THE DEBATE-AN ASSAULT ON BUTLER.
The day Before the hill passed and while
it was being discussed there was a great
deal of excitement caused by. the speech Of
Mr.. John Young Brown of Kentucky, in
which he said
'.What should be said of the accusation
OF the souJiern people when it comes from
one who is out-lawed in his own home
FROM respectable society; whose name is
synonymous with talse.iood who is cham
pion, and has been on all occasions, OF
fraud: who is the apologist of thieves /;
who is such prodigy of vice and mean
ness that to describe him imagination
would sicken and invective would exhaust
ityalfp Tn Scotland fhnrp
man whose trade was murder, and he
earned his livelihood by selling the bodies
Of his victims for gold. He linked his
name to his crime, and to-day throughout
tile world it is known as Burking."
the Speaker: Does the Chair understand
the gentleman to be referring in this lan-
guage to member OF the House,?
Mr. Brown No, sir ] am describing
an individual who is i'll my minds eye.
The Speaker The Chair understood the
gentleman to be referring to a member of
the House.
Mr.. Brown No, sir Il call no names
This mans name was linked to his crime,
and to day throughout the world it is
known as Burking. If | desired to express
all that was pusilanimous in war ,inhuman
in peace, forbidden in morals, and infamous
in politics, should call il BMleTizing.
For this violation OF parliamentary Or
der resolutions of cenSure were passed
upon Mr.. Brown, after very exciting de
bate, and was administered by the Spea-
Ell.
THE REPLY OF BUTLER NEXT DAY.
The next day, after drawing a picture Of
the hanging Of John Brown in Virginia,
Butler added:
He inaugurated what the house is about
to finish to-day. He was a true man and
never told lie. and he spurned a bride even
of life that was offered him if he would
make false statement. When he died he
went to Heaven, and now looks down from
realm where no liar can ever go. His
name was Brown-John Brown the elder
not John Brown the younger.
After this old man WAS hanged an at
tempt was made to carry eleven states out
of the Union, and another John Brown
came TO the front-John Brown the young
en- He dared not trust himself to read
something about this Brown and he would
have the clerk read letter written by this
man Brown in 1861.
He then sent up to have read the letter
of the Hon. John Young Brown, of Ken
lucky, written ii. 1861, in which he said
among other things, that no Union man
should pass through Kentucky to Cypress
ahe South, and if any attempted it they
should be shot down in their tracks.
MI. lIs1e. Of New York, raised the point
of order that this WAS outside the privi-
leges of the House.
Mr.. Butler said he was only showing the
struggles that had led up to the necessity
of passing the civil rights bill.
The Speaker said it WAS difficult for the
Chair to decide exactly how far gentle
dol, tn Ia ,nf
pose the gentleman wo I'D Intentionally
transcend The limits.
Mr.. Butler said he proposed to have read
an extract from q report Of a commi Zee Of
elections of this House.
The clerk proceeded to read the extract,
when Mr.. Hale, OF New York, again OBJ
jected, and said member couldnot be ar
raigned in this way.
THE PASSAGE SPLITTING OFF THE WHITE
REPUBLICANS OF THE SOUTH.
The North Carolina House of Represent
atives was the scene of intense excitement
Monday morning, resulting from the re-
cantatiun of Two of the leading members Of
the republican party Oh the floor, i'll con-
sequence Of the passage Of the civil rights
bill by the national House of Represent
ativeS-Messrs. w. b. Glenn. of Yadkin,
brother-in-law Of Judge Thomas Settle, Of
the Supreme Court, and J III. Foote, d for
mer federal appointee, of Wilkes. MI.
Glenn offered the following resolution:
Whereas the republican party of the House
of Representatives of the United States,
disregarding the principles upon which our
liberties were achieved, and overriding the
social rights of the Anglo-SaXon race, has
enacted a lazy whereby the two races in
this country are compelled to. associate on
terms of perfect equality; and whereas we
believe that the result OF this legislation
will be to thoroughly and completely break
down and demoralize the manhood of n orth
Carolina: and whereas it is a duty
every man. irrespective of his color Oh con-
nection LII life, owes his country, his race,
and his family to condemn this reckless
effort of the republican party TO perpetuate
its power by the utter destruction OF the
whole of the South therefore.
Resolved, That we, the General Assembly
of North Carolina do appeal to every man
within the borders OF OGr State to protest
against this unj ust and ungenero4s treat
ment of our people, and especially do we
beseech our brothers of the white race who
have heretofore adhered to the republican
party to sever thelr connection With the
same, for the reason that In this hour OF
extreme peril to our manhood all mere
questions OF party pride OF passion shall be
forever sunk in the great issue for the pro-
lection of our morals, our social rights and
our race.
Messls. Glenn and Foote followed these
resolutions with speeches, when, on motion
of another republican member, the resolu-
tons were postponed until Friday. A
humber of other republican members have
declared their intention to indorse them,
and it is probable that but few white re-
publicans will be left in the House. In the
closing remarks of Mr.. Gleiin ne said: Il
declare that 1 hereby forever dissolve my
connection with the republican party and
ally myself with the great party that is now
building up the South and North for the
of constitutional government
and purity and salvation Of the Anglo
Saxon race OF our great land:7'
