bludgeon or heavey stick. This other gentlemen
knew, and therefore pulled off my coat to be
on the alert. He did not think the word bark had
been used Now in regard to that portion of the
Senator's remarks in reference to me acknowledging
myself dog canine character, disgracefuly
! assumed" &c, L have only to say, answered tho
Senator from Orange on that occasion, and have
nothing to regret In conclusion, Mr.. Speaker said
Mr.. Guyther holding up and pointing to the "re-
port in the Register, have only to say that this
is garbed report full of alsehoods, and that the
author or authors are palpable liars.
MIR. Miller said the report was correct so far as
it referred to him. He had sanctioned part of it
and told the reporter" it was true, and he was
responsible for that much of it He had done moth
ing bit what his conscience approved and he would
do the same over again. The proceedings had been
garbled in paper famous for garbng, or no notice
would have been taken of it by the Register
Mr.. Guyther said, he had not Mr.. Miller in his
eye-he did not know Mr. Miller had anything to
do with it; but if he held himself responsible, he,
| (Mr. GuytherO had nothing to take back. 49,,
Mr.. Cowper said he was responsible her or else
where for much ofthe report" as referred to him.
Mr.. Leach said the report was correct and he was
reported nearly correctly" He did not knoao aoho
the reporter acas Ifany gentleman was dissatisfied
with anything he had said "let him come to me and
it will be properly settled"
Mr. Guyther did not intend his remarks to apply
to Mr. Leach. He appealed to the Senators from
Person and Richmond to say if he had not been mis-
represented in the Register.
Mr.. Turner acknowledged writing out the remarks
attributed to him. He claimed the responsibility of
! them. He said the report" not claimed to
be full. He read the note appended to it by the ed
itor or reporter to show this. Some Senators had
seen the report before it went into the paper and
"approved it" He thought Mr. Guyther had moth
ing to complain Of He had said nothing to him
that night nor Mr.. Guyther to him. He came over
to that side of the chamber and he thought had &C
ted improperly, and he did say that he must be ex-
cused from considering Mr.. G. in his canine charac-
ter. He, Mr.. 7. denied all knowledge of the stick
| He had called gentleman-a son of Mr.. Badgers
to enquire the tine he desired to know how long
they had been Simpsons case. He saw no stick
with him. and he had since enquired of that gentle
man, hearing this report, to know il he had such a
thing, and was answered that he (Badger) had not
even a cane. lie asked if any Senator had heard
| him ask for stick, or had seen any placed near
him. If then, Mr. Guythcr had pulled off his coat
because of stick, it was under a misrepresentation
of the facts.
A message from the House was here disposed Of
Mr.. Guyther desired to say one word more.
Mr.. Speaker. The chair must take the RESPONSE
bility of allowing nothing more on this subject.
| MIR. Guyther resumed his seat
Mr.. Turner said he had given way for the message.
The Speaker refused to allow any more to be said.
The business of the day was then proceeded with.
[,Ny In connection with this subject the Senate
Reporter of this paper would ask the Senate Rcpor.
ter of the Register if he means by the note append
ed to his Senate proceedings in the issue of Satur
day last to say that he wrote any of the reports
referred to and if they were not all written OF
caused to be written and furnished for publication
by Mr.. Turner" These questions seem very easy
to answer. And this Reporter asks further if the
Register Reporter ought to have written the note
alluded to? 1t is disingenuous and pettifoggsh to
say the least of it.

ness.
