House-Mr. Barry presented memorial of resi-
dents in the city of New Orleans setting forth their
grievances and praying an amendment Of the city
charter. =
The presentation OF this memorial elected some
| excitement. MIR. Barry stated that be bad been re-
quesed to present it, he did so as an act OF courtesy
bot would remark that he did not know why it had
been given to him, instead of its being presented by
member from New Orleans. He presented It
simply as an act of courtesy to the gentlemen max
ing the request, at the same time diseiaiming any
knowledge of its contents. He did not know what
should be done with it, but thought probably IL had
better be referred to the Judiciary Committee.
Mr.. Lumsden moved that the memorial be rejected.
To this Mr. Barry objected and the motion was with
4 drawn. Subsequently Mr.. Adams attempted to call
it up for the purpose of moving that it be rejected
He said that the memorial contained the most unmit
gated falsehoods and was disgrace to those who got
It up He admired the cooIness and impudence Of
the individual who had taken upon himself TO bring
it here and lay COPY upon the table of the members
of this House. IL was an insult to the delegation
from the city and an insult to its citizens He said it
was signed mostly by persons in the Custom -Honse
One of the signers (J L. Winter) has had his char
acter weighed by jury of his own countrymen. and
that jury in trial for SANDER estimated it at the high
price of one cenf! Mr.. Adams took the occasion to
disclam any disrespect to his friend Judge Barry,
who he was certain would never have presented the
memorial had he known its falsehoods He insisted
upon his motion to take the memorial up and that it
be rejected.
MIR. Lumsden said he made the motion to reject the
memorial when it was presented, but upon the sug.
geston that the sensbility of the gentleman who in
troduced it might construe a motion to dispose Of
the memorial in so summary manner as mark Of
dsrespect to him, this Mr.. Lumsden disclaimed and
for this he Withdrew his motion.
Mr.. Barry For the satisfaction Of the gentleman
would say he had no sensiblites which would SC
construe the motion to reject the memorial He
however, stood upon the right of petition. The me
mortal under the rule could not be taken up and re
Jected to-day.
The Speaker decided with Mr.. Barry and the mat.
ter was dropped for the time being.
