| When the experimenting was S"eUe>
the roll was called, and the minority repo
&c 1suring York was adopted.
Then up came the report on the
PoMERoY INVESTIGATION.
Mr.. Fred Hutchings, the chairman OF tn
oo nmjttee on the part of the House Gale
ND the resolution, as the hour for lite consid
Grafton had arrived, and the contest wake
warm enough. Four solid hours were os
cupied in speeches of two, three and hv
minutes duration. TIE debate was not on
resolution to adopt either report, but on
resolution causing the testimony TO be pub
lished and placed on file in the Office OF IT,
Secretary of State. That motion prevailet
when the vote was taken shortly after mid
night. In the meantime the Legislature re-
scinded its copcurrent resolution to adjourn
at IL p. m.
During the progress of the debate Mr.
Pomeroy was spoken of as corrupt old ras
cal, snd Mr.. York was alluded to a. per
jured villain. Col. York and Col. Judas L.
CARROT were compared frequently in the
speeches. Noone on the Pomeroy side OF the
House seemed to consider that it was any
greater sin to betray Christ than TO be,ray
Pomeroy.
WINTER AND YORK.
| The Senate devoted itself to business near
| ly sll day and during the night session.
Along towards eleven o'clock at night Sena-
tor York with copy of THE TINES in hand,
arose TO question of privilege and read the
speech of Senator Winter. He said there
was no record of such language in the rec
ord. of the Senate, and therefore asked Mr..
Winter if he had spoken in such terms.
Mr.. ". declined to be INTERCEPTED. and it
was made point Of order by Senator Price
tina. the Montgomery county Senator
shonld not he permitted TO interrcgate the
Senator from Leavenworth county, and the
President decided the "poin." as good one.
Thereupon Mr.. York proceeded with his
speech addressing himself to Mr.. Winter,
who sat near him. Mr.. York regretted that
such language had been used-e1tremely re-
GREETED that Mr.. Winter had made the attack
in his absence and had refused to state
whether or not he used the words published
in THE TINES. In closing his remarks Mr..
York denied that he used the words which
had been attributed to him in Mr.. Winters
speech, and said he did not recollect what he
did say.
When York ceased talking Mr.. Winter
arosa and called the attention Of the Senate
to the fac. that he was called on TO defend
himself without any preparation whatever.
In reply he reiterated everything that he said
on a former occasion, and, while speaking,
addressed hiinselfto the Montgomery county
Mr.. York arose once TO ask Mr.
Winter question, but Senator Moonlight |
asked the President not TO permit an inter-
wanted his colleague 10 have an
to 60 on with his speech. Mr.
Winter then went on to say that York |
had acted the part of the conspirator and be-
rayed his ieliow-man-hadc rawled in slime |
and 18th TO make the betrayal more COM
plete and crushing. IA to the foul and
'landerous charge that members had Pom
,roy's money in their pockets, he declared
hat York did utter the words in joint CON
,ention, and call upon heaven to witness
heir truth. Mr.. Winter submitted that If
FORK did not recollect what he did say, how
lid he recollect what he did not say. Mr.
Winter regretted the necessity for saying
'ody with Senator York, bu, his convictions
II that point were firm and hoaest.
Mr.. York arose again TO a question of
privilege, but Senator Price, anticipating
Gene that would seriously mar the pleasures
f the closing night, offered resolution de-
!aring 1t TO be the sense of the Senate that
Senator Winter and Senator York do not
gree On Pomeroy."
1t ia acknowledged tina, Col York received
lore than he contracted for. have an idea
hat few Senator'S had Yor, primed for the
uestion of privilege for the purpose of hav-
ng little fun over Mr.. Winters discom-
ture, but the old gentleman was not so
asily ''bluiied" as they anticipated. q
