whore" for anything he might have said In regard
to the head Of the Provost Marshals Bureau or any
other official It was cheap mode of ciawiog of
from an impairment and ungsntlemanly attack for
the member from Maine to have interpreted the
| words there or elsewhere" as limiting at n duel,
and he IMr. O. i would here say that his Knowledge
Of the member would never have allowed him to ex.
pect to get from him any satisfaction of that kind
Mr.. COakling then explained that he had simply
Substituted the words at all times and places for
" here or eIsewhere;m but denied that this or any
other slight alteration which he had made, in any
manner lesseued his responsibility for his words or
had the effect Of placing any member Of the House
in false position. And he would throw back to
the member the imputation to which that member
had given utterance The time was far hence, he
trusted when he should sit at the feet Of the mem.
Der from Maine to learn from him the rules Of pro-
prety and the principles Of honor.
Mr.. Blaine briefly replied, making an ironical
allasion to the brilliant reputation for courage
which the gentleman from New York had gained in
the Thirty.seVonth Congress
Mr. Conkling. In his rojoinder, abiding to the
estimation In which he held tho gentleman from
Maine said that he felt 1t due, no less to himself
than to the House, to say that he owed an apology
to his fenow-membes Tor having occupied SO much
OF their time In his remark on this matter.
Mr. MORRILL, EXPOSES A YANKEE TRICK OF THE
CANADIANS.
Mr. Morrill,, from the Committee on Ways and
Means. reported a. bill imposing q duty on live
animals" Tho bill provides that "on and after
the passage Of this act there shall DO lowed col.
lected and paid oil horses, mules, cattle sheep,
and live animals, q duty Of twenty per cent ad
paLOrem."l
Mr. Morrill, proc,eGe to explain that since the
expiration Of the reciprocity Treaty there had
been duty upon the importation of live animals,
and that taking advantage of this fact, the Cana.
dians, with a touch Of Yankee ingenuity, had re.
sorted to tho expsdent of smuggling wool with inn
punity, by driving their locks across the line,
shearine them on this side, and then driving them
back again. As the matter was one which dc.
manded immediate legislation, and to which no
reasonable objection could DO urged, he would ask
that the bill should be put upon It's passage.
The bill was accordingly taken up and passed
