!. men who were opposed to me, but don't
think we should pass any resolution upon this


was perfectly willing to withdraw his resolu
tons If Mr.. Kidd would withdraw his.
Mr. Blatfer said his name had been held NJ
to public scorn, and we must insist on tn
passage of this resolution of confidence.
MI. Hammond asked for the reading o
hldds resolution, and after its reading, sait
That his record was a sufficient answer to tn,
aspersions against him. He appealed to tn,
Nestor, Mr.. Booth, to sustain him. He sale
ne mad voted for the resolution only to pu
| the House back where it originally stood on
January 4th.
Mr.. Schwing, from Iberia.-As was one o.
those VINO voted on the resolution, and as
| there Is desire to pass q resolution relative
to this subject, offer substitute to the reso.
luton OF Capt Kidd.
| Kidd responded that the resolution affected
somewhat the people of New Orleans, and
that 1t did not cover the whole ground. He
said that member of the House had asked
for the members to come to his rescue, and
as he was hero of the 18th of September.
they should do it.
Mr.. Hall, of Orleans, said I am not here
to judge, but to be judged, and I would like
to recuse myself, yet we cannot hardly pass
IN Judgment on our case.
Mr.. Meredith, of Caldwell-We stand, Mr.
Speaker, as Representatives of the people Of
this State; we are not here to justify any Of
| our acts or to excuse ourselves for what may
be DONE
Mr. Hall arose to q question of privilege
and holding up copy Of the BULLETIN read
an article.
Now, Mr.. Speaker, l am somewhat aston
ished at this, as on Saturday evening I called
upon the editor of that paper and told him
| that desired nothing at such time to be
published, but have had a casual conversa-
ton in which stated large offers had been
made to me to 60 to the Kellogg House, not
money. The only conversation I had, was
that desired the Bulletin not to mistake the
facts, and to speaF with Mr.. Baker, that
had large offers, not of money, made to me
some days since.
l think this movement is created by poll
ticians, and 1 do think shall move an ad-
journment sine die.
Mr.. Meredith resumed: do not think we
should get excited because editors get so.
We should be cool, collected and calm. I
feel that there will be reaction take place
which will be stronger than the action of the
declaimers. 1, therefore, move to lay all the
motions on the table.
Mr.. Meredith afterwards withdrew his mo-
Gou.
Mr.. Booth then took the floor and said
that the members had had their say. the
newspapers theirs, snd as we, members of the
House, having been elevated, we are Justly
subjected to criticism by the people.
These men who shouted on Saturday night
were with US on the 14th September.
This is only lovers quarrel and the verbiage
of the resolution of Capt. Kidd was rather
too strong.
Ee would, therefore, urge that some change
be made. l hope that some gentleman will
find way out of this matter, and that we may
60 into the affairs of Louisiana.
Mr. Land, of Caddo, said he did not think
they should 60 into the business of answering
or criticising the action of speakers or news
papers. Congress never cid it, and the House
should not.
Mr.. Kelly, ofWinn, said that constituencies
have the right to criticise the action of their
representatives, but those from one parish
have no right to criticise the action of men,
bers from another.
MIR. Gilmore said, II deprecate very much
The action of the meeting Saturday night. l |
do not think we should condescend to notice |
their action.
The yeas and nays were then called, and
several members explained their votes. Yeas, |

1t is said that the resolution as adopted
