Mr. STOCKTON. After receiving that note, I took it in my hand and went round to the house of the Senfrom Maryland [Mr. JOHNSON] and showed him an answer which I had prepared to it, in which I stated that it was impossible to get my colleague here the next day if the vote came up. I did not know really whether he could come or could not come, and do not now. I resume his actual condition is and has beent at it is possible for him to come, but not without some risk of his life, although I do not know his precise condition. The Senfrom Maryland advised me not to send the note I had written, but he said he would see the Senfrom Maine the next morning. He did see him. I then prepared, at my seat, with the Senfrom Maine sitting alongside of me, a telegram at his request, he stating to me, “ You must give Mr. Ivaienr immediate notice.” I replied, “ I will write to him.” Said he, “That will not do you must telegraph to him.” I said I would do so. I repored the telegram at my seat and hande it to the Senfrom Maine. He read it and approved of it. I handed it then to a Senator who sits near me and asked him to copy it in his handwriting. I have it in the handwritin of one of the Senators on this floor, and will read it: [Cory l To Senator wRIORT.Newark, NewJar m. Sonntor Monmm. wishes you to know that after allowing you areasonabletime to get to Washington he will consider himself at libertv to vote in in case. JOHN P. STOCK ON. He then, on Thursday morning, agreed to give my colleague a reasonable time to get to Washington. On Friday morning, while sit ting in the Senate, this answer from Mr. Wnionr was handed to me: Dated NEWARK, March 23 1866. Received at.WASHINGTON, March 23. To Hon. JOHN P. STOCKTON, UnifedgtntesSenate: I am still confinedto my room and cannot be in Washington beforethe middle of next week. Am I to Consider your telegraph of yesterday as a notice from Senator liIoiiRiLL that his agrocment to paired with meon your casehas ended? I have not heard anything direct from him in referenceto it, and still trust he will adhereto hisagrcrmentwith me. Please answer. WILLIAM WRIGHT. Mr. President, I have always had ever since I have been a member of this body the highest res met and regard for the Senfrom Maine; and I desire to say now to the Senate that while I desire to characterize the act in the strongest terms that arliamentary language will permit me to use, Fain perfectly convinced that Senator Mos sim. meantto do nothing that was not honorable and right. I have not the slightest idea that he did, because I saw his anxiety, and he said to me himself when I read this telegram to him that he did not know what to do. But, Mr. President, the gentleman who is now taking care of the honor of the Senate, the gentleman who has the honor of the Senate in his charge, as reported in the papers, called out to him to vote. I leave the case with these remarks. I endeavored only to do in duty, believing that I had a constitutional right to vote without ever stcpping anyquestion of delicacy.
