Giddings objected. Appeals came from all
parts of the House to hear him-the Massa-
chusetts members were especially urgent, until
at last Mr.. G.. withdrew his objection.
The members now crowded to the neighbor-
hood of Mr.. Brooks, and the spectators In the
galleries manifested intense interest to hear
him.
Mr.. Brooks said that Mr.. Sumner uttered
SANDER on his State and on venerable relative,
who at the time was absent. Not content with
this, he published a libel OH his State and
blood. 1t was personal affair. and in taking
redress IN his own hands he meant no disre-
spect to the Senate or House. Nor did he mean
any disrespect to Massachusetts, He was aware
of the personal responsibility he incurred, and
was prepared to meet it. If he had commit
ted breach of privilege, he was answerable to
the Senate, which body had no right to present
him to the House for punishment. He had
never been called to order, nor had he offended
any othcer; yet the vote taken to-day transmit
ted him to posterity as unworthy Of seat here,
because of disorderly behaviour. In this con
nection he spoke of Mr.. Pennington as "tho
prosecutor" the thumb paper" the 1" Fal-
stafian member" for which the Speaker called
him to order

killed him. Ten days ago, foreseeing what
the action of the House would be, my resigna-
ton was put into the hands of the Governor Of
South Carolina.
Mr.. Brooks then replied to several other
members who had said hard things of him.
Abiding to the remark of James Watson
webb, which had been quoted" that the as
sault deserved death on the spot"-he said, Il
those who endorsed that sentiment wished 10
play game of chivalry, let them, with the
whole Republican crew, come and take the
life which they say is forfeited If his oppo-
nents were satisfied with the present state of
the case, he was. He returned his thanks 10
his friends, especially to the good Northern
Democrats and gentlemen who had the man
hood to stand by him, not forgetting John Scott
Harrison, of Ohio. Some gentlemen, he be-
-Eeved, had voted against him contrary to their
wishes, but were operated upon by outside
pressure; land he spoke in commentator oil
those who gave their votes without indulging
in vilifcation.
He concluded BY saying, Mr.. Speaker an
nounce to you and the House, that l am no
longer member of the Thirty. fourth Congress.

SEN ATE.


The Senate was occupied with the eonsdera-
ton of that interminable subject, the Naval
Board and Naval Reform.
HOUSE
A motion to suspend the rules, so as to ena-
BILE the House to act on the Senate resolution
to adjourn on the 18th, failed-yeas Ito, nays
81.
The House then proceeded to consider the
report On the Sumner assault.
Mr.. Edmundson, of Virginia, obtained leave
to make an explanation. Having caused his
testimony before the committee to be read, he
earnestly defended himself from the charge of
"reprehensible conduct as made in the re-
port of the majority.
Mr. Campbell then proceeded to close the
debate. He denied that, in discharging their
duties as members of the committee, the ma
jority had been actuated by disposition to
make party capital. They had been actuated
by the sole desire to do their duty to the House,
to the parties implicated, and to the country.
The reason why the gentleman from Virginia
had not been notified was, that the committee
itself had not determined, until the very morn
ing that the report was prepared, that there
were facts sufficient in that gentleman's testi
mony to warrant the conclusions which, in his
case, they had reported to the House. Up to
this morning, the committee had not only been
willing, bat anxious, that the gentleman and
his friends should have an opportunity to pre-
sent such facts as might authorize them to re-
lieve him from his completely in the affair; but
the House had refused to allow them the time
they desired, and the consequence was that
they would be compelled to act upon the test.

and Dayton, in other words, install Republi-

potism, and not only relieve the Union from
its crushing tyranny, but give to the white men

The bill for the relief of Cyrus Fl. McCor-
mick was then taken up and discussed at some
length. It proposes to allow him to go before
the Commissioner for a renewal of his patent,
on the ground that his former application was
refused through some technicality; and it pla-
ces him on the ground that he would have oc.
cupied, had it not been for that technically.
The bill was rejected-yeas Is, nays %.
Thirteen private bills were passed, after which
the Senate adjourned over until Monday.
HOUSE
Mr.. Oliver, of Missouri, from the minority of
the Kansas Investigating Cormttee, made a
report. He states that the evidence shows that
Mr.. Whitfield was duly elected delegate to
Congress in November 1854; and while the
testimony is conflicting, and directly contradic.
tory in some points relative to the election of
March, 1855, for members of the Legislature,
yet from the whole it clearly appears that the
Anti-Slavery party was in the minority in four
teen out of eighteen election districts.
MrsOliver reviews at great length the ex-
listing troubles in Kansas, saying from the evil
dence that they are clearly chargeable to the
revolutionary movements of those who got up
the Topeka Constitution, and have pledged
themselves to resist the laws at all hazards.
The House then resumed the report on the
Sumner assault.
Mr.. Allison contended that this subject in
volved not only the rights of an individual, but
of the people.
Mr. Bocock said that there was no cause on
the record showing the expulsion of a member
for an assault and battery. He argued that
the case pending did not warrant the interpos-
ton of the House-no such disorderly beha-
viour," for which the Constitution provides pun.
ishment, having been committed.
MIR. Simmons argued, not only that the
House had the power in the case, but that it is
the duty of the House to exercise it.
Mr.. Winslow regretted that undue import
ance had been given to this matter, and said
that the facts, as developed, showed it to be a
mere personal controversy.
Mr.. Edie did not agree that this was a mere
personal matter, and spoke of attempts having
been made to explain away the plain language
of the Constitution.
Mr.. Giddings said Mr.. Brooks had satisfied
the law relative to the assault and battery, bat
had not answered for the great crime commit
ted against the Constitution
The House then adjourned.

From the Boston Journal
A Murder at the Massachusetts
State Prison.

The State Prison was again made the
theatre of dreadful murder on Sunday
morning. The circumstances are sub
stantially as follows:
The usual morning religious service in
the chapel of the prison had closed, and
the prisoners had nearly all leftthe apart
ment. Among those who descended the
stairs was a convict named James Magee.
He was presently seen to return and
walk up to the stand, where, according to
his usual custom, stood Deputy Warden
Walker, experimenting the movements
of the prisoners as they left the chapel.
Magee caught the eye of the Deputy
Warden, and extended towards him a
slip of paper, which Mr.. Walker stopped
to take, and while so doing Magee seized
him by the arm, and with surely direct
ed hand plunged knife into his neck,
under the left ear, severing the jugular
vein, and producing death within three
minutes. AT the moment of the wound
Mr.. Walker grappled with the prisoner
and received also stab in the grain, and
one in the breast. The Chaplain of the
prison, Rev. Mr.. Hampstead, rushed to
the rescue, struck Magee with the chapel
Bible, and then seized him by the hair
of the head, combining him until the ar
rival of further aid, when Magee was
put in irons and conveyed to dungeon
Mr.. Walker was Immediately taken &c

reached it life was extinct.
The deed was committed with a COM

No cause is assigned, other than some
trivial grudge entertained by Magee.
1t is known that Magee, some months
since, stated in the hearing of other
prisoners, that if he ever had the oppor.
tunity, he would be the death of Mr.
Walker.

All this .plendor came through Chas.
