from Pennsylvania took the man as his
standard of manhood.
Bynum Has His Say.
After half an hour of uproar, Bynum
secured the floor amid comparative
quiet, and said the Campbell affidavit
was to the effect that Wilson and he had
said $15 month was enough for any
glass blower. In this district where he
was known, the affidavit had not been
circulated but it had been circulated in
Wilson's district. He had telegraphed
to the West Virginia papers denouncing
Campbell as ALTAR and a perjurer. "Since

Excitement and uproar.l
The Words Taken Down.
Cutcheon demanded that the words be
taken down, while Morgan, of Missis-
sippi, stood in front of the chairmans
desk and urged that both the letter and
the speech be stricken from the Iecord.
He feared they might lead to trouble
outside of the house.
The offensive words were taken down,
and the house reported from the clerk S
desk.
Cutcheon moved that the committee
rise and report the words to the house
for action. This was agreed to, 120 to 70.
The words having been reported to
the house, Breckenridge, of Kentucky,
made the point of order that there was
nothing in the report of the committee
to show that there had been no inter-
vening business before their utterance
and report to the house.
The speaker overruled the point OF
order on the ground that he must be
governed by the report made to him by
the chairman of the committee, and
must assume that the committee acted
according to the rules.
Breckenridge appealed.
On motion of Struble, of Iowa, the
appeal was laid on the table-yeas 1875,
nays 105.

censure of the house for the same.

Cutcheon demanded the previous
question, amid suggestions of "game
law" from the democratic side.
Springer made the point of order that
before resolution of censure could be
adopted, the speaker must decide that
the language was supplementary.
Cutcheon said he copied the resolu-
ton from the last resolution of the kind
ever presented in the house. That
resolution was offered by Her.
