bodies and souls, If thereby they could keep
themselves in power and place
Brown OF Kentucky, opposed the bill, de
claring its success had been in measure &C.
complished by daring and revolutionary in
vasi0rs or the time-honOred rules OF the
House. It has been born in malignity, would
be passed in defiance and violation of the
Constitution and executed, he feared In vic.
lence and bloodshed.
Hale, of New York, objected to the last
| sentence, bnt the speaker ruled it within the
limits of parliamentary debate.
Proceeding with his speech, he referred to
the Louisiana troubles, brought about by con-
spiracy between the attorney general and
Kellogg and q corrupt federal Judge, and
spoke Of Sheridan's bsnditti dispatch, adding,
eve have heard it echoed elsewhere that they
| were thieves and murderers and night
riders. Now what should be said II that &C.
cusation should come from one-I speak not
Of anyone, but in language within the rules OF
! thisHouse-ifthat accusation against that peo-
| pie come from one who Is outlawed in his own
home from respectable society, whose name
Is synonymous with falsehood. who is cham
| pion, and has been such on all occasions of
fraud, who is the apologist of thieves, who
| is such q prodigy Of vice and meanness that
| to describe him Imagination would sicken
and invective would exhaust itself? In Scot
| land, once there was maa whose trade was
to murder, and he earned his livelihood by
selling the bodies of his victims for gold. He
linked his name to his crime, and today,
throughout the world 1t Is known as Burk-
Ing; ...,, n... ,,. chair understand the
gentleman to be referring In this language to
a member of the House?
Mr.. Brown-No sir; am describing a
character who Is in my minds eye.
I,at
gentleman to refer to a member of this
House.
Mr.. Brown-No sir; call no names. This
mans name was linked to his crime, and to-
day throughout the world It's known as Burk-
ing II I was DESTROYS Of expressing all that
was pusillanimous Ia war; inhuman in peace,
| forbidden in morals and infamous 10 politics,
should call 1t Butlerism. [Sensation.
Mr.. -(lnterrupting)-The gentle
man did not deal in good faith with the chair.
Mr.. Hale-(N. w. demanded that Browns
language be reduced to writing and read from
the clerks desk, and while the reporter was
transcribing it the excitement was at red
heat
The speaker remarked further that he was
not paying close attention to the gentleman's
language, and had addressed him an inquiry,
| which had been answered either denyingly
or evasively, the chair couldn't tell which.
1t would be inexcusable in the chair to have
permitted such language, and his exculpation
rested on the evsaion OF the gentleman from
Kentucky.
The report Of Mr.. Browns objrctonal Ian
guage being read Mr.. Hale, of New York Of
fered resolution declaring that by the use
of language, as well rs by the prevarication
by which he was enabled to continue its utter
ance, Mr.. Brown has been guilty of a viola
ton of the privileges of the House, and mer-
tied the severe censure Of the House, and
that he be brought before the bar, in custody,
by the sergeant alarms, and publicly cen
surcd by the speaker.
Dawes offered asubstitute providing for
Browns expulsion, but Hale declined to yield,
and moved the previous question.
Cox to Hale-You cannot force this thing
in the House. There has been provocation
for what the gentleman from Kentucky said.
The House refused to second the previous
question and Dawes then expressed regret at
what he deemed the necessity of offering the
resolution, and asked whether Brown desired
to speak now.
Brown rising aid speaking with great dc.
liberation, said this was the first time that
evasion or prevarication was ever attributed
to him. He had always spoken in plain terms,
susceptible of no misunderstanding, and he
was willing to stand by che record.
Dawes asked him il he desired to say any
thing In regard to the character of the Ian
guage he used.
Brown-I stand by the record. (Sensation)
Here somewhat exciting episode occur
red between Hoar and Lamar, arising from q
former by the latter and ending in an ex.
PLANTATION and apology by Lamar.
Dawes said as 10 was evident the Democrats
would not vote forth resolution, he would
| withdraw &C.
Cox moved to table Hale's resolution. Re-
jected. Yeas SO, nays i677. The resolution
was then adopted by vote of 161 to 10.
Butler, who had sat quietly through all,
| then asked leave to make personal expla-
| In the House. he said that in all that time no
one could accuse him Of ever beginning per-
sOnal attack on any man, or of having gone
out of his way to say an unkind word of any
man, unless first attacked, and lie also en-.
| deavored, when attacked, never to leave G
man until he was sorry he did it.
The sergeantat arms then escorted Brown
| to the bar of the House and the speaker adj
ministered dignified but severe censure.
Brown then said he intended no prevarica
ton or evasion in reply to the speaker, and
| no disrespect to the House.
House then took o recess till 10 A. M. to-
| morrow.
