aors consider unbecoming to the ''dgny" OF the SEN
ate The honorable Mr. Butler, OF South Carolina, is
one of the gentlemen who has taken exception to the
plain language used bv the Unions correspondent How
with that which he prescrbes for others In yesterday
debate Mr. Butler applied the following expressions TO
the Hon. Mr.. Turney, senator from Tennessee
Such thought could only into the mind of
who could retail private conversation which he had acci-
denaly overheard When the from Tennessee said
iat for the balance of his life, he would endeavor he
honest he sincerely Aoped he would permit deccncy to
along with his honesty"
Thus Mr. Butler, whilst engaged in prosecuting edi-
tor for of respect to the Senate himself guilty
of arragnng brother senator upon the charges of
failing private conversations, of dishonesty and OF not
being decent!
Should not such language command the respect OF the
press the people, and the world, and place the DIGNI-
Try OF THE SENATE beyond the reach OF assault
