LICks Az REED.
The House then went into Committee Of
the Whole-Mr. Payson, of Illinois. in the
chair-on the General Deficiency Appropri-
alton bill. Mr.. Henderson, Of Iowa. en-
planned that the bill carried an arrropr-
/ alton Of $J.li0.O0.
| Mr.. Rogers, Of Arkansas, promised y = re-
marks by m expression Of gratitude that
the presence OF Mr.. Payson in the chair was
a guarantee that he would not hc taken OF
the floor. On two occasions the speaker
had taken him oil the floor. The Speaker
had conceived and taken it into his brain
| for il had come out Of his mouth. (rh0ugh
II seemed to him that il was more gall than
brains in that he had right TO take mem
Der Oh the ilo0r.)
MIR. Kerr, OF Iowa, thought IL was about
time that members addressing the House
should cease To insult the presiding officer.
Mr.. Rogers, continuing. denounced what
he termed the tyranny Of the Speaker AMI
the majority Of the Committee on Rules.
The House. he said. had degenerated into
state of anarchy and chaos II was sus-
pected that the speaker turned his back on
full. fairfrank discussion.on opportunity. for
amendments, on parliamentary. .decorum, ON
official urbanity on historic and pathetic
memories in order that be might more
fully perpetuate his party in power and
draw his support for the Presidency from
the INSCRIPTIONS mass Of ignsrant and yul-
gar partisans. who practccd the infamous
and corrupt maxim that the end iustiiics
the means. lie had degraded the majority
with the full assurance on the part of Re-
publican members that If this scheme
should break down under the judg-
mont of liberty loving people they
would perish. like Samson, under the ruins:
bat if IL succeeded, that he alone should
reap all the glory. Their want of patriotic
courage was exceeded only by their sui
cidal stupidity: and among them all had
not been found man with the courage of "A
Jackson, the patriotism of Henry, and the
love of liberty that inspired the fathers,
who could say "ihis l. our country
these are our liberties. these are our coun-
trymen, and You are servants. and We will
not De the one trodden down under foot or
be- the one outraged and wrongcd." NO"
he concluded. "May tell YOU. MIR. speaker
that they curse YOU and dospisc YOU and
hate y0u; and when you are assailod in
private and in public they are SILENT
Mr.. Henderson, OF Iowa, said
when the gentAman intimated that
il was necessary for some member
on the Republican side TO check
the alleged tyranny Of tbc speaker. and that
Republicans We're dumb in the presence of
an abuse ,of power, be- replied that the
speaker was only part of "A solid majority,
bent ON 50 amending the rules that the
business of the country could be executed
in thi- chamber.
FAIR TYPE OF MS PATTY.
Mr.. Breckenridge. of kentucky. re-
icrrcd 10 his criticism of the present
code of rules at the time II was
up for consideration. lie had predicted
that II would lead 10 friction between
the Speaker and the members. He had no
criticism to make upon the speaker. II
the gentleman on the other side werc
satisfied with that officer. God forbid that
he should attempt to remove that saiisfac-
lion. II they We're willing accept the
Speaker as fair type Of their party he
would enter no dissent. The speaker had
won his supremacy: hc had exercised the
supremacy he had won. Laughter.

appeal against the Federal Election bill. con-
cluding rs follows: Gentlemen Of the North,
