| Lowell rose to a question OF newspaper cor
rection. He had been very quiet during the
proceedings Friday, but the Picnyune had re-
| corded him as having made speech against
compromise. He had made no speech. The
Picdyune man somehow found it necessary to
put his Lowelfs) name in the paper every day,
and when he (the reporter) could not get it in
any other way, he wrote speeches for him
(LowelD. He was not opposed to compromise.
He liked the Picdy,t4e, because it was such
truthful paper. Again, it stated that he was not
attending to the workings of the committee to
examine the books Of the Auditor and Treasurer.
This was too good, as he had been devoting the
best portion of his time to it, He mentioned
these little matters for the purpose Of calling the
attention Of the other papers to the truthfulness
Of this paper, and he suggested that they take it
as guide.

the order OF the dav. debate Of an hour re-
suited from an appeal from the decision of the
Chair as to what, under the rules, was the spe.
