Mr.. WHITE, of Green county
presented in the House of Repre-
sentatives yesterday, a protest,
signed by himself and several other
members, against the action of the
House in regard to the charges
against Speaker Richards in connec
ton with the "school fund" After
leave had been granted to spread
the protest on the journal, an effort
was made to reconsider that action,
but the matter was discussed until
the House was reduced below quo
rum. In the course of the debate,
Mr. White declared that it was by
an extraordinary pressure brought
to bear upon members of the House
that the acquittal of the Speaker was
secured. 1t was this pressure that
caused the abandonment Of the in
vestigation and the whitewashing OF
so many leaders of the Radical
party. The terrible disclosures
which that investigation were bring
ing to light threatened the annihila-
ton of the party, ahd the matter had
TO be hushed up.
