PERSONAL EXPLANATIONS.
Mr. ROBERTS Mr. Speaker, l notice in the re-
ports Of the proceedings Of day before yesterday
morning, certain remarks submitted by the honOrs-
BILE gentleman from Marion which l think rather
strongly personal in their bearing upon myself and
must respectfully ask the gentleman 10 modify them
Ii will be reeollected that stated the morning
referred to- that the remarks which submitted and
of which be complained, not correctly printed
being set forth in stronger terms than l used or
understood the gentleman to use. But the gentle
man in his explanation, says Of this: Come from
what source it may it is false" hope the gentle
man will consent to modify this, under the circum-
stances of the difficulty of hearing across the House.
and the msprint Of the report, which, as it went to
the printer did not place him in the attitude in
which be suPposes himself, as I stated day be-
fore yesterday morning. ! hope the gentleman
will state whether his printed explanation intend
ed as personal.
Mr. ROULSTON. l dislike controversy on this
floor. / have intended to say nothing dsrespectful
to any member OF the House. l certainly alleged
and now repeat, that the reported statement was
false. 1t places both President Carnes and myself
in an awkward position.
Mr. ROBERTS. Isimpy ask the gentleman if nv
explanation satisfies him.
Mr. ROULSTON. l did not report ANYTHING nv
friend said. What reported, conscientiously be-
Heve; l know it, positively; and whilst hold my
self strictly acc Juntahle for what say say now
to the gentleman, that have not intended anything
personally offensive to him.
Mr. ROBERTS. That's sufficient.

were for sustaining the Bank Of Tennessee and op-
posed to q metallic currency Mr. Speaker, if l
