THE DUEL REPORT.

The committee Of the House, in the in
vestigltion of the causes &c that led to the
duel between MIR. Cilley and Mr.. Graves,
have at last made reports to that body
The majority of the committee, (V. B. }
have endeavored to make it appear that
Mr. Cilley was entirely innocent in the mat
ter, and died martyr to the freedom OF
debate! They recommend (Which they
had no right to do) that MIR. Graves
should be expelled from the House, and
that the seconds, Mr.. Wise, aad Mr. Jones,
are deserving the censure ofthe House
The wing members of the committee make
different Report presenting matters in a
different light, and Mr.. Gilmore, makes a
third report differing in character from Ell
Their of the others.
We shall lay before our readers, as soon
as practicable, the action of the House on
this important matter. At present, we
have nothing further of importance.
