the bar of the House in custodya Of the

PROPOSED EXPULSION.
Mr.. Dawes offered the following as q
substitute for Mr.. Hale's resolution
Resolred, That John Young Brown,
member of the House from the State OF
| Kentucky, be expelled from the House
for gross violation Of the rules and privi-
leees Of the House, in the language just
read by the clerk, and for falsely stating
to the Speaker Of the House that he did
not refer tie any member Of the House.
Hr. Hale declined to yield for Mr..
Dawes substitute, and moved the prevl-
Gus question.
Mr.. Cox to Mr.. Hale. You cannot force
this thing in the House. There has been
proyocation for what the gentleman from
Kentucky said.
1 The House refused to second the previ-
Gus question.
MI. Dawes said he regretted the neces-
sity Of the resolution, as his connections
with the gentleman from Kentucky had
always been kind, and he had been
shocked and panied by what had oc-
Cured to-day, and nothing but the be-.
: lief that it was imperatively necessary
that the House should vindicate itself
and the rules would induce him to offer
the resolution.
BROWN STICKS
After an exciting debate, Mr.. Dawes
asked the gentleman from Kentucky II
he desired to speak now.
Mr.. Brown, rising and speaking with
great deliberation, said this was the first
time an evasion or prevarication was
ever attributed to him. He always spoke
in plain terms, susceptible of no mistak-
ing. and he as willing to stand by the
result.
Mr.. Dawes. l would inquire Of the gen.
tlcman from Kentucky whether he has

HOAR TO THE FRONT.
Mr.. Err. Hoar inquired whether the
: commonwealth Of Kentucky would feel
, indignant at vote Of censure upon one
Of her representatives! He did not feel
s. certain. but he knew it's character for
man-lovers and for truthfulness to be
such that the commonwealth would spurn

sake of getting successfully through q
