"a Breeze'' In the .soGse.

WAsEIyGToS, April IS.-fn the
Houae, On motion of Mcmillan, Of Teu.
nessee, the bill limiting 10 two years the
time within which prosecutions may
be Instituted against persons charged
with violating internal revenue laws was
taken up for consideration.
White, of Kentucky, took advantage
Of the brief debate on the bill to crit.
else the action Of the Springer Committee
in stopping the investigation Of the char
ges against Governor Murray, of Utah.
The man under investigation had said ho
was not guilty and called upon Justice
Harland and Speaker Carlisle to testify
to his good character. Thereupon the
investigation had ceased; and not only
that, but the committee had proposed TO
investigate his tWhite's) character He
reiterated his charges against Murray
the man whom Mrs. Hayes had appoint
ed az Governor Of Utah.
Miller, Of Pennsylvania, called ,he
gentleman; 10 order Tor not aauTessins
himself to the bill under consideration,
but the House decided that White might
be permitted to proceed in order. But
White continued TO talk in the same
strain, when Miller again called him to
order.
The Speaker thought that the remarks
Of the gentleman were not relevant 10
the bill.
White said that the difference between
the Speaker and himself was that while
he had been eadeavoring to defend the
rights of the poorest people in his State
the Speaker had been endeavoring to get
bills through Congress for the biggest
whisky monopolies iE the State of Ken
tucky.
Miller demanded that these gords be
taken down rs unpariiamentary.
The Speaker-"The chair desires that
the words should not be taken down, and
that no notice should be taken of them"
[Applause on both sides Of the cham.

Miller therenpon withdrew his demand,
but insisted that the gentleman should
proceed in order or not at all.
The Speaker-"The Chair will endeav-
or to enforce the rules Of the House."
Caunnn, OF Illinois, suggested that
grea. latitude had been always permitted
to members in speaking, and that their
remarks were not confined to the provis
iona Of the special bill under cousidera.
tion.
The Speaker replied that, while of his
own opinion, he would not interfere with
the course of q gentleman's remarks, but
when the point was raised by another
member he was bound TO decide the
question in accordance with the rules.
Miller said that he did not raise tho
point out of any i!..feeliDg toward tho
gentleman from Kentucky, but be did
object to the time of the House being
taken up 10 the settlement Of differences
which one member of Congress might
have with some other one. A member
had the utmost liberty in debate, and
could not be called to account FOR his
utterances, and that liberty ought not 10
beabused. Tho House ought not 70 permit

There Is just as much danger Of federal

with It. Such interference Is imaginary
in both cases. The present bill only
gives the money out OF the federal treas.
ury to our State common schools. There
is no federal officer TO disburse it. Un.

schools-the selection of teachers and
everything pertaining to it's administra.
