II respectfully inquire" began Moore,
whether the minority of this house, most
Of whom were lately in rebellion against
the government here?"-
He was interrupted with shouts of order
from the democratic side, and the remain
der of his inquiry was drowned in uproar.
1t was however, TO the effect whether such
Il minority to which the unexampled gen
crosby of COVE 'nment had accorded every
privilege of citizenship had right to block
the wheels of lie yislation because men of the
dem ocratic pa ~ were occupying seats by
methods which the majority decided to i'll

Randall 10 Moore)-"'The gentleman had
better look at home before he throws stones
elsewhere"
Marsh-"What right has the gentleman
to assume to answer a parliamentary
question which was addressed to the chair"
Randall-"I have every right that be-

YOU have exceeded when you undertake TO
assert the functions of the speaker"
Randall-'I have asserted nothing except
he functions of a man and that will do in

Throughout this cologuy the house was
in IA state of confusion, aud it was some time
before the repeated rappng of the speakers
gayel had the effect OF restoring any degree
Of order; when, quiet being obtained, the
speaker stated that neither the gentleman
from Illinois nor the gentleman from Penn
syvanit were in order.
Randall (resuming his seat)-"I am quite
aware of that"
