Privilege OF the House.
Mr. Saunders, Of North Carolina, from the
sSelect Committee. on the subject OF the late
/ disordels of the House, made report.
The Committee, 50 far as concerns the
conduct of the member from New York:
II Mr. Rathbun,) and the member from Ken
Etucky, (Mr John White,) gave no opinion,
\ but stated the facts as derived from nu:ner-
\ Gus witnesses.
In regard to the conduct of William 5,
Moore. who committed an assault on mem
Der Of the House, and upon one OF their po'
\ lice officers, they report that the House has
fright to mprison him till the end Of the Ses-
I sion, aid no longer. This was in coniormi.
|ty with the decision in a u. $. Supreme
iCou,i. But the House could turn the power
over to the civil authority for punishment,
and this the Committee, in substance, pro
posed.
The Committee also report, that on the
!other point on which they were instructed,
Ito wit, the provision for furnishing those who
|comm;ted violence and disorder On the floor,
lin the presence of the House was still under
consideration, and would be reported upon
hereafter.
a long debate ensued, in which several
members, and. particularly, Mr. Hale Of NJ
H., expressed the opinion that the report was
a mele nulIity, and that it was due to to the
House and TO the country, TO pass resolu-
ton cenSuring the conduct Of those members
who had violated the rules and degraded the
character Of the House.
He offered resolutions Of censre, which,
after debate, were postponed, together with
the whole subject, till Thursday next.
