to-day Mr.. Hoar called up the resolution
reported by him Yesterday for the exclusion
from the record of the sentences interpolated
BY MIR, Call in the report of his remarks In
the discussion. with Mr.. Chandler some
weeks ago. Mr.. George opposed the resolu-
tion as being $50 far as his experience In the
Senate wenD without a precedent. While
it did not expressly contain censure, it was
certainly capable of that Interpretation.
In the course of his remarks upon the
Chandler-Call controversy, Senator Ed
munds used an expression which Senator
Daniel, OF Virginia, construed TO impute
the crime of murder TO Senator EuStls, of
Louisiana. Senator Daniel demanded that
the words of the Senator from Mr.. Edmunds
be taken down. Mr.. George went on to
speak of the time when personalities in the
Senate led to personal conflicts, but said
that now there was no safer
place IN all Gods creation for
a man who desired to insult another with
jmpunity than the American Senate. Every
body knew that And it was no evidence
OF spirit, no evidence of courage, for a Sena-
tor to get up and use insulting
and abusive language to another
Senator. Nor was it an evidence of
4 want of spirit or of want OF courage that
the Senator about whom such insulting per-
sonal language was used did not call the
other Senator to personal account. The
duello was clearly out of the question now.
Personal conflict on the street was equally
out of the question.
After further debate Mr.. Call submitted
some remarks in his own vindIcation, and
quoted some of Mr.. Chandler's expressions
in the same debate, imputing to him the
OF provoking homicide and of
adding to ''the silent voters Of Florida

account of a scandalous occurrence in the
Patent Office. Taulbee claimed that this
publication resulted in the separation of his
