Representative NIungcn's Late Specci,-Ua-
warranted Attacls Upon senator Sumner.
In the House to-day Mr.. Dawes took Mr.. Mungen
of ohio. TO task for speech which appeared In the
columns OF the Globe Of last Sunday. The speech
was not delivered IN the House, but made its way
into the Globe by Mungen obtaining leave to print
some remarks on Cuba. II Is generally bitter on
the policy OF the administration towards Cuba,
and particularly personal towards Senator Sumner.
Mungcn adyerls TO him in terms that are any
thing but cnolce parliamentary. 1t was this
part OF the speech that drew the attention oil Mr
Dawes, and caused him TO offer resolution to-day
directing the Committee on Rules 10 inquire into the
prcprlety OF censurlny Mr. Mungen for violating The
privilege OF the House. Mungen made a defence OF
himself, and while pitching into Sumner dislaIned
nything offensive or personal in his remarks. The
resolution, however was adopted, az large ma
orty OF the House, democrats wei republicans.
regard the speech as departure not only from the
rules OF parliamentary debate. but from rules OF
decency. The portions OF the speech which called
forth Mr.. Dawes resolution were those In which he
alludes to Mr.. Sumner and compares him to the
eunuchs OF history. lie quotes from history such
characters as rulers OF the Byzantine empire, and
compares them 10 Sumner. Very much OF the
speech is unfit for print and Mungen could moi have
delivered 1t in the House.
