The Senate Is not in session to- lay, hay
/ ing adjourned over till Monday.
/ liUUsE.-Afr. Morris, Of ILL.,, rising to a
privileged question, causedsto be read from
the official report, thereniark Of ATr. yEIef-
logg, OF ILL.,, that two years ago Mr. Cree
! ley was planning and, schcming with
Douglas in the parlor of the latter, to re-
elect him to the Senate by selling out the
lpolitics OF Illinois, 3ir. Morris also caused
to be read, Mr.. Greeley s publication de-
nying the truth of the charge, and wllilc
detesting the Douglas doctrines, admired
his pluck.
Mr.. Kellogg replied that, but for the fact,
that he had been personally assaulted in an
infamous article in the 2sf5aae, he would
not have said a word, as he was anxious
for the organization of tho House. He
said. that Horace Greeley and Judge Doug
las had been put on triai, and he should
hereafter prosecute the issue
Mr.. Clark, OF Mo-, was called out by
rcmarl5 Of Mr.. Kellogg that report had
prevailed that, according to an arrange
ment, the Missouri ScnatorsIlip was TO be
given to Mr.. Blair. Hehelieycl this charge
against Judge Douglasswas u ialsehood:
but he did not attach importance to the
statement of AR. reGlcy, whom he be-
lievcd to be thief of character, and UNI
worthy Of the notice Of gentleman either
in or out of Congress.
Mr. Kellogg repeatedsthat as an issue
had becn.made, he would meet it fairly.
HaIdisclhimcd having made an attack on
Judge Douglas. He dealt with Mr.. Gree
ley alone.
Mr.. Logan of ILL.,, said that the charge
was made to injurc Judge Douglas, who is
the candidate for the Presidency of the
great Northwest. Ans effort was made to
dcpreciatc Judge Douglas in the estimation
of the South, by assoeieting him with Mr.
Greeley. From. this time he would never
again notice his colleague, who shrinks
from the responsibility of bringing for
ward proofs in support of his Charge
When he, MIR. Logan, made q charge in the
Legislature of Illinois, and was called on
forproof, he did not, lilioa spaniel, sink
in the corner. At this point, Mr.. Kellogg,
who was sitting near Dir. Logan, deliber-
RtcIy advanced toward him as if with a
hostile intention, and Mr.. Logan percciv-
ing the movement, put. himself i'll the atti-
tude of combat. The members at once
sprung to the scene, some Selling Mr.. Lo-
gan, aud others restraining Mr.. Kellogg
amid thc.grcatest excitement, members ali
over the Hall in agitation. The Clerk,
amid the din and stirring events, loudly
called for order, and requested the gentle
men TO take thir seats. Soon the two IL
linois gentlemen werc.widcly separated.
Ar. Logan rcsuuing, said he was per-
fectly cool.
Mr.. Morris of Pa, called for the Ser
ge:tnt at Arms. Order was finally rcsto-
red.
Mr.. Taylor of La, said Chat the time for
such proceedings should cease (Ap-'
plause-) The time has arrived when this
species of debate, which could lead to
nothing but violence should terminate, and
the representatives of the people should
proceed to the election quietly and with
dignity. Thcy should have some compc-
tent person to preserve good order.
Mr.. Logan said that lie had yielded the
floor only for moment; gentlmen need
have no apprehepsiops Of a difficulty be-

first get organized ana then there would
be an opportunity to discuss all these mat
tiers in order. The interruption just quiz
etcd would have terminated i'll Il pcrmu-
ncnt interruption and perhaps, in an add
journmcnt, if it had not been for the in
terruption of the respective friends OF the
gentlemen from Illinois. (Applnusc.)
Mir. Logan remarked that if he WAS to
be Missed, he should merely say he had rs
many rights here to lie respected as amy
one else. (Applause.)
Mr.. Barr said that the applause would
cease by clearing the gollcsics:
Mr. Grow hoped they would first stop it
Mr.. Logan resumed his remarks and
culogiscd the high character OF Douglas,
and pronounced the charge against him as
false in every respect.
Mr.. MeCIclland produced letter from
Mr.. DongiAs, which branded the charge as
false
Mr. Logan commented on the action of
the Republican party in Illinois in terms
OF reprohltion, and alluded to the fact
that in Chicago, meetings had been held,
sympatlGising with John Brown, and no
Republican raised his voice againt it. III
conclusion, he advanced few remarks to
the auti-Lecompton Democrats, urging
them to actwith the Democratic party and
let past issues be buried in oblivion.
Mr. Clark of n. Y.-Will the gentleman
inform me whether he approves the Terri
tori;;l policy Of the present AduniniStra-
ton?
MIR. Logan repeat, let past issues
sleep ia oblivion. You know the position
taken by Mr.. Douglas in Illinois and you
know he was triqmph:'ntly elected that is
enough.
Mr.. Clar!1-Till the Democratic nomi-
nee for Speaker, if elected, SO organize the
committees that Kansas shall be admitted
without restriction.
Mr.. Logan-zI never asked him that ques-
ton. 1t never entered into my mind. 1
have entire confidence in the Democratic
nominee.
Mr.. Haskin injured whether, in case
the Charleston Convention should Gdopta
Mr.
Douglas, as expressed in his essay pub
lished in Lalper's Magazine, and if that
Convention endorsed and approved the
conduct of this Administration, as well
with regard to its Kansas policy, MS all
other ma ters he would sil1lnnrt tho nn1ni-
