Mr. Merten offered a resolutions:
Resolved, That "A vote of censure be
passed on Mr.. Clark, of Payne county, for
Insulting, profane and parliamentary
language used on the floor of this house,
xaile the same was in session, contrary to
bhe rules and the dignity Of the house"
Mr.. Merten-I think it has come to an
unfortunate pass, if the speaker cannot sit
in his chair and execute his duties, with
out being insulted. and when a member
cannot rise to his feet without being sub
jected to indecent and profane languarge
in the presence of ladies. When it comes
10 the point that indecency and profanity
reign supreme in the house, l wish to be
counted ont.

lenge any one to show anything but fair
dealings on my part. ] think il is nothing

Mr. Campbell would willingly with
draw the resolution If "A disposition were
shown to act differently. The question is.
Has the house been converted into bar
room of loafers? or do we retain the least
vestige Of parliamentary decency? Until
p proper spirit of redress is shown. l can
not consent to the withdrawal of this
motion.
Mr.. Clark begged pardon. and the

spectfully and respectfully, but as long as

Mr. Terrill-Intoxicant have been used
to unduly influence my colleague, the
Hon. MIR. Clark.
Mr.. Jones-Words fail to express my
feelings on this occasion. j repent that
anything has occurred to bring disgrace
upon this body. There have been a great
many things said about this assembly;
but, in my opinion this legislature com
pares favorably with other legislatures.
] appeal TO the better judgment Of the
members, and hope they will retract what
they may have done amiss: that this
house will not do anything hastily.
Mr.. Mathews am sorrow that this
has occurred. There is only one thing TO
DO; to do unto every member as we would
have him do unto u.s.
Mr.. Campbell-I have been consulted by
those whom / suppose TO be my friends,
Bnd, by their advice, ask the apology of
