moved that the doors be closed.
Mr. Edmunds REP. Vt seconded the mo-
ton and the Vice. President directed the gal
leries TO be- cleared and the doors to BIO closed.
Mr. Call being thus UNEXPECTEDLY cut OF in
his desire to mako o speech before the public,
said that he would withdraw the resolution.
but the order to close the doors was insisted
upon by Messrs. Sherman and Edmunds, and
was carried into execution.

Elections to inquire into the publication In the

such personal explanation be withheld from
the permanent edition OF the Record until
further order OF the Senate.
Mr.. Call said that ho did not think that the
resolution should be adopted. There was no
possible ground or reason for it. and no excuse
for it. He asked leave Of the Senate on juno 2

OF his career in the Senate in response to a
pamphlet attacking him. and that was all that
he had done to-day. The libel TO which he re-
piled contained q statement OF bills which he
had introduced in the Senate. and which had
not become law. At his leisure he had pre-
pared statement in his own vindlcaton and
submitted it to a member OF the Committee on
Printing ar. German. on whose judgment he
rolled, and who informed him that there was
no Improperly whatever in having 1t pub
