/ The4debste upon the-civil rights bill in the
/ House of Representatives continued Thurs
day, aad was of q very interesting character.
1t was marked by general good feeling and
eourtesF until john Young Brown, of Ken
lucky, rose to his feet and that gentle
man made the occasion memorable by de-
llivering the most crushing piece of inveotive
lever spoken-with the exception perhaps of
ono of Henry Grattan's terrible dsnuncia-
lions. Abiding to the oppression of the
South he said:
| Onward and onward you go,tn defiance OF the
ithnnf iust.ce. remorseiessiy determined. It
I seems, 10 drive the Southern people to destruc-
1 flesh 10 the eaeies A federal general steps ON
/ the scene and sends dispatch to the world that
the people OF that state are bsnditi. We
| have heard IL echoed elsewhere that they were
| thieves, aud murderers, and night riders.
The clergy Of that state. Jew and Gen,
Northern residents have denied 1t. commit
tee OF your own House, a majority being repub-
G CONTRADICTION, and nailed the SANDER TO the
c ounter. Now what should be said IL that ac-
CT ,sstlon should come from one, speak not OF
M en- but of language, within the rules
OF this House. II that accusation against
ths V people should come from one who is
out lawed In his own home from respectable So
ciet v. whose name is Synonymous with false
hoo 4, who is a champion and has been such on
all o. eossions of fraud, who is an apologist OF
thieN 'ss, who issuch prodigy OF vice and mean
ness that to describe him Imagination would
sickle D and invectiye exhaust Ttself9 In Scot
Iand, years ago, there was a man whose trade
was N rgder, and he earned his livelihood by
linked his name to his crime, and to-day |
througl,ontthe world 1t Is known as "Burking."
If was 10 desire to express all that was pusil-
lanlmous in war, inhuman in peace, f0rbidding |
in morals. and infamous In politics, should |
call Ii Blu aeEizing.
The exsitement consequent upon this pas |
sicnate outburst was intense and motion |
was made and carried ordering that Mr.. |
Brown be brought to the bar of the House
and censuyed, Mr.. Dawes in the mean
while disgrsciRg himself by advocating the
expulsion of tAe member from Kentucky.
During the turmoil which resulted in
Browns censure. Butler sat speechless, APP
parently stunned by the blow which he had
received, and he only recovered sufficiently
20 make, after the fight was oyer, a sort of
whining personal explanation, devoid of
VERY tings OF his usual natclsless impu-
lence For eight years he has
played the bully ia tbs House and I
made himself infamous before the s
ountry, and yet by his address and bold +
ess he has so held his own that no oppo- q

scaped unscatbed. 1t can not be said that, |
! the encounters without number WHICH he {
az sustained, he ever lost his saddle until 9
