cd question, aud caused to be read from
the official report, the remarks OF Mr. Kel-
logg Of ILL.,, that two years ago Mr.. Greeley
was planning and soheming with Douglas,
as the partner OF the latter 10 re-eiect him
TO the Senate, by selling out the politics Of
Ill
Mr.. Morris also caused to be read Mr..
Greeley's publication, denying the truth Of
the charge, any while detesting the Douglas
doctrines, admired his pluck,
Mr. Kellogg replied that if Il were not for
the fact that he had been personally assail-
cd in an infamous article in the Tribune, he
would not have said a word, as ho was anx-
ious for the organization Of the House -
II said that Horace Greeley and Judge
Douglas had been put on trial and be should
hereafter prosecute the Issue.
! Mr. Clark Of Mo-, was called out by re-
mark Of Mr.. Kellogg, that areport prevailed
that according 10 an arrangement the No.,
Senatorship was to be given 10 Mr.. Blair
He believed this charge against Judge Doug
las was a falsehOOd but be dld not attach
| importance to the statements Of Mr.. Gree'
n
acter, and unworthy the notice Of q gentle
man, either in or out OF Congress.
| Mr.. Kellogg repeated that as an issue had
been made he would meet it fairly. He
disclaimed having made an attack on Judge
Douglas. He dealt with Mr., Greeley alone.
Mr.. Logan Of ILL.,, said that the charge
was made to injure Judge Douglas, who is
candidate for the Presidency of the great
north west, an effort was made TO depreciate
Judge Douglas in the estimation Of the south,
by associating him with Mr.. Greeley At
this time he would again notice his oOl-
league, who shirks from the responsibility
Of bringing forward proofs in support Of his
charge, when he (Mr. Logan) made charge
in the Legislature of III and was called for
proof, he did not like spaniel Sslide into
the corner.
At this point Mr. Kellogg who was set
ting near Mr. Logan, deliberately advanced
towards him as with hostile intention, and
Mr.. Logan peroeiving the movement put
himself in the attitude of combat, The
members at once sprang to the scene; some
seizing Mr.. Logan and others restrained Mr..
Kellogg. The greatest excitement prevailed;
members all over the Hall were in agita-
ton The Clerk amid the din Of the stirring
events loudly called for order, and request,
ed the gentlemen TO take their seats, and
soon the two ILL.,, gentlemen were widely
separated.
Mr.. Logan resuming, said he was perfect,
ly cool.
Mr.. Morris of Pennsylvania, called for
the seargent at arms, and order was finally
restored.
Mr. Taylor of Louisiana said that the
time for such proceedings should cease,
| [Applause.
The time has arrived whea this species Of
, discussion which could lead to nothing but
violence, should terminate; and the repre'
sentatives of the people should proceed to
the election quietly and with dignity. They
should have some competent person to pre-,
J serve order.
. Mr.. Logan said that he had yielded the
floor for a moment; gentlemen need have no
apprehension of difficulty between his col
league and himself (hisses.)
Mr. Taylor said that the House should
first be organized and then there would be
an opportunity to discuss all these matters
in order. The interruption Just quieted
woule have terminated in permanent ia.
terruption, and perhaps an adjournment if
it had not been for the Interpolation of the
representative friends of the gentlemen from
III. (Applause.)
Logan remarked that if he was to be hiss.
ed, he would merely say, he had as many
rights here to be respected as any one else.
lApplause,)
Barr said that applause should cease by
clearing the galleries
Grow hoped they would first stop it on
: the floor
Logan resumed his remarks, eulogizing
i highly the character Of Douglas. Pronounl
, ced the charge against him false in every
respect
McClernand produced letter from Doug.
I lac, who branded the charge as false.
Logan commented on the action of the
e Republican party in ILL.,, in terms of repro
bation. He alluded to the fact that in Chi.
cago meeting had been held sympathiznl
| with John Brown, and no Republican raised
his voice against it. In conclusion he ad,
dressed few remarks to the antirLecomp D.
> ton Democrats, urging them to act with tht
!. Democratic party, and let past issues bt
i buried in oblivion,
z Clark of N. Y.-Will the gentle man in
n form us whether he approves of the terrific
rial policy Of the present administration
y y Logan repeat-let past issues sleep il
oblivion. You know the position taken b,
Douglas in ILL.,, AID you know he was tri
umphantly elected.
Clark-Will the Democratic nominee fo
Speaker, if elected, so organize the Commit
tess that Kansas will be admitted withou
4 restriction2
! Logan-I never asked him that question
it never entered into my mind; have en-
tire confidence in the Democratic nominee
Haskin inquired whether, IN case tn
Charleston Convention should adopt q plat
= form in opposition to the views of Douglas
e as expressed in his essay published in tn
Harper's Magazine, and if that Convention
endorsed and approved the conduct of thi
administration, as we'll with regard to it
. Kansas policy as all other matters, he (Lo
GAM would support the nominee of that Con
venti0n2
n Logan replied he was about twenty eigh
e years old, and had lived long enough to dis
a cover that the Democratic party never doe
d wrong. (Laughter,) He had never know
the Democratic party in National Conven
tion, to endorse platform that was not con
g sistent with his views, Having that conf
x denee, he would not anticipate what h
might do, but would say he would vote 70
the nominee of that Convention any how
