XXXIVth Congress-First Session.
7' ,-aaa .- WAsHINGror, April 81
HoUsr.-Mr. Petit, of Ind, from the
select committee appointed to inquire into
the facts ans circumstances attending ths
sale ofthe Fort Smelling property, made I
report from the majority. He said tht
committee was not so fortunate as to come
to an agreement relative 10 the facts.
In reply to suggestion of Mr.. Grow o
Pa, Mr.. Petit. remarked that there wal
nothing in the report duplicating any mem
Der of either branch Of Congress. HI
moved that the report be laid on the tabl.
and printed, and made the special order fol
the 18th of May. Agreed 10. s..ss 81
Mr.. Burnett of KY, made a minority re-
port, which was ordered to take the SAINT
direction. 7 a+-' =
Mr.. Hughes asked leave TO offer res o
luton to consure Mr.. Spinner, (Membel
Of the House from New York for commit.
ting breach of privilege, order and decor
un, the latter having, yesterday, asked i'
submit preamble and resolutions propss'
ing select committee OF FIVE to inquire into
the fact and circumstances by which, under
the order Of tie Commissioner Of Public
Lands, Senator Bright and Representatives
English and Foley were permitted to enter
six thousand acres at the Council Bluffs
Land Office. 's,E r.r ,s-s-zfsl 'sss
b. Mr. Campbell said it was not breach Of
privilege on the part of Mr.. Spinner. II
every member, villifed through the public
press, should think proper 10 bring the sub
ject before the House, they should have
nothing but questions Of privilege.
Mr.. Hughes wished TO set the seal OF
condemnation on This malicious assault on
a Senator and two Representatives. The
House should maintain its own dignity and
character. The newspaper attack embo-
died in Mr.. spinner's resolutions was false
scandalous, and founded in ignorance Of the
public statutes Of the country. He had nc
doubt that the resolution was concerted
outside this House, He explained that
Messrs. Bright, English and Foley made
their locations under the law, from which
he proceeded 10 read. He said the proceed
ings of the House were used for the pur.
pose of stabbing the Commissioner Of the
Land Office, Senator and tive Represen'
tatives, and for that purpose irresponsible
and infamous newspaper attacks were
lugged in. a.- r,-
Mr.. Gliding, of Ohio, raised a question
of order, but the Speak er overruled the OBJ
jeotion as coming too late.
Mr.. English said he had been a membel
Of the House for FIVE years. and ne coulG
appeal 10 the record to bear him out in The
assertion, that, in all that time he nevel
uttered sentence rejecting on the perso
nal character of any Of his associates on thi
floor, and never before had he had any 90
easion 10 notice or refer 10 any charges OF
personal character towards himself. HI
knew of no law which made it improper il
any sense for members Of Congress to pur
chase public lands. On the 23d of Febru
ary, he and Mr.. Foley, for themselves ant
certain Of their constituents deposited ii
the General Land Office number Of liant
warrants, which were located in open da.
and under The law and instruction., Of III
Secretary of the Interior and the Commits
sioner Of the Land Office. He read from
the law and instructions in proof Of his as
sertion, and showing that no preference ha'
been given in the location. II any gentle
man made charge that favorilism in thi
matter, was shown him, to influence his &C
lion on the Kansas question, or insinuat
that he was influenced by other than pa
triotic motives, he would denounee him a
liar, paltroon, and coward. ~ 49,
