In course of some further remarks Mr.. Gar
field, speaking in reference to the army and navy
officers who bad gone into the rebellion, said
that they had added TO their other crimes that
of perjury in the eye of the law
The word was caught at and resen ted by Mr.
Tucker OF va, who said it reflected on some OF
the noblest meD, men with whom the gentle
man from Ohio might be proud 10 be clsssed as
peer.
Mr. Garfield explained that he had merely
said that these men were 10 the eye of the law
guilty of perjury. He himself had not made
the law or the dictionary.
He concluded his speech with peroration in
which he thanked God for peace and for the
fact that in the awful flames of war slavery had
been burned to death.
Mr. Seelye of Mass, then followed in a few
remarks adverse to that part of Blaine's
amendment which excluded Jefferson Davis
from amnesty, but favoring that part of it
which requires amuestied persons to take the
oath of allegiance
Mr. Randall explained that that was unnec-
essary inasmuch as the bill only removed such
political disabilities as prevented the holdiDg of
office, and every person entering in an office
was obliged to take the oath
A long discussion ensued on the technical
point in parliamentary law. whether Blaine,
being the introducer of the matter before the
House, had the right of reply.
The Speaker ruled that he had rot, and Mr..
Banks OF Massachusetts, endorsed the ruling
and declared that no sounder decisi on had ever
been given in the House.
The Speaker acknowledged the compliment
and added that he was endorsed in all points
by the venerablerable general clerk, Mr.. Bar
