Laughter. l | These four votes might be had as there were a number ot desirable executive appointments to give out. but that required nice engineering. MT. MlLLlSON, of Virginia caused DOT ton of the Manual to be read to show that Mir. i Fenton himself had committed a breach of the privileges of the House in reporting his re- solution to the House.
 | MT. WARREN said he would raise his pont | or order. The chan must see that it was no | question of privilege, and 1t was radically wrong to allow him to proceed He hoped, there tore that the chair would determine at once the question which he raised.
 | The SPEAKER stated that he must all,y the gentleman from New York to proceed be- fore deciding the point of order. | Mir. HOARD then proceeded to read from the New York Tribune a paragraph stating in substance, that it was understood until Monday last that MT. Burns of Ohio. would onn)se inc Lecompton constitution, but that on the morn- lng ot that day he had changed his mind on the understanding that his son-in-law shonld retaln the valuable place of postmaster at keo- kuk, and that he himself should be appointed marshall oi the northern district of that St ate at the close of his congressional service. He next read from the Constitution of the United D ateS and Washlngton's Farewell Ad lr,ss 10 sustain his position. He desired to say that all this rumor required that they should vndicate by ehls examination the dignity and prerogative of the House.
 MT. WARREN said that he could not sneak TOT the other side of the House, bat he would | say thaC Ills side coull not be bribed. because tney were not made of that sort of mate rial - II the gentleman attempted to insinuate that | there was man upon his side of the House who conld be influenced by the hope of reward to tahe any action at all, he had mistaken his character altogether. They would see that his point was we'll taken. that it was not a nri- vlleged question. If they wanted to attack the President, the cabinet, or the democratic party, they should come up aud attack him openly, and they would meet them. but not at tempt to stab him in the dark.
 The SPEAKER stated that he had heard the statement of Mir. Hoard and it was his opinion that there was nothing in it that insti- liei the resolution. However, he would not undertake to say that this was not a question of privilege, but would refer the question to the House for it's decision.

If the member would rise in his place and make alterations against the Chief M .gistrate, let him do jt and they would meet them promptly Bat he ma !e no such statement, aud it was time to put an end to such frivolity He therefore moved that the whole subject be laid on the table.
