THE MATTER IN THE HOUSE.
(By the Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, Sept 16.-The House this
r,orninp proceeded to consideration Of Mr..
Toloa's resolution relative to Mr.. Kennedy's
sDaecb. The resolution is as follows:
Rssolrei, That the. clerk of the House, of
pam.rassntatiyes be and he is hereby directed to
oompmunicate to the Senate the fact that the
Io,se renrobates and condemns the unparlia'
Insntary language of Hon. Robert P. Kennedy,
ranresentatve from the state OF Ohio,
published in the CoT,gpeSS'o"or 1goe heSGra
tobe speech delivered ON the floor of the
Tonse Sept g. $780, in which revised and
amended speech he repeats his Impeachment
the Senate as BODY.
The pending question was on the point of
order against the resolution raised by MIR.
Grosyenor of Ohio.
REEDS DECISION.
The speaker, in rendering his decision,
said that there could be no doubt that the
legislative proceedings of the two co-ordi-
nate branches of the legislature would be
very much impeded if improper reflections
we're allowed by members of one body upon
members of the other. This was so plain,
so well established, that it
seemed unnecessary to say a word in
regard to it. It was founded on
that principle which caused members
of the House to speak of each
other by phase rather than by name.
1t was intended as far as pos
sble to keep personal feeling out of leg
isation; and the chair was very glad. not
only for the advantage of the relations be-
tween the House and Senate, but for the ad-
vantage of the relations among the members
of the House, that this question should be
passed upon in such a manner as would make
an impression upon all. The chair therefore
Overrule1 the point of order.
BAYNE MOVES A REFERENCE.
Mr.. Bayne of Pennsylvania offered
resolution referring Mr.. Enloe's resolution,
together with Mr. Kennedy's speech, to the
committee on judiciary, with Instructions
TO that committee to examine the speech
aud rules, and the practice regulating de-
bate, and report its findings to the House
within three days.
The debate on the subject lasted over
two hours and was participated in by
Messrs. Blount, Enloe, McMillln, Gambler
OF MassachuSettes, Dalzell, Bayne, Cannon,
hopkins, breckenridge. Adams of Illinois,
Turner of Georgia and Holman. There
was some sharp sparring between Messrs.
Enloe, McMillin and Cannon, the two
into the discussion of the occurrence of the
DAY, on which Mr.. Cannon creared sensa-
tlon when replying to Mr.. Adoo, and
TWO other republican members exchanged
eplthets and blows, and Mr.. Cannon re-
sented their remarks.
ENLoE DEFEATED.
Finally Mr.. Enloe demanded the previous
question upon his resolution. which was so
modified as to be an expression on the part
9l tne House that it ''disapproves and con-
uelnns, Mr.. Kennedy's speech and directs
tne public printer to expunge it from the
permanent Congressional Record. The
mouse refused, by vote of SO yeas to ia
nays, 70 order the previous question.
