Now. Mr.. Chairman, as a large por-
ton OF the laws that have been enacted,
and the larger number of bills that have
been acted upon, during last winters ses-
sion and this, have been for the benefit
OF capital, and moneyed institutions, let
US pass this law, for the benefit Of an
opposite Institution. One that seeks no
monopolies, in its way. but, on the con
trary, shurs them. That institution is
the poor man.
These, sir, are some of the reasons fer
the vote | intend 70 give for this bill.
Comments on the Slough and CALDWELL
Case.
In the House of Representatives. the
debate on the question Of the expulsion
Of Mr.. Slough, seems to have waxed
warm, and some hard personal hits were
made. Mr.. Cory, a Democrat, col
league of Nh. Slough from Hamilton
County, and decidedly the most talented
Democratic member in the House, was
particularly severe oil Mr.. Slough. We
extract the following from the Columbus
correspondence of the Cleveland Her
aid:
Mr.. Cory then proceeded to review
the circumstances of the outrage, and
charged that Mr.. Slough in the preseL-
tation of the resolution on the subject OF
per diem and extra mileage was grasping
at the public treasury. He was exceed
ingly severe on his colleague, and became
so personal that Mr.. Slough in an excited
manner rose and called him to order,
with the remark that he "ShOuld hold tie
gentleman responsible here and eiseWhere."
Mr.. Cory Instantly replied with empha-
sis, and in a manner OF full meaning, 81
wish tile gentleman to understand that /
am responsible here and siseWhere."
Mr.. Blakeslee. of Williams, whose
scat is near'Mr. SlOugh's, gave a history
of the OUT age, and his views upon the
duty of the members. He reviewed the
conduct of the accused since the outrage.
and condemned it in the most pointed
terms. He had really made no apology,
had placed a mulilated document upon
the Journal, and BY his conduct and Ian
guage in his seat, which Mr.. B quoted,
Oh various occasions had continued to
play the bully. Mr.. B. was called to
order, and Mr.. S. is stated under much
excitement made an attempt to approach
The speaker, but was prevented by his
friends.
Mr.. Blakeslee, who is a man Of medi-
dunn size, compactly built, and evidently
a hard nut o crack in debate. or ala
Hyer, in reply to a side remark that he
was a "nen resistant" said he was in
just this-that he never provoked a
quarrel or struck a man first, but lie
warned everybody to keep hands Off
One thing was certain, he never should
strike first a man below his own size,
nor lick one moi larger than himself !
The hit set the House in a roar.
AT an indignation meeting called by
the Democrats Of Columbus, after some
speeches denouncing the action of the
majority of the House, in expelling Mr..
Slough, Mr.. McCOok, a Democrat all
over. took the stand. and for an hour
and a half told his political friends truths
they listened TO reluctantly, but in the
main respectfully. He declared that the
expulsion was right-that the report of
the majority Of the committee, concurred
in by the minority as to all the facts Of
the outrage. entirely exonerated Mr..
Caldwell from blame-that the offence
and subsequent conduct OF Mr.. S. de-
manded the severest punishment in the
power of the House to inflict-and warn
ed his political friends who were sustain
ing Mr.. Slough that the honest people of
the State-when they should know all
the facts of the case. and they would
know them-would certainly sustain the
vote of expulsion. Mr.. McCOok made
a clean breast Of il. and declared that
during the last campaign every Demo
cratic orator in Ohio literally staggered
under the weight of rufianism and bull
lyism they were compelled TO carry,
and he protested against piling Mr..
Slough upon Kansas and Brooks He
said the proposed action of the meeting
was premature, and reminded his friends
of the silly position they would find
themselves in if Hamilton county should
refuse 20 sustain the expelled member.
We learn from the Ohio State Jour
mol that it is probable that Hamilton Co.,
will refuse TO endorse tie bullyism Of
Mr.. Slough, by re e%lecting him; but will
elect Mr.. Corwine to fill the vacancy.
Bullyism will have to seek some other
field for its exhibitions in tie fancy line,
than the Legislative Halls of Ohio. 1t
will be forced TO confne itself to Con
gress.
