raj Butler had made his report'
Mr. Goocn--If General Butler had taken money while
in command at Now Orleans and had reported the
fact the government but attempted TO conceal IT, he
committed wrong; but If he has not done this
then the gentleman from New York in calling General
Butler "gold robber, has done wrong 1t seems to
me that the gentleman is the last who would
receive note from gentleman whom he charged with
being gold robber because he thinks he shelter
himself behind his Congressional privileges.
Mr. BRooKs-Has he the gold or not

statements the House could judge whether not he

with the charge, all they could do to ask for
mttec of investigation and not send letter in order to
draw him into controversy. Ho maintained that
he had been fully justified in using the adjective
