HOUSE.
The House resumed the consideration of Mr.
Wnslow's resolution for subpGnaing certain
witnesses before the Covode investigating
committee.
Mr.. TRAIN said that his sense of duty would
never allow the minority to dictate the dlrec-
ton of business. lie would however, listen
to any suggestions from his colleague on the
committee (Winslow), as he had always done,
with due Differences but he repeated that he
could not allow him, or II minority, to dictate
to majority We are held responsible, and
therefore should pursue our own way.
Mr.. CLARKE of Missouri-Did | understand
the gentleman to say that the republicans have
Il majority OF the House
Mr.. TRAIN-Perhaps L ought to qualify the
assertion that the republican party is RESPONSE
bic for the legislation of this house. We shall
be held responsible to some extent for the con-
duct of this committee, and for the resolutions
Mr.. WNsLow-Is it out of order
Mr. TRAIN-I do not include the gentleman
that is enough.
Mr.. BoTELLER-Does the gentleman include
any member Of the southern opposition 1t is
an imputation upon the party to which | have
the honor to belong.
Mr.. WINsLow thought that his friend from
Massachusetts, whose gentlemanly bearing he
appreciated, had fallen into an error, with re-
gard to the testimony he sought relative to the
election in Westmoreland, Pa. The refusal to
grant his request for the subpGnas was unjust
and inQutous.
Mr.. COyoDE replied.
number of private bills were passed, when
the House went into committee for general de-
bate. The Senate amendments from the mill
tary committee, to erect an arsenal on the Red
river; to erect barracks at Fort Cobb, in the
Indian territory appropriating for the support
of one regiment of mounted volunteers in
Texas, S79S, 900; for repairs and continuation
of work on various Notifications 81 l55, 900 !;
and a number of others were offered and de-
bated.
Mr.. STEWART of Mary land, made speech
in reply to his colleague, Mr.. Davis, who sew
eral months ago attacked the delegates of that
state for censuring him for voting for repub
lican speaker, Mr.. Pennington
Mr.. Davis said the House delegates expires.
sion Of opinion was sheer piece of impert-
nence.
Mr.. STEWART asked whether his colleague
thought the people of Maryland would sustain
him.
Mr.. DAVIS had no mode of ascertanng
this till the fall election and perhaps not then,
for he did not suppose his personal conduct
would be an issue but he had no doubt that
when the time came he would find enough to
sustain him in and out of his district.
Mr.. STEWART said it was a libel on Mary
land to say she would sustain him. She was
perfectly sound on the slavery question. If
the question in issue between himself and col
league were submitted to the public, the latter
would not get more than corporal's guard,
or about as many as Fremont received there.
His colleagues course had animated and
strengthened the republican party in Mary
land. In reply to remark of Mr. Stewart, lie
said on reliable authority, that Fillmore does
not and will not support the Chicago nominees.
Mr.. MORRILL, took the floor, when Mr.
CRAIGE of North Carolina, raised the point of
order that there was no quorum. He was tired
Of making the House debating society, and
Of printing speeches never delivered. Every
man who voted to go into committee in order
that gas might be let OFT, had left. He resisted
all appeals to Withdraw his objection, The
committee rose and the House adjourned.
