The House then adjourned.
On Monday, the House considered Mr..
Colhx's resolution 10 expel Mr.. Long, of
Ohio.
Mr.. Bliss, Of Ohio, did not concur in
the views Of Mr.. Long, but understood
his colleague to express only his W
opinion, and to prefer The recognition OF
the Confederacy only as a choice between
that and the subjugation Of the south
lie { Bliss) thought that Colfax, in offer.
ing the resolution for the expulsion Of
Long, was mistaken in his construction Of
Longs speech.
Fernando Wood spoke against the ex.
pulsion of Long. He referred to a speech
OF the Mayor OF Baltimore in 1861, in
which the Mayor said hat Secretary
Chase said he was willing 70 recognize
the South.
Mr.. Ashley, Of Ohio, denied that Mr..
Chase ever said SO.
Ms. Wood replied that Mr.. Chase him
self would deny that he said SO. Mr..
Wood here sent up TO be read a campaign
document. in which it was represented
that leading Republicans had expressed
themselves in favor of the dissolution Of
the Union. He believed that our Gov
eminent would act in a proper spirit by a
negotiation. Peace could be restored
without firing another gun. He was not
in favor of the recognition or The seces-
sion Of the Southern States, but in favor
OF doing justice to the Southern people,
by endeayoring 10 restore them to The
Union with all their Constitutional rights.
Mr.. Schenck, Of Ohio, 10 reply to Mr..
Wood, said he (Schenck) did not belong
to any such school. He (Schenck) was
for having no conference with rebels in
arms, looking TO their recognition. He
was for so effectually putting down the re-
bel!ion that it would never raise its hydra
head again. The mere intimation of
peace had been sco,ned by the rebels, yet
gentlemen here would crawl on their bel
lies and lick the rebels first. Mr.. Schenck
spoke in %scornlul terms OF Woods con.
duct, saying he would bow to the rebels
10 restore the Democratic party 10 place
and power.
MIR. Voorhees,, OF indiana, entered into
no question rs to the merits of what Long
had said; meantime, II Representative in
Congress had a right to express bis pub
lie sentiments in behalf Of his onstiluents,
in a decorous and becoming manner
This was all that Long had done. Had
Schenck lived in other days, he woulc
, have been among the mob who demanded
the crucifxion OF Christ, or those whit
burned John Rogers at the stake. The
language uttered by Schenck was more
: becoming a degraded burlieu than it wa
: the presence or hearing of gentlemen.

MIR. Colfax asked the House 10 Sc

Mr.. Pendleton raised the question tina
the language was supplementary calling
the gentleman from Maryland a traitor
, The Speaker pro tenn. overruled the
point OF order, deciding in substance tina,
r ii was not supplementary 10 call tn
gentleman from Maryland n traitor, sine
a majority Of the House had voted to cen
sure him Tor the expression Of treasonab!
sentiments.
II Mr.. Harris TO Mr.. Orth--You are
U liar.
y Mr.. Orth replied that the vile slobbel
d ings Of one convicted Of treason ie
silent at his feet.
k Mr.. Orth replied at length to Voorhee
Mr.. kasson thought it was the rig
=. and duty of the Government 10 put dow
rebellion. lie was opposed TO son
. measures OF the Administration. but it W
= die to talk bout peace while arme
irebels are in the country.
Mr.. Davis, of Maryland, said the que
is ton was not whether the speech delivert
I'd by the gentleman from Ohio was treaso
x. able within the law, but whether he WI
t.. worthy to be a Representative. He IN
Of Davis did not envy gentlemen who 7
ho fused to expel II gentleman from Il
