body since the world began Laugh
ter. He was one of the gentlemen
named in this resolution, and he was
proud of it. In the course he had pur-
sued to-day he had obeyed the men who
sent him here, and he would always
obey them in preference to the order of
the gentleman from Illinois.
Mr.. Osborne, Republican, of Pennsyl-
vanla, with a great show OF lndlgna-
ton, said that he understood his name
was on the list. He would say to the
gentleman from Illinois that in putting
his name on the list he had been very
much in error. He had been here since
II o'clock and had answered at every
roll-call. He had been here when the
genial gentleman from Illinois had not
been. Laughter and applause on the
Democratic side He had been here
and looked for the gentleman from Hill
nols and had not seen him, and why the
gentleman should select him (OSborne)
was more than he could understand.
If, he continued, your record is to be
verified by this sort Of thing, if there is
less truth in it than is shown by your
resolution here, then l pity you. Laugh
ter and applause.
M. Cannon explained that the list Of
names had been furnished by the clerks
and the Speaker pro tenn. (Ir. Payson
explained that Mr.. Osborne's answer to
his name had not been heard on ac-
count of the confusion)
Mr.. Osborne insisted upon having the
record corrected.
This colloquy was carried on amid
much Democratic laughter.
Mr.. Smith, of Illinois: lis my name
reported on the black list" Laughter.
The Speaker pro TEN: : "The Chair is
not advised of any such list"
Then for 4 few moments there was
great confusion in the House. Fully a
dozen members were on their feet de-
manding recognition on question of
personal privilege and their efforts to
secure such recognition were noisily
seconded by their friends.
cognized, and he made vigorous pro-
test against the preamble.
Mr.. Henderson, of Iowa, interrupted
Mr.. Grain with the point Of order that
Mr.. Grain was not talking to ques-
tion Of personal privileges.
Mr.. Grain turned his attention to
Henderson and said {: The chairman
of the committee on appropriations
must be in a sad plight when he re-
qulres the assistance of the able and
fiery gentleman from Iowa" Laugh
ter
Mr.. Henderson Il will do what l
please"
Mr.. Grain You cannot bulldoze
me personally or through the chairman
of the committee on appropriations.
This is nothing but a petty species of
bulldozing, the object being to threaten
us in order to compel US to vote. l am
responsible to my constituents alone. l
went out of the chamber Intentionally
to AVOID being counted as present and
not voting. [ even took my hat and
umbrella away, because I have heard it
asserted that the clerks and pages were
sent to the cloak rooms to hunt up hats
and umbrellas in order that the Speaker
might count hats anu umbrellas pres
ent and not voting. Laughter l had
the right to do that. I have the right
to do that whenever please. ask the
chairman of the committee on appro-
priations If he did not threaten me and
another member on this side il we con-
tinued to do what we were doing he
would see that the chamber was locked
up and we were compelled to stay here
as prisoners. :,
THE charge was made" continued
Mr.. Grain, that the Democrats of the
South were depriving the negro Of the
right to vote and refusing to count his
ballot when cast, but no man in the
South had ever done, or attempted to
do, what the Speaker, backed by the
majority, had done in this House, and
that was 10 count the votes of men who
actually had not voted. 1t was to
avoid this that the men who thought
that the Il rd bill ought not to pass had
gone out OF the chamber"
Mr.. Henderson. of Indiana you
stood by while the Lodge bill passed,
and did not secede until the farmers
day came and then you sneaked out of
the hall" Republican applause.l
Mr.. Grain: Il represent as many
farmers as you do, out they are far
mers who produce cotton seed oil, be-
tween which and pure lard there is NO
more comparison than between heaven
and hell" Laughter."j
Mr.. Henderson "'rhen put 1t on the
market rs such. Don't sneak; be a
man." Republican applause.
Then Mr.. Turner. of New York, was
given his turn to rise to question of
personal privilege. He found his name
in the honorable company of the gentle
men who were named in the preamble.
Even suppose the gentleman withdrew
his preamble his purpose would have
been accomplished. He had been play
ing to the press gallery, and the names
of the gentlemen mentioned would be
found in all the papers tomorrow.
From time to time Republican mem
bers called for vote, but Mr.. Turner
refused to yield the floor, announcing
that he intended to talk for at least an
hour if his voice held out. He con-
tinued to arraign the chairman of the
committee on appropriations, who. he
said, was but posing before the press
gallery. He would, he said, if it were
in order, advert to the Star Chamber
proceedings by which this bill had been
forced on the House. Altogether Tur-
ner managed to consume three-quar-
ters of the hour he had undertaken to
! fill out, and when he had concluded
amid the applause of the Democratic
side, on motion of Mr.. Brosius, the
! House at 5.45 adjourned.

GRANVILLE, S. G. Aug. 27.-About
three or four weeks ago you recorded
the killing of two men near this place
by the Richmond and Danville railroad
trains. About a week ago one of the
regular passenger trains came to stop
just after passing this place or death
ground. The conductor asked what the
| trouble was and learned from his engin-
eer that he had killed man "back
there" Upon strict investigation they
| conclude6 the eDrinper was mistaken
