interest all sides
Mr.. Bynum followed in a general TRADE about
priest-craft, abolitionism, and the like. His re-
marks cunsistcd chiefly Of bad grammar, worse
taste, and the very worst feeling and temper.
Mr.. Garland of La, made some marks in OPP
position to the bill, and in rsfutation Of some of
Bynum's slanders-and then

was ordered, and proceeded on until 1919 members /
