rctccnt, but which has caused u sensation

1ations of the North to tho South were to pass

Ing orders to the Chair.h

replied: "If the Senator from Georgia means
10 say that Issue orders to tho Cha!r, he says
what Is not true, and, lest the Senator should
not understand me, scpcat that II ha means
to ultimate that Issue orders to tho Chair, ho
says what IL nut true" Thls was spoken with
great emphasis By Conkling.

be settled outside of this Chalnber.a
Conkling replied, "fcs, or WI can acttlo it
now," md ho then nga!n repeated Ills first re-
mark to Gordon, aud the latter only said It was

lIng's exclamation, "No on with tho calondar,"
