NEW uLM REVIEW, wEDnEsDAY, Jt,nE. !, 1884

debate the House refused to unseat
the sitting Member but an early adj
journment was effected to DELAY The.
action, and to give the contestant
time to use his fathers influence.
Ofcourse the matter IS Of little i'm:
portance to the public at large, but
it. is another CHASTITY item the Dem.
ocracy has added to its record with
which to go before the country this
year. The House adopted resolu-.
ton directing committee Of seven
Members to investigate the elder
English in regard to violating his
privileges as an ex- Member of Con.
gress but that will not amount to
anything. The Democratic maiori-
ty would vote that If father English
wanted to log. roll for his sou, he
had right to do so. They would
not hesitate to defend his action on
the ground Of extreme paternal soli-
citude.
The House passed forty-six pen
sion bills, among them one granting
$50 per month to the widow Of Gen.
Ord. 1t talked about Bankrupte
cy law; declined to reduce existing
duties on works Of art, and grew
lively, sharp, even rampant oyer
the question Of a medal. A bill was
called granting an officer Of the Ma
w permission to accept the decora-
ton of the Imperial order of Fran.
els Joseph from the Government of
Austria. This was opposed by
Representative Robinson of New
[ York, who asserted that its inten-
ton was to PROSTATE the American
people in dirt and degradation. It
was the beginning Of a series Of
nobility. There were now twenty
such applications before Congress
made by the dudes of the Navy,
who wanted to receive decorations.
He had not time to pour out the
adherence he felt towards his
monarchial and aristocratlc idea.
Mr.. Cox denied that the medal was
anything more than present Civ
en- for gallant services. The young
officer, whom the gentleman from
New York called a dude, was now
on his way to the Arctic regions for
purposes Of humanity. He had
saved eleven lives at the peril of his
own, and for this had been insulted
here by his colleague.
The next war was between Mr..
Cop, and Mr.. Bruins of Pennsylva.
MIA. The latter also objected to
Mr.. Cox, when the bill was up
once before. Mr.. Cox has said ali
objections had been withdrawn,
knowing Mr.. Bruins had not, and
thus he had been misrepresented on
this floor by the gentleman from N.
7. Mr.. Cox, detained all know
ledge of the matter, and said Mes.
sers. Bruins and Robinson were
contending which should be the
worst man. Mr.. Bruins said that
was another Misrepresentation,
where upon Mr.. Cox retorted that
he had never taken that much from
anybody and never would, he gave
it back to the gentleman from
Pennsylvania. The war next passed
to Mr.. Kasson and Robinson, the
former saying that the latter was
dishonoring his own countrymen
by denying them the praise that
was accorded them. Here Mr..
Robinson got on a rampage. 81
want the words taken down that I
ana dishonorable. The man who
violates the Constitution . contin.
ued he, "dishonors himself. Let him
withdraw the word Mr.. Kasson
said he would withdraw nothing
and repe ated amid applause, that
the man who stigmatized with
the word @sdude'' gallant naval
officer dishonored thesNavy and its
officer. Mr.. Cox paid further at.
tentions to Messers. Bruins and
Robinson, and after the ocean had
been thoroughly, FLASHED into fury in
order 10 watt this feather the bill
passed.
4Pr esident Arthur went yesterday
to Annapolis. He will spend
Decoration day in New York, but
will return here previous to the
Chicago convention. Nothwith.
standing his keen interest in its re.
suit, his mind seems placid.
