upon being informed as to whether the clerk
was reading from the journal or the Record
The Speaker somewhat severely)-Th clerk
Is reading properly and will continue.
But Mr.. Richardson (Tenn.) insisted upon
the point. The House was entitled to have
read the journal and not the Record He SUBJ
mitted that it was not in order for the clerk
to read the journal from the Record.
AFTER woRDY sPARRINa MATCH
between Mr.. Richardson and the Speaker, in
which Mr. buchanan (NJ also unsheathed his
sword, the Speaker ruled that if the gentlemen
insisted upon 1t, the roll call would be read
from the original tally sheets. As the insis t.
ance came, the clerk proceeded to read in that
manner.
The reading of the journal consumed pre-
cisely one hour, and then Mr.. Dingey (Me. }
moved its approval and, on that motion, de-
handed the previous question.
The previous question was ordered-yeas,
LOG; nays, 66-the clerk noting quorum.
MR.. TURNER KILLING TINE
Mr.. Turner (N.Y.) again set out on his task
Of consuming time, taking as his text the Can.
non resolution OF yesterday. In ap-
proving the, journal containing that
holding up the men mentioned therein to tho
execration and contumely Of mankind.
tLaughter.] Though he proclaimed him
sell TO be In good, voice he
was, was ~ unable to proceed for more
resolution, when he ceased and yielded
to Mr.. McAdoo (N.J.). That gen.
tleman said that the Cannon resolution
not only stated the facts Of the Record, but
questioned the motives OF members, many
members leaving the hall so that they could
not be counted as present" The gentleman
had not done him the honor Of including him
IN his list. He had left the hall
Yesterday not to evade his responsible
ity, but to attend to some business
in tho Senate. II the gentleman had put him
on the list Gas he might have done) he would
have been stating false conclusion.
The gentleman from Illinois was an adept
scholar in the school of arbitrary methods
What right had the gentleman to indict his
peers and hold them up to the country as
leaving the hall for the purpose Of evadng
responsibility. After ridiculing Mr.. Cannon
craftsmanship and historical knowledge, he
cast his stone OF ridicule upon Mr.. Cannon's
love for the farmer.
STORMY SCENE.
Then ensued the stormiest scene Of the Sos
sion. Mr.. Cannon rose to reply. He admitted
that he was not a great statesman and also
admitted the superiority of the gentleman
from New Jersey.
vulgar expression by Mr.. Cannon was re-
ceived with some applause, and there was In
hall.
Mr.. McAdoo shouted out that he wanted the
words to 60 upon the record as q specimen of
MIR. Cannon's vulgarity.
Mr.. Caruth (Ky.) suggested the propriety of
clearing the galleries of ladies, while Mr.. Enloe
was clamoring for recognition on a question of
order.
Again Mr.. McAdoo shouted out to Mr.. CAM
con: IF you can afford to let that
go on tho Record as specimen of
your stable jockey wit, can afford to leave it
there. 1 cannot indulge in bIackg uardism with
you. You ought to argue with stable jockey.
That is your size.
Finally Mr.. Enloe was recognized on his
point of order, and demanded that the words
be taken down.
Mr.. Cannon-Oh, if that annoys the gentle
man will withdraw it.
After brief discussion the Speaker over
ruled the point of order on the ground that
Mr.. Enloe's proper course would have been
to call the gentleman to order and not to raise
point of order.
Mr.. Enloe appealed from the decision, and
the clerk proceeded to call the roll on sustain
ing the decision of the Speaker.
But a storm was brooding. Its mutterings
were heard when Mr.. Mason, coming down
the aisle near which Mr.. Cannon
was sitting, in a tone audible
Hny to those those who were in the immediate dial. ven
t!eman in no measured words.
He declared that Mr. Cannon's
family we're in the gallery he would not have
uttered the words he had. His (Mason's) fam
lily was in the gallery, and he would not sit
tamely by and hear them insulted.
Some gentlemen in the vicinity say that the
lie was passed; but before anything more
serious occurred the storm broke out in an
other quarter.
Mr.. Wilson of Washington, taking &C.
casion to defend Mr.. Cannon's action,
aroused the ire of Mr. Beckwith of
Nj, hot words were exchanged. the lie was
given and a blow was passed. Friends seized
both men and finally quieted them.
