That was the difference between the gen
tleman's bill and his own. How coul
any man having his wits about him plea
then as a precedent for such frau
as in his opinion was involves
in the matter under consideration
Mr.. Townshend rose to interrupt
Mr.. Kelley-The gentleman declined Il
yield to me, decline to yield to him
"Whatis sauce for the goose Is sauce 10
the gander." Laughter. As he contin
ued, he referred to Townshend's remark
relative to the Committee on Ways ant
Means, and affirmed that no committed
was working more laboriously, more con
scientiously, or more for the benefit OF thu
county. The gentleman had spoken OF /
as graveyard and had asked himsel
what question he should consider in refer
ring his bill. He (Kelley) would tell the
gentlemen the question for him shoulC
have been, "What do the rules have
sworn to maintain require at my hands?'
The gentleman from Illinois had commit
ted what he Kelley trusted might be tht
greatest mistake OF his life.
Mr.. Mcmillan inquired Of the Chail
whether 1t was in order for the gentleman
from Pennsylvania (Kelley) under guist
OF personal explanation to castigate, ol
attempt TO castigate, the gentleman from
Illinois.
Mr.. Kelley-I have been castigated. Is
it manly TO castigate an old man like an
and not let him reply to the boy who

Mr.. McAIillan-Ifan old man complains
OF improper actions the best way to rene,
dy them Is to set good example.
Mr.. Kelley-ll mans motives are as.
sailed, as mine nave been II II is stated
that had been told that the bill did moi
touch pig iron would not have objected,
do you believe that that challenge ought
not to be responded to? Is that chivalry,
honor, manhood2
Mr.. MclIillan-Manhood on this floor is
the observance OF the rules.
Mr.. Kelley-Amen. Laughter and ap-
plause.l
Mr.. Conger-I object to more than one
gentleman attacking the gentleman from
Illinois.
Mr.. Young thought that the debate had
demonstrated one econclusion--the aptitude
OF the Committee on Rules TO construct
rules which nobody could understand.
The best thing that could be done in his
opinion was to recommit the whole thing,
revised rules, and all to the Committee on
kules and let it 90 back to Saratoga and
see If it could not straighten out this
tangled web, so it could come back next
winter, with rules by which q bill could
be referred to the Committee without three
days discussion. Laughter.
The question then recurred upon Mr..
F. Woods proposition.
Mr.. Conger objected to It, and discus
sion arose as to whether objection didn't
come too late.
The Speaker decided that though he
thought il objection came too late, as long
as Mr.. Conger asserted he had intended
objection he would recognize the objec-
ton.
The question then recurred upon de.
mand for the previous question upon Mr..
McLane's proposition, which as modified
is as follows:

and that said Committee be discharged
from its further consideration, and the
same be referred to the Committee on

and the main question ordered.
Mr.. Blackburn demanded q division oil
the proposition.
Mr.. Bland asked Mr.. McLaue to yield
to him to offer an amendment directing
the Committee on Ways and Means to
report back the bill within three, weeks.
Mr.. McLane declined to yield.
Mr.. McLane's proposition was then
agreed TO without division.
The journal OF Monday was then ap.
proved, and the journal Of Tuesday and
Wednesday read and approved.
The Speaker then announced that vote
would be taken on the portion OF the
proposition which discharged the Com
mittee on Revision OF Laws from fur
ther consideration.
Mr.. Conger rose to the point Of order
that Mr.. McLane's proposition had been
agreed to in toto; that the matter was not
now before the House.
The Speaker replied that 1t had been
agreed to as a manner OF procedure.
Mr.. White-By what right does the
chair say the resolution was passed as q
mode OF procedure.
The speaker-By right Of judgment ant
good sense.

ted for the proposition he voted for l
with the understanding that 1t settled the
whole matter.
