WASHINGTON, d. c., July T.
Scenes of disorder and unparlia.
mentary conduct have been repeat
eddy witnessed in the House during
the present session of Congress. The
Speaker has, time and again, dem
onstrated his incapacity to qucll RI
otous proceedings until after Ian
guage unworthy of gentlemen, and
derogatory of the dignity and good
order of the House, had been used.
Members, in the heat of personal or
partisan discussion, have applied
the language of blackguards to each
other Only yesterday the words,
Liar" Thief" "Perjurer," were
applied by Whittson to Robson, and
no attempt to punish the offender
followed. Occasionally n pretense
of censuring members who use un
parliamentary language is made; but
as IN the recent controversy between
Whitaker and Kelly, of Pennsylva-
mia, the resolution of censurc is no
sooner rendered than withdrawn.
From the beginning of the session to
the present time no member of the
House has shown the nerve to de-
mand a reprimand of the offender
against decency and parliamentary
decorum, and it is doubtful whether
one member at any time insisted on
performing his duty. In this respect
the majority would have sustained
him. The record of Congressional
proceedings for the past seven months
more low and ruffianly ex
oresslons than the record of any sim
lar period for years past. While
such epithets as liar, thief, scoun.
irel, rogue, etc, are out of order,
is seldom that filthy and indecent
language offensive to the ears of gen
,lemen and insulting to ladies, is
altered in debate. To-day, how
,ver, Butterworth, Of the First Ohio
District, and Cox, of New York, en-
tagged in a dispute that resulted in
he use Of language of the most rep
ehenslble character. Cox gave
he proyocation by charging that
'utterworth had, with $3.50, induced
Democratic prostitute to assist
i'm in his election. Cox referred to
!. Holland, a notorious ballot box
tuffer and penitentiary bird in Gin
innati.
Butterworth, in reply, made re- ,
lark directed at Cox that DESTROYED
ompletely the effect Of the speech
e had previously made, and that
aused the ladies to leave the gallery.
nd in the opinion of Ohio Republi
ans may seriously affect his chances
