A STORM RAISED.
Mr.. Thurman said that he was compelled
TO ask that the officer, referred to in the

view OF the protest recently signed by a
minority Of the Democratic members Of this

stultify themselves. He had hoped ana
expressed his wish 10 friends on the other
side that such a resolution would not be
presented.
MR.. RIDDIEBERGER.
/ Nlr. Atkinson in the chlir.)
| Mr.. Riddebcrgcr said that he did not
consider that the gentlemen on the other
side would be stultifying themselves by
voting for this resolution. A. for that,
they had badly stultifed themselves in the
matter Of protests; they had two upon The
table and had not dared 10 take them up.
He then referred 10 the circumstance at-
tending the resignation OF Mr.. Elliott, and
the strange asseyeraiions OF the Democrats
that they meant no disrcspcct In their posi-
ton towards him.
As Mr.. Riddlebergcr understood. the
Democratic protest was against the rulings
Of the President pro tenn. rs To his con-
struction OF the rules; not as to the integ
rity OF his purposes.
