Rumpus I'm the House.
WASHINGTON, April 1s.-White took adj
vantage Of the brief debate Of the bill to
c~riticise the action of the Springer Com
mittee in stopping the investigation OF the
charges against Gov. Murray. The man
| under investigation had said he was not
| guilty, and had called upon Justice Harlan
and Speaker Carlisle to testify to his good
| character. Thereupon the investigation
| ceased, and not only that, but the COM
mittee had proposed to investigate his
| (White's) character.
Miller of Pennsylvania called White to
| order for not addressing 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
| the remarks of the gentleman were not
| relevant to the bill. White said the differ
| ence between the Speaker and himself was,
| while he had been endeavoring to defend
| the rights of the poorest people in his
| State, the Speaker had been endeavorine
| to get bills through Congress for the
| biggest whisky monopolies in the State OF
Kentucky.
Miller demanded that these words be
| taken down as supplementary.
The Speaker-The Chair desires that the
| words should not be taken down, and that
no notice be taken of them. Applause on
| both sides of the chamber.
Miller thereupon withdrew his demand,
but insisted that the gentleman should
| proceed in order, or not at all.
The Speaker-The Chair will endeavoI
to enforce the rules of the House.
Cannon suggested that great latitude
had been always permitted members IL
speaking, and their remarks were moi
bill under consideration.
The Speaker replied that while OF hii
motion he would not interfere with tht
course of the gentleman's remarks, when 8
point was raised by another member ht
was bound to decide the question il
accordance with the rules.
Miller said he did not raise the
| point out of any illfeeling toward the
gentleman from Kentucky, but he die
object to the time of the House being
taken up In the settlement of a difference
which members of Congress might hav'
with some other person. A member hac
the utmost liberty in debate, and coul(
not be called to account for his utterances
and that liberty ought not be abused. TIL
House, however, ought not to permi
members to abuse this privilege.
White then proceeded in order, and q
the conclusion Of his speech the bill passed
