Mr.. Cox of0hio, expressed his surprise
at the remarks Of the genu, man from
New York, (Brooks) for ifthe newspapers
were suspended, and, not only the boys
themselves, but the gentleman himself
might want home.
Mr.. Eldridge Of Wisconsin, would like
the gentleman from New York, (Brooks)
to inform him whether the Government
was not now furnishing homes TO editors
Of newspapers in the forts Of the North

sor Uimself, he was not an organ Of the
Administration.
Mr.. Herman Of New York, desired to say
few words, coming as he did from q
State where the people were greatly ag-
grieved from spssmodic energy which

Mr.. Herman said that it would be Idle to
protect newsboys, if we do not protect
citizens whose rights have been yiolsted.

his views on this grand inquest Of the ns-
tion, he desired that an express section be
added to the bill, providing that the press
shsll not be suppressed BY the arbitrary
will Of an executive.

effects on the well being OF the country
and to show that whenever an executive
officer should, by mistake or from impulse
do an act, the tendency Of which was tC
ALLEVIATE the people, the Government wa
proportionstely weakened.
Mr.. Stevens, of Pennsylvania, hoped tn
gentleman from New York Mr.. Herman
would not now be allowed TO go on an!
