WASHINGTON, June l7.-Mr. ingalls, va
early in thesenste this morning. Ho wa
chafed good humoredly by his colleague
on tho episode Of yesterday. He eeeme'
to be in good trim for another bout. Nj
Brown was also in his seat. He had will
him roll Of manuscript, which It wa
suspected bore his promised reply to tn
Kansas Senator. He was cool and collect
cd, and seemed TO derive come satisfaction
from close perusal Of tho Congressional
Record, containing full report Of yes!er
days tilt. t
Mr.. Brown rose to question Of privilege
as soon as the journal was read. he aenI
the Record 10 the Clerks desk and had
certain marked passages read. Senators
on both sides were eagerly attentive. The
galleries we're full, and a number Of Repre-
sentatives were on the floor. The Recud
having been read, Mr.. Brown unrolled bis
manuscript and read his reply. He said
he did not answer yesterday because he did
not wish to speak to the imputatlou, which
Mr.. Ingalls, remarks were calculated and
intended to provoke. In what he had now
to Say, he would keep within the rules Of
decorum. ~
II call the attention Of the the Sens.e,"
aaid he, ITO the insulting and approbrious
language used towards u member Of this
body. ! could not repel such insults with,
out violating the rules Of the Senate which
We are all in honor bound to obey. do
not wish to glaze over this matter. The
charge OF the Senator OF ialsiiyipg the
record, and committing d forgery on the
records OF the Senate, was q deliberately
planned insult, and uttered not only in
the violation OF the rules Of the Senate,
but in defiance Of the authority OF the pre-:
siding officer" ll 1-'-f.l
Mr.. Eimunds interrupted and said
THE Chair thinks the language the
Senator is now using is equally breach O!
order as that committed by the Senator
from Kansas yesterday"
99Hl5g Mr.. BROWN RECEDEs.
Mr. Brown promptly withdrew that por-
ton OF his remarks. He said, however,
that the insult was not given in the heat oi
debate; it was premeditatsd and studied.
The remarks said to have been interpolated
in the report were substantially used by
him in the debate. This could be testified
to by the Senators who heard him utter
them. The Senator from Kansas had
deliberately insulted d Senator on this
floor. f'a
"The chair thinks that out of order,
said Mr.. Edn,unda.
II withdraw the observation then," said
Mr. Brown, "and beg pardon Of tha chair"
"rhs Senate" be continued, "ahould not
permit such an outrageous and inexcusable

l shall not make this chamber the scene
of coarse personal quarrel. It is not my
method, nor is this the place which I
would eelsct for such n purpose. The Sen.

venture to say there is nothing in the Char.

any Of the antecedenis Of his history, mol

here. There ia no other Senator on thi;
flor in like circumstances who would have
used such language as the Senator from
kanRas employed under the protection O
the Senate, and he would not have uset
that language, and will not use it, except
under the protection Of the Senate"
ISaALLs' REPLY. r.
There was great excitement when Mr.
Ingalls, rose to reply. He begun deliber
atsly and spoke with ringing voics. "Ii
the Senator from Georgia." he said, "will
