educate people and children in WAYS ofcrime.
III any congressional committee ever ranked
any such as this he would take
away not only the ranking privilege from
that committee but he would take away the
committee itself. Members were to take off
their own privileges as public servants in
order that the mails might be loaded down
in that way. Think of il. said he. think of
it. Fathers, brothers, good citizens. think,
not how much people are educated, but how
they are educated by newspapers. They say
/ am en-
ENEMY OF NEWSPAPERS.
BY no means. lam only an enemy of their
abuses. / desire that the children of this
country shall not be taught where bad books
can be bought, where lewG instruments can
be procured, and how to use them. l pro-
pose that burglars shall not know the
experience of every other burglar.
/ do not desire hat o man who has got an
insane mind ready to commit murder shall
be taught exactly how it can be done and
done with safety, L do not desire that the
speech ola man on the gallOws, and where
in he claims that he is going from the gal
lows straight to heaven, shall be reported so
as TO induce every other murderer to pro-
pose to go to heaven by the same QUITE. 1
should a little rather not do that
at the expense of the government. If
you please = Qaughter) = and there
fore l have no desire to pass this bill. If a
SANDER is charge d upon one of us we cannot
reacn our constituents TO repel 1t while the
Islander may be spread broad cast free. If
you get up in congress TO repel an attack,
the newspapers that attacks Won will not
publish your statement. / can give YOU an
instance of it. L rose here the other day and
stated that / had never heard of q certain
bill introduced by Mr.. Morey of Louisiana,
affecting Judge Durell, and that the whole
thing was a falsebood. Mr.. Money got up
and said that the bill would not dis
turb Judge Durell, and how do you
supposed d newspaper to which L called the
attention of the house treated that eXplana-
ton. l saw in that newspaper the next day
these words: s"General Butler rose to a per-
sonal explanation and got into a Centrover-
sy on the question of v~eracity with Mr..
Morev, Of louisiana. Laughter. I" That is
the retraction there was; that is all the ex-
PLANTATION. and the only way L could send
my remarks to a person was to buy and send
copies OF the Congressional Record, while
forty-seven tons or these lies were going
through the mail at twenty-six cents q
year, and that some body says,
not paid. Ut the close of Gener-
eral Buffers remarks, Mr.. Packer. who
has charge OF the bill, demanded the previ-
Gus question, refusing to admit any amend
ments, except a substit tie offered by Mr..
Hale, of New York. TO repeal the law which
abolishes the ranking privilege. The pre-
vious question was second by I'D to 81. The
vote on ordering the main question was
taken by yeas and nays, and resulted in
yeas l26, nays III, democrats almost uni
formly voting in the negative. Further
action on the bill went over TIL Tomorrow,
and the house took a recess, the evening
session TO be for the consideration of the bill
to revise statutes.
