bility OF an extra session with the Execu.
tive or Senate.
Mr.. BROOKS asked whether the Presi.
dent desired to call an extra session.
Mr.. BUTLER-I really do not know; l
have never asked him; l do not propose
to; If did, l should not be like some
men who come forward and retail his
opinions here to carry their point. What
has made it a necessity for an extension
of time is because in one branch Of q
certain parliamentary body q speech was
made, which intercepted public bust
ness, Of four hours duration, intended to
destroy the Republican party, and that
was followed by speech of two hours
long on the same proposition.
Mr.. HOLMAN objected that it was not
in order to refer to what had occurred in
the Senate.
Mr.. BUTLER protested that he had not
said word about the Senate.
The SPEAKER sustained the point Of
order.

he did not think that Congress would get
off in o fortnight.

SPEAKER and Mr.. ELDRDGE, in which
each spoke OF the other as having been
grossly disrespectful, but which ended in
mutual compliments, expressing respect,

on Monday, June 10, expressing his belief
that the Senate would agree to that.
After some dilatory motions, Mr. RAN
DALI made proposition that no business
be done during the days Of the Philadel.
phia Convention.
Mr.. DAWES said he intended to move to
adjourn from Tuesday next to Thursday
or Friday.
Mr.. STEVENSON said there was no such
agreement in the case Of the Cincinnati
Convention. Laughter.
Mr.. DICKEY-It had no representative
here.
Mr.. CAUGHLIN made some remarks in
reference to public bills pending, meaning
the Ku.Klux, enforcement and civilrights

Mr.. FLANAGAN said the session would
probably be prolonged by political
speeches, but the responsibility was upon
the enemies Of the administration. Sum
NER and SoHURz like two volcanoes, had
spurted out their political lava, thinking
the Senate must adjourn on Monday, and
there would be no time to answer them,
but they were mistaken, for they would
be answered and answered successfully.
Mr.. FLANAGAN then proceeded to review
the history ofpolitical parties.
Mr.. CoLE-I wish to appeal to my
friend from Texas, to let US proceed with
the public business. The House has Just
taken recess, having nothing to do.

Mr., BAYARD said II an extra session
should become necessary 1t would not be
the fault of the minority, because they
