10 Lit. LETTERS to receive token Of honor


from the Queen of Spain, was passed.
Mr.. Haskins, of New York, called atten-
ton to the fact that various persons were on
the floor who were not entitled to its privi-
leges. He saw one who was scribbler for
the New York Herald who had said that he
(Haskins) had gone over to the Black Re-
publicans, and was acting with Matteson and
the lobby. lie remarked that the CORES
pondent's name was Shaw. Mr. Haskns
then called on the door-keeper to show Mr.
Shaw the door, and asked the attention of the
Speaker to the 18th rule.
The Spe ,ker said so far as the last part of
the suggestion was concerned, that it was
unnecessary.
MIR. Haskns hoped the door keeper would
enforce the rule against all not entitled to the
privileges of the floor.
Mr.. Stephens, of Ga, said the hour of one
had arrived. He moved that the House
take up the Senate Kansas bill. The bill
was read once.
Mr.. Giddings objected to a second reading
under the rule.
The question then required, "Shall the bill
be rejected ?"
Mr.. Stephens demanded the yeas aud nays,
and the bill was not rejected-yeas 95, nays
1877. The bill was then read second time.
Messrs. Niblack, of Ind, Trippe, of Ca,
and Hatch, of N. Y, spoke in favor of the
LecOmpton Constitution, and Messrs. Ward
and GrOesbeck, of Ohio against.
Mr.. Marshall, of Illinois, looked upon
those who framed the Constitution, as vile
conspirators, and would not vote to sustain
fraud and gross outrage upon the rights of
the people of Kansas, and looked upon the
attempts to ostracise and brand as traitors
and rebels, those who will not bend the knee
to power and lick the hand raised to whip
them into submission as indecent. He (Mr.
Marshall) had high respect for the Presi-
dent, bu; he was not a spaniel.
Mr. Hughes, of Ind, has made an attempt
to establish a test to read down every Demo :
cratic party.
MIR. Marshall-It is done not unconscious
ly by the present Administration, and by the
Organs OF the Administration, and it is
known throughout the country that the test
of Office depends upon whether mans con-
science and judgment sanction this thing or
not.
MIR. Lawrence-Does the gentlemen know
how soon after to morrow he will be exclud-
ed from Democratic caucus
Mr.. Marshall-That does not disturb me in
any particular-a man is good Democrat
who votes ticket without scratching, AM
takes the stump for the benefit of the party.
MIR. Hughes was understood to say he ar.
rayed himself with higher standing than the
member from Illinois.
Mr. Marshall-This is not the first time
we have found flies buzzing around, Laugh
teri
MIR. Hughes In very dirty places
Laughter
Mr.. Marshall-That is the very place tc
find the gentleman. Renewed merriment
In the course of his remarks, Mr.. NJ. spoke
of the Administration presses here, and else
where as dirty puppies, spewing forth theil
filth, saying they must be muzzled.
Mr. Hughes defended his political stand
lug. The gentleman from ILL.,, had made 9
rambling speech, peculiarly bitter in its char
acter, and lower than the usua! standard O.
Congressional debates.
Mr. Hughes, after abiding to the dialogue
with Mr.. Marshall about flies, said that the
Black Republican party was the dirtiest sub
stance OF political chemistry ever produced
[i.aughter.l
Mr.. Stephens would not now discuss the
bill, having heard that substitute was to be
submitted. He gave way to Mr.. MontgOm-
cry of Pa, who offered the Crttenden sub
stltute as amended by the anti-Lecompton
Democratic Conference, proposing to admit
Kansas into the Union and refer the Lecomp
ton Co vention to vote of the people. In
the event Of lis rejection by them, a Conven
ton to be called to form new Que. 1t also
allows one member of the House of Repre-
s. ntatives until the next federal census.
Mr.. Montgomery said he had no remarks
to make. The substitute was its best inter
prefer. He had furnished copies to some
members. and was ready to supply the press
Mr.. Quitman, OF Miss, offered substitute
which is the same as the Senate bill, will
the omission of the declamatory clause that
the people shall Lave the right at all times
10 alter or amend the Constitution in such
manner as they think proper, etc.
Mr.. Humphrey Marshall wished to amend
the original Senate bill by striking out the
same clause which was proposed to be omit
ted in Mr.. Quitman's substitute.
Mr.. Stephens refused to yield the floor fol-
that purpose, and demanded the previous
question.
Mr.. Marshall wanted Mr.. Stephens refus
al to be borne in mind, and entered on the
record. Tic question Was taken on the adpp
ton Of Mr.. Quitman's substitute, which was
negatived. Yeas y, nays l60.

adopted. Yeas l20 nays liz.
