against the senator from uregon.
He had shown that senator the ordinary courtesy
on the occasion referred to, an 1 had listened with
pleasure to his speech ou the culnese question
Hie Item looked like a Dlt of fun, widen. he
thought, the senator had taken altogether too
seriously. He had not the slightest grievance
ag iinst the Senator, and would be always haDDV
to show him a like courtesy.
EXECUTIVE SESSION.
As soon as the morning business was all disposed
of, at 1 o'clock, Mr. Klddleberger rose and moved
that the Senate proceed to executive business, and
tus motion was agreed to without division.

WELLAND CANAL discrimination AGAINST AMERICAN
VES.skm.
Mr. Mi Mililn (Tenn.), from the committee on
merchant marine and fisheries, reported the
Dtngley resolut ou calling for Information rela
tive to discrimination in tolls against American
vessels pacing t hrough the Wellanu ?:anal.
Mr. Dtngley ^Me.) said that the ofTerlntr of the
resolution had excited some comment In a Cana
dian dispatch to a Hoston paper gl vine a semi,
official denial that auy discrimination ac-alust
American vessels was practiced. In tnls uentaL
said Mr. Dlngley, It w.is admitted that vessels
passl .g through the Welland Canal bound for
Montreal and foreign pons were permitted to pass
on a toll of two cents, while vessels bound for the
lake ports were charged a toll of twenty cents a
ton. It was admitted also that this
discrimination was made for tne Dur
pose of encouraging the exportation of grain
by way of Montreal; but Canadian officials claimed
tuat such a discrimination was not in violation of
treaty. It was asserted that so lonir as the Cana
dian government did not discriminate against
American vessels, as such, but only against Jvmer
lean ports, there was no such violation. This
St'ww Mr. Dlngley contended to be untenable
and he denied that there was a court of Justice In
the country wuich would not arrive at the conclu
sion that a discrimination agalnot the object for
which a way w as to be used was a discrimination
against the use of the way. He had offered the
resoiuiion in the hope tuat at an early day the
i resident would call the attention of the British
authorities to this discrimination In violation of
treaty, and in order tUat Congress mlurht be In
foimed of the facts and take such action as it
might consider advisable. 11
TH* resolution ADOPTED.
The resolution was adopted.
Mr. Kichardson (Tenn.), chairman of the com
mittee on printing reported a resolution, which
was adopted, for the printing of 20,000 extra
copies of the President's message.
THE DELAY IN PUBLIC PRINTING.
Mr. Richardson also submitted the report of tl?at
committee on the resolution directing It to Inquire
Into the causo of the delay in supplying to mem
bers copies or the dally records. The report con
talus a letter from the Public Printer statin* that
delay has only happened ou two occasions, and In
each case was caused by a failure of the clerk's
office of the llouse to furnish copy until a late
hour. There u also a letter from the clerk of tne
House stitlng that this failure was due to the im
mense number of private bills Introduced through
the petition-box. Assurance Is given by both
the^e gentlemen that there will be no delay In th?
future In the delivery of the record.
Mr. Hopkins (III.) moved to recommit the reDort.v
with Instructions to the committee to extenuitj!
inquiry to the delay in the printing of and
other public documents. "uu
Mr. springer (III.) defended the Public Printer
and asserted that if there was any delay in th?
printing of the bills it was due entirely to the
large number of measures introduced.
Mr. Orosvenor (Ohio) criticized tbeprlntliur office
for the tardiness with which the printlmr reaulrert
by Congress was furnished.
Mr. Itogers (Ark.) regarded this criticism ?. .
part and parcel of the arraignment of the demo.
cratlc party before it came into power. Before
the election the country was Rilng to the '?demnl
tlon bow-wows" It the democ were successful.
But they had wagged along , m a oouDle or
years without any sertouS , ' *? hanS
been made. The Treasure not been
raided; the soldiers had bee. i care
of, the public debt was being pat 1 on. too the
country seemed to be entirely safe. But tit 3 was
always somebody to complain ot something ir
gentlemen desired to investigate the actio?' an*
public officer they ought to ask lor the lnveatl^aL
uon in a manly way. _
Mr. Orosvenor inquired of Mr. SprtnA whether
there was any truth in the rumorthat he fcm
that, at the request of certain members,
the Public Printer had printed their bills out or
the regular order.
th^subjectf8' h*Vlng *** Information on
Mr. cox, of New York, thought thai the House
and its commit tees were largely responsible lor the
? to printing. During the last fiscal year the
Pubdc Printer had disposed of a large amount of
ffsgssas*w "-SmSS."
Mr. Henderson (UL) referred to the (act ry
engineer's reports were not yet printed?and
charged it either u> the Inefficiency of thePubUc
punier or to a failure on the part ol the eDgln?er's
office 10 furnish the reports.
Mr. Bianrhard (La.) stated that tbe delay In the
printing of tbeae reports was due to the fact that
they had not been received at tbe printing offl.e
at as early a day as they 6hould have been.
Mr. F&rquhar (N. Y.) thougut tbat the juried'. v I
tlon of the printing committee should b? enlarged
so as to allow it to consult with the public printer
and assume some direction over the conduct or
printing in his establishment.
Mr. McMUlin (Tenn.) thought that congress was
to blame for the delay of the printing office, be
cause it ordered the printing of quantities ot stuff
which none but a crank would write and none but
a tool would read.
THE COMMITTER RETORT A0RREP TO. .
Mr. Hopkins' motion was then| defeated?yeas,
130; nays, 140. The report of the committee on
printing wad agreed to, and tbe committee dis
charged from the further consideration of the
matter.
on motion of Mr. Richardson, a resolution was
adopted directing the committee on prlutiug to
Inquire what amount of delayed work ordered by
former laws remains at the printing office, ana if
It Is found that the work Is nut worth carrying
out tcweport a bill repealing such former laws.
THE CARLISLE CONTEST.
Two l^porte from ik? Honw Election*
Committee.
Chairman Crisp, of the House elections commit,
tee, has completed his report on the Carlisle case,
and expects to submit It to the House to-morrow.
It occupies about thlrty-flve pages, and embraces
a complete review of the case, making a summary
ot the testimony contained In the affidavits pre.
sented on both sides, ana declaring that the an
swer in behalf of Mr. Carlisle entirely disproves
the statements and charges made by Mr. Sypher,
the attorney of Mr. Thobe, and contained in the
affidavits presented by him, and shows thetnto be
utterly false. The report further declares that. In
the opinion of the committee, Mr. Thobe made out I
no case, nnd that Mr. Carlisle Is undoubtedly en
titled to bis seat In the House.
Accompanying the report will be printed all the
affidavits and documents put berore the commit
tee. This report win be signed by all the demo
crats and by Mr. Cooper, of oblo. It is not known
whether or not Mr. Kowell will sign it.
Mr. Lodge is drawing up a minority report, not
questioning Mr. Carlisle's right to the seat, but
expressing the opinion that the case ought to have i
been reopened. This, It is expected, will be signed
by Messrs. Lyman, Houk, Lodge and Johnson, of [
Indiana. The latter voted In favor of Mr. Carlisle I
on the final vote, as did Mr. Howell, it 13 ho|?ed
by Mr. Lodge that he may be able to prepare such
a report as to secure the signature of Mr. Kowell.
Mr. Kowell Is bclug very strongly urged to Join
the minority In this. Whether he doe9 so or not
will depend upon the character of the report. If
it merely suggests that more time might properly
have been given to tbe consideration of the case
he may be induced to si in it.

THE JIISICIASV BOYCOTT C.1SE.
Tbe Appeal to the Supreme Court?
Brief* Pro and Com ? Interesting
Argument.
J. H. Ralston, counsel for Jas. C. Callan, In bis
application to the L'nlted States Supreme court
for a writ of habeas corpus, has tiled a brief stat
ing tbat the appellant was In September charged,
with eight others, in the Police court with the
crime ot conspiracy. A jury trial was denied
them. In October they wero tried and convicted,
and sentenced to pay a fine of $25, and In default
to be committed to jail for thirty days. Appellant
made an appeal to the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict of Columbia, which was subsequently with
drawn, and he was at once committed to the
custody of the marshal that the sentence ot the
Police Court might be carried into effect; that on
the same day he prayed for a writ of habeas corpus
which was denied November 23, and therefore an
appeal was made to the l/nlted states supreme
Court. The grounds of appeal, as set lorth in tne
brief of counsel, are that the Supreme Court of the
District of Columbia erred in not discharging
petitioner, because he was not convicted upon an
Indictment or presentation by a gram Jury, the
; offense with which he was charged being in
famous; because he was not granted a speedy
I trial within the meaning ot the Constitution;
because he was tried by a judge not appointed tor
, good behavior, in accordance with the provisions
ol the constitution, and because he was not tried
by a jury as prescribed by the Constitution of the
I United States.
THE GOVERNMENT'S SIDE.
; The brief of the Assistant Attorney-General, for
the appellee, sets forth that the petitioner's com
plaint, that he was not held to answer on a pre
sentment or indictment ot a grand jury, taay be
dismissed without further notice, as the conspiracy
laid in the Information is not an "infamous crime"
within the meaning of the fifth amendment of the
Constitution, the punishment of the offense not
being by confinement in a penitentiary, and
the offense Itself not being Crimea falsi.
On the question had the petitioner a right
to a trial by jury the brief says that .
It would seem that the Constitution does not re^J
quire tbat the right ot trial by jury shall be se-n
cured to the people ot this District. After giving :
the history of the sixth amendment, and arguing
that the District of Columbia was omitted, it is
claimed that in adopting the sixth amendment
the people of the several states were soUcitous
about trial by jury In the states and now her* else,
leaving it entirely to Congrats to declare in what
way persons should be tried who might be ac-1
cused of crime on the hign seas and in the Dis
trict, and places to be thereafter ceded tor public
purposes. This was a discretion, the brief says,
that waa wisely left to congress, and which It
was not at all likely the people ot the several
?tates would allow their representatives in con
gress to abuse so long as they themselves
should remain worthy of the free in
suttuions they bad founded. But supposing
a Constitutional guaranty of trial by jury
to exist, the brief says It has not been denied. The
language of tbe amendment Is that in all criminal
prosecutions the accused "shall enjoy the right"
to a trial by jury. While the original language ot
the Constitution was tbat "the trial ot all crrlmea,
except in cases of impeachment, shall be by Jury."
There Is a difference in the meanings of these two
forms of expression, and it Is submitted that It Is
clear that tbe requirement of the sixth amend
ment that the accused shall enjoy the right ot
trial by jury Is largely subject u> the wui ot tbe
accused, and not a mode of trial forced upon him,
as It was by the provision of tbe Constitution
which was supplanted by ibe amendment. Atten
tion of the court Is also called to tne view, sup
ported by authority, that the guaranty of trial by
jury has never been understood to embrace petty
