Debate on the Proposed Expulsion of
Brooks and Ames.
There was great excitement in Wash
ington yesterday, and the House was
most densely crowded to hear the debate
on the Poland resolution to expel Ames
and Brooks. Butler offered resolution
in substance that the attorney of the Dis
trict of Columbia be instructed to procure
the indictment of implicated Congressman
in the District Court. Butler will speak
on his resolution this afternoon Poland
opened the debate yesterday, and argued
strongly in favor OF expulsion. Ames had
a speech read in his own defence. Dur
the peroration, tears poured down his
cheeks like rain. The debate was con
tlnued through last evening, and was re-
newed again this "wednesday morning.
Poland has made motion to close the
debate at / o'clock, when the vote on ex-
pulsion will be taken.
Mr.. Mcpherson, clerk of the House,
read the argument prepared by Orr for
Ames, who occupied one of the front
seats and with his head resting on his
hand, watched attentvely. The effect on
the audience of some of the keen hits in
the argument elected whispered com
ments OF approval, and occasioned laugh
ter. 1t was listened to throughout with
the greatest attention. Mr. Ames remarks
concluded as follows
These then are my ohtnces-that have risk
ed reputation, fortune, everything in an enter
prise of incacuable benefit to the Government
from which the capital Of the world shrank that
| have sought TO strengthen the work thus
rashly undertaken by involving the charitable
Judgment of the people upon its obstacles and
EMBELLISHMENTS that have had friends, some
of them in official life, with whom have been
willing to share advantageou, opportunities
of investment; that | have kept to the truth
through good and evil report, denying nothing,
concea!ing nothing, receiving nothing.
Who will say that alone an to be offered M
as a sacrifice to appeaSe rabhle clamor or ex-
plate the sins OF others: Not until such an
offering is made will l believe it possible. But
if this body shall so order it, that it can be
purified by the choice OF single victim,
shall arcert IFS mandate, appealing with untaI
tering confidence to the impartial verdict of
History for that vindraton which it is proposed
to deny me here.
The peroration was spendidly read, SO
that even the sensibllities of Mr. Ames
himself could not be restrained sufficient
ly to keep the tears from sutluslng his
eyes; and 1t was received with half sup
pressed murmurs Of appreciation over the
House.

THE Doc LAW.-Before the BULLETIN
again makes its appearance the Quarter
" Court of Hardsman viii have met and
discharged It's duties. Therefore, we
take this last occasion to call to their
minds the pressing importance Of enact-
ing such law as Will reduce the number
of useless dogs which feed and fatten on
the sheep and hogs of the county. If
persons will persistin keeping more than
one dog to the family, to the injury of
others, they should be- made to pay for it,
and the money thus secured can be added
to our commen school fund There is no
other way to reach a large proportion of
this people, and we cannot urge in terms
too strong the Importance of the dog law
Let us have it, gentlemen, and in less
than one year from this time you will all
be proud of your action. In other coun,
ties where the law has been put in force
it works we'll, and is source of consider
able common school money. You are at
liberty By legislative enactment to place
the tax at from SO cents to two dollars pei
dog, exempting enc to the head of each
family. Give US the law and the people
will sustain you.

That was gay party-one of which we
were whom that left Bolivar on the 10
o'clock freight train last Tuesday morn

each with a double barreled shot gun,
with the advantage Of four Well1trained
dogs, after six hours Of incsssant tramp
ing could only count twenty-One birdsl
o, lie ontl twas too bad. Aud then, just
think of it, when we all returned to Mid>
dleburg, cold and hungry, the fires were
all out, trains behind time, and the party
had to foot it home, a distance of six
miles Even this was not all the misfor-
tune ye local met with, for in his effort to
cross the first cattle guard ne missed his
footing, fell headlong into the water be
low and received the best cold water

walk six miles over cross-ties. No doubt
but that they are correct, but to know
how it is in all of its pristine purity and

on cold frosty night. We stood il

Horrible

A fearful and bloody deed IS that
which we are about to record, and pre-
face it With the remark that we sincerely
wish thatis was not for US to do, fer the
recital Of such horror IS sickening in
the extreme and lily. eomports with OUT
wishes or feelings
The facts in the case reach as from
gentlemen Of unquestioned veraoity, and
when ali cold, form one of the bloodiest
chapters 10 the bloody hook of crime.
On the farm of Mr.. Ed Mullins, near
the. Steam Mir Ferry, in the extreme
southwest corner of Madison county,
and not far from the Haywood and Har>
deman county lines, lives man named
Matt GlideweIl, his wife and children.
On last Friday, our informant states, this
man, while drunk, struck his wife ever
the head with his gun, producing serious
and. possibly, fatal wounds, cutting the
flesh in horrible manner, and causing
the blood to flow in torrents. This done,
he next struck one Of his own children,
girl some ten or twelve years of age.
with the same weapon, wounding her
severely. Then drawing his knife he
signifed, in the most nnhuman manner,
his intention to cut the throats of ALL
The wounded and bleeding girl fed from
the house, and, having seen the open
knife in her fathers hand the blood
streaming in torrents from her mothers
head, called to a gentleman named Glib
son, who happened to be passing by and
told him that her father had cut her
mothers throat and that he was killing
the other childreni Gibson having a gun
at che time, lost no time in going to the
rescue When GlideweH saw Gibson he
advanced upon him with bloody hands
and open knife and would act listen to
anything. Gibson fed from him for a
distance of fifty yards, but being holly
pressed, turned and shot MS pursuer, the
load taking effect in Glidewell's iess
breast and shoulder, which brought him
to the ground Dr. T. J. Robinson Was
called in, and attended the wounded per-
sons. It is his opinion that Mrs. Glide
well will die. The girl was NOT danger
ously wounded. Glidewell is badly hurt
Ate receiving the contents of Gibson's
gun he fell asleep, and when he woke
from his drunken slumber protested to
know nothing Of what had occurred.
All this from the effects of whiskey,
the deadly poison which men of intelli-
gence put into their mouths to steal away
their brains. The blo5d of this poor,
murdered woman and wounded girl is
not alone upon the hands of the drunken
father, and when tie day of Judgement
comes, as come it must, then the guilty
will be punished.
1t seems that Gibson, after shooting
Glidewen ia self-defense, did not have
the moral courage to stand his ground,
but fed. subsequently, however, he re>
turned, and Glidewell told him that he
did not blame him for only one thing,
and that was that he did rot kill him
dead on the spot
We have not heard of any arrest being
made, but presume that the Madison
county authorities will do their duty.
The opinion prevails that if Gibson had
not CHANGED to be passing at the time and
played the part in this bloody chapter
that he did that Glidewell would certain
ly have butohered his whole family.
