IMPEACH A JUDGI-".
Mr, Lnmur (Democrat), of Florida, ris?
ing to a question of privilege nftt-r an?
nouncing thai he would offer a resolu?
tion, In which would bo embodied a Joint
resolution of the Florida Legislature,
Bald:
"In pursuance of that Joint resolution,

continuously and. persistently absented
himself from the said Stute, nnd whether
his acts and omissions in his ofllce of

deprive the people of that district or the

Houso should go slowly and be extremely
.careful. The House Is not a gland Jury,
ho said: -
.Mr. Lacoy (Republican), of lown, movod
to refer, the resolution to the Commutes
on Judiciary. /
Mr. Payne (Republican), of New York,
aaid the, House should proceed with care
In so Important a matter ns this.
VOTE IT DOWN.
Mr. Fuller (Republican), of Illinois,
said tho resolution should not be reforred,
but should bo voted down, charging that
It did not contlan a single specification.
The humblest citizen, ho said, was en?
titled to be furnished with specific
charges before being placed on trial. He
declared that It would be useless to refer
the resolution to the Judiciary Committee,
saying that that commutee would bo
obliged to report It back with a report
that there -was nothing In It to warrant
action. Mr. Lamar said:
"As I understood, this objection made
by the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Grosvo
nor), Is that I do not charge Judgo
Swayne with any specific charge. I do
charge him generally with high crimes
and misdemeanors. Why Bhould I be
forced to state when tho proof Is to be
submitted to the Commltteo on Judiciary,
tho specific matters upon which that
general allegation is mado. Every single
crime that this Judge Is capable ot com?
mitting, Is charged when I charge hlm
or high crimes and misdemeanors. But If
the gentleman desires that I shall make
any charges seriatim, I charge this Judge
first, with continued, persistent, and If
you please, pernicious absenteeism from
ills district; second, with corupt otllclal
conduct, based on several matters: third,
I charge Judge Swayne with the malad?
ministration of Judicial matters In his
court, so much as to embarrass bankrupts
nnd annihilate the assets of litigants and
others appearing within his Jurisdiction. '

tions now nro that the contest, which,
.11 Is asserted, Is Ccrlflln to result from

V'hlle the President Is familiar with tho
?Icxclopments thtis fnr In the Smoot ense.
no effort Is being made by either side
to draw him Into the controversy, the
realization being general that It Involves
a question .which the fc'ennto must de?
termine Itself.
That a thorough" Ih'vestlgntlon of the
subject will bo .mndo by the Senoto Com?

appears to', bo beyond doubt. By those
who ai-0 pressing the Investigation, It Is
said, It will-ho'moro-comprehensive and

Ti Is believed by some, at least, of
those who are opposing Senator Smoot,
that any effort mado to prove he Is a
polygamlst, would result In -failure, and,
while that point cannot be said to have
been abandoned ubsrtlutcly, It In quito
certain the opposition will concentrate

compatible With the oath of allegiance

As to the ..ability of the opposition to

opinion among senators, but there Is a
pretty general agreement that If It should

unseating of the Utah senator.
