| WIN. STANBERY,
Member of the House of Re-
representatives. from Ohio
The letter having been read, silence of some
moments ensucd in the House.
The SPEAKER inquired what disposition il
was the pleasure of the House to make of the com.
nunication.
Mr.. VANCE said, that he had been previously
informed of the circumstances stated in the letter
and he had, IN consequence made some examna-
ton as to the conduct of the House heretofore in
cases where their privileges were infringcd upon
The only prccedcnts which he had found of cases
that might be considered of u similar character
were two: one was the case of Mr. Randall and
Mr.. Whitfield, who had proposed, at us early pc
Rod, he believed, the year 1885, to several mem
bers OF Congress, that, If they would assist will
| their influence and vote the passage of n certain
claim to lands bordering Lakes Huron and
| Michigan, they should be recompcnsed with
an interest, either in lands money, upon
the value or worth of the claim allowed
This offer, Mr.. VANCE observed. brought ~, j.,
their places, the members TO whom it had been
made; and a resolution was proposed similar to
that which he should submit directing the
Speaker to issue his warrant for taking the offend
ing parties into custody
The other to which lie had referred, was that
of Mr.. Anderson 1t was of more recent occur
renee, and many gentlemen who heard him would
no doubt recollcct the particulars of it. 1t was an
offer to a member of that House of a sum of mo-
ncy to aid in the passing of Il claim and
the same course had been adopted by the
House in relation to it, had been pursued in that
OF which he had first spoken. Both cases had been
considered breaches of the privilege of the House
as being offers ofbribes to corrupt its members, and
induce them TO assist, from personal and corrupt
tlves, III passing claims through Congress.
lie had not himself examined into any cases
where proceedings the part Of the House
had been taken III Il matter in which personal
attack had been made on member for words
spoken in debate. lie had not found any pre-.
ccdent OF THIS precise nature but believing, as
he did, that it an offence of an equally
grave character, and as great violation of the
rights OF that House to assault member, as to
offer brihe to him, he felt it his duty TO pro-
pose, as no better principle of action appeared for
them, to follow the prcccdcnts which he had addu-
ccd IN the cases which he had quoted. He submit
ted to the House the following resolution, ground
cd the complaint made in the letter of his friend
and colleague.
ReS0ired That the SPEAKER do issue his warrant
directed to the Scrgcant-at- Arms attending the
House, commanding him to take in custody where
