throat would have put in the appropria-
ton for Sacramento river. The words
were taken down. McLane offered q
resolution of expulsion which was favored
by many others who desired to give Van
Voorhees, o chance to apologize. Van
VOORHEES, said he was strongly opposed to
the bill, was not an orator and
might sometimes express himself unbe-
comingly in his remarks. He merely
intended to characterize the measure
under consideration and had no inten-
ton Of being personal, had no ill.feeling
against Page and desired TO withdraw
the expression and to make full apology
to the House and TO Page. McLane
withdrew his motion of expulsion. Her.

censure; lost by SO to IS. Members
commented severely on Van Voorhees,
course.
