points replied to them one by one, ant

til the Speaker prevented it. he was re.
J pcatedly applallde both on the floor and
in the gale: les. He was followed by
Prof Scelyc. who. in Il clear and logical
. speech of only a few moments in length,
showed why. in his opinion, the clause
excmpting jefferson Davis ought not to be

House. The Amnesty debate continued,
Mr. Blaine having the floor. lie made a
brilliant speech and proved more than a
match for the many opponents who a>>ail-
ell him.
The worst used victim was Hill of
Georgia. though the cX-Spcakcr more than
once pricked MIR. Cox to the quick. accusing
him Of making one speech in the House and
printing another i'll the Hccord. and quot
ing Mr.. Cox Is 4 war democrat during the
great struggle, to confound Mr.. Cox in his
late speech on amnesty. At times he had
the entire delegation from the South so
excited that they were ready to rise en-
massc to reply to him, or hurl back his
a@grcvatng imputation> upon them. Mr..
! Hill has been unfortunate, not only in his
speech Tuesday, but in many other
speeches which he has made in his own
State and elsewhere since the war, and
Mr.. Blaine. with wonderful research. had
made large collection of these, rs they
have been printed in the newspapers and
pamphlets. and brought them in to Illus
tratc the speech to which he WAS replying.
He said that the gentleman from Georgia

tracts from his public uttcrancc>. which
conveyed very damaging impressions en-
pba>i1cl and increased by tue manner III
