During the discussion Of the resolution Mr. TYLER
referred to Mr.. Bramhart as the gentleman from
Judea,' and the latter gentleman a-ked that the
language be taken down by the Clerk.
Mr.. TYLER-If | had come from that section of
country should fee proud OF it. If the gentleman
thinks this is any reflection upon him most humbly
beg his pardon. Lord Beaconsield once said that
when the ancestors Of his critics were clothed in
skins his ancestors were princes.
Mr.. MERRY-l move that the apology of the gen
teman be accepted.
Mr.. TYLER-l am willing to say that the gentle
man is not from that section of country.

farce and the gentlemen must coniiue themselves
to the question.

QUESTION OF PRIVILEGE.
Mr.. BRACNuARr rise to It question OF privilege
on the remarks of the gent
The CHAIE-This is not question Of privilege.
The gentleman may ask that the words be read, in
order to determine whether they are dlsorderiy or
Mr.. MAyRgLL-I will get at this move that the
gen leman from Alameda be brought before the bar
OF this House, and there publicly reprimaDded by
the Speaker for such language.
Mr.. BRAUSHAIr-I do not desire such motion.
The motion seconded.
The tlAIR-lt Is out q order. IL Is not IN order
to censurs any gentleman for lam uage used in de-
bate until the House mas first decided that such
language is disorderly
Mp. BRAuNHART-I simply desire leave of this
House to reply to the gentleman. leave grantcd.l
MIR. Speaker, am pleased that the House is salts
fed with the apology, for the explanation is not
satisfactory to me. For the information of the
House | will state that | was not born in
Judea. The language OF Judea is not
my mother tongue. / American
citizens, born American soil, elected here by the
suffrages Of the American citizens Of the Eleventh
District, whom represent Oh this f5or. | under
stand, and the people of that much despised and
persccuted understand, what is meant by the
msoleTt taUuts. He refers TO the remarks OF Lord
Beaconsteld, and presume he intended To be witty.
Where ignorance is wit It's folly to be wise. If he is
TO be Judged on the Of ignorance he is indeed
entitled to be called witty. The gentleman has
ferred to the wild beasts spoken OF by Lord Bea-
consield. l do not desire to be unparliamentsry,
hut have in my mind a gentleman who is like the
donkey spoken Of by .Esop, who put ON the skin OF
the lion for tie purpose OF preyins upon the beasts
Of the field, but was recognized by his bray. do
not desire that the gentleman shall be called before
the bar OF this house, do desire him censured.
Nor do l lie ire to hold him accountable for
like the Irishman who kicked by a
mule, consider the source. ] believe | am an
American in the broadest sense Of the word. j am
American in all my thoughts, American in all my
aspirations. | suppose so long as ignorance and
superstition prevail, the prosecuted will have
10 endure SCOTS and jeers Of folly and ignorance.
That is all the explanation desire to make. If any
other explanation is desired outside Of the chamber,
it can be granted at any time.
