(Cries of ''order")
The Speaker requestad the gentle
men to take their seats, and then re-
minded Mr. Haskins that his remarks
were assuming personal character.-
He could give reasons for or against
the bill, but not indulge In personali-
ties.
Mr. Haskins said he was simply Civ
ing the facts in connection with the
Lecompton fraud. and he could prove
what he had stated. Thenty-three
Democrats started out against the SEN
ate Bill, and only twelve were left,
equal to the number of Apostles.
The gentleman from Ohio had seen
new light, and he asked him to give it
to the country.
Mr.. cox DENIES THAT HE Is JUDAS.
Mr.. Cox replied. He had stated
yesterday his first impression was
against the Conference report, and he
now repeated it did not entirely meet
his views. In the letter to the Ohio
Statesman, he gave his opinions and
objections, and stated that his best inn
pressions were against the report. be-
cause he thought it Disseminated
against Free in favor Of Slave States;
but he had conferred with Gov Walk
er, and on learning from him that
Kanzas will, next fall, have popula-
ton sufficient, under the Federal ratio,
for Member of Congress, and now
took the report as the best he could
get.
The gentleman from \. Y. should
not insinuate that he was Judas: that
gentleman knew full well that no one
from the Administration. or any other
source, dared to approach him on the
subject. Laughter on the Republican
side He had acted with an honest
mind and pure heart. For himself,
he would say that any man who insin-
uated to the contrary, was not worthy
of place on this floor, nor would be
if he had betrayed confidence, and
proved rccreant to all hc had heretofore
said or done.
He appealed to Heaven for the recti-
tude of his intentions.
The Constitution was practically
though not in form, submitted to tn,
people of kanzas, and they would have
IA chance to Kill it. He asked Mr.
Haskins whether there had been any
falschood or recreancy on his part.
Mr. Haskins-I leave that for tho
country to Judge.
Mr.. Cox with earnest and excited
gesticulations, made a reply, which
was lost in the greatest possible cou
fusion.
The Speaker loudly raped, an(
said he would prohibit any Language
approaching personalities.
y demand for the previous question
was seconded.
The Speaker repeatedly raped anc
called to order.

sually quiet The result on adopting
