Mr. JOHNSON. I understand. I merely rise for the purpose of exressing my own opinion on what I understant to be the object of the Senfrom Iowa. Every man has a right to be in the gallery; every man has a right to send anything to, the press that he thinks proper, responsible only for the abuse of that right to the party whom he may injure. v can exclude om the gallery, of course, a particular reporter, but others will take his place; or the same man may corhein, not in the capacity of a reporter, and send to the press what. o thmks right. I think, perhaps, we shall involve ourselves in very serious difficulty by adopting a course of that kind, if that should be t 10 course adopted, because it would bring, Ia prehend, upon the Senate the general am m version of the press; it wouldbe considered as an interference with the freedom of the press. In common with everybody, I have noticed the very incorrect reports that frequently get into the papers by means of the telegraph; but. so far as the reports of the Senate are presented to the public by the reporters who are on the floor of the Senate, I suppose we will all admit that reports never were more accurate and more just. There has been no partiality, as far as I am aware, shown in those rerts no any member of the Senate, and no “hon of any prejudice against any member of the Senate. Everything has been put down exactly as it occurred., So far as I am concerned, KIDS s if I had been consulted, I should rather we adomitted somethings that did occur. But I merely suggest, as matter to be considered by the committee, the difficulties which seem to me to exist in adopting any rule which will effectually cure the mischief which the country is now sustaining, and the injury which perhaps the Senate to a certain extent is sallering. do not think, however, the mischief is very great. I do not think any member of the Senate suffers very materially by these tele graphic reports. His course is nown to his own people finally. What his conduct has been, they in some way or other become familiar with, and they are sure to approve it if they think it is right. They will not listen long to any misrepresentation that may be made by any of the reporters in the gallery, or anybody else.
