Mr.. Waugh moved a reconsideration of the vote,
in order to make personal explanation, and said
SANDER with her vile tongue, has, since our last ad
Journment, been unusually busy, in mlsrepresentng
the course of myself and colleagues in regard to the
bill to incorporate the town of Salem and that the
remarks of the gentleman from Surry, were the re-
suit of preconcerted action part to- defeat the
bill can, Sir, but regard the charge or insnua-
ton, iliibera and unjust coming it does from
fellow members OF this body. And now, once for
all, hold myself responsible in saying, SO IA IS am
included in the charge, that it is mendacious in all
its phases
What, Sir, has been MY course in regard to this
matter? My colleagues will do me the justice to
say that instead Of concurring in the curailed SOU
thern boundaries of the town of Salem, urged the
right and justice Of letting the petitioners have such
boundaries their town meeting suggested and
adopted.
Mr. Speaker rose merely to place myself right
before the House, and now withdraw the motion to
reconsider.
Mr.. Leach. Does the gentleman refer to me?
Mr.. Waugh. Sir, my reference is to him or them,

Two JUDGEs.-THE CoNrRAs.-MR. EDITOR The
late political course of one of our Judges William
D. Kelley is we'll known, and SO justly condemned
by the puolic as not to require any comment at my
hands.
His withdrawal from the bench evinced self-con.
demnation sufficient, and just sentence, and
as highly approved by the public, as any during the
whole courts of his term.
By way of contrasting Judge Kelley's course with
that of Judge who respects that high office, read
the remarks of Judge R. NJ Saunders, OF North
Carolina, who, being present. responded to call as
follows:
"Hon R. NJ Saunders, being called upon, and re-
ceived with loud and continued applause, said that
while on account of the distinguished position he
had the honor to hold, he was not permitted to en-.
gage in any mere party contest, rejoice in any
mere party victory yet he at liberty to rejoice
with his fellow citizens the defeat Of sectional
ism and the triumph Of nationality. His remarks
were BRIEF well timed and strictly in keeping with
the exalted position he SO ably fills. He took his
seat amid thunders Of applause" *+
