Mr. STEWART. I did not intend to make any remarks on this subject, and I should not but for the "suggestions made by the Senfrom Ohio. It is manifest to a large number of the senators on this floor that ere is something very wrong in the reports of our proceedings in this Associated Press. That there is no remedy for iIt do not believe. I do not intend to say that the Senate should muzzle the press; but the Senate does extend to the reporters front seats in the allery, and there is no Senator upon this floor who does not know the fact that much in uatice is done in these reports to a large number of the Senators. There a pears to be a systematic attempt to smother all that a portion of them do and say. This is entirely different from ordinary newspaperabuse; that affects no man who has a goo character and behaves himself; but this urports to be a synopsis of the proceedings of p congress, and the silence of Senators here is minke?! by their constituents. I must here state that while I was in California I heard the Senators from that State complained of for not doing their dnt in regard to certain matters, not saing anything in favor of propositions which ey had ably advocated on this floor. The arguments against them, what was said against their views, were sent there by telegraph and they were represented as being silent. I know that gentlemen have suffered in this regard. If we cannot do better, we should make it known to the world that these are not authentic reports. If we can do nothing more, we can pass a resolution declaring that they misrepresent the Senate. Or we can exclthe reporters from the front seats in the galleries, and we can exclude them from our committees as clerks. We can take such action as shall secure the doing of justice to the members of the Senate, for I do assure you that great injustice has been done. A gentleman gets up with a memorial in which his constituents feel an especial interest; he explains that memorial; it is attacked by others. The attack is given, but the explanation is kept back; and still we hold out to the world that here is a telegraphic synopsis of the proceedings of Congress; it oes semiofficially. If we cannot correct it and make it fair and just we have the power to destroy its semioflicial c ar acter by a resolution; an unless there is a manifest improvement, I shall feel called upon to ask the attention of the Senate to this subject again and again, and continue to do it, because I do not propose to have anything go forth that is semio cial which places me or any of my associates upon this floor in a false position daily, and makes their constituents believe that they are recreant to their duty.
