ass,iled and her safety imperilled by the cir
culation of that document, that objection to
his election should be persisted in The gen
tleman has passed the day OF grace lie has
been arraigned before the country. He,
Clark would never withdraw the resolution
Mr.. RUST referred to the course OF Mr..
Sherman on the army appropriation bill in
1856, wnen he offered an amendment that no
part OF the military be employed To aid in the
execution of the so called territorial legislation
of Kansas, until Congress should have decided
whether it was valid or not, and that in the
meantime the President preserve the peace,
disarm the militia, cries from the Republican
side, "That was right, and, added Mr.. Rust,
to prevent armed men from going there.
Renewed cries of "That's rightly |, said
Mr. Rust, think that the President has no
right to dsarm the militia. That would be vi
oation OF the constitution, as the people have
by it the right to bear arms.
Mr.. GRow-that is just what Gov. Geary
did.
Mr. RUsK-It is a constitutional right of
which citizens could not be deprived.
Mr. HINDMAN spoke of Mr.. Sherman's
course on the bill introduced by Mr.. Green
wood last session, to prevent negro stealing
in the Indian territory. Mr.. Sherman with
drew his objection to its introduction, after
brief explanation that while men go into the
lSITllOIH u SlCdl uGSlOGS Win
sell them in the southern states. Mr.. Hind
man drew from this an inference untavorable
to MIR. Sherman. He asked the latter whether
lie would oppose the admission of any slave
holding state into the Union.
Mr.. SHERMAN referred TO the platform of
the Republican party, if the gentleman would
show him what it said on the subject.
Mr.. HINDMAN asked if the Republicans
were muzzled or whether wiliul violation Of
the Constitution was required at their hands.
Mr.. EDGERToN said when the proper time
came, he would answer the question
Mr.. Cox referred to the resolutions of the
Ohio Legislature of 1857, instructing the Sen
ators and requesting the Representatives from
Ohio to vote against the admission of any state
into the Union, unless slavery or Involuntary
servitude, except for crime, be excluded from
the constitution thereof.
Mr.. CAREY said he was the oldest member
of the Ohio delegation, and he approved of
those resolutions.
Mr. EDGERToN remarked that he would give
his opinion.
Mr.. HINDMAN did not want to know his
opinion, but whether he would comply with
the request.
Mr.. EDGERToN said he would answer in his
own way.
Mr.. THEAKER, speaking in a loud voice
amid the confusion, said he would have no OBJ
lection at proper time to tell the House and
the country the opinions he entertained on the
vexed question Of slavery, but he wanted the
House to know that he was not to be interro-
gated and have words put into his mouth.
Mr.. MCQUEEN, his voice rising above the
great confusion, ironically moved that the
Ohio members be committed for contempt, in
not answering the gentleman from Arkansas.
Mr.. HINDMAN readily acquiesced in the sug-
UQSfiOn anid ppalS of lpuphtar and cries

Mr.. CoLFAx put in few words, asking Mr..
Hndman "when your democratic nominees
for Speaker Bocock and Millson, were asked
questions, were they not dumb and opened not
their mouths" (Laughter) The confusion
had now reached its highest pitch, when Mr..
GROW called attention to the resolution here
tofore passed, for the preservation OF order,
both on the floor and in the galleries.
The Clerk, in response, said that yesterday
he made an appeal for the preservation of or
der, but it could not be maintained in the gal
leries while members themselves violated the
rules.
Mr.. GARNETT asked, have not the CALLER.
les the same right to applaud as members. on
the floor
The CLERK was not of that opinion, but he
did not feel that he could ENFORCE order in the
galleries unless assisted by members on the
floor.
Mr.. HINDMAN cordially concurred in the
point of order. 1t would have come more OPP
portunely if it had been presented when Mr..
Sherman addressed the House, and there was
uproarious applauding on the floor and in the
galleries.
Mr.. GRow-The gentleman has not seen
me applaud. So far as applause on the Repub-
lican side was concerned, it was only in q linz
tied degree The disorder was terminated
Mr.. HINDMAN wanted the repeated disorder
to be stopped, and in the course of his remarks
in reply to Mr.. Sherman, said he had long
been practicing lawyer, but he had never
known an Indictment to be withdrawn on mo-
ton of the defendant, that he might explain
his past course Therefore he approved of the
determination of Mr.. Clark of Missouri not
to withdraw his resolution.
