Mr.. King suggested the difficulty that
might arise out Of pursuing the matter
further. He had witnessed something
of the kind once before, and when the
offender was brought to the bar,great EN-.
barrassment was created by not knowing
how TO get rid Of him. He thought it
would be better TO pass over the matter
and proceed TO the consideration of the
message; ;~6r to the appointment of time
for its consideration.
The Chair explained that having heard
some noise without considering whether

had called the Senate to order; but could
not say that he had or had not heard hiss

self did not hear them, and he believed,l
many gentlemen around him did not hear
any. But as the Senator from Missouri
had avowedly came prepared to hear them
no doubt he did, more sensilvely than
others.~ He would ask the Senator 10 be
satisfied With the crush which the m6Ih-
er Of monsters had got, aud not to bear
too hard on the solitary bank rufian, 10

MIR. Linn observed that the Senator
from Virginia, by his own remarks, doubt

forced the Senator from Missouri TO
presist in having the proof However,
lie now understood that point was set

he hoped his colleague would withdraw
his motion.
MIR. Preston again expressed his con-
in the propri ETY. of the motion,
and hoped effectual steps would be taken
to prevent he recurrence of such a
scene. Mr.. Allen made some appropri.
ate remarks, and concluded by stating
that he understood the offender was in
custody, and expressed his sorrow for
having done what he was notat the time
a ware was an offence; as. therefore, all
the ends had been accomplished with his
