Mr. Houston again asked to be excused from

marks expressive Of his astonishment Mt the

MED him.
Mr: Taylor took similar view and felt COM
PoAcu ~ seA'Eespect ~ " 0Sheu 10 oe excused
from service on the Judiciary Committee.
Mr. Hickman said this matter never excited
any feelings in his breast, and indeed very lit
tie interest. LIE had no mal1gnity Of feeling to
gratify. He acted simply in the performance Of
plain duty. In reference to the charge Of dis
courtesy, he must say he did not recognize a
minority report at oil. Such action on the part
Of minors was an INVASION of proper and legiti-
mate parliamentary practice.
Pending the question on excusing Houston
and Taylor, the House adjourned.
