WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.
HousE.-Mr. Kellogg rose With . question
'of privilege, and caused TO be read m article
from the N. Y. Tribune. Mr.. X. wanted to
show the false position Mr.. Greedy holds to
the Republican party. When his ksilogg's)
constituents complain Of him, then il would
be time for the government OF New York to
complain. II the Republicans have any re-
gard for their own dignity they will rsbnke
those who, by trsashary, prepare papers for
others to sign. When the struggle in Hi.
nois commenced, Mr.. Greeley and others,
met in the parlor Of Senator Douglas. and
planned to sell Illinois and Missouri. He (Kl
knew it and could prove the never loveda
traitor. The idea Was to make Mr.. Douglas
Senator, which was done. Mr.. Douglas in
the meantime Was declaiming that ne was
Democrat. When the battle had been fought
Mr.. Greeley did say MIR. %. was free soiler.
Good for him. He (K.) had ne knowledge
or recollection that he signed the recon.
mendation for the Helper book-he never
saw it. There was not man 10 his district
who would trample upon the constitutional
rights Of the South. The North IL becoming
less and less democratic, and the South
stronger and stronger democratic; and the
time would soon come when the great major
ity Of the people will be Republican.
Mr.. McClernsnd replied that ii such con.
sultation occurred, how come his colleague
(Kellogg) to know it Ii the consultation
was private, he as an individual would have
scorned to reveal il. IL Was strange that
such charge should now be made, after it
to defeat Douglass reelection, employing
mn IA ~ hat ,,A
was raised.
Mr.. Kellogg, in reply, said he Was not At
the conference, but what be stated Was the
fact.
MIR. Duell offered resolution, which was
adopted, inviting the nlergymen Of the city
to open House with prayer.
Mr.. Morris, Of Illinois, wanted to know
from his colleague his authority for the
statement alleging IN agreement between
Douglas and MIR. Greeley, such - had been
charged.
Mr.. K. did not think proper to make the
declaration.
Mr.. Morris replied. it be had been in a
private pArlor be should not have detailed q
private conversation. This was the first time
he had heard that charge. He believed there
Was not one iota OF truth in il. Douglas
| Was elected by the Democracy oil that State,
which had adopted him a. its son. He said
= few more such scenes a. those Of yester
day and We should hear the crack OF the
| revolver and sec the CLEAN oil the FURNISHED
blade.
