Congress committee defends limited power over defalcations
A faction within the House opposes a fishing expedition to scrutinize all collectors and disbursers of public money. They argue that only charges or credible suspicions justify demanding papers and interrogatories, warning such overreach would threaten rights and constitutional limits. The debate centers on Swartwout and Price defalcations and the proper scope of inquiry.

A Masonic Hall meeting delivered a cool conservative speech, marking the political demise and funeral obsequies of Senator Tallmade.
