former Indignantly exclaimed, IaThen the
gentleman must not falsify facts.n
aAh," was Mr.. Bragg's re.ort g am glad
have driven that radical from under
Stanton's petticoats, so that he has come to
I the front" Mr.. Bragg, continuing, said:
would to God there was more freedom Of
conscience allowed in the republican
party! Then Porter would have vastly
more votes, but rs there is a presidential
candidate in training for the grand old
party who is to run on the Fitz John Por-
ter issue, it would not do for more republic
cans to come over, because the BLACK Eagle
Of the West (Mr. Logan) might not like
it." [Applause and laughter on the demo-
cratic side, and groans from the republican
side. He was glad, he said, to hear the
groans because it showed there was little
life left in the republicans. Groans did not
proceed from strong body, in a happy
and contented frame of mind, but from one
suffering from cramp in the bowels. He
demanded the previous question.
Mr.. Cutcheon arose to question of per-
sonal privilege. The gentleman from
Wisconsin had referred to the table printed
by him in the Record in regard to the
losses in the battle of Bull Run, and charged
him with purpose of misleading the
readers of his remarks into believing the
entire footing of the table was the losses on
the 10th of August.
The speaker decided that, inasmuch as
the gentleman from Wisconsin had in
timated that the gentleman from Michigan
had not been ingenious, Mr.. Cutcheon was
entitled to make q personal explanatio on. II.
Mr.. Bragg stated that the reporters notes
contained a partciple which he had not
used. [Cries Of order from the republican
side.] Is, as .5. Ss
Mr.. Bragg (defiantly)-I will give you
cause for a personal explanation, if you let
me speak. The gentleman stated that
Fitz John Porter was lying two and a half
4 miles from the head of his corps, but there
is no evidence Of that. II will give him
cause for 9 personal explanation il he
I wants it.
The speak he chair thinks that the
gentleman has right to make statement
as to what the table shows. The merits Of
the bill are not to be discussed # y @
MI. Cutcheon then stated that the table
was under the head of /" Return Of casual
ties in the Union forces, commanded BY
General Pope, from August 26th to Septem-
Der I'd, aggregating 14,462" He also quoted
from other portions Of his speech to show
that he had made no attempt to mislead the
house in this matter. ,s
"That is the printed speech it is not the
written speech" was Mr. Bragg's COM
i ment.
The bill was then passed yeas, III mays.
