a Mr.. ROSSEAU rising to q privileged
| question read from the remarks Of Mr.. erin
nell, Of Iowa, made yesterday, as follows:
History reports itself. Il can not say
whether the gentleman, Mr.. Rosseau, was
four yearsin the war on the Union side or
four years on the other side, but say that
he degraded his State and uttered state
ment think unworthy an American officer
when he said that he would do no such an
act on the complaint Of a negro against
| him." r.t.,.f. In -r.-cG eIf-Iaq {
Only this much was read, but the preced-
ing remark to which this referred was as
folloWs;J 81 ..1s3 2ln-,- f9iiHl 70 lah +
@The honorable gentleman from Ken,
! tucky, Mr. Rosseau, declared on Saturday
Las I CAUGHT his usge-tIlat il he were
aErestsdson the .cOuaP PlRiRt-Of . negro, and
brought, before one Of, the agents Of this
| bureau, when he became free he would shoot
the negro" rms tN't- -t't7-
Mr.. RoSsEAU said, 4 pronounce the as
sertion that have degraded myself as a
false, foul SANDER and unworthy to be ut
tered by any gentlemen on this door.
Mr.. GRINNELL-I referred to the gen.
tleman's remarks as understood them, the
| gentleman having withheld them from the
Globe. | had oidesire to do injustice. I
criticised the gentlemans language and
stand by that criticism If did not correct
| ly represent what he said, bA pardon.
Mr.. ROSSEAU-Myo object was not to get
an apology, but to say what have said.
Mr.. .GRIRNELL-Th gentleman's Ian
guage is no offense. stand on my rights
as a member Of this body, and discharge
my duties as understand they should be
discharged. When I criticised the gentle-
mans language / did so from a sense oi
duty, and I Thought that language un-
worthy Of an American officer and of his
State. ....--. In ssrr.r .FI aufs
Mr.. RoSSEAU-I understand that the
gentleman is preacher Of the gospel, and
yet he lacks charity toward all men. an
a new member of this House, and have en-
deavored to behave with the utmost courtesy
It does come with exceedingly bad grace
from the gentleman who slept in safety
while others were fighting on the battlefield
to make such remark concerning me. HC
could not exercise the most ordinary chari-
ty, but when gentleman had gone out o.
his seat he got up to insult him, contrary Il
the rules Of the House.
Mr.. r.GRINNELL-I have only to say that
the gentleman has paraded his profession
Of arms before this House. have not pa
raded mine. The gentleman says am
. - L. 1
man before minister, and Dam an Ameri
can citizen. am not ashamed Of my ori
, gin or profession, and stand by my Con
stitution, my principles, and my country.
The House proceeded to the consideration
of bill giving the assent of Congress +
the transfer Of the Counties Of Berkle,
and Jefferson from Virginia to Westerl
3 Virginia. -l----
(. Mr.. ROGERS, of New Jersey, opposed tn
bill, denying the power of Congress in tn
premises, and contending that the assent c
the Legislature Of Virginia was necessary
ard the subject should be referred to tn
people Of those counties, in order that the,
NAV by votes, determine whether they wer
willing to be thus transferred.
Mr.. LAWRENCE, of Ohio, said that th
consent Of the Legislature of Virginia wa
given, and that a vote was taken by th
, ted in the transfer by the assent Of these pee
f pie. Virginia could not now by al
act, passed by her so-called Legislature
withdraw that assent the act of Congres
was necessary TO complete the arrangement
: Mr.. STEVENS, humorously reviewed th
{ action Of the so-ealled Virginia Legislature
} under Gen. Pierpont, and said the farce wa
too small to be acted upon as the theatl
3 of the great nation, he would vote for th
( bill, believing they could transfer any pol
f ton of conquered territory.
: Mr.. BINGHAM repudiated the dogm
' come from what quarter it might, that Wes
! ern Virginia was conquered territory. Th
loval men there had the right 10 constitut
, State, which they had done. l3fi-
