MIR. HUNTON,s REPLY.


MI Hunten of Virginia, chairman of the
committee stated that he would make short
statement OF the matter to which the gentle.
man (Blaine) had alluded, and he trusted that
he would do it calmly. dispassionately and fair.
ly. The Honse had witnessed this morning a
remarkable, not to say an unexampled scene.
During this session two resolutions that had
been adopted by the House, each of which or
dered an Investigation, each of which had been
referred to the Judiciary committee by the
House, and each of which had been by that
committee referred to a subcommittee, con-
sisting of Mr.. Ashe of North Carolina, Law
renee of Ohio, and he himself. Before that
committee had reached any conclusion or had
finished taking testimony, an effort was made
by the gentleman who was supposed to be most
deeply concerned in these Investigations to take
the consideration IF those questions from the
organ of the House and to report upon them in
person. He need not remind the House what
sort of report would come from that commit
tee if the gentleman from Maine were allowed
to make it After the House had ordered an
investigation it was not only unexampled but
entirely against legislative practice for GEN
tleman to rise and undertake to anticipate the
conclusions of the committee or to state what
the action OF the committee had been.
When the subcommittee was organized the
gentleman from Maine had expressed himself
not only satisfied | ut pleased with its person
mel, and now that gentleman complained that
two members of the subcommittee were ex-
copfederates At the instance of the gentle
man from Maine, day had been appointed on
which the subcommittee was to enter upon its
duties, and now the gentleman told the House
that he had learned first from the sub-commit-
tee that he was the party to be investigated and
not the Union Pacific Railroad Company. So
far from that being so, the first that he (Hun-
tom had heard from any member of the House
or committee on the subject was from Blaine
himself to the effect that the resolution offered
by Tarbox attached to him, and that he wanted
the investigation commenced on given dav
and proceeded with with as much dispatch as
possible. On the very day fixed the investiga-
ton had begun, and from that day to this every
hour that the committee could devote to it
had been devoted to it except when the gentle
man himself had prevented it. More than two
weeks had been lost to the committee because
of the conduct of the gentleman from Maine.
and now that gentleman tried to make the i'm
preston that it was the purpose of the COM
mittee to prolong the investigation for some
