Tho House 10 day consumed much OF its
time 10 listening to personal explanations. Sir.

that he had been cltc!ad by fraud aud iotimi
dalion. Mr.. Russell, rep, Il North Uar1iloa,
attempted to back ous from tho responsibility
fer oertBo charges he had made agairs: the
legality of the election of Messrs. Hull of Fl3Iids,
and Kitchen of North Carolina, but, tailag to
make satisfactory explanation, was asssiled Gy
Messrs. Kitchen end Davidson, The latter MIR.
Hul's colleagues. The latter proved that Mr..
Ru:sell's remarks were unsupported by facts.
but the latter ives 50 violent that he did more
harm than good, aud. though be told many
unpleasant truths about southern republicans
tho radical side Of tho House applaud5d his
speech, Wills those on his Own side condemned
it. Darlng tho course OF his remarks be said
there was not respectable membar Of tho re-
publican party 10 bis whole State. Now,
though the character Of representatives. OF that
party from North Carolina, 10 WASHINGTON
goes far to support Mr.. Kitchens assertion
the democratic policy is now to be ooncilistUry
and such strong expressions arc not approved

actions of the fraudulent President.
