A Senate Sensation.
Mr.. Ingalls,, rising to a question OF per
sonal privilege, said the senior Senator
from Georgia (Mr. BROWN had referred TO
his making q characteristic speech on the
bill to refund certain moneys TO the State
of Georgia. That language escaped the
attention at the time, but. the employment
of the terms used were offensive. He asked
if the Senator intended his remarks as a
personal and effective criticism.
Most certainly not said Mr.. Brown.
THE relations between the Senator and my
self have always been pleasant:
That is sufficient" rejOined Mr.. ingalls,,
with lev distinctness, "on that point.
The Senator then objected TO another
statement in Mr.. Browns speech in which

point, but went all around it in regard to
the position of Georgia on this money ques'
ton
"Are you satisfied, asked Mr.. ingalls,,

THAT is nv distinct recollection an,
swered Mr.: Jrown, calmly.
Mr.. ingalls, continuing said that after the
report was sent to the public printer words
were deliberately interpolated into the re,
port Of the Senator's speech which talsIhed
the record and committed a forgery upon
the records of the Senate.
This assertion created quite sensation
in the Chamber. Vice President Edmunds

willing to submit TO the fortunes of debate,
whether of victory or defeat, but he was not
secure against the Parthian arrows that the

him. move that the language to which |
have referred be expungcd from the Record.
The excitement on the Democratic side
continued Several Senators clustered
around Mr. Brown and told him to keep
cool
Mr. German objected TO the present con-
