Debate in the U. S. Senate--Garret Davis. In the U. S. Senate, on the 8th, Senator Hale introduced a resolution to investigate the condition of the Navy and the manner and mode of procuring supplies, &c. Mr. Davis (Ky.) said, I have been referred to so repeatedly by the Senator from California and others, that I feel it necessary to say a few words. I have observed the restiveness of the Senators about examinations being made into the acts of this Administration. They are propell we must sustain the Government, and go on spending and fighting until the rebellion is subdued. I do not believe that this Administration has fraudulently expended money, though it may have been fraudulently obtained from the treasury. Mr. Davis said: I think that the Senator who preceded me said that the office of a loyal man was to sustain the Administration in the performance of its duty. I support every just measure of this Administration to carry on the war to a speedy and succes

minorities. I dare do my duty in exposing maladministration of the Government. I have disciplined myself in opposition. When the old hero of the Hermitage was President, I have heard the old lion of the Hermitage roar, and I am not now to be frightened by the howling of jackals. I am earnest and honest in the expression of my opinion; I ask only the freedom of an American citizen to investigate the administration of my Government; the administration of Abraham Lincoln, as well as James Buchanan and Franklin Pierce. That right I intend to claim. Mr. Doolittle said if the Senator from Kentucky or New Hampshire thinks there is any disposition to screen or cover up the truth, they are mistaken; there is no such purpose. All I have said is, that the attacks made upon the Administration by any member of this body, and especially upon the Navy Department. by the Chairman of the Naval Committee, is what I most deeply deplore.

very just measure of this Administration to carry on the war to a speedy and successful issue, but there is a higher vein of loyalty than that. Where a Senator — where any individual — believes that he discovers that the administration of the Government, and especially in its Executive Department, is in conflict with the liberty of the people, it is a higher prerogative of loyalty to oppose such aggression upon the Constitution than it is to approve its measures where they are right. I make my acknowledgements to the gentleman from California for his frankness, that he is in favor of free investigation. Mr. Conness remarked that the gentleman, in having fallen from "glory" to his present degradation, in having once heard the lion roar, was now compelled to listen to the howling of the jackals. "To what base uses do we come at last." It could not be fairly deduced from him that he could ever shrink from any of the facts regarding the proper administration of the Governmen

All I have said is, that the attacks made upon the Administration by any member of this body, and especially upon the Navy Department. by the Chairman of the Naval Committee, is what I most deeply deplore. The Senator from Kentucky has heard the "Lion of the Hermitage" roar, and don't think anything could terrify him. He says that he was skilled in opposition to the maladministration of President Jackson. He opposes everything and proposes nothing, and from long education in this school he may have acquired the habit of finding fault, and nothing else. I do not undertake to say that there have been no mistakes or frauds in the administration of the Government during this war. Such a state of things never existed on the earth. Wherever there has been an expenditure of public money there has always been more or less of fraud.--Where the carcass is, there the vultures gather. The

Wherever there has been an expenditure of public money there has always been more or less of fraud.--Where the carcass is, there the vultures gather. The officers who had the charge of the immense expenditures were at first unaccustomed to the checks and guards to prevent frauds. You will find, if you compare our expenditures with those of England, France, and Russia in the Crimean and Italian wars, that the percentage of the money taken fraudulently from the United States is not so great by fifty per cent, as then, and the money taken since this war is not as great as at other times.--Look at the Florida war and the Mexican war, and you will find the percentage of money taken fraudulently was greater than under this.
