TEMPEST Is \ TEA POT.
Mr.. LANING alluded to an article IN The TRIB-
USE referring to the arrangements by which hlr Al
words election was secured; and moved Committee
of Iuquiry-the Committee to be composed all OF Re
publlcans.
Mr.. LAW said the Committee moved at his re-
quest. and he hoped there would be searching IN
quiry.
Mir. HUTCHINSON opposed the proposed eonsti-
publican members. "
MrILANEY hoped tie Committee would be raised.
Reporters should not have unnecessary Liberties:
Mr. SMITH felt himself slghted in this article. IL
was nm SIGHT bat if a Committee was desired he
would insist first that il should go to the Printing
Committee.
Mr. LANINC said this matter involved the charac-
ter of the whole House and the proposed Committee
should be raised 1t was high time that this unli-
oensed mode OF lbelng members should be brought TO
a stand The friends of The TRIBUNE and OF the party
which it supports should sustain the motion.
Ny ARMSTRONG moved that the reporter of TIE
TRIBUNE be expelled from the floor
Mr.. LANlNG-This would be TOO prompt proee-
dure.
Mr.. WOLFORD remarked that he was assured
that the regular reporter Of The TRIBUNE never
wrote this letter Tie charges Of this letter were but
copies Of similar charges every session embodied IN
letters sert out from tho Capitol. ,.,.
Dir. ARMSTRONG refused TO withdraw his resoiu-
ton. 49,, >.., os
MIR MOORE enid THE TRIBUNE was tue organ Oh
the Black Republican party, and he would noid the
Black Republican party responsible tor what II sai1'
Mr.. CHAUNCEI advocated the expulsion Vi lhE
MIR. CHAMBER favored the original resolution.
He could not zee why the press sheuld be permitted
to assa the public servants with IMMUNITY ms as
eault unworthy OF any man. lie could not De-
lieye THE TRIBUNE reporter wrote the letter COM
M. VAN yALKENBURGH thought resolution
of expulsion should follow, not precede, tnal Inc
origin al resolution was equally Objectionable II was
not fair to make up any such omnlttee from one
party. For himself, ne would be willing to act at
the head of any such Committee.
Mr.. LAW opposed the resolution OF expulsion. lie
did not believe THE TRIBUNE reporter wrote the
offensive matter; but the person who DID 50 should be
punished.
Mr. HUBBARD opposed the resolution Of e1.
pulsion. 1t would be hanging man first aud trying
Mr. BARNES-There used 20 be an old Spanish
law which allowed man to be hung first and tried
afterward The authority for citing this law is found
in Don Quixote He therefore opposed the expulsion
resolution and he oppoed the original resolution,
because il was improper and invdious. The gentle
man from Delaware Mr. Law some time ago said he
was go "thick-sknned that he would Mt mind what
the papers said about him. And yet he is the first to
eynce sensitiveness at this article. Very vile as
saults had been made upon Republicans by paper IN
this city, but no Republican thought worth while to
bring the matter before the House.
Mr.. GRAIN moved TO amend the amendment 80 a.
to declare that HE TRIBUNE should nave NO reporter
on this floor hereafter.
Mr.. WAGER wanted Committee to report facts,
but he was opposed to resolution OF expulsion before
inv estgation
Mr.. DURYEA thought it unusual for legislative
bodies to take notice OF anonymous communications
in papers But if this resolution was to be pressed,
he would favor the reference OF the matter TO the
Stand,rg Committee to inquire whether q Select Com
mtee LIQUID be appointed TO make the investigation.
As yet there is nOthiDgtangbe presented, upon which
an Investigating Committee could be passed. III the
articles contained bes LEI prosecution be Instituted
by those deeming themselves sggrieyed
Mr.. GRAIN opposed a Select Committed. IL wOud
be folly TO give SO much importance to anonymous
charles. But lie was for action nevertheless-the
permsne ut expulsion of THE TRIBUSE reporter.
Mr. ARMSTRONG did not believe the offensive
