CoNcoRDIA, La; Feb, 1914.
Gross Outrage in the q. s. House of Rep
! rescntatives.
The Globe of the ED ult., contains the fol.
lowing:
| We went to the House this morning for the
| purpose Of bearing, among other things, Mr..
| Wright Of Indiana, conclude his speech on the
! tarl6, which he commenced yesterday ]; but he
had concluded, before we reached there, and
NJ. Whi'c, of Kentucky, Speaker of the last
House 81 Representatives, had the floor on the
same Subject when we reached the Capitol
Although the tariff was the subject before the
Committee Of the Whole, we did no, hear Mr..
White pake single allusion to i, during the
fifty minutes which we heard him speak. He
may have alluded to it in the ten minutes
which Ie had consumed before we reached the
House. The whole OF what we heard him
say was in relation to the bargain which has
been charged as entered into between Mr.. Ad.
ans and Mr.. Clay, in the year 1925. when MIR.
Clay elected Mr.. Adams President OF the Uu.
ted States, and Mr.. Adams made Mr.. Clay
Secretary OF State. Mr. White denied that
there was any bargain between them, and read,
and had read by the Clerk Of the House, lei,
tiers from sGudry persons and speech made
by MT. Adams year or two ago, 10 bear him
out IL what lie said.
Mr.. White jhst a. the close Of his hour, sta.
ted that five gentlemen of the House had GER
tilted TO what the news pspers had charged MIR.
Clay as having said in his speech on the Mis-.
souii question, in February, 1919: If you
Won't IL, US have black slaves, we must have
white ones.' &C.. which speech he said MIR.
Clay had never written out.
The extract, he said, was taken from hole
to Mr.. Rich's speech, published in the Ma
tional Ineligencer more than a year after
that gentleman had made his speech. in which
note Mr.. Rich had said tina! Mr.. Clay used
those words. Here MIR. Whites hour ran out,
and MIR. Jacob Brinkerhoff obtained the floor.
MIR. Andrew Kennedy asked Mr.. BrinkerhoG
30 yield the floor TO him a moment, as he was
one Of The five gentlemen alluded to, and he
wished 10 prove what he had certified to. MIR.
1Bra,. ,.hof refused to yield the floor; when

iPm his scat, with his thumbs iu the pockets |
a his pan:aloons, and ,urning round TO Mr.. |
.Hhiie said, do you intend to apply the lie to

ed, d., God d--n you;' shutting his fists,
aud putting himself in defensive, or offensive
position, as he said SO. By the time the words |
were out Of his mouth; both of them had aim
ed blow at each other. We could not dis.
Germ which struck first. As soon as we saw
Yis, we ran 10 where they were, bnl before we
cached there they had been separated. We
uttered the aisle where the combatan,s were,
tlde ~ side with the sereeant-at. arms. The
hembsrs ordered the sergeant-a,-arms out in
Ffnacing manner, some of them putting their
4nds against him. While they were doing

the sereeant.at.arms, who were ordering hun

the sergeant alarms was out OF his place, OF
EXCEEDING his duty, that we certainly were
cleady out Of ours, and that We had better
keepa brigh, look out, else we nigh. be eject

that enters the hail from the pos,oiflce OF the
House, we saw the fash and heard the report
of pistol in the doorway.
We rushed to the door, and found three or
four per sons jus. outside the door. graphing

that he had been shot through his right thigh, |
near where Il Joins his body. Two men as

MI. McCauslin, a member Of Congress from
