Boz BENNETT is a boy always liked ILsugh-

to say whether in the votes cast there has been a
party vote. Members upon both sides OF this alley
have voted "ays and "no." There mas been no
party vote uponthi question; each gentleman voted
the way he believed right l do not think it ought

Mr.. BENNETT, Mr. Speaker Isimply wish to
announce that hope my friend from Wilson (Hr.
Martini did not understand that was impugsing
bis motives stated the other day that have
warm and devoted personal feelings for him; have
the highest opinion Of MS goodness and his intel
feet aud have, moreover, q very exalted opinion
OF his hoeraiiy; and, moreover will say he is
IKE myself pretty strict psrtLan. l know some
Tunes ind ny party feelings carry me off when
am not sensible of the fact. But do not believe
| the gentleman Il will do him that much ;ustice)
opposes the Legislative Union and American upon
party grounds, and it is very plain and fair to my
mlnd that he wants his city papers subscribed for
here and because our side Of The House will not
come up and vote for his five, he wants to cut US
down. As. far as the Reporter Of the Legislative
| OHlo1 ded 41lerlean is concerned do not desire
an lmpeffsct report. 1t may be, sir, DO not know
how 1t Is, that no Reporter We could obtain could
give perfect and complete report Of everything
inst is said it snot the intention Of the proprie-
tors of the Legislative paper to do they do Dcs
propose to do so, but they do give vs. what iaev do
fair and impartiay As far as the Rs2orter is con.
cerned no person Intended to reAsct upon him OF
impugu hls motives know. The gentleman from
Wilson (AIr. Mariiu) would be the last nan that
would want 10 see the LegisIqitee Union and Amsri
can cease To exist, because it is most important
matter to this House that should retain that Re-
porter; 1t l. creditabe to the House, and nothing
should be said that would be offensive. l have TO-
wards the gentleman from Wilson Mr.. Martin TIE
most profound feelings of personal respect. die
bot mean any disrespect when called him veneer
able consider be is notvery old, but at the same
| time remember him IN my youth with pride and

House would come up and say We will 90 all five
Of tae city papers l would vote for it because
